"Leader, didn't you check the cabin just now? Could it be that leader thinks that our Flying Dragon Trading Company is easy to bully? Do you think that you can just play around here? "The smile on Elder Xiao's face immediately disappeared and was replaced with coldness.
Feeling the sudden change in the atmosphere, the guards felt as if they had entered an icehouse. The guard leader's heart immediately tightened. He knew that he had already angered the other party.
However, even so, he still didn't give up. Previously, because the ship was filled with people, it was inevitable that there would be people pretending to be on the ship.
But now that the crew had already come out, those people hiding on the ship had nowhere to hide. Therefore, he believed that if he were to search again, he would definitely be able to find those people.
Furthermore, Elder Xiao's anger could perhaps be understood as him purposely scaring him so that he would retreat. So that he would retreat in the face of difficulties. However, he was a stubborn person.
In any case, he had already informed the city lord. If he were to find those fugitives at this moment, it would be a great merit. Perhaps, he could obtain the city lord's guidance and advance to a higher realm.
For his own future, he had to give it a try no matter what.
"Elder Xiao, please don't be angry. I don't have any other intentions. I just don't want to let go of any opportunity for the fugitives to escape. Previously, all of us saw those people boarding the ship with our own eyes. But now, these people have disappeared from the Flying Dragon Trading Company's treasured ship.
If we don't find a result today, the reputation of the Flying Dragon Trading Company might be affected. We also hope to clear the Flying Dragon Trading Company's name, "The guard leader clenched his teeth and said under the pressure.
"Good! Clear our Flying Dragon Trading Company's name? Our Flying Dragon Trading Company has always been upright and upright. Since leader is so insistent, we have no reason not to cooperate. Since that's the case, leader, please continue to search! "Elder Xiao sneered.
In any case, Cheng Yu and the others had already left. No matter how they searched, there wouldn't be any results. Just let them search.
However, just as the guards entered the cabin to search again, the City Lord of the City Lord's Mansion, Tian Ba, appeared with his men.
This caused the guard leader to be excited and nervous. Originally, he only wanted to send someone to give it a try. He thought that it was impossible for the city lord to come personally for such a few people.
But he didn't expect that the City Lord would actually come. However, he had yet to find the whereabouts of those people, which made him extremely worried.
If he couldn't find the person, he wouldn't be able to get any credit and would be punished instead.
"City Lord!" The captain respectfully knelt on one knee and said.
"Get up. I heard that you've found the whereabouts of those people?" City Lord Tianba said calmly as he looked at the captain of the guards.
Although the City Lord of Skysea City, Tianba, had a heroic and domineering name, and those who didn't know him would think that he was a very boorish person, he looked more like a gentle and refined scholar.
"Greetings, City Lord Tian!" Elder Xiao cupped his fist and saluted Tian Ba.
In terms of realm, his realm was a level higher than Tianba's. He could be said to be Tianba's senior. However, in terms of status, as the City Lord of a city, Tianba's status was indeed much higher than that of an elder of a trading company.
Therefore, Elder Xiao had to bow to Tianba. He had to give face to Tianba.
"Elder Xiao is too polite. I heard from my subordinates that some wanted criminals of the City Lord's Mansion have boarded your trading company's treasure ship. Is this true?" Tianba looked at Elder Xiao and said politely.
Although the Flying Dragon Trading Company was just a trading company, it was still worlds apart compared to his status as a City Lord. However, the Flying Dragon Trading Company was very powerful. Moreover, the Flying Dragon Trading Company's businesses were everywhere in Skysea City, so the taxes paid by the Flying Dragon Trading Company were very generous.
Furthermore, the Flying Dragon Trading Company had been collecting high-quality resources for him all these years. Therefore, he couldn't do anything to the Flying Dragon Trading Company now. After all, he still needed to rely on them to improve his strength.
In the eyes of others, the City Lord's Association was backed by a huge force, so no one would dare to do anything to them. Some people even thought that his current cultivation had been nurtured by the force behind him.
In fact, only he knew the hardships. In front of that powerful force, he was just a dog supported by the other party.
Although they would get some precious resources every year, these resources were far less valuable than the resources they handed over.
Because to them, it didn't matter who became the City Lord of this city. As long as they could complete the resources they handed over every year, it would be enough.
Therefore, this City Lord seemed to be glorious, but a large part of the resources he had accumulated over the years had actually been taken away by this force.
As for his current cultivation, it was because of the support of the big trading companies like the Flying Dragon Trading Company that came to Skysea City to do business. And this Flying Dragon Trading Company was one of the strongest among the big trading companies.
Right now, his strength was still not strong enough. Therefore, he still needed to rely on the Flying Dragon Trading Company and didn't want to offend them.
However, this time, the people they were looking for were very important to him. They were the people that the force behind them paid attention to.
As for those people who were killed by Cheng Yu, they didn't have the face to ask Tianba to look for these murderers because of their deaths.
However, outsiders didn't know all of this. They only thought that he was doing it for the sake of his dead subordinates. This also won him the loyalty of his subordinates. Everyone thought that he, Tianba, was a virtuous master
Speaking of this, City Lord Tian came at the right time. This captain kept insisting that the people your City Lord Mansion is looking for were on our ship. However, we have never seen these people. For them, I called all the crew members on the ship to cooperate with him.
However, he also confirmed that these people were not the people they were looking for. However, they now proposed to enter the cabin to look for them. Although I agreed to his request, now that City Lord Tian is here, shouldn't you uphold justice for our Flying Dragon Trading Company?
Our Flying Dragon Trading Company has been operating in Heaven-sea City for so many years, and we have always abided by the rules. We have never been late in paying taxes to the City Lord's Mansion. However, the people of the City Lord's Mansion treat our Flying Dragon Trading Company in such a manner. This is really disappointing! "Elder Xiao said as he looked at Tianba.
Hearing Elder Xiao's words, Tianba's complexion turned somewhat ugly. Originally, he heard someone report that he saw those criminals on the ship with his own eyes. But now, he didn't find them. Instead, he gave others a chance to speak. His good mood immediately disappeared.
As for the Guard Captain, his complexion also turned ashen when he heard this. He was extremely angry. This person surnamed Xiao was clearly the one who complained first.
