Two black eyes coolly swept over the group of mercenaries. Aofeng did not respond because she felt that there was nothing to say. If one wanted to condemn someone, they could always find an excuse. These two misses were set in their opinion she was a thief. Everything she said would be wasted of effort.

Lu Lan saw her lack of words and her rage grew. She raised her head in assumed victory. "Since you have admitted it, hand them over to this miss ... ..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard Qiu Ran shout, "Miss, Careful!" which interrupted her words!

A sharp and cold wind headed towards her!

In an instant, Lu Lan and Li Sha who were both rank two professionals felt a feeling as though this was unstoppable. Their minds blanked. Feeling the sharp killing intent, they shuddered in unison. Goosebumps formed all over their skin.

The large man held his broadsword horizontally with a guarded expression. However, the shadow of Aofeng that flashed by and did not head for the two females.

Qiu Ran looked in surprise as the youth flashed behind him. The youth was so fast he couldn't respond in time. He heard several "scrrizt" sounds and three cries of alarm. Three males at the rear of the squad were kicked out of the crowd on the ground and rolled. Two were Wolfpack mercenaries, and the last was one of Li Sha's guards.

The black-robed youth's figure which should have been at the front was no in front of the three with a long black sword in hand as the youth stared at the three men.

"Scoundrel! You dare to attack the Wolf Pack Mercenary Company. I think you do not want to live!" Lu Lan's face flushed red in anger as she stamped her feet. She even forgot her fear.

Aofeng ignored her, and moved the long sword in her hand to flick at the check and pockets of the three people groaning on the ground. Three glowing white crystals landed on the ground. They were a foggy white, a color unique to fog wolves crystal cores.

"The things you wanted!"

As Aofeng's disdainful gaze landed on them, the two females felt extremely embarrassed. Their faces flushed like cooked shrimp. They had righteously accused this person of being a thief but the thieves were actually from their own group. The taste of being slapped loudly on their face was extremely discomforting!

Li Sha bit her lips and forced herself to continue. "No, our guards wouldn't do something like this. It must have been you! You must have shoved these into their clothing ... ..."

"Enough! Miss Li Sha, please pay attention to your reputation. You are a noble, you need to have the mannerisms of nobility. You are refusing to admit a fact which is clear to everyone else? If the Duke or that young castellan learns of this, how will they look at you?" Qiu Ran shouted from the side with a frozen expression. Then he glared at Lu Lan who was about to say something, "Miss Lu Lan, us mercenaries care about honor. If you do not want to make trouble for Big Brother, do not twist the truth."

Li Sha and Lu Lan shook and became silent.

After reprimanding the two females into silence, Qiu Ran looked at the three ashen-faced people on the ground, "The two from the mercenary company, leave the badges of Wolf Pack and leave."

The two didn't dare to breathe loudly. With lowered heads and low spirits, they took off the wolf head insignias on their shoulder and then left. For people who dared to steal spoils and frame others, it was a light punishment to not take their lives. Li Sha turned her head and reprimanded the guard, "You leave as well! This miss does not want to ever see you!"
