Chapter 415: The Brawl Incident (1)
The brawl incident was of considerable importance.
To be safe, Luo Jin dared not show a moment’s neglect.
He felt uneasy about sending anyone else, so he decided to personally undertake the investigation to clarify the entire situation.
With the Mirror Division Commander personally taking charge, the full force of the Mirror Division was mobilized to investigate the brawl in Azure Water Lake Fishing Village.
Unraveling such a minor affair thoroughly was, for them, effortless.
By the 4th day, a complete case report had already reached Luo Ji.
Meanwhile, in the village chief’s residence in Azure Water Fishing Village, Sun Mingrui, paced anxiously around his room.
His entire demeanor showed considerable distress.
4 days had passed since he sent the report to Mirror City.
The longer the time stretched, the more intense his fear became.
Having been unable to sleep at all last night, his eyes were now bloodshot.
“Brother, it’s been 3 days now. Besides sending a team to stabilize the situation, why hasn’t there been any other movement from the Imperial City?”
The man seated on a chair in the room was Sun Mingrui’s younger brother, Sun Peng.
Watching Sun Mingrui pace back and forth, making him feel dizzy, Sun Peng casually asked the question, unexpectedly stepping directly onto Sun Mingrui’s landmine.
“Shut up! You good-for-nothing! Who do you think caused this? If you’re selling fish, just sell fish! Why provoke that Kobold?! And even if you did, you called a whole group of people to blow the matter up, even causing a death! Now I can’t even suppress it!”
Sun Mingrui’s emotions grew more out of control with every word.
By the end, seeing Sun Peng sitting there, he felt a surge of uncontrollable anger.
He then directly raised his leg and kicked his useless brother, chair and all, to the ground.
As the elder brother, he was like a father to Sun Peng.
Their parents had died early, and Sun Mingrui had raised him single-handedly.
Seeing his elder brother genuinely enraged, Sun Peng immediately shrank his head back, crying out in pain.
“Ow, ow, ow! Brother, my wound, I’m sorry, please don’t hit me, you’re hitting my wound, hitting my wound!”
As Sun Peng cried out, he desperately held up the hand wrapped in countless layers of bandages, waving it constantly in Sun Mingrui’s line of sight.
Though they had superior numbers, beastmen’s physiques were far superior to ordinary human soldiers, let alone common folk like Zhang Peng, who hadn’t received any military training.
The injury on his hand was from being scratched by the Kobold’s claws during the brawl.
However, among the large group, he was considered to have sustained relatively minor injuries.
Compared to him, his other few lackeys were more seriously wounded, with one even having his throat torn on the spot, resulting in death.
Listening to Sun Peng’s cries and seeing the wound on his brother’s hand, even knowing the worthless fellow was deliberately feigning distress, a flicker of unwillingness still crossed Sun Mingrui’s eyes.
He then let out a heavy sigh, ultimately unable to bring himself to strike.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a dull “thud” sounded.
The tightly shut door of the village chief’s residence was violently kicked open!
Sun Peng, who had just managed to escape his elder brother’s beating by feigning distress and was about to get up from the ground, was nearly startled back down by the commotion.
For a moment, barely steadying himself, he was overcome with exasperation.
He immediately shouted.
“Are you blind, you dogs? Do you know where this is? I…”
However, before he could finish, Sun Mingrui, seeing the attire of the newcomers, furiously slapped his brother Sun Peng across the face.
“You good-for-nothing! Shut your mouth right now!”
Sun Peng was clearly stunned by the blow.
Since childhood, whenever his elder brother disciplined him, it was always more bark than bite.
Every time he cried in distress, his brother would relent.
If he were to count on his fingers, Sun Mingrui had never truly struck him hard more than a few times.
But this time, the slap was real, instantly swelling his face.
For a moment, Sun Peng remained stunned, but once he regained his senses, anger flared within him.
Yet, before he could react further, his elder brother, who had just slapped him, suddenly dropped to his knees with a dull thud.
“My foolish younger brother doesn’t understand. We didn’t realize it was the esteemed Lords of the Mirror Division arriving. He has offended you; please forgive him!”
At this, Sun Peng was utterly dumbfounded.
What was the Mirror Division? Who in Myriad World Civilization didn’t know?
It was a special organization directly under His Majesty the Emperor, and their standard attire was water-cloud black robes with bronze longswords at their waists.
Furthermore, there were rumors circulating among the populace that the Mirror Division’s interrogation chambers were equipped with all 18 types of torture instruments, and those taken in would either die or be peeled of a layer of skin.
It had been dark, preventing him from seeing clearly at first glance.
Now, recalling his earlier words and connecting them to those rumors, Sun Peng instantly turned pale with fear.
His legs trembled, and he collapsed directly to the ground, utterly terrified.
Looking at Sun Mingrui kneeling on the ground and Sun Peng paralyzed with fear, the leading man in the water-cloud black robe expressionlessly pulled out the Mirror Division’s token from his embrace.
“The Mirror Division Enforcement Team is conducting an investigation. Sun Mingrui, village chief of Azure Water Fishing Village, and his brother Sun Peng, come with us.”
As he spoke, the man waved his hand, and the enforcement team members behind him swiftly stepped forward, preparing to take Sun Mingrui and Sun Peng away.
However, as the enforcement team members approached step by step, Sun Peng’s terror intensified.
Finally, he directly slapped away the outstretched hand.
“No, no! I don’t want to be taken to the Mirror Division! I don’t want to be taken to the Mirror Division!!”
Amidst his shouts, Sun Peng’s gaze swept to the nearby window.
He then surprisingly leaped, smashing through the window, and escaped.
“Come back! Come back now!!”
Sun Mingrui’s face also turned ashen as he watched this unfold.
Resisting arrest and attempting to flee meant additional charges!
How easy was it to escape from under the nose of the Mirror Division’s enforcement team?
Sure enough, even as Sun Mingrui’s thoughts raced, the fleeing Sun Peng was forcibly knocked unconscious and brought back by the Mirror Division.
Now, the Mirror Division’s enforcement team taking away Sun Mingrui and Sun Peng undoubtedly drew the attention of the entire Azure Water Lake Fishing Village.
In an instant, centered around that brawl, the entire incident rapidly spread throughout the surrounding area, becoming a significant topic of conversation for countless people after their meals.
