“If it were not your brother’s fault, was it our fault?” Steven Thomas interrupted Paige Martin. “We worked so hard to acquire those spirit stone mines, and he just gave them away to those people from Oriana. Aside from that, he even told them the location of the small mine. This is treason!”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Paige Martin shouted again.
“It was you and your cowardice that made people from Oriana intimidate you. You asked my brother to give them the spirit stones! At first, my brother didn’t listen to you. He fought to protect the spirit stones while you all just stood by, not lifting a finger to help. In the end, my brother was outnumbered and had no choice but to let them take the spirit stones. And now, after you guys came back, afraid of taking responsibility, you all unanimously shifted the blame onto my brother. You’re so unfair!”
“That’s just utter nonsense!” Steven Thomas angrily retorted. “You dare to argue after making a mistake, truly ignorant of your own doom!” After saying that, his tone turned serious. “Take her away first, then inform her brother. Let her brother go to the Lord’s Mansion and confess his crimes before releasing her!”
“Yes!” the group nodded in response and moved towards Paige Martin to apprehend her.
“Stop!” Harleen said sternly. “Putting aside whether her brother is at fault or not, even if he is, what does it have to do with her? Who gave you the right to arrest her?”
“Hmm?” Steven Thomas turned his head to look at Harleen. His attention had been solely focused on Paige Martin until now, but at this moment, he finally took in Harleen’s appearance, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. After a brief pause, he spoke in a serious tone. “Who are you? Are you sure you want to meddle in this matter?”
“I don’t need to reveal who I am. What’s important is that you can’t take her away today!”
“Such audacity!” Steven Thomas sneered. “You look unfamiliar, so you must have just arrived in the Polar Domain, right? Let me advise you, don’t lecture me about morality. After coming to the Polar Domain, you must abide by its rules! Otherwise, if you accidentally stir up trouble, no one can help you!”
“From the sound of it, are you implying that even Glavale’s laws don’t apply here?” Ivy looked at him calmly and asked.
“And who are you?” Steven Thomas turned his gaze to Ivy once again, his eyes sparkling.
“You still haven’t answered my question!” Ivy continued, “Are the rules here above the national laws?”
“Don’t try to trap me. There are national laws for the country, and each family has its own rules! Here, we have our own rules!”
“Interesting!” Night Orchid chuckled lightly. “So, you want to be a feudal lord, huh?”
“Insolence!” Steven Thomas shouted angrily. “I advise you to keep your mouth shut and not seek trouble for yourself!”
“Ladies, thank you for your help. Please don’t interfere anymore, or it will bring you big trouble.” Paige Martin said as she walked up to Harleen and the others.
“Who is he?” asked Harleen.
“He’s the young master of the Thomas family! They’re the second most powerful family in this town, second only to the Jackson family. And the two families have a good relationship.”
“No wonder he’s so arrogant!” Felicia sneered. “To not even consider the national laws, it’s quite impressive!”
“Please leave, don’t worry about me…” Paige Martin spoke again.
“I am a doctor, let me take a look at your brother’s injury!” Ivy interrupted her words, “Maybe I can help him!”
“This beautiful lady, are you really a doctor?” Paige Martin was stunned.
“Not only is she a doctor, but she’s a divine one. If you believe us, take us to see your brother!” Harleen smiled lightly.
“Really?!” Paige Martin was delighted.
“Do we look like people who would deceive you?”
“No… no, that’s not what I meant.” Paige Martin quickly shook her head, “Thank you. My home is in the west of the town, I… I’ll take you there!”
Thinking about her brother’s illness, she completely ignored Steven Thomas and his group.
“Then let’s go!” Harleen nodded and looked at Billy, “Billy, let’s go together?”
“Sure.” Billy nodded in response.
After speaking, the group walked towards a street on the left side.
“Stop!” Steven Thomas spoke sternly, “Did I let you go?” After speaking, he looked at his men and shouted, “Stop them, don’t let a single one escape!”
“Boss, should I strike them down?” Azure Fang looked at Billy and asked.
“Give them a lesson!” Billy replied nonchalantly.
Azure Fang nodded, then turned to look at the ten men and women surrounding them, “Ten seconds, if you don’t move aside, you’ll bear the consequences!”
“How arrogant!” one of the men in his thirties snapped, then raised his hand and attacked Azure Fang. The aura around him surged, showing his cultivation at the second rank of the Sovereign realm.
“Get lost!” Azure Fang said coldly, took two steps forward, and unleashed a dozen palm strikes.
In the next moment, all ten men and women were sent flying, one by one, they lay on the ground unable to get up for a while. Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd gasped in unison. On one hand, they were amazed at Azure Fang’s skill, and on the other hand, they were surprised that he actually dared to make a move. Several of these people were young masters from prominent families in this town, their backgrounds were not simple.
“What… what do you want? I warn you, if you dare to touch me, I guarantee you…” Steven Thomas retreated involuntarily as he saw Azure Fang approaching.
Bang! Before he could finish his words, just like the ten people, he quickly flew out and landed on the street a hundred meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“This is just a warning. If you dare to come and die next time, I’ll grant your wish!” Azure Fang said coldly.
“You… you dare to touch me, just you wait…” Steven Thomas got up from the ground and staggered away.
“Sir, you injured Steven Thomas. He won’t let it go, what…” Paige Martin spoke with a worried expression on her face.
“It’s fine, let’s go!” Azure Fang interrupted her.
Then, the group walked towards the west direction of the city. After about thirty to forty minutes, they arrived at an ordinary residential area in the west of the city. Paige Martin led everyone through twists and turns and arrived in front of a building.
“this is my home.” Paige said and led everyone inside.
“Paige, do you and your brother live alone here? What about your parents?” Harleen glanced around the room and realized that it didn’t look like a place where a family lived.
“My parents went on a mission five years ago and fell into Oriana’s ambush. The whole team of ten people died.” Paige Martin’s expression saddened.
“Sorry!” Harleen replied with a slightly stunned expression, her tone heavy.
“It’s okay.”
“Paige, where is your brother?” Ivy asked her.
“He’s in the room!” Paige Martin said and led everyone into the room.
Later, Billy and the others glanced at a young man in his mid-twenties lying on the bed. He looked weak, pale-faced, clearly injured.
