Chapter 35

Han Feng said with a faint smile.

It seems the fusion with Qin went quite well.

"Conqueror's Haki?"

A trace of doubt rose in Qin's heart.

She had never seen this in the manga.

The most she had seen were Devil Fruits.

For example, the Traveler had that Wind-Wind Fruit—she had seen it.

"These manga will mention it later. Haki is a potential ability humans are born with in the manga. It's divided into Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and the Conqueror's Haki you've obtained.

Conqueror's Haki is a kind of kingly qualification. Those who possess it need not lift a finger; relying on their own 'spirit and presence,' they can intimidate, overawe, and knock out their opponents. It can cause opponents far weaker than themselves to faint.

And when Conqueror's Haki clashes, its power is enough to tear the sky apart!"

Han Feng patiently explained, "What just happened with you was an initial awakening, so it was released unconsciously. Once you've mastered it skillfully, you'll understand."

"Knocking people out just with presence? Even tearing the sky apart?!"

Qin was also shocked by what Han Feng said.

Is this Conqueror's Haki really that powerful?

It seems she had obtained quite a nice reward.

After calming her emotions, Qin grew excited.

As for the kingly qualification the boss mentioned, she simply ignored it.

Mondstadt is the nation of freedom.

There is no need for a king.

She only needed to accept this power and be able to protect Mondstadt.

Just as she was sighing in emotion, several uninvited guests appeared outside the Worry-Free Bookshop.

"It's the Fatui!"

Lisa slightly furrowed her brow.

Clearly, she hadn't expected the other side to find this place.

Could they also have heard about the manga shop's wonders and come to read manga?

"They must be here for me."

Acting Grand Master Qin took a deep breath and said apologetically to Han Feng, "Boss, I'm sorry for leading some unpleasant people here. I'll go deal with it now."

She didn't want the Fatui's matter to cause Boss Han's opinion of Mondstadt to drop.

That was absolutely not what she wanted.

It would also be Mondstadt's loss.

"Go ahead!"

Han Feng nodded.

He also wanted to see whether Qin, who had obtained Conqueror's Haki, would still let the Fatui bully her at her doorstep like in the original plot.

"Tsk tsk, Mondstadt is currently under the threat of the Stormterror Dragon, and yet you, as Acting Grand Master, actually have the mind to read books here?"

Anastasia's tone was somewhat contemptuous.

However, she glanced at Han Feng in confusion.

Who is this person?

The owner of the bookshop?

But why could an owner make the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius so respectful?

"This is my private matter. What is your purpose?"

Acting Grand Master Qin said neither servile nor overbearing.

"Our attitude is just this—if you cannot immediately exterminate the rampaging dragon, then hand Mondstadt's city defense over to the Fatui.

Mondstadt's dragon calamity can be handled. We just need to take that beast..."

"Beast?"

Hearing this, Qin, who had originally been calm, grew stern and directly cut off Anastasia's words.

"Hmm? What does the Acting Grand Master mean?"

Anastasia put her hands on her hips, her tone quite disdainful.

"Huff..."

Qin took a deep breath, her gaze turning sharp.

"I hope your country's diplomat can show a more professional attitude.

You want to deal with one of Mondstadt's Four Winds?

I don't wish to hear such madness spoken before the Knights of Favonius!"

Because she had fused with Conqueror's Haki, Qin's presence at this moment was extremely powerful.

Coupled with her sharp gaze, Anastasia felt a bit of fear in her heart

Why has Mondstadt suddenly become so assertive?

But thinking of the Lady behind her, and the Tsaritsa of Snezhnaya,

her heart immediately steadied.

A nation without a god—what can it use to oppose them?

"Heh... hehehe... it's not as crazy as you say, is it?"

"Very well. Today's consultation ends here!

"Hmph, I will record it truthfully."

Anastasia's tone also grew domineering.

"As for what actions the Yurenzhong Society will take then, that remains to be seen."

Having spoken, Anastasia prepared to lead everyone away.

Since the other party was so ungrateful, they were prepared to use their own methods.

Deal directly with the Stormterror!

Once the Stormterror incident is resolved by outsiders, the reputation of the Knights of Favonius will undoubtedly be trampled into the dirt.

At that time, cooperating with the old nobles like the Lawrence clan, the city defense map of Mondstadt will sooner or later fall into their hands.

If that day truly comes, Mondstadt will be in danger!

Jean could obviously guess this point as well.

Previously, due to their weakness, Mondstadt had always been lenient in this regard.

Diluc had once said that the Knights of Favonius had always been timid and inefficient regarding the Stormterror issue.

And in diplomacy, they were weak and conservative towards the Yurenzhong Society.

Although somewhat helpless, it was the truth!

However, that was the past!

Now, Jean would absolutely not let them be so arrogant in Mondstadt!

"Mondstadt's affairs will be resolved by Mondstadt itself; outsiders have no right to handle them!"

Jean said with resounding force.

"Oh? How do you intend to do it?"

Anastasia turned around and said with a teasing tone.

PS: Thank you all for the data; this small author bows in gratitude.
