As Jenn's group left in the chariot, a 'tragic' tragedy was unfolding beside the Purple Lily River.
"No …!
My Ark Royal!!! "
Alexander's eyes were bloodshot. He extended his hand in despair and gazed at the wreckage of the ship.
The ship was completely ruined. The huge hull was in tatters and there were ghastly cracks above and below the waterline. River water gushed into the ship through the cracks while the soldiers yelled and tried in vain to stop the ship from sinking further.
However, they were also very clear in their hearts that as long as they weren't fools, they would be able to tell that the ship was completely hopeless.
"My Royal Ark … No!
Why!
Why is this happening! "
Alissanda's wails resounded through the sky. At this moment, he wasn't any better. Although he was the owner of this ship and was immediately rescued by his subordinates, Alissanda himself was also in a sorry state.
He was wearing a suit similar to that of a Navy captain. At this moment, it was already dripping wet, and the back of the coat made of grayish-blue flannelette was also torn into pieces.
He wore a wide-brimmed triangular hat on his head and it looked rather comical in his terrible state.
Alexander was like an enraged bull. He widened his eyes and stared at the wreckage of his' warship '.
Alexander didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he did.
He longed for the sea and longed to sail on the boundless ocean.
It was a pity that he was born in Eagle Plateau, a place where most people had never seen the ocean in their entire lives.
Therefore, he could only purchase a decommissioned small warship and cruise up and down the river all day in the name of 'patrolling'. In fact, it was just to satisfy his vanity of 'sailing'.
As for the other ships that he forced away, Alexander didn't care about them at all. Even though the people complained about his actions, he didn't care at all.
In his opinion, it was enough that he couldn't sail on the boundless ocean and could only stay in this godforsaken place. No matter how wronged they were, could they be more wronged than him?
Besides, the river was so huge. Who asked them to be blind?
Because of this, Alissanda didn't think there was anything wrong with what he was doing. He had always done this, and nothing had ever happened.
But today, he felt very wronged and very angry — he had already stooped to this extent, why did such a damned thing still happen!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He grabbed a soldier who walked past him and glared at him.
"Who is it?!
Who was it!!
Who the f * ck is it!? "
"My, my lord?"
Facing Alexander's anger, the unlucky soldier was completely confused. He didn't know what was going on and could only look at Alexander pitifully.
Seeing him like a stray dog, Alissanda became even more furious. He opened his mouth and roared, spraying saliva all over the other party's face.
"Who is it?
Who the f * ck was it that sank my ship?!
Say it!
Tell me!!
Which bastard is it?! "
"I, I don't know … Sir …!"
"Then why don't you hurry up and go investigate!!"
Hearing the soldier's answer, Alissanda was instantly enraged. He punched the unlucky soldier's face and sent him crashing to the ground.
He gritted his teeth and glared at the terrified soldier in front of him with a flushed face. He looked like a lunatic who wanted to eat someone.
"Investigate!!
The entire Wallford City is now under martial law!!
I must find that bastard! I want to kill him! I want to kill his entire family!!
I will hang his entire family in Naxos Square!
I will let everyone know that this is how those bastards deserve to end up!!!
I will make him pay the price — —!! "
Alissanda roared at the sky. Rage and murderous intent erupted from his mouth, causing everyone present to tremble.
They were clear that Alissanda was a hot-tempered, vicious, and ruthless person. And this time, he was actually this angry. Thinking until here, everyone couldn't help but exchange glances with each other.
It seemed like they were in big trouble this time.
Under Alissanda's command, the soldiers quickly went to search for clues. It wasn't a difficult task for them.
As local tyrants, it was too easy for these soldiers to get some information.
Not to mention the fact that it happened under the watchful eyes of so many people. Although it was a little embarrassing to say it out loud, the soldiers were confident that they would definitely be able to find out who was the one that collided with the Ark Royal.
For them, this was a very simple matter.
But when they started investigating, these unlucky people found out that things were completely different from what they had imagined.
Strictly speaking, there were no ships that collided with the Ark Royal at that time. After all, Alexander's speed was so fast, and the first thing the other ships wanted to do was to avoid it. Who would be so bored as to crash into the Ark Royal? This wasn't a kamikaze kamikaze team. What good would it do them to crash into a cruise ship that had been modified from a warship?
Due to the lack of conclusive evidence, coupled with the fact that Alissanda's tyrannical behavior had long incurred the wrath of the public, every time he went out, it was on a whim, without any warning.
Therefore, many ship owners would be on tenterhooks every time they set sail, fearing that they would run into trouble when this guy went crazy.
Not only that, but Alissanda's actions always brought about considerable losses to the people.
It would be considered light if the ship was destroyed and the cargo sank. If one wasn't careful, they might even die.
Besides, this wasn't the first or second time this happened. Due to this and the lack of conclusive evidence, the soldiers' investigation soon fell into an impasse.
Thus, the investigation of the soldiers quickly came to an impasse. They had to admit that this was a little out of their expectations. In the end, the soldiers could only bite the bullet and continue the investigation, hoping to find the culprit as soon as possible to appease their hot-tempered superior.
Otherwise, they would be the unlucky ones.
It was conceivable that if they found nothing, Alissanda would definitely vent his anger on these pitiful subordinates. They were well aware of Alissanda's cruelty and tyranny. They were certain that if they didn't find anything, it would be the end of their lives for these unlucky people.
While these soldiers were scurrying around Wallfor like headless flies, the real culprit was in the Magnificent Golden Inn, leisurely enjoying a relaxing and happy time.
The elegant sound of a zither echoed in the spacious room. Jenn sat on the balcony, admiring the scenery outside. It was already evening.
The sun was about to sink to the bottom of the horizon, and the bright red sunset was like a layer of gauze covering the City of Thousand Rivers. Accompanied by the reflection of the river, it felt like the entire city was shrouded in a bright red.
However, not everyone was so relaxed. For example, Irene was very nervous at this moment.
This time, she was traveling as Jenn's servant, so she couldn't wander around and enjoy the scenery like the other tourists.
But Irene wasn't dissatisfied with this. On the contrary, she liked this arrangement very much.
Because of her body, it was easy for people to find out that she was' different from ordinary people '.
Instead of being looked down upon by others, it was better for her to follow by his side and do her own things.
That's right, as long as she did her own things …
Irene lowered her head and walked towards Jenn with a tea tray.
During these days in the monastery, she not only learned the manners of nobles, but also learned how to serve nobles from Lily of the Valley and Jasmine.
Now was the time for her to show the results of her learning to Jenn.
Thinking of this, Irene couldn't help but feel a little nervous. But she still took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and walked step by step to Jenn's side.
Then she took out the tea set and placed it in front of Jenn. Her movements were very careful, for fear of making the slightest sound.
This was because Jasmine once told her that if a maid was clumsy and always made noise, not only would she be looked down upon, but even the master would be despised.
Because he didn't educate his servant well, such a master was obviously not qualified to be respected by others.
First the tea tray … then the teacups … the angle must be right …
While recalling Jasmine's teachings in the depths of her heart, Irene reached out and placed the cutlery in front of Zayen one by one.
She could feel Enoya and Pattilina sizing her up, which put a lot of pressure on her. But even so, she kept Jasmine's words in mind, forced herself to act as though she didn't feel anything, and focused on the task at hand.
Even though she was a little slow, Irene did a great job. Her movements were rather smooth and even if she was a little jerky, it was only because she wasn't familiar with it. As long as …
Knock knock knock!
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which startled Irene. The teapot in her hand hit the teacup with a "dang" sound, producing a series of clanking sounds.
This scene made the nervous Irene even more anxious. But before she did anything, the door to the room was slammed open in a loud bang. Shortly after, a dozen fully-armored soldiers rushed into the room and surrounded everyone.
"How dare you!!"
Jenn didn't say a word. On the contrary, Pattilina was the first to jump to her feet. Even though she wasn't as good as Enoya as an adjutant and Alice as a maid, no one was more competent than her as a guard.
Almost at the same time when the soldiers drew their weapons, the little fellow had already stretched out her right hand. At the next moment, a silver-white spear whizzed out of thin air, sweeping across with a sharp gust of wind and forcing the soldiers to retreat.
"Who are you people?"
At this moment, Enoya walked out from behind Jenn leisurely and gazed at the soldiers who appeared out of nowhere.
Alice, on the other hand, had already arrived at Irene's side and began to deal with the mess caused by the previous shock.
As for Jenn, he continued to gaze at the sky as though he were immersed in the beautiful scenery and didn't realize what was happening at all.
"We're the guards of Wallfor City."
It was unknown whether it was because they felt threatened by Padrina's spear, or because everyone's indifferent attitude made these soldiers somewhat apprehensive, but their initial unyielding attitude was now a lot less.
Judging from the appearance of the guards, there were guards, maids, and guards.
No matter how they looked at it, they seemed to be noble nobles. Previously, they rushed over after receiving the news and thought that the people living here were only wealthy merchants. But if they were nobles, it would be too reckless of them to come here.
But since they were already here, they naturally couldn't return empty-handed.
Facing Enoya's question, the guards were stunned for a moment. Soon, a captain walked out from the crowd and bowed to the crowd before speaking.
"Apologies for disturbing everyone. In fact, we received a tip-off that someone was suspected of attacking ships, which was why we rushed over to investigate. Please forgive our rudeness. But … I would like to ask if you have anything to do with this matter."
The captain said hesitantly.
According to the tip-off, there were indeed five people, four women and one man. And now, what he saw was exactly the same as the information indicated. Moreover, the black chariot was also parked in this inn and the inn owner personally admitted that they came in the chariot. If he wasn't wrong, these people should be the culprits.
But … Who exactly are they?
Upon hearing the captain's question, Enoya let out a gentle smile.
"Attacking ships?"
"Yes, someone witnessed it on the Purple Lily River today …"
However, before the captain finished his sentence, Jenn finally spoke.
He turned around, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of red tea. Then, he narrowed his eyes and revealed an ice-cold smile at the captain.
"If you're talking about that idiotic ship that barged in front of us, then it was indeed done by us.
It actually dared to act so recklessly in front of me. It can only be said that it brought this upon itself. If it wasn't so stupid as to block our path, it wouldn't have suffered such a calamity.
Humans must be punished for their mistakes. Isn't that the logic? "
What the f * ck!
Hearing Zayen's words, the soldiers' eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
There was a time when they thought that their superior was arrogant enough, but they didn't expect this young man to be even more arrogant and unyielding.
"Since you've admitted to it, then I'm sorry, Sir. It seems like you have to come with us."
Since the young man admitted to it, there was no need for them to ask any more questions. It was apparent that there was only one thing they had to do next.
"Sir Alexander is searching the entire city for you. I hope you can put down your weapon and come with us."
"What if I refuse?"
"I advise you not to."
Facing Jenn's answer, the captain's tone became much colder.
"Perhaps you're strong, but we aren't the only ones in Wallfor. Even if you defeat us, there will be other soldiers who will come looking for trouble.
For your sake, please come with me. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will have to pay an unimaginable price. "
"Price?"
Jenn sneered. Then, he turned to the captain and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Interesting … I think you're an interesting person. But it's a pity that as a noble, I have my pride and dignity.
Tell that idiot Alexander that he better not cause trouble for me again, or else … I will make him pay a price he can't afford. "
