Yes, Lady Funina!

Following Richard's words and Furninna's verdict, the scene suddenly came to a stalemate.

The leader of the treasure-stealing group frowned, thinking that it seemed like there would be no peace today.

However, the goods he had were very important and were classified as gray items, meaning they were not strictly prohibited by law, but were not allowed to be sold either.

If she surrenders, there is no guarantee that Lord Water God and the man beside her will not seize the goods.

That was the situation the treasure-stealing gang leader least wanted to see. In a way, the importance of this batch of goods was second only to his life.

If I lose this batch of goods, I might as well die.

While the leader of the treasure-stealing group was hesitating, our Lady Funina was also worried.

"No way? No way? Is that guy really going to attack her? She is the Water God G! Even if it is smuggling contraband, it is obviously a lighter crime than offending the gods, right?"

"There's no death penalty in Fontaine, so why not just surrender and stay in Meropeburg for a while?"

Finina was very panicked and kept muttering to herself, but even so, she still stood in front of Richard.

It’s not that she was so brave, but if she hid behind Richard like an ordinary girl at this time, that would be a bad thing.

You are the God of Water, but you have to hide behind your own people. Are you still the God of Water?

Having her identity suspected is the thing that Funina cannot accept the most.

Therefore, even if you are extremely scared in your heart, you still have to behave like a water god in your actions!

However, Richard seemed not to notice and continued to stimulate the treasure-stealing gang from behind.

"What? Are you still planning to attack Lady Funina? Aren't you afraid of Lady Funina's divine punishment? Can you be a match for the Water God?"

Stop it, please stop it, Richard. How come she didn't realize that her secretary general was such a gossiper!

If she could bring down divine punishment, she would have done it long ago. Why would she wait until now?

Didn't you really think she was giving the treasure-stealing gang time to surrender?

She is buying herself some time!

What if Clorinde happened to come back at this time?

"Lord Water God, and this lord next to you, do you really want to be so aggressive?" The leader of the treasure-hunting group had a sullen face, and the treasure-hunting group behind him also put down the boxes in their hands and took out the weapons on their waists.

Seeing the swords, guns, sticks and clubs, Funina felt very chilled.

"Aggressive? I think you are the stubborn ones! On behalf of the Lord of Water, I hereby issue an ultimatum. If you do not give up resistance after entering three more numbers, we will take coercive measures."

"And you will be the first criminals in Fontaine to be exiled to Melo Petersburg for the crime of resisting God, setting an example for those who come after you!" Richard said in a cold voice.

The momentum seems to be there, but the question is who will subdue them? Fu Nina thought resentfully.

"How about... just run away? This group of treasure robbers looks like they are transporting something very important. If we run away, they probably won't catch up with us. Then we can notify the special patrol team and let them deal with these criminals."

"As for the embarrassment, it can be dealt with by saying that all her divine power is used to supply Fontaine with energy."

The more Funina thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was feasible, and she was already preparing to take Richard away and run away.

After hearing what Richard said, the leader of the treasure-stealing group felt a jolt in his heart, and soon realized that the brothers behind him were really getting scared. If it dragged on any longer, once the first person gave up, then soon everyone would give up.

He knew very well what kind of a mob the people under his command were.

Giving up means being arrested and the mission failing. Entering Melo Petersburg is just a small matter. What if the owner of this batch of goods blames me...

Thinking of that guy's weird methods, the leader of the treasure-stealing group felt a chill down his spine. This could really kill people!

So the leader of the treasure-stealing group made a decision immediately that they could not delay any longer!

Fight!

There is no precedent of death penalty in Fontaine. Even if it is an offense to God, it is very likely that the sentence will only be extended. Failure in the mission means death.

Needless to say, how to choose!

"Brothers, they are bluffing. If it is really the Lord Water God, he would have taken us down long ago. He would not be whining to us like he is now!" The leader of the treasure-stealing group raised his arms and rushed forward first with a machete in hand.

And when his men saw their boss leading the charge, they thought what he said made sense.

If the person on the other side was really the Lord of Water, he should have taken them down long ago, and would not have been hesitating like he is now.

Soon, the members of the treasure-stealing group began to take action and skillfully surrounded Richard and Finina.

It's like hyenas in the wild hunting prey, waiting for the moment the prey reveals a flaw and then attacking in groups.

"How dare you!" Furninna raised her eyebrows and shouted loudly.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it. Don't blame me for being heavy-handed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the treasure-hunting group were obviously affected, and their originally eager actions were put on hold, but that was all.

They still surrounded Richard and Finnina, leaving no room for them to break through.

Funina also noticed this, and her heart sank instantly.

Oh no, it seems like I can’t escape this time.

I should have decisively taken Richard and ran away just now!

Funina was very regretful at this moment, but Richard on the side seemed calm and did not take this group of treasure thieves seriously at all.

Richard really did not take the treasure-stealing group seriously. He had been observing every move of Furninna.

Although Funina's disguise was very good, when she was surrounded by the treasure thieves, he keenly noticed the panic revealed by Funina.

Although it was only for a moment and was quickly covered up by Fernina's excellent acting skills, Richard was basically certain that she was indeed panicked.

In other words, Funina really has no strength at all, she is as simple as she looks on the surface.

Combined with the guarantee that Clorinde had asked for from him before, does this mean that even Clorinde, Funina's personal bodyguard, feels that Funina has no strength at all?

The kind that can't even deal with this group of treasure thieves.

At this point, Richard no longer planned to continue probing. If he continued to probe, it would be difficult to explain if someone asked him about it later...

Finina had already begun thinking about how to surrender so as to appear decent and still retain the majesty of a god.

Raise your hands higher? Like holding up a trophy?

Or maybe take off your white gloves and wave them in the most elegant way?

No way! No matter how you think about it, it's impossible, right?!

Now that they have all surrendered, how can there be any majesty of God left?

Which god would surrender before the fight even starts?

Looking at the treasure-stealing group gradually approaching, Funina felt that she was trapped in a dead end.

At this moment, Richard said, "It is not necessary for Lady Funina to personally take action to deal with you scum."

Then, Finina only saw Richard wave his hand gently, and several large water columns rose directly from the sea not far away, like water dragons. Under Richard's control, they defeated and dispersed the members of the treasure-stealing group with unstoppable momentum.

In almost an instant, the fighting subsided.

All that was left on the beach were the painful wails of the treasure-hunting group members, but they did not seem to be in any danger of life, and the weapons in their hands were swept aside by the water column and piled up, preserved as evidence of the crime.

What awaits them will be a grand trial.

As the first case of the people of Fontaine offending God, it was used as a model to fill the gap in the law.

In a sense, this bunch of scum made an indelible contribution to Fontaine Law.

And Funina was stunned watching from the side. It turned out that... her secretary general was so powerful? !

Not only did he deal with the treasure-stealing group in an instant, but he also controlled the entire scope of the battle very well. Even the crab soup not far away was not affected and was still cooking.

Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were so fierce? She was so scared that she thought it was all over!

"Lady Fininna, let us see what these treasure-stealing gang are willing to preserve at the cost of offending you?" Richard's words attracted Fininna's attention.

Soon she and Richard arrived at the place where the treasure-stealing group piled up the boxes...

Volume 31: Chapter Man turned into water!

When they opened the box, they found that what was inside was not the gold, silver or treasures that Richard and Furninna had imagined.

Instead, there were bottles and jars filled with the same liquid, which was nearly transparent and looked like ordinary water.

However, how could something that made the treasure-stealing group spend so much effort to transport it, and not retreat even in the face of gods, be as simple as a bottle of water?

Richard took out a bottle and walked up to the leader of the treasure-stealing group. He believed that the leader of the gang must know something.

"Don't play dead. You should know what this is, right?" Richard squatted down, shook the bottle in his hand and asked gently.

However, this gentle and elegant-looking pretty boy controlled a huge water column and crushed them like a dead tree or rotten wood...

In the eyes of the treasure-stealing group leader, his gentle smile looked like the devil's smile.

There was no need to hide it anymore, so the leader of the treasure-stealing group said straightforwardly, "It was Les."

"Les?" Li felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was.

I vaguely remember Linnett mentioning it, but it was obviously not important enough for him, the permanent secretary of the city hall, to pay attention to it.

"Les? What is that?" Furniture also heard the name and was also confused.

Apparently, our Lord Water God had never heard of this kind of thing. She looked at the bottle in Richard's hand and said, "This looks like ordinary water, right?"

After hearing what Furniture said, the leader of the treasure-stealing group who was lying on the ground struggled to sit up, and replied while enduring the severe pain in his body: "Lady Furniture, this is not ordinary water, but a special drink."

"Drinks? Are you willing to fight your gods for these drinks?"

Furninna was very angry. She felt offended that she was not as important as a few boxes of drinks in the eyes of her people.

Indeed, she admitted that the way she had behaved over the past century was somewhat unreliable, but it shouldn't be such a failure, right?

At least Funina felt that she was quite popular in Fontaine. In terms of popularity, she was confident that she was no worse than the other six gods!

Comparing her to these boxes of drinks is really insulting!

Richard also felt that they dared to attack them just for a few boxes of drinks, which really did not regard the bean buns as dry food. Although Funina was indeed a little watery, it was not to this extent.

There must be other deeper reasons behind it.

Perhaps the leader of the treasure-stealing group also felt that this explanation was a bit outrageous, so he added: "This is certainly not an ordinary drink, but an addictive drink."

"It can make people excited and produce many pleasant hallucinations. The side effect is that long-term consumption of this stuff will produce many side effects, such as lack of concentration and emotional instability. Once you stop taking it, you will feel tired all day and feel anxious for no reason... We made a lot of money by relying on this feature of 'Les'."

The word "addictive" alone made Richard frown. He deeply understood how destructive addictive drinks could be to society.

Not to mention that it also has such serious side effects. Based on the narration of this member of the treasure-stealing group, Richard realized that the seriousness of this matter has exceeded the other party's attack on the god itself.

What is involved behind this is definitely more than what it seems on the surface.

"This alone cannot explain why you would attack the gods. You don't look like an idiot who can't understand the situation... You mentioned 'you guys' just now. Are there other accomplices besides you?" Richard analyzed.

"Of course, we are just pawns in his hands." The leader of the treasure-stealing group was breathing heavily, as if he had thought of something. He was a little excited, his skin became flushed, and he was in an abnormally excited state.

"He?" Richard noticed the key words and asked, "Who is he?"

"Yes... yes..." The leader of the treasure-stealing group kept gasping for breath and seemed to be too excited to speak clearly.

Seeing this, Funina comforted him, "Don't get excited. You can talk slowly."

Richard is playing the good guy and she is playing the bad guy. This scene has happened before and is very familiar.

However, this time things might be far more complicated than they thought. Just when the leader of the treasure-stealing group was hesitating and about to say a name.

Suddenly, the leader of the treasure-stealing group seemed to have thought of something. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked down at his hands, and found that his skin was in an abnormal state.

Being familiar with this state, he naturally knew what changes were happening to him. A pair of hands called 'fear' tightly grasped his heart.

"No...it's not like that. I don't intend to betray you. Don't...please...don't..."

With an almost desperate roar, the leader of the treasure-stealing group actually turned into a pool of water under the gaze of Richard and Finina!

Such a strange scene frightened Furninna, and even the knowledgeable Richard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

A healthy person turned into water without any warning!

The pile of clothes left on the beach proved that they were not hallucinating. There was indeed such a person sitting in front of them!

"Richard, what's going on?" Faced with this sudden change, Funina's first reaction was to ask Richard, wanting to hear his opinion.

"I'm sorry, Lady Finina, I can't explain what happened just now. But I think there must be someone behind this, and that person is nearby." Richard looked around, but there were too many people lying on the ground around him.

He had no way of figuring out who was behind the scenes, and he wasn't even sure what methods the other party was using.
