The doors to the council chamber were wide open, allowing a clear view of the entire space. It was spacious yet empty, its decorations not as opulent as the main hall of the Pi City Lord's mansion—indeed, they hadn't seen anything lavish since entering Huadu—but a subtle yet exquisite luxury was overwhelming, especially—
Advanced equipment!
Each time someone enters, a seat automatically rises from the previously flat floor. With a total of 62 people, 62 seats are raised!
Wow, that's so smart!
That's not the strangest thing. What's most surprising is that the chair also comes with a small table!
The small table has two recesses; one holds a cup of tea, and the other holds snacks.
The tea was very fragrant; everyone knew its value, and it was better than any tea they had ever tasted.
The dim sum was delicious, no worse than that of Qingqinglou.
It's a pleasure to sit here comfortably.
Hua Ansu greeted Patimi in advance, "Brother Patimi, Qingge, wait for me for a few minutes, I'll show you around properly then."
She explained to A-Yi-Gu, "A-Yi-Gu is busy in the lab and won't be out for a while."
Patimi understood, of course; their arrival was indeed abrupt.
Li Zhouzhou, with a pastry in his mouth, glanced at Hua Ansu. This girl was incredibly beautiful and gentle; the courtesans at the brothel were nowhere near her level. Suddenly, the courtesans didn't seem so appealing anymore. Even if a courtesan ran off with a man, it didn't matter; he had someone he liked even more.
After speaking "gently" to Patimi, Hua Ansu turned cold and aloof when facing the group of about ten nobles. "Speak," she said, "what do you want from me?"
Li Zhouzhou: Is this what you call gentle? He thinks this girl is so cool!
The Zheng family, representing the nobility, said, "We would like to ask Miss Hua to kill those two people from the distant stars."
Hua Ansu said, "Killing is easy."
The nobles looked delighted.
She added, "But have you thought about the consequences?"
The nobles looked on with confusion.
She was too lazy to argue with an idiot and said bluntly, "Two nobles died in the Miaomiao Star System, so naturally they will seek revenge. When they come to the Luoluo Star System, it won't be just two people, but a warship from the Miaomiao Star System."
warship?
Although I don't know what it is, it sounds very powerful, the kind of powerful that can make them die a horrible death!
"Then...what should we do?"
"We can't just let them cause trouble, can we? They've not only gouged out people's eyes and broken their arms, but they've also kidnapped Boss Jiang..."
As he spoke, the man broke down in tears. He was an ordinary citizen, and the poor man whose eyes had been gouged out was his brother, his own flesh and blood.
His words made Hua Ansu pause, "Is that so?"
The nobles then remembered that Jiang Ziqi, the daughter of the former city lord, seemed to have a connection with Hua Ansu. After all, the former city lord had issued a notice saying that Hua Ansu had abducted his daughter. Oh dear, it had been so long that they had all forgotten about this connection.
"Yes, yes, they laid hands on Boss Jiang, they showed absolutely no respect!"
"Smack!"
The cup in Hua Ansu's hand turned to powder, and she didn't even react when the tea spilled out.
The nobles trembled, desperately asking what they had said wrong. This person's thoughts were hard to fathom!
"Ansu?"
Qingge called out to her.
Hua Ansu snapped out of her daze, feeling a pang of sadness. That girl hadn't even used what she'd given her. She knew perfectly well that Jiang Ziqi had done all this so that the people from Picheng would come to her door begging for her help today. What was the point?
Hua Ansu blinked, calming herself down. She couldn't let Ziqi's efforts go to waste.
