Volume 2 + Chapter 90: A Fortune For A Smile
The Sheriff’s gaze swept across the entire Ascension Casino.
To be honest, such a situation was quite rare.
The family power behind Ascension Casino belonged to the Elvin family of Corolle, as well as other emerging nobles involved in the New Chamber of Commerce.
The influence of the New Chamber of Commerce in Corolle was at its peak, and no other power could compete with them.
Even the once glorious Cavendish family, which had been recognized by the Royal Dragon Family, paled in comparison to the New Chamber of Commerce.
To cause trouble in Ascension Casino was basically tantamount to seeking death.
This situation seemed as if the Elvin family had suffered a setback, their own territory had been turned into such a mess.
Ascension Casino was almost reduced to ruins, the celebration had to be stopped, and the most shocking part was the leader of the Cangqing Gang lying on the ground. A well-performing notorious gang being humiliated like this was a first.
The Sheriff walked up to Chen Tie, squatted down, and placed his finger in front of the burly man’s nose.
“You’re not dead, but the imposing manner you usually have, now ends up like this. It’s quite ironic,” the Sheriff commented expressionlessly.
The members of the Cangqing Gang were at a loss for words, feeling very dissatisfied but helpless.
The Sheriff stood up, his gaze shifted, and he saw Serra. He frowned slightly, and then continued to focus on Xia Yi.
After seeing her silver hair and silver eyes, the Sheriff’s expression changed slightly, and even a flash of killing intent passed by, but it was quickly concealed.
Serra was very perceptive and had already caught the emotional change of the Sheriff. She narrowed her eyes and walked back to Xia Yi’s side.
“Sheriff, you’ve finally arrived.”
Oba approached the Sheriff, glanced at Serra, and sneered.
“If you didn’t come, I might have been killed by this thug.”
“What happened?” the Sheriff asked. “I received a message that someone violated Corolle’s laws and released their true dragon form here.”
“Yes, it’s this woman. She didn’t have an invitation to our Ascension Casino celebration, forced her way in, causing destruction, and posed a great threat to the private property of our Elvin family and my personal safety.”
“Dare to act so recklessly?”
“Yes, most importantly, this woman dared to use magic to summon a giant creature in Corolle without authorization, which is a trampling of Corolle’s laws,” Oba sneered.
Serra retorted, “If that’s the case, then how would your Elvin family explain the indulgence of your hired Cangqing Gang in releasing their true dragon forms?”
“Is that so?” the Sheriff looked at Oba.
Oba was at a loss for words.
Because the Cangqing Gang member who released their true form had been knocked down to the ground, lying on the first floor of Ascension Casino very conspicuously, there was just no way to argue.
The young master of the Elvin family was silent for a moment, then simply cut ties and cleared the relationship.
“Sheriff, our Elvin family has always abided by Corolle’s laws. We have never had any thoughts of violation. We did hire the Cangqing Gang to provide security during the Ascension Casino celebration, but during the fight, it was the members of the Cangqing Gang who got carried away and released their true dragon forms. I wanted to stop them, but couldn’t. It has nothing to do with our Elvin family. If you want to hold the Cangqing Gang accountable, our Elvin family will definitely not stop you. In fact, we will fully support you.”
“Alright, in that case, drag the members of the Cangqing Gang down to the dungeon, to be tried on another day!” the Sheriff ordered.
“At your command!”
The soldiers stepped forward, using force to revert the Cangqing Gang members who released their true forms back to human form, and tied the unconscious ones with shackles, dragging them away directly.
Seeing this scene, the members of the Cangqing Gang finally couldn’t sit still.
“Oba, what are you doing? We, the Cangqing Gang, risked our lives for you, fighting criminals, and you choose to backstab and betray us? At that time, it was you who let us release our true dragon forms to deter the criminals!”
“I never said such a thing. You need to provide evidence, otherwise, I can sue you for defamation,” Oba said disdainfully.
“Damn you!”
The members of the Cangqing Gang were furious, and just as they were about to rush up and beat Oba, they were stopped by the soldiers and pinned to the ground.
“Are you, the Cangqing Gang, also going to disturb the public order of Corolle and obstruct the execution of official duties?”
The Sheriff looked down at the Cangqing Gang members at his feet and threatened coldly.
The members of the Cangqing Gang were both anxious and angry, but they also knew that although their gang was one of the top forces in Corolle, the security team was an official organization, and they had control over the local armed forces. They couldn’t clash with them. They could only endure the humiliation and watch their gang members being taken away.
“Oba, you dog, just wait. When the boss wakes up, your Elvin family will have to pay the price!” one of the members of the Cangqing Gang cursed.
“Really, that’s why I hate you guys who only have violence in your brains. A thug is a thug for life, without reason.”
Oba didn’t care at all and kept taunting.
“Alright, Sheriff, don’t bother with these guys. It’s time to deal with the criminals who violated Corolle’s laws.”
“Indeed.”
The Sheriff’s gaze moved to Serra and Xia Yi.
“Do you two have anything to say?”
“Corolle’s laws, I’ve never heard of them. Who approved them?” Serra asked. “Was it approved by Her Majesty the Queen?”
“…”
The Sheriff fell into silence.
“Don’t waste words with them. Do what needs to be done. This is Corolle, not the capital.”
Oba knew this well. If the discussion continued on this point, the emerging nobles of Corolle would not be justified.
At the same time, he whispered in the Sheriff’s ear, “The interests of the New Chamber of Commerce have always been aligned with your security team. I hope you don’t forget how you obtained your current position. Don’t forget, it was with our support that you were able to kick out the old law enforcement team and replace them.”
“Ladies, since you have violated the laws of Corolle, then we will enforce the law and arrest you temporarily. Of course, Corolle is fair. If you have any objections later, you can find a lawyer to defend you in court.”
The Sheriff raised his hand, signaling the soldiers to move forward to arrest them.
Xia Yi was thinking about how to proceed with the next step.
Serra whispered a reminder, “Princess, the situation in the south is worse than I imagined. It’s best not to expose your identity for now.”
“Then what do we do now? Continue to be tough?”
Serra was ready to make a decision, just at this moment—
Many gold coins fell from the sky, and at the same time, a cheerful voice of a middle-aged man rang out.
“Alright, everyone stop! The Elvin family’s losses at Ascension Casino today, I will fully compensate! The redemption money for my daughter and her friend, I will also pay in full! Sir, I’m happy. I have plenty of money!”
