Chapter 22

Or perhaps participating in the wars of warring countries, or hunting down Quasi-Inner Force Realm criminals and the like, where the bounties are calculated in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions. However, Hao Qi had neither the energy to cater to others nor any intention of getting involved in wars. As for tracking and hunting criminals, he did have some interest in that—provided the crimes were real, such as murder for property or bullying the innocent. In such cases, he genuinely intended to uphold justice on the chivalrous path, fulfilling a dream of chivalry he had held since his past life. Unfortunately, the arrest warrants issued by these nations were almost exclusively for political criminals—individuals whose political stances or interests clashed with those of the ruling powers. To these countries, a Quasi-Inner Force Realm or Inner Force Realm martial artist murdering for wealth or oppressing the common folk was hardly a crime at all; as long as such individuals could be of use to the state, the government would gladly sweep their misdeeds under the rug. The only people truly targeted by state warrants were those whose interests conflicted with the nation's. Hao Qi had no intention of wading into those muddy waters.
