Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

Nakamura was completely enraged by Crystal and wanted to grab her neck.

Bright flames suddenly appeared from nowhere, forcing Nakamura back.

“What…what’s going on?!”

"It seems that Akatsuki's tools are surprisingly useful."

Crystal showed Nakamura the ring on her left ring finger as if to show off.

This ring is the space ring that Xiao got from Kyle, but it has been slightly modified.

"That bastard!"

"I really like what Claire said. Only the weak would go into a hysterical rage when faced with a problem. After all, escaping reality that way is the easiest and most in line with the attitude of a weak person."

Crystal looked at Nakamura's hysterical abuse and smiled mockingly.

"Don't think that this is the end. I..."

"Oh no, Master Xiaohao, something terrible has happened."

Vida suddenly burst into the room and shouted to Nakamura in panic.

"Can't you see I'm busy!"

Nakamura angrily released a spell at Vida, but failed just as it was about to be released.

"what happened?"

"Instead of getting angry, shouldn't you calmly listen to Ms. Vida's report?"

Looking at Nakamura's astonished expression, Crystal sneered with a wicked smile.

"What did you guy do?!"

"Magical interference is not a problem for me. I can easily dispel low-level magic like yours."

"When did you learn this technique?!"

Nakamura looked at Crystal with some fear in his eyes.

Magical forced interference is a natural enemy of the highest-level magicians in this world.

Although it has defects such as extremely high consumption of mental energy and small range of effect, it is still a thing that can terrify magicians.

"What do you think?"

"You bastard..."

Nakamura looked at Chris fiercely and didn't dare to do anything rash again.

He realized that since he relied on the system to use magic, he might not be able to deal with Crystal alone.

"Rather than dwelling on these things, I'm more curious about what's happening outside."

"Master Xiaohao, the followers of the Heavenly Tree Cult have surrounded the city hall and are demanding that you hand over Miss Crystal."

"What the hell is that bastard Barlow doing? Can't he even manage those idiots?!"

Hearing this news, Xiaohao felt very headache.

"Just now, someone said that they have taken control of the Heavenly Tree Cult."

Crystal guessed that the commotion outside was most likely related to Xiao.

"What should we do now, Master Hyoho?"

"Take this woman away and lock her up. I'll deal with those idiots who are looking for trouble."

"Yes."

Nakamura, having regained his composure a little, slammed the door and left the office, leaving only Vida and Crystal.

Chapter 68: The Riot of Crazy Cultists

"Ms. Crystal, this way please."

Vida was a little surprised that Crystal followed him so obediently.

"Ms. Crystal, you don't seem to be planning on running away."

"If there's no special reason, that guy will definitely come to pick me up immediately."

Crystal speculates that Akatsuki is just creating a commotion and may have other plans.

"You really trust Mr. Xiao."

"Even though he's a terrible person, Xiao is still pretty reliable. And the unexpected treatment is pretty good."

Crystal looked at the room Vida led her to and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"If I ever treat you badly, Mr. Xiao will definitely make me suffer worse than death."

Vida closed the door to the room and spoke after making sure there was no eavesdropping magic.

"As expected, what's your relationship with that bastard?"

Crystal looked at Vida with hostility, emotional hostility.

She had felt something was strange before. As an enemy, Vida seemed to be a little too respectful to Akatsuki.

"I have no intention of competing with Miss Crystal. Mr. Xiao and I are just partners."

Vida answered very calmly, silently enduring Crystal's tormenting gaze.

"Well...that guy is causing you trouble."

"Eh? You're a strange person too."

Looking at Crystal who suddenly apologized on Xiao's behalf, Vida smiled troubledly.

"Isn't that a bit too much? I just feel sorry for you for 'cooperating' with him."

Crystal recalled the experience of being ordered around by Xiao in Nosti and sighed helplessly.

“Is that so…”

Vida smiled awkwardly.

"Forget it, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Mr. Xiao hopes that you will stay here for the time being. I will secretly be responsible for your safety."

"What does that guy Xiao plan to do?"

"I'm very sorry, but I'm not quite sure about Mr. Xiao's specific plans."

"Oh, well... I'll be leaving you alone for the time being."

Although Christo was very unhappy about being suddenly thrown here.

But she still chose to believe Xiao, believing that he must have a reason for doing so.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Vida bowed slightly and left the room.

"Ah."

Looking at the crowd outside the city hall who were shouting wildly, Xiao smiled.

"By the way, why did you come here in person? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"If I don't explain the situation to you personally, I'm worried that you might suddenly rush into the city hall and kill Nakamura."

Vida stood beside Xiao wearing a heavy cloak and sighed slightly tiredly.

"Wouldn't that be great for you?"

"Not at all. I will never let Nakamura die so easily without letting him experience the despair that they felt before him."

Vida's sweet voice deepened, making Xiao feel a little regretful.

"A woman's desire for revenge is truly terrifying."

"I'm very sorry that things have turned out this way. It seems Barlow had said something to Nakamura, which led him to decide to forcibly kidnap Miss Crystal."

"This matter is not your responsibility. After all, you can't completely control Nakamura."

Seeing that Xiao didn't show any anger, Vida breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Xiao always looks playful, she has deeply understood Xiao's terror during this period of time.

"But Mr. Xiao, what's going on in this situation?"

“I’m sorry for acting on my own, but the Tianshu Cult and other things are also very troublesome.

Let the brave man help us get rid of this evil for the sake of our name. After all, justice is what Nakamura loves most.

Akatsuki smiled mockingly as he watched Nakamura emerge from the city hall with his guards.

"You are such a horrible person, you actually want to sacrifice so many people."

"They are fools who want to put a teenage girl on the stake without any basis, just to give themselves some peace.

Calling them sacrifices is really overestimating them."

Although Xiao still had a smile on his face, Vida felt terrified.

She fought the urge to step back in fear.

"Do you sympathize with them?"

"No."

Vader tried to remain calm in his response.

"Next, I will take the others deeper into the Pure White Labyrinth to see if we can find the Phoenix Egg you mentioned.

I'll trouble you to take care of Crystal for now."

“Well, please be careful.

Oh, by the way, I think Maren and the others will also be entering the maze in the near future to search for the whereabouts of the Phoenix Egg, so please pay attention."

"I understand. You should be careful too. If anything unexpected happens, you can ask Crystal for help."

Akatsuki handed a coin to Vida.

"Good, good."

"These bastards, are they all crazy?!"

Nakamura hid in the city hall again in a very embarrassed manner.

No matter how he explained or used his identity as a hero to suppress those believers, they were unwilling to leave the city hall.

These days, the Tianshu believers are like crazy, desperately demanding the handing over of Crystal.

For some reason, Nakamura remembered the witch hunting on Earth before he traveled through time.

Now he couldn't laugh at all.

And the people he sent out to look for Barlow's whereabouts had not yet found any news.

"How dare those bastards treat Master Xiaohao like this? Do they all want to die?"

Looking at the rotten eggs thrown at Nakamura, Maren cursed in dissatisfaction.

"Ms. Maren, please don't say such stupid things."

Vida came to Nakamura and warned him coldly.

"What do you mean?!"

"Vida, what's the whereabouts of Barro?"

Nakamura ignored Maren and asked Vida directly.

“We are very sorry that our men found a mutilated body in the sewer.

Judging from the remains, it is most likely Mr. Barlow himself. And…"
