Doomsday Code

Chapter 167 Road closure

On the main road leading to the outside world from Huidun City, just as Chen Cheng guessed, many big businessmen who were previously stranded in the city are now traveling light with their guards and want to leave the Huidun territory through this road.

When these big businessmen saw the checkpoints that stretched across the continent and the soldiers in armor and holding swords, they all had a bad feeling in their hearts.

These big businessmen quickly gathered together to discuss, and finally they selected a representative from among them, who came forward with his guards and asked:

"Um, sir, I don't know what the meaning of this road closure is. We are all businessmen and now want to return to our respective places. I wonder if you can let us go with you."

The representative had a smile on his face, and then waved to the guard beside him, who quickly brought a small wooden box.

When you open the wooden box, you can see golden coins neatly stacked inside.

"These are not respects, but just a token of gratitude for your protection on the city wall..."

Before the representative could finish his words, he saw Torre slowly walking out of the wooden house at the checkpoint.

At this time, Torre said with a playful smile on his face:

"Hey, isn't this the great merchant Feisi? I still remember that you, Feisi, ordered a batch of magic crystals in Huidun City. Why are you leaving now?"

Feis was only briefly surprised, as he didn't expect that Torre came here instead of following Huidun.

He never expected that Huidun was going to block the big bosses of the Chamber of Commerce from leaving Huidun City.

Just as Feis was about to come up and chat, Torre looked at the big businessmen in the distance and then said:

"I was ordered by the Earl to set up a checkpoint here. This is because the beast tide has just receded, and there are concerns that there may be magical beasts roaming this road. Therefore, all roads to the Wisdom Shield Territory are closed to the outside world. We will not allow passage until the Eighth Legion of Captain Jilong has completely cleared the magical beasts on the road."

After Torre finished speaking, he glanced at the box in the hands of the guard beside Feis, and then showed a disdainful expression.

Then he asked someone to bring his warhorse. Now that he had done what he needed to do, it was time to go back and report to Huidun.

Before he left, he said to the soldiers setting up the checkpoints:

"Remember the military order. If you dare to let anyone leave, the military law will not tolerate it."

After saying that, Torre rode away on his horse.

When the big businessmen saw this, they looked at each other in bewilderment. These old hands in the business world suddenly felt an uneasy feeling as if a storm was about to come.

The guard beside Feis felt a bit caught in a dilemma at this time, so he simply looked at his boss.

Feis glared at the guard, then shook his sleeves and said:

"What are you looking at? Didn't you hear what Knight Commander Torre said? The road is not safe. Hurry up and escort me back to the city."

Feis did not discuss with the merchants. He went straight back to his carriage and asked someone to turn back.

The same is true for other big businessmen.

In the reception room of the Adventurer's Guild, Chen Cheng and Emile didn't have to wait long, and soon Moni came down from upstairs to meet them.

When Moni saw Emile, he immediately performed standard elven etiquette towards him, and then he sincerely apologized to Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng did not make things difficult for him. After all, Moni did not do anything substantial, and he was not right to go upstairs without waiting for Moni's consent.

"Okay, President Moni, we won't say any more. I believe that after you meet Miss Emil, you should know what our Earl's Mansion needs to discuss with you."

Moni understood the meaning of Chen Cheng's words. Although Chen Cheng had done him a great favor by using the lotus stem to heal their wounds, there were some things that Moni also needed an answer for.

"I know the whole story, and the culprit, Baron William, is now in prison in the city. I just want a fair answer. Those who illegally sell slaves, including the officials behind them, must be punished accordingly."

At this time, Moni still thought that Huidun wanted to blackmail En to make him turn a blind eye to the matter, and then he could use this handle to win over some people behind these slave traders.

However, Chen Cheng was very happy to hear his words, because he did not have a good impression of these slave traders. In his eyes, these guys were no different from human traffickers, and they were all a bunch of damned bastards.

This time he came to discuss this with Moni without Huidun's consent, and he also wanted to inform Moni first. Their goal was to clean up these scum among humans.

Of course, this does not mean that Chen Cheng does not believe Huidun and thinks that Huidun will really do as Moni thought and make a deal with others about this matter.

And even if Huidun wanted to, as long as Emile, the victim, was still alive, those guys would be doomed anyway.

"President Moni is right. This is what our Earl's Mansion means as well. Those lawbreakers must receive the punishment they deserve."

When Moni heard this, he was a little surprised at first, but then when he saw Emile smiling beside Chen Cheng, he immediately thought of the result.

At this moment, he really felt that he sometimes thought too much. As for the loss suffered by Huidun this time, he had no intention of doing anything with this thing.

Moreover, this time it was his subordinate Chen Cheng who saved Emile. As long as he publicizes it, even if he doesn't mention Chen Cheng's name, he can say that it was his subordinates, Earl Huidun, who defied power and saved the elf lady in distress. In this way, his reputation in the upper class will instantly rise several levels.

This is no greater than the benefits brought by controlling those scumbags. What Huidun lacks most is the reputation in the upper class.

And now the basic tone between humans and elves is friendship and peace.

After the basic tone was determined, Chen Cheng stood up and prepared to leave.

Just before he was about to leave, Moni stopped him and said:

"Brown, I think you should get something from the Adventurer's Guild."

However, Chen Cheng thought about it and said:

"President Moni, let's do it next time. I will definitely get what I need next time."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng took out the seal that Keelung gave him and waved it in front of Moni.

When Emil was about to leave with Chen Cheng, Moni stopped her and said:

"If Miss Emil is able, you may stay in my Adventurer's Guild. My teammates and I have all received favors from the elves. It would be our honor if Miss Emil stayed."

However, Chen Cheng grabbed Amir's hand and smiled at Moni:

"I'm sorry, President Moni. Miss Emil may need to meet with Earl Huidun now. After all, the Earl is also very concerned about Miss Emil's situation, so you can only step back."

After saying that, Chen Cheng pulled Emile away from the Adventurer's Guild.

After leaving the guild, Chen Cheng showed an apologetic expression to Emile and said:

"I'm sorry, I just made a choice for you without your permission."

Emil shook her head to indicate that it was okay, and then she asked:

"But why are you doing this, Brown?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said:

“Although I have no grudge against President Moni, I am not a generous person. He just said a few insults to me upstairs, and I was just returning the favor.

Emile, after you meet the Earl, you can also go and see him again.

And I remember that Miss Emil is here to travel with our human race. The Adventurer Guild where Moni is is here, so maybe they can give you a lot of help."
