170 The Qilin King Descends upon Quill
At the entrance of the Quill main team’s headquarters.
Zayn Ziegler’s steps were like a tiger’s, and an invisible pressure made Tony Wally and the others turn pale.
He was the dignified Warblade of the Central Plains, the Commander of the three provinces of the Central Plains, and he had jurisdiction over seventy-two cities.
It could be said that within the three provinces, Zayn was the most respected! His sacred majesty was ever-present.
The stupid things that Tony and the others had done really annoyed Zayn.
The Quill main team could not arrest the people of the Northern King!
The Quill team was directly managed by his central Hansworth team. How would King Braydon view Zayn?
Would others say that Zayn had been the Commander of the Central Plains for so many years and no longer cared about the former commander anymore?
If the news got out, Gordon Lowe would kill Zayn!
The commander had a high position and great power, but Gordon never took him seriously. If Zayn dared to betray him, he would dare to kill him!
Gordon was famous for his ruthlessness!
Moreover, among the five great commanders, spirit sword Gordon Lowe was the strongest and most talented.
Within three years, Gordon would be crowned king!
The moment he was conferred the title of king, he would be a spirit king.
At that time, none of the five great commanders would be able to suppress him.
He was that strong!
“Commander, Lucian Cross is being held in cell two. I’ll bring him out now.” Tony said, his voice trembling.
“Commander, Lucian Cross has committed a grave crime!” The deputy leader of the Quill team, Bowen Zak, stepped forward and said.
“What crime did he commit? ” Zayn asked with cold eyes.
“Lucian Cross has openly displayed his martial arts skills in the city and attacked innocent people. He has violated the ironclad law. According to the rules of the Quill team, even if he is not killed on the spot, he will be imprisoned for ten years!”
Bowen said in a serious tone.
But was that really the case?
Zayn was not a fool, so he said indifferently, “Yelena, bring Lucian out. I want to ask him personally!”
“Commander!”Bowen was taken aback. He looked deeply at Yelena Cross, thinking that this woman had invited Zayn to come here to protect her brother.
Yelena could only follow his orders and enter warehouse No. 2 of the Quill team.
The ground looked like a warehouse, but there were ten floors underground!
There were secret chambers on each of the ten floors, where martial artists who had committed grave mistakes were imprisoned.
Ordinary people were under the jurisdiction of the relevant departments, such as the traffic police and the civil police.
As for martial artists, they were under the jurisdiction of the special operations teams.
Therefore, the special operations teams in every region had special places to lock up martial artists.
In an office, Zayn sat at the head of the table. He did not say a word, and the atmosphere was silent and oppressive, which made everyone have a bad feeling.
A fair-skinned young man then appeared. He was seven feet tall and had delicate facial features. His phoenix-like eyes were calm and deep. He was wearing a white prison robe and was wrapped in chains. There was a stone ball under his feet.
The scariest wound was on Lucian Cross’ shoulder. The iron hook had pierced through his shoulder blades!
This was a method of ancient criminal punishment.
Once a martial artist’s shoulder blade was pierced, he would be half-crippled!
And now, they were using such a method on Lucian Cross.
Yelena’s tears could not stop falling. She wanted to protect Lucian, but she was only the director of the central Hansworth team’s secret archives. She did not have the right to directly intervene in the Quill team’s affairs.
“Sister, don’t cry. I’m fine!” Lucian chuckled softly.
“Commander, I’ve brought Lucian Cross!” Tony stepped forward and cupped his hands.
“You guys sure did a good job!”
Zayn suddenly stood up with anger in his eyes. He was furious when he saw Lucian’s scapula being pierced by the iron hook!
His tiger-like body was filled with a War God’s pressure as he shouted, “Kneel down!”
Boom!
Tony could not withstand the pressure, and he was forced to kneel on the ground.
The floor shattered, and the other four deputy team leaders could not escape falling to their knees. Their eyes flashed with fear. They had never seen their commander so furious!
Zayn said coldly, “Lucian is Yelena’s younger brother. He’s half a family member. But you guys pierced through his shoulder blades just like that. How impressive!
“Let me ask you, did Lucian Cross kill anyone?” He asked again.
“No!” Tony replied, lowering his head.
“If his hands aren’t stained with the blood of ordinary people, why did you pierce through his shoulder blades like he’s a death row convict?”
Zayn was furious.
He was about to go crazy!
Lucian was the person that King Braydon Neal wanted to protect, and now her scapula had been pierced.
Braydon was already on his way.
How was Zayn going to explain this to the commander?
The entire place was dead silent.
At this moment, Zayn could not help but look at Yelena. There were some things that Yelena had to tell Lucian.
Yelena said, “Lucian, it’s alright now. There’s an important person who wants to protect you. However, there are some things that you can’t say to that important person.”
“Who is that person? What can’t I say?” Lucian’s eyes rippled.
In his eyes, Commander Zayn Ziegler was already the most important person here.
Could there be someone even more powerful than him?
“That big shot wants to protect you,” Zayn said directly. “If he finds out that you’re being treated unfairly, and if you complain to him, in his anger, everyone here, including me, may be killed!”
“What?”
Tony and the others were in disbelief.
At this moment, the sound of a helicopter’s propeller could be heard in the sky above the Quill team.
Someone immediately entered the room to report. “Commander, the Preston team is here. It’s raining outside. The landing conditions aren’t good!”
Zayn was shocked. He did not expect Braydon to come so quickly.
In the sky above the Quill team’s base, a black helicopter flew in from the east overnight at an extremely fast speed.
However, on the way here, it began to rain, which was occasionally accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Bolts of lightning streaked through the darkness, their brightness blinding.
Zayn braved the wind and rain and personally stood outside to wait. He let the wind and rain sweep over his body, not moving like a mountain.
This made Tony and the others even more flustered!
Who was the person sent by the Preston team?
To think that their commander would personally wait in the middle of a rainy night!
The black helicopter descended from a height of 300 meters.
Everyone looked up.
Yelana’s eyes were filled with respect. She knew who was on the plane!
Only Lucian was calm and quiet. He did not look like an arrogant martial artist at all. Why would he hurt people in the middle of the city without any reason?
There was clearly a problem here!
At this moment, the rain poured down in torrents. A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed on a hundred-year-old tree in the Quill team’s base.
Crack!
The towering tree was split into two from the middle and turned into a piece of black charcoal, emitting black smoke.
This scene gave everyone a fright.
That was because the bolt of lightning had almost streaked across the black helicopter and landed on it.
The black helicopter kept swaying left and right, and the control panel in the cockpit was beeping. It had been disturbed by the strong magnetic field of the lightning, and some of its components had been burnt.
What was even more fatal was that the weather on this rainy night was filled with lightning.
The thunder rumbled, and the lightning was as sharp as a sword.
It fell with a loud bang!
The bolt of lightning landed on the propeller of the helicopter.
Bang!
Electric zaps shot out in all directions, and the entire helicopter fell apart.
This was the terrifying power of lightning.
The sudden change was unexpected!
This scene shocked everyone.
“The Northern King!” Zayn’s eyes were red as he shouted.
