1461 Troublemaker, You Will Be Stripped as an Example to Others (1/2)
The faces of all those in the restaurant changed dramatically. These were the imperial guards of the palace, who were one grade higher than the city guards. They couldn't believe that such existences were here. The people present were of high status, so they quickly figured out the reason.
Without a doubt, these guards served the imperial concubine. Black Armor, Silver Armor, and Gold Armor were the three chiefs of the imperial guard under the Divine Emperor. Their strength was so formidable that they were not weaker than any head of the aristocratic family. Among them, Silver Armor was very close with the imperial concubine, so it wasn't hard to figure out why these guards were here.
”What should Mister Bu do?”
Every Silver Armor Guard here was a mid-grade God, and their captain was even a high-grade God. Although their numbers were small, as someone who guarded the imperial palace, their strength was extremely fearsome.
The top floor of the building was almost empty, with only the Silver Armor Guards surrounding the restaurant. Although this skyscraper was the Luo Family's property, these guards didn't care at all. They still surrounded the restaurant without scruple.
Hu Lu got up from his chair, frowning. He had a very good impression of Bu Fang now, who not only possessed fearsome fighting strength but could also cook delicious food. He was very happy to have a friend like this. And he felt that these Silver Armor Guards were too aggressive. The Divine Emperor had decreed that no one should pursue this matter anymore, but they still surrounded the restaurant. They simply ignored the emperor's decree.
The captain slowly stepped into the restaurant with his hands clasped behind his back, emanating a mighty and murderous aura. These guards were seasoned soldiers who had been hardened by blood and death, so their auras were much stronger than that of ordinary guards.
After licking the gravy of the spicy crayfish from his finger, Hu Lu looked at the captain and said, ”Could you please leave here for my sake? Mister Bu is my friend…”
The captain turned and rested his cold eyes on Hu Lu. A faint smile came over his face. ”My lord…Do you want to meddle in the Silver Armor Guard's business?” he said lightly.
Hu Lu paused, then an angry look came over his face.
”Lord Silver Armor had ordered us to bring that chef back to the palace. In fact, this is not only his order but also the command of Her Imperial Highness. Do you dare challenge it now?”
The captain looked down his nose at the young master. He was a high-grade God, and his aura was especially formidable. Even though Hu Lu was an exceptional Demigod, he was fearless.
Luo Sanniang had stood up as well, and her face was grim. 'The imperial concubine is not going to spare Bu Fang. It seems that Mo Hen really holds a high place in her heart,' she thought. 'Well, she might also just want to salvage her reputation…'
”My lord, don't force me… The price is not what you can afford. In fact, not even King Pingyang could afford it.” The captain was still sneering, and the contemptuous look on his face further provoked Hu Lu.
Inside the restaurant, Bu Fang, who was examining the System's reward, woke up. His eyes flickered as he glanced expressionlessly outside. The noise had attracted his attention. He rose to his feet, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked toward them with an indifferent face.
He then saw the Silver Armor Guard, consisting of a dozen mid-grade Gods and a high-grade God. Their auras were powerful, and the whole building seemed to be enveloped by the pressure emanating from them. At a glance, he knew that they came with malice.
A moment later, someone from the Luo Family had arrived. ”My lady, His Lordship asks you to come back with us,” the man told Luo Sanniang while glancing frightfully at the Silver Armor Guard.
Luo Sanniang bit her lip and glared at the man. ”Tell my dad that I will not leave here until this matter is settled!”
That took the man aback.
Glancing at Luo Sanniang, the captain snorted and bellowed, ”How dare you!” His voice exploded like thunder, echoing through the air and almost shattering everyone's eardrums. Then, the pressure of a high-grade God enveloped the whole place. The strength of this captain was much stronger than that of Mo Feng, and he should have comprehended over fifty Laws.
Hu Lu took a step forward. His face was cold.
Luo Sanniang's friends were hiding in a corner, trembling in fear. They dared not act wildly in the face of the Silver Armor Guard, as their status was nowhere near as noble as Hu Lu and Luo Sanniang. The former was King Pingyang's son, while the latter was the young daughter of the Luo Family.
”In that case, don't blame me for not showing mercy… Lord Silver Armor had told us to kill anyone who resists!” No sooner had the captain said that than his aura exploded out and his eyes burst into silver light.
However, just as he was about to attack, a faint voice rang out from inside the restaurant. ”You will pay if you dare to attack my customer here…”
Bu Fang's lean figure slowly walked over, his face indifferent.
The captain's pupils constricted. Bu Fang was the man they were here for! ”You finally showed up! We're here on Lord Silver Armor's orders to arrest you and bring you to the dungeon!” His aura fluctuated, then he took a step forward, appeared in front of Bu Fang in a flash, and reached out a hand.
Bu Fang narrowed his eyes, and his face grew colder. The repeated harassment had annoyed him. Worst of all, today was the opening of his restaurant, and yet the imperial concubine still sent someone to cause trouble.
Even as the captain struck out, a beam of silver light suddenly appeared, and then Whitey was in front of Bu Fang, reaching out its huge palm and crashing it with the captain's hand. A thunderous rumble rang out as their palms collided, producing powerful blasts that swept out in all directions.
Whitey took a step back, its body clanging and its mechanical eyes flashing. The captain didn't move at all, but there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
”A puppet? How dare a mere puppet stop me?” His nostrils flared.
”Troublemaker, you will be stripped as an example to others.” Whitey's mechanical voice echoed through the whole place.
