Just as Margaret and the others came downstairs, they heard an arrogant voice in the hall, "Where's the person in charge? Tell him to come out. What's there to say about today's matter? "
When Margaret heard this voice, her expression turned ugly. She quickly walked into the hall with Xin Pu and Zhao Hai following behind her.
Upon arriving at the hall, Zhao Hai saw the guards. He couldn't help but sigh. Just as he imagined, the leader of the guards was a fat man. He had a round head and no neck. He had two round eyes, a round body, round arms, and round belly. He looked like a meatball.
At this time, Xin Pu quickly walked forward and gave a salute to the person, "Sir Officer, what brings you here? You're giving me too much face by coming to this broken place." Xin Pu nodded and said, "Sir Officer, what brings you here?
The meatball looked at Xin Pu, then he rolled his eyes and said, "Xin Pu, you old man. Today, you have to make things clear. What's going on here?"
Without waiting for Xin Pu to speak, Margaret's voice was heard, "Who are you? What's your name? Let's see if my Ashley Family can afford it. "
Hearing Margaret's words, the meatball finally noticed her. He blinked his bean-sized eyes and threw a glance at Margaret. His eyes turned green like a hungry wild wolf who had seen a little white sheep.
The meatball immediately replied, "Is this beautiful lady asking me? I'm the Western District Guard of Mine City, Zhu Dachang! "
"Hahahaha!" Upon hearing this name, Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the meatball and said, "Pig Intestine? You're actually called Pig Intestine? Hahaha. This name is quite interesting. "
Margaret's face also showed a smile. However, she endured it, causing her face to turn red. Zhu Dachang wasn't happy, he blushed and said, "It's Zhu Dachang, not Pig Intestine. Kid, you're courting death!"
Margaret coldly snorted and said, "I don't care if it's Zhu Dachang or Pig Intestine. I just want to ask you a question. When we were attacked, where were you? Those people have already retreated, and now you're here and you're asking us what's going on? Is your surname Zhu or are you really a pig? Why would you ask such a question? "
Zhu Dachang didn't think that Margaret would be so impolite. He was stunned for a moment. After a while, Zhu Dachang angrily said, "Impudent! Who do you think you are? You're just a teacher of the Ascension Academy, yet you dare to talk to me like that? How dare you! "
Zhao Hai looked at Zhu Dachang and couldn't help but sigh. He was now certain that the Zhang Family must have bribed this stupid police officer to act so unscrupulously.
Zhao Hai coughed and said, "Sir, please allow me to interrupt you. This is Margaret, a teacher of our Ancient Ascension Academy. At the same time, she's also the sixth miss of the Ashley Family. Today, those people came to assassinate the young miss. Have you thought about it? If Miss Margaret was assassinated here, would the Ashley family let go of Sir? Even if Sir has a backer, I wonder if that backer of yours would offend the entire Ashley Family because of you, Sir? "
If he was talking to a smart person, then Zhao Hai wouldn't have said so much. But since Zhu Dachang was speaking, Zhao Hai had no choice but to speak in detail so that Zhu Dachang wouldn't understand.
When Zhu Dachang heard Zhao Hai, his red face turned pale. Just as Zhao Hai said, he was able to become a police officer here because he had someone above him. His brother-in-law was a Bishop of the Fire God Temple. Although he didn't have a high position, he was still in charge of the planet. Because of this, Zhu Dachang was placed in the western region of the planet as a police officer.
Although Zhu Dachang was as stupid as a pig, he wasn't ignorant. The Ashley Family was a branch of the Dark Temple. In the Machine Field, they weren't a small force. Although his brother-in-law was a Bishop of the Fire God Temple, he wouldn't go to war with the Ashley Family for Zhu Dachang.
When he thought of this, Zhu Dachang couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. At the same time, he cursed the people who gave him money. Those people didn't tell him about Margaret's identity, they only said that she was from the Ancient Ascension Academy. Zhu Dachang thought that it wasn't a big deal, so he didn't take it to heart. But now that Zhao Hai pointed out Margaret's identity, Zhu Dachang couldn't help but be afraid.
Zhu Dachang wiped his cold sweat and then said to Margaret, "I've seen Miss Margaret. Miss Margaret, I'm really sorry. I didn't know that you were here. And unfortunately, today is the day of the Western Region's quarterly drill. Because of this, I wasn't able to come early. I hope Miss Margaret can forgive me."
Margaret coldly snorted and said, "Officer Zhu, I was attacked here, but you're acting like I committed a crime. How do you want to solve this? What do you mean by that? Could it be that you want me to compensate you for your losses? "
Zhu Dachang quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare. I just came here to ask a routine question. I wouldn't dare ask Miss Margaret to compensate for my losses. Miss Margaret can rest assured, I'll go back and have someone investigate this matter. I'll certainly give Miss Margaret a satisfactory answer."
Zhao Hai nodded. Although this fatty was stupid, he wasn't that stupid. His excuse wasn't bad, and his answer was still acceptable.
Zhao Hai went to Margaret's side and said, "Teacher, this isn't the right time to make an enemy." Then he went back.
When Margaret heard Zhao Hai, she could only suppress her anger as she said, "Since it's like this, then I won't say anything else. But I ask Officer Zhu to give me an answer. Otherwise, my Ashley Family will certainly pursue this matter."
Zhu Dachang wiped his sweat and said, "Yes, yes, Miss Margaret can rest assured." Margaret snorted and then turned around to leave. Naturally, Zhao Hai also followed her.
After seeing Margaret, Zhu Dachang let out a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and turned to Simpson, "Brother Simpson, I really have to thank you this time. If you didn't protect Miss Margaret and something happened to her, then I would've been done for. Thank you very much."
Xin Pu smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, to be honest, I really didn't know about Miss Margaret's identity. I just wanted to be responsible for the people living here, so I protected them. Now that I think about it, I'm a bit scared. If something happened to Miss Margaret, then my old bones would be torn apart by the Ashley Family." Xin Pu smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, to be honest, I really didn't know about Miss Margaret's identity.
Zhu Dachang wiped his sweat again and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank you this time. Alright, I won't say anything else. I have to go back and see if those bastards left or not." Then he turned around and ran out. Although he was running, his running speed wasn't slow. In the blink of an eye, he ran outside and sat in his flying car. Then the car flew away.
Simpson looked at the escaping Zhu Dachang and sneered, "Thank me? Hmph, you should think about how to get through this first. Do you really think that the Ashley Family is that easy to talk to? Stupid pig. "
Then Xin Pu walked towards the dining hall. Xin Pu didn't know about Margaret's identity before, but after hearing Zhao Hai's words, he knew that this humble teacher of the Ascension Academy was actually the Ashley Family's Sixth Miss. Her identity was extraordinary, at the very least, she wasn't someone that a nobody like him can afford to offend.
It didn't take long before Margaret arrived at the dining hall. At this time, Crick had already called the crew to the dining hall. When Margaret and Zhao Hai appeared in the dining hall, the panicked crew immediately calmed down. Their hearts that were hanging in the air also calmed down.
At this time, Simpson came in and said to Margaret, "Miss Margaret, this old man didn't know about your identity before. If I offended you, please forgive me!"
Margaret shook her head and said, "No, Mister Simpson, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, my crew would have been in danger."
Then footsteps were heard. Margaret and Simpson turned their heads and saw that it was the crew that went out with Zhao Hai.
These crew members had been hiding in a tavern in a small alley for more than two hours. Although they were afraid, the skeleton didn't move, so they didn't dare to go out. Later on, when the skeleton went out, they knew that there was no danger. They immediately followed it back to the reception area. When they arrived at the reception area, the skeleton disappeared. When they entered the reception area, they were immediately told by the robot to gather at the dining hall.
When Zhao Hai saw them, he smiled and signaled them to enter the dining hall. When these people saw that Zhao Hai and Margaret were safe, they felt relieved. They bowed to Margaret and then turned to enter the dining hall.
Zhao Hai saw that Margaret seemed to have something to say, so he didn't stand behind her. Instead, he gave her a salute and sat down with the other crew members at the table.
Margaret looked at Zhao Hai but didn't say anything. Although she liked Zhao Hai, she also knew that it wasn't good to be too enthusiastic with Zhao Hai at this time.
After everyone sat down, Margaret looked at them and said, "Today was a very dangerous day. Zhao Hai and I were assassinated. Even the reception area was attacked. Fortunately, with Mister Simpson's help, we were able to avert the danger. You don't need to worry anymore. This time, there were 100 people who came to assassinate us. 80 of them were killed by me and Zhao Hai. Moreover, the family's support will arrive tomorrow, so we don't need to worry anymore."
Upon hearing Margaret, everyone cheered. However, Xin Pu was startled. Xin Pu fought with these people today, so he knew how strong they were. However, he didn't think that there would be 100 of them. This was almost equal to the strength of a small force. What surprised him the most was that Margaret said that they had already killed 80 of them. This made him very surprised.
80 3rd and 4th rank Mages, this was a force that couldn't be underestimated. But Margaret was only a 4th rank Mage, while Zhao Hai was only a 1st rank Mage. Simpson was very curious about how the two of them managed to kill 80 people.
Margaret waited for everyone to calm down before she continued, "This time, it can be said that our trip was very thrilling. But I think that from now on, there won't be any more dangers. Today, I called everyone to the dining hall because I want to treat everyone to a good meal. Mister Simpson, I'll have to trouble you this time. If you have anything good to eat, please don't hesitate to send it over." Margaret nodded and said, "Alright.
Simpson laughed and said, "Being able to gather with everyone today is fate. This meal is on this old man. Please wait a moment, it will be served immediately." Then he turned around and walked out.
At this time, Margaret turned to everyone and said, "Alright, before the dishes are served, if you want to drink, you don't have to be polite with me. Captain Crick, Mister Zhao Hai, Mister Kahn, and Mister Inoue, please come to this table and sit down. I have something to say to you."
Zhao Hai, Crick, and the first and second mates of the ship sat down at the table that Margaret pointed at. After everyone sat down, Margaret said, "Today's matter was very dangerous. But we have to thank Mister Zhao Hai. If it wasn't for Mister, then we would have been in danger."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Teacher is too polite. I'm now a member of the Ashley Family. Naturally, I have to contribute my strength. Also, those people included me. If I don't resist, then I would be the one to die."
Margaret shook her head and said, "Having said that, I still have to thank Mister. If it wasn't for Mister, then casualties would have been inevitable. Mister can rest assured that in the future, Mister will have the greatest freedom in the academy. Even if Mister enters the Bone Symbol Camp, you will still receive the best treatment."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Then I'll have to thank Teacher Margaret."
Margaret shook her head and said, "Zhao Hai, I called you here today because I want to tell you that Mr. Crick and the others are also people of the Bone Symbol Camp. Although you haven't officially joined the camp, I already consider you as one of us. If you have any problems in the future, you can ask the three of them for help. If the three of them ask for your help, then please don't refuse. The Bone Symbol Camp is very united. If one person is in trouble, then the whole camp will help. I hope you can remember this." Margaret shook her head and said, "You're not a member of the Bone Symbol Camp.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher can rest assured. I will remember."
Margaret nodded and said, "Zhao Hai, can you estimate how many months it will take for you to leave the academy? I think you need to adapt to the density of spiritual qi in the Machine Field. I don't think it will take too long, right? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher is right. Right now, I just need to adapt to the Machine Field's spiritual qi density. It shouldn't take more than a few months for me to graduate." Zhao Hai nodded.
Margaret nodded and said, "After we return to the academy, I'll give you some information about the Bone Symbol Camp. I hope you can take a good look at it and understand what kind of dangers you'll encounter in the Bone Symbol Camp."
As they were talking, some robots began to serve them food. The atmosphere in the dining hall immediately became lively.
