Legend Of Lightning Warriors II: The Eye of the Gods
The Village Chief's Fear
The village chief gasped in shock at what had just happened before his eyes. Never had he seen a little boy who was able to thicken his guards without touching a single bit.
All this time, he had always been proud of his bodyguards. It was evident that during his time in office, no one dared to be insolent to him. Especially when looking for problems like now.
Anyone will obey his words. He had long been the village chief. The old man lived with treasure. But his people live in suffering. Because what should be the right of the people, he swallowed himself along with his colleagues.
Chen Li continued to step his foot forward. The six bodyguards of the village chief no longer dared to do anything stupid. As warriors, they understood very well that this boy had strength far beyond him.
Therefore, the six warriors could only stand on the sidelines with the citizens while enduring the pain.
"You want what you? Closer to one step, I will report you to the government army," the village chief said in fear.
But Chen Li paid him no heed. He continued walking leisurely without hearing what the old man said.
After the distance between the two stayed two and three steps, then Chen Li stopped his steps.
"I warn you once again parents, grant the right that should belong to the people. Give them money and grain. Otherwise, don't blame me for acting a little harshly," Chen Li said coldly.
He hated people like the village chief. If only the old man before him was a swordsman, he would have unsheathed the tip of his sword.
Honey, he's nothing more than an old man who's smelly with dirt. It's just that his ambition to enrich himself does not fade even though his age is that old.
Ambition will always exist in every human being. Before lives are lost, that ambition will remain and may grow over time.
This has become a natural thing. Every human being has ambition. Only, there are two types of humans in this. Is he the one who can control his ambitions, or is he the one who cannot control his ambitions?
The village chief certainly belongs to the second type.
"Who are you really?"
"Margaku Shin, my name is Chen Li," he replied with a stiff tone and facial expression.
The village chief immediately felt like the previous farmers. He felt his entire body suffocate helplessly. Courage disappeared. His cruel face suddenly vanished without a trace.
"Ja-so y-you …"
"Yes, I am the son of Shin Shui, the Thunderbolt Swordsman. Hero of Wei Empire. The second person after Emperor Wei An, I think you've heard about my father, haven't you? Now just choose. You may choose to continue in your post, with the record from now on to be honest. Or you stick to your stance, with your record of office destroyed. And you will not be free from punishment. Please, the choice is in your hands," Chen Li said still with the same expression.
Of course the village chief will choose the first option. Who would want his office destroyed and his life the same? Anyone would not want to.
Only fools would choose the second option.
The coldness had already soaked the entire body of the village chief. He was now bowing respectfully without daring to raise his head.
And so does everyone who is there.
Chen Li revealed who he was with the same purpose as before. Anyway, he's a kid. Not necessarily the village chief actually changed his attitude if he only relied on himself.
But if he mentioned his father's name, surely the old man would no longer dare to make suffering for his people.
Let alone that, if now Chen Li had the village chief decapitate his own head, he was sure that the old man would do it.
Chen Li could not deny that his father was indeed the most feared, respected, and respected figure. He wanted to be like that, more precisely than his father's achievements.
I don't know. What was clear for now was that Chen Li could only try as hard and as hard as he could.
"Sa-I chose the first choice Young master. I promised to carry out the task as it had been set," said the old man in a weak tone and his head bowed.
"Good, then now you tell your men to give me something I asked for before,"
"Bad-good young master,"
The village chief then invited some of his subordinates to do as Chen Li had ordered earlier.
The old man immediately returned with something from his miik Space Cincing. After that he immediately gave gold pieces to the residents complete with humming and other foodstuffs.
"Citizens, sorry if all this time I have been negligent. Another time something like this will never happen again. If it repeats itself, I am ready to receive the appropriate punishment" said the village chief in front of all the residents present there.
Chen Li smiled looking at him. He is happy to make others happy. Because at that moment, he also felt a happiness that was hard to tell.
"Well old man, then I'll resign. You have to remember everything I said" Chen Li said.
"Would the young master not want to drink tea for a while?"
"Thank you. Next time if I get a chance, I'll stop by again. Now I have a lot of business,"
"Alright then young master. May the gods always protect you" said the village chief.
Chen Li nodded in thanks. The people also expressed deep gratitude.
A wind suddenly appeared. Dust flying. After it disappeared, Chen Li was no longer there.
"Truly a wonderful child," the village chief muttered as he shook his head.

The boy is now in the inn and restaurant with his three best friends. They had just finished dinner when Chen Li arrived.
"You're Chen Li for a long time. Where the hell is it?" li Meng Li asked a little annoyed.
"Obviously, I'm looking for fun" he answered briefly and began to eat the food at the table.
"Tomorrow morning we leave immediately for the Thousand Demon Sect," Yuan Shao said.
"Well," they answered in unison.
After telling a joke, in the end the four boys immediately went to their respective rooms to take a break. Their bodies were already feeling tired after going through various kinds of events on the journey.
In just a few moments, each of them had already fallen asleep with his dreams.

Early in the morning they woke up. Now the four have cleaned themselves at once breakfast. Moi Xiuhan was paying their fees overnight.
After he returned from the cashier's desk, the four boys immediately continued on their way so they could arrive early.
