The Saint Who Caught Up / Suika's Verbal Jutsu

So it's quite obvious that this was a deliberate honey trap.

The thought of her carefully selected spices rolling on the ground and being trampled into a mess by the crowd instantly ignited Suika's anger.

She reached out and the man covered his neck, then floated up under the watchful eyes of those around them.

The other person struggled fiercely, but it felt as if an invisible giant was tightly gripping their neck.

He looked at Suika with terrified eyes, opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but before he could speak, he saw Suika, who was holding up her hand, squeeze it.

The man's neck was instantly twisted into a ball, and he died on the spot.

"Murder!"

People around gasped in surprise.

When we first saw that scene, everyone was ready to watch the show, since we all knew that man; he was a notorious thug in the town who often used these kinds of tricks to bully newcomers and the elderly, weak, and disabled.

Chapter 525 The Saints Who Caught Up

Suika was targeted by this thug from the moment she entered the town.

After seeing her spend money like water, buying a large amount of spices, the man made up his mind to devour Suika, this fat sheep.

He just didn't expect the fat sheep to suddenly turn into a tiger.

Moreover, the other party was a complete brute, daring to suddenly kill someone on this busy street.

In the blink of an eye, he went from hunter to prey, dying on the street before he could even beg for mercy.

Upon seeing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they quickly packed their things and moved away from the area.

Everyone who makes a living here has seen a dead body, and most of them have blood on their hands.

But no matter who it is, murder and robbery are always done in secret; no one is as reckless as Suika in disregarding the consequences.

So everyone promptly moved away from this area, not wanting to get too close to this somewhat eccentric little girl.

After throwing the body down, Suika looked at the spices scattered all over the ground with a pained expression.

Shanghai hurriedly arrived at Suika's place, where her anger had not yet subsided. Fearing that she might lose her temper and go on a killing spree, he disregarded his doll disguise, flew in front of her, pointed to the symbol on the back of her hand, and then pointed to the spices on the ground.

"Yes, I can collect the spices and put them in the Gap."

Suika slapped her forehead, remembering that she still had the useful Gap.

With a flick of her wrist, the spices on the ground flew into the air, then, after shedding their dust, settled into the back of her hand.

Just as she finished packing up the spices and was about to leave, she suddenly found that the road ahead was blocked.

Raising her eyes, Suika's icy voice sent a chill down the spine of the guards in front of her.

"What, you want to avenge this guy?"

"You committed murder in public, violating Iberia law..." the leader said tremblingly.

He looked at the corpse and felt a bit overwhelmed. As a manager, what he feared most was encountering a brat with such formidable strength.

Adults consider the consequences of their actions, but children only act according to their feelings.

It was obvious that the little girl in front of him had a rather impulsive personality, and from what the others had just said, she also possessed powerful Originium Arts.

He was just an ordinary person. It was the judges, not a lowly street clerk like him, who was responsible for maintaining order, who should be dealing with those Originium Arts.

Before he could finish speaking, Suika gave him a cold look, and he obediently shut his mouth.

To become a manager in such a chaotic place, one must first have exceptional insight, which is something he is proud of.

With just one glance, he knew that the little girl in front of him was a killer.

There's no reasoning with this kind of person. I either have to give way or die here like this unlucky guy.

There was no need to consider how to choose; with a wave of his hand, his men promptly made way for him.

Seeing the road reopen, Suika walked over with satisfaction.

"I am not Iberia, so naturally I am not subject to your laws..."

After she finished speaking, she glanced around and saw that everyone was avoiding her gaze, which made her feel a little bored.

"Hmph! Boring!"

I won't make things difficult for you. Tell those who want revenge for him that I'm waiting outside the city. If you want to die, come and get it yourself.

But I'll only wait half an hour. If you're a coward, you should stay quietly in the corner and not embarrass yourself."

Suika deliberately spoke loudly so that everyone could hear her clearly.

After saying that, she walked out without looking back.

After she left, the others gathered around her again.

"Boss, what do we do now?" one of his men asked, pointing to the corpse in the middle of the road.

"What should we do? What should we do?! Drag him out and throw him far away to bury him."

Otherwise, are you still going to observe mourning for him?

Hearing his subordinate's words, the manager was furious.

Being threatened in public is bad enough, but his subordinates also don't seem to understand the situation.

He finished cursing and turned to leave, not wanting to linger there for even a moment longer.

As for Suika's matter, let the judge and that guy's companion handle it themselves.

He doesn't want to get involved.

After leaving the street Suika headed straight out of the city.

After arriving at a hillside, she looked at the location with satisfaction.

This is a good place, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, a place with excellent feng shui, and also suitable for burial.

She sat down on the spot, took out a piece of dried meat and placed it on the stone in front of her. Then, with a snap of her fingers, high temperature rose around the dried meat and it began to roast. She then sat down next to him, picked up Ibuki Gourd and drank the sake in fits and starts.

News of the murder in the town quickly reached the ears of the town's judge.

He was somewhat shocked upon hearing the news.

Although the town was indeed somewhat chaotic, and various forces were mixed together, they were all under his control.

At least superficially, it maintains a basic stability.

It was precisely because of the presence of privateers from various places who sold their stolen goods here that the town never lacked anything.

In this way, the town's residents were able to live relatively comfortably even after the Great Silence.

But this stability has been shattered today.

He knew he had to step forward and do something, otherwise, if he lost his authority and the thieves and bandits from all over the place felt that his power had weakened, they would inevitably bare their fangs at the town.

"Where did the murderer go?" he asked his men.

"That girl went out through the west gate..."

His subordinate quickly replied.

He immediately grabbed his weapons and equipment, ready to give chase.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

"Who is it!" He looked up at the door. This was his own base. Even his men would knock properly before entering. He hadn't encountered someone just pushing the door open like this in a long time.

But when he saw who it was, he was so frightened he almost jumped out of his skin.

"Kar... Your Majesty Carmen ..."

Carmen glanced at him after entering, then spoke.

"You don't need to go, leave it to me..."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

"It's over..." The man's first thought was that Carmen meant he had been fired and was no longer needed to deal with this place, so he didn't need to go.

In fact, Carmen could tell at a glance that this person's strength was too ordinary, and he was only at a below-average level in the Inquisitor's team.

Going after Suika would only result in him killing another person and adding another blood debt to her list.

As for how he has managed this town over the years, Carmen has no time to find out.

Upon entering the city, he heard about the murder that had occurred during the riot. After gathering information from witnesses, he rushed over and stopped the local judge before he could chase after him.

Then I chased after him.

It was already a huge stretch to finish all this in such a short time; as for the situation in the city and the composition of its inhabitants, he simply didn't have time to find out.

Chapter 526 Suika's Talk-no-Jutsu

After the Suika was grilled at the mountaintop, we ate it while waiting.

Suddenly, I saw a person walking up the mountain.

She recognized him as a judge at a glance from his attire.

"One person?"

Suika muttered something and then looked up at Shanghai, which was swaying in the sky.

Shanghai shook his head to indicate that no one else had followed.

Once the other person got closer and their appearance was clear, Suika realized why he had come alone.

"Yare yare!"

Suika subconsciously took out the Ibuki Gourd.

As the other person drew closer, Suika pulled out two cups from the Gap; she had just picked them up casually after seeing them looking pretty on the street.

She picked up the Ibuki Gourd, poured two glasses of wine, and looked at Carmen who was walking towards her.

You've arrived.

"I am coming!"

You shouldn't have come!

"I had to come..."

After Carmen finished speaking, she raised an eyebrow when she saw Suika pointing to the wine glass, then plopped down opposite Suika.

But he didn't reach for the wine glass next to him.

"Do you know me?"

"If there is anyone in Iberia I admire, you should be the only one... Mr. 'Saint' Carmen."

Suika nodded.

She was quite respectful to the person in front of her.

As can be seen from the story, this saint is arguably the most clear-headed person in the entire Iberia state religion.

While others instinctively seek violent solutions to every problem, he alone is thoughtful and tolerant.

As long as the other party is not the Church of the Deep or the Seaborn, two absolute enemies of Iberia, then his stance will not be so sharp.

For example, the files on the Star-guiding Thorns show that while most members of the Iberian Inquisition distrusted the Thorns who went to sea, Carmen held a completely different view.

Carmen was somewhat surprised after hearing Suika's words, because she could tell from Suika's tone that she wasn't lying.

He glanced at Suika's armband, and after clearly seeing one of the symbols, he became even more annoyed.

"Catastrophe Messenger? What's the other one?"

"Rhodes Island Medical Corporation..." Suika said without any hesitation.

"A medical company?" Carmen said, somewhat puzzled.

"It's a newly established medical company, an organization that specializes in researching Oripathy and treating Infected," Suika replied.

"Can Oripathy be cured?"

"No, but Rhodes Island has developed a new type of medicine that can stop acute Oripathy and reduce the concentration of Originium in Infected to a level that does not affect their lives."

While it's impossible to completely eradicate Oripathy, with regular treatment, those Infected can live a normal, stable life.

Suika continued in her reply.
