"Okay."
The purple-robed old man nodded in agreement.
He was slightly relieved to see that his father didn't act rashly. The Ryan family might seem powerful on the surface, but they would still suffer heavy losses if they were to fight a mid-phase Star State expert head-on.
The more successful a person was, the more they knew how to cut their losses.
"I'll ask around in the astral circle later and see if anyone knows such a guy," said O 'Neil with a gloomy face.
The black-haired woman and the white-robed old man looked at each other and didn't say anything.
…
On the same day —
On the Kamp Continent on Rhea —
Woffett City was as prosperous as during the day when night fell.
A lot of people had gathered on the street where the battle took place during the day. Even the nearby streets were filled with people. Most of them were battle pet warriors who had come to observe the battle.
There were too many witnesses to the battle in the afternoon; it was impossible to block the news, especially in the technologically advanced Federation.
The news could have been transmitted to other planets if it weren't for the restrictions on the Star Network.
Everybody on the Kamp Continent knew that a battle had taken place on that street.
As for the other continents, some of the more informed organizations had also received the news and paid close attention.
According to the insiders, one of the parties involved was a guest of the Ryan family!
It meant that someone was bold enough to challenge the authority of the Ryan family on Rhea. How big a deal was that?
"Do you think Lord Ryan will come in person?"
"What's the background of this store? Pixie Pet Store? I've never heard of such a brand. "
"Is it a major alien force that wants to set up shop on Rhea? But if it's going to set up shop, it should be trying to build a good relationship with the Ryan family. Why are they fighting? "
"I heard that someone from the Ryan family was interested in the beauties in the store and wanted to rob them. That's why they started a fight."
"Beauties? What beauties? "
"Hey, brother, you must've never been to this store, right? You don't know that there's a beautiful employee in this store who's even prettier than Emily. You'll know when you see her. I divorced my wife the moment I saw her!"
"Seriously? Brother, are you that ruthless?"
"That's nothing. I'd rather be single than be a widow for her!"
"…"
Among the crowd, there was a lot of discussion. No one knew who started it, but the cause of this war was finally attributed to a woman.
For a moment, many people sighed with emotion. Femme fatale!
On the other hand, the customers who had visited Su Ping's store and seen Joanna's face said, "You losers don't know anything. If I had the ability, I would want to rob her too!"
How could the Ryan family have a chance?
"It's already night time. I wonder if the Ryan family will send someone over."
"Considering the efficiency of the Ryan family, they should've arrived by now, shouldn't they?"
"When the fight starts, won't we be affected if we watch from here?"
"Are you stupid? There are so many people here. I heard that some of them are from the Laiyefa family. How could the Ryans attack in the city? Even if they did, they would've gone to the tertiary space and wouldn't have affected the outside world."
"That's true. Speaking of which, why aren't they here yet?"
The onlookers were looking around, feeling a little lonely from waiting.
In the pet assessment shop across the street, the street outside the shop collapsed and the shop was also affected. Fortunately, the equipment inside wasn't damaged because of the enchantment.
"That's all I know."
Cleo was standing in an office in the shop. In front of her was the projection of a middle-aged man made of virtual data.
The middle-aged man in the projection frowned and asked, "Is that all?"
"Yes."
Cleo bit her lips and said, "I promise that I'm telling the truth. I really didn't know what was going on in the shop. I trained the pets out of pure curiosity. Besides, I speculated that there was a master trainer in the shop based on the two pets that Lily bought earlier. That's why I took the risk to take action."
The middle-aged man was deep in thought, as if he hadn't heard her.
After a while, he collected his thoughts and said indifferently, "I know. The family will investigate this matter thoroughly. If that's the case, you don't have to worry about anything. Since you were there, you can continue to observe this shop. If you find any new information, report it immediately."
Cleo was relieved. She asked carefully, "My lord, may I ask why the owner of this shop offended our family?"
The middle-aged man frowned and glanced at her. Considering her innate talent, he pondered for a while and then said, "The owner of this shop is the young man you saw. He killed Young Master Randall."
"What?"
Cleo widened her eyes in shock.
Randall was killed by Su Ping?
As a member of the Ryan family, she had heard of Randall's name.
He was a direct descendant of the family, and one of the three most talented ones. The family had high hopes for him!
Although her talent wasn't bad, and if she had the same resources, she could also reach the same height as Randall. However, her position in the family was completely different from that of Randall's. They were two levels apart!
Let's put it this way: Randall wouldn't have been punished if he had accidentally killed her!
However, she would have been heavily punished if she had hurt him, even if it was just a minor injury! Her cultivation would have been destroyed, or worse, she would have been executed!
That was the authority of a direct descendant; it was inviolable!
"A lot of people know about it, but it's not something to be proud of. You'd better keep it a secret," said the middle-aged indifferently and ended the communication.
The virtual projection of the person also extinguished and disappeared.
Cleo stood where she was in a daze. What she saw in her head was Su Ping's unperturbed face.
Everything that had happened that day had shocked her so much that she almost lost her composure.
That guy is a Star State expert!
And he even killed Young Master Randall!
How dare he?
Even if he was a Star State expert, it wouldn't have been wise to piss off the Ryan family!
Why did he kill Randall? Did the sixth young master piss him off? He must have … Cleo was stunned for a long time, then put on a bitter smile.
She believed that Su Ping wouldn't have attacked someone from the Ryan family without a good reason.
If he really had a grudge against the Ryan family, Su Ping could have killed her in Su Ping's shop.
Unless, of course, Su Ping didn't know that she was a nobody.
However, she had the Ryan family's emblem on her clothes back then!
So, it could be inferred that Su Ping didn't do anything to the Ryan family back then. Randall's death might have been an accident, or Randall was simply courting death by pissing him off, not knowing that he was a Star State expert.
After all, the guy was only pretending to be an Ocean State expert.
You're a Star State bigshot; why are you pretending to be so weak?
Even if he wanted to keep a low profile, he could have pretended to be a Fate State expert. Nobody would dare to piss him off.
Besides, Fate State warriors wouldn't attract much attention when they walked on the streets. They would keep a low profile and wouldn't be underestimated. That was the best way to go about it.
Good thing I didn't say anything outrageous back then. That was too scary … Cleo remembered what she said to Su Ping in his shop in a fit of pique. If Su Ping had really wanted to kill her, he would have only needed to reveal his identity, and the Ryan family would have settled the matter privately.
After all, it wasn't worth it to piss off a Star State bigshot for a junior like her.
However, Su Ping had killed Randall, a talented member of the Ryan family. It wouldn't be so easy to settle the matter.
Cleo took a deep breath and sighed again. She turned around and walked out of the office. Together with Lily, who was waiting in the corridor, she came to the window on the second floor and looked at the shop across the street.
At this moment, the streets were crowded with people. They were densely packed with people.
However, there was still a line outside of Su Ping's shop.
Cleo wasn't in the mood to wait in line anymore. She wouldn't have dared to stand at the front; her life was more important.
It should be about time to get here from the Central Continent. Let me ask my father … Cleo looked at the time and was slightly confused. She then contacted her father with a communicator.
"What?"
Cleo was stunned when she heard the message from the other side of the communicator.
"What's wrong, cousin?" Lily was also slightly stunned. She didn't eavesdrop on Cleo's conversation out of politeness; she had blocked her ears.
After hanging up, Cleo said in a daze, "I just heard from my father that the family didn't do anything. Everybody in the family knows about the incident, but … I heard that my grandfather didn't leave the mysterious realm …"
"He didn't leave the mysterious realm?" Lily was stunned. She asked in disbelief, "Is the family going to let it go? But … But it was Young Master Randall who was killed! "
Cleo was also in a trance.
Yes.
That was Randall we were talking about!
He was a star of the younger generation in the family; he was the center of attention.
He used to be an unreachable genius in the eyes of the younger generation.
Then, they heard that he was dead, and that the family didn't intend to pursue the matter any further.
Garland was just escorted into the shop. The other two must've escaped. Did they think that the guy was so strong that even my grandfather found him difficult to deal with? Cleo speculated. Her eyes slightly trembled. It was too scary!
Time flew.
It was already midnight in the blink of an eye.
However, the starry sky above their heads was even more brilliant.
The number of onlookers on the street was reduced by half. Even so, the street was still crowded.
