The Man’s Decree

Upon seeing that Ace was indeed injured, the enforcer in green turned his gaze to Jared. He swept a cold glance over the latter and said, “You fought in the neighborhood and even injured someone, so come with me now. You must be locked up for a few days!”

“I’m to be locked up just because you said so? Who do the lot think you are? I did injure that guy’s arm, but aren’t you going to ask why? Not only did those few monsters assault someone in the middle of the street but also harassed a young girl. Even if I had taken their lives, it wouldn’t have been well within reason, much less merely having broken his arm. As soon as you arrived, you wanted to arrest me. Well, we shall see if you have what it takes.”

Jared showed the hasty enforcer no respect at all.

These men are undoubtedly from the Laurent family. After all, the Laurent family is the most powerful entity on the entire Medicine God Island. On top of that, Maxence’s father is the island president. Consequently, the Laurent family’s subordinates become utterly arrogant!

“You’ve got some nerve, even daring to insult the enforcers of Medicine God Island. It seems like you are completely unaware of the rules here.”

Upon seeing Jared act so arrogantly even with those from the Laurent family, Ace promptly broke into a smirk.

Now, these enforcers won’t let him off the hook without us having to even lift a finger!

Sure enough, the few enforcers’ brows furrowed, and they promptly surrounded Jared.

On Medicine God Island, no one had ever dared speak to them in such a manner.

Facing off the few enforcers, Jared didn’t appear the slightest bit fearful.

“Is this guy an alchemist who just came? He doesn’t even know the rules.”

“Isn’t he just courting death to dare to insult even the enforcers on the island?”

“I bet he doesn’t yet know that this Medicine God Island belongs to the Laurents, and these people are from the Laurent family.”

“Get ready to watch the show. With the sudden

influx of alchemists on the island for the Alchemist Fair this time, there are bound to be some rule-breakers.”

When the crowd saw that the few enforcers were gearing up to make a move against Jared, all of them gleefully stepped aside to watch the show.

Conversely, that scared the daylights out of Misho.

He had been on Medicine God Island with Izolda for a while then, so he naturally knew the rules on the island, more so aware that the enforcers were not to be trifled with, for they were all from the Laurent family.

“He’s new to the island and unfamiliar with the rules, Mr. Enforcers. Please don’t take offense at him!”

While saying that, Misho took out all the medicinal herbs and valuable items he had on him.

He wanted to bribe them so that they wouldn’t make a move against Jared.

However, the enforcer in green merely cast a casual glance at his offerings before nonchalantly knocking him to the ground.

“You take us for beggars that you tried bribing us with some trash, geezer?” the enforcer in green snarled in great irritation.

Frowning, Jared helped Misho to his feet.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He then fixed the enforcers with a cold stare and said, “What else do you do besides bullying the weak? I’m going to teach the lot of you a lesson today so that you know that even lackeys need to know their limits.”

“D*mn it! You must be sick of living!” Livid, the enforcer in green geared up to make a move against Jared with his men.

“Stop!” Following an angry shout, a figure emerged from seemingly out of thin air.

“At your service, Mr. Maxence!”

Upon seeing the newcomer, the few enforcers immediately knelt down.

It turned out that it was Maxence, the young master of the Laurent family, who had arrived.

“Mr. Maxence!”

The Five Fighters of South Neighborhood also approached him with obsequiousness written all over their faces when they saw him.

He was the son of the island president of Medicine God Island, so probably no one on the island dared to cross him.

Maxence, however, didn’t even spare the Five Fighters of South Neighborhood or the enforcers a glance. Instead, he looked at Jared and asked, “Are you okay, Mr. Chance?”

“I’m fine!” Jared nodded.

“It was my remissness that led to my subordinates almost having offended you, Mr. Chance. I wonder what exactly happened that got you so angry, Mr. Chance?”

Maxence was incredibly courteous toward Jared.
