Chapter 93

Chapter 93:

In Claire's room, Summer and Qiao Chuxin stared wide eyed at the enchanting young man who was gorging like his life depended on it, speechless.

Wasn't it already the tenth plate of food?

The guy looked so beautiful on the surface, but the way he ate was so nasty. Most importantly, his stomach seemed to be bottomless. Who knows how many times Walter and Jean had already stealthily went to get food from the basement. Of course, besides them, no one else knew the current situation.

"Did you eat like this before too?" Summer asked carefully, seeing the Dong Fenghou who was gorging on food like his life depended on it.

Dong Fenghou couldn't talk at the moment, so he nodded, then stuffed a piece of bacon in his mouth and drank a swig of juice.

"Your appetite has always been this big?" Qiao Chuxin asked, also cautious.

Dong Fenghou nodded, still chewing bacon.

"Tch, who could afford to raise him if he eats like this?" Walter said sourly.

"I...... was kicked out, eat... too much." Dong Fenghou said a few unclear words.

"Because he ate too much, his family avoided him and kicked him out so he would rely on himself." Camille translated for Dong Fenghou, delicately setting down an exquisite tea cup.

Everybody suddenly realized seeing the huge pile of empty plates on the table and all the bones and empty cans on the ground. How could an ordinary family afford such a way of eating?

"You haven't eaten so much in such a long time, right?" Claire propped up her chin, lazily leaning on the table as she spoke to Dong Fenghou.

Dong Fenghou nodded vigorously at Claire, showing a satisfied smile.

"Follow me, listen to me and work for me. I will never let you go hungry. You can eat a lot and the food will be tasty too." Claire said indifferently, making everybody in the room feel scorn.

Walter's mouth twitched. Of course the little devil would never be able to hide her true colors.

Dong Fenghou's eyes lit up, so excited that he stood up, still holding a drumstick in one leg, waving it as he said inarticulately, "No, not every time, each so much, hungry for a long time, ate this..."

Just as Camille was going to translate, Claire nodded. "I understand what you mean. You're trying to say, you don't eat so much every time, it was just that you were too hungry for so long this time so you ate this much. You're requests aren't that much and you will definitely serve me well."

Dong Fenghou nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking for feed. Seeing the clear, uncoverable joy in his eyes, everybody shivered. Not only was this guy pure, he was hired cheaply, but acted like he got lucky and had finally found a patron after much difficulty!

Of course, next, he signed a contract, selling himself. Once Claire put away Dong Fenghou's contract, she was faced with strange, unfeeling gazes.

"What? Got a problem?" Claire raised her head slightly and said coldly.

The city lord froze. He never thought at such a dangerous moment, the girl would actually say such calm words. Perhaps? They didn't display any of their true power yesterday? If it was like this! Happiness flashed through the city lord's eyes. If it was really like so, then Placid Waters would have hope. Then the girl's calm and collected attitude made sense!

"Commander White has a way to repel the sea beasts?" The city lord asked eagerly.

"Yes. Also, the sea beasts will never attack again. I promise." Claire said seriously, nodding.

"Really?" The city lord was so moved, he was trembling. Although the girl before him looked ordinary and no older than fifteen, she gave a feeling of trustworthiness that couldn't be explained. As for why, the city lord wasn't able to say. Perhaps it was her eyes bursting with boundless confidence or perhaps it was the indescribable brilliance that she radiated.

"Yes, that's why I hope that after we repel the sea beasts, your lordship will find a boat for us so we can go out to sea as fast as possible. We have business to deal with." Claire was completely solemn. Then she looked ahead. "There's no time to lose, the sea beasts are about to attack. We must prepare!"

"Good, good, good!" The city lord hurriedly moved aside, out of the way, then hastily added, "If the sea beasts withdraw, I will prepare the greatest, biggest vessel and best captain to accompany you out at sea."

"I hope your lordship respects his promise." Claire turn and smiled. Then she stood there loftily atop the city wall, slowly retrieving the bow from her back.

The city lord and his personal bodyguards all froze seeing Claire's actions, not understanding what she was going to do.

The row of magicians all watched Claire's movements suspicious and the soldiers guarding at the wall were also frowning. Did that girl now want her life? She just stood there at the highest point of the wall without any concern, but a giant wave could knock her over and drown her!

Claire stood there loftily, slowly raising the bow in her hands, aiming forward.

Gradually, slowly, she pulled the bowstring......

The expressions of the magicians on the wall all changed because they could feel at the same time an enormous magic undulation currently pulsing coming from the ordinary looking girl!

As the bowstring was pulled more, the magician's hearts all beated more intensely. The magic power was becoming more and more huge!

A golden fire ball was forming at the tip of the bow, continuously enlarging before all their incredulous gazes, becoming bigger and bigger.

The boiling hot repressive aura made it unbearable for the surrounding people.

Before the splashing spray could approach, they immediately evaporated.

Claire's expression was ice cold.

She released the bow with rapt attention!

Claire's beautiful sculpture like posture was imprinted deeply into the eyes of everyone present, deeply into their hearts.

Ice cold complexion, stanchly resolute gaze, beautiful hair flying....

"Hum..." A long, melodious hum cut through the dusky air, a golden afterimage forming as the golden flame shot forward.

Bang! The exploding sound resonated into the horizon jolted everybody.

The city lord even forgot to think as he just stared at the scene in the sky, unable to say a word.
