Chapter 416: Chapter 416 Six People Died Chapter 416: Chapter 416 Six People Died The men who had mocked the dwarf had hardly finished speaking when they felt a chill on their necks, followed by a slight sting, and reflexively reached to touch it, only to find their hands covered in fresh blood…
“Kacha.”
The few who had been cut were instantly panic-stricken, covering their necks with both hands, their mouths agape as if to shout something.
But at this moment, their throats had been slit by the dwarf, and they couldn’t make a sound at all, only producing a vague, indistinct “kacha kacha” noise.
The other patrons in the hall hadn’t even realized what had happened yet.
They just saw the men who had been loudly mocking the dwarf moments ago suddenly collapse to the ground with a thud. Their bodies convulsed violently a few times and then went still, while an excessive amount of blood gushed from their necks.
All this had happened too suddenly.
No one had expected that this dwarf, less than a meter tall and looking frail, would turn out to be so fierce. At the slightest disagreement, he drew his blade and injured people; moreover, he moved so fast they hadn’t seen clearly how he’d struck. There were now six strong men lying on the ground, each with their throat cut, likely not long for this world.
In an instant, everyone forgot about watching the beautiful dancing women on the stage; they all started scrambling to escape…
“It’s bad! It’s terrible! Someone’s been killed!”
“Murder!”
The cries of alarm were incessant.
The performance on stage came to an abrupt halt.
The Procuress’s attention had been solely on the stage, thinking that since it was the Qinger Building’s first day of opening, she couldn’t let down Xuexue’s trust in her. Thus, she wasn’t aware of what had happened in the hall yet!
“What’s going on? What happened?”
Standing on the stage, she looked down to see the figures of the patrons fleeing in panic.
A thug rushed up in a flurry, reporting anxiously, “Nanny Sun, something terrible has happened; there’s been a murder in our brothel.”
“What?”
Nanny Sun was shocked.
“As many as six people are dead.”
Nanny Sun’s eyes rolled back, her body swayed, and she fainted.
The quick-thinking thug caught her in time.
A few girls hurried over to help, applying medicated oil and pressing her vital points. After a while, she slowly came to…
“Which runt dares cause trouble in our brothel?”
Spoiling the task set by the new Master on the very first day, Nanny Sun, who had been navigating the waters of the brothel for many years, had taken such a big fall for the first time. She had fainted out of sheer anger and frustration, but upon waking, she immediately asked in urgency.
“A dwarf,” the thug quickly answered.
“A dwarf?”
“Yes, a short dwarf less than a meter tall. Not only is he ugly, but he’s also extremely savage. The men he killed had only mocked him, and he slit all of their throats, each one dying from a single slash. Despite his strange appearance, his martial arts are unfathomably deep.”
“Gather all the hands from our brothel and go chop him up to feed the dogs,” the Procuress, though a woman, was a tough enough character to run a brothel in the town and have so many subordinates at her disposal.
“Yes.”
The thug replied and was about to turn around and leave, gathering his men to teach that ignorant dwarf a lesson.
At that moment, sounds of fighting came from the hall below.
The Procuress looked down to see a familiar figure struggling with the dwarf.
“Wait a moment.”
“Nanny Sun, do you have any further instructions?”
“That Master down there is our noble patron. Be careful not to hurt him,” she said.
“Yes.”
“Go,” Nanny Sun waved her hand wearily. She hoped tonight’s events wouldn’t alarm the government office; otherwise, whether the Qinger Building could continue operating was another matter.
