Luca took a deep breath and looked at Theresa and the others. Their beautiful and adorable appearances made Luca clench his fists, unable to bear it. Theresa, having been a Trailblazer before, knew Luca wasn't a bad person.
"Hey, hey, kiddo."
Theresa called out softly. Luca looked up in surprise at Theresa, who seemed to be talking to him.
"Don't you want to piss off that old man? How about we throw the fight and then start demolishing his Fighting Club?"
"Like, you dodge our attacks, and we dodge yours, so our attacks land on the club instead."
Theresa's tiny voice made Luca's eyes light up. He subtly nodded to the four women.
And so, the two parties began their act. For instance, March 7th unleashed a barrage of ice arrows that narrowly missed Luca, striking the wall of the Fighting Club. The wall froze over, and as everyone knows, frozen objects become very fragile.
Then, Bronya pulled out her gun and shot at Luca, who carefully dodged. The bullets hit the frozen wall, and it collapsed with a roar. The audience, shouting and yelling, fled the club. After all, they'd pay to watch, but they wouldn't risk their lives!
Amidst Scott's heartbroken cries, the once packed audience scrambled away. Some even snatched up some Belobog Shields scattered on the ground. Seeing this, Scott desperately shouted for the boxers to guard the tables where the Belobog Shields were placed. However, the boxers, seeing the stray bullets and arrows flying, the roaring sounds, and the collapsing Fighting Club, shook their heads.
Anyone who stepped forward now would face the attacks of both sides who were in the heat of battle. They valued their lives dearly!
Then, to Scott's dumbfounded gaze, Theresa ran to the table where the Belobog Shields were placed, leaped up, and Luca delivered a ferocious punch to the table. With a thunderous boom, the Belobog Shields on the table scattered everywhere. The people from the Lower City went wild, rushing forward to grab them.
"No! My Belobog Shields, my money! Dr. Curious, medicine! Give me medicine!"
Scott, overwhelmed by his emotions, felt his vision darken and collapsed on the ground, shouting.
However, Dr. Curious silently walked away, watching him with indifference. Not only that, but his servants and boxers all indifferently distanced themselves, watching him.
"You! You ungrateful people, I've been feeding you!"
Scott roared in exasperation. Amidst the final roar, the Fighting Club collapsed. March 7th had already quickly collected most of the Belobog Shields. She planned to check if the Underworld Fire was okay later. If it was, she would hand over these Belobog Shields to the Underworld Fire, allowing them to return them to their rightful owners.
"Hahaha, that was awesome!"
"This cursed building, may it fall!"
Luca shouted happily, and the people of the Lower City cheered with joy. Scott had already died of anger, but no one cared about him.
{Hmm, is the author going too far? This old man is already so annoying in the game.}
"Thank you for coming and breaking the rotten rules here, ushering this pathetic and hateful person to his end."
Luca glanced at Scott's body lying on the ground, ignored by everyone, and sighed.
"We didn't expect him to die of anger. We just wanted to teach him a lesson."
March 7th cried out, hugging Theresa fearfully. The girls' guilty and frightened expressions made everyone smile bitterly.
"Don't blame yourselves too much, little March. Think about all the people he harmed and wronged. Did they volunteer for that?"
"This isn't our fault; it's his own fault. This is his just deserts."
Dan Heng stepped forward and said to the frightened March 7th. Luca also expressed that while he was grateful to Scott for paying for his mechanical arm, he had indirectly helped Scott amass so much wealth over the years, indirectly causing some families to be ruined. He couldn't stand Scott any longer.
"Alright, I no longer owe anything here. I will return to the Underworld Fire tomorrow and confess everything, making public what I've done helping Scott all these years. I will repent for those people and hope for atonement."
"Finally, the deceased should be respected. He helped me, so I will help him one last thing: to be buried in peace."
Luca sighed and said with a bitter smile. After speaking, he walked over, picked up Scott's body, and slowly walked away under the disgusted gazes of the Lower City residents.
"Everyone here has it tough. Miners suffer from silicosis, the Underworld Fire faces all sorts of Abyss Monsters, and the public lives precariously."
Bronya said with a somber expression. She thought it was her responsibility, that the Silvermane Guard hadn't helped the people of the Lower City enough.
"This isn't your fault, Bronya. It was Cocolia, influenced by the Stellaron, who made the wrong choices. These responsibilities should be attributed to the Stellaron."
"After all, you told us last night when we were chatting that Cocolia was a very gentle mother when you were little. We also learned that you were adopted by her. Since every Supreme Guardian is alone, why do Supreme Guardians seem to never marry?"
March 7th asked Bronya curiously.
"I'm not too sure about that. It seems that since a very long time ago, the Supreme Guardians had to live to protect the people. By some unspoken rule, every Supreme Guardian seems to have not formed a new family. I don't know the reason for this."
Bronya shook her head in confusion.
{This is also why the author is curious. It seems that throughout Belobog's history, the Supreme Guardians have never married or had children; they were always alone, at most adopting a girl as their successor. Are there any readers who understand this aspect and can explain?}
"Alright, I think I see Sampo. He's watching the fun from afar. Let's go find him. This guy disappeared as soon as he got off the train, always backstabbing us."
Theresa, with her sharp eyes, spotted Sampo's sneaky figure and told everyone. The group quickly chased after where Sampo had fled, leaving the citizens to pick up the scattered Belobog Shields.
Soon, people from the Underworld Fire arrived to deal with the Fighting Club, which had been reduced to ruins. With the precedent set by the Stellaron Hunters, the Underworld Fire considered rebuilding the Fighting Club into a large shopping mall, which could also help improve the situation of the public setting up stalls haphazardly. It was a perfect solution for both problems.
Theresa leaped up and stepped on Sampo's back as he couldn't dodge in time. She looked at Sampo, who was struggling on the ground, with a grin.
"Running away, huh? You think you're so fast? Want me to have Judas add some flair for you?"
Theresa grinned wickedly, staring at Sampo struggling beneath her feet.
"That's right! You always backstab us and leave us behind, and then you blame us for not trusting you. Who would trust you when you're always backstabbing?"
March 7th also kicked Sampo's butt, saying angrily. Stelle pulled out a baseball bat and looked eager to hit Sampo on the head, but Dan Heng, sweating with embarrassment, stopped her.
