Wang Yu beat the Sacred Hall Squad to a pulp on his own. On top of that, he had already grasped the Sacred Hall Squad’s weaknesses. Naturally, they couldn’t withstand his attacks.

[Dark Barrier]!!

[Thunder Cloud Storm]!!

“[Shadows Chain Kick]!”

Under the squad’s relentless attacks, Rockabye and the others were overwhelmed in white light before they disappeared into the crowd.

The assassins that targeted the City Lord were wiped out. Wang Yu’s [Assassination] effect disappeared with it as he recovered his authority as a City Lord.

“Pah!”

Wang Yu snapped his fingers, imposing martial law on Twilight City’s guards at once.

…

Rockabye and the others were about to leave Twilight City’s resurrection point when the guards blocked their paths using spears.

“What’s going on?”

Rockabye and the others heard of guards restricting movements in the past. However, this was the first time they encountered this. For a moment, they felt bewildered.

When the guards saw Rockabye and the others’ reactions, he responded kindly, “City Lord’s orders! No one is to leave the resurrection point!”

Seeing that he wasn’t a local player, another soldier translated what he said in another language. If they didn’t understand, translating in other languages wouldn’t help. Anyway, they understood the gist. The game’s NPCs were very cordial.

“WTF?”

When Sacred Hall Squad heard that, they panicked immediately.

Heck, he was being chased down by a lunatic. If he didn’t escape at once, he couldn’t get away once the lunatic caught up.

Sacred Hall Squad hadn’t interacted with guards in the past. They didn’t understand their power. When the guards blocked their paths, they refused to listen. Instead, they spread their wings and dashed out immediately. Of course, things didn’t end well. Before they could fly, the guards mercilessly slammed them into the ground.

Jeff was much more composed at the Magic Academy. He shuffled back a few steps and waved his staff, summoning a teleportation gate as he stepped in.

Seeing this, the guards launched their spears at him immediately, tearing Jeff and his teleportation gate to pieces.

That was the power of the guards. All of them had the power to manipulate space. Trying to escape in their face? To prevent Jeff from sending himself to his death, they took the extra step to help him with that.

Every job’s resurrection point was on this street. They were several metres apart from one another while the Sacred Hall Squad turned pale as they watched Jeff die again. All of a sudden, they calmed down.

Damn, it was a bad idea to go against these perverse soldiers.

With this commotion, Wang Yu and Quan Zhen Sect members landed at the entrance of the church as they headed toward Rockabye.

Staring at the approaching Wang Yu, he stared at the men following him as Rockabye’s heart sank into despair.

This was the end. He was trapped and couldn’t escape.

Furthermore, Meng Xi had issued an order for him to capture the Quan Zhen Sect members alive. Rockabye fell into greater despair.

Technically, he stole and assaulted them first. Since his boss told him to die, there was no way he could avoid it. However, he was trapped at the resurrection point. How could he capture them alive? The situation now reversed; he was being captured alive…

“Huh? Capture them alive?”

As he thought about this Rockabye was stunned. It seemed like he suddenly recalled something.

At the same time, Wang Yu and the others walked to Rockabye.

When he saw Wang Yu approach, the vicious guards walked to him hurriedly as they bowed respectfully. “Sir City Lord, is there anything we can do for you?”

Wang Yu pointed at Rockabye, “Bring him here!”

“As you wish!”

The guards bowed to Wang Yu before they pulled Rockabye’s collar, as if they were bringing a chick to Wang Yu.

Under the guards’ hands, Rockabye didn’t even dare to struggle. He looked as if his life had come to an end. Quan Zhen Sect members even felt pity for him.

Finally, Wang Yu softened as he couldn’t bear to see a top-class expert suffer this level of humiliation. He waved at the guards, “Put him down!”

The guards responded as they released Rockabye, and he crashed onto the floor. Quan Zhen Sect members knew that this boy was not simple. Subconsciously, they formed a circle and trapped Rockabye in the centre.

Rockabye crawled to get up as he saw the Quan Zhen Sect members make their move. He hurriedly said, “All of you, if you want to talk, let’s talk peacefully. Violence won’t solve anything.”

“Bullsh*t!” Quan Zhen Sect members hollered angrily, “When you tried to kill us yesterday, why didn’t you do that?”

“It’s a misunderstanding; it’s a huge miscommunication.” Rockabye explained, “That’s because of the boss’ orders. We’re doing this just for the money… In fact, our boss didn’t have any ill intentions when he ordered us to find you.”

No ill intentions; Quan Zhen Sect members believe this. However, their actions were filled with animosity. Wasn’t hunting them down in the city malicious at all?

“Stop your bullsh*tting!” Ming Du swung his staff at Rockabye’s skull as he shouted, “How should we deal with this?”

“We’ll pay you back!” Rockabye continued, “Our boss has lots of money; she really wants to talk to you.”

“What’s there to talk about?” Wang Yu continued irritably, “I want to know why your boss told you to kill us!”

It seemed like Wang Yu was still upset that he was an assassination target.

“Uh…” Quan Zhen Sect members said this after a moment of hesitation. “I think you’d better talk through this. That girl spent so much effort looking for you. She might be one of your fiancees.”

“Yes, exactly!” Rockabye begged. “Our boss is sincere.”

“This…”

When he heard this, Wang Yu rubbed his chin.

Wang Yu was reasonable. The engagement was the Wang family’s fault. It was understandable if she was upset. If he didn’t settle this once and for all, it’d create huge trouble.

Their martial arts foundation wasn’t strong. All of them lowered their heads. Complicating things and forcing the situation to a standstill didn’t do them any good.

After thinking about this for a moment, Wang Yu nodded, “Alright, I’ll have a talk with your boss!”

“That’s great!”

Rockabye planned through it. He asked agitatedly, “Then, where shall we talk? It’s not good to have it here. If we wait a while more, the players will come online.”

“Then, let’s meet at the inn!” Wang Yu replied casually.

“Sure!” Rockabye nodded excitedly before he replied to Meng Xi, “Boss, I’ve captured the Quan Zhen Sect members. We’ll be at the inn. Can you come over?”

…

Within Void Blade’s office, the Captain and Big Bear were emotional over the position of the City Lord. All of a sudden, Captain Don’t Open Fire received a message notification.

“Haha! Did he get the City Lord Seal already?” Captain Don’t Open Fire opened the message excitedly.

“Boss, it’s bad. Quan Zhen Sect has captured the Sacred Hall Squad!”

“!!!”

When he read this, Captain Don’t Open Fire was stunned. He felt like he was struck by lightning.
