Chapter 1403: Chapter 1403: Meddling in Others’ Affairs

Forty seconds!

Ava Harris was wracked with intense pain, but she had already freed herself from that sense of powerlessness.

She clenched her fists tightly, lifted her head, and, gritting her teeth, looked towards Julius Reed.

He was the first man who dared to humiliate her.

Ava wanted to remember that face.

But…

She couldn’t see it.

All she could see was a veil embroidered with golden threads, and a pair of captivating eyes.

Thirty seconds!

Ava seemed to have no other choice.

She did not stand up, but turned to look at Merrill Caldwell lying on the ground, resolutely set aside her pride, and began to pick up the scattered Swimming City Currency, one by one.

“That’s too much! She’s just a girl!”

A man with hero-rescuing-beauty intentions and ill-conceived ideas appeared. Seeing Ava’s beauty, he stepped forward to intervene: “Miss, you don’t have to do this. As your brother, I…”

“Get lost!”

Thump!

When a Grandmaster is enraged, blood flows like rivers.

Ava continued to kneel on the ground, picking up the Swimming City Currency that she had scattered.

And the man who attempted to flirt with her was already dead.

Ten pieces!

However she had thrown them, that’s how she picked them up.

And then.

Slap!

Ava harshly slapped her own face!

Slap!

The second time.

The force was substantial!

Ten clear finger marks appeared on her face.

Slap!

…

When the tenth slap was delivered, Ava’s delicate face was swollen.

She held back tears, biting her teeth fiercely.

She couldn’t cry!

But the tears, mingled with a sense of injustice, still uncontrollably fell.

They hit the ground and shattered.

There was a lot of murmuring around, but after a man was killed first, no one spoke up loudly or interfered anymore.

“How about singing ‘Conquest’?” As soon as Julius Reed finished speaking, Ava suddenly raised her head, almost bursting with rage.

“Just kidding.”

Before her emotions could erupt, Julius Reed had already raised his middle finger.

Nether fire began to burn.

Whoosh!

He flicked it lightly, and the flame, like a magic trick, flew over Merrill Caldwell’s body.

As it passed, the flame suddenly grew larger!

Then, just as quickly, vanished.

Evil Qi, when encountering the nether fire, will ignite.

Merrill Caldwell was not a Martial Artist; the Evil Qi had nowhere to linger.

Just as the nether fire passed by, it burnt away the remnants of Evil Qi completely!

An unexpected scene suddenly unfolded.

Merrill Caldwell, who had previously been as pale as a sheet of paper, actually opened her eyes, somewhat confused: “What happened…?”

She sat up from the ground, supporting her forehead with her hand, her complexion already returning to a healthy glow.

It looked like she was struggling to remember.

“That’s right! Stop fighting!”

Merrill suddenly slapped her head, with an apologetic look towards Julius Reed: “I’m sorry, Ava has a fiery temper, I apologize to you!”

Having said that, she actually stood up and bowed slightly.

“Miss!”

Ava also stood up from the ground, her gaze towards Julius Reed was slightly complex.

At the very least, Merrill Caldwell was alright.

Any humiliation she suffered was worth it!

The opponent was despicable, but as a gentleman seeks revenge, it is never too late even after ten years!

The Caldwell family will certainly not let this go!

“Today, I have learned my lesson! May I ask for your esteemed name? In the future, I shall seek your counsel in person!” Ava asked with a dark expression.

“Ava!” Merrill Caldwell, although raised within high walls and deep courtyards, was not foolish at all; rather, she was very intelligent.

Even though Evil Qi had entered her body, she still retained some consciousness.

In just a few seconds, Merrill Caldwell had already recalled the events that had passed.

If the other party had truly intended to make things difficult, she might have already been a dead person.

But the masked man before her did not bother to dwell on the matter, only meted out a small punishment to Ava before saving her, which was enough to prove he bore no ill will.

“No!” Ava could not listen to these words, stubbornly looking at Julius Reed, and asking somewhat unwillingly: “You are the first man, who has made me, Ava Harris, kneel on the ground!”

The pride of a Young Grandmaster, shattered into pieces over twenty-some years.

“There have been many who knelt before me; do I need to tell each and everyone?” Julius Reed huffed lightly, about to leave, but then he noticed a group of people standing behind him.

There were quite a few onlookers, but the gazes of these few were unfriendly.

“Big Brother, it was him!”

A bald-headed figure emerged from the crowd.

The bald man was none other than the pickpocket whose arm had been broken by Ava.

“I was wondering who it was, turns out someone had called for backup.” Julius Reed did not wish to involve himself in this matter; let dogs bite Lu Dongbin, let them resolve their own conflicts.

But the people in front of him blocked his way.

“The ones who broke your little brother’s arm were those two women, it has nothing to do with me. There’s a head for every grievance and an owner for every debt, go!” Julius Reed, pointing to Ava and Merrill Caldwell, attempted to bypass these people.

However, the group in front didn’t seem to have any intention of letting him go.

“You, mind your own business.”

The leader stepped forward, removed his sunglasses, and waved at the crowd: “Scram! Ghost Market patrol officers enforcing the law, clear out!”

After speaking, he took out a badge from his chest and waved it in front of the crowd.

“Really! Let’s go.”

In the Ghost Market, patrol officers are the law.

The four big managers and Lord Ghost Seven simply have no time to manage the lower echelons, nor would they concern themselves with trivial matters.

Where there are people, there will be “rivers and lakes” (clans).

With the Ghost Market being so vast, naturally, there are many shady dealings.

Everyone is well aware and has long been accustomed to it.

As soon as the patrol officer’s badge was flashed, the onlookers dispersed quickly.

On the street, only a few merchants on both sides remained, along with Julius Reed and his group.

“So there is a backer, no wonder you act so recklessly.” Facing the so-called Ghost Market patrol officers, Julius Reed was not concerned in the slightest.

In those days, Lord Ghost Seven’s legs were still intact.

Julius Reed, the leader of the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, had once broken even Lord Ghost Seven’s legs, not to mention a mere patrol officer?

“Brother Dragon, it is him who interfered unnecessarily!” The pickpocket with the broken arm now had a bandage hung around his wrist for some time.

The pain was definitely real.

He attributed this pain to Julius Reed!

“Nosy.” The patrol officer from the Ghost Market, known as Brother Dragon, nodded in agreement, and said indifferently: “Kid, do you know the rules?”

Julius Reed did not respond.

Rules?

He truly was unaware.

Julius Reed has always been one to break the rules.

“First, cut out this youngster’s tongue, then take those two women away.” Jerrick Green took out a cigarette from his chest, and immediately someone lit it for him.

The pickpocket was one of his men.

As a Ghost Market patrol officer, the salary was not much.

Therefore, the patrol officers maintained a group of pickpockets, taking ninety percent of the spoils!

In the Ghost Market, if you lose something, you can only report it to the patrol officers; the four big managers simply do not care to manage such matters.

And most of the patrol officers’ income came precisely from this.

Power can engender wealth.

This was something everyone knew all too well.

Lord Ghost Seven was also aware of this, but he turned a blind eye.

As long as things did not get too out of hand, nobody would intervene.

Now that his men had been beaten, Jerrick Green naturally wanted to seek retribution.

“Attack!”

He gestured with his hand, and immediately four men surrounded Julius Reed.

“Hey! I am…” Merrill Caldwell was a bit anxious. She naturally knew the rules of the Ghost Market, and the trouble befell him because of her.

So, she thought of revealing her own identity.

“Miss!” Ava shook her head, signaling not to interfere unnecessarily, to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

But this time, Merrill Caldwell did not listen to her.

“I am Kun…”

She stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.

Because…

The four villains who had surrounded the masked man suddenly burst into flames out of nowhere!
