章 204: Red Rose

Inside the City Lord Mansion, the new City Lord lifted his head from the desk and cried out to the nearest manager after hearing another vibration from the ground, "Can you tell me what the hell is happening?! I already heard two explosions."

"Yes Lord, I will check right away." The guard nodded and left urgently. It took him a few minutes before he finally came back and reported, "Lord, there was an incident where a group of cultivators broke through the Inner Gate as they didn't wish to pay the high fee."

"Are they already in our custody? We don't tolerate such behaviour." The City Lord asked sternly. He already took it as a given that they are caught, so he didn't put any more attention onto it, looking back at his papers.
