Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Catch Him

Yan Qingwen walked toward his subjects.

The Steel Puppet followed closely behind him.

The closer he got, the more terrified the people became; when he was about ten meters away, they began shouting uncontrollably, "Don’t come any closer!!!"

Yan Qingwen stopped, furrowing his brows and examining them.

The fear on their faces appeared genuine, but what exactly were they afraid of?

"You want to win, just go ahead and win! We won’t interfere! The sensor is over there!" a middle-aged man yelled, "Don’t come over here! Don’t come closer!"

Yan Qingwen turned his head and looked at the sensor not far away.

A light touch would change the state of ownership and increase the number of his territories.

But...

What was the deal with these people in front of him?

Yan Qingwen stood still, not getting any closer to them, and asked, "Where is your King?"

"We don’t know! He left us here and went away!" a woman in the crowd replied, shouting, "We don’t know anything. Please, don’t come any closer!"

Yan Qingwen frowned and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

They stared blankly at Yan Qingwen, their complexions turning pale.

Yan Qingwen noticed that among these people, there were not only middle-aged individuals and women but also seniors.

This was clearly not a combat team but rather a hastily assembled group.

Yan Qingwen even suspected, were these people here voluntarily?

He asked, puzzled, "Why were you recruited to become subjects?"

"We... we don’t know..." the middle-aged man stammered, "By the time we realised what had happened, we were already his subjects... Anyway, we won’t interfere with your victory, just... do not harm us..."

Yan Qingwen said, "We can avoid hurting you, but you’d better step aside so I can check if you’re carrying any dangerous items or tools or hiding any trace of the King."

The people on the other side showed a troubled expression.

The nine of them huddled together, showing no intention of separating.

"We... we can’t move aside," the middle-aged man said, lowering his head to avoid Yan Qingwen’s gaze.

The woman beside him explained nervously, "The King forbade us from separating. Please go, just don’t come any closer!"

Yan Qingwen felt even more suspicious; their limbs weren’t bound, their bodies weren’t caged, why then did they steadfastly remain in one place, unmoving?

There must be some trickery involved; unable to make a decision on his own, he turned around and walked back, planning to discuss it with Du Lai.

As he turned around, from the corner of his eye he saw those people suddenly widening their eyes in terror.

Yan Qingwen paused, following their gaze, only to see an additional figure at the border—

Not the tall physique common among foreign men but a slim one, in white shirt and black pants, cultured and refined, looking like a young office worker one might see anywhere, ordinary yet completely out of place in this scene!

"He... he’s back..."

"Don’t... don’t..."

The nine subjects finally showed some activity, mumbling as if wishing to escape, yet hesitating, afraid to struggle too obviously.

Yan Qingwen looked at the distant figure and then back at the frightened, anguished people behind him, various thoughts flashing through his mind, a foreboding sensation suddenly rising in his heart!

Upon seeing the King, the nine subjects started to scream and howl, their skin turning from white to red, their bodies gradually expanding!

Yan Qingwen was shocked and turned around to shout to Du Lai and others, "Run!!!"

— Boom!!!

As the loud noise erupted, everyone scattered and ran!

A severe shockwave radiated outward, carrying a stench of blood—blood and carnage everywhere!

The Steel Puppet shielded Yan Qingwen from most of the impact and fell heavily! Yan Qingwen pushed himself up, and looking back, he saw no trace of the nine subjects, only a mist of blood where they had been.

Without time to gather his emotions, he pointed towards the figure by the boundary line and yelled, "Catch him!!!"
