Chapter 1 A Torrent of Metal

The alchemical bullets spewing from the gun barrels coalesced into an exaggerated metallic storm in the air. Like a hammer, this storm crashed head-on towards the three hundred gold-armored knights across the street with overwhelming force.

There was no turning back for a knight's charge. Seeing this scene, the commander of the Knights raised the heavy Red Cross shield in his hand, taking the lead.

With a resounding "clang," the three hundred knights raised their shields in unison. Golden spears instantly transformed into three hundred shimmering gold shields, protecting the entire Knightly Order.

In the blink of an eye, the storm hammer collided with the Knights.

What sound did hypervelocity bullets make when they hit their target?

It wasn't the "da-da-da" sound, but rather like muffled thunder, a continuous rumble.

The terrifying sound echoed through the district, instantly spreading throughout most of Lingdun City.

The [Absolute Defense] runes solidified on the golden armor and shields blocked the first wave of the alchemical bullet impacts. But the [Thirty-Six Barrel Storm Warhammer] continued to unleash ammunition, and hundreds of thousands of alchemical bullets struck the light shield. After only two breaths of stalemate, the golden light of the Knights was visibly suppressed.

Unlike humans who needed to breathe, machines could fire ammunition indefinitely as long as they were within their tolerance limits.

Typically, the power of a single ordinary alchemical bullet wasn't much of a threat to Tier 3 professionals or higher. And most of the high-level professionals on the market who still used firearms had mastered techniques like "Multiple Overlapping Shots." The purpose was to hit a "point" target at high frequency, causing instantaneous defense breaks, thereby injuring the enemy. The principle could be roughly understood as high-frequency impact and vibration damaging the stability of most objects, also creating elemental vacuums and energy chaos, causing structural damage to defensive runes and various energy shields.

And that was the armor-piercing principle of the [Thirty-Six Barrel Storm Warhammer].

With a rate of fire of millions per minute, even if the hit rate wasn't high, the frequency of hitting the same point within range was definitely incomparable to any gunslinger's "overlapping shots."

Suren watched coldly as several launchers beside him spewed blue fire. In the distance, the Knights' charge progressed with increasing difficulty through the storm.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

There were only two possible outcomes: either the Knights were shattered, or they rushed over and smashed Suren's firepower position!

Although he knew this super weapon was terrifying, it was, after all, the first time it was being used against the top-tier Knights of Luying.

Suren wasn't 100% confident in defeating the enemy.

But this stalemate was broken in an instant.

Suddenly, Suren's pupils contracted sharply: "Defense broken!"

The golden armor of the Knights certainly had amazing defensive power, but it didn't mean that their entire bodies had the same absolute defense as the heavy shields. There were bound to be weak points.

The advantage of the [Storm Warhammer]'s area coverage lay here. Even if it didn't know where the target's weakness was, it could rely on area coverage attacks to find the target's defensive short board in the first instance.

As long as a "point" of defensive weakness was exposed, the metal storm was enough to tear it apart!

Just then, Suren watched as the armor of one of the Knight's warhorses momentarily popped open a gap while running. This kind of flaw, which was difficult for professionals to catch, was seized by countless alchemical bullets.

"Puff~" "Puff~" "Puff~"

In just an instant, dozens of bullets drilled in through that gap, and blood was immediately seen.

After tearing open a hole, it was like a levee breaking. A monstrous flood violently squeezed out of the gap, unstoppable.

After a moment of stalemate, the scales of war tilted sharply to the other side, without any room for reversal!

The metal storm swept into the Golden Knightly Order, then violently tore it apart from the inside.

Suren narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed in relief, and thought, "It's finally not a complete waste of money."

...

Suren had created this "super weapon," but it didn't mean he had the confidence to use it.

Every second was heartbreaking.

Just now, in the ten-odd seconds these machines had been firing, he estimated the amount of ammunition consumed, and his wealth had visibly shrunk a lot.

Alchemical bullets cost nearly 10,000 Leso each on the market. Even though Suren now had his own war workshop, the cost of alchemical bullets was only about one-fourth or one-fifth of that. But he still couldn't afford the consumption of this [Thirty-Six Barrel Storm Warhammer].

This thing had a maximum rate of fire of more than one million rounds per minute, which meant that one machine theoretically consumed billions to tens of billions of Leso.

Even ordinary bullets that cost ten Leso each were in the millions.

Suren felt like he was a nouveau riche without a continuous income, unable to afford such extravagance.

If it really cost billions per minute, no one could afford it.

It was purely throwing money in people's faces, a money-burning play style.

With that money, it would be better to get some other high-powered weapons or cursed objects.

In short, it was very uneconomical.

Overall, Suren felt this thing was... quite impractical.

It was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, only suitable for a few specific conditions.

Like right now.

Suren had no other way to deal with the Golden Knightly Order's charge.

If he wasn't reluctant to consume [Plane Crystals], he really wouldn't have been willing to use this thing.

The moment this money-losing item started firing, losing money was a certainty.

He prayed that he could make up for some of the losses by harvesting the corpses later.

...

Suren naturally knew the advantages and disadvantages of what he had created.

But others hadn't yet understood the impracticality of this [Storm Warhammer].

All the onlookers saw was Suren hooking his finger, and then a few machines spewing flames.

And then, after a few short breaths...

The Luying top-tier Knightly Order, the "Golden Holy Shield Heavy Armor Knight Legion," had been broken through?!

This large-scale Knightly Order charge, which even top-tier professionals didn't dare to confront head-on, was actually stopped by a few machines?

Not only was the defense broken, but in an instant, it had become a one-sided killing field. The metal storm swept through the Knightly Order, with limbs and broken arms flying everywhere, and a rain of blood falling from the sky in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the onlookers in various places had different expressions, but all were shocked.

Delin Street,

Police Chief "Lone Dragon" Megan Charlize: "Damn it! When did such terrifying weapons get smuggled into Lingdun? Our police didn't even get any news! Investigate quickly, which channel did this thing get smuggled in through? Immediately detain relevant personnel, sources of goods, blueprints, and everything else!"

Fish Market Street,

Donald Morton, Executive Captain of Military Intelligence: "Immediately arrange for someone to find an intermediary to see if we can get the blueprints for this weapon!"

Tailor Street,

Yekaterina's old man, Bartolo, had a fiery gaze: "Oh, this kid really has a lot of good things in his hands. Daughter, why don't you go ask him if he can sell the blueprints? Oh, I almost forgot, he's your fiancé. Tsk tsk... not bad, not bad."

XX Reporter: "Super big news! This 'Death God' breaks through three hundred heavy-armored knights with one move. Good heavens, what is the origin of this weapon? This is even more brutal than when he killed tens of thousands of pirates..."

All the onlookers were greatly astonished!

All were shocked!

Looking at this super weapon that they had never seen before, everyone's hearts were stirred by a monstrous wave.

They had a strong sense of crisis that traditional alchemists were being abandoned by modern Mechanical Alchemy.

At the same time, in a certain building, a mysterious person wearing a golden mask watched this scene unfolding on Parrot Street, pondered for a long time, and then let out a long sigh of a hero's twilight.

On the other side, in the Imperial Military Department.

General Nikolai Rostov, who wore four golden stars on his shoulders, was drinking coffee.

Although he wasn't at the scene, he was watching the great battle on Parrot Street through a special crystal ball cursed object.

At the moment the [Storm Warhammer] fired, the coffee cup in the hands of this top-tier figure of Luying's military power froze near his mouth. His eyes trembled, and he muttered to himself, "I originally wanted to see what the kid Barrett told me about, what the person who could bring change to the world looked like. Now it seems, the times have really changed... Luying, stuck in its old ways, really can't keep up with this era."

...

A scarlet rain of flesh and blood tissue fell from the sky.

Suren held up a black umbrella, listening to the sound of the rain pattering down.

He looked up and saw that the umbrella was also soaked in blood.

What a pity, the brave and fearless classical knights crashed into the cold spearhead of the mechanical age.

When blades meet, one must break.

Three hundred heavy-armored knights came fearlessly and left drenched in blood.

On both sides of the metal storm, more than a hundred remaining riders scattered and fled.

A strong wind swept over, Suren put away the several [Storm Warhammers], and walked towards the street that had been stained red, without looking back.

Heavy-armored knights who didn't charge in groups were no longer much of a threat to him.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the Tier 6 legion commander led the remaining knights back and began a tragic small-scale charge again.

The knights had received orders to intercept him, so they would not retreat even if they fought to the last man.

Although Luying was decaying, the spirit of the knights was worthy of respect.

If they wanted to leave, Suren didn't plan to kill them all.

But if they wanted to come, Suren wouldn't be soft.

He now had the Black Scythe and the Dragon Slayer Coin, two armor-piercing weapons. These small groups of golden knights were often cut in half with one strike. Heads and horses shattered around him, his eyes filled with blood.

How many charged, how many died.

[You have stripped the soul of 'Roya Hughes']

[You have stripped the soul of 'Lunn Samuel']

[You have stripped the soul of 'Cleveland Perez']

[...]

The Grim Reaper's phantom shrouded behind Suren, walking along the way with a cold expression.

...

Suren walked along the way, reaping the souls of the knights.

Just these one or two hundred riders yielded more alchemical knowledge than the tens of thousands of pirates in the North Sea had.

And he then realized that the Rodriguez family had been completely infiltrated by the "Giant Hermit Society."

Suren wasn't in a hurry to carefully digest those memories. He shook off the remaining knights and appeared at the other end of the street after several short-range teleports.

The "Prism Barrier" covered several blocks. He had to go further to escape the encirclement.

The sound of horses' hooves was still chasing closely behind him. He didn't waste much time, teleported and walked quickly, and soon walked across half the street. This was Manglin Street.

Because of the intense movement on Parrot Street, there was no one in the sky above this Manglin Street district. The shop owners on both sides of the street were busy closing their doors, and occasionally some brave ones would secretly peek at the black-umbrella man walking on the street.

Suren didn't think he was safe just because he had broken through the Golden Knightly Order's siege.

Even if all parties were watching the show, the Rodriguez family was one of the top nobles among Luying's six major council seats. Having him and the ancestor killed, their methods would naturally not be limited to this.

Sure enough.

Just then, Suren heard the black crow on his shoulder suddenly caw.

He immediately knew that an expert was coming.

"Tier 7? Who's coming..."

Suren had a rough guess in his mind.

...

Although there were a few Tier 8 professionals in Lingdun, they were all figures who wielded great power, and probably didn't have the leisure to participate in this level of encirclement.

Moreover, since that "Shadow Duke" had admitted to helping, he would certainly not allow this kind of certain-death situation to occur.

Suren wasn't worried.

And the Tier 7s from Military Intelligence and the police hadn't shown their faces yet, and probably wouldn't.

So who would come?

As he was guessing, Suren's pupils suddenly contracted.

A deadly crisis of being locked on made his scalp tingle instantly!

Looking intently, a figure walked out of the hazy fog.

It was a middle-aged woman in a neat suit and short skirt, carrying a black briefcase in her hand.

As soon as this person appeared in sight, he heard her muttering, "Oh dear, I'm defending an important verdict, and I'm actually being entrusted to deal with such a thing. What a nuisance. But it's not too late, I finally made it."

This woman's makeup was very delicate, and although she was older, she still had charm. Looking at that expensive work outfit, one knew that she was from Lingdun's elite class. But her eyeliner was drawn very long, and her chin was sharp, giving her face a very mean and aggressive feeling.

Tier 7 professionals were all big figures with faces,

Suren recognized who this woman was at a glance.

One of the Ten Legendary Bounty Hunters, "Rebuke Lawyer" Emo E. Claire, a mystic-type professional with very strong strength.

Rumor had it that she had killed more than one hand's worth of wanted criminals with bounties of over one billion, and never left any survivors.

She acted decisively, had ruthless methods, and a malicious mind.

This guy was not only a top-tier professional with mysterious means, but also one of Luying's most famous lawyers.

Legend had it that as long as you could afford it, this great lawyer could help you win any lawsuit and solve any trouble. Whether you had really broken the law or not.

Therefore, she usually represented the interests of the top nobles.

...

"It's actually her. This is quite a problem..."

Seeing that this woman had appeared, Suren immediately had the idea of retreating.

This wasn't like the puppeteer Aubry Grandmaster he had encountered before. This kind of Tier 7 was extremely threatening.

Moreover, she wasn't an ordinary Tier 7, but one of the Ten Legendary Hunters.

None of those who could be rated as "Ten" were simple.

And Suren had heard of this woman's extremely wicked mystic-type abilities... He really couldn't beat her!

Although Suren knew that his aura was being locked on, at the moment he saw the person, a layer of spatial fluctuations surrounded his body: Slip away!

He could now use short-range [Teleportation] spells as smoothly as breathing.

But he didn't expect that at the moment he lifted his foot, the female lawyer on the other side seemed to have anticipated it. She decisively opened her briefcase, took out an old law code, flipped it open, and recited a spell on it very seriously, "My Code of Rebuke Law, Article 11: I decree that teleportation is prohibited here."

As soon as the words were spoken, an invisible fluctuation instantly covered the entire street.

Although it was invisible to the eye, it was obvious that a mystic power shrouded a large area nearby.

Even though they were still a hundred meters apart, Suren felt that this ancient spell-like incantation echoed in his ears, and his expression became dazed.

At the same time, he thought to himself that it was terrible, and knew that it was bad.

In an instant, he discovered that his [Teleportation] spell had actually failed!

Suren wasn't too surprised. He looked at the woman in the suit in the distance, and said helplessly in his heart, "Can't leave."

Hearing was one thing, but personally facing this legendary bounty hunter, the feeling of death pressing down was not fake.

However, Suren didn't intend to surrender without a fight.

Faced with this aura that made one's breathing stagnate, a war intent that he was eager to try overflowed from his eyes, "Then let's try?"

Escaping was possible, but he wanted to exchange a few moves even more.

Although the person who came was strong, it hadn't reached the point where he couldn't even muster the will to resist.

At the moment Suren was banned from moving, his whole body was surrounded by domineering aura, his skin glowed faintly, the Grim Reaper's phantom rose up behind him, and the black crow instantly dematerialized into a cloak draped over him.

In the distance, the woman in the suit was walking over step by step.

Having restricted Suren's teleportation ability, she wasn't in a hurry. She walked and muttered, "My Code of Rebuke Law, Article 8: I judge you guilty, and deprive you of elemental control."

Just as these words fell, as if words had power, Suren immediately felt that he could no longer sense the elemental fluctuations around him.

He had also seen the means of the legendary "Judgment Lawyer."

This woman relied on her tongue to fight in court, and she also relied on her mouth in battle. She could kill people by just muttering.

Suren didn't panic, because he had the [Isaac Alchemical Heart], so it wasn't a big problem to be deprived of elemental control.

He watched as this woman made two moves, and didn't sit idle. He raised his hand and slashed with the Black Scythe.

...

Silently, a spatial rift appeared.

"Hmph."

But this woman didn't dodge or evade. Instead, a contemptuous smile appeared on her mean face. She started mouthing off again, "My Code of Law, Article 2: I am invincible here."

As she spoke, before the words were finished, the Black Scythe's spatial rift also appeared on her neck.

But this usually effective slash was like a breeze passing by, and didn't cause the woman the slightest harm.

Suren complained in his heart, "These methods are really amazing. If other professionals encounter this, with elemental stripping in one hand and invincibility in the other, how can they even play..."

But he also understood some things.

The means of mystic-type professionals were wicked, but they were still within the "principle of equivalent exchange."

This woman's various judgment spells all originated from her domain ability: Judgment Domain.

Its essence was still a kind of "absolute control" ability over real objects that didn't exceed her understanding of the law.

Suren's left eye flashed, and it was clear that this entire street was within this woman's domain coverage.

In other words, in this domain, whatever she declared, the laws had to follow.

That was why Tier 7 was a "major bottleneck" in one's career.

For professionals who hadn't comprehended the domain, the domain suppression would be very obvious when facing a Tier 7.

Of course, it had to be something she could understand.

Things beyond understanding were also powerless.

For example, this woman couldn't understand Suren's Death Law ability.

If she could really understand it, she would have deprived it long ago.

...

Suren wasn't scared.

Since he wanted to test how big the gap really was, after one slash, he rushed towards the woman!

The flesh of mystic-type professionals were mostly short boards, and this was the only breakthrough he could think of to hurt the enemy.

How fast was Suren's speed?

This distance of a hundred meters could be reached in just two breaths, even without teleportation, using only the speed of his flesh.

Seeing that the Black Scythe was about to slash on his face, the woman didn't panic at all, and continued to recite the words on the law code, "My Code of Rebuke Law, Article 5: Time stands still. The wicked person, pierced by a thousand arrows!"

Suren hadn't figured out what happened, and his thoughts were still normal.

But the surrounding time seemed to have stopped. He watched helplessly as his body froze where it was. Not only him, but the rainwater in the surrounding air and the ripples in the puddles were completely frozen.

The only thing that could move was the woman's mouth in front of her.

In the next instant, Suren saw that all directions suddenly appeared with arrows of judgment light, "嗖," "嗖," "嗖"... shooting towards him as densely as raindrops.

His body was still in a time-stopped state. In a "frozen state," there was no possibility of moving or dodging, so he could only watch helplessly as various light arrows shot over.

If it were any other Tier 5 or 6 professional, they would have been beaten into a daze by this woman's combo.

With space restriction, time stop, and an invincible buff, it was unsolvable.

Fortunately, Suren had the Two-Way Crow Cape. Countless light arrows shot over and were all deconstructed and absorbed into the Two-Way Cloak.

The woman frowned as she watched. Obviously, she also realized the power of the dematerialization, and didn't dare to let Suren approach, nor did she dare to touch it.

Most importantly, she "couldn't understand" the Black Crow's dematerialization ability, so she didn't dare to try it easily.

The "Time Stop Spell" also seemed to have limitations. Suren felt that after being frozen for a moment, he immediately regained his actions.

He didn't care about anything else, and slashed at the woman with his scythe.

Unsurprisingly, this woman was "invincible" again.

With a "clang" sound, the scythe seemed to have hit metal, and couldn't advance an inch.

Suren wasn't surprised either. He had long measured that the Black Scythe's normal attack was about Tier 6 on the law level, so it wasn't surprising that it couldn't hurt this "Ten Legendary."

If he wanted higher output, he would trigger a curse backlash, just like when he had used the Black Scythe before.

Killing one thousand enemies and hurting himself eight hundred.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, there was no need to gamble his life like this now.

However, even if he couldn't cut through, he didn't sit idle, and continued to swing the Black Scythe to attack, looking for flaws.

Just after this one encounter, as the external intelligence had said, Suren confirmed that this "Rebuke Lawyer" Emo's close combat ability was relatively poor.

It wasn't that she couldn't fight at all, but her close combat level was far from reaching Tier 7.

Moreover, this woman relied on her "invincible buff" to block a few of the Black Scythe's slashes, and didn't pose much of a threat anymore.

Then, this woman used a big move again. She recited to the law code, "My Code of Rebuke Law, Article 8: The guilty person shall suffer mountain torture!"

...

Although this woman shouted out her moves, Suren was still confused, because his intelligence didn't have this move.

He also understood why this woman had left no survivors among the criminals with billion-dollar bounties she had encountered.

Because most of those bounty hunters were Tier 7 professionals. It was absolutely impossible for them to stop, and the more means were exposed, the better it was to kill them.

After all, her "Word Spirit Curse" required a preliminary action of chanting spells. The more she exposed, the more the threat she posed to future enemies would be greatly reduced.

But the Black Crow didn't crow, which meant that the problem wasn't too big.

As he watched her use a big move, Suren's eyes contracted sharply, and he slashed horizontally with the Black Scythe.

If you looked closely, you could see a crimson long dagger wrapped in silk thread hidden very cunningly under the Black Scythe.

Big moves couldn't be released casually. He had carefully observed the woman's few releases, and there was obviously a moment of concentration.

Just like the moment of recoil when firing a gun, this was the only opportunity.

Although this "stiff state" was negligible for Tier 7 professionals, Suren still seized it keenly!

The woman also seemed to sense the crisis, and glanced at the red dagger out of the corner of her eye.

Whether it was because her body was stiff from concentrating on the spell and she didn't have time to dodge, or because she felt reassured because she had an "invincible buff," her dodging movements weren't obvious.

Almost in an instant, as soon as the spell was completed, Suren felt like his body was being smashed down by an invisible giant mountain. It was also like being poked in the heart by a bull's horn, and he spat out a mouthful of old blood!

The Two-Way Cloak could deconstruct physical objects, and even elemental spells.

But it couldn't do anything about this pure, formless force field.

But at the same time, the blade of the crimson dagger in his hand touched the woman's abdomen. The invincible state that even the Black Scythe couldn't cut just now was now cut out with a bloody cut like soft mud.

Seeing that the bloody cut was getting longer and longer, the woman's expression changed drastically. She didn't bother to continue to cast spells to suppress Suren, and retreated quickly. Her eyes were greatly shocked. Obviously, she didn't understand why this dagger had cut through her body without any resistance, and her domain hadn't defended at all?

At the same time, Suren also broke free from the strange force field that felt like being crushed by a huge mountain, and retreated dozens of meters.

As soon as that force was released, with a "poof," another mouthful of old blood was spat out, but a bright smile appeared on his mouth.

Being able to hurt this "Ten Legendary" was something only he could do among all the Tier 5 or even 6 professionals in Luying.

Having fought to this point, Suren had tested out some of this woman's methods.

He immediately realized that the [Plane Crystal Core] couldn't be saved, and he had already had the idea of retreating.

...

The [Ziglurd's Dragon Slayer Dagger] had the effect of continuous bleeding. This cut on the woman's abdomen had stained her white shirt red with blood.

The wound wasn't shallow, and you could even see the intestines in her abdomen.

This Emo lawyer, who had always had the arrogance of the elite class on her face, showed anger for the first time.

She flipped through a page of the law code again, and muttered, "My Code of Rebuke Law, Article 9: I am a messenger of justice, and I am not troubled by evil pain."

As soon as this spell was cast, a healing green light appeared on the wound on her abdomen.

Unfortunately, because of the dagger's bleeding effect, the injury recovered very slowly.

Suren smirked as he watched.

The best treatment for this kind of laceration was physical sutures. But not everyone was like him, able to suture wounds with silk thread at any time.

This woman's magic healing methods weren't very effective.

Moreover, Suren understood some things even more.

Her invincibility was conditional.

All attacks that didn't exceed her domain's law level were invincible.

But if it was exceeded, she could be hurt.

In other words, the law level of this [Dragon Slayer Dagger] was higher than her domain's law level!

What's more, with this dagger, he wouldn't be scraping against other Tier 7 professionals in the future, but would have a deadly attack method.

"Tsk tsk... I really found a treasure. I wonder if it can break through the [Barrier Domain] of the Aubry Grandmaster I encountered before. If it can, it will be interesting next time I encounter him."

Suren muttered in his heart.

At this time, he saw the raging anger in the eyes of the woman on the other side, and knew that she was about to release a big move again.

This time, even the Black Crow issued a warning.

That woman was obviously preparing to get serious, and had already flipped out the law code, and muttered, "My Code of Rebuke Law, Article 1: What I say is justice..."

Suren didn't intend to test what other killer moves this "Ten Legendary" had with his flesh, and was ready at any time to crush a large [Plane Crystal] to teleport away.

But just then, an unexpected scene happened!

Before this woman could finish chanting the spell, suddenly, a vulgar "Bah!" directly interrupted her spellcasting!

Yes,

Interrupted!

Not only was Suren surprised, but an unbelievable look also appeared on the woman's face.

Someone could actually interrupt her spellcasting?

Then, a blatant mockery came from the corner of the street, "Someone like you can represent justice? Hehe, what an arrogant claim!"

She suddenly turned her head, looking at the corner of the street with anger and caution.

Hearing this voice, Suren inexplicably felt that it was very familiar.

Remembering who it was, his face turned strange.

At this critical moment, that cowardly guy dared to show up?

However, even if he couldn't believe it in his heart, the fact was that the dark-skinned old man who walked out of the fog at the corner of the street, wasn't he the Old Cowboy?

Although Suren knew this guy was very strong.

But... are you sure you have the ability to confront a "Ten Legendary" head-on?

Based on his various experiences, Suren didn't think the Old Cowboy had this strength.

But since the woman's spellcasting had been interrupted, and he wasn't in mortal danger for the time being, he didn't rush to escape.

Seeing this old man stand up, he was naturally coming to "save" him.

Suren was also conflicted in his heart.

He could escape by himself, but now there was someone who came to "save" him.

If he didn't escape, there was a high probability that the other party would end up with a "double kill."

If he escaped, it would seem unrighteous.

Someone came to save you, how could you have the nerve to run away?

Suren was really ten thousand times surprised. He didn't expect that this Old Cowboy would stand up at this juncture.

Before he could speak, the Old Cowboy said, "Leave this to me. You go first."

Suren's eyelids twitched violently as he listened, and he asked, "Can you beat her?"

The Old Cowboy didn't respond directly, but frowned with a complicated expression, and then sighed, "Ai..."

"..."

Although the situation was urgent, Suren couldn't help but roll his eyes: Old man, what do you mean by this?

If he wanted to give it a shot, Suren was still planning to try with the old man.

If they couldn't beat her, they would escape.

But this sigh... What does it mean?

Could he fight, or couldn't he?

However, before Suren could ask clearly, another unexpected scene occurred.

The woman on the other side seemed to recognize the Old Cowboy, and retorted sarcastically, "Oh, Your Honor, the Chief Justice, I didn't expect you to still be alive..."

This time, Suren was completely speechless.

Although he knew the old man might have some background, this sentence "Chief Justice" still exceeded his expectations.

There were many judges in the Luying Empire, but there were only a few who could be called "Chief Justice."

If it wasn't some nickname, this old man seemed to have had a very high status before?

But this wretched and cowardly guy, could he be associated with the sacred profession of judge?

Suren always felt a bit abrupt.

But after another thought,

A "Lawyer," a "Chief Justice"...

These two seemed to really know each other?
