Chapter 53: Good Person! Bad Person!

~7 min read 1,336 words

Being escaped by Xie Yaoyao right under his nose made Mashiu, who had always considered himself strict in law enforcement, extremely annoyed.

After collecting the corpses of the innocently dead residents, Mashiu returned to the City Guard Tribunal with a gloomy face.

Who would have thought that just after returning to the Tribunal, he would see the Snake Gang, which he had always despised, send a lackey to ask Stidanli for help, saying that an outsider Traveler was causing trouble at their base.

Mashiu immediately realized that this Traveler causing trouble should be the one who wantonly killed people and resisted arrest while fleeing on the street under the guise of a Baron.

So Mashiu immediately insisted on appearing outside the Snake Gang's base with Stidanli, despite Stidanli's extremely resistant expression.

Sure enough, just after arriving at the Snake Gang's base, Mashiu saw through the wide-open gate that the guy was manipulating a huge man-eating flower to try to kill another Traveler.

Without hesitation, Mashiu swung a wave of Battle Qi to force back the wanton and arrogant Baron and saved the Traveler who was about to be swallowed by the man-eating flower.

The silvery-white Battle Qi sliced across the relatively slender roots of the man-eating flower, and the huge flower fell to the ground with the thin Traveler.

Xie Yaoyao took a step back, dodging Mashiu's Battle Qi attack, and looked at the City Guards surrounding him with interest.

Mashiu and Stidanli walked into the courtyard together.

"Baron, Lachika City is not a place for you to act wantonly; anyone who commits a crime here will be punished by the law."

Seeing his trusted subordinate squeezing his eyes at him from behind Captain Stidanli, Lin You was moved to tears.

What is a 'one of our own'? This is a 'one of our own'!

Once I, the boss, get through this hurdle, I'll promote you and give you a raise immediately!

"Wah!"

A heaven-shaking cry came from Lin You's mouth.

"Captain Stidanli, Captain Mashiu, you must uphold justice for me! This lunatic started killing wantonly as soon as he came in; look around, these are all the kind people he ruthlessly killed! He even wanted to kill me, he even wanted to kill me; he is a demon, Lachika City needs order, please punish the murderer severely!"

Mashiu and Stidanli saw the corpses hanging on the spiked vines as soon as they entered the courtyard.

The other party was a spellcaster, which made all the City Guards extremely nervous.

Everyone knew the power of a spellcaster; if things went wrong, they might also be hung up there and sucked into a dried corpse.

And the other party had a title, which was very difficult to handle.

"Presumptuous! You lowly commoner, who gave you the guts to dare to falsely accuse a noble? I'm going to send you to the gallows!"

No one expected that Captain Stidanli, who came in with Mashiu, would turn around and scold Lin You, and then he fawned over Xie Yaoyao.

"Baron, it is truly my dereliction of duty to make you feel unhappy. Please rest assured, this group of rats in the sewer will definitely receive the punishment they deserve!"

Captain Stidanli's words shocked the whole scene into silence; even Xie Yaoyao looked at this City Guard captain who suddenly showed favor with a confused face.

Lin You, who had been interrupted halfway through his crying, was even more shocked on the spot, even forgetting to sniff back the snot running into his mouth.

Not big brother, I'm the victim!

Don't you see the dried corpses hanging in mid-air all over the courtyard?

Aren't you the protective umbrella for my black evil forces?

Aren't you the reinforcements I invited back?

"Uh! This... may I ask?"

"Stidanli, Baron, I am a captain of the Lachika City Guard, a loyal soldier of the Kingdom!"

"Captain Stidanli, hello, what is this?"

"Ah! Baron, I received news today that these dirty bugs were engaging in criminal activities here, so I personally led a team to arrest them; I didn't expect to save you by coincidence, this is truly an incredible fate!"

Saved me?

Xie Yaoyao looked around blankly!

Thanks!

At this time, the other captain leading the team, Mashiu, finally couldn't stand his colleague's clumsy performance anymore.

"Captain Stidanli, please get one thing straight: this Baron is currently a suspect in the murder of citizens, and there are two victims and witnesses here; please do not shield the criminal."

Mashiu's words made Lin You, who was in a semi-dazed state, immediately come back to his senses; he fiercely sniffed back the snot by his mouth and shouted loudly.

"Right, I am a victim, I demand a fair trial, I want to testify that he killed people!"

Stidanli glared severely at the shouting Lin You, and just as he opened his mouth to say something, he was interrupted by Mashiu on the side.

"Captain Stidanli, now there are corpses, victims, and witnesses; if you are determined to engage in favoritism, I will go to the Viscount to report you."

(Setting: The highest official of the City Guard is a Viscount, who will not appear later.)

Mashiu's words made Stidanli furious, but he didn't dare to ignore the law too much, so he could only look at Xie Yaoyao with an ugly expression.

At this time, Xie Yaoyao also understood what was going on; this Captain Stidanli should usually be a guy good at fawning and flattering, and now he should have been bluffed by his Baron title, plus the other side was a notorious ruffian, so he chose to stand on his side without hesitation.

And the guy named Mashiu should be a captain with more bottom lines, who was more persistent about his killing, but from the fact that he also kept calling him 'Baron', it seemed his title really had some use.

Xie Yaoyao shook his head and laughed; the world is sometimes like this, this good-person captain actually also had to firmly maintain the interests of bad people, even if he knew in his heart what kind of goods he was maintaining.

"Captain Mashiu, right? May I ask, if a noble is stolen from by thieves, does he not have the power to take back his property? And in the process of taking back the property, these thief gangs were preparing to kill this noble."

Xie Yaoyao said, pointing to the longswords, daggers, and crossbows dropped on the ground.

Stidanli's eyes lit up instantly.

"That's right, no commoner can hurt a noble; this is the law of the Kingdom. Captain Mashiu, I think you are very clear about this point."

Xie Yaoyao originally wanted to show off the bump on the back of his head, but thought about it and decided against it; it was too embarrassing.

Huh!

He touched it; it had already gone down!

Oh, then it's fine!

Mashiu hated these Travelers very much, always ignoring the law and rules by relying on force; he didn't expect to run into a cunning one today.

"Baron, may I ask what evidence you have to prove that your property was infringed upon by thieves?"

Captain Stidanli didn't care about this; in his eyes, there were no ordinary people or Travelers, only nobles and commoners.

"Hey, Mashiu, you and I both know what kind of place this is. Didn't you say you were going to clean this place up before? If it weren't for being stolen from, who would come to this dirty sewer. Right, Baron!"

Xie Yaoyao started to like this guy a bit; sure enough, people are selfish!

If a bad person is good to you, you will also feel that this guy doesn't seem to be that bad!

"I think I have evidence; the thief who stole from me hasn't died yet!"

Xie Yaoyao pointed to the thin monkey who had just crawled out of the man-eating flower's big mouth, his smile carrying some inexplicable meaning. ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
