168: Chapter 168 The Shocked Leopard-Headed Guard Leader

In the main hall of the First Prince's mansion, four large golden pillars supported the entire hall. The tables and chairs were made of Crimson Wood, and the floor was polished from Magic Crystals. Blant stood there, waiting anxiously.

“Sixth Prince, you're here. Please, have a seat. Someone, bring tea!” Spike walked out with a smug expression and sat at the head of the hall.

“Big Brother, it's been a long time. What happened last time was truly an accident. I apologize and hope you can forgive me. These people this time are really just my friends. I have no intention of competing with you for the throne. Please, release my friends!” Cold sweat poured down Blant's forehead. He had only one thought in his mind: to quickly rescue the Commander.

“You lost those heavenly materials and earthly treasures last time, and Father was absolutely furious. Do you know that? If I hadn't pleaded for you, you would have been kicked out of the Capital long ago. As for these people, they dared to threaten Father a few days ago. I'm just venting Father's anger for him, do you understand?” Spike said, pointing at Blant angrily.

“Yes, it's all my fault. I'm willing to find more heavenly materials and earthly treasures to offer you, Big Brother. In addition, I'll give you a hundred thousand gold and six hundred Magic Crystals. As long as you're willing to release them, anything is fine!” Blant hurriedly bowed and apologized, speaking anxiously.

“Uh, well, I was only venting Father's anger. Since they're your friends, let's forget about it. I'll go and bring them over personally. Wait a moment and don't worry!” Spike's eyes darted around, and he immediately stood up and walked toward the backyard.

In front of the prison door, Spike looked at the Leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards and asked coldly, “Is your poison really that powerful? Are they truly beyond saving?”

“Your Highness the First Prince, the jade cicada poison flower is extremely toxic and has no antidote. They certainly won't last until tomorrow morning. Rest assured!” The Leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards said with a sycophantic smile.

“Mm, that's good. Go and hand these people over to the Sixth Prince. Don't forget to tell him that now that the people are handed over, he shouldn't forget what he promised!” Spike's face wore a smug smile. He felt that trading these dying people for such a generous reward was simply too good a deal.

“Yes! Your Highness the First Prince! I'll get right on it!” the Leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards quickly replied.

In the hall, Blant saw Wei He and the others being escorted over by Leopard-Headed Beastmen. Everyone was stained with black blood. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Wei He, are you all alright?”

“Your Highness the Sixth Prince, here are the people you wanted. His Highness the First Prince asked me to tell you not to forget what you promised. Hmph, let's go!” The Leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards snorted coldly and left with his subordinates, leaving Wei He and the others to Blant's goat-headed servants.

“This is too much! They actually treated the Commander like this. I'm going to tell Father and have him punish them!” Blant stomped his feet in anger and shouted furiously.

“Alright, let's just hurry back and find a way to detoxify,” Wei He sighed helplessly, taking Blant's hand as he spoke.

“Right, right, the Commander is wise. Let's go!” Blant nodded repeatedly and spoke to the Sheep-Headed Orc behind him.

When everyone walked out of the First Prince's mansion, Wei He and Linlin pushed away the Sheep-Headed Orc and had Blant take Neme and Tang Xiaowei back.

“Hey, do you have any experts or anyone who can help me capture a few people?” Wei He looked at Blant with an expectant expression.

“Experts? Well, I've never really had any power. Military and financial power are all in the hands of my First and Second Brothers. Uh...” Blant thought for a moment and scratched his head in embarrassment.

“Sigh, alright. Just the two of us will do; we can still get things done. You guys go back!” Wei He waved his hand, no longer making things difficult for Blant, and spoke leisurely.

“Brother Wei He, what are we waiting for here?” Linlin looked at Wei He curiously and asked.

“Waiting for our reinforcements. Also, those Leopard-Headed Beastmen must have been the ones who poisoned us. Since they can administer poison, how could they not have an antidote?” Wei He explained calmly to Linlin.

“Wow, Brother Wei He, you're so smart! Then wouldn't it be much simpler to just get the antidote directly from them!” Linlin's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands excitedly.

Wei He waited at a street corner where he could see the entrance of the First Prince's mansion. They waited from afternoon until evening. During this time, Wei He put Huang Yichen, the Radiation Engineers, and the Tesla Troopers into the night hawk helicopters and anti-air tracked vehicles, then used the chronosphere to teleport them to his side.

With a shua sound, blue and white gradient space-time ripples appeared beside Wei He and Linlin. Linlin was startled and shouted loudly, “Brother Wei He, so this is the chronosphere you mentioned. It's so magical!”

Amidst Linlin's cries of surprise, the night hawk helicopter and anti-air tracked vehicle appeared before them. Huang Yichen stepped down from the night hawk helicopter. Wei He didn't let the others out, instead ordering the anti-air tracked vehicle and night hawk helicopter to go to Blant's mansion.

Just then, a group of Leopard-Headed Guards walked out of Spike's mansion. As they reached the corner, their path was blocked by Huang Yichen.

“Who are you? Get out of the way! Can't you see we're Royal Guardss? How ignorant. We always run into idiots like you. Scram!” a Leopard-Headed Guard cursed, pointing fiercely at Huang Yichen.

“Hahaha, this guy is covered in yellow dust; he must be a country bumpkin. Probably a farmer from the countryside in the city for the first time. Forget it, don't lower yourself to his level. Let's go!” The Leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards mocked disdainfully, looking at the dirt-covered Huang Yichen.

“Yes! Boss is right. It's not worth getting angry over such an idiot!” the Leopard-Headed Guards nodded repeatedly in agreement.

“Ah!” Suddenly, a scream rang out beside the Leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards. When he turned to look, the leopard head of the guard who had just been cursing was gone. There was only a corpse lying on the ground, with nothing left but a bloody hole that was continuously gushing blood.

“Are you looking for him?” Huang Yichen's voice rang out as he held up the head of the Leopard-Headed Guard from just now, placing it in front of the Leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards with a look of disdain.

“Ah! You... you actually dare to kill a Royal Guards! You're courting death! I'm telling you, you won't get away. An army will come to surround and suppress you soon!” Although the Leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards spoke tough words, his legs were trembling, and his whole body shook as he backed away several steps. The group of Leopard-Headed Guards behind him also retreated in fear.

Wei He walked over from a nearby street at this time. Looking at this group of trembling Royal Guardss, he couldn't help but chuckle and said leisurely, “Don't kill them. Looking at them, they're quite strong. Taking them back to mine or build a bridge or something—they'd definitely be good at it!”

“As you command, Commander!” Huang Yichen said, looking at Wei He respectfully.

“Ah, Lord, you're alright! That's wonderful! I was just saying I should go check on you. I've been thinking carefully, and what I did was truly wrong, a complete mistake. I'm practically not even human. Please, Lord, be merciful and spare us this once!” The Leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards was stunned the moment he saw Wei He. This person had been poisoned by the jade cicada poison flower, yet he was perfectly fine and even walking leisurely on the street. Truly remarkable.

“If you want me to spare you, fine. First, hand over the antidote for the jade cicada poison flower!” Wei He said, looking coldly at the Leader of the Leopard-Headed Guards.
