When Wen Long said this, the six people who had fallen to the ground immediately looked terrified and began to beg for mercy.
"Spare us, sir! We were just following orders... The hunting weapons we used were just for show, we absolutely had no intention of hurting you!"
"Following orders?" Wen Long blew his whiskers, pretending not to believe them, "Tell me, whose orders were you following? Meow?"
"Uh..."
There was another moment of silence.
"You won't say? If you don't, I'll send you to the Hunter's Guild, meow!" As Wen Long said this, he carefully sharpened his claws, looking as if he was ready to act at any moment.
"I'll talk, I'll talk!" At this moment, the man whose face Wen Long had scratched immediately changed his tune. The other men, though initially wanted to stop him, ultimately did not intervene and instead tacitly agreed, saying nothing more.
At this moment, Wen Long was secretly smiling to himself: "Sure enough, they're afraid of being handed over to the Hunter's Guild. These people have no real skills and rely on hunting to support their families. If they are expelled from the Hunter's Guild, they will lose their means of livelihood, so they will obediently comply..."
So Wen Long asked again, "Then, I'll ask one last time, whose orders were you following? Meow?"
"It was Lord Levi! We are all members of his Storm Hunter Group, and we were following his orders!"
"Meow, so it's him!" Wen Long pretended to have just found out and said with righteous indignation.
In fact, Wen Long had long known the answer. He was just pretending to have just found out to ensure that these people would no longer be trusted by Levi, thereby weakening the power of Levi's Storm Hunter Group.
After all, no leader would continue to trust a subordinate who revealed their secrets to the enemy.
So, Wen Long said to the man whose face was scratched, "Alright, since you were honest, I won't make things difficult for you. You can go... meow."
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Cat!" Upon hearing this, the man whose face was scratched by Wen Long immediately picked up his weapon from the ground and ran off.
Seeing that the man whose face was scratched was let go by Wen Long, the others also became eager, all requesting that Wen Long let them go as well.
"Cough, cough..." Wen Long cleared his throat and said, "I can let you go, but you must provide me with some useful information! I can't just let you go for nothing, meow!"
"I'll talk, I'll talk..." Someone immediately stepped forward to confess to Wen Long.
"Alright, you come one by one. But let me make it clear, I want information that I find useful. If it's not useful, don't blame me for being unfriendly, meow!"
"Alright, Mr. Cat, I'll go first. Let me tell you, our leader is a womanizer, he often brings different women back..." Among the remaining five, the man with a knee injury was the first to speak up.
"Meow, what does his womanizing have to do with me?" Wen Long frowned, "This information is useless. Do you have any useful information?"
After Wen Long said this, the man with injured knees quickly added, "Uh... oh, right, our leader is very rich!"
"Very rich? How rich? Meow?"
"I don't know exactly, but I know he has a large chest, and it's full of gold coins!"
"A whole chest of gold coins, huh..." Wen Long thought for a moment and then suddenly shouted, "You're lying! Meow!"
"No, sir, I'm not lying!" At this moment, the man with the injured knees looked aggrieved.
"Then let me ask you, your leader, Levi, is just a low-level two-star hunter. How could he earn a whole chest of gold coins? Meow?"
"Mr. Cat, please listen to me. It's true that a low-level two-star hunter can't earn that much money from hunting alone, but my leader knows a special formula to make healing potions. Plus, the trade route from Mirard Village to the big city of Majepoltan hasn't been open for a long time, so my leader has made a lot of money by selling healing potions!"
"Is that so..." Hearing the man with the injured knees, Wen Long suddenly understood a lot.
"So, this Levi has been causing trouble for me not just because of White Fur's instigation. When I first came to Mirard Village, I auctioned healing potion G in the tavern. At that time, he must have already set his sights on me..."
"After all, healing potion G is much more effective than regular healing potions. With healing potion G, the sales of Levi's healing potions would naturally decrease... and so would his earnings! Meow!"
After thinking for a moment, Wen Long asked again.
"Then I'll ask you one more question, and if you answer well, I'll let you go, meow!"
"Alright, Mr. Cat, you can ask anything. As long as I know, I'll tell you everything!"
"Hmm..." Wen Long nodded and said, "I want to ask you, where does your leader keep the chest of gold coins?"
"The chest is in our leader's bedroom. I only saw it once by chance. That time, I went to his bedroom to report, and his door was open. I pushed it open and saw him counting the gold coins in the chest..."
"Oh, I see... meow!"
At this point, Wen Long had already formed a plan for revenge against Levi and White Fur. On the surface, he just pretended to be enlightened and expressed amazement at Levi's chest of gold coins.
"So, your leader has that much money. This is indeed important information. You can go now! Meow!"
"Thank you, Mr. Cat, your generosity will never be forgotten!"
After thanking Wen Long, the man with the injured knees limped away.
Next, Wen Long interrogated the remaining four people, obtaining more information about Levi and the Storm Hunter Group, such as the list of members, the location of the Storm Hunter Group's headquarters, a simple map of Levi's residence, and Levi's daily routine, etc...
After the interrogation, Wen Long kept his promise and let all of them go.
