The Marshal’s Wife is Wild
Chapter 162 - 161: I Will Reason with Them

Chapter 162: Chapter 161: I Will Reason with Them

If they run out of patience, they’ll just tear it apart; the result will be the same.

Qu Tong unbuckled his seat belt and stood up, walking towards the cabin door.

"Miss Jun Li." Rong Yueqing looked at Qu Tong with concern.

"This aircraft wasn’t cheap, it shouldn’t be destroyed so easily. Maybe we should wait a bit more, in case..." Cheng Yao’s voice got softer and softer, he didn’t quite believe in his own words.

Qu Tong’s dark eyes shone, a smile hooked on his lips, "Don’t panic, I’ll go reason with them."

Cheng Yao subconsciously complied and opened the cabin door, then realizing what he’d done, exclaimed, "No! Reason with Star Thieves? Isn’t that like playing the lute to a cow, utterly nonsensical?"

"Boss, don’t be rash..."

Before the elevator could descend, Qu Tong had already casually jumped down.

"Hey, it’s a pretty chick!" one of the Star Thieves whistled lewdly at Qu Tong.

The next second, he was ensnared by a vine around his waist and flung away, crashing against the battered shell of their Mecha, and spitting out a mouthful of blood before closing his eyes, his life and death unknown.

Fei Wenxing rushed to the door, arriving just in time to witness this scene, and his mouth fell open in shocked silence.

He stopped Cheng Yao and the others who wanted to come out, "Let’s not go. We’d just end up hostages and slow the boss down."

The others peered out and inhaled sharply as well, such ruthlessness!

Other Star Thieves, seeing the plight of their companion, reacted by drawing their weapons and summoning their Mechas, while two others ran toward the aircraft.

Qu Tong dodged bullets, summoned his Mecha, activated the energy gun, and blew the head off a nearby aircraft.

The person who hadn’t reached the aircraft yet felt his legs go weak from fear.

The silver Mecha leaped, landing in front of the remaining aircraft, and kicked another person into a daze.

Qu Tong, alone, faced the attack of three Mechas and over a dozen people, and still had the upper hand with ease.

Fei Wenxing and the others either peeked their heads out or leaned against the window to watch, full of admiration.

"The boss is too powerful, even dodging Ion Light Speed attacks."

"That Mecha looks so cool!"

"Haven’t you noticed that this Mecha looks familiar?" Song Ke asked.

"Yeah, it does." Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao nodded in agreement but couldn’t recall where they had seen it.

It was Xu An who reminded them, "That’s the SSS-rank Mecha from the Underground Fighting Arena."

"Ohhh!!" Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao instantly shrieked in surprise.

Then they all began talking at once about how to cling to Qu Tong and persuade her to agree to be their boss.

In that brief moment, Qu Tong had already cornered the thieves, trembling in fear, and those who tried to escape were bound by her vines and yanked back.

Qu Tong retracted her Mecha, casually twirling a vine in her hand, and smiled cruelly, "This is a robbery! Hand over anything valuable."

The Star Thief Leader cursed inwardly: Damn it, who the hell is the robber here?!

Qu Tong approached, extending her cyber-brain as a sign for everyone to transfer money.

A Star Thief with a face full of pockmarks, trembling, stepped forward and brought out his cyber-brain to make a transfer, but then his eyes turned vicious, and he swiftly pulled a gun from his Space Button.

"Bang!" The sound of the gun rang out but nobody fell.

Instead, the pockmarked Star Thief screamed in pain, following the "crack" of his arm being broken by a pair of fair, delicate-looking hands, and the pistol fell to the ground.

The vine wrapped around the gun and brought it into Qu Tong’s hands, its dark barrel pointing straight at the pockmarked man’s forehead.

```

The Star Thief with the pockmarked face now knew fear and, disregarding the pain, knelt and begged for mercy in terror, "Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! I was wrong! I’ll hand it over, I’ll hand everything over!"

Qu Tong chuckled, spun the gun, and retracted the Space Button.

The pockmarked Star Thief thought he had escaped disaster and hadn’t even had time to relax when a thorny vine pierced through his throat.

The fresh blood intimidated the other Star Thieves and, aside from the sound of the pockmarked man falling, there was silence at the scene.

The Star Thief Leader was on the verge of tears, "Spare me, hero. We only robbed some petty cash, we never killed anyone, the sneak attack has nothing to do with us."

Qu Tong didn’t care whether they had killed or not, she just wanted to pull off a heist, and it was their bad luck to have bumped into her.

The dozen or so men miserably handed over their Space Buttons and the money in their accounts to Qu Tong, even the supplies in the spacecraft were looted clean.

Fei Wenxing and the others were stupefied by Qu Tong’s actions and couldn’t help exclaiming, "666."

Fortunately, they left behind one spacecraft, mainly because it looked so run-down that Qu Tong wasn’t interested in it.

This band of Star Thieves really was pitiful; a dozen of them couldn’t even scrape together 5 million, and aside from a few Energy Stones and tubes of Energy Liquid in the Space Buttons, as well as the Space Buttons themselves worth a few hundred thousand, the rest were all worthless trinkets.

At least she got some small change out of it, which made Qu Tong feel less annoyed.

In the end, Qu Tong turned her head, and the dozen men’s hearts leaped to their throats.

"We really have nothing left, hero," the Star Thieves trembled as they declared.

Qu Tong’s gaze landed on the Star Thief Leader, feeling truly bothered by him, she held the Qingmu pointing at him and said coolly, "Go shave off that yellow mop on your head, and don’t let me see you a second time."

Star Thief Leader: "???"

Why was she even regulating someone’s hairstyle?

But he only dared to nod, not daring to speak.

The Star Thieves watched the red spacecraft brazenly departing, feeling as if they were being slapped repeatedly across the face, the pain acute.

"Damn it! Shit!" the Star Thief Leader grabbed his messy hair and stamped his foot vigorously.

Then he turned and roared at his subordinates, "No one’s allowed to speak a word of this once we’re outside, or else don’t even think about following me."

The subordinates wouldn’t dare not comply.

On the spacecraft, Song Ke and the others now looked at Qu Tong with a different regard.

After all, this was an SSS-rank boss, and SSS-rank Psychics in the Empire were a rare breed, let alone an Ability Awakener.

Fei Wenxing eagerly offered up the Energy Liquid, "Boss is truly boss! Have some Energy Liquid to recover!"

Qu Tong looked at the familiar logo on the test tube, stretched out a finger to push it away, and glanced disinterestedly at the grinning Fei Wenxing, "Call me boss when you can do more than just shout ’666’ when you encounter Star Thieves."

Fei Wenxing’s face flushed a bit, but he still confidently assured, "I just panicked a bit the first time I met Star Thieves. It won’t happen again. I’ll train hard when I get back."

Qu Tong, having nearly depleted her spiritual power, closed her eyes for a while.

Xu An and the others didn’t disturb her, and the second half of the trip on the spacecraft was much quieter.

Qu Tong declined Cheng Yao and the others’ invitation to dine, returning to Yuelan Bay before nightfall.

Fei Wenxing and the others were still shaken when they returned, reporting the incident to the local garrison troops.

Upon inquiry, they realized that the distress signal Xu An had sent hadn’t gone through after all, which only deepened their gratitude towards Qu Tong; otherwise, they had no idea if they could have overpowered those dozen Star Thieves in a head-on fight.

Because of this, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao specially went online to promote the heroic tale of how a band of Star Thieves had their robbery backfire, ending up plundered themselves.

This news spread among the Star Thieves Gang, becoming a cautionary tale, and the Star Thief Leader nearly choked on his own blood in frustration, feeling like he couldn’t go on being a Star Thief even for another day. But that’s a story for another time.
