Chapter 22 Reward Was there anyone who wasn’t afraid of death?

A look of surprise flashed across Ye Tian’s eyes when he saw the unfamiliar woman charging over. However, he did not have much time to investigate because the enemy had yet to be dealt with.

When magic was cast, it would activate elemental power that ordinary people could not see.

Relying on this point, Ye Tian used his powerful strength to lock onto the figure in the corner of the shadows.

“Found you!”

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his fingertips moved gently. In the next second, the wall and the ground where the person dodged seemed to have been given life. Mud-shaped arms extended out and grabbed the person’s arms, neck, and ankles firmly.

The two people who had been affected by the mental attack had just regained their senses when they realized that Ye Tian had already controlled their only killing weapon.

The two of them quickly got up and planned to escape in different directions.

“Since you’re here already, stay.”

Ye Tian whispered softly as his eyes lit up. An energy that only he could see burst forth from his glabella.

The two of them had only taken a few steps when their bodies suddenly stiffened and they lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

It all happened so suddenly that no one was prepared for it.

By the time the soldiers in charge of order arrived, the surroundings were already empty. “My lord.”

The soldier first glanced at the woman beside Ye Tian with an ashamed expression.

It was their fault that Ye Tian was attacked in the city they were in charge of.

“It’s none of your business. They’re not ordinary people. Arrest these three first.”

Ye Tian pointed at the figure lying on the ground.

Then, he went straight to the shadow. The other party had yet to give up struggling, and his face was slightly red from exerting too much strength.

“Who told you to come?” Ye Tian asked coldly.

The other party glared at Ye Tian with hatred and said, “I won’t tell you even if I die. Kill me if you have the guts.

“It doesn’t matter if you have some backbone. There are plenty of people in Maple Forest City who can make you talk.”

It had been a long time since he had been provoked so Ye Tian felt refreshed in this situation. He controlled his magic and used the soil to surround the person, leaving only his head exposed.

After that, Ye Tian turned around and ignored the person’s scolding.

“And who are you?”

Returning to the noodle stall, Ye Tian looked at the woman who had rushed over to block him.

This woman had a beautiful face and was young. The fabric on her clothes was also extraordinary. It was obvious that she was a child of a wealthy family.

“She is the daughter of Annan, my lord.”

The soldier recognized the woman and took the initiative to introduce her to Ye Tian.

“You know me?”

The woman looked at the soldier in surprise.

She seemed to be surprised that she seemed to be very famous among the soldiers.

Being stared at, the soldier actually revealed a shy expression and explained.

“Miss Annie, you’re ranked as one of the top three most beautiful women in Maple Forest City. It’s hard not to know you.”

“That’s just randomly arranged by others. It can’t be taken seriously.”

At the mention of the rankings, Annie’s pretty face instantly turned red, as if she was ashamed to be mentioned.

“Annie? Thank you for rushing out just now. Not bad. You’re a brave girl.”

Ye Tian looked at her and thanked her.

Although he did not need protection at all, he could not ignore the other party’s kindness. There were not many people in the world who dared to be brave.

“Lord Ye, I was just hot-headed. You don’t have to thank me. Besides, I didn’t help much.”

Annie whispered back.

Ye Tian’s statue had been erected in Maple Forest City for a long time. At first, she only wanted to save him and did not pay attention.

Now, she realized that her actions were unnecessary.

He smiled, thinking about what to say.

At this moment, the Maple Forest City officer in charge of the city’s order came over. He came to Ye Tian nervously and checked him. After confirming that Ye Tian was not injured, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“I’m sorry, my lord, for scaring you.” The officer said guiltily.

“It’s okay.”

Waving his hand, Ye Tian pointed at the four of them. “I’ll have to trouble you to interrogate these people as soon as possible. I’m very curious about who it is or which organization is interested in me.’ “Don’t worry, sir. We’ll get the results as soon as possible.’ The officer stood up straight and agreed in a very serious tone.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Ye Tian replied politely and turned to leave.

any Although such a thing did not cause him harm, his mood was ruined. Soon, news of Ye Tian being attacked reached the Monarch’s ears.

Noxia flew into a rage and mobilized everyone to search Maple Forest City, intending to find all the remaining assassins.

In the evening, Noxia specially went to visit Ye Tian to express his concern.

Ye Tian received him and expressed that he was fine. He only asked him to find the mastermind as soon as possible and then dismissed the Monarch with the excuse that he wanted to cultivate.

On the way back.

“The mage is in a bad mood. Is there any way to please him?”

The Monarch discussed this with his confidant.

“Your Majesty, I heard that when the mage was assassinated today, Lord Annan’s daughter was also present. She was even prepared to save Lord Mage.

His trusted aide clearly had a special spy for the Monarch. He immediately told him the details. “Annie?”

A figure appeared in the Monarch’s mind. He had an impression of this woman. She was a very beautiful woman.

The mage had been in the capital for a long time, but he did not seem to have a good impression of any woman. Today, he actually took the initiative to thank Annie…

Lightning seemed to flash in the Monarch’s mind as he immediately whispered into his confidant’s ear.

After returning to the palace, his trusted aide immediately took the Monarch’s handwritten letter and left.

The next day. When Ye Tian heard the butler’s report, he tidied up and went to the front hall. Other than the guard from yesterday, he also saw Annie standing at the side with a shy and uneasy expression.

‘What’s the situation?’ Ye Tian was stunned for a moment but did not say anything. Instead, he asked the soldier.

“Lord, this is the result of our overnight interrogation. I thought that the four of them were very stubborn, but that’s not the case. They can’t hold on after only two moves.”

When the soldier spoke, his tone was filled with deep regret.

Ye Tian asked curiously, “How many methods do you have in total?”

“My lord, there are 108 types. Some of the brothers even have specialized skills.” The soldier replied. “Oh, not bad. I’ll look at the things later. You guys deal with them as you see fit.”

Putting away the paper, Ye Tian gestured for the steward to send them off. “What are you doing here?” He waited until only Ye Tian and Annie were left in the hall before asking.

“Lord, the Monarch ordered me to reward you last night, so I…” Annie’s voice became softer as she spoke.

‘Er… what do you mean, reward me?’ Ye Tian was stunned.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he realized that he did not reveal any other intentions yesterday. She stole a glance at Ye Tian. Seeing that he was silent, Annie hurriedly said, “Lord, please don’t chase me away. I don’t have anywhere else to go.”
