What Gives You the Right to Arrest Me?

"When the Spirit Hall is conducting business, all unauthorized personnel must give way!"

In Spirit City.

Several guards dressed in silver armor walked through the bustling streets.

Faced with the guards' warning, the people on the street wisely stepped aside.

However, they did not go far, but observed the situation from a short distance away.

"What's going on here? Who are these people? Why are they all wearing silver armor?"

"You don't know this, do you? These people in silver armor aren't ordinary guards in the city; they're all Spirit Hall!"

"What are these Spirit Hall's direct guards doing here? Aren't they supposed to be responsible for the Spirit Hall's security?"

"I don't know. But the only person who can mobilize these guards is His Holiness the Pope. So, something serious must have happened!"

"Look! They've stopped in front of a Xiao Li's gate at the City Guard Office!"

What are they trying to do?

The onlookers, all looking on with confusion, didn't bother to find out more.

Now.

Several guards, their expressions grim, arrived at the gate of a luxurious mansion.

Immediately afterwards,

A guard stepped directly onto the steps in front of the door.

They didn't knock at all.

Right before everyone's eyes, the guard kicked the mansion gate with all his might.

Bang!

A tremendous sound was heard.

Those guards who could stay in the Spirit Hall were already individuals of extraordinary strength.

How could this large, red-lacquered wooden door possibly withstand the heavy blows of the guards?

It only lasted a moment.

The vermilion gate shattered with a crash, falling to pieces.

Large amounts of sawdust were poured into the courtyard of the mansion, making a loud banging sound.

The onlookers were in an uproar, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Many people stared wide-eyed in disbelief at what they were seeing.

Soon, some people came to their senses.

"What are these guards doing? They actually kicked down the door of the City Guard Office 'Xiao Li house!"

"Are these guards acting on the orders of His Holiness the Pope?"

"These silver-armored guards can only be mobilized by His Holiness the Pope; no one else can, not even the elders of the Spirit Hall who hold high positions."

What orders did these guards receive?

"Could it be... because His Holiness the Pope discovered evidence of this Xiao Li's embezzlement and bribery?"

"Hahaha... How naive are you? The City Guard Office was originally an administrative department established with the support of the Spirit Hall. To put it bluntly, they're all in cahoots. How could it be because of corruption and bribery?"

"Let's keep watching, maybe we'll find out soon."

The commotion at the mansion's entrance quickly attracted its owner.

A disheveled figure quickly appeared in the courtyard of the mansion.

He was dressed in very thin clothes, wearing only a very thin undergarment, as if he had just gotten up and hadn't had time to put on clothes.

And.

Even this inner garment wasn't put on properly.

The collar of his shirt was open, revealing his muscular chest.

He was now staring at the shattered gate with a mixture of shock and anger.

"That bastard dared to smash up my front door?"

A roar came from the Xiao Li's mouth.

Just for a moment.

The anger on his face disappeared.

Because he had already seen the figures standing at the entrance.

The silver-white armor glittered in the brilliant golden sunlight, making it particularly dazzling and somewhat uncomfortable for him.

Even so.

He kept his eyes open and clearly saw the several figures.

Silver armor?

Because he had played an absurd 'one vs. five' game last night, Xiao Li of the City Guard Office was still feeling a bit sleepy, but his brain immediately started working at high speed.

What kind of person would appear in Spirit City wearing silver-white armor?

If he remembered correctly, it seemed that only guards from the Spirit Hall had this qualification.

In other words, the people in front of us are from the Spirit Hall.

But what are these people doing here?

Xiao Li couldn't come up with an answer before she did.

One of the guards standing at the door had already moved and was striding towards Xiao Li.

Walk closer.

The guard took out a rolled-up piece of Xuan paper from his waist and then unfolded it.

This is a portrait.

The person in the painting looks exactly like the Xiao Li in front of me!

After a quick glance, the guard didn't waste any words, rolled up the portrait into a strip, and tucked it back into his waistband.

Then he stretched out a large hand and grabbed at Xiao Li.

"What are you trying to do?!"

Xiao Li was terrified and immediately tried to resist.

But.

How could a Xiao Li like him be a match for the Spirit Hall guards?

Within three moves, he was immediately subdued by the guards.

His Soul Power was also sealed by the guards, temporarily stripping him of his strength and turning him into an ordinary person.

"What exactly do you want? I'm a member of the City Guard Office, how dare you arrest me without authorization?"

He was dragged out of the mansion and brought to the Xiao Li, where he roared.

"The City Guard Office? Hmph! We arrested the people from the City Guard Office!"

The guard sneered and directly mocked him.

"Why? What right do you have to arrest me? You've arrested members of the City Guard Office without authorization! I'm going to report you to the Spirit Hall!"

Xiao Li, who was being restrained, looked defiant and immediately threatened them.

You won't have that chance.

A guard spoke indifferently, his gaze fixed on Xiao Li as if he were looking at a dead man.

What does "no opportunity" mean?

Could it be!!!

Looking into the guard's cold eyes, Xiao Li suddenly realized something, and his face turned pale instantly.

"You, you can't kill me! I'm... I'm from the City Guard Office!"

Xiao Li's voice was filled with fear, and her face was completely drained of color.

A crowd of onlookers.

At this moment, however, he wore a puzzled and confused expression.

A guard shook his head, looking at the dejected Xiao Li with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"To tell you the truth, the reason you were arrested was on the orders of His Holiness the Pope. Corruption is punishable by death. You have no way out."

Xiao Li was stunned.

The guard's words struck him like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned and unable to react for a moment.

When will corruption be properly addressed?

Hasn't the Spirit Hall always maintained a hands-off attitude towards such matters?

How so?

Xiao Li was utterly despondent, her spirits plummeting to rock bottom.

Meanwhile, the onlookers who had been watching the drama unfold were now in an uproar.

"The Spirit Hall actually manages corrupt officials? Have they lost their mind?"

"That's not all! This was actually an order personally given by His Holiness the Pope!"

"I always thought the Spirit Hall and the City Guard Office were on the same side, but today I've really seen something different. It seems the Spirit Hall is actually quite resistant to this kind of thing."

"Hahaha... This Xiao Li has taken who knows how much ill-gotten money; today he's finally been punished by heaven. I'm so grateful to His Holiness the Pope!"

"It seems His Holiness the Pope does understand the suffering of us ordinary people; he's not forever aloof and superior!"

Long live the Pope!
