Chapter 26 Helen (1/2)

Everyone turned their attention towards the voice. They noticed a seventeen-year-old girl not far away from the street walking towards them. She was draped in a noble's dress with white gloves. Her short, brown hair fell upon her shoulders. From afar, she resembled a young mistress from a noble family.

Unfortunately, her dress did not accentuate her body line. It could be said that the girl's body was too big for her dress. The dress wrapped tightly around her swollen body which made her looked ridiculous. The most eye-catching part was her fat chin, which wobbled with every step she made.

Beside her was the young man from before. His forehead was covered in sweat as he whispered frantically to her. As for the other two guards, they lowered their heads helplessly as they followed behind the girl and the young man. There was a bright handprint on their faces.

”So, which b*stard dared to covet my carriage?” The girl yelled as she walked towards them.

She panted as she shouted, but she did not wait for a reply and stared directly at the coachman.

”You are not allowed to take these people away! Do you hear me!? This is an order!”

”How can you do this!”

Listening to her outrageous command, Lize couldn't hold it in any longer.

”We've already rented this carriage, how can you...”

”Shut up. Who do you think you are! You dare to speak to me with that tone!?”

The oversized girl was mad and interrupted Lize. Then, she lifted her hand and pointed to the three of them.

”Just you wait! You guys dare to provoke my family, watch and see how I...”

The girl hadn't finished when Rhode suddenly lifted up his arm and snapped his fingers.

”....!!”

There was a sudden silence. The girl's mouth no longer made any sound. She widened her eyes and gripped her neck tightly. The expression on her face turned to horror when she realized she couldn't speak.

On Rhode's shoulder, the Spirit Bird stared at her and emitted a magic light.

”Young miss! Are you okay! Young miss!!”

”...…!!!”

The man frantically dashed over after noticing the girl was choking. However, when he got closer, he crashed into a transparent wall and fell to the ground.

”...!! ...!!”

The girl's body began to tremble. Her limbs spasmed awkwardly, her mouth began to enlarge disproportionately, and her eyes seemed as if it would pop out any moment.

”...M-Mr. Rhode?”

Lize felt somewhat uneasy. Although she did not know what exactly happened, she could guess that this should be related to Rhode.

In fact, Rhode did not do anything at all. Since the Spirit Bird was a wind elemental spirit, it could somehow manipulate the air around it. The only thing Rhode did was seal the air around her. If his opponent was an adventurer, it might be quite tricky to pull this off, but using it on an ordinary person without any power was simple.

”...!!!”

Rhode finally signaled the Spirit Bird to stop when the girl almost lost her consciousness.

”Poof!”

The next moment, the girl fell to the ground. She slumped to the ground like a broken puppet, her face was devoid of blood, and she panted non-stop. The expression on her face was of fear and confusion.

”Young miss! Young miss! Are you okay!”

The man got up quickly and rushed to her side. In his heart, he was exhilarated because he made the right choice to not argue with Rhode. If he did something like this to him, he wouldn't even know how he died!

”Cough... cough...” The girl coughed violently.

When she was finally able to catch her breath, she raised her head with difficulty and pointed at Rhode.

”You, what are you doing! Ben, Kill him! Quickly kill him! Qui...”

Unfortunately, she could not finish her sentence. Because at this time, the Spirit Bird that was resting on Rhode's shoulder locked her in its sights again. The girl's face immediately paled, and at the same time, she started rolling on the ground, seemingly unable to speak a word.

”P-Please! Please let her go, Sir! Miss Helen is young and ignorant, please forgive her...”

”I prefer my peace and tranquility.”

Rhode only replied one sentence before returning to the carriage. Lize felt sorry for the young girl on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, she followed Rhode to the carriage. Only Matt revealed a gleeful expression, and he leisurely strolled to the carriage while humming.

With a worried expression, Lize glanced at the suffering girl and asked Rhode. ”Mr. Rhode, is it alright to leave her like this?”
