Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss Volume 15

by North Night (夜北)

  “Useless trash! Just a bunch of good for nothings!” The City Lord’s good mood immediately dissipated into the wind like smoke. He did not care about Liu Er’s death itself. What frustrated him was what was happening in the city’s north now. If he was not able to drive those refugees out of those lofts in the city’s north, the revered one would surely place the blame on him.

  “Do it right now! Go get them ready for me immediately! Gather up a troop of the city’s soldiers and follow me to the city’s north! I would really like to see just who it is that dares to be so atrocious within the Clear Breeze City!” The City Lord screamed out in rage. He could afford to not bother with it if this had been any other matter, but when it implicated the interests of the revered one, even he would not be able to answer for it. At that moment, he could no longer make himself continue to remain on his seat!

  Chapter 1442: “Knocking on Death’s Door Again (2)”

  Very soon, the big bellied City Lord with his wide girth was leading a troop of soldiers, marching aggressively towards the city’s north. This was his first time coming here and when he saw the row after row of loft units, the itch in his heart was hard to contain, but he knew he had to get rid of those refugees first.

  When the refugees suddenly heard that the City Lord had lead a large troop of soldiers to come here at the city’s north, everybody’s faces lit up with delight. No matter what kind of living conditions they had been made to survive under before, their hearts still felt that the City Lord of the Clear Breeze City who had been willing to offer shelter to them was a kind hearted man who loved the people. Even seeing the large troop of soldiers he had lead to this place, they were all not feeling the least bit nervous.

  “The City Lord has come! The City Lord must have come here because of the incident from before!”

  The City Lord is a kind man. If he knew that thugs were terrorizing the common citizens, he will surely stand up for them in justice!”

  After having witnessed with their own eyes a bout of bloody massacre, the refugees who still held terror within their hearts were actually feeling a sense of relief when they saw the City Lord appear, all of them rushing forward one by one, their mouth full of praise for the City Lord.

  The City Lord fought hard to maintain an amicable smile upon his face, his heart filled with hatred and disgust towards the refugees surging up to surround him. When he thought of the fact that these parasites were occupying such a nice place which impeded him from making a good sum of money, he wished so much that he could just order the soldiers to stab all these pieces of trash to death!

  His heart cursing for all the refugees to just die and get themselves quickly reincarnated, but in order for him to continue to portray an image of benevolence, the City Lord forced his face to show a kindly and smiling mask, doing his best to use a amiable tone of voice to speak.

  “All of you have suffered over this period. Although the CLear Breeze City is not really a highly prosperous city, but as long as I am here, I will not let all of you here suffer atrocities to be done upon you! Today, I heard that someone came here to create trouble which made me very angry. Although all of you are not original residents born and bred here in the Clear Breeze City, but from the very day all of you set foot into the Clear Breeze City, I have already regarded you as a member of us here. If anyone dares to bully any of you, I will surely seek for justice on your behalf!” The City Lord said firmly, looking like a strict and impartial official, his words sounding very pretty to hear.

  The refugees who had all already been grateful to the City Lord immediately broke out in a appreciative show of gratitude.

  “My Lord, you can rest assured. Those thugs have already been dealt with cleanly!” Someone said gleefully, never noticing the vicious glint that flashed very briefly within the City Lord’s eyes.

  The City Lord sneered in his heart, but his face showed an expression of delight. “Oh? Already dealt with? I had just received the news that several highly tyrannical and rowdy brutes were here terrorizing the citizens and I had immediately brought my men here to arrest all of them to throw them in jail. I would never have expected that all of you would be able to react so quickly but I am now relieved. I hope none of you got hurt?”

  The refugees fell over themselves trying to give their account of the nefarious deeds the thugs had done to the City Lord but when they spoke about what happened to the elderly lady with her grandchild and the woman with her son, their faces showed traces of guilty embarrassment and unease.

  “Don’t worry my Lord, the matter has been resolved and Young Master Jun has also sent people to give the old lady treatment for her injuries.”

  The City Lord smiled as he nodded, and his words took a sudden turn as he asked: “I wonder who lent a hand to resolve the matter? Such matters are actually my responsibility as the City Lord to prevent and I have failed by not resolving it in a timely fashion. Hence, I would like to personally thank the person who had so selflessly helped all of you.”

  Upon hearing the City Lord’s words, two of the refugees were just about to open their mouths to speak but they felt a tugging upon their clothes from the other people behind them and they immediately clamped their mouths shut, none of them daring to reveal the slightest clue about the real culprit behind the killing of Liu Er.

  Chapter 1443: “Knocking on Death’s Door Again (3)”

  The refugees’ strange behaviour very quickly attracted the City Lord’s notice and he cursed secretly in his heart, though his face maintained that same gentle smile.

  “What’s wrong? Is there anything that’s inconvenient for you to say? All of you can rest assured that I just want to thank that hero properly myself. All of you are people that I allowed to come into this city and I will naturally not allow anyone to bully any of you as you are all now also considered to be citizens of my Clear Breeze City as well. Since that person had been able to protect all of you, he had also helped eased another one of my worries, hence, I will not do anything to make things difficult for him.” The City Lord said highly movingly, and the hesitant refugees began to show signs of relenting.

  Several of the refugees buzzed among themselves in a bunch for a long while. The City Lord’s words sounded highly reasonable. The fact that they had been able to come into the city to seek refuge was due to the City Lord’s benevolence who had been willing to offer help to a bunch of refugees like them who had nothing on them, so he could not be a bad person.

  “Regarding that….. My Lord….. That benefactor had taken the lives of people….. But….. But he is still a benefactor to all of us. If not for him, none of them would have been able to live in a place like this today. Will….. will you….. because he killed someone….. place blame upon him?” A refugee bolstered up his courage to ask.

  The City Lord laughed coldly inside his heart as he knew he had managed to find a crack among these people. His smile grew deeper and in his most amiable tone, he said: “Why would I! ? He punished evil and helped the kind, it is something that is highly commendable instead, why would I make things difficult for him? I can’t wait to thank him instead!”

  As expected, once the City Lord said that, those refugees who had been rather nervous immediately heaved a sigh in relief and turned to look at each other all around. Finally relaxing their guard, they began to reveal the truth to the City Lord.

  And just as the City Lord was secretly smiling to himself in glee for having been able to pry open the mouths of their refugees, a woman leading a child stared coldly at the City Lord who was tightly surrounded by refugees. Her face still had wounds on it and she was that mother that Jun Wu Xie had previously saved.

  At that moment, anxiety appeared upon her face. She looked all around her and grasping her child’s hand tightly, she quickly sped off towards the individual loft unit separated from the rest!

  Ye Jie she sat in the hall upon the first floor, bored to tears as she plopped herself over th
e table, teasing the Hell Rodent nibbling upon a peanut when she suddenly saw the highly flustered woman barging in. She stood up suddenly and blocked herself before the mother and child.

  “This place does not allow just anyone to enter!” Ye Jie said with a frown upon her face.

  The woman stared in surprise at the little girl wearing a half faced mask before her eyes but could not afford the time to determine the girl’s identity. She knew very well that the loft their benefactor resided in did not normally allow anyone in and the refugees had all always conscientiously kept their distance from here to not disturb, but…..

  “This young lady, I have something very urgent to see Young Master Jun about!” The woman said, her face highly anxious.

  Ye Jie instead replied while looking rather perplexed: “Young Master Jun has said that without his permission, no one is to disturb him.” Ye Jie was being extraordinarily stubborn. For someone who was able to remain within a sealed up tomb for close to a thousand years to guard her Lord’s slumber, her thoroughness in carrying out her orders was to be expected.

  The woman was unable to convince Ye Jie and no matter what she said, she was unable to get through to Ye Jie, driving her into a greater state of panic. Left without any other choice, she fell to her knees with a loud thud before Ye Jie which frightened so badly the innocent little girl stood there completely stunned.

  “Young lady, I really hold no bad intentions. If you do not allow me in, it’s alright. But you must definitely bring this news I have to Young Master Jun.” The woman said anxiously.

  Chapter 1444: “Knocking on Death’s Door Again (4)”

  “Stand….. Stand up to talk…..” Ye Jie was rather flustered.

  The woman however just went on to say: “The Lord of the Clear Breeze City brought a troop of soldiers here and is now asking everyone about the incident today. The City Lord is not really a kind person and I beg for Young Master Jun to be careful against him!”

  “Huh?” Ye Jie was getting confused.

  The woman thought that the little girl did not believe her words and her face became red from anxiety as she explained in a panic: “On the surface, the Lord of the Clear Breeze City portrays himself to be a good person. But If he did care for the refugees, why would he let all the refugees to be cooped up in such a dirty place? He came here with his soldiers today saying that it’s to capture the thugs but this is the Clear Breeze City right! ? He is the Lord of the Clear Breeze City! It is impossible that he should be finding the circumstances strange only at this point. The only thing that he is concerned about finding out is the person who killed those thugs, that shows that there is something fishy!”

  “The people here were being highly naive and they should have told him that it was Young Master Jun who struck those men. Young Master Jun had been forced to strike in order to save me and my child and he is a great benefactor to both of us. I beg that the young lady will bring these words to Young Master Jun!” Finishing her words, the woman kowtowed and hit her head with a loud thud against the ground, no longer persistent on intruding as she led her child away.

  Till after the mother and child pair had left, Ye Jie was still standing there blankly, her mind a gooey whirl.

  If the woman had known that Ye Jie had a serious problem in expressing herself in words, she would definitely not dare to ask Ye Jie to convey her words to Jun Wu Xie.

  “It’s her…..” A soft voice suddenly sounded from the stairs and Ye Jie looked up in confusion, to see Jun Wu Xie standing upon the steps with Jun Wu Yao behind her.

  “Arh!” Ye Jie opened her mouth, wanting to tell the words the woman had said to Jun Wu Xie. She knew exactly what she wanted to say in her heart but when the words reached her mouth, she did not know where to start from.

  “I heard everything,” Jun Wu Xie said, seeing how difficult it was for Ye Jie.

  Ye Jie looked at her blankly for a moment before she revealed a brilliant smile at her.

  “That mother and child pair, if my memory serves me correctly, should be the ones that you saved earlier?” Jun Wu Yao said with a very faint smile, leaning easily with an arm resting against the railing in the stairs.

  Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly.

  “That’s a smarter one at least, knowing to reciprocate.” Jun Wu Yao was highly satisfied with that woman’s reaction.

  Jun Wu Xie did not respond. She had never expected anything in return from all these people and that woman’s reaction had surprised her greatly. She knew that the Lord of the Clear Breeze City wore a hypocritical mask of kindness but the refugees did not know anything about it. But that woman had been able to detect the City Lord’s duplicitous nature from among all the fine details and come here at the first instance to tell her about it. All other things aside, at least that mind of hers was a lot clearer than all the others, and she knew to repay benevolence shown to her.

  “The rats are becoming unsettled and are coming out in waves. So, has Little Xie already thought of how you are going to deal with them?” Jun Wu Yao asked smilingly.

  Jun Wu Xie said expressionlessly: “I want to grab the viper at the head. These people are not my target.” Regardless whether it was the thugs or the City Lord, even Luo Xi would also be beneath her notice. She was doing all this only to force the mastermind behind to show himself.

  And judging from the current situation, they seemed like they were getting rather anxious. Just within a single day today, they had repeatedly come here to seek death and such reactions made Jun Wu Xie feel rather satisfied.

  “I’ll go take a look first.” Jun Wu Xie said as she patted Jun Wu Yao on the back of his hand, indicating that he need not show himself, before walking out from the loft on her own to make her way towards the City Lord who was surrounded by the crowd of refugees.

  Volume 15

  Chapter 1445: “Inverting the Truth and Falsehood (1)”

  Jun Wu Xie’s arrival attracted the notice of the people and when several of the refugees saw the figure of Jun Wu Xie appear, their hearts were slightly startled. Although filled with respected, their eyes could not help but show a sliver of fear.

  The might of Jun Wu Xie’s Purple Spirit and witnessing that bloody slaughter from before had left an indelible impression upon the hearts of the refugees. Although they were grateful towards Jun Wu Xie for the kindness and righteousness shown for being willing to take them in, but to common citizens like them, the scene they witnessed had been a little too much to bear. At the same time that it had dealt with the thugs, it had also caused them to involuntarily develop a sense of fear and wariness towards Jun Wu Xie.

  The City Lord had just finished hearing out the refugees when he suddenly saw a youth with delicate features walking over in approach. When all the gazes of the refugees turned to focus upon that figure, he was able to instantly determine the other party’s identity.

  And right at the moment he became certain of Jun Wu Xie’s identity, his eyes suddenly flashed with malice!

  “You are Young Master Jun?” The City Lord suddenly broke into a smile, looking at the cold faced Jun Wu Xie.

  “What is it?” Jun Wu Xie replied coldly as she looked at the brilliantly smiling City Lord.

  “I am the Lord of the Clear Breeze City and this is Young Master Jun’s first time here to the Clear Breeze City and it is said that people come from afar are all deemed as guests. I had heard from all these people here earlier that when those thugs came here to stir up trouble earlier, they were fortunate to have righteous Young Master Jun lending them a hand to kill off every single one of those thugs. Heroes indeed rise out from the young. Can I ask if what all these people said is true?” The City Lord asked, his face looking like he was filled with admiration for Jun Wu Xie.

  Jun Wu Xie’s eyes were chilly as she watched the City Lord’s hypocritical expression on her face as she said: “So what if it is? And what if it’s not?”

  The City Lord smiled and replied: “It’s nothing much really, but
I am just moved by Young Master Jun’s sense of justice. But there is one thing that I do not really understand and I might need Young Master Jun to explain it to me a little.”

  “What?” Jun Wu Xie’s face was still as cold as ever.

  The City Lord’s face was smiling but in his heart, he was cursing Jun Wu Xie a million and one times but did not dare to show his disdain in the slightest. The refugees had told him earlier that Jun Wu Xie had killed Liu Er and his men and although Liu Er’s powers were not really that great with his bunch of underlings holding rather insignificant powers as well, but they had the strength of numbers. The refugees told him that Jun Wu Xie had massacred the whole lot of them by his own strength alone and such dominating power caused the City Lord have no choice but to tread carefully. But as none of the refugees had been willing to reveal the extent of Jun Wu Xie’s true power, the City Lord was unable to determine just how strong Jun Wu Xie really was and he was guessing that it would roughly be at the yellow spirit level.

  I heard that these lofts here were built by Young Master Jun as well? May I also ask if that is true?”

  Jun Wu Xie swept her gaze over the City Lord’s face that was so fat and pudgy. “Yes.”

  The City Lord laughed in spite of himself and shook his head as he said: “Young Master Jun is highly righteous and that is highly admirable. But I really cannot for the world understand this. With Young Master still so young and highly talented, why do you persist in pursuing such insubstantial fame, to usurp the homes of others, a dove in a magpie’s nest, that is not an act befitting of a gentleman!”
