Chapter 1709: Finish Him Off

“No, you must accept it.”

The captain of the Prosperous Riches Mercenary Group was a man in his early thirties who had a black goatee.

He sincerely handed that small bag to Qiao Mu again and explained earnestly, “If Miss hadn’t extended a helping hand, all of us here would have already died.”

“This is only a tiny token of gratitude from our Prosperous Riches Mercenary Group. Please do not reject it in distaste.”

“There is not much, only a small bag of ordinary food. Please do not decline it anymore, Miss.”

Seeing the leader’s sincerity, Qiao Mu nodded and accepted the small bag he handed over.

By this time, wails were ringing throughout the mountain path.

The entire caravan had suffered quite a number of casualties from the attack just now.

A middle-aged man cried for some time while holding onto a tattered corpse. Afterwards, he teetered as he got up and walked up to the leader, shouting furiously, “Captain Jin! Didn’t you say that we were about to arrive at Wengka City, and there wasn’t any danger anymore?”

“Why did my son die? Why didn’t you save my son first!”

“The reason I hired your mercenary group was to guarantee our safety for the duration of the caravan’s journey. But what did you do? You would rather rescue a lowly woman instead of my son?”

“I want you to pay with your life! Give me back my son’s life, give it back!” The middle-aged man bawled.

A woman was still kneeling on the side with a lowered head, shrinking into a ball. It was evident that she had suffered from a huge shock earlier too.

It turned out that this middle-aged man’s son had gotten attacked at the same time as another woman from the caravan.

Captain Jin didn’t purposely rescue one or the other. It was only that the woman was closer to him and easier to rescue, so he immediately did that.

Subsequently, the middle-aged man’s son lost his life in this sudden attack.

The middle-aged man could be considered the big boss who had contributed the most money to hire the Prosperous Riches Mercenary Group for this mission to protect the caravan.

Besides that, the mercenary group had made several smaller business deals to bring some women and children to Wengka City along with them.

Captain Jin had discussed with the middle-aged man back then, saying that he would reduce some of the latter’s fees if they could also bring these women and children with them. The middle-aged man had joyfully agreed.

Yet the latter was telling him right now that he shouldn’t have rescued other people but the latter’s son?

To Captain Jin, there was no division of status between the people in their caravan. He would treat them all the same.

But the middle-aged man did not think this way. He felt that since he was the big boss, the Prosperous Riches Mercenary Group should have first guaranteed his and his son’s safety. But things did not turn out as he wished. No matter what, he could not accept the fact that his son had actually lost his life in this attack.

The middle-aged man was about to lunge forward while hollering at Captain Jin.

Suddenly, pain assaulted his chest. It seemed he had actually been kicked flying and crashed to the ground.

The other people in the caravan had been weeping when they turned their heads and saw the middle-aged man being ruthlessly kicked to the ground.

They looked up and saw that the little lady who had saved them earlier was staring unfeelingly at that middle-aged man.

“He got scratched. Finish him off.”

After leaving these words, Qiao Mu turned around and hopped onto Qingluan’s back.. She then stroked Qingluan’s head and said softly, “Let’s go.
