Chapter 174 - Give Xu Yangyi a Dig


    The trantor''s hands quivered as he wiped his flushed cheeks. Only upon seeing the crimson blood on his palms did he muster the courage to acknowledge the recent events.


    Blood… Blood, it was no jest. This is exceedingly perilous! Who is he? How dare he assault us?


    The trantor trembled in ce. At this juncture, he observed that Xu Yangyi wasn''t d in military attire. Moreover, despite the fear evident among the soldiers when he attacked, none moved to apprehend him.


    Could this youth boast formidable backing? The trantor''s heart skipped a beat.


    On Senior Colonel''s side, though unable toprehend Xu Yangyi''s words, the intensity of his presence startled him. Witnessing Xu Yangyi''s piercing gaze, it evoked memories of Hee Jingyan. A shiver ran down his spine.


    While Hee Jingyan''s rank wasn''t on par with Senior Colonel''s, as a senior colonel from another nation, in a nationcking such rank, Hee Jingyan''s standing equated to Senior Colonel''s. None surpassed him in status.


    Hee Jingyan wasn''t merely renowned domestically; he was an adept troop leader and a Colonel of indomitable strength. Many overseas adversaries surrendered beforebat, for Hee Jingyan was dubbed the Reaper of Battlefields, undefeated. Engaging Hee Jingyan''s forces meant an eighty percent casualty rate.


    With such formidable might, it seemed inconceivable that Hee Jingyan held only the rank of colonel. Yet, none dared to probe deeply.


    Nan Xiao, previously aposed spectator, felt perturbed. He hadn''t anticipated Xu Yangyi''s audacity in opposing Senior Colonel.


    Was Xu Yangyi acting irrationally? Should a confrontation with Senior Colonel arise here, it might escte into a conflict between nations. Such an oue could implicate and result in punishment for Hee Jingyan by his superiors.


    Fearing the repercussions on Hee Jingyan, Nan Xiao fretted. Yet, a sudden realization struck him.


    Indeed! Isn''t this advantageous? I''ve achieved more than half of my mission. Initially, my aim was to secure Hee Jingyan, and now presents a prime opportunity.


    Don''t me me, Hee Jingyan. You were the one who overlooked me, so don''t fault me for my present discourtesy.


    They say love can breed animosity. It seems to hold true.


    “Xu Yangyi, how dare you show disrespect to Senior Colonel. Do youprehend the gravity of the situation? This pertains to two nations, not solely your discretion.”


    Nan Xiao suddenly berated Xu Yangyi, then turned to the soldier nearby. “Quickly, have your sister-inw offer an apology to Senior Colonel. Why are you standing there foolishly? Do you wish to witness a war between nations?”


    His words shocked the soldiers; this was an international issue! Negligence leading to war between nations would bear immense consequences.


    Nan Xiao''s motive behind this action was to trap Xu Yangyi. Aware of Xu Yangyi''s temperament, an apology to Senior Colonel seemed improbable.


    Thus, Nan Xiao aimed to stoke Xu Yangyi''s ire further, rendering the situation unmanageable. If war ensued, he could reap the benefits.


    Xu Yangyi, let''s see how chaotic you can make this! Bring it on!


    Nan Xiao sneered inwardly, resuming his facade of enjoying the spectacle.
