Chapter 378

"Does he deserve a beating?"

Stella's confrontation with the thugs also attracted the attention of other passersby.

Gale looked at Stella and her group, scrutinizing Stella's face and figure, and then grinned.

"I thought they were just a few clueless brats. Not bad, not bad, they're just my type. You'll be my woman."

Upon hearing Gale's words, Luo Mio raised an eyebrow, looking at the group of thugs with amusement.

From Gale's words, Luo Mio and the others also understood one thing.

The man in front of them and his gang of henchmen seemed completely unaware of Stella Ikki, and the others' identities.

Several days have passed since the Famillion Campaign, and Ikki has earned the title of "Sword God" by defeating "Black Knight" Alice Arcasrid single-handedly.

Stella, needless to say, is the second Princess of the Vermillion Kingdom and a world-renowned genius A-Rank Knight.

The two are household names.

Looking at the group of people in front of her, Luo Mio couldn't help but wonder if they had escaped from that remote mountain forest where the internet had been cut off.

Gail's gaze and words immediately drew a look of displeasure from Stella.

Huh?

Whether Gale was blind or not, he mistook Stella's displeasure for a look of confusion.

"Should I say he's just a naive kid who's never seen the world? Oh well."

Then he introduced himself with a big laugh.

"I am 'Raging Waves' Gale! The boss of the 'Roster of Evildoers' mercenary group, and I'll soon defeat 'Twin Wings' Edelweiss and become the world's strongest swordsman!"

After saying that, Gail looked at Stella.

"It is your honor to be noticed by the World's Strongest Swordsman in the future, woman."

Hearing Gale's ignorant yet confident words, Sora looked at him as if he were an idiot.

At this time.

"No, it would be your honor if she took a liking to you, Gail."

A deep voice came from a small alleyway nearby. Although the voice was not loud, it was very clear and reached everyone's ears.

The moment the sound appeared, the passersby who had been watching the show also showed solemn and fearful expressions.

Upon hearing this voice, Gale's face turned pale and then flushed.

"Rabe... Kiba..."

Two men emerged from the village alley, one an Asian and the other a Westerner.

The Easterner was dressed in a black kimono, and also wore a katana at his waist.

Westerners, on the other hand, wore bright red motorcycle rider outfits and were all muscular.

The Westerner Rabe also stepped between Stella and Gale, and bowed to Stella.

"It is a great honor to see you today, Crimson Lotus Princess, His Highness Stella!"

Then he looked at Ikki.

"And Stella 'His Highness fiancé, Lord Kurogane Ikki, the 'Sword God,' and..."

After greeting Stella Ikki, Rabe's eyes instantly turned serious and wary as he looked at Luo Mio.

"The Toudo Touka, 'Thousand Stars White Night'..."

Upon hearing Rabe mention the names of "Crimson Lotus Princess" Stella and "Sword God" Kurogane Ikki, the surrounding Blazer and Devil Fruit users all changed their expressions drastically.

Seeing Rabe's gaze, Luo Mio also narrowed her eyes slightly.

Then Rabe introduced himself.

"My name is 'Red Scorpion' Lambert Rabe."

"He is the current captain of the USSS."

Upon hearing Rabe's self-introduction, Ikki and Stella's expressions immediately changed, becoming serious and wary.

Luo Mio also revealed a playful expression.

"So, Mr. Lambert Rabe, the current captain of the U.S., also known as 'Red Scorpion,' what brings you here?"

Judging from the current tense situation between the "League" and the "Alliance", and between the Far East and the U.S., Rabe can be said to be in an adversarial relationship with Luo Mio and Ikki.

It is precisely this hostile relationship that keeps Ikki and Stella constantly on guard against Rabe's actions.

Immediately, a tense and solemn atmosphere spread around, making people feel extremely oppressed.

"..."

After a while.

Rabe's expression immediately relaxed, and then he burst into laughter.

"As expected of Toudo Touka, who is hailed as having the world's greatest magical power."

"His aura was so restrained that no one could detect it at all."

Seeing Rabe's expression, Ikki and Stella were also slightly taken aback.

Luo Mio, however, did not care at all, because because of "Feather of the Dust", Luo Mio knew that the people from the U.S. Special Operations Agency in front of her had no intention of fighting her.

Seeing the confused expressions on Ikki and Stella, Rabe chuckled.

"Although the situation between our two countries is very tense right now, please rest assured that I have no intention of being hostile to you. After all, I am not loyal to that guy Carl Allens."

Although Rabe did not show any hostility, Stella dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Then who are you loyal to?"

"I am loyal to the president of our country."

Upon hearing Rabe's words, Stella replied, "What's the difference?"

"There is a difference!"

Upon hearing Stella's words, Rabe immediately refused.

He wanted to continue speaking, but after glancing at the others around him, he silently shut his mouth.

Seeing this, Luo Mio also spoke softly.

"Let's talk about it later."

After speaking, Luo Mio walked out and looked at everyone present, as well as Gale and his underlings in front of her.

Luo Mio's lips curled up slightly as she surveyed the entire village of Blazer and ability users.

He spoke slowly.

"Everyone."

"I'm very sorry, but this place... needs to be cleared out today."

Chapter Twenty-One: Deterrence!

"This place... needs to be cleared out today."

These words immediately created a heavy and oppressive atmosphere.

Because the underlying meaning of Luo Mio's words was that she hoped everyone present would leave the village.

Upon hearing this, Gale widened one eye and grimaced, looking at Luo Ling as if he hadn't heard Luo Mio's words clearly.

"Huh? Kid, say that again, you son of a bitch?"

Upon hearing Gale's words, Stella began to seriously suspect that this burly man not only had a problem with his eyes, but also with his ears.

Gale clearly knew that the group in front of her was none other than Stella "Crimson Lotus Princess" who had shone brightly in the Famillion Campaign, and Kurogane Ikki, the "Sword God".

But Gail remained unfazed, her eyes revealing a deep-seated contempt and disdain.

Because he simply couldn't believe that this seemingly frail woman was known as A-Rank Knight and had even defeated the "Puppet King" Orl Gol?

Moreover, Gale had seen a picture of the Puppet King; he was just a pathetic kid.

If it were him, he could knock out this brat with one punch.

Then Gale glanced at Ikki was standing next to Stella.

Looking at Ikki's physique, which was just like that of an ordinary person, Gale scoffed. How could a man like this be called a "Sword God"?

Not to mention the androgynous person standing up in front of us.

How can someone like this be hailed as having the world's number one magical power?

Are the rest of the world out of their minds? How can they believe such fabricated stories? Are they blind?

This is clearly a bunch of misleading rumors and fake news that these guys spent a lot of money to have online trolls and news media report.

The thought that he might even have to sell himself for this opportunity made Gail's eyes even more contemptuous.

Then, looking at Luo Mio, he spoke fiercely and arrogantly.

"I don't care how much money you spent to build your fame, or how much money you spent on your androgynous body. I advise you to be smart and get out of my way."

Upon seeing Gale, Luo Mio wore an expression that was both amusing and heartbreaking.

He turned to Rabe and said.

"Mr. Rabe, you can leave first. We can talk again after everything here is over."

After hearing Luo Mio's words, Rabe nodded, then exchanged a glance with Kiba before leaving.

Before leaving, Rabe looked at the stubborn Gale and gave him a look that said, "You'd better watch yourself."

After seeing Rabe leave, Luo Mio turned back to look at Gale and said with a light laugh.

"Such unprecedented ignorance is, to be honest, the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Gale's eyes narrowed, and he spoke with a tone filled with anger.

"What did you say?! You f***ing..."

Luo Mio raised her hand to interrupt Gale, shook her head at Gale, and smiled.

"No, I'm not insulting you. On the contrary, I'm praising you."

Upon hearing this, Gail and his henchmen were momentarily stunned.

Luo Mio looked at Gail, shrugged, and said.

"In a way, ignorance is also a kind of strength; at least you won't be easily scared off by rumors from the outside world."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Gale's lips twitched slightly, and countless veins bulged on his forehead.

Similarly, seeing their boss so angry, Gale's underlings also glared at Luo Mio.

"You brat, do you want to die?!"

"If you want to die, we'll grant your wish right now!"

As they spoke, the group of thugs also took out their Device and faced them at Luo Mio.

Seeing this, Luo Mio smiled gently.

Seeing that Luo Mio was so dismissive of him, Gale immediately picked up the Device Zanbatou he carried on his shoulder and slashed it fiercely at Luo Mio's head.

"Drink up! Drink up!"

With Gale's roar, the giant Zanbatou came crashing down on Luo Mio's head.

Gale could even picture Luo Mio's body being cleaved in two by his own Zanbatou, her blood splattering on the village roads.

However, fantasy is just fantasy, and the real world is extremely cruel!

Luo Mio raised her hand and easily blocked Gale's attack.

"What?!"

Gail stared in astonishment at the scene before her, as did everyone else present.

Luo Mio felt the blow to her arm and nodded thoughtfully.
