Volume 2 Chapter 89
89. The Sheriff
Everyone’s gaze focused intently on Sera.
The outcome of this strike would likely determine the victor.
When Chen Tie wrapped the chain around his arm, it signaled that he was getting serious.
No member of the Cangqing Gang had the courage to take this move head-on, for it would surely turn them into a pile of mush.
Countless had perished under this very strike.
Chen Tie delivered a terrifying blow, without mercy, using his full strength.
The critical question was, how would Sera respond?
Would she use an equally powerful move, dodge, or defend…
But the next scene was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Sera stood her ground, not dodging, not even assuming a defensive stance, taking Chen Tie’s strike squarely.
*Boom!*
Sera was sent flying, smashing through a large pillar of Ascension Casino, causing half of the second floor to collapse, burying her in dust and debris.
“What?”
Disbelief was written all over Chen Tie’s face.
Because Sera had chosen to do nothing.
The battle ended… just like that?
Everyone was at a loss for words.
The first to break the silence was the young master of the Elvin family.
“Heh heh, hahaha, hahaha!!” Oba covered his forehead, laughing loudly, “I thought after all the mystique, there was some real skill, but in the end, fear prevented any action, and the leader of the Cangqing Gang killed her in one second flat, without even a chance to resist.”
The members of the Cangqing Gang were stunned for a while, but upon hearing Oba’s declaration, they too burst into laughter, celebrating Chen Tie’s victory.
“We won!! The boss won, the leader is invincible!!”
“Indeed, the boss is the strongest!”
“With just one strike, the criminal was instantly killed. Another victory for the boss!”
The cheers of the Cangqing Gang members almost lifted the ceiling.
The singer looked at Xia Yi, somewhat puzzled.
“Little sister, aren’t you afraid?”
“Afraid?” Xia Yi blinked.
“Yes, your companion has been defeated. How can you remain so calm?” the singer lady asked. “Aren’t you worried?”
“I’m actually more worried about this gang leader. He’s about to be in big trouble.”
“Haha, very good, Chen Tie! Your performance has truly satisfied me. As expected, with you taking action, there’s no enemy you can’t defeat,” Oba laughed. “Truly a legend of Corolle!”
“Boss, we’ve won! Won’t you say something?” a member of the Cangqing Gang asked.
But eerily, everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, except for—Chen Tie.
His eyes widened, sweat beaded on his forehead, his pupils trembled, his breathing became rapid, and he stared ahead, muttering under his breath, “No, no… how could this be…”
“Boss, what are you saying? Haven’t we already won?”
“…”
“Boss?”
A member of the Cangqing Gang approached Chen Tie.
But he reacted violently like a startled prey, slapping the approaching subordinate. “Get lost! It’s not over yet, you blind fool!!”
The Cangqing Gang member was slapped so hard his teeth fell out, utterly dumbfounded.
Chen Tie gritted his teeth, squeezing out the words, “Even after so many years, the gap between her and me… hasn’t changed at all.”
“This is your full strength?”
From the smoke, a voluptuous red dragon slowly walked out.
It was Sera.
“Not bad. Your performance was somewhat better than I expected.”
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, she raised her hand, dusting off her clothes, her expression relaxed and leisurely, not at all like someone who had just taken Chen Tie’s full-force strike.
If there was any difference, it might be that her stockings were torn, with several holes revealing her fair, delicate skin.
Other than that, nothing else.
“Tiezhu… oh no, Chen Tie, you are indeed a cut above the rest, able to slightly break through some of my defenses,” Sera’s lips curved into a smile.
“Wh-what kind of joke is this?!”
Oba’s forehead bulged with veins, unable to accept the reality before him. It was too absurd.
The members of the Cangqing Gang were toyed with by Sera. Even their leader Chen Tie, a well-known strongman of Corolle—his full-force strike only managed to tear her stockings?
How could anyone accept this? Using all their might, yet unable to make the opponent reveal any weakness.
What level of strength did this woman possess?
“Chen Tie, next, it’s your turn to take my move,” Sera said.
“Come on then!!”
Chen Tie braced himself, assuming a defensive stance, his arms in front of him, clearly ready to face the consequences.
“Good, you have spirit. That’s commendable.”
Sera charged, her speed incredibly fast. Before the crowd realized the duel wasn’t over, she had already leaped into the air, spinning, delivering a roundhouse kick to Chen Tie’s broad arms.
Intense flames released in an instant, exploding, engulfing Chen Tie. The heavy chains wrapped around his arms shattered, and under the force, he lost consciousness, his eyes rolling back as he flew out, crashing to the floor.
“Boss? Boss!!”
Members of the Cangqing Gang called out to their leader, but Chen Tie was defeated, unable to rise again.
Now, the victor was clear.
This battle was a complete victory for Sera. She had utterly crushed the Cangqing Gang’s morale. Everyone felt the terror of her strength, and no one dared to oppose her anymore.
“Sera is the strongest!!”
Xia Yi clapped from the sidelines, celebrating her personal maid’s victory.
“My apologies for the unsightly display, Miss,” Sera bowed to Xia Yi.
The members of the Cangqing Gang were speechless, yet they were convinced.
“Damn it!”
Oba’s face twisted with anger. He smashed his wine glass to the ground, no longer maintaining his composure.
Allowing the Cavendish family to cause such a ruckus on his territory, the Elvin family had completely lost face!
“Everyone, stop! Put down your weapons and cease resistance! Otherwise, we will treat you as criminals threatening the safety of Corolle and eliminate you directly!”
Fully armed dragon soldiers rushed into Ascension Casino. Many well-trained warriors surrounded the place tightly, holding weapons and shields, their faces fierce, ready for battle.
The soldiers consciously stood aside, making way for their superior. A dragon in a black uniform entered the casino, his gaze sweeping every corner, eyes sharp.
This was the Sheriff.
“Who is it that has violated the laws of Corolle?”
