"Aren't you afraid of causing fear among the residents?"
At the edge of the Jade Chamber, Keqing looked down at the crowded streets below and couldn't help but turn back to ask.
Such methods were indeed terrifying.
But surely, it would make people think that Su Han was a cruel and ruthless person.
"You're overthinking it. When dealing with enemies, no method is too extreme. The moment they chose to join the Fatui, they were no longer citizens of Liyue."
"Adults need to pay the proper price for their actions."
Su Han lay back in his chair, leisurely sipping his tea.
"When they were torturing those workers, did they ever think of themselves as people of Liyue?"
"When they were killing those workers, did they ever think of themselves as people of Liyue?"
"Keqing, your methods in the past have been too soft."
"When facing the Fatui, only by being more ruthless than them will you make them dare not act recklessly!"
"And for daring to touch my people, it's not going to end this simply."
Just then, a notification sounded in the group chat.
Su Han smiled. "You see? This is my true revenge against the Fatui."
"What? You actually had Kaedehara Kazuha do something like this?" Keqing's face filled with shock as she watched the videos that had been posted in the chat.
There were three videos in total.
Each one showed the destruction of a Fatui stronghold.
In the Multiverse Mission Group chat.
Kaedehara Kazuha:@Su Han, Master, I have completed the task you assigned. Are there any further orders?
Su Han:Nothing for now. Come back.
Kaedehara Kazuha:Yes, sir!
Hu Tao:My heavens! Su Han, what have you been doing behind our backs? Why are so many people dead?!
Su Han:It's nothing. Just cleaning up some of the fleas in Liyue. By the way, @Beidou, how are things on your end?
His methods were not limited to just this.
The Fatui had been dealt with, but the Treasure Hoarders had not!
Therefore, he had entrusted Beidou with the task of delivering a painful blow to the Treasure Hoarders.
The price was a future upgrade for The Alcor, turning it into a rune-powered ship.
Beidou:Hehe, when I make a move, you can rest assured. Eight nearby maritime Treasure Hoarder camps have all been destroyed. The survivors have been handed over to the Millelith. Our deal had better hold up!
Su Han:Don't worry. you can bring your ship to the Guili Plains today!
Beidou:Excellent! Hahahaha!
Keqing, watching the conversation, immediately contacted Ningguang.
Keqing:Why didn't you stop him? This will provoke the Fatui!
Ningguang:Do you think if we remained silent, the Fatui would just forget this incident? They attacked the Guili Plains the day before yesterday, and yesterday they attacked Su Han's shop. What made them so fearless? It was our failure to strike back! Su Han discussed his plan with me before he acted. I am in complete agreement with his methods.
Ningguang's reply was not what Keqing had expected.
When had the normally steady and calm Tianquan become so aggressive?
Although Keqing herself acted decisively, she still had a grasp of the bigger picture. Wiping out the Fatui was satisfying, but if handled poorly, it could cause friction between the two nations and lead to even more deaths.
But with Ningguang and Su Han seemingly in collusion, there was nothing Keqing could do. She could only let the matter drop.
Inside the Northland Bank, an intelligence officer in a Fatui uniform ran in, flustered.
"This is terrible, Lord Tartaglia! All of our people who were sent out have been killed, and they were beheaded in the streets for all to see!"
"What did you say?" Tartaglia shot to his feet.
What was Liyue playing at?
To actually behead their people in a public display.
As the intelligence officer recounted the details, Tartaglia's expression grew grim.
"This is a blow to the heart as much as the body."
The identities of the dead Fatui were not officially announced.
However, the other agents on the street all recognized their comrades.
To be slaughtered just like that…
Putting aside everything else, his prestige as a Harbinger had been almost completely shattered. Yet, the enemy's methods had left him with no grounds for retaliation.
First, the executed were not officially announced as Fatui.
Second, they had colluded with Treasure Hoarders to harm Liyue.
Today they dared to touch Ningguang's trusted subordinate; tomorrow they might dare to touch others.
This kind of handling of the situation was actually earning praise from the people of Liyue!
But how did the enemy find his subordinates in such a short amount of time? Tartaglia began to wonder.
However, right after that, another intelligence officer brought even worse news.
Three large strongholds had been destroyed.
The number of Fatui lost exceeded one hundred!
Ever since Tartaglia had become a Harbinger, this was the first time he had suffered such a setback.
"Heh… interesting. Such a grand move, such ruthless methods. This doesn't seem like something that woman Ningguang would do."
"Did you see who made the move?"
"Reporting to my lord, we rushed over as soon as we received the distress call, but we still didn't encounter the enemy."
"Useless! So many people are dead, and you don't even know who the enemy is. Ridiculous!!!"
Seeing their lord's fury, the intelligence officers trembled in fear, not daring to say another word.
