Chapter 423 Office Scandal
There was no special treatment at all, it was all Edward's wishful thinking!
Edward paid the bill reluctantly, sighing as he held the long bill.
Most of the gold coins originally received from Sir Norton were paid in one go.
Edward couldn't swallow this insult. The bath center's behavior was obviously a fraud, and he wanted to ask Li for an explanation!
When Edward found Li, Li was working in City Hall.
"Let the clerk supervise and supervise. The bath center must curb its solicitation behavior. They are cheating people so badly that merchants from other places dare not come here!"
Just as Li Gang was giving the instructions, he saw a man with a baby face rushing towards him.
The man grabbed Li's collar and lifted him up from behind the desk.
Li sat down on his desk all of a sudden. When he saw the fist waving in front of him, he recognized who the person was.
"Edward?"
Li couldn't recognize Edward's current appearance, but he could recognize the fist that had beaten him.
Then Li chuckled, pointed at Edward's face, and laughed like a shrimp.
"Edward, what's wrong with you? This face looks like a waiter in a tavern~"
Edward was already very angry, and now that he saw that Li didn't give him any face at all, he became even angrier!
"Weize Li! What's going on in your northern land? You are robbing people openly, right?"
Edward shoved the previous consumption bill in Li's face. Li took it and saw that Edward had indeed been badly cheated.
"Tsk~ I didn't expect that the deputy leader of the Knights of Judgment would fall into this trap."
As soon as Li finished speaking, a young man walked between the two of them and introduced himself solemnly.
"Ahem~ Backlit magician, the one standing before you is the Grand Master of the Knights of Judgment. Please correct the way you address Lord Edward!"
Edward pushed away Lucas who was trying to support him. He didn't need to emphasize his identity as the leader in front of others.
Li looked surprised, then offered his heartfelt congratulations.
"Edward, you got promoted! This is such a great thing. I'll treat you to a bath and massage after get off work. Enjoy it~"
"Don't ever take me into that damn money-grabbing place again!"
"Expenses reimbursed, my treat~"
Li Wu moved the bill in her hand, and Edward's expression instantly returned to normal.
"We have come from afar, you really should entertain us~"
Recalling the comfortable feeling he had in the bathhouse, Edward was already impatient.
As a result, the next moment, a strong holy light flashed before Edward's eyes, and Li flew out directly and hit the wall heavily.
All the documents and ornaments on Li's desk were swept to the ground, the scene was a mess, and Li rolled on the ground in pain.
"My belly, my face, my eyes!"
Li Zhengzhong was almost knocked unconscious by a powerful holy light attack.
Edward turned his head in confusion and looked at the saint who launched the attack for no apparent reason.
“…Saint, what are you doing?”
"Lord Edward, he is the culprit behind the massacre in the capital and has killed high-ranking officials in the temple. I am helping the goddess to eradicate this heretic!"
The saint walked in from the gate holding the holy book in her hand, like a goddess participating in a holy war.
The huge noise immediately attracted the guards of the town hall, who rushed in to check and pointed various stick-like weapons at the saint.
"Edward, this woman is crazy, why would she hit me for no reason!"
Lee wailed and cursed Edward.
When the guards saw that the person being attacked was Li, and after confirming that the saint had no intention of attacking anyone else, the guards withdrew and continued their duty.
Outside the door, many city hall employees were looking in. They were watching the situation in the house and exchanging all kinds of gossip.
"The last time Brother Li was chopped into the wall was by Freyr Lian, and the time before that was by Mother Teresa. What happened today?"
"I know! They are people from the capital. They must be the romantic debts that Li got into when he was in the capital~"
In a world with magic, office workers are still a group that loves gossip.
The people in the room reacted differently after hearing the unbridled rumors outside the door.
Li, who was often subjected to rumors, simply ignored the noise at the door and continued to roll on the ground, not caring about his own face at all.
Edward just wanted Li to get up and didn't want Li to have any disputes with the Saint.
Only when the saint heard the words "she had an affair with the man in front of her" did her anger rise rapidly.
咻咻咻～
Three more holy light cannons were fired, and a big hole was blown directly in Li's office.
"enough!"
Edward was angry. He came here to do serious business. What was the point of the Saint and Li fighting?
Just when the Saint was about to continue attacking Li, Edward grabbed the Saint's wrist.
"He is a heretic. It is my mission as a saint to punish heretics..."
"If you continue to fight him, I don't know what the result will be, but no one will pay for the bills we owe!"
The saint wanted to shake him off, but when she looked up she saw Edward's fierce eyes.
The saint made a "huff", closed the holy book, turned her head to look at the corner, and ignored Li who was rolling around.
Li Ye climbed up as if nothing had happened, without a single injury on his body.
"Edward, is she a saint? The real saint in the temple?"
Edward nodded, and Li immediately lost interest in getting entangled with the Saint.
Li clearly remembered that in the incident when Lian was forcibly kidnapped to be a saint, the saint in front of him had also acted as a perpetrator and did some excessive things to the girls.
Li and the Saint were tired of each other, and this result was absolutely the best for Edward.
The farce was over, and the maintenance workers skillfully set up the scaffolding outside. Two magicians from the Civil Engineering Department skillfully filled the holes in the wall.
Li's maid and part-time secretary Xiaoli replaced a batch of broken items in the room, and everything was restored to its original state, as if the battle had never happened.
A false smile appeared on Li's face.
“Windmill Bay welcomes guests from afar~”
Li registered himself as a diplomatic reception field officer in the sign-in book at the City Hall.
So, Li happily got off work early.
"Edward, you haven't told me how you got this baby face~"
“…I’ve always looked like this.”
Li almost fainted from laughing, and Edward just shrugged helplessly.
The Saint and Lucas following behind were like two puppies abandoned by their owner.
Normally, Edward took special care of them, but now when he saw Li, he ignored them.
The saint was even more angry. She didn't understand why Edward, the commander of the legion, would stand with the heretic Li.
We should treat you like a devil and fight you to the death!
The saint will probably never be able to understand the basis for the emotions between men.
After Li stopped smiling, he turned and looked at Edward.
"Congratulations again, Lord Edward, on assuming the position of Legion Commander. Would you like to take a shower first, or go to my dining room?"
"Go eat something! I've been craving this for a long time~"
