Mo Han put on a peculiar expression and replied, "Indeed, very strange. There seemed to be a crowd just a moment ago, but where did everyone run off to now that we’ve arrived? Could it be because I’m too handsome? Ah, it’s tough being a good-looking guy."

Hearing Mo Han’s shameless retort, everyone fell silent; this person truly left them speechless.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Kelly emerged carrying the new team badges. Seeing the D-rank insignia, everyone cheered. Mo Han suggested they go celebrate properly, and everyone happily agreed. Together, they turned toward the exit of the Mercenary Guild.

As the group stepped out of the main hall entrance, they saw Liu Qingyuan leading a young man with a sinister gaze and three elders who looked both arrogant and fearful.

The young man leading the group, upon seeing Dai Li, couldn't help but stare at her lecherously. Mo Han, displeased by the sight, let out a humph and spoke up, "Where did this fly come from, buzzing around so much? You’re really asking for a beating."

Hearing Mo Han’s words, the leading young man’s expression soured, and he spoke arrogantly, "What kind of mongrel are you, daring to speak to this young master like that? Don’t you want to live anymore?"

Those near Mo Han heard their leader being insulted and their faces changed drastically. Rock even roared, "You dead rat! With your looks, you dare insult our Boss? Believe it or not, Old Man Rock here will beat you so badly even your parents won't recognize you."

Mo Han chimed in from the side, "Rock, your eyesight has improved lately; you even recognized a rat wearing makeup."

Hearing Mo Han, everyone from Feiyun burst into laughter, while the youth and the three elders behind him had drastic changes in expression.

Liu Qingyuan also looked quite anxious. At that moment, they only heard the young man viciously command the three elders, "Three elders, go sever this kid’s tendons in his hands and feet, and cut out his tongue too! Then let’s see how arrogant he can be."

Hearing the young man’s command, Mo Han’s expression also shifted. This person was truly vicious, demanding such mutilation over a simple disagreement—what a sinister character.

The three elders behind the young man were about to move when Liu Qingyuan quickly intervened, saying, "Three elders, please wait a moment. I believe there might be some misunderstanding here."

He then turned to the young man and spoke, "Young Guild Master, I think this is just a misunderstanding. Let’s not spoil the peace, shall we? Besides, fighting is forbidden within the Mercenary Guild premises. I urge the Young Guild Master to reconsider."

Mo Han understood immediately upon hearing Liu Qingyuan; it turned out the opposing party was the Young Guild Master of the Mercenary Guild. No wonder he was so arrogant.

At this, the Young Guild Master’s face changed upon hearing Liu Qingyuan’s words, and he cursed angrily, "Liu Qingyuan, what kind of thing are you, daring to lecture me? Get lost to the side! Today, I will absolutely make this brat wish he was dead."

Mo Han sneered at the response, "You are asking for death yourself, so you can't blame me."

He then said to Liu Qingyuan, "Guild Master Liu, I have always operated on the principle of 'I won't attack unless attacked.' You know that. I suggest you try persuading this idiot, lest he suffers needlessly."

The Young Guild Master could no longer tolerate Mo Han’s arrogant words and snapped at the three elders, "Why aren't you moving yet!"

Liu Qingyuan quickly stepped in between them, pleading, "Young Guild Master, as the successor to the Guild, you should especially abide by the Guild's rules. I implore the Young Guild Master to be prudent."

The Young Guild Master’s face darkened, and he accused, "Liu Qingyuan, are you now siding with outsiders to bully me?" Liu Qingyuan replied respectfully but firmly, "Your subordinate dares not. Your subordinate is merely stating the Guild rules, and it is for the Young Guild Master's own good."

The Young Guild Master couldn't listen to reason and shouted, "If you don't move away now, I’ll deal with you too!"

He then yelled at the three elders, "Move in! If Liu Qingyuan tries to stop you, take him down too!"

The staff of the Mafa City Mercenary Guild, witnessing the Young Guild Master’s tyranny and remembering how considerate Liu Qingyuan usually was toward his subordinates, couldn't help but move to Liu Qingyuan’s side, loudly condemning the Young Guild Master’s barbarism.

Seeing this turn of events, the Young Guild Master’s expression flickered slightly, and he shouted loudly, "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel? Or do you not want to stay in the Guild anymore?"

At this point, Liu Qingyuan spoke, calling out to his staff, "Everyone stand down! Do not be disrespectful to the Young Guild Master."

He then bowed to the Young Guild Master and replied submissively, "It is due to my lax supervision. I beg the Young Guild Master's forgiveness."

Mo Han, observing from the side, sighed dramatically, "Guild Master Liu, Mo Han sees you as a respectable person. I will give you face today and refrain from causing a scene here. We shall take our leave now."

Saying that, he turned to lead the Feiyun members away. Liu Qingyuan quickly bowed to Mo Han, saying, "Thank you, young friend, for your understanding. Qingyuan expresses his gratitude here."

Mo Han quickly returned the bow and stated, "There's no need for formality; I am leaving because I admire your character."

Just then, the Young Guild Master’s shout rang out, "Kid, you think just because you insulted me, you can leave safely? Stop dreaming!"

Mo Han scoffed dismissively, "Today, I am letting you off on account of Guild Master Liu. If you are truly set on finding death, feel free to try me."

The Young Guild Master declared arrogantly, "With your pathetic D-rank mercenary group, you dare to be so presumptuous? Today, I will make your life a living hell! All of you, attack him!"

As the Young Guild Master finished speaking, the three elders lunged directly at Mo Han. Mo Han watched the incoming figures with a hint of disdain. Just as the three shadows were about to reach him, a burst of white light suddenly enveloped Mo Han—it was Xiao Han’s protective barrier. The three figures rapidly closed in, each unleashing a pale blue surge of battle qi; it seemed they had all reached the level of High-tier Sword Master, which explained their arrogance.

The battle qi struck the luminous screen, causing ripples, and then rebounded toward the three figures at an even greater speed. Unprepared, the three desperately tried to defend themselves but were all struck back by their own energy. They staggered back several steps upon landing, their faces turning pale.

One of the elders shouted, "Holy Light Barrier! Kid, what is your relationship with the Church of Light? Explain quickly, to avoid further misunderstanding."

Mo Han retorted arrogantly, "What Holy Light Barrier? Do you think I can cast something like that? Idiot."

At this point, Liu Qingyuan whispered a few words into the elder’s ear. The elder's face changed drastically, and he asked, "Is what you said true?" Liu Qingyuan nodded. The elder then spoke to Mo Han, "Kid, today, on account of Guild Master Liu’s face, we will let this go for now. Be quick and leave."

Mo Han sneered, "Is that so? Then why didn't you listen when Guild Master Liu tried to intervene earlier? Now that I don't wish to, and you've provoked me, you think you can just walk away clean?"

The elder’s expression hardened. "Now you say that. Do you really intend to make an enemy of our Mercenary Guild?" Mo Han said coldly, "Stop trying to threaten me with the Mercenary Guild every other sentence. I hate being threatened the most. If you don't apologize to me today, don't even think about leaving. You are free to try."
