Chapter 257 Because I'm Rich
Cheng Dongqing ran over, glaring angrily at them, "There are so many coal sellers over there, why don't you go and do anything about them? I think you're deliberately targeting them!"
Cheng Dongqing had heard a little about his elder brother's work in the patrol team.
Unexpectedly, even after resigning, he still came to the shop to cause trouble for the townspeople.
Zhang Yong clearly recognized him as Cheng Dongshu's younger brother. His face turned cold, and his attitude became extremely arrogant. "Rules are rules, and enforcement is enforcement. The patrol team's job is to let everyone know that rules are not just for show."
He waved his hand, and the patrolmen behind him immediately stepped forward and began to clean up the stall, throwing the coal onto the ground and smashing it to pieces.
The scene was chaotic.
Seeing this, the stall owners next door were so frightened that they quickly put down their coal and hid it.
"Even so, what right do you have to smash things at will!" Cheng Dongqing was young and easily provoked, so he stepped forward to try to stop them.
He Guangyang was the first to regain his senses, and quickly grabbed Cheng Dongqing, shaking his head at him.
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials.
He Guangyang did not see Yun Zhao standing in the crowd.
They were unaware that the patrol team had any grudge against Cheng Dongshu, and thought it best to avoid trouble.
Coal can be crushed, collected, and processed.
Don't cause trouble...
Zhang Yong wore a cold smile, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Cheng Dongqing and the coal scattered on the ground, as if admiring his own masterpiece.
His gaze was full of provocation.
Cheng Dongqing was furious and grabbed his guitar, ready to rush forward and start a fight.
He Guangyang held him tightly.
Once you get into a physical altercation with law enforcement, the situation changes.
Besides, Cheng Dongqing was only a C-level sentry; how could he be a match for the patrol team?
The surrounding stall owners and customers cast sympathetic glances, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.
Yun Zhao stood quietly in the crowd, calmly watching the patrol team swaggering in front of the stalls.
The ground was a mess.
The handicrafts that the aunties had worked so hard to make rolled onto the ground, stained by the black coal, and then trampled beyond recognition by the patrolling sentries.
The white mist in the spiritual realm churned violently.
—I want to kill them…
—If you're so strong, why are the people around you still being bullied?
—Use mental manipulation to control them and make them all commit suicide.
She could feel a dark power stirring within her.
Whenever my emotions become intense, a surge of resentment inexplicably wells up from the depths of my heart.
This resentment surged within her like a raging tide, seemingly about to breach the dam of reason.
Yun Zhao's expression remained calm.
But the storm raged within her like a tempestuous tempest.
Those chaotic and frantic thoughts, like wild horses, rampaged through her mind, driving her to want to use violence to shut Zhang Yong up and make him pay a heavy price for his actions.
Influenced by its own consciousness, the little bluebird's body became transparent in an instant.
Those icy blue beast eyes, like the eerie light in a frozen pool, suddenly opened, radiating a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
He stared coldly at the law enforcement team, as if they were a group of dead men.
Kill them!
At that very moment.
The fire phoenix, which had been quiet nearby, suddenly moved.
Scorching flames appeared out of nowhere, and clusters of blazing fireballs shot straight toward Zhang Yong and the others at astonishing speed.
Zhang Yong was caught off guard; at such close range, he had no time to react.
One of the fireballs struck him directly in the shoulder, instantly igniting his uniform.
Zhang Yong ran out of the shed in a panic, lay down in the snow and rolled around, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
Upon seeing this, the sentries from the other patrols panicked and scattered in all directions.
The fire phoenix's attack did not stop.
A barrage of fireballs rained down on them.
The fireball struck the canopy overhead, quickly igniting its flammable materials. Flames licked at the roof, and burning debris fell in a flurry.
The surrounding stall owners and onlookers screamed and fled in panic.
In the chaos, people pushed and trampled each other, items on stalls were overturned, and various goods were scattered all over the ground, making the entire farmers' market suddenly extremely chaotic.
Yun Zhao was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
The resentment in my heart inexplicably dissipated.
Cheng Dongqing turned around and saw her standing in the chaotic crowd, being pushed and shoved, but she didn't react at all.
Startled, he rushed over to protect her, anxiously asking, "Sister Yun Zhao, are you alright?"
Yun Zhao snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "I'm fine."
Having received the original body's consciousness, the fire phoenix completed the mission according to the original body's wishes.
After it finished causing trouble, it came running over happily, flapping its wings and circling around the blue phoenix.
It seems like he's seeking praise.
Upon learning that someone was causing trouble at the base, the guards, dressed in dark blue uniforms and armed, rushed into the farmers' market and quickly surrounded the area.
The roof was mostly burned, and the sentries quickly helped put out the fire.
Fortunately, it was winter and snowing, so the fire was quickly brought under control.
Zhang Yong finally extinguished the fire on his body. His uniform was burned full of holes, and he stood in the snow with barely any clothes on, looking extremely disheveled.
He straightened up, looking disheveled. Seeing the guards arrive, he seemed to gain confidence and angrily questioned the crowd: "Who?! Who dared to ambush law enforcement officers?"
The culprit—the Fire Phoenix—was extremely conspicuous as it flew in mid-air.
They all knew that the S-class sentinel of the base had a spiritual form that was a fire phoenix.
But no one has ever seen what the Fire Phoenix looks like after it shrinks.
The tiny red bird, no bigger than a palm, had retracted all its flames into its body, looking quite different from the legendary creature.
So much so that Zhang Yong didn't recognize him at all.
I thought the flames were created by the creature's true form.
"Whose spirit dares to cause trouble on Dawn Base's territory?!" Zhang Yong roared angrily.
Yun Zhao took two steps back and said softly, "It's not mine."
To be honest, it's not hers.
The little bluebird returned to normal, perched on her shoulder, and watched the show from the sidelines, not wanting to miss out on the drama.
The team leader in charge of duty for the guard team arrived in a hurry.
Seeing the roof, which was mostly burned down, my heart sank.
For so many years, no one has dared to cause trouble at the base. The culprit must be found and severely punished!
The team leader's sharp eyes swept around and quickly spotted the cloud guide, as well as... a fire phoenix flapping its wings and circling.
He immediately deflated.
The other sentries, unaware of the truth, were still diligently investigating.
"The sentries are not allowed to leave. Whose spirit is this?!" The high-ranking sentries, with their keen senses, were confirming the presence of sentries in the crowd.
Yun Zhao said silently again, "It's really not mine."
The team leader replied with a headache, "I know, you can go back now, we'll handle this."
go back?
She hasn't taken the meat yet, and the patrol team hasn't compensated for the damages.
Compensation?
Yun Zhao asked, "Do we need to pay a fine? Where do we pay it?"
The stall burned down, most of the roof was destroyed, and many items were damaged. It seems they will have to pay compensation.
"Of course I have to pay..." The team leader answered halfway, then realized something was wrong and looked strange. "If you didn't do it, why are you paying a fine?"
Yun Zhao said seriously, "Because I'm rich."
Team leader: "..."
