Weapon seller in the world of magic
Chapter 60.2: Commander Bai visits the store (part-2)"What the hell is that?" The soldiers in the front went into a panic state as soon as they saw the Battle Tank, which is even bigger than the blue drake, the Commander is riding.
A Captain, on the other hand, fell on his butt in shock. More than 3 weeks have passed since the Song Clan incident, so, the rumors about a huge carriage-looking puppet that can move and attack its own slowly died down.
But, Captain An Se was there at the Song Mansion and knew how dangerous this battle tank is.
And when he saw it at super close distance, especially the long cannon, his heartbeat spiked up, and lost strength in his legs in fear.
After all, the Battle Tank is not only strong enough to kill 5-circle but even send a 6-circle realm Mage like Song Yun into a coma with just a single attack. On the other hand, he's only at 4-circle. That makes the Battle Tank more terrifying to him.
Some of the soldiers at the entrance hurriedly raised their shields in wariness, attracting the attention of the soldiers behind them.
"Hmm, the soldiers are finally alert. But, what about those two?"
Through the screen, Mark saw the people on the drake aren't paying attention towards the tank. They were just looking away. So, he pressed on the horn and held it until Song Yue and Bai Xun turned their heads and look in the direction.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA look of surprise appeared on Song Yue. To date, she never saw the Battle Tank but only heard of its descriptions from the servants. "Lu Zhen…" She mumbled in a low tone. There's a look of sadness on her face.
Earlier, just a while ago, her engagement with Zhang Kong is officially being annulled.
As soon as the both of them stepped inside the Zhang Mansion's compound with a regiment, the elders who happened to be present at the place thought Bai Xun is taking revenge for the humiliation done by them.
The elders got angered and tried to retaliate, not caring about the difference in strength. In the end, they were beaten down. Surprisingly, Zhang Clan's retired clan head intervened and managed to stop him through sheer strength.
It was then Song Yue finally realized that the reason behind the annulment of her engagement isn't just her father. It's because Zhang Kong's grandfather finally managed to enter the 7-circle realm and increased his lifespan by 50 more years, this mess happened. Now that Zhang Clan's status reached new heights, they no longer felt they are inferior to Song Clan and made the bold step.
Realizing the truth, Bai Xun put an ultimatum before Zhang Clan's heir. However, Zhang Kong replied that he won't go against the decision of his clan when he was told to choose between Song Yue and the clan.
As a result, he received a strike from enraged Bai Xun and got seriously injured with all the bones broken.
Bai Xun vented his anger and both of them decided to bury this matter, right away.
Song Yue naturally was depressed by these events. She wants to go straight home and stay alone but Bai Xun didn't stop there. He expressed his intentions to meet the owner of the Genesis store and dragged her along with him.
Back to the present, Mark continued to press the horn. As it was too loud, the nearby soldiers couldn't help close their ears while moving back.
He finally lifted his finger when the Blue Drake flapped its wings and turned around to fly towards him.
As it stopped in mid-air with over a few meters above the tank, Bai Xun grabbed her and jumped down, landing on the ground.
Mark got up from his seat, climbed the ladder and opened the door, peeked outside, and took a glimpse at the people who are standing right before the Tank.
Previously, he saw it from far, so, he didn't see Bai Xun properly. When he took a closer look, Mark was taken aback by his giant body and muscles. "Even fighters in WWE wouldn't be this huge. Does this guy have giant blood or something?"
His attention on him stayed only for a couple of seconds. Mark's attention was quickly caught by the beauty beside him. His eyes lingered on her for a couple of seconds while a smile appeared on his face, "Lady Song, it's been a while."
It was then, something clicked in his mind. "Wait, why am I smiling? Isn't she here for revenge?"
*Ahem* he cleared his throat and instantly changed his expression, looking at the both of them coldly before she return his greetings. "If you are here for revenge, let me warn you beforehand. I will no longer show any mercy as I did on your father."
Upon hearing his words, a deep frown appeared on Bai Xun. At the same time, he fell into thoughts, "this face is familiar. Where I have seen it before?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Song Yue hurriedly waved her hands, "No, we come in peace. Uncle Bai, I mean, Commander Bai Xun wanted to meet you"
"Bai Xun? This guy is him? That legendary Commander?" Mark's attention shifted to Bai Xun again. He was surprised upon hearing the name. Even Lu Zhen in the past heard of this mighty commander, the only 7-circle realm expert in the Imperial City.
Mark's wariness only increased now, despite her words. He hurriedly opened the inventory and took out the peak strength potion. Grabbing in its hands to use it any time, Mark posed the question in a serious tone, "Speak your intentions, Commander Bai."
Bai Xun put aside his thoughts and replied in a calm tone, "Let's talk in your store."
"I don't trust people with authority. They have too much pride. How do I trust that you won't attack me as soon as I come out of this?" Mark didn't hesitate to voice out his suspicion. Even in everyone's eyes, he's not a Spirit Warrior and is depending on the Battle Tank and the store. So, he won't mind if people think he's too cautious or worse, a coward.
"I'm the Commander of the Imperial Army of Phoenix Empire. I don't need to use trickery or permission. If I want to kill, then, I will kill regardless of their identity." Bai Xun felt a little bit humiliated when Mark rejected his goodwill. He further gave a warning, "This piece of metal won't protect you if I take the action."
However, Mark seemed unafraid, "really? Then, try it. Before you kill me, I'll send everyone here standing before me to the afterlife."
With the peak strength potion in his hands, Mark was full of confidence.
Earlier, he was just reluctant because he knew that this commander can kill him before he even tries to drink the potion. However, inside the Tank, Mark will get enough time to drink it before Bai Xun makes a hole into the Tank. He also confirmed with the system that he will gain enough stat-boost to contest or might even overpower this Commander.
"You…" Bai Xun got angered naturally. How dare a commoner speaks in such a tone against him? "Impudence."
As he clenched his fist, Song Yue grabbed his arm, "Uncle Bai…"
He looks at her. She shakes her head with a worried look. It was unclear who she was concerned for, Mark, Bai Xun, the soldiers, or the residents who locked themselves in their homes.
