Chapter 5: Chapter 5 : Capitan Remy
[ The task of rescuing my sister is completed, you will be rewarded with 100 points, and you will be randomly drawn once. ]
Leo was already very satisfied to hear that, one hundred points could be exchanged for a lot of money, and there were random lottery draws. Although he had never tried lottery draws, he knew that he would definitely not lose money.
At this time, the sound of the system sounded again. Hearing this task, Leo looked around. He saw that the system's tasks seemed to have a prophetic nature, as if they knew what was going to happen and then issued tasks to him.
It was like when he returned home, and the system had already issued a mission for him to come to the hospital to save Lia. So Leo knew that there must be someone following them.
But looking around, he didn't see anything wrong. Soon, a group of people in uniforms appeared in front of them, ten in total, staring at Leo and Lia.
Lia spoke quickly, her worried eyes darting around. Leo also stopped, Silver Light Fox and White Jade Cat stood beside him, surrounding Leo and Lia like loyal guards.
The members of the city guards quickly approached Leo and Lia. The ten people looked at the Silver Light Fox and the White Jade Cat with vigilance; after all, these two beasts looked very dangerous.
"This is Team 33 of the Clearhaven City Guard, and I'm Captain Remy," the captain said.
"You have violated the rules of the city by using the alien beast to fight in the city. Hurry up and put away your alien beast, and obediently follow us to accept the punishment. Otherwise, we will judge you for vandalism!"
Remy, with a serious face, said this in a cold voice and looked at Leo with vigilance in his eyes. He dared not underestimate anyone who dared to do something in the city.
Leo directly put away the White Jade Cat and the Silver Light Fox. He knew that fighting against the city guards was equivalent to fighting against the entire city, and there would be no good end.
The debt collectors soon came after them. They looked at Leo and said viciously: "He injured many of us with strange beasts, catch him quickly!"
Leo's eyes were cold when he heard this. If Remy really caught him indiscriminately, then he would not hold back.
At this time, Remy looked at those debt collectors and said in a cold voice: "Hurry up, Do you think I don't know what you are doing? Get out of here. How I deal with him has nothing to do with you."
Now the debt collectors, who were still gloating, looked at each other in blank dismay.
"We are Victor's people," one of the debt collectors reminded him, fearing a misunderstanding.
The city guards they called were the city guards they made friends with, so now their reaction to Remy was a bit strange. Normally, the city guards should arrest Leo with them.
Remy frowned and looked at the man, then suddenly said in a cold voice, "I don't care if you if its Victor or a Wolf, as long as you destroy the stability of the city!"
"Get out!"
The debt collectors were a little confused now. At this time, a group of city guards came from a distance.
When the captain saw Remy, he winked at the debt collectors speechlessly. As a group of them, they left in despair, and the city guards who came from behind also left in despair.
Remy didn't stop seeing this scene. He set his eyes on Leo.
Seeing that one of Leo's clothes was worn out, and the other was still wearing a hospital gown, Remy knew that they must have been persecuted by debt collectors.
He sighed helplessly, waved his hands, and said directly: "Forget it, it doesn't look like you did it on purpose. So how about it, I won't make problem for you. Judging from your age, you should still be studying in the Ability Academy, right?"
"This is the first time. If there is a next time, don't blame me for going directly to your school!"
After saying that, Remy left straight away. The team members around him were all speechless. They knew that Remy must be full of sympathy again.
Leo was also a little surprised.
He was ready to spend money to buy peace, but this was not a bad thing for him now.
"Thanks!"
Leo yelled, and Remy, who had already left, looked back at him, and then muttered angrily, "Just don't cause trouble!"
Lia looked at Leo at the side and felt that he was completely different from before. But now Leo was very optimistic about her, so she didn't ask any more questions.
The two walked towards Finn's house, but Leo didn't dare to relax because the task had not been completed yet, and he knew the danger was still there.
At that moment, not far from them, the city guards who had left with the debt collectors suddenly reappeared, surrounding Leo and the others. The debt collectors stood at a distance, watching the scene unfold as if they were enjoying a good show.
Leo observed the guards in front of him. From their behavior earlier, it was clear to him that they were in cahoots with the debt collectors. He wasn't at all surprised by this sudden ambush.
He had suspected this might happen ever since the mission appeared.
"Come with us!"
The lead captain barked, his eyes fierce, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor.
Lia's expression turned serious. Speaking in a low but firm voice, she said, "I am a graduate of Clearhaven City Advanced Ability Academy this year. I've been recommended to the top ten academies because of my exceptional grades. You'd better not try any of these petty tricks, or else…"
Before she could finish, the captain smirked coldly.
"You're someone who has to borrow money just to see a doctor. Even if you go to the top ten academies, you'll still amount to nothing. Don't think you can scare me with that!"
"If you come quietly, you'll suffer less," he added, his tone dripping with disdain.
Lia's face turned pale with anger. Every major city had its own advanced supernatural academy, but the most prestigious institutions in human society were the top ten academies.
Getting accepted into one of the top ten academies was a mark of prestige and strength. However, for someone without connections or influence, even being part of such an elite institution could bring more challenges than benefits.
At this moment, Leo stepped forward, summoning the White Jade Cat and the Silver Light Fox.
The guards exchanged smug looks, clearly finding Leo's actions laughable. Their arrogance was evident. If Leo didn't retaliate, they wouldn't have any excuse to act against him. But now that he had taken action, they had justification to apprehend him.
Before they could make their move, an old man slowly walked into the scene, emerging from the shadows. He stopped just outside the circle of guards and spoke in a calm, deliberate tone.
"Why has the city guard become so bold and reckless recently?"
His voice was unhurried, but it carried enough authority to freeze everyone in their tracks.
The guards turned to look at him, confused. Most of them didn't recognize the old man. However, the captain's expression shifted dramatically the moment he saw who it was. His eyes widened in shock and fear, and he visibly stiffened.
Internally, the captain was panicking. "What's going on? Why is he here? How did this old monster show up now?!"
He almost doubted his own eyes.
At that same moment, the system's voice rang softly in Leo's ears.
