Chapter 258 I heard you're going to arrest me?

Upon hearing this, the team leader felt a headache coming on.

Others may not have seen an S-rank guide, but the guards stationed outside the base's city gates can see her coming and going from time to time during the summer.

This is in conjunction with the announced contaminated zone No. 249.

This fiery red bird is clearly an S-class spiritual entity—the Fire Phoenix.

The fact that Yun Xiangdao is now taking the initiative to discuss compensation shows that she is inextricably linked to the disturbance at the farmers' market.

But what could he do?

He's just a squad leader, does he really think he'd dare cause trouble for two S-rank Sentinels?

The team leader didn't want to get involved at all and wished he could pretend he hadn't seen anything and immediately lead the team away.

Many of the high-ranking sentries who arrived with the escort team realized that the Fire Phoenix had been spotted and stood awkwardly in place, letting the red bird excitedly circle around in mid-air.

The little bluebird glanced sideways at the group of sentries and started its mocking mode again.

— [Pfft.]

Zhang Yong and his men were in a sorry state.

A large patch of his hair was singed, and there were several burn marks on his face. His skin was red, swollen, and emitting black smoke.

Since becoming public officials at the base, this group of people had become accustomed to swaggering around and had never suffered such a great loss before.

To be humiliated in public.

Whispers and snickers from the onlookers occasionally reached my ears.

Zhang Yong was both angry and annoyed, glaring fiercely at everyone.

He walked over with a furious expression. "Team Leader Zhou, we've been following the rules. This spirit entity disregarded the base's rules, deliberately injured people and caused trouble. The circumstances are egregious, and it must be severely punished!"

If we don't arrest him today, he's not a Zhang!

This person must be made to wish for death rather than live in the base!

The patrolman clutched his burned arm, wincing in pain, and yelled along.

"Yes! They dare to cause trouble at Dawn Base, they've got some nerve. Guards, go and arrest them right away..."

"The spirit cannot stray too far from the body; the person must be nearby."

"First, capture this spiritual entity..."

Team Leader Zhou thought to himself, "The person is indeed nearby, in the military vehicle outside. The key question is, who would dare to arrest him?"

"Alright, evacuate the crowd first, and make sure everyone keeps their personal belongings safe."

Team Leader Zhou chuckled and shouted, "Where's the administrator? Contact the logistics department immediately to come and repair the roof!"

"Is this how the guards operate?"

Zhang Yong was so angry he lost his temper. "Shouldn't we arrest them first? What if they escape..."

He finally noticed the group of people standing next to Team Leader Zhou.

Cheng Dongqing, He Guangyang, and... a girl dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, who covered herself up completely except for her eyes.

Once back to normal, Yun Zhao looked well-behaved and quiet.

The little bluebird is very clever.

It had already crawled into the hood of her down jacket, deliberately trying to mislead them so they wouldn't find out.

Captain Zhou frowned upon hearing Zhang Yong's words, gradually losing patience and not wanting to waste his breath on someone who lacked tact.

He turned to look at Yun Zhao and said kindly, "As for the compensation, let's wait for the logistics department to assess it. We'll report the losses of some civilians to you at that time."

The guards can't handle this either.

Both S-class officers belong to the Operations Department.

It needs to be reported up the chain of command to Minister Han, who will then communicate with the Operations Department.

Yun Zhao nodded, "I will compensate you, but..."

She suddenly pointed at Zhang Yong and the others, saying, "They have to compensate me for my losses first."

The words fell.

Zhang Yong and the others, who had been shouting, stared at her stiffly.

The security team has evacuated the nearby residents. The C-zone market, which was in a mess, was left with only law enforcement officers and a few people involved.

"Compensate you for your losses?"

One of the patrol members said curtly, "What have you lost?"

They could at least tell that the girl was wearing an expensive down jacket, indicating that she was of high status.

only.

No one associated her with the simply dressed people of Qingshan Town.

"The stalls you vandalized belong to me."

Yun Zhao spoke calmly: "The coal and those items, plus the later cleaning fees and compensation for emotional distress, totaling one thousand points, will be paid out now."

Is the stall hers?

How could that be!

Enraged, Zhang Yong pointed at Cheng Dongqing and said, "If you want to stand up for someone, you can't even come up with a good excuse. This stall clearly belongs to them."

And... a thousand points??

Those few dozen kilograms of coal, a few dozen bunches of worthless wild vegetables, and some handicrafts that hardly anyone buys are worth a thousand points.

Yun Zhao offered no explanation whatsoever.

She lent He Xiang her points when she rented the stall. The stall was shared by everyone in the town, and she was also a part of the town.

It's not wrong to say that the stall belongs to her.

Seeing the patrol team get thwarted, Cheng Dongqing couldn't help but feel a little smug.

His appearance further provoked those people.

And the culprit that caused the injury is still arrogantly flying around overhead.

"What compensation? I won't pay a single cent!"

Zhang Yong was completely enraged. "Don't try to make such a ridiculous demand. That piece of junk isn't worth a thousand points!"

Yun Zhao said unhurriedly, "So what? Everything's been smashed. I get to decide how many points to sell it for."

Team Leader Zhou finally understood what had happened and wished he could just pretend to faint.

Why did I have to mess with her of all people...?

The other members of the patrol had already realized something was wrong and were craning their necks to explain.

“Those worthless things are only worth a few dozen points, but you’re asking for a thousand. That’s extortion!”

"When we are performing official duties, accidents are inevitable. Do you know that extorting public officials is a crime?"

"You're in cahoots with that psychic entity above you, aren't you? You injured people and caused trouble at the base, and we haven't even asked you for compensation yet..."

Yun Zhao lost her patience; it was too cold, and she was still waiting to get the meat.

"Can you arrest them?"

Yun Zhao looked at Team Leader Zhou and pointed at the patrol team, saying, "As law enforcement officers, they abuse their power, smash things, and oppress the people... They act lawlessly because of their official positions."

She not only demands compensation, but also wants these people to be punished as they deserve.

Zhang Yong was taken aback upon hearing this, but then sneered inwardly.

The girl in front of me seemed unaware of the base's rules and regulations.

The security detail does not have the authority to arrest people from other departments, especially since they are the "victims" in this case.

Someone caused trouble at the base and injured a patrol team. Why are they arresting the culprits instead of the other people?

The guards aren't crazy.

He didn't even have time to feel smug.

Unexpectedly, the next moment...

Team Leader Zhou waved his hand and shouted, "Take them all down!"

A group of highly trained sentries rushed forward and swiftly subdued all six members of the patrol team.

Zhang Yong was completely stunned, and by the time he came to his senses, he had already been pinned to the ground.

The ground was a mess.

Broken coal, grime from the fire...

His face was pressed against the ground, and in the struggle, it turned into a huge black face.

"What are you doing?!"

"We are clearly the victims, what right do the guards have to arrest us?"

"You wait! I'm going to file a complaint!"

These idiots still don't know who they messed with.

Team Leader Zhou just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible, so he signaled to the sentries to drag the person away quickly.

The senior sentry, not wanting to get into trouble, dragged the person out of the farmers' market after receiving the order.

Outside the market.

Xie Tu had already gotten out of the car and was leaning against the side of the vehicle.

He caught a glimpse of the six men being escorted out, still shouting that they would file a complaint against the security department.

His spiritual form, the fire phoenix, excitedly flew out after him.

The fire phoenix was quite eager to identify its true form; it had been flying for a long time without landing, but now it stopped directly on Xie Tu's shoulder.

Xie Tu spoke calmly: "I heard you're going to arrest me?"
