The female officer at the head led what looked like a group of civilian officers to Arthur and raised her left hand to signal City Defense Army to put down the gun.
Then, he looked at Arthur, raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "I'm sorry, I'm deeply sorry for the misunderstanding just now."
"He-he-." Arthur replied "hehe" to the other party, but still maintained a cynical smile and said:
"Miss, this is not the tone of your apology. Besides...
(Glancing at the City Defense Army behind the opponent)
Besides, when you gain power, you have to be prepared to die. Obviously, your subordinates are not of good quality."
After listening to Arthur's words, the female officer's eyes flashed with anger, but it didn't seem to be directed at Arthur.
There was a pause.
The female officer said coldly to Arthur: "They are not my subordinates, and they will not obey my orders. I hope you will not dwell on the previous misunderstanding."
"Oh?"
After hearing what the female officer said, Arthur seemed to have gotten a lot of useful information, and he suddenly became interested in "playing" with this lighthouse.
Immediately, Arthur immediately put away his previous cynical demeanor and immediately transformed into a kind smile like his father. He bowed slightly and said in a very gentlemanly manner:
"So that's it. It's me who should apologize. I started to take offense before I understood the situation. I hope you can accept my sincere apology, ma'am.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Arthur Russell, just call me Arthur, I wonder what your name is...?"
"Um...?" Arthur's attitude changed 180 degrees, catching the female officer off guard.
But her expression only flashed with panic, and she quickly regained her composure, still saying coolly:
"I am the commander-in-chief of the lighthouse control room, Jing Nan. It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Russell."
"It turns out to be Miss Jing Nan." Arthur suddenly realized, and then kept smiling and gave a symbolic compliment:
"Your voice in real life is much more pleasant to the ear than when it's on communication."
"Thank you very much."
But this symbolic compliment seemed more like a deliberate attempt to please Jing Nan in the lighthouse.
Slowly.
Jing Nan then recovered as before, and said quietly to Arthur with a cold face again, "Mr. Russell, our city lord hopes that you can participate in our Court Session."
"Court Session?" Arthur was stunned.
But he quickly guessed that this Court Session should be a gathering of high-level officials from various forces in the lighthouse to discuss the future meeting.
'It's just a good time to see what kind of small groups there are in this lighthouse.'
Arthur, who had the answer in his mind, readily agreed, "No problem."
Seeing that Arthur seemed to be easy to talk to, Jing Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Vision glanced at Heros, the bodyguard and the mad tooth shark behind Arthur, and said with a troubled expression:
"Mr. Russell, these subordinates of yours..."
"Don't worry, I will keep them on standby here. They will never move around at will until I discuss the matter with your city lord.
But..." Arthur said, and raised his left hand to carry Heros on his right shoulder, and smiled at Jing Nan:
"I need to take my 'adjutant' with me. You shouldn't refuse this request, Miss Jing."
"Of course." Jing Nan had no reason to refuse Arthur's request.
Arthur, with his hands behind his back and his voice raised, ordered the guards and the Mad Tooth Shark: "Remove the alert and stay where you are."
"Yes."
After receiving instructions from Arthur, the guards and the Mad Tooth Shark lowered their guns in unison, but still did not relax their vigilance.
Although they are confronting a group of the City Defense Army who can only dominate internally and are useless externally.
See this.
Jing Nan, who had his back turned to Arthur, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The calmness I showed before cannot be said to be entirely fake, but it is at least 80% true.
Each of the personal guards, each over two and a half meters tall, unleashed an unabashed crushing momentum, making it impossible for anyone to breathe.
Fortunately, Jing Nan had extraordinary courage and could barely resist the pressure and negotiate with Arthur. Otherwise, Arthur might have directly occupied the lighthouse because he was too lazy to play games.
Later.
"Please come with me, Mr. Russell." Jing Nan turned his back to Arthur and reminded him quietly, then led his men away.
"Let's go, nephew."
"Hmm."
Arthur and Heros, the uncle and nephew, just had a brief conversation and then followed up with Jing Nan and others who were walking in front.
Soon, the group of people passed through the gate leading to the interior and left the largest warehouse of the lighthouse.
But...
The silent confrontation in the warehouse did not stop because Arthur and Jing Nan left.
Since they did not receive orders, more than a hundred City Defense Army had to stay in this suffocating warehouse on standby.
"Oh, garbage." Seeing the frightened City Defense Army, Rosen complained with great disdain.
"Shua--."
At this moment, the sound of the gate opening came again.
When Rosen heard the sound, he saw an officer with a black back and carefully groomed beard, wearing the same uniform as City Defense Army, leading a group of subordinates into the warehouse.
Moreover, the officer walked up to the hundreds of the City Defense Army with a arrogant expression.
He raised his chin and looked at the guards, Rosen and the other mad tooth sharks, and said in a choked tone:
"City Defense Army, remove the weapons from these outsiders!"
"This..."
"But..."
After the officer finished speaking, he did not receive a word of approval from the City Defense Army. Instead, he received a response of doubt and timidity.
"Huh?!" Unexpectedly, his subordinates were so disrespectful. The officer turned to look at the hundreds of the City Defense Army behind him and threatened:
"Why, my Senger's order doesn't work? You all know the consequences of disobeying the order, right? You don't need me to review it for you?!"
City Defense Army all looked at each other, but due to the fact that they belonged to the lighthouse organization, they had to muster up the courage to respond in unison:
"Yes!"
Immediately afterwards, the City Defense Armys cautiously approached the guards and the Mad Tooth Shark, trying to snatch away the firearms of Thunder Halberd, Boltgun and Gauss Series.
I thought that the bodyguards and the Crazy Tooth Shark would resist, but unexpectedly, these two elites didn't move at all. They seemed to be following Arthur's standby instructions.
After hearing this, the more than a hundred City Defense Army subordinate to Commander Senger finally stopped feeling frustrated and immediately stretched out their hands to pull the weapons of the guards and the Berserk Sharks.
But...
Not moving at all.
Those City Defense Army tried their best, but they couldn't move the weapons in the hands of the guards and the madly toothed sharks. They were as hard as steel bars poured with concrete.
"Get lost."
Just look, disturbed by the City Defense Army's power, which is insignificant compared to a mosquito bite, a guard with a bad temper shook his hands in displeasure.
"Ah!!"
"Puff!"
However, with just this shake, City Defense Army, who was trying to seize Thunder Halberd, flew several meters away, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
As the captain of the Mad Tooth Shark, Rosen's temper was even more violent, and he immediately said loudly:
"Fuck you guys, if you don't want your stronghold to fall, you have to stop immediately, otherwise the guards have the right to disobey orders."
