Chapter 414: A Minor Incident (3k)
“This can’t be wasted.”
Taking out a tissue from his pocket and gently wiping the blood from his fingertips, Su Jiu took a photo of the corpse and uploaded it to the APP to earn tens of thousands of merit points.
“Stop staring, arresting the remaining Ancient God Sect members disguised as flight attendants is the right thing to do.”
He glanced at the stunned Aunt Xue, then gently pushed Li Na away, and turned to slowly walk back the way he came.
“Holy shit! That girl turned around, is she still planning to kill us?”
“Miss Li Na, why aren’t you stopping her!”
“If she can kill the chief steward, she might be at the Battle King Level! I’m scared!”
The crowd was startled by her turning around, and they quickly retracted their heads, closing the door as well, afraid that the girl in front of them would execute them all.
“You dare to ignore me? Aunt Xue, hurry up and act!”
Li Na, having been pushed back half a step, had a dazed look in her eyes. She turned to look at the equally stunned Aunt Xue. Seeing her hesitate to act, her beautiful face turned ashen, filling her with anger and indignation.
As a young lady and a big celebrity, she was used to being fawned over by ordinary people, so she couldn’t tolerate this insult.
“You really don’t know what’s good for you. Not only are you not dealing with the remaining Ancient God Sect members disguised as flight attendants, but you’re also speaking to your savior like this.”
Hearing the voice, Su Jiu paused slightly, glanced at the person in front of her, and replied casually before ignoring her and walking back the way she came.
“Heh, you saved me? By acting before the flight attendant could react?”
Hearing Su Jiu’s words, Li Na couldn’t help but chuckle with anger. She then looked at the elites of the Law Enforcement Hall, gritted her teeth, pointed at Su Jiu’s retreating back, and said in a deep voice, “All of you, stop her. If I don’t bring you to justice for killing our low-ranking Law Enforcement Hall members, I’ll write my name backward!”
As soon as Li Na’s reprimand fell, the elites of the Law Enforcement Hall appeared with a “whoosh” sound, blocking Su Jiu’s path and even surrounding her.
The Law Enforcement Hall elites blocking Su Jiu’s path were almost all at the Intermediate War General level. Moreover, with the precedent of the chief steward, they were all very cautious, leaning back and even using external qi shields to protect their vulnerable parts like their necks and eyes.
“Miss, please stay put as per the Young Lady’s orders.”
The leader of these Law Enforcement Hall elites was a young man around Li Na’s age. He {or She} extended a hand wearing a black glove and said faintly.
At this moment, as if emboldened by the presence of the Law Enforcement Hall elites, the onlookers who had been watching the show quietly opened the doors, seemingly wanting to see how the Law Enforcement Hall would punish this girl who had killed a police officer.
“Is this also your intention?”
However, the tense atmosphere that everyone expected did not spread. Su Jiu ignored the team leader and turned around, looking at the stunned Aunt Xue in the distance, and asked softly.
Afterward, the nails on her two fingers, adorned with a butterfly orchid imprint, tapped against each other, making a “dada” sound with a good rhythm and cadence.
“I, you… was that flight attendant really from the Ancient God Sect?”
Hearing Su Jiu’s question, Aunt Xue quickly reacted, looking uncertainly at the token on Su Jiu’s waist, unable to make up her mind. In her opinion, Su Jiu’s age shouldn’t warrant having that token—
But seeing the token was like seeing the person. The raven feather symbol seemed to prove that she was the true owner.
A Night Watcher Elder!
A top expert with the strength of a High-Rank Battle King!
If the girl in front of her was truly a Night Watcher Elder, then it was highly likely that she had saved her young lady’s life.
“Aunt Xue! Father asked you to be my personal bodyguard, not to ponder the ravings of a madwoman!” Seeing Su Jiu ignore her and look directly at Aunt Xue, Li Na’s delicate young face contorted with anger. But before she could finish, a cold sensation touched her neck, and a hint of warmth seeped out.
“Shut up! If you don’t believe me, you can have someone search that person for any Ancient God Sect tokens.”
Under many watchful eyes, Su Jiu, as if a ghost, held her fingernail against Li Na’s neck, then used her dad shoes to pull up half of the chief steward’s sleeve, pointing at the tattoo on his thick arm, and said faintly,
“Look here, do you understand? The flight attendants who passed by earlier also had this.”
With that, Su Jiu calmly walked towards the path surrounded by the Law Enforcement Hall elites.
Li Na lowered her head slightly, a very shallow bleeding wound on her neck. She hadn’t heard a single word Su Jiu said. She suddenly felt overwhelmed with a sense of injustice. Since childhood, who had dared to treat her like this?
“Those were just a few lessons. If you continue to block my way, don’t blame me for taking real action.”
A faint, cold female voice, carrying a warning, sounded in front of her, making Li Na tremble involuntarily, her pupils widening slightly. She… almost died?
“You dare to lay a hand on the Young Lady?!”
The Law Enforcement Hall elites naturally noticed the minor scratch on Li Na’s neck. The young man leading them immediately, disregarding that Aunt Xue hadn’t given the order, shouted angrily and then turned into an afterimage, charging towards Su Jiu.
As soon as he made his move, the sound of breaking wind echoed through the train aisle. His ponytail swayed, and a powerful sweeping kick hit the young man’s abdomen. The explosive power instantly made him curl up like a shrimp.
Following that with a “bang!”, everyone saw the team leader who had stepped forward heavily collide with the train wall, which was constructed with special materials, and fall into a deep sleep like an infant.
“I tried to help you out of kindness, but I got a bunch of fools and ungrateful scoundrels in return. If you still don’t move aside, I’ll beat you all up too.”
Su Jiu looked coldly at the Law Enforcement Hall elites surrounding her, a look of impatience in her eyes. She had originally planned to prepare a suitable outfit to meet Bai Zhi, but now her plans were all disrupted by these fools.
Hearing Su Jiu’s words, Aunt Xue also reacted and quickly shouted to the Law Enforcement Hall elites surrounding Su Jiu, “Disperse! You can’t afford to offend this adult! And she’s right, that chief steward was most likely impersonated. The real chief steward has likely been killed, or hidden somewhere.”
The Law Enforcement Hall elites did not dare to question Aunt Xue’s words. They exchanged glances and quickly made way for Su Jiu. Anyone whom Aunt Xue called “Adult,” regardless of their identity, was not someone they, as mere subordinates, could provoke.
Seeing the path cleared again, Su Jiu bowed to Aunt Xue and then walked back the way she came, preparing to use some materials to make clothes suitable for a banquet at that grand hotel.
Watching Su Jiu’s receding figure, Li Na pressed her bleeding wound with a tissue and looked at the blood-stained tissue, trembling slightly. She said to Aunt Xue with a confused and deep voice, “Aunt Xue! Why did you let her leave? She attacked me! And she killed a flight attendant!”
As Li Na’s words fell, the elite members and the onlookers all turned their gazes towards Aunt Xue like chopsticks falling into a holder, seemingly wanting a reasonable explanation.
Hearing this, Aunt Xue shook her head helplessly, looking at the chief steward’s arm with a hint of lingering fear, and said, “Our country has clear regulations that people in police work are not allowed to have tattoos. The previous flight attendants also had tattoos. They were most likely, as that adult said—members of the Ancient God Sect.”
“No wonder I felt something was off…”
At Aunt Xue’s explanation, an elite member of the Law Enforcement Hall spoke up, as if suddenly enlightened. He then felt a sense of lingering fear, realizing that their young lady had almost disappeared before their eyes.
Aunt Xue waved her hand at the elite members and instructed, “Carry your captain back to rest, and then the remaining people go and catch those who ran away.”
“Yes!” The elite members of the Law Enforcement Hall responded and then headed in the direction of the aisle.
The peeping citizens were also stunned for a moment. Hearing the words “Ancient God Sect,” almost everyone felt a chill in their bones. The chief steward, who had given them a sense of security a moment ago, was now identified as belonging to the most evil organization—the Ancient God Sect. How could any ordinary person accept this?
“He… he’s from the Ancient God Sect?”
Hearing Aunt Xue say that, Li Na looked at the chief steward’s corpse with its throat slit, and a look of fear appeared on her face. She was spoiled, but not stupid.
At this moment, she felt how fortunate it was that she was only pricked on the neck.
After all, people from the Dragon Country liked to compromise.
Suddenly, she thought of a very important matter. She swallowed and looked at the empty aisle where the figure had disappeared. She turned to Aunt Xue and asked curiously, “Aunt Xue, is she the daughter of an elder from our Law Enforcement Main Hall? Why do you, as the main elder of a branch hall, call her ‘Adult’?”
“Daughter of an Elder?”
Hearing Li Na’s question, Aunt Xue was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and shook her head. Then, she said with a serious expression, slowly enunciating each word, “If she were an elder’s daughter, I wouldn’t call her ‘Adult.’ You should know that her status is equivalent to that of an ordinary elder in the main hall. As for more, I probably can’t say.”
The appearance of a Night Watcher Elder usually meant a mission of classified importance. If she were to leak her whereabouts because of herself, Aunt Xue couldn’t even imagine the consequences.
Upon hearing Aunt Xue’s reply, Li Na was very surprised. After the surprise came a deep sense of relief. If the other party was truly on par with the elders of the headquarters, then she would be at least Intermediate Battle King or above, and she still didn’t haggle with her.
She glanced at the still messy corridor, took a deep breath, and returned to her room dejectedly. After confirming that no one was around, she returned a missed call from earlier and said slowly:
“Hello, brother, something happened here so I couldn’t answer your call…”
Then, the next moment, as if hearing some good news, Li Na suddenly stood up, amplified her voice, and her face showed a look of surprise and joy, “You invited all the influential people in the city, and even specially customized an open-air stage for me?!”
