"When was it installed?" Zhou Quan was shocked.
"Do I need to tell you that? This is all to protect the property and personal safety of the city's residents, and to deal with the current situation. I came here personally to directly access the surveillance footage and discovered the culprit," Xiao Tian said, scoffing.
Upon hearing this, the city defense team, Boss Li, and the others were dumbfounded! Their eyes were filled with awe and admiration!
"You three, come with me to catch the murderer. Boss Li, you take your employees to get something to eat and calm down."
A moment later, Xiao Tian and the others arrived at a very remote residential area, which was designated as an uninhabited area where the murderer lived.
Xiao Tian swaggered over, kicking open the iron gate to the villa's courtyard. His gaze was sharp as he looked at the villa and said coldly, "Will I drag you out, or will you come out yourself?"
"Could they be those suicidal aliens?" Zhou Quan guessed.
The city defense squad thought so too.
Ten seconds later, there was movement inside the villa.
"My lord! Don't lay a hand on me! I surrender! I confess!"
Soon, the door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes appeared.
The city's garrison was terrified; were they alien races in human form?
"Tsk tsk, they're actually city residents." Zhou Quan saw through their deception at a glance.
"City dwellers?" The city guard squad was astonished; the three of them had guessed wrong—they weren't aliens after all.
Xiao Tian walked straight up to the man, looking down at him with icy eyes, and interrogated him. "Give me a satisfactory explanation."
Beike Misaiya smiled bitterly to himself. He had thought his plan was foolproof, but he hadn't expected the city lord to personally intervene, which filled him with both admiration and fear.
I admire the city lord for personally investigating the case for the sake of the life and property of a mere citizen of Luo Cheng, but I am terrified of what my future will hold.
"Lord City Lord, I was blinded by greed! I admit my mistake! I set fire to the rice shop, and the stolen rice was all inside the villa!"
Beike Misaiya wept, saying, "I have a daughter who has suffered from an eye ailment since childhood, unable to see the beautiful colors of the world. Even in this era, with a powerful being like you, my daughter still cannot regain her sight. I lack the resources to help her seek medical treatment. By chance, I learned from the alien races that the feathers of the Bai He Clan can cleanse toxins, and their holy power can heal wounds, cure terminal illnesses, and even cure this eye ailment..."
"I secretly contacted a member of the Bai He Clan, and after getting the answer, I cooperated with them to procure rice. I originally had enough money to buy rice and shoes, but a sworn enemy tricked me and caused me financial loss. In a moment of madness, in order to cure my daughter's eye disease, I came up with a plan..."
Zhou Quan said speechlessly, "Since you're cooperating with the alien race, aren't you just throwing the trouble onto them by committing this crime? It will make people suspect from the start that it's revenge from the alien race."
"My lord, you are right." Beike Misaiya said with a wry smile, "According to the plan, it would indeed make people suspect the alien race at first glance, but since the alien race did not do anything, there would be no trouble if no evidence was found. The time and place of my operation were also very secretive. I was sure that I was really flawless, but I did not expect that the city lord would still see through it."
Xiao Tian sneered, "Your location and timing of the investigation were indeed very cunning. If it weren't for the new type of surveillance camera at one end of the street, you would have succeeded. You can only say you're unlucky; those surveillance cameras were modified by me."
Beike Misaiya gave a bitter smile, knelt on the ground, and sighed with his head down, "I have nothing to say about losing to the city lord. I will bear whatever the crime is, but I hope it won't involve my daughter."
Get up.
Beike Misaiya was taken aback.
Xiao Tian sneered, "You should be glad you're telling the truth and not making it up. As a father, your actions were indeed wrong, but as a father, wanting what's best for your child is good. However, this 'good for your child' cannot be achieved at the expense of others' interests and lives. Fortunately, there were no casualties."
"Your daughter will be back in 500 meters. Wait while I treat her eyes. After that, have your daughter go to the Evolver Pavilion with my letter of introduction and find Nangong Yanrou."
Nangong Yanrou is an elder of the Biyou Palace, and is now the director of the Luo Cheng Evolver Pavilion.
Although Xiao Tian Xiao Tian didn't know what had gotten into this girl that led her to come to Luo Cheng to teach the Evolver, he didn't care about any schemes or tricks. He could just punch her if necessary.
The city defense squad, including Beike Misaiya, was shocked by Xiao Tian's words.
This seems like they're not only not being punished, but they're even giving benefits! Huge benefits!
"Lord of the City, why?" Beike Misaiya asked, his expression pained and his eyes filled with confusion.
"Heh... I can only say you're quite impressed, having such a talented daughter. Out of respect for your daughter, I'll let you off this time, but you'll still need to compensate the rice shop owner for his losses."
Upon receiving the explanation, Beike Misaiya was overjoyed and repeatedly kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Lord City Lord! Thank you, Lord City Lord! Beck will certainly atone for his sins!"
Not long after, Beike Misaiya's daughter returned. She was a blonde little girl, about thirteen years old, and was brought back by Beck's friend.
Beck is a foreigner who settled in Country H many years ago. His wife was from the same country and died during the great spiritual revival. Beck fled with his daughter and entered Luo Cheng Luo Cheng make a living before Xiao Tian arrived.
"Dad! We have guests at home!"
Having regained her composure, though her eyes were slightly red, Beike Misaiya smiled and introduced Xiao Tian and the others to her daughter, Oulunna.
"I know you, Lord City Lord! You are a god! You are the guardian of Luo Cheng!" Oulunna was overjoyed that her idol, the Lord City Lord, had come to visit, but she was also disappointed that she couldn't see what her idol looked like.
"Dad, isn't the city lord handsome? Even more handsome than you, Dad?"
Beck nodded emphatically, his voice trembling with tears, "Yes, the city lord is very handsome, much more handsome than Dad."
Xiao Tian smiled, ruffled Oulunna's soft, fluffy blonde hair, and said, "Little girl, do you want to see this world?"
Oulunna was taken aback, then exclaimed excitedly, "Brother City Lord, can you let me see the colors of this world?"
"Of course," I said, "Now you can see the beautiful colors of this world."
As Xiao Tian finished speaking, Oulunna felt a cool sensation in her eyes, which she hadn't felt before. She quickly felt a Sisi coolness spreading through them, yet it was also warm. Two seconds later, she subconsciously opened her eyelids, and the world she saw had changed!
"I see it! What a... what a beautiful world!"
Oulunna smiled Ruhua, looked at the sky and then at the villa, before quickly turning to her father, Xiao Tian, and the others.
"So handsome, he must be the city lord!"
"You have a good eye, little girl." Xiao Tian chuckled and ruffled Oulunna's hair.
"The city lord is so handsome!"
" Nana!" Beck cried with emotion.
"Hmm, something so ugly and greasy, it must be Daddy!"
Beck's embarrassing moment.
Oulunna was very cheerful. With her eyesight restored, her mood became even more cheerful. After meeting Xiao Tian and the others, she couldn't wait to see the flowers and plants in the yard and carefully examine everything she had never seen before.
Beck was overjoyed, tears streaming down his face.
"My lord, I, Beike Misaiya, hereby swear that from this day forward, my life belongs to you! Whatever you command, I will do!"
"Get up. Don't let the child see any more. Remember what I said before: go inside first. I'll write a letter of introduction, and tomorrow you'll send your daughter to the Evolver Pavilion as instructed."
Beck nodded.
Inside the room, Beck watched with curiosity as the city lord wrote a letter on the spot without any attempt at concealment.
He was stunned when he saw the contents.
"Beautiful lady, whatever your purpose in coming to live in my Luo Cheng, I don't care. But you must teach this little girl well, that's all."
Beck felt a chill run down his spine! Is this the wise and mighty city lord? Even writing a letter exudes such domineering power!
"Amazing! No wonder you're the City Lord!"
