In the "City of Radiance," there is a law enforcement agency that strikes fear into the hearts of everyone: the "Enforcement Team" of the Security Department.

This group of white-robed mages symbolizes absolute justice and ruthless compassion.

They would arrest anyone causing trouble in the city, in accordance with the city's laws, and imprison, punish, or even kill them.

For example, committing murder in the city is an extremely heinous illegal act.

They are like emotionless machines, regardless of your status—whether you are a prince, a ruthless thief, or a member of one of the Five Great Families.

No one can defy the Enforcement Team; if anyone can, it's a corpse.

When Master Cavo rebuilt the city, he granted them the right to act first and report later.

The hunters in the city least wanted to see these white-robed mages. Their appearance meant absolutely nothing good was coming.

The commotion is huge, with a corpse lying in the street with its head crushed and two people seriously injured. This is a very serious public order incident.

The parties involved are all quite powerful.

On one side is the Princess of the Oma Empire, on the other is the royal family of Sid, and it seems that one of the "Ten Great Legends," Bazel, has also escaped.

However, the white-robed mages seemed to have no regard for the group's identities.

The leader glanced at the scene and said calmly, "Take everyone involved away!"

At this command, all was silenced; no one dared to disobey, and no one dared to flee.

Because resisting law enforcement is a more heinous crime than murder, and will result in immediate execution.

[Throat Slash] is a common and quick-kill assassination move, and it is also one of the most difficult wounds for surgeons to handle.

Suffocation, bleeding, and air embolism can all lead to rapid death from an injured person.

Therefore, those who contract the virus often die before doctors can perform surgery.

For ordinary doctors, let alone having the opportunity to perform suturing on their own Throat Slash wounds, even if they save lives their whole lives, they may not have a single case of successfully saving someone from such a fatal injury.

Rein's public surgery was so spectacular it left everyone speechless.

Laymen find it unbelievable, while experts exclaim that it is a divine skill.

Fortunately, due to numerous simulated practice sessions in his "dreamscape," he was able to perform blind stitches on the wound on his neck with unparalleled skill. For most people, this would be an unthinkable feat.

At a command, they began arresting people.

The royal family Qi Ming Sid Ming and the black-robed mage were put in magic-suppressing shackles, and even the noble royal family dared not utter a word. The Heavy Armor Guard who had attacked Ymir earlier was also bound; he voluntarily dropped his sword and surrendered.

But when it was Rein's turn, these cold-faced law enforcement officers were in a dilemma.

They knew perfectly well that the man with the slit neck was definitely involved in the incident, yet they hesitated.

Even now, Rein didn't stop stitching. Since his life was no longer in danger, the ferocious expression on his face faded, and even a hint of relieved joy appeared.

But to outsiders, this expression carries a different meaning.

Such a fatal wound, let alone stitches, who wouldn't be terrified and waiting to die?

Performing surgery in the street is also a remarkable feat.

The needle and thread were still piercing his flesh, how could this guy be so calm?

And what's with that shifty, amused look in your eyes? Are you trying to stitch up your fatal wound? Be serious!

It wasn't that Rein was deliberately being arrogant; he was simply extremely skilled at the operation. Since he couldn't see anything anyway, he might as well watch the spectacle unfold.

Most importantly, the arteries were stitched up with Gang Line, and although the neck wound looked frightening, it was actually no longer life-threatening, which allowed him to perform the surgery so calmly.

These law enforcement officers dared not pull him, for fear that if they did, he would be turned into a human fountain and die on the spot.

They are law enforcement officers, that's true, but they have no right to kill without cause.

The white-bearded mage leading the group was quite knowledgeable, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a bizarre operation of performing surgery in the street.

But if someone commits a crime, they will definitely have to go back for investigation.

He could only ask, "Even if you've broken the law, you have the right to see a doctor in the 'City of Radiance.' Do you need a doctor right now?"

His trachea was cut, and he is temporarily unable to speak.

But this did not prevent Xiuer from expressing herself.

Upon hearing this, Rein quickly pulled on the stitched wound with both hands, and the centipede-shaped stitches were basically completed, and the bleeding stopped.

He withdrew his hand and waved it slightly, indicating that he didn't need it.

The onlookers were terrified to see that this guy could still free his hands during surgery.

The white-bearded monk's expression stiffened slightly, then he said, "Seeing that you are injured, we won't use any torture instruments on you. You'd better come with us to the Security Department!"

Rein stiffened his neck and nodded slightly with a submissive expression, appearing perfectly cooperative in the capture.

Having thoroughly studied the city's laws, he knew that resisting arrest would result in immediate death, so he dared not have the slightest intention of doing so.

These Enforcement Team mages had dealt with countless bloodier battles, but seeing Lei undergo surgery in the street was quite an eye-opener for them.

They didn't dare touch Rein, but surrounded him in the group and led him away.

After walking a few steps, Rein passed by Omar and his group not far away.

Ymir wore Golden Mask, making it impossible to see where her gaze fell.

However, after thinking about it, Rein still gave her a fist bump and then crossed his hands at the base of his thumbs.

This is the common sign language for hunters: Help me, there's a deal.

He knew that Ymir would definitely see it and understand its meaning.

Whether they will help or not depends on whether their friendship has ended.

It's quite a coincidence, actually.

Ymir was able to arrive at the assassination scene before the Enforcement Team because she had just been in an upscale pub three blocks away.

The scene shifts back to one minute earlier, to the "Black Rose Tavern".

Ymir is discussing aid for the city's reconstruction with the Winst Family, but progress seems less than optimistic.

"Your Her Highness the Eldest Princess, my father has already discussed your proposal with the other four families. But unfortunately, even with the efforts of our Winst Family to make this happen, the other families do not seem to agree."

The young man in the magnificent suit who was in charge of the negotiations was August Winster, the eldest son of the Clan Head Winst.

As a princess Ymir would naturally not personally participate in such negotiations.

"No, Mr. August, your family may have some misunderstandings."

Upon hearing this, his accompanying minister also spoke up, "Her Highness the Princess has chosen a location a thousand kilometers away from City of Radiance. I believe this will not pose any threat to City of Radiance's existence. Moreover, we do not require any manpower or resource support; we only wish to obtain some necessary conveniences from your city, such as expedited customs clearance for bulk materials."

The fastest way to build a city west of the Alkolon Mountain Range is to purchase materials from the City of Radiance. For example, steel and other crucial resources for the forging Mechanical City. That's an enormous quantity, impossible to obtain remotely from the Oma Empire.

This is also the biggest reason why Ymir had to personally intervene in the negotiations; it was the first and most crucial step in building the city.

The "City of Radiance" holds a special position, being a neutral territory. Her personal appearance to negotiate demonstrates her considerable sincerity.

But clearly, these guys didn't appreciate it.

August added with a regretful expression, "Your Her Highness the Eldest Princess, it's not that the Winst Family is unwilling to support you, but that's just the rule in this city. Without a vote by the Five Clans Assembly, it's absolutely impossible to build a new large-scale Mechanical City here."

The negotiations reached a stalemate, and it was clear to everyone that the Five Great Families had no intention of allowing the city to be built.

To put it bluntly, these guys who think they're far from the emperor have long been used to the carefree life of being detached from imperial power.

No one can do anything about showing any respect to this Princess who has been abandoned from the center of the power struggle.

Everyone on Omar's side knows that this is just an excuse.

The other four companies gave similar explanations, basically making up various excuses to avoid responsibility.

Without the permission of the Five Great Families, no merchant guild would dare to sell them resources, and this first step in building the city was stuck here.

Now that you've whetted their appetite, it's time to cast in the real bait.

The eldest son of the Winst Family glanced at Ymir, who was wearing Golden Mask, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and said meaningfully, "Actually, there are exceptions."

But before he could finish speaking, Ymir suddenly turned to look out the window.

A gentle breeze swept by, and in the next glance, the beautiful figure had already disappeared into the tavern.

Because she sensed a familiar aura of law three blocks away.

Thanks to 'Kong Zhimo' 500, 'Chenyu G' 400, '150427704308723', and 'Ali'. Thanks to the four big guys for their reward support, thank you.
