I have no control over it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued, cleverly using the Colossus’ invasion as an excuse for the new changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was such a flawless and logical reason that Jace nearly believed it if it weren’t for the fact that he knew how bullshit it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—\" Just when Jace was about to continue the argument, Jessica suddenly stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been silent for a while now, but she had finally decided to take over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those words... Can I take it as an interpretation that the Aetheria Empire refuses to acknowledge Star Falls City and its contribution?\" Jessica stared at the guard with a calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the calmness in her tone, the guard quickly regretted acting too hasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Shit, I’ve forgotten about this receptionist.’ The guard cursed inwardly. While he could easily alienate Xu Feng because of his accused status, he couldn’t possibly do the same to Jessica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she might be just a receptionist, the mere fact that she belonged to the Adventure Guild and represented Star Falls City was not something he could touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Adventure Guild was a neutral power, but everyone knew better than to offend a receptionist there, especially when one was very reputable and influential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard gritted his teeth and decided to throw away all pride and shame. \"You can naturally enter, Lady Jessica. But not him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he permitted Jessica, there would be no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This sly guard...’ Jace was also rendered speechless by the guard’s quick thinking feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessica also frowned and was about to lash out. However, before she got the chance to do so, Xu Feng lightly patted her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around, only to see him winking at her, almost as if he was telling her to let him handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a choice, Jessica decided to take a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve never won against him in a verbal fight. This guard is probably nothing to him.’ She thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after Jessica gave the stage to Xu Feng, the latter smirked at the guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re saying the secret passage is only accessible to those in the Count rank and above, or those with significant influence. Is that correct?\" He asked the guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is correct!\" The guard nodded with a resolute expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha!\" Almost immediately, Xu Feng started laughing loudly. His laughter reverberated in the area and lasted for quite a few seconds before he snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you confirmed my question, why hadn’t you let me pass?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? But you’re just a Viscount, not a Count!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know that. I’m not saying I have access from the nobility rank, but rather from the significant influence I have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-what?\" The guard was quickly startled by Xu Feng’s words. He was about to debunk his so-called influence, but was a little bit too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you not seen the crowd outside?\" Xu Feng questioned coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard trembled at the sudden chillness in the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xu Feng gave no qualms and continued to deliver a series of speeches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And have you not seen the type of people sitting inside right now? They’re all waiting for me to show up. If that’s not having a significant influence, then who else has? It can’t be your mother who decided to carry you for 9 months before giving birth to you, right? Although your mother should be commended for being a noble Teresa, you are a disgrace on the other hand, being a lapdog for another person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the guard’s face had twisted into an ugly expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than the fact that he was directly insulted for being a lapdog, he couldn’t refute his other harsh words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it was impressive how Xu Feng silenced the haughty guard, Jessica couldn’t contemplate his motive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there really a need to have such a long debate with the guard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What is he up to?’ She found it hard to believe Xu Feng would be wasting his time on a lowly guard dog for the secret passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometime later, the guard was basically gobsmacked by Xu Feng’s argument that he fell on his butt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t resort to violence either because Xu Feng was ultimately still a Viscount. Moreover, he hadn’t been handed the guilty verdict, which meant he was still innocent until proven guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just go...\" The guard relented. He feared that his life would chip away if he continued to argue with him. In fact, he wanted him gone already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, he could just shove all the blame on Captain Jace, who led them here through the secret passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, didn’t you say I’m not qualified?\" Contrary to the guard’s expectation, Xu Feng didn’t walk away and calmly asked about the criteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—!\" Unable to handle the humiliation, the guard began to foam and fainted on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow. \"He really fainted?? How weak is his mentality?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard’s reaction was completely out of his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just what were you trying to achieve?\" Jessica approached him with a baffled look. \"It can’t be that you really got offended by this guard’s action, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, not.\" Xu Feng chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve merely wanted to use this guard as a debate practice tool for the upcoming court.\" He explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the court hearing was never about evidence, but whose verbal argument was more convincing.\u003C\u002Fp>",1015,"2026-05-30T17:23:34.292Z","2026-06-01T04:31:46.889Z",1,"novelbin.me","43d16f468eaa40e3afabd051ec7c870a9afd984ce501190a149c19b3e619741d","reincarnation-of-the-strongest-healer-chapter-1444","reincarnation-of-the-strongest-healer-chapter-1442",1471,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnation-of-the-strongest-healer-cover.jpg"]
