After the personnel from the Security Departnt arrived, everyone subconsciously waited a little longer, wanting to see if anyone else would show up to join the excitent.
Fortunately, no one else made an appearance.
Seeing that no one else was coming, the leaders of the five major forces present exchanged glances with each other.
The leader of the Gambling City side was clearly the Seventh-Tier Superhuman wearing gloves.
He ca from the Casino Board of Trustees, and behind the Casino Board of Trustees, there were intricate connections with many councilors of the Jadeite Council.
The leaders of the three major families were naturally those three superhumans with unsightly expressions.
Behind the three major families stood the pioneering nobles from the end of the old era.
The leader of the Law Enforcent Departnt was the Chief of the Public Order Processing Section, who had been wiping cold sweat from his forehead ever since he arrived.
The leader of the Security Departnt was unmistakably that excessively flamboyant guy who was addressed as "Sir."
As for the leader of the Energy Departnt, it surprisingly turned out to be the "severely injured" Davis Feller, which was beyond Loren's expectations.
He clearly occupied the primary position for the Energy Departnt.
After a strange exchange of glances, the leaders of the five major forces present decided to clear the area first and then discuss matters.
Then, except for Davis Feller, the other leaders all looked towards the three remaining superhumans in the area.
These n collectively sized up the only three superhumans left on the scene.
Loren, standing alone and occupying his own side.
And the other two gambling masters who had subconsciously banded together.
Both of these two were Fifth-Tier Psychics, and one of them had sustained so injuries due to the earlier battle.
At this mont, the five major forces also stood in position with remarkable coordination, each taking a direction.
It was clear that everyone on the scene was divided into seven factions.
The two gambling masters who had banded together clearly belonged to the innocent party faction, their eyes still carrying traces of confusion and nervousness.
Although Loren could also be categorized as part of the innocent party faction, his frenzied performance during the lee made everyone who had experienced that chaotic battle feel he wasn't exactly innocent.
Thus, he was tacitly assigned his own separate faction.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Seeing that no one was speaking, the Law Enforcent Departnt Chief, who had been constantly wiping sweat, was forced to ask the three n standing in the ruins.
There was no other way. Among the five major forces, the Law Enforcent Departnt had the lowest status, so he had to speak first.
The two gambling masters who had banded together were montarily stunned upon hearing this.
There's such a good deal?? Just letting us go like that?!
Then, snapping back to reality, the two gambling masters imdiately nodded frantically.
"We'll leave right away! We are law-abiding citizens of the Federation and were innocently caught up in this."
After offering this explanation, the two gambling masters supported each other and happily departed.
No one present paid any attention to their departure;
they were just insignificant minor characters.
Two Fifth-Tier Superhumans, in the eyes of these major powers, were minor characters as insignificant as ants...
After these two obediently left.
Everyone's gaze once again uniformly shifted to Loren, who showed no intention of leaving.
"This guy? Still not leaving? Can't he tell we're clearing the area? Or is there..." This was the question in everyone's minds.
Loren, who had originally planned to leave after testing his new ability, instead beca interested upon seeing this lineup.
Completely ignoring the voice in his mind frantically urging him to leave.
He smiled and extended his hand, turning his palm upward.
With a flick of his ntal energy, several chips appeared in Loren's palm.
"May I ask, with the Gambling City gone, where should I go to exchange these chips?"
At this mont, aside from a polite smile, nothing else could be discerned from Loren's face.
Upon seeing this familiar expression, Davis' heart tightened silently, and he took a step back with his Energy Departnt personnel.
The God's Favored One of the Nature Sect really is a complete madman through and through...
The other four major forces, witnessing the Energy Departnt's bizarre reaction, also remained silent, secretly speculating about Loren's origins.
This reaction from the Energy Departnt... is the other party from the Nature Sect???
Clearly, almost no one in the entire Federation was unaware of the feud between the Energy Departnt and the Nature Sect.
The Chief of the Law Enforcent Departnt coughed dryly, his gaze subtly shifting towards the Seventh-Tier Superhuman from the Casino Board of Trustees.
The aning in his eyes was obvious: Your problem.
Everyone present followed the Law Enforcent Chief's gaze and looked at the gloved young man.
The gloved young man's face darkened, and he reluctantly spoke up to ask Loren:
"How many chips do you want to exchange?"
It's not easy to welsh on a debt with the Nature Sect;
they are a bunch of stubborn, unreasonable, and not-too-bright folks...
Not only are they powerful, but they are also incredibly persistent.
Getting involved with them is as disgusting as stepping in shit.
Most importantly, these guys are now protected by Federation law...
This Seventh-Tier Superhuman, who hailed from the Casino Board of Trustees, had a remarkably good attitude.
Clearly, he was also aware of the history of grievances between the Nature Sect and the Energy Departnt.
He similarly didn't want to bring a Legendary Grand Druid down on the Casino Board of Trustees, even if the chance was small, it wasn't zero.
Therefore, he decided to front the Spirit Stones for now and seek reimbursent later.
"There are 28,000 points worth of chips here, to be exchanged for 28,000 Spirit Stones. Paynt in Federation coins is not accepted," Loren replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, the gloved young man's face darkened further;
he didn't have enough Spirit Stones on him.
What decent person carries that many Spirit Stones while carrying out an organizational task...
He had thought it would only be a few thousand Spirit Stones...
Who knew all the chips in Loren's palm were high-denomination ones...
And the Spirit Stones originally stored in the Labey Street Casino City itself had been quietly transferred at the start of the battle.
In his estimation, the Spirit Stones stored by the Gambling City were probably already sitting in the Board of Trustees' warehouse by now.
The gloved young man rapidly considered his options in his mind.
He didn't want to tell Loren, in front of so many other major powers, that he didn't have enough Spirit Stones on hand.
Losing face in such a situation would an he couldn't hold his head up in the high-tier superhuman circles of the Jadeite Star Domain the very next day.
More importantly, a high-tier superhuman from the Casino Board of Trustees not being able to produce 28,000 Spirit Stones would bring naked humiliation upon his organization.
Thus, with his mind racing at high speed, the gloved young man thought of a counterasure.
"My apologies, sir, but we cannot exchange them for you at this ti."
After saying this, he glanced at Loren's reaction.
Seeing that the other party didn't have any extre reaction upon hearing this.
He then continued, explaining to Loren on his own:
"Due to so well-known unexpected factors, the Gambling City's Spirit Stones were transferred long ago and are currently unavailable for exchange."
"However, if you are in urgent need, you can ask the three major families to exchange these chips. They still owe compensation for the losses inflicted upon our Gambling City."
"And the Spirit Stones they will compensate in the future are, in every sense, the property of the Labey Street Casino City."
Whoa! Not only refusing to hand over the Spirit Stones but also dragging the Nature Sect person along to pressure the three major families!
A pretty good idea. Young people's brains sure work well. This was the thought in the minds of the other faction leaders present.
Most people on the scene, after hearing his words, looked towards the three major families with playful eyes.
Their gazes were full of schadenfreude, and also resembled the eyes of wolves eager to tear off a piece of at.
