Su Luo grinned at him and raised her eyebrows: “Since your grandfather doesn’t want to bet, then let's forget about it. This matter ends here.”
Waving her hand, Su Luo began to leave.
Her tightly clenched fists by her side, slightly unsteady steps, and accelerated pace
visibly portrayed how nervous she was feeling at the moment.
The youth, feeling all the more confident of his conjecture, loudly yelled to stop Su Luo in her tracks: “Stop!”
But Su Luo unexpectedly hastened her pace even more!
The youth bellowed furiously while pointing at the Mission Hall Guards, “This person murdered her teammates and even slandered them! What the heck are you guys doing! Are you actually letting her go???”
In light of the youth's fiery accusations, the guard captain immediately stopped Su Luo from leaving:
“Stop there, Miss.”
Su Luo raised an eyebrow slightly: “Are you guys going to believe whatever he says?”
“Someone reported a problem. Thus, it’s our duty to handle the matter. I hope you will understand and forgive us, Miss.” The guard captain’s had a pretty good attitude.
The guard captain’s abilities were very strong. Even the youngster’s grandfather didn’t have the power to order him around.
Prompted by an impulse, Su Luo asked, “What is your name?”
“Xu Qiang,” the guard captain gave a clear and concise answer.
“Great. When the City Lord comes back, I will put in a few words of praise for you,” Su Luo proclaimed casually.
“Huh?” The guard captain was momentarily stunned by Su Luo’s words.
Compliment him in front of the City Lord? That would simply…… be something out of a dream!
He assumed that Su Luo was trying to bribe him. However, in reality, Su Luo really admired his neither servile nor overbearing attitude towards law enforcement.
Su Luo sauntered unhurriedly to the youth and cast a cold glance at him: “Are you sure that you want to bet?”
The boy sneered: “Let’s bet!”
“In accordance with the earlier stakes?”
“Of course! Listen up! If Chu Yang colluded with the Thorn members, my head will be yours for the taking! However, if you are just framing Chu Yang, you must forfeit your own head!” the youth sneered at Su Luo. “Do you dare to bet with your life?”
“Words carry no weight. I'm afraid you won't honor the terms when you lose,” Su Luo replied unhurriedly, luring the youngster step by step into her trap.
With just one more step, the youth would be jumping into the trap by himself.
This one step didn't even require any intervention from Su Luo, as the youth quickly took a piece of paper from a table at the side and put it in writing on the spot.
Furthermore, he even had his grandfather sign it.
As for Su Luo, the person she was waiting for finally arrived at that moment.
“What’s with this gathering? Are you not working anymore?” An ice-cold voice came from the entrance of the Mission Hall.
Everyone turned around to take a look……
No way! The Eight Elder had actually come in person.
With his hands crossed behind his back, the Eighth Elder walked in slowly at a stable and steady pace.
The youngster’s grandfather hastily bowed respectfully and greeted the Eighth Elder, “Eighth Elder!”
The youngster also hurriedly bowed in response.
“Your grandson?”The Eighth Elder raised an eye towards the youngster’s grandfather.
Grandfather Wang hastily answered, “Yes, this is my grandson, Wang Xiaoyi. Xiaoyi, quickly kneel down and kowtow 1 to the Eighth Elder!”
“No need,” the Eighth Elder said with a wave of his hand. “What were you guys betting about earlier?”
The Eighth Elder didn't greet Su Luo. Thus, no one was aware that he was actually on Su Luo’s side.
Grandpa Wang was just about to use this as an opportunity to terminate the bet. However, having seen through his grandfather’s thoughts, Wang Xiaoyi quickly jumped out: “Eighth Elder, you came at the right time! You are a man of high standing and impartiality. Would it be possible for you to be a witness for this bet?
In order to obtain Fairy Wu You’s affection and attention, Wang Xiaoyi was even willing to resort to the extremes.
