The Skyfire Avenue enforcers breathed a collective sigh of relief at Lan Jue's appearance. Outsiders might not know who she was, but they certainly did!
She was one of the eighteen council members of Skyfire Avenue. Although she'd only joined Skyfire Avenue a few years ago, the fact that she'd become a council member was a testament to her strength.
"Jewelry Master." The enforcers bowed respectfully to Lan Jue.
"You're the owner of this shop?" The man's voice was like the clang of metal, very distinctive.
"That's right!"
Lan Jue smiled casually. She turned to the enforcers. "Take the injured and get them treated. I'll handle this."
"Yes, sir." Several enforcers separated from the crowd and carried away the injured enforcers.
The rest of the enforcers stood respectfully behind Lan Jue, awaiting further instructions.
"Hand over the ore, and we'll leave immediately." The man's voice was hard and cold.
Lan Jue shook her head. "No, you can't leave. You've injured Skyfire Avenue's people, and you're just going to walk away like that?
As for the ore, it's been reduced to powder. "The man's heart twitched as he spoke.
He wasn't lying. The pure energy stone had been reduced to powder. How else would the Keeper have been able to figure out how many times it had been charged?
"What did you say?"
The golden-hooded man took a step forward. It was a simple step, but it was enough to change the world around them. The thick scent of blood, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, assaulted Lan Jue's senses.
Those who could enter Skyfire Avenue were all Adepts. Feeling the powerful aura, the enforcers and bystanders standing by Lan Jue's side released their Disciplines in unison.
Mika, who stood by Lan Jue's side, raised an eyebrow. He was about to make a move when Lan Jue flashed in front of him.
Lan Jue still had a lazy expression on her face. She raised her right hand and snapped her fingers.
Suddenly, a blue ball of light the size of a fingernail flew out.
However, it wasn't flying towards the golden-hooded man. It had only flown a meter away from Lan Jue when it suddenly exploded.
A faint red flame suddenly ignited in the air. What was even more strange was that this faint red flame was rapidly extending towards the direction of the golden-hooded man.
It was as if invisible gasoline had been ignited in the sky, and the source of the gasoline was the golden-hooded man.
The smell of blood instantly disappeared, as if it had been burned away in an instant. The golden-hooded man roared and took a step back. He waved his right hand in front of him, and a blood-red light flashed. Only then did he sever the connection between himself and the flames.
"Spirit-devouring Divine Thunder, who are you?"
The golden-hooded man suddenly raised his head, revealing his face. He wore a golden mask, but his eyes were light blue. His pupils contracted and narrowed, giving him a menacing appearance.
Lan Jue smiled faintly. "For the sake of the Moonfiend Empress, each of you will leave behind a finger and five million New Dollars for medical expenses. Then you may go."
The golden-hooded man's voice was cold. "If you know who we are, then you should understand the rules of the Moonfiend Pirates.
Hand over the ore and Oliver. Otherwise, even if you have the Spirit-devouring Divine Thunder, we will not rest until one of us is dead. "
At the mention of the Moonfiend Pirates, all the adepts who had gathered to watch the commotion took a step back. In a flash, the crowd in front of the Zeus Jewelry Shop was cleared. Many people lowered their heads and hurried away.
Lan Jue didn't answer the question. "You came here today. Was it your idea?"
The golden-hooded man was taken aback, but his voice was hard and cold. "I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to hand it over or not?"
Lan Jue sighed. "Heaven's wrongs can be forgiven, but one's own wrongs cannot be forgiven.
You should know that if the Moonfiend Empress were here, she wouldn't just be asking for a finger.
Do you really think that because you're a ninth-level Talent you have the ability to cause trouble on Skyfire Avenue? "
He paused, then turned to a direction and nodded. "Wine Master, please give me some face. These are the subordinates of an old friend. I will make them pay."
"Very well." The deep voice came from the distance, but it was clear to everyone present.
Suddenly, the sky grew dark. Skyfire Avenue shouldn't have experienced such a change in weather, but in this moment, the entire avenue was shrouded in darkness.
Suddenly, a purple light bloomed in the darkness. It became a giant ring of purple light.
The whole of Skyfire Avenue seemed to twist and warp. Then, the sky brightened once more, and everything returned to normal.
But Lan Jue and the hooded men who'd been standing in front of Zeus Jewelry Shop were nowhere to be seen.
"All of you, go back and do your jobs."
A cold voice sounded, and a woman in a silver trench coat appeared in front of the law enforcers.
She was tall, well-proportioned, and beautiful. Her hair fell to her ears, and her eyes were silver as well. Her entire body seemed to glow with an unforgettable light.
"Yes, Captain." The Enforcers bowed respectfully to the woman, then quietly retreated into the crowd.
The Adepts who'd gathered to watch, those who were originally from Skyfire Avenue, quickly retreated. The sight of her was like a nightmare to them. The newcomers were still reeling from the strange phenomenon they'd just witnessed. Shock and fear coexisted in their hearts.
"You're really slow." Mika looked at the silver-clad woman with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
The silver-clad woman looked at him coldly. "I was on the ground."
Mika pursed his lips. "Then you can go now. It's all settled."
The silver-clad woman shook her head. "I'll wait for the Jewel Master to return. He needs an explanation for this."
Mika raised an eyebrow. "You want our boss to give you an explanation?"
"Yes." The silver-clad woman nodded without hesitation.
Mika's eyes lit up, as if there were orange flames dancing in them. "Who do you think you are?"
The silver-clad woman's hands were in the pockets of her silver windbreaker. Her silver eyes suddenly became penetrating and deep, as if two silver vortexes were spinning violently within them. She faced Mika without the slightest fear.
"I'm the vice-captain of the Skyfire Avenue Enforcers. I have the authority to supervise any shop on the avenue."
Mika snorted coldly. Orange flames suddenly burst forth from her body without warning. The smell of gunpowder suddenly rose between the two beauties.
