All the higher-ups of the Pavilion of Treasures glared at Bernard.
But Bernard still had a smile on his face.
Those who didn’t know would think that he was kind and amiable.
Lucas turned around and glanced at the others. He stretched out his hands, and Bill handcuffed him.
The other higher-ups of the Pavilion of Treasures had no choice but to yield when they saw their store manager accept his fate.
Not long after, the two hundred or so survivors of the Pavilion of Treasures were all shackled and dragged to the prison.
The city guards placed a seal on the building of the Pavilion of Treasures and temporarily stood guard there with the members of the emergency team.
Lugh lay on the back of the Stormhawk and watched as the prison carriage slowly left. He was in charge of scouting.
On the way to the prison, the Vice-Captain of the emergency team, Barnard, directly jumped onto the prison carriage.
On the prisoner carriage were all the higher-ups of the Pavilion of Treasures, including the store manager, Lucas.
Barnard said, “Give me a seat.”
A Platinum-tier Beast Master of the Pavilion of Treasures wearing shackles hurriedly squeezed to the side, making room for Barnard.
Barnard didn’t stand on ceremony, sitting in the middle of a pile of prisoners.
“Captain Barnard, can you tell me what this is for? We still don’t understand the situation,” Lucas looked at Barnard and said, “Even if you want us to die, you have to let us be a clear ghost.”
“The people of the Pavilion of Treasures are very capable. They almost killed one of our Emergency Response Team members in the river valley. That emergency team member ran back and complained to Vice-Captain Barnia. I had no choice.”
Lucas asked in a low voice, “On purpose?”
“Of course it was on purpose. It wasn’t on purpose. How could our emergency team be so amazing?” Barnard said disdainfully, “Do you think that the military is unreasonable?”
The military was reasonable?
What a joke.
The military wouldn’t have directly bombarded the Pavilion of Treasures without any explanation and sent them all to prison if they were.
What did this have to do with them?
It wasn’t their order.
“According to the Federation’s wartime regulations, all organizations that intend to endanger the lives of federation soldiers will be banned or eliminated.”
According to the Federation’s wartime regulations, they were targeting wartime.
For the past 300 years, the Illumination Empire Federation had been in wartime all the time.
However, their greatest enemy was the Fierce Beasts.
The right to interpret this rule was in the hands of the military.
However, this did not scare Lucas and the others.
The Pavilion of Treasures was deeply rooted in the Illumination Empire Federation. It was not something that could be banned just like that.
However, Lucas and the others hated the member of the Pavilion of Treasures who had attacked the emergency team members.
Lucas immediately said, “Vice-Captain Barnard, we absolutely have no intention of harming the members of the emergency team. That person must have taken matters into their own hands. Please tell us who did this. Our Pavilion of Treasures will definitely give you that person’s cell phone and give you a satisfactory compensation.”
“Yes, we will definitely kill him!”
“You can do whatever you want with him.”
“Captain Barnard, tell us.”
Lucas and the higher-ups of the Pavilion of Treasures had already gnashed their teeth in hatred.
If it wasn’t for them, their Pavilion of Treasures wouldn’t have been so miserable.
Even if they did do it, they should at least deal with the aftermath cleanly, right?
But now, even the Pavilion of Treasures had been flattened and suffered countless losses.
They were also being sent to prison.
Idiots didn’t deserve to live. They should be cut into a thousand pieces.
Seeing Lucas and the high-ranking officials of the Pavilion of Treasures getting angry, Barnard said to Lucas with a faint smile, “Manager Lucas, unfortunately, the person who attacked the members of our emergency team happened to be your precious daughter, Lucy.”
Lying on the Stormhawk, Lugh thought about what had happened today and understood.
The Pavilion of Treasures had been captured by a typical pawn.
Other than avenging himself, Bania also had the intention of using this as a pretext to intimidate all the factions in the Southwest.
However, he wasn’t angry.
It felt pretty good.
Moreover, doing so would be beneficial to him and all the soldiers in the Southwest.
In the Hepeng Valley, a Star Glory Beastmaster brought Lucy, who was severely injured, and rushed to Skylight City.
In the previous battle, Lugh had completely killed Lucy, forcing her to the brink of death
As a last resort, she could only use the ice coffin to stall for time in order to protect herself.
She had succeeded, but the price she had to pay was severe injuries.
The Pavilion of Treasures had a large collection of precious healing medicines. As long as she returned to the Pavilion of Treasures, she would be able to stabilize her injuries.
Lucy lay on the Thundercloud Bird, her face as pale as snow.
She opened her eyes and looked blankly at the white clouds in the sky that occasionally retreated.
Along the way, she thought a lot.
She knew that he had to tell her father what had happened in Hepeng Valley.
Lugh was not someone to be trifled with. She heard that he was highly valued by Paul.
Lucy felt a headache just thinking about it.
However, she felt that with her connections in the Southwest Military, she should be able to resolve this matter.
“Miss, we’ll be arriving at Skylight City soon.”
“Mhm!”
Not far from the entrance of Skylight City, Lucy forced herself to get up and struggled to slide down from the Thundercloud Bird’s wings.
“Miss, do you need me to help you?”
“Thank you, but no need. I can still walk!”
Lucy staggered toward the entrance of Skylight City. The Star Glory Beast Master shook his head helplessly and followed her to the side.
If Lucy fell, he could also help her a little.
Lucy was Lucas’ most beloved daughter. If he could gain Lucy’s favor…
His meteoric rise would only take an instant.
After taking a few steps towards the gate of Skylight City, Lucy saw the soldiers on duty looking at her.
Lucy had a very high reputation in Skylight City.
In addition to her status, strength, and appearance, she was the center of attention wherever she went.
She was already used to it.
However, she sharply realized that the soldiers were looking at her in a somewhat… wrong way.
“Miss, what’s wrong? Do you need me to help you?”
“Summon the Thundercloud Bird and bring me away. The situation doesn’t seem right!”
Of course, the troops in the situation had to retreat first.
“Miss, what’s wrong?” The Star Glory Beast Master looked at the city gates and the civilians coming in and out. He didn’t sense anything amiss. “Miss, Let’s go to the Pavilion of Treasures. We’ll be able to treat them once we return to the Pavilion of Treasures.”
Lucy insisted, “Quick, take me away.”
The Star Glory Beast Master was confused. He didn’t know what his miss was thinking.
It was also at this moment that three Platinum-level flying-type pets appeared in the sky above them.
“You don’t have to leave anymore.”
At the city gates, a tall and thin officer with a hideous scar on his face slowly walked out.
When Lucy saw who it was, her thoughts of running away were extinguished.
Holt was a Major and a Star Glory Beast Master. He used to be a member of the emergency team, but now he was under the command of the city guards.
He was fully responsible for the defense and security of the northern city zone of Skylight City.
Among those responsible for guarding Skylight City, Holt was the strongest among the four Star Glory Beast Masters in the outer city zones.
This was because they were facing Hepeng Valley.
“Lucy, right? And the one beside you, put on the shackles and go to jail for now.”
Ordinary Star Glory Beast Masters didn’t deserve names.
Two ordinary soldiers ran over with shackles in their hands.
Lucy had never suffered such humiliation before. She took a deep breath and said, “Major Holt, does my father know that you’re arresting me?”
“I’m taking you to see your father!”
“What do you mean?”
Lucy guessed the meaning behind Holt’s words.
However, she couldn’t believe that her father would be arrested.
Holt turned around and slowly walked towards the city gates. He couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on Lucy.
“You can do it locally. I can’t be bothered to arrest anyone anyway.”
The two soldiers carrying energy guns nervously walked up to Lucy and the other Star Glory Beast Master.
Lucy looked at Holt’s back, but she still stretched out her hands and obediently got cuffed.
“Miss!”
The Star Glory Beast Master shouted indignantly.
“Do you dare to run?”
The Star Glory Beast Master from the Pavilion of Treasures looked at the sky and fell silent.
He didn’t have any confidence in dealing with Holt.
There was also a huge difference in strength between Star Glory Beast Masters.
“Let’s go in and take a look. Behave yourself. The military won’t kill people casually either.”
“Mhm!”
The two of them were brought to their military cards. A bunch of armed soldiers stared at them.
The car swayed as it drove towards the prison.
It didn’t take long for Lucy to see the luxurious building of the Pavilion of Treasures.
