40: Anne and Vester

Wei He’s chest was puffed out, and he walked with a swagger, leading Huang Yichen and the injured Andrew towards the gate they had just come from.

“Call your master out, I need to speak with him!” Wei He’s chin was almost scraping the sky as he looked disdainfully at the guards at the entrance.

“Scram, scram, scram! If you’re begging, come back another day. Today, our master is entertaining distinguished guests. If you spoil his mood, we’ll break your legs!” The guard’s attitude was extremely arrogant.

“Sure enough, we still have to fight our way in!” Wei He said helplessly. He had often seen this kind of plot on TV when he was on Blue Star.

He gave Huang Yichen a look, and Huang Yichen understood. He took a big stride forward, walked in front of the guard, and stared intently at him.

The guard was so frightened by this scene that he repeatedly retreated, especially seeing Huang Yichen’s eyes, which looked like he was staring at a corpse, as if he was already a dead man in Huang Yichen’s eyes.

“You, you, what do you want to do? Help! Someone’s causing trouble!” The guard shouted, mustering his courage.

“Don’t kill anyone, just knock them down!” Wei He didn’t forget to instruct.

Just then, a group of guards rushed out from the gate with sticks, surrounding Huang Yichen.

Huang Yichen stood there calmly, arms crossed over his chest, looking disdainfully at the people around him.

Seeing how arrogant this person was, the guards swung their arms, using all their might, and struck Huang Yichen’s body.

As expected, just like those vulgar TV drama tropes, how could these ordinary people be a match for a World-Shocking Level Ability User? The sticks broke upon hitting Huang Yichen’s body.

And Huang Yichen merely patted each person lightly, and these guards couldn’t take it anymore, falling to the ground and wailing. Of course, this wasn’t a scam; it was because Huang Yichen’s strength was too great, and even a light touch was more than ordinary people could bear.

“How dare you, who are you? How dare you come here to cause trouble?” A person with mostly white, sparse hair plastered to his scalp and layers of wrinkles on his face walked out.

This person was Vaster. Vaster was dressed extremely lavishly, adorned in silk and satin from head to toe, and even the robe he wore was a magic robe specially supplied by the state for magicians.

After Vaster walked out from inside, the local Judicial Magistrate, Buck, came out with him.

Buck’s figure was tall and slender, his golden hair shining like a thin layer of gold under the sunlight, and he was also dressed in luxurious clothes.

“Give Anne back to me!” Andrew shouted anxiously when he saw Vaster come out.

“Why are you still here? Didn’t I say Anne is with me voluntarily? Do you want money? Two gold ingots aren’t enough, are they?” Vaster waved his arm lightly, his eyes full of disdain, and said softly, “Give him twenty more gold ingots. Take this gold, and don’t ever come back!”

“Yes!” A person resembling a butler walked into the door and, in a short while, returned with twenty gold ingots.

“No, I want my wife, my Anne, take your stinking money away!” Andrew said emotionally.

“If you don’t leave now, I’ll have you arrested for disturbing public order and fighting. Twenty gold ingots is a lot, young man, don’t be insatiably greedy!” As Buck spoke, his mustache curled upwards.

As soon as Buck’s voice fell, hundreds of soldiers appeared from both sides of the mansion, holding long spears, surrounding Wei He and the other two.

“No, I don’t want gold, I want my wife!” Andrew desperately explained.

“Andrew, you should leave, don’t come back here anymore!” Anne walked out of the mansion, her lips curved upwards, speaking in a tone of persuasion.

Anne had voluminous, curly golden hair, prominent features, a high nose bridge, a delicate face, and clear light brown eyes. She wore a gorgeous dress and a precious beast fur cloak, which made Wei He feel a bit entranced.

“I’m with Vaster voluntarily. I don’t want to go back to that poor life with you. Only Vaster can give me what I want. Go back, live well, and don’t come looking for me again!” Anne said resolutely to Andrew.

“No, I don’t believe it, you must be lying to me!” Andrew felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue upon hearing Anne’s words.

“If you don’t leave, I’ll have you arrested. Believe it or not, you need to recognize your place!” Anne said with disdain in her eyes.

“Enough, stop talking, arrest them!” Buck said casually, with a look of contempt.

“No, this is impossible!” Andrew was still muttering as he was being arrested.

And Wei He was once again imprisoned. Since arriving on this continent, he had been imprisoned multiple times, and Huang Yichen was also arrested with him. Of course, these ordinary soldiers were no match for him, but Wei He had ordered him not to act yet.

After all, since Anne was unwilling to return with Andrew, the matter had turned into Wei He and his companions provoking trouble and engaging in a brawl.

“Alright, stop nagging!” Wei He said impatiently to Andrew.

Because Andrew kept saying “this is impossible” even in the prison cell.

“Ah! What did I do wrong, what did I do wrong? Why won’t Anne come back with me, why?” Andrew’s tears streamed down his face as he spoke fragilely.

“Alright, stop crying. Do you know what women want? This is a good thing for her, and for you too. At least you’ve seen a woman clearly!” Wei He said helplessly, looking at the bruised Andrew.

“No, how could this be! Ah!” Andrew couldn’t believe how Anne, who had always been so close to him, could have changed like this.

Wei He shook his head helplessly.

On the streets of Northwest Town, Linlin was unaware of Wei He’s situation, sitting in a theater watching a magic show.

The theater owner was standing on stage chattering incessantly. Linlin sat bored in the audience, and Bozi Youning was left outside waiting for her; she didn’t want her mood ruined by these dull, machine-like people.

Suddenly, a handsome face entered her line of sight, and this handsome face belonged to the magician of the current performance.

“Beautiful lady, may I invite you on stage to complete this performance with me?” The magician politely asked Linlin.

“Of course, you may!” Linlin, attracted by the magician’s handsomeness, eagerly replied.

“Alright, next is the most exciting performance, the Great Human Transformation! First, please, beautiful lady, step into this box!” The magician skillfully recited this line he had said many times.

Linlin, with a lovesick expression, walked into the box. Immediately, the magician rotated the box.

As soon as Linlin entered the box, she realized something was wrong. A smell of anesthetic gas wafted over. An ordinary person would have been knocked out by now, but unfortunately, they encountered the Beginner Magician Linlin.

Linlin immediately rushed out of the box, only to find herself in the theater’s backstage. It seemed this Great Human Transformation was connected to the backstage through a mechanism.

Another woman was waiting backstage. She was supposed to pull the unconscious person out, and then she would enter the box herself, which would both complete the performance and capture the person.

Seeing Linlin walk out, she was first startled, then revealed a fierce expression, grabbing Linlin and saying viciously, “The anesthetic didn’t knock you out, it seems I bought a fake product!”

As the woman’s voice rang out, five or six more men appeared backstage. Seeing Linlin’s stunning beauty, their mouths all curved upwards.

“Before we sell her, our brothers can enjoy a round first, hahahaha!” one man said lewdly.
