"What the f * ck …"
The captain of the city guards felt like a hundred thousand little cuties were running wild in his heart.
Why did you change your mind?
You didn't treat her like that a moment ago!
As a matter of fact, he was rather dumbfounded.
The situation had changed so fast that his waist hurt.
Is it because of her identity?
Or did he take a fancy to her beauty?
So, you're the mayor of Jie Yu!
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up!" The old city lord saw that the other party was indifferent and had a dazed expression, so he couldn't help but shout angrily.
Cold sweat was dripping down his back. The woman in front of him was probably at the peak of the Star State. Garland had already said so; even if she wasn't, she was close. How could a Fate State warrior like him afford to offend her?
Even the family leader didn't dare to come in person!
The captain of the city guards was awakened by his reprimand. His face turned green and white, but after all, he had been the captain of the city guards for so many years, so he still had the ability to read the situation. At this moment, his knees went soft, and he knelt down with a thud!
"M-My lord, I'm sorry for disturbing you when I knocked on the door," said the captain in fear, lowering his head.
For the City Lord to suddenly change his attitude and show such reverence, the other party's identity must be extraordinary.
Otherwise, he would have lost the mayor's job if he had embarrassed the Ryan family just because of his beauty. He could go back to the Ryan family and claim his guillotine.
The whole street fell silent when he knelt. Only the noises from the streets further away could be vaguely heard.
The onlookers on the street, who were waiting to watch the battle, were all dumbfounded.
Someone from the mayor's office just knelt?
He had arrived aggressively, only to kneel right in front of her. That was quite impressive!
He almost curled his finger and asked her to come over!
"Well …"
On the second floor of the assessment shop — Cleo was also shocked to see that.
What's going on?
Who's that blonde woman? Why did the mayor force the captain of the city guards to kneel?
Is she also a Star State warrior?
She must be!
What other explanation could there be other than the Star State?
Cleo was instantly disappointed. She had seen the blonde girl in Su Ping's shop before. She seemed to be just an employee, but the girl's appearance had left a deep impression on her. She had been slightly dissatisfied at first.
"Is she also a Star State expert?" Lily was just as shocked and dumbfounded. She didn't expect that two Star State bigshots were hiding in the shop. That was unbelievable!
In addition to the two of them, the people on the street also reacted. The people here were not stupid and quickly figured out the reason.
If the blonde wasn't in the Star State, why would the captain of the city guards kneel and apologize?
After all, he represented the pride of Woffett City!
Woffett City was under the control of the Ryan family, which was the pride of the Ryan family!
"I thought you were here to demand an explanation …"
"Good heavens, he's really asking for an explanation. He's already kneeling down and begging!"
"What's going on? Is the background of this shop so terrifying?"
Everyone was whispering to each other, lowering their voices. They were incomparably shocked.
The Ryan family was the sky on Rhea, but they had discovered that there was a sky within a sky!
"You have indeed disturbed me. If you dare to disturb me again, you will no longer need to breathe," Joanna said indifferently. Her voice was like the sound of nature, but her tone was incomparably domineering.
The captain's heart skipped a beat; cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He quickly knelt and kowtowed.
It wasn't humiliating to kowtow to a Star State expert.
Besides, it was the mayor who had asked him to kneel. The mayor would be held accountable if the Ryan family pursued the matter.
"Get lost. Don't embarrass yourself," the mayor shouted. The old city lord immediately shouted. The whispers around him made him look rather awful. After all, he had been sent there to ask for an explanation. The current situation had damaged the dignity of the Ryan family.
He wouldn't have reacted that way if it weren't for Garland.
After all, the Ryan family would still behead him if the woman was really at the peak of the Star State, and he had offended her due to his recklessness!
He would be in a dilemma. He only regretted that he had to deal with such a mess.
Of all the places you could open your shop, why did you have to open it here?
When the captain of the city guards heard the City Lord's words, ten thousand little cuties once again ran wildly in his heart. However, although he was cursing in his heart, he did not dare to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. He quickly knelt down and retreated, standing at the side dejectedly.
"Please forgive me for my ignorance, sir. I'm the mayor of Woffett City. I'm here to fix the street," said the mayor respectfully.
When these words fell into the ears of the surrounding people, they clicked their tongues in praise.
That guy is really good at talking.
Fixing the street?
He was there to negotiate, yet he made his subordinate kneel and embarrass himself. Then, he claimed that he was there to fix the street, implying that they didn't represent the Ryan family.
If that was the case, the one who had kneeled and embarrassed himself wouldn't be the Ryan family's pride.
It was true that only the strong could get to a high position, not the brains.
With only martial strength, fighting and killing, one would only be a boorish man in the end. If this world listened to whoever had the biggest fist, it would have long perished. The fist would always be inferior to the brain.
He hadn't been punched in the head only because he had used another fist to punish him.
Also, he wasn't scared of being beaten up because his skull was hard enough!
Joanna glanced at them and said in disdain, "If you're here to fix the street, just do it. Why are you wasting your time here?"
Was he trying to play the art of language with her?
She was the War Goddess from the Demigod Burial. Not only was she good at attacking, she was also a leader.
She had seen that clearly a long time ago.
Joanna had already seen why those people were there when she opened the door. After all, she had learned about Su Ping's battle outside. She also had a basic understanding of the planet after Su Ping told her about the world outside the shop.
Together with her own guesses and judgments, she could basically guess what was going to happen next.
"Well …"
Hearing the words of this woman who seemed to have been polished with a carving knife, the old City Lord was a little stunned. He felt that such crude words were quite inconsistent with this young girl's appearance. Normally, with this kind of appearance, shouldn't she be drinking tea elegantly and looking extremely ladylike?
Why does she look like a tough girl?
"Well, my lord, we're here on behalf of the Ryan family. We'd like to ask you what it will take for you to reconcile with the Ryan family and set Garland free." Seeing that she had seen through his excuse, the mayor didn't try to find another one. He simply lowered his head and spoke telepathically.
Naturally, he couldn't let anyone else hear his begging.
"Reconcile? Wait until my boss comes back. I don't have the authority to make that decision, "said Joanna indifferently.
She then turned around and went back to her shop. When she was about to close the door, she said, "Hurry up and fix your street. Don't disturb our business. Also, don't bother us again!"
Bang.
She then closed the door.
The City Lord stood at the door with a dumbfounded look on his face.
She doesn't have the authority to make that decision?
She has to ask the boss?
Was there someone even stronger than the Star State bigshot?
Is it the young man who kept Garland in the battle, or someone else who hasn't shown up yet?
The more the mayor thought about it, the more shocked he became. He felt that it was a horrifying piece of news that had to be reported to his family.
Just as the door was about to close, the old city lord saw the helpless look in Consecrator Garan's eyes. He smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that he had messed up his mission this time and could only let Consecrator Garan continue to stay here.
The mayor turned around and said to the other two Fate State warriors, "Inform the City Defense Department to fix the street before dawn tomorrow. I'm going back now."
The two of them quickly accepted the order respectfully.
Although they were all in the same state, the mayor was already in the advanced phase of the Fate State, and he belonged to one of the more powerful factions in the Ryan family. They had to respect him.
"Stay here and cooperate with the City Defense Department. Don't let anyone get in the way of fixing the street," said the mayor to the captain of the city guards.
Then, he patted the captain's shoulder.
That was more or less a consolation.
The captain of the city guards felt like crying. It was true that his subordinates were meant to take the blame at critical moments.
"Yes, my lord." He accepted the order respectfully, not daring to show his emotions.
…
All the onlookers were shocked after the mayor and the others left.
They didn't expect that the mayor of the Ryan family would leave just like that.
Did the negotiations break down?
"That shop seemed to have closed first."
"He didn't show any respect to the Ryan family at all. He didn't even invite them into the shop."
"I wonder what the Ryan family will do next. That shop has two Star State experts. Even the Ryan family wouldn't want to piss them off. That's too irrational!"
"That's right. It won't be good for us if a fight breaks out. A Star State battle will shake the planet!"
Some of the old men who had grown up on Rhea were rather worried.
A battle between Star State experts was like a clash of nuclear weapons in the primitive Blue Star era. It was the civilians who would suffer losses in the end.
Outside the shop —
Miya stared blankly at the scene that had just happened, and she was a little confused.
Joanna is in the Star State?
No wonder she defeated me so easily in the virtual arena!
It would have been more than easy for her to defeat me as a Star State expert, even if they were of the same level!
She was suddenly in a better mood.
She had thought that she had been defeated by someone of the same level, but it turned out that she had been defeated by a Star State expert.
I was wondering why I was beaten so miserably by someone of the same level, Mia thought. She was suddenly eager to try again, wondering if she would have another chance like that in the future.
It was a dream of many people to have a chance to fight against a Star State expert.
It would be a great help in improving their secret techniques.
"The shop owner is also one of them. This shop is indeed extraordinary. No wonder the owner didn't take Layne seriously when he saw him. Strange. Could it be that the owner has a grudge against the Ryan family because of what happened back then?"
Mia suddenly felt uneasy when she thought about that. Layne had stood up for her and wanted to show off in front of her. However, she would feel guilty if Su Ping became enemies with the Ryan family because of such a trivial matter.
What should I do? I'll ask him tomorrow. I wonder if he'll answer me … Mia thought to herself. She was willing to be the mediator if her guess was correct.
On the other side —
The mayor had already sent the intelligence back to the Ryan family. The entire Ryan family fell silent when they heard that a second Star State expert had appeared.
In particular, the mayor claimed that Garland had informed him telepathically that the enemy was at the peak of the Star State.
That was too shocking!
The entire Ryan family fell silent. All the leaders who had heard the news were silent.
Some of the radicals who had been clamoring to attack the Ryan family and show them the power of the Ryan family also fell silent, as if they had been muted.
One of the two Star State experts had fought Garland, the white-robed old man and the other two on his own, and even managed to kill Garland!
The other one was suspected to be at the peak of the Star State!
Why did such two monsters come to Rhea?
