The real Blood Knight's fury.

The leader made it clear. "Our therapists never treat patients for free."

Liu He took out the strange peach.

The emerald green Forbidden Fruit instantly captured the attention of both the leader and the healer, suppressing the healer's anger, which transformed into greed, while the leader's eyes also harbored greed.

Liu He watched the two of them without showing any emotion.

When Ye Jiang saw Liu He take out the strange peach to stop him, not only was the therapist angry, but she also had a lot of opinions about him. She was unhappy that he had lied to her, so she didn't plan to take the treatment fee. But Liu He had already taken out the treatment fee he had prepared.

She pursed her lips, but ultimately said nothing, because it wasn't her who needed treatment, nor was it her peach.

Liu He clenched his fingers, gathering the Forbidden Fruit in his palm. The leader and the healer's eyes followed it unconsciously for a moment. Liu He lowered his eyes, thinking that the allure of the Forbidden Fruit was no less than that of this cage.

The therapist asked anxiously, "Where are you injured? I'll treat your injury..."

"There's only one Forbidden Fruit," Liu He interrupted him.

Therapist: "I know!"

There aren't that many strange peaches; having even one is already quite remarkable!

Liu He suddenly chuckled. His usually cold expression vanished, replaced by a slightly sinister air. His gaze shifted between the leader of "Peaceful Village" and the healer, and he said, "But I see the leader is quite interested in it too."

"You're all leaders of the organization, so who will accept this one and only treatment fee?" Liu He asked. "Oh, that's an internal matter for your organization. I was just being nosy."

He said, "Please have a therapist treat me."

The therapist remained still, his wary gaze fixed on the leader.

The leader's face twitched. He paused, then said hypocritically, "What are you saying? Such a precious Forbidden Fruit should naturally only be possessed by a precious healer."

The therapist might be somewhat oblivious to other things, but he was a hypocrite and extremely sensitive to hypocrisy. He saw through the leader's lie at a glance, slammed his fist on the table, and attacked the leader directly, throwing a dark object that exploded with a bang. It was a special artifact containing supernatural powers, but the leader was prepared and used an earthen wall to block it.

As Ye Jiang watched the two start fighting, Liu He gently pulled her aside to prevent her from getting caught in the crossfire.

The three stood aside watching the two leaders of "Peaceful Village" fight amongst themselves. The healer wasn't as strong as the leader, but she had a lot of special items, and the two were actually evenly matched. Ye Jiang looked at the scene and felt a little tempted to take out an apple and bite into it. It wasn't that she was being extravagant; it was just... the atmosphere.

As she hesitated, a bright green fruit suddenly appeared before her. She looked at it in confusion, and Liu He, holding the Forbidden Fruit, said to her, "This strange peach is for you. Once they've finished fighting, please have a healer treat me."

"Let" means to coerce by force.

Liu He originally planned to use the Forbidden Fruit to get the healer to treat his injuries, but the healer's manipulative tactics disgusted him, so he changed his mind.

Ye Jiang looked at the Green Peach, then glanced at Liu He. She took the strange peach and said, "Hmm."

This suited her perfectly; she also felt the therapist didn't deserve payment. Besides, she didn't see anything dangerous in the leaders of "Peaceful Village," guessing they were no different from "Hyenas."

The three watched the infighting in "Peaceful Village" silently. Just as the battle was about to end, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. A tall woman appeared in the doorway, supporting an injured man. Upon seeing the fight inside, she raised an eyebrow.

"It's so lively?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Jiang shifted her gaze from the infighting leader and healer, looked towards the door, and her eyes flickered when she saw who it was.

"Boss," she called out.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Pei noticed someone in the corner of the room—oh, a familiar face.

In an instant, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her. She recalled her frustrating experience with her boss, but also the unpredictable skill level of a certain Waiter. If she had to describe it, she would say it was a feeling of both relief and frustration.

Chapter 44 The Wrath of the True Blood Knight

Waiter have also come to City S?

What is she doing here?

Two questions flashed through the mind of the head of the Ability Control Bureau. Her gaze fell on the Waiter, sensing something strange about him. What was strange about him? Xiao Pei pondered. Just then, the Iron Man superhuman she was supporting suddenly coughed violently, coughing up several mouthfuls of bloody spittle that stained his clothes red. Xiao Pei quickly stopped pondering, steadied her teammate, and glanced towards the target she had come to find—

- The healer of "Peaceful Village".

The two leaders of "Peaceful Village" have stopped fighting. Of course they're done fighting now; the head of the Operations Team from the Bureau of the Ability Control Bureau has arrived, and if they were to continue fighting, it would be disrespectful to the number one A-Rank person.

The fighting has stopped, but a rift has formed between the two leaders, and they can never return to the close bond they once shared as partners in governing "Peaceful Village."

The two stood on opposite sides, facing each other.

It was no secret that the head of the Bureau of the Ability Control Bureau had come to City S. The fact that her team was hunting down Blood Knight was common knowledge throughout the city. Some people were moved by her sense of righteousness, while others thought that she had lost her mind because of her sense of righteousness and was simply tired of living. The two leaders of Peaceful Village belonged to the latter group, but they only dared to think about it in their hearts.

This wasn't the first time Xiao Pei had brought injured people here to see a therapist. "Peaceful Village" always treated her and her team members for free and didn't dare to charge them. No matter how arrogant they were, they wouldn't dare to be arrogant enough to treat the publicly acknowledged number one A-Rank person.

The title of the top A-Rank expert was well-deserved. Now that she had visited again, the leader of "Peaceful Village" had to stop their internal strife and adopt an official tone. "Captain Xiao, you're looking for a healer? The Blood Knight has descended on the ' Hyenas ' territory next door. You just fought the Blood Knight, didn't you? You must have had a tough time. Did you gain anything?"

Xiao Pei knew this leader wasn't genuinely trying to extract information from her. These complex organizations in the city were only concerned with their own survival; as long as disaster didn't befall them, they weren't uninterested in the Blood Knight, and were even afraid of knowing too much and disrupting their peace. People like the leader of "Peaceful Village" were just ordinary, insignificant figures before entering City S City S. After arriving, they used the local situation to build cliques and become powerful figures, but within days, they had mastered the art of pretense. Xiao Pei found his words grating and didn't bother arguing. She placed the wounded man on the expensive, soft sofa in the room and said succinctly, "Heal him."

"Oh dear, Captain Xiao, your teammate is seriously injured. Your battle with the Blood Knight must have been extremely dangerous!" The leader feigned concern, his gaze sweeping towards the healer. "Healer, quickly treat our hero."

The therapist, who had just had a falling out with him, was furious upon hearing this. "Are you ordering me around?"

The leader chuckled, "How could that be? I just noticed Captain Xiao seemed quite anxious, so I couldn't help but remind you. That's all. How could I possibly order your esteemed healer around?"

"You know healers are treasures, but ability users are like weeds." The healer snorted, her tone sarcastic. "Outside ' Peaceful Village,' plenty of organizations would treat me like a VIP. I just wonder how many team members would still be willing to follow you without me as their healer."

The leader's eyes turned cold.

"Tsk."

Xiao Pei clicked her tongue in amazement; these two were actually bickering.

As soon as she released the chains, she bound the talkative therapist and pulled him towards her, then patted him on the shoulder and asked, "How about we get to work first?"

The esteemed healer. "..."

He was furious at being treated like this, but when he met the eyes of the captain of the Ability Control Bureau, who still carried the murderous aura of battle, he fell silent.

With a grim expression, he placed his hand on the steel superhuman's pierced chest and activated his power. A floral fragrance emanated from beneath his hand, and the steel superhuman's wound healed at a visible speed. At the same time, the healer's face was turning pale. The steel superhuman was seriously injured, and healing him would be a huge effort.

Seeing that the therapist's treatment schedule was in place, Xiao Pei remained outwardly calm but inwardly relaxed. Facing her seriously injured teammate, she wasn't as composed as she appeared. Only then did she have a chance to observe her acquaintance, and upon closer inspection, she finally noticed something was off. Wait, near the Waiter's feet... what was that large, patterned, black iron lump...?

Captain Xiao, holding an important position, often dealt with Polluted and was quite experienced. Ordinary matters rarely alarmed her, but at this moment, she was shocked, her eyes revealing disbelief.

That thing...

Captain Xiao's mind drifted to the Blood Knight in the Sun District, to the comical shopping bag around the Blood Knight's neck, and to her and her teammates' speculations about the Blood Knight's missing greatsword.

Where did the Blood Knight's greatsword go?

Oh, here it is.

Xiao Pei: "..."

She was in a daze.

Ye Jiang noticed that her sword was being watched. With a blank expression, she moved it behind her to hide it.

Xiao Pei: "..."

Is this reality?

Or is it just a fleeting dream?

The greatsword is in the Waiter's hands?

Was the greatsword taken away by the Waiter?

"Waiter, the sword behind you..." the captain of the Ability Control Bureau said with difficulty.

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone's attention was drawn to Ye Jiang's heavy sword, which she hadn't hidden very well. Even the Iron Man with superpowers who was being treated and the healer who was using healing abilities glanced at it.

What happened to the sword?

It's just a replica, isn't it?

Some people think this way.

However, this group did not include the Iron Man. The Iron Man was one of the witnesses to the Blood Knight losing his sword. The moment he saw the sword, he was just as shocked and bewildered as his captain.

"Ah." A syllable escaped his throat unconsciously, and the therapist thought it was because he had pressed too hard on his wound.
