Chapter 501: Beauty's Struggle [Additional Chapter for Silver Alliance's Eldest Young Master]

Amidst the chilling wind, Fang Che's voice rang out, "Executioners, take your positions!"

Twenty-two executioners stepped forward simultaneously, carrying their blades and assuming their respective positions.

Fang Che then turned towards the high platform and cupped his hands in salute, "Please, High Commissioner, give your instructions."

Zhao Shanhe's expression turned solemn as he raised the command token in his hand.

The token, reflecting the sunlight, refracted countless golden rays.

"Execute!"

With this command, the executioners sprayed strong liquor onto their blades, and twenty-two large swords were raised simultaneously.

The blades shimmered in the sunlight.

Fang Che shouted, "The heavens have eyes, and the wronged souls will not wander far! Today's justice will bring you fairness! Watch and wait! On the path to the underworld, seek revenge for your grudges and settle your grievances!"

"Kill!"

At this command, the twenty-two large swords descended together.

Pfft!

The flash of blades and the surge of blood!

A single stroke, and the heads were severed!

As the twenty-two heads hit the ground, blood spurted into the air for an instant.

The chilling wind in the air suddenly intensified, whistling endlessly and blowing towards the distant horizon.

After this gust of wind, the sky became clear and calm, not a breeze in sight.

Around the square, the flags that had been fluttering fiercely in the wind suddenly drooped like dead fish, motionless.

The twenty-two heads rolled on the ground, and blood continued to flow from their headless necks, meandering across the ground.

The stench of blood filled the air.

Countless onlookers witnessed that the blood of such people was also red.

Numerous people wept, their faces streaming with tears as they knelt on the ground.

"My child, may you rest in peace," they murmured.

"My wife, we've avenged you... Don't worry anymore."

"Her mother... Did you see it? Our enemies are dead, and we've taken revenge... I don't know if you're down there, but have you reunited with our child first... I'll wait a little longer, to see if I can find her. If I can't find her this time, I'll come to join you. This mortal world is too bitter, and I don't want to stay here any longer..."

"Her father... Did you see it?"

Countless incense candles were suddenly lit, and the entire square was enveloped in smoke, obscuring the sky.

Sobs filled the air.

"I have something to tell everyone. The case is still under investigation. The first batch of one thousand five hundred girls can now be claimed."

Fang Che announced loudly, "Everyone can go to the Guardian Palace to wait."

"Furthermore, starting today, executions will take place on this ground every day, until all the villains are eliminated!"

"We will not accept any pleas or show any leniency, and we will accept all revenge!"

Fang Che's voice was like metal and stone, "We brothers, having taken on this case, will see it through to the end!"

"I am Fang Che, this is Dong Yun Yu, this is Feng Xiang Dong, and this is Qiu Yun Shang!"

"There are four other brothers who have left to handle other cases. We are Patrol Team Six!"

"We will investigate all injustices, trample on all evil, and accept all revenge!"

...

Upon returning to their own conference room in the Patrol Hall, Dong Yun Yu, Qiu Yun Shang, and Feng Xiang Dong were still brimming with excitement, their faces flushed.

"I feel like my entire life has gained meaning!" Dong Yun Yu exclaimed.

"Right now, I feel like my blood is boiling inside me..." Feng Xiang Dong added, his body trembling with emotion.

"You have no idea," Feng Xiang Dong said, his body shaking with excitement. "When I was walking with the boss, every hair on my body was trembling! I had to force myself to hold it in, or I would have convulsed right there..."

"Me too, me too..." Qiu Yun Shang echoed.

Qiu Yun Shang held his teacup, his hand shaking so much that his teeth clinked against the cup, "Clink, clink, clink..."

Fang Che furrowed his brows, sitting in his chair and observing the three of them, "Why are you so excited?"

"How can we not be excited?" Dong Yun Yu asked.

Fang Che sighed, "But this excitement comes at the cost of the lifelong agony of tens of thousands of households, perhaps even hundreds of thousands... Thinking of this, how can I still feel excited?"

At this point, he heaved a deep sigh and said, "Do you really think that all the missing women were the doing of the Black Tiger Gang? In this mortal world, who knows how many such evil deeds exist?"

"In the future, we don't know how many inhuman scum we'll have to face."

"And those so-called officials who claim, 'I didn't do anything wrong, I just went there to play'... Thinking of them, my heart feels stifled. How can I still feel excited?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the three of them.

Instantly, their trembling stopped.

Recalling the square filled with people, their eyes and expressions filled with hope, longing, despair, pain, and numbness, the three of them suddenly felt as if a mountain had been placed on their hearts.

It was heavy, almost suffocating.

Feng Xiang Dong clenched his teeth and said, "Boss, what were those officials, wealthy families, and even the protectors who claimed they 'just went there to play' thinking? How could humans do such things?"

"This is actually quite normal."

Fang Che sighed, "Let me tell you, this kind of... we've only discovered it now, and it was in broad daylight, in front of so many people... So, we had to take action!"

The three of them were stunned, "Boss, what do you mean?

"Are we supposed to let these kinds of people off the hook and allow them to breed more evil in the future?"

"That's not what I meant."

Fang Che sighed deeply, "The situation is not as simple as we thought. This time, it erupted suddenly, and even if we try to cover it up, we can't. That's why these people must die! And they must be executed in public to serve as a warning to the world!"

"But in the future, to be blunt... there are plenty of people like this. And just as those three elders said, they have all made outstanding contributions. They have fought and killed countless times."

Fang Che spoke with difficulty, carefully choosing his words, "Even if we have to kill in the future, it should be handled internally by the Guardian, and we can't do it like this in front of the world. Because... although it's satisfying to see justice served, if we kill too many, it will cause the people of the world to lose faith in the Guardian."

"They will think: 'You guys in the Guardian aren't any better.'"

"That would be bad, right?"

Dong Yun Yu and the other two suddenly realized the issue.

Indeed, this was a huge problem concerning human nature and morality.

All three of them had the same thought: 'No wonder Fang Che is the boss.'

Fang Che said, "There's also another point... how should I put it, I'm not sure how to phrase it."

Feng Xiang Dong pondered, "Do you also feel that the punishment is too severe, Boss Fang?"

Fang Che replied, "If we only consider this incident, the punishment isn't severe. Because this is the territory of the Black Tiger Gang and the Only Righteous Sect. They knew that many women had gone missing without reason, yet they still went there as if nothing was wrong. They knew they were dealing with innocent maidens, yet they still went... That's unforgivable. For these twenty-two people today, the death penalty isn't severe; they deserve to die!"

"I'm talking about the future, when the Guardian encounters less severe issues."

"Boss, please elaborate."

"Hmm... let me put it this way, I also said today that once people start indulging and falling into depravity, there's no turning back. This is human nature, and it's also reality."

Fang Che thought deeply, "But we also need to consider this... is it really the case that the Guardian, the Protectors, can't enjoy anything? Can't they have even a little? Do they have to constantly fight for their lives, always facing life and death situations? That can't be right, can it?"

All three of them fell into deep thought.

"Just as they said: generation after generation, we've spent our entire lives on the battlefield, protecting the continent. We've shed the blood of countless generations. In our normal lives, what's wrong with enjoying ourselves a little?"

Fang Che said, "You can't say that his words are unreasonable, can you?"

"But the kind of enjoyment that ordinary people seek can't satisfy these people. And extraordinary enjoyment often means breaking the rules."

"In this regard, in the future, we'll need to be more flexible... or rather, handle it internally."

Fang Che smiled bitterly, "Although I don't want to, but... even the chickens of commoners are treated differently. Those that lay more eggs are fed better and protected, while those that don't lay eggs are slaughtered for meat. Some egg-laying hens can even outlive several other chickens."

"You can't just slaughter the chicken that lays more eggs just because it's well-fed, can you?"

The three of them couldn't help but smile.

Although the analogy was very down-to-earth, it made sense.

Dong Yun Yu laughed, "But even these egg-laying chickens will eventually grow old and stop laying eggs. When that time comes, they can't avoid the butcher's knife."

Suddenly, Fang Che felt a surge of anger.

Damn it, I'm trying to make a point, and you come up with this 'birds gone, arrows stored; rabbits dead, dogs cooked' analogy.

"Shut up!" Fang Che glared at him.

Feng Xiang Dong and Qiu Yun Shang burst into laughter and rolled on the ground.

They all felt that Dong Yun Yu was truly an interesting fellow.

"Can people be compared to chickens?" Fang Che glared at him.

"That's what you said," Dong Yun Yu shouted fearlessly.

"Say that again."

Fang Che's hand rested on his sword hilt, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Dong Yun Yu shrank his neck and fell silent.

"But in the future... our group will probably be lonely."

Fang Che sighed and said, "Don't be fooled by the adoration of the people. Within the Guardian... we've already been labeled as unpopular."

Dong Yun Yu said, "That can't be. When we left, I saw that they were all very polite."

"Hmph... the more polite they are, the more they dislike you."

Fang Che coldly smiled, "After all, no one wants to be around an impartial and just judge, not even a sage."

"Just wait and see... in the future, you'll be praised wherever you go, but beyond the praise, there will be nothing else... Even if we have no guilty conscience, people will still respect us from a distance..."

Fang Che chuckled.

Feng Xiang Dong smiled and said, "That's fine. We became Guardians not to make friends."

Dong Yun Yu said, "The more friends, the merrier. Otherwise, we won't even have anyone to fight with."

Fang Che, Qiu Yun Shang, and Feng Xiang Dong looked at Dong Yun Yu with distorted expressions, then collectively stood up and silently walked out.

They really didn't want to deal with this jerk.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, Dong Yun Yu rushed over like the wind, "Are you guys planning to leave me behind and go have fun?"

"Damn you! Let's go see the interrogation!"

Fang Che said angrily, "I can personally take charge of the interrogation!"

"Let's go! I can take charge of the interrogation myself!"

Dong Yun yu was instantly invigorated.

The three of them shivered, and they walked quickly.

Thinking of the previous day when Dong Yun Yu had guided the snakes into the holes with such a sleazy move, it was simply unbearable to watch.

But it had to be said that this scoundrel's trick worked, and after passing through his hands, they were indeed honest.

Upon reaching the interrogation room, as Fang Che had said, the effect was already visible.

All the guards saw the four of them with smiles on their faces, treating them as courteously as if they were the Plague.

The four of them did not pay attention to it and immediately began working.

Then they started to announce the death sentences of those who had been interrogated, all to be executed the next day.

"How many can be executed tomorrow?" Fang Che asked.

"Fang captain, with such a pace, we should be able to complete the interrogation of over a thousand people by tomorrow. We should be able to get nothing of value from them."

"Then, will there be a problem taking them all out?"

"Fang captain, of course, there will be no problem. To serve the people and eliminate the evil, such matters are a joy to the people's."

"Have free time to drink a cup of wine tonight?" Fang Che asked, intentionally.

Sure enough, several people's faces changed dramatically: "Not... Fang... With the busy official work, we shall not bother you..."

No matter who was invited, they all courteously refused.

Dong Yun Yu's faces turned black.

Sure enough, these guys do not give us any face!

The four of them turned around and walked out. After taking a few steps, they heard the sighs of relief from behind.

The meaning was clear.

These four disaster stars have indeed left.

Dong Yun Yu could not help but turn his head at the door: "Fellow colleagues!"

Everyone was taken aback: "What does this guy want to do?"

Only hearing Dong Yun Yu's face was red with anger, he said loudly, "Fellow colleagues, we have all been through life and death with hard work and great achievements, and we all see all these brothers. But since the peak has given us this right, we must not let it be used to constantly deal with such matters."

Everyone's faces changed.

This guy... this is not the right thing to say.

"I have been talking straight all these days. So if I have something to say, I will say it directly."

Dong Yun Yu said calmly, "Well, let's leave it at that. You guys are busy. When you have time, we will go visit each other's homes."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

The hell do we need you to go visiting homes? Do you think you can do it well? We would rather let the yellow rats and wolves visit homes than you!

But how could he say it like that? Did we offend him just now? Yes, we just ignored them and treated them with courtesy from a thousand miles away.

Sure enough, he had been remembered as an enemy.

If he remembered itus, he would directly start investigating us... Who the hell still had the stains on hishis backside?

Everyone stood there like wooden chickens, while Dong Yun Yu laughed and walked away.

"As long as you guys stay upright, there is nothing to fear from shadows! How could you investigate, it would be nothing. Everyone, farewell!"

Dong Yun Yu walked away.

Inside, a group of people blamed each other, "I told you not to be so obvious, you guys. Speak up, each one of you. Did you offend someone? Think about it, did youyouoffend someone?"

The others looked at each other, "Bro, is this really our fault? Is this truly a difficult matter? These few people, we are all together, and we have nothing to do... It's all because others are thinking of us as informers."

"We also know they are truly good people, truly doing things, and they truly have nothing to fear. But think about their background? What is our background? Can we do what they can do? Dare we do what they can do?"

"Go to the battlefield, fight for the Only Righteous Sect. These are not the matters, it's a matter of life. But this internal strife, is it a matter of life? Truly, we do not want to be heroes, nor do we want to be heroes... but to be honest... Elder Brother, we are only suitable to be the kind of heroes who roar and die in battle. But we are not suitable to be the kind of heroes who offend people... We all have families. What about our wives and children?"

Everyone sighed.

Silence.

Yes, since we have become guardians, we are always prepared to sacrifice. In the face of a crisis we cannot pass, we can only fight to the death. But when there is still a glimmer of hope, think of the miserable fate of the family we have lost, and we would not dare to be heroes!"

...

On the other side.

Feng Xiang Dong said to Dong Yun Yu, "What are you scaring them for? We all have our own grievances, we do ours. They do theirs."

Dong Yun Yu muttered, "I just feel a bit uncomfortable, we fight to the death... but they barely look at us straight."

Feng Xiang Dong angrily said, "Do you really think anyone can be a hero? Do you think everyone is like you, the eldest young master of the Dong family?"

Dong Yunyu stubbornly replied, "I don't get any special treatment in the Dong family either!"

Feng Xiang Dong continued, "But no matter how you behave, they don't kick you out. No matter how much trouble you cause, they still treat you as family. They may dislike you, but no one wants you dead. Being born into such a family, a super family, what more could you possibly want?"

Feng Xiang Dong's anger intensified, "You don't know how envious I am of you. If I had done the things you did, even as the family's heir, I would have been banished from the family long ago. And you? As far as I know, your father isn't even the head of the family, is he?"

"You're still not satisfied, huh? You're still angry?"

Feng Xiang Dong didn't hold back and scolded Dong Yunyu.

This time, Dong Yunyu remained silent instead of arguing back.

Thinking about her behavior over the years, her parents' discipline, and how every time she returned home, they would scold her but rarely with harsh words...

She recalled the tears in her father's eyes when Yang Luoyu and the others came to the Dong family, the smile on her mother's face, the pride on her mother's face, and the sense of finally being able to hold their heads high.

As she left, her mother kept checking her luggage, adding things, standing at the door, watching her leave, her figure growing smaller and smaller.

She couldn't help but sigh deeply, saying, "Maybe I've been too willful. Growing up in such comfortable conditions, I didn't learn to be considerate... Oh, thinking about it now, all these years, how much worry I've caused my parents..."

Feng Xiang Dong was relieved, saying, "It's good that you understand."

Dong Yunyu said, "But now I'm fine, and my parents are doing well too. It's you guys who should be worrying them."

Feng Xiang Dong was taken aback, "Us? What about us?"

Qiu Yun Shang also turned in surprise, "What about us?"

Dong Yunyu replied proudly, "When we're together, isn't your family worried? Haha, even if they didn't know me before, now that we're together, they'll definitely inquire about me, Dong Yunyu. How can they not worry? They're concerned that you two will go astray, my little darling."

"Absolutely, they'll be worried sick! Haha... My reputation, Dong Yunyu, is worth inquiring about, right?"

Dong Yunyu continued to be proud.

Qiu Yun Shang and Feng Xiang Dong both glared at her.

Thinking about it, it was indeed true. In recent days, they often received subtle warnings from home, reminding them to uphold the way of the gentleman and not be led astray...

Now, it all made sense.

Going astray, who could they have been led astray by? It couldn't be Elder Fang, right? It must be the person in front of them, whose rumored reputation had spread far and wide, even reaching his own master, earning him the infamous title of the 'Black Ink Sword Saint.'

Feng Xiang Dong glared at Dong Yunyu, "You're still proud?"

"Isn't this something to be proud of?" Feng Xiang Dong looked at Dong Yunyu with a crooked smile.

"I'm saying I'm the best in the world, and no one can compete with me!" Dong Yunyu said proudly.

Feng Xiang Dong and Qiu Yun Shang both nodded with gritted teeth, "Agreed, in this aspect, you're absolutely the best in history, past, and present. But, do you know how many beatings you've received throughout history and the present?"

"Beat him!"

The two of them immediately took action, flipping Dong Yunyu onto the ground.

"From now on, every time I see you, I'll beat you once!"

The two of them made their threats.

"If you're so tough, then beat me!" Dong Yunyu challenged.

"..."

The two of them were completely speechless.

...

Fang Che brought the three of them to the Guardian Palace of Donghu Continent.

Here, a large crowd had already gathered.

Those waiting to pick up their daughters were all present, eagerly anticipating their arrival.

Among the 1,500 women allowed to leave, each of them sobbed uncontrollably in the palace.

However, they were also worried that their broken bodies would bring shame to their families. Each of them was terrified, wanting to rush out regardless of the consequences, yet also not daring to leave...

The girls' hearts shattered like the tears falling to the ground and breaking into pieces.

In their hopelessness, they yearned for hope, longing for their parents. Now... The sun was outside the door, their parents were outside waiting eagerly, but they dared not leave.

What a tormenting situation.

No matter how the people in the Guardian Palace tried to persuade them, the girls curled up, afraid to leave, too ashamed to face the outside world.

Some girls heard voices from outside, perhaps their fathers' voices, perhaps calling their names, but their bodies trembled, and they could only cry, afraid to go out.

Afraid of mishearing, afraid of being pointed at and commented on after leaving, afraid of bringing shame to their parents...

At this moment, a warm voice sounded from outside.

It was that Fang Patrol! Captain Fang!

All the girls' spirits lifted, their tearful eyes widened, and they listened intently.

...
