novelThe Most Important Person in Water City!
| ← Ch.247 | Ch.249 → |
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The ice-type Light and Dark Spatial Slash froze the uneven city walls one by one!
Activating Gale Wings, Locke held a sharp spear in his hand and destroyed all of these walls!
The city walls that had already turned into ice fell into the moat, gradually becoming a part of it.
Meanwhile, the situation in the city hall square had also turned for the better.
The Beastmasters of the Undead Legion's Chamber of Commerce were clearly no match for Miles, who had been in a battle for a long time.
His Battle Beast, Mana Amor, had already defeated many Beastmasters!
Meanwhile, the citizens who had been manipulated gradually came to their senses due to Hathaway's lack of mana.
The subordinates of Chamber of Commerce who saw this scene realized that something had happened.
They knew that either Hathaway had taken the initiative to remove the control or she had already been defeated by someone!
However, it was obvious that the latter was the most likely!
Since their boss had been defeated, the hired Beastmasters naturally had no reason to continue their battle. They left the square one after another.
"Captain! There's no problem with Locke's side! The 'underwater fortress' is also destroyed!" Through the observation of his Battle Beast, Golden Cloud Pigeon, Sean reported the news of this victory.
"Very good! I really underestimated Locke! He's definitely a genius in this field!"
Miles' expressionless face, which had been like an iron plate, now looked like he had completed the mission. He smiled faintly as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
However, it was not very good-looking...
A few minutes later, a rapidly moving target in the air was approaching the square.
It was Locke! He had a woman in his arms.
After landing, he looked at the two of them and said, "That underwater fortress isn't a big deal. It has been destroyed..."
"Is she okay?" Although Miles always acted like an iron-faced judge, he was very concerned about his subordinates.
He took a few steps forward and held Belinda, who had fainted.
The surrounding citizens who were gradually waking up also regained their senses.
They looked at Hathaway, who was leaning against the stone pillar with a haggard face, and shouted, "Isn't this Secretary Deborah?"
"It's her! Is she alright? She seems to be injured..."
"She can't be alright! Otherwise, who will lead us to a better life in the future?"
"Madam! Are you alright? Are any of you doctors? Doctors...!"
The citizens did not dwell on what had just happened to them. Instead, they focused their attention on Hathaway.
All of them had worried expressions on their faces as they surrounded her.
"What are you doing? She's a criminal that we want to capture! Leave!" Miles took out his identification document and showed it to everyone.
Now that the evidence was conclusive, the citizens were requested not to interfere with official business.
However, everyone did not fall for this trick and said one after another:
"What are you doing? A man like you want to bully a woman?"
"She's one of the most important people in Water City. We are here, you can't take her away!"
"I'm a lawyer! If you want to take her away, please go through the legal procedures. I'll defend Miss Secretary!"
"Handsome! You just protected her, now you can't let him take her away..."
A citizen looked at Locke and asked him to continue protecting Hathaway.
Miles and Sean had never expected that Hathaway would be so important in the hearts of the people in Water City.
This was troublesome!
By then, Hathaway had already woken up. As long as she cared about her image, she would pretend to be unconscious.
However, when she heard the people standing up for her, she could not help but cry.
"Miss Secretary! Don't worry, who bullied you? Let's go beat him up..."
Everyone's sincere concern made her cry even harder.
She mumbled, "It's me... I'm sorry..."
Seeing this touching scene, Locke told everyone Hathaway's identity.
After knowing that the woman was the real president, everyone was even happier!
"Great! Then I'll vote for you directly!"
"I didn't really like President Antoine, he looked too fierce..."
"No problem! My vote is also yours!"
"Great! This is the first female governor of the Federation Empire!"
"Water City has made history!"
Hathaway cried tears of joy. She looked gratefully at Locke, who was smoking a cigar and chatting with Sean. She was very grateful.
"Fair and square... Getting what you want..." She kept repeating what Locke had said to her. For a moment, she seemed to understand a lot of things.
...
The news of Hathaway's true identity spread like wildfire in Water City. Everyone was delighted.
Even the children rushed to the streets, urging their parents to vote for this big sister.
"Don't crowd! One by one!"
"Bring another box over, it can't fit!"
The two vice presidents, Sphinx and Harold, who came to support, were having a headache because of the crowded voting venue.
The unprecedented voting ceremony was continuing.
In the office in the city hall, Miles was thinking carefully about how to deal with this woman.
"Captain, my sister didn't do anything bad. Let her go..."
Belinda, who had already woken up, did not quarrel with her sister. Instead, she kept pleading on her behalf.
"Anyway, some things didn't happen. The crown prince should be correcting his hobbies..." Sean said timidly. His words were urging his captain to be merciful.
Locke was also very excited and kept looking at his phone! However, it was not because of this matter. It was because the delivery he had ordered had not arrived yet!
As there were too many citizens participating in the voting at the entrance of the city hall, the delivery staff could not squeeze in to deliver Locke's food!
Locke was famished as he had not eaten lunch yet!
Miles crossed his arms and looked coldly at Hathaway, who was sitting on a chair in silence.
"Captain..." Belinda looked at him with tears in her eyes.
A few minutes later, Miles sighed heavily, "Sigh... You guys only know how to mess around!"
After all, Miles was Sean's boss for many years. When Sean heard this, he knew that there was room to deal with this matter.
Sean took the opportunity when his captain was not paying attention and made an "okay" gesture to Belinda.
"I'll... Contact Secretary Peter..." Miles turned around and walked into the temporary office that the local officials made for him.
Miles took out his phone and communicated with his superior.
"It's okay..." Belinda held her sister's hand, trying to comfort her.
