As the words "Golden Armored Guard" emerged, the originally murderous Ghost Market guards, who had seen Li Guanyi draw his sword, displayed a clear sense of trepidation in their eyes. The term "Golden Armored Guard" represented the powerful families and those who were not to be trifled with.
Suddenly, laughter rang out.
“Everyone, hold on, hold on, put away your swords.”
“Such authority, General!”
A man in his thirties, dressed in a scholar's long robe, approached with a smile on his face. He pushed aside the guards who had drawn their weapons and, from a distance, clasped his hands in greeting, saying, “I come to apologize, to apologize. Is it that our respect was insufficient?”
“It was indeed rude, indeed rude.”
He pulled out a large bag and handed it to Li Guanyi, lowering his voice as he kicked the corpse of a nearby person, skillfully saying, “This blind fool has offended the General; he deserves to die. Take this gold as compensation for today’s offense to your eyes.”
“I know you have a kind heart; you can take these people away.”
