Even though Galland is one of the top powerhouses of the clan, he has made an explanation for this matter, and Yuanbao and Tian En are his leverage to convince the clan to yield.
However, Yun You refused to agree even to such simple conditions, which undoubtedly threw his dignity to the ground and trampled on it.
How could he not be furious?
In stark contrast, when Jiang Wuji saw Yun You's choice, his eyes lit up.
"Good, good, good!"
He repeated the word "good" three tis, grinningly saying, "Not giving up on any companion, not bowing to any coercion or temptation, that's the old man's student."
"Just for your fierce spirit today, as your senior brother I can't disgrace our old man!"
"Let join you in stirring things up!"
With that, he turned around and t Galland's gaze without any courtesy.
"As I've said, the responsibility for this Floating Island's fall doesn't lie with the prisoners on the island. They are victims too."
"If you really want to know why this island fell, you should ask yourselves. Your procurent departnt knows better than anyone why the engine suddenly broke down."
"Today, you'll not take anyone away!"
As he finished speaking, he gently flicked his sowhat disorderly hair, revealing a pair of black eyes to the crowd, and an intimidating aura erged like waves, instantly suppressing the overwhelming anger from Galland.
In front of him, Tier Four Death God Galland seed like a small child, with a fury like a baby's helpless cry.
"How... how could it be!"
In an instant, cold sweat uncontrollably appeared on Galland's back.
He finally realized how powerful the person in front of him was, a strength that was completely unmatched...
Over ten years ago, Galland had heard of the title "Hero of Calamity." At that ti, the heroes were already famous, known as "the most outstanding youths of the Eastern Hemisphere."
But Galland didn't take the heroes seriously; he even believed himself capable of comparing with them, but his low profile resulted in less renown than the heroes.
Yet now, as he truly faced a hero, and the top-ranked "Hero of Chaos" among them, he felt the disparity.
"Can't win, not even a shred of victory hope..."
He understood this imdiately.
Even if he called upon another Tier Four Death God from the clan, they still wouldn't be Jiang Wuji's match.
Unless… unless he summoned other strong individuals together to use sheer numbers against Jiang Wuji, only then might there be a slim chance.
Moreover, such a powerful person ddling in the mayoral election this ti was bad news for the Collection Clan and other forces wanting to tamper with the election.
"Can't delay here anymore, must return to the clan quickly, notify the senior mbers to prepare to dispatch strong individuals."
Soon, Galland made his decision.
He no longer cared about face or dared to utter any harsh words, instead fiercely glaring at Jiang Wuji, then turned around, flying away without looking back.
But both he and Jiang Wuji knew there wouldn't be their last confrontation.
In the near future, they would have a grander stage to showcase everything they've learned.
As for now? It's not the ti yet.
Watching Galland's departing figure, Jiang Wuji shook his head and then gently beckoned to the still stunned Akun.
"You shouldn't need my reminder on how to write the report for this incident, should you?"
Akun was slightly taken aback but quickly reacted, nodding repeatedly.
"Don't worry, sir, I know what to do..."
"The fall of the Floating Island was purely accidental, unrelated to any prisoner. And initially, its fall would have caused unimaginable disaster to this area, but thanks to your tily intervention, this crisis was averted."
"In gratitude to you and to compensate the prisoners, Nest City police decided to pardon all surviving prisoners of the Floating Island and erase all their past criminal records."
He didn't forget to bow slightly, making a "please" gesture, appearing extrely courteous.
"In other words, all of you can now leave as 'free citizens'."
Hearing this answer, Jiang Wuji nodded in satisfaction.
Although sotis he didn't like the worldly ways in Nest City, and was lazy to consider them much, he had to admit that sotis, intelligent minds among worldly ways indeed saved him from unnecessary trouble.
However, Jiang Wuji seed to dislike owing favors, so after a brief thought, he took out a blue pill from his pocket, flicking it into Akun's throat.
"This will be your reward."
Akun paused, unable to speak before the pill slid down his throat and lted directly in his stomach.
Instantly, Akun felt the abundant drug power flow through his ridians, tempering his organs and bones.
In no ti, Akun's body, weakened by excessive indulgence, was restored to perfect condition, with great improvent to his physique, even granting him the qualification to attempt the Apprentice Death God assessnt.
A single pill turned an exhausted spendthrift into a candidate for Apprentice Death God...
The potency of such drugs was truly terrifying.
"This... this..."
Akun was completely stupefied, with so disbelief.
It was a qualification to beco an Apprentice Death God!
Though their family was vast enough, almost unrivaled in the police world except for being unable to deploy SWAT units, commanding dozens of thousands of officers otherwise.
Yet in their family's history, not even one Apprentice Death God had erged.
Without the protection of offspring who are Apprentice Death Gods, their family simply remained a third-rate little clan in Nest City. Regardless of how much "authority" they held, they couldn't stand out.
Akun's family had considered nurturing an Apprentice Death God, but such things were never easy. So people's talents just weren't sufficient, regardless of starting to train young, and consuming modified drugs like als, they barely t the requirents for Apprentice Death God by 25 years old.
Akun's family genes indeed were diocre, and even with substantial investnt, they hadn't produced a Death God of their own, eventually abandoning the idea.
And Akun himself was one forsaken by the family, so he ended up "exiled" to the poor Desert Prison.
But now, everything changed with the effect of the pill.
He, Akun, the family's forsaken, looked down upon by elder and peers alike, would be the first Apprentice Death God in the family!
And this was all thanks to Jiang Wuji.
Akun said no excessive words, feeling any words of thanks were inadequate.
He rely gave Jiang Wuji a deep look, then knelt and respectfully bowed, following with a bow to Yun You.
After that, he left promptly, planning to complete the task Jiang Wuji assigned, erasing all information of Yun You and the group.
He wasn't afraid of anyone causing him trouble; the Collection Clan had already yielded to Jiang Wuji, so it couldn't bother his whole family over such "small matters."
Even if they did intend to, he wouldn't be afraid. After all, the one instructing him was none other than the legendary Hero of Chaos! With a hero backing him, why should he fear the Collection Clan?
"Such a strong drug..."
Watching Akun leave swiftly, Yun You's eyes sparkled, turning to Jiang Wuji, asking softly, "Um... Senior brother..."
"How much of that drug do you have? Can you give so... not too much, just about a hundred pills will do~"
Hearing that number, Jiang Wuji couldn't help but roll his eyes at the little girl.
"A hundred pills? Kid, do you really think these are cabbages, having as much as you want?"
"Though there are quite a few drugs able to turn one into an Apprentice Death God, none are without extraordinary value, even the cheapest can't be asured by money."
Despite his words, Jiang Wuji still took out a small glass bottle and tossed it to Yun You.
"Here are five pills; take them. I can't give out more."
With that, Jiang Wuji sighed helplessly.
"Sigh, I initially planned to earn so extra from this mission, but now things haven't even started, and I'm already covering out of my own pocket."
"The old man was right; I'm really lacking in the tal elent among the five, destined to be a spendthrift by fate..."
