The sheriffs didn’t expect Su Mo to be so petty and to make a fuss over such a trivial matter.
If he reports here and Sikinkov gives the Saint Rivelan Public Security Bureau chief a call, they won’t have good days ahead.
Su Mo smirked at the sheriffs who were sweating profusely and raised his eyebrows at them.
Seeing Su Mo silent, Sikinkov frowned and asked, "Brother, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you being wronged in Saint Rivelan? Who’s making it hard for you? Tell your elder brother!"
Finally, the sheriffs couldn’t withstand the pressure. They bowed to Chen Hao and his daughter, their voices trembling, "We sincerely apologize for earlier. We’ll reflect on our actions and ensure this doesn’t happen again."
Chen Hao is an honest man, who normally toils at the bottom and has never been apologized to by such "big figures" like sheriffs.
He didn’t dare to be pretentious at all and hurriedly waved his hand, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing, we understand each other, we understand each other... about the money... perhaps... we don’t need compensation?"
Su Mo didn’t listen to Chen Hao and waved a screen showing a paynt code at the sheriffs.
The three could only accept their fate and truthfully transferred money, each compensating Chen Hao 50,000.
After they paid, Su Mo smiled at Sikinkov, "Elder brother, I wasn’t wronged, just called for a chat. Saint Rivelan is quite fun. Here, sheriffs are all generous and love sending money for no reason. I really like it here."
Sikinkov chuckled wryly, "You knew I was working overti and called to tease , didn’t you? Do you have anything else? If not, I’m hanging up first to work on my materials."
"Carry on, I’ll invite you for a drink when I return." Su Mo waved and disconnected the video call.
He handed the phone back to Chen Hao and said, "Quickly take your daughter to the hospital for a check-up and treat her wounds well. If the dical expenses are too much, co find at the Black Rose Hotel, I’ll call those three back to continue compensating."
Chen Hao was incredibly grateful, continuously bowing to Su Mo with his daughter in tow, "Thank you... really thank you... it’s just minor injuries; the money is surely enough..."
"Polo, hurry up and thank him. Does your hand still hurt? Daddy will take you to the hospital to bandage it."
Polo’s palm had many cuts from glass, but fortunately, they weren’t deep and shouldn’t be serious.
She gratefully said to Su Mo, "Thank you, brother!"
Su Mo smiled at her, "Go to the hospital with your father now."
Chen Hao picked up Polo and quickly left the food stall.
The sheriffs, after being put through the wringer, were long without temper and whispered, "Mr. Su Mo, can we leave now?..."
"Leave? Aren’t you investigating the case?" Su Mo pointed at the young man standing dumbfounded, "This guy really touched the girl, I saw it. If you need solid evidence, you can ask the owner to check the surveillance."
Su Mo instructed, and the sheriffs promptly asked the owner to pull up the surveillance footage.
Sure enough, the footage clearly showed the young man deliberately pulling Polo’s strap when Chen Hao wasn’t present, even reaching in to touch once.
The sheriffs, grieved over losing fifty thousand, were already angry with no outlet. This incident was after all the young man’s doing, and they finally found a target to vent on.
The three surrounded him and swung batons wildly claiming it as "subduing," beating him until bruised and battered. Only then did they handcuff him and take him back to the bureau for interrogation.
After handling the matter, Su Mo finally could continue enjoying his dinner.
He passed by Shangguan Li, and whispered with a smile in her ear, "Sotis the power of the authorities is quite effective, isn’t it?"
Shangguan Li glanced at him, remained silent for a mont, then slightly nodded in acknowledgnt, and returned to her table to eat.
There was a table between Shangguan Li and Su Mo. She was allergic to seafood, so she ordered a lot of non-seafood grills, like beef skewers, pork belly, grilled tenderloin, which was quite a unique choice for a food stall.
After the commotion, custors gradually returned to the stalls, and things slowly resud their usual bustling state.
At this ti, the owner personally served Su Mo a carefully prepared lobster, with a flattering smile, "Sir, your visit is an honor for our establishnt. Thank you for helping to resolve the situation earlier, otherwise, we’d be out of business tonight. This is a small token of gratitude, enjoy."
Su Mo didn’t decline, gladly accepting the free treat, casually expressing his thanks.
Dongdong eagerly snapped off the big lobster claw, placed it in her mouth and crushed it, while peeling the flesh, she said, "Boss, the sheriffs ntioned the girl is a New Moon City rcenary. Is she famous?"
Su Mo chuckled, indeed, "Yao Guang Star" was famous.
Not only in New Moon City but also popular among the players of the ga "Dawn" outside the ga.
Aside from having attributes of National Style, Legal Lolita, Shangguan Li is particularly captivating for her way of life.
In the rcenary trade, although there is a weirdo like Chu Nanyi, who doesn’t care about money, only the fun.
Most people still co for money, getting up early only with incentives; they’d help with tasks if paid, and ignore you entirely if not.
But Shangguan Li, different from most unscrupulous individuals, though she values earning, inherently possesses a "chivalrous spirit."
She steps in the aid against injustice, an altruistic behavior uncommon in rcenaries, frequently done by Shangguan Li, akin to ancient knights.
In response to Dongdong’s inquiry, Su Mo narrated about New Moon Seven Stars, Shangguan Li herself, and the Mo Xue rcenary Corps.
Dongdong, surprised, said, "Wow, Mo Xue is bigger than us? I thought Edge is about to replace Scythe of Death, and you’ll beco the ’King of rcenaries’ in New Moon City."
