Holy Lord from Teyvat

Chapter 185 Retribution?

The next night, the man in black went to another meeting point to meet with the nobles and merchants.

They are the other party involved in the rumor incident.

Their purpose is not difficult to guess: to alienate the Knights and Zheng Tian.

Because Zheng Tian is on good terms with the Knights, the Knights can get help from Zheng Tian to a certain extent.

Lawrence didn't want the Knights to do this, and some nobles didn't want the Knights to get Zheng Tian's help because it would harm their interests.

Just because this guy appeared in Mond, they had to be quiet for the time being. In other words, Zheng Tian did nothing to block their way.

As long as Zheng Tian is there, there is a group of omnipresent black shadow ninjas appearing in everyone's sight every day. Some guys who are guilty of their crimes cannot sleep well and are afraid of being beheaded even in their dreams at night.

Wasn’t there a guy named Chayevich who was sent to jail not long ago?

Therefore, even if Zheng Tian would not help them weaken the Knights, as long as he left, or even just had a gap with the Knights, it would be a great victory for them. So, they joined.

However, today, the man in black felt something was wrong.

Every time they met, he could hear these guys insulting Zheng Tian and complaining about how their own secret businesses were affected and how much money they lost. Why was it so quiet today?

When Lawrence's representative saw the man in black coming, he said, "Oh, you're finally here. What do you want to see us about?"

Man in black: "The Fatui and the Cult of the Abyss have entered the scene and are targeting the Treasure Thieves."

Everyone was greatly surprised to hear the man in black say this.

"what happened?"

"What does it have to do with them?"

"Did the Treasure Stealing Group interfere with other people's mission?"

……

Everyone started discussing it, and the man in black saw that they all looked ignorant, so he knew there was no value in asking this question.

"Forget it, let's go check it out again. You guys should also keep an eye on the area below and ask questions carefully. Don't let anyone die without knowing how they died. Is there anything else?"

Representative Lawrence said, "Yes, we want to see him."

He refers to the boss of the men in black.

The man in black asked in confusion, "Why do you want to see our boss?"

Representative Lawrence: "Humph, don't worry about it as you are just a messenger."

In the past few days, the Lawrence family has been cautiously asking questions indirectly, and from Zheng Tian's performance, they have basically confirmed two things: First, Zheng Tian doesn't seem to care much about these rumors; second, Eula is playing with Zheng Tian for real, and occasionally they see Zheng Tian spend the night in Eula's bedroom (Zheng Tian after entering the room: Ninja, let's leave from the shadows.).

Lawrence was annoyed and happy at the same time when he got the answer.

The rumors were useless and just a waste of money. But there was still a chance to save the situation, and there was no need to worry about Zheng Tian's ruthless liquidation of them. Once they became his subordinates and coaxed them well, the master might even forget about it once he was happy.

Therefore, the Lawrence family has already made up their mind to call their own people and cut ties with the men in black directly. It is better to do this sooner rather than later.

Although not everyone agreed with Lawrence's opinion at the beginning, in the face of huge benefits, most of them chose to defect.

So, the men in black were abandoned. But the other party had dirt on them, so they couldn't just leave. So what should they do?

They decided to kill him and silence him!

But this man in black is just a contact person. No one knows where the real mastermind is hiding, so he has to be lured out first.

The two sides started arguing, but Lawrence insisted strongly, so the man in black said helplessly: "Wait until I go back and report to the higher-ups."

Whether it is the demands of these masters or what the treasure-stealing group suffered, they should all be told to the boss.

……

Lawrence Mansion, the bedroom prepared for Zheng Tian.

Zheng Tian opened his eyes and ordered the ninjas from a distance: "Separate and follow, don't leave anyone behind."

"Ninja Shadow Sweeping Crime" is now in theaters!

"That man in black should be able to find the mastermind soon, right? Ninja soldier, wake me up when you find it."

According to the intelligence from the Knights, this guy seems to be dressed the same as the two assassins they captured before.

Zheng Tianxia ordered everyone to pay special attention to the man in black and go to bed.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Tian was awakened by a ninja's call: The mastermind behind the scenes has been found!

Through the ninja soldier's vision, Zheng Tian saw the man.

"…Why is it him?"

……

In the wild, at dawn, a hint of paleness had already appeared in the east.

Zheng Tian found Kaiya and asked about some things.

Kaiya looked at the sketch of the ninja soldier and sighed, "After all this fuss, it turned out to be this guy."

Both of them knew the person in the painting. It was the Winter Merchant that Zheng Tian had sent to jail before going to Liyue: Chayevich!

Zheng Tian: "He should be in jail, how did he get out?"

"I think it seems that he spent a lot of money and found some connections, and he was rescued after being detained for a month."

Kaiya's eyes showed murderous intent. "Because of you, we investigated him carefully. But he was quite clean. Although we found many suspicious points, we didn't have much evidence. And it seemed that someone inside was bribed by him. I didn't expect that he would dare to cause trouble after he got out."

"Don't worry, even if there is no evidence this time, he will die by suicide, together with the traitor..."

Zheng Tian was silent for a while, then he sighed, "I'll let the ninjas check first and try to catch all the ones who can be caught. But I'll say this in advance, if they die this time, I'll watch them die."

I will investigate the person. I will still give you face this time and let you judge, but I will keep an eye on it. Brother, I should have done enough to live up to my friends, but if anyone makes me unhappy again, be careful that I will personally make him bleed.

Seeing Zheng Tian like this, Kaiya understood that this was a notice, so he had to calm Zheng Tian down while mentally preparing to report to Qin.

Zheng Tian said that he was very calm and returned to the Lawrence residence.

In this way, another two days passed, and under the appearance of calm, the ninjas wrote down each force and each name in the shadows.

Zheng Tian occasionally gave some lists and information to Kaiya, telling them not to alert the enemy, but they could make some preparations. For example, after these guys were finished, they could quickly send people to replace the vacant positions, or take the opportunity to eat the cake in the market.

At the Knights' headquarters, Jean looked at the list with a headache, and felt a great headache. The same was true for Lisa and Kaia beside her.

Kaiya sighed, "It's simply a book of life and death."

Lisa: "I didn't expect that so many people were involved, and Zheng Tian also caught a lot of dirty tricks on them."

Qin: "Yes, some of the information even revealed the truth of some old cases. The black shadow ninja is really shocking."

Lisa said seriously: "Qin, what should we do? Zheng Tian is watching us this time, we can't let him down again."

Qin: "Zheng Tian has helped us to this extent. If I don't take action because of their huge size, then I will not only be sorry for Zheng Tian, ​​but also for Lord Barbatos and the chivalry in my heart."

The evidence collected by Zheng Tian can actually bring down the opponent, but the turmoil it causes will be quite large, and it may even be a huge loss for the Knights.

I will be busy next.

"Kaia, tell Zheng Tian that the Knights will cooperate with all his actions."

"it is good."

"Lisa, come and help me with the preparations. We don't need to discuss how many people should be executed now, but we have to be prepared to face the impact afterwards."

"Ah."

After Kaia and Lisa walked out of the office, Qin stood up and looked at the group emblem on the wall.

"This time, we must not make any more mistakes."

Another half month later.

In Mond Cathedral, serious criminals were brought before the crowd, and Qin personally read out their crimes and sentences.

Due to its special nature, this trial is public.

Amid the public's exclamations, some old cases and traitors and spies were made public.

Including smuggling, human trafficking, addictive drug trafficking, treason, the pornography industry... I can only say that these guys all have special skills.

From the treasure-stealing gangs to the nobles, wealthy businessmen, and high-ranking knights or nuns, all looked ashen. Some of them even had bruised faces and noses, and the Knights stated that they were accidentally injured when they resisted arrest.

Most of the senior members of the Lawrence family were on the list and received special attention. Eula was also with Qin at the time, and Qin praised Eula's contribution in this incident in front of everyone, which greatly improved her reputation.

……

"Ahem, the last one is Chayevich, the instigator of this public opinion storm..."

The finale finally appeared.

He was not the one with the most serious crime, but he was a key figure, and Mond officials believed that he should be the last one to appear.

Chayevich also looked ashen, with bruises all over his face and many bandages on his body. Moreover, he was pushed up in a wheelchair!

Lisa, who was sitting on Zheng Tian's left in the first row of seats, nudged him with her arm and whispered, "Hey, that Chayevich is here, and you're pretty heavy-handed."

This matter is of great importance. The Knights have all the free time, except for guarding and maintaining order in various places in the city, they are here.

People like Amber and Kaia were on guard in the city; people like Barbara and Noelle were already at the rescue unit; and people like Lisa simply watched the trial with Zheng Tian.

Zheng Tian looked at Chayevich and shook his head: "I had almost forgotten about him, but he insisted on disturbing my mood."

Zheng Tian recalled the situation when he caught this guy.

……

In the dim room, the seriously injured Chayevich was lying on the floor, unable to even sit up, let alone escape.

Zheng Tian sat on the bamboo chair opposite him, looking at him coldly.

Around them, a group of black shadow ninjas formed a circle.

There were two corpses in the corner of the room. They were the assassins trained by Chayevich.

Zheng Tian: "Tell me, why are you still targeting me? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Although Chayevich's face was covered in blood, he laughed after hearing this: "Hahaha, why? You actually asked why?"

His face was suddenly filled with hatred: "Because you ruined me! In Mondstadt, I didn't have much evidence of my crimes, but in Solstice, I was found to have a lot."

"Because my competitors didn't give me a chance, my business, my company, and my assets are all ruined!"

"Most importantly, for some reason, I was abandoned by the people above me! I'm done. I've lost their support, and my opponents won't sit back and watch me grow. I don't have another chance."

"What I can keep is a drop in the bucket compared to what I originally had."

Zheng Tian: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Chayevich's eyes were red with anger: "You have taken away the pillars that support my house, and you have demolished my house; you have taken away the foundation of my family's livelihood, and you have taken my life."

"I know my revenge won't do much for you, but if it does, even if it just makes you frown, I'll be willing to do it."

……

Lisa: "Oh, don't be angry, it's not worth it. I'm free this afternoon, so I'll treat you to afternoon tea. I'll help you relax."

The ending sound was very imaginative, but Zheng Tian knew that Lisa was just a talker, so he smiled and replied, "I want milk tea."

Sitting on Zheng Tian’s right seat, Kong covered Paimon’s ears with a helpless look on his face.

Chayevich saw Zheng Tian at a glance, and his eyes immediately regained their spirits.

He yelled, "You bastard, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to use the most vicious and cruel method in the world..."

Instantly, the unaware people in the church looked at him as if he were a warrior.

As the biggest contributor in this incident, Zheng Tian is now also notorious. They really didn't expect that Chayevich would dare to scold him in person.

call out!

The electric eye aimed at Chayevich's head and the scorching rays shot past his scalp.

By the time everyone came to their senses, the smell of burning hair had spread, and Chayevich finally calmed down.

Zheng Tian: "If you dare to scold me again, I will make sure you can't open your mouth anymore."

The discussions in the church also stopped, and for a moment, everyone was silent.

Qin: "Ahem, prisoner Chayevich, please stay calm. And honorary knight Zheng Tian, ​​the sacred West Wind Church does not allow private fighting."

Everyone just saw Zheng Tian nodded, and Qin didn't pursue the matter anymore, so they turned their attention back to Chayevich.

Qin read out Chayevich's crimes and could only say that this guy was indeed a wealthy businessman doing big business before, and was involved in both black and white affairs, including prostitution, gambling and drugs.

It is particularly worth mentioning that in Mond, the illegal act he contributed the most to was: trafficking in children, most of whom went to Winter Solstice.

Considering the recent news about the doctor, everyone was a little uneasy. Some people burst into tears and even fainted. Judging from the discussion, their family suspected that their child was missing.

Finally, Chayevich's verdict was: death penalty!

Surprisingly, Chayevich remained quite calm when the verdict came out.

Before leaving, Chayevich looked at Zheng Tian and said, "You will be punished."

Zheng Tian sneered, and in front of many knights, nuns, reporters, and ordinary people, he said without hesitation: "Retribution? I wasn't afraid of you when you were alive, so what's the use of you now that you're dead?"

"By the way, I will watch you die tomorrow. Go to hell and apologize to those innocent people you killed, you..."

Under Chayevich's resentful eyes, Zheng Tianxie smiled and continued, "The former rich man whose assets were wiped out by me!"

Chayevich was so angry that he was panting like a cow, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was shaking: "You...you..."

Killing people and destroying their hearts, the last sentence is simply killing people and destroying their hearts! To him, what other words are more cruel than Zheng Tian’s last words?

"puff!"

Chayevich finally vomited blood and fainted on the spot.
