Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2796

In the next second, a dozen swords simultaneously struck the black energy shield. Instantly, a powerful suction force emanated from the shield, pulling the right hands of all the Shadow Group members into it.

Seeing this, Jesse shouted, "No, don't!"

Jesse transformed into a streak of white light, flying above Augheimer's head. In the next moment, he hung upside down, plunging his sword downward toward Augheimer's head. The sword was immediately absorbed by the black energy shield.

Then, Jesse's right hand was also pulled into the black energy shield. In the following moment, the black energy shield suddenly shrank, only to expand several times its original size, engulfing Jesse and the dozen other members of the Shadow Group. The group screamed as their energy rapidly drained away.

In just a few seconds, the black energy shield exploded, and the dried corpses of the Shadow Group members were flung out, landing in the snow. As the cold wind blew, they crumbled into dust and dispersed.

Divan, hiding in the shadows, was utterly shocked by what he witnessed. He quickly covered his mouth, then silently retreated, vanishing into the darkness.

Three months later, a hundred thousand cultivators had died outside the city. After hearing about this, Edmund summoned Wilbur to the City Lord's quarters to discuss how to resolve the situation.

"Every day, over ten thousand people arrive in Buck Town, yet only about two thousand receive the city's tokens. Of the remaining eight thousand, at least five thousand die in battles at the city gates. Tell me, Lord Edmund, do you think that's wrong too? Should the rules of Buck Town be changed to allow more cultivators to obtain city tokens and enter the city?"

Edmund's eyes flashed with cold light as he responded icily, "Wilbur, there's no need to go that far. This situation is different from Augheimer killing a hundred thousand cultivators. Buck Town has its rules. To enter Buck Town, one must pass the first trial. That rule is absolutely unchangeable. Those who survive outside the city gates are the ones qualified to enter Buck Town. The lives of these people must be valued, or Buck Town will struggle to produce strong individuals in the next thousand years. I hope you understand."

With a heavy sigh, he continued, "This time, I'm sending you to meet with Augheimer. Tell him that I'm willing to overlook the fact that he's killed a hundred thousand people, but it must end here. Tonight, I'll order the guards to stand down so he can use the teleportation array to travel to another city. If he misses this chance, tomorrow I'll go confront him in person. If that happens, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
