Chapter 35: The Restraint of the Authorities

"Chief Advisor of the Angel Corps!"

"Officially protected…"

Just these few words caused a storm in the hearts of everyone present. Their gazes once again fell onto the young man in the cheap jeans and white T-shirt, their faces full of shock.

By this time, Anna had already rushed over to Irving with her team.

For some unknown reason, her expression was complex, as if she had a lot to say. She paused for a moment, then whispered, "Quickly put away your wand. Leave the rest to me. We can't cause a scene here."

On the other side, Aron approached the bodyguards. Having served on the frontier for several decades, his eyes were filled with a chilling murderous intent, "Do I need to repeat what I just said?"

"All Angel Corps players are protected by the authorities, let alone the Chief Advisor. Do you want to break the law knowingly?"

The bodyguards were completely flustered this time.

They could ignore James, disregard the threats of the Green Ivy Group... but they couldn't ignore the authorities unless they wanted to court death.

"You didn't hear what Captain Aron said?" Gary's elderly face squeezed out a smile. He had met Aron before when setting up the Dragon Age Guild. He quickly shouted at the dumbfounded bodyguards, "Are you blind? Get back here."

"Y-yes..." The bodyguards were mentally cursing their luck.

"Captain Aron, have you made a mistake? How could that kid be the Chief Advisor of the Angel Corps? I've never heard of it before." Gary said with a puzzled expression.

Not just him, this was the question in the minds of many people present.

The Angel Corps represented the official power in the Otherworld Game. Main figures like Anna and Aron couldn't avoid the investigation of family powers, after all, they wouldn't want to unknowingly offend these people.

However, this was the first time they had heard of the "Chief Advisor" position.

"Do all the appointments within the Angel Corps need to be reported to you?" Aron retorted coldly.

"...…" Gary was left speechless, feeling rather awkward. He quickly explained, "Captain Aron, I didn't mean that. It was just a misunderstanding. If I had known he was your Chief Advisor, I wouldn't have…"

"Wouldn't have what?" Aron cut him off, not giving Gary any face. And given his position, he didn't need to either.

He continued, "I will investigate exactly what happened just now. But regardless, sending so many personal bodyguards to target the Chief Advisor of the Angel Corps, how can you explain that?"

This time, Gary fell completely silent.

He couldn't have imagined that sticking up for his grandson would result in offending the authorities.

What was crucial was Irving's identity as the chief advisor... Many of the people present began to speculate, with two primary conclusions.

Either Irving had a very powerful high-level background.

Or he had a top-tier talent in the game far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Grandpa, are we just going to let that kid off the hook? The Smith family promised that Vicky would marry me..." Dennis, standing nearby, felt like crying.

A while ago, he had grit his teeth and given up two projects he had worked hard to secure to Joseph, all with the intention of making him force Vicky to marry him... But now, not only had he lost Vicky and the two projects, he had also been humiliated by Irving in front of everyone. His wrist almost crushed.

Despite Dennis keeping his voice low as he pleaded with Gary, his words were overheard by Aron. The murderous intent in his eyes, which had just receded, flared up again: "What did you just say?"

"Shut up! You good-for-nothing wretch!" Gary, shocked, raised his hand and slapped Dennis across the face. "This whole thing started because of you! If it weren't for you, how would I have... never mind."

"Captain Aron, I'm truly sorry. I apologize on behalf of this disgraceful grandson of mine." Gary once again turned to Aron. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This scene seemed somewhat unbelievable to many of the people present.

But upon further thought, they understood why Gary would swallow his pride to say such things... The position of Chief Advisor of the Angel Corps was higher than even that of Aron, let alone Anna!

And the fact that so many bodyguards had surrounded Irving with the intention of laying hands on him was witnessed by many. This incident could be explained as a misunderstanding at best, and an open attack on official personnel at worst.

No matter how powerful the Taylor family was, they wouldn't dare to clash with the authorities!

"Why are you guys here?" Irving looked at Anna and slowly put his wand away.

Anna gave a bitter smile: "How could we not come? Did you know what would have happened if you had cast[Fireball]just now?"

"I knew." Irving replied.

Anna was taken aback. She said, puzzled, "If you knew, why would you still do it? If we were a moment later, everything would have been irreversible."

Once Irving had cast[Fireball]in the real world and killed someone in front of so many witnesses, not even Anna would be able to protect him.

This precedent could not be set, at least not before the real apocalypse arrived. The authorities would never allow such a thing to happen.

"I only do what I think is right. There's no reason." Irving said lightly, but his tone was full of determination.

This time, however, Anna could not find any words to respond.

She looked at Irving with a complex expression. After a moment, she seemed to understand something. She let out a light sigh. A new respect for him was forming in her heart.

Soon, the situation in the banquet hall was brought under control. After Anna and Aron roughly understood what had happened, they too frowned. There were many family matters involved in this situation, and it couldn't be resolved immediately.

"Alright, everyone please calm down. The recent incident will be followed up and investigated by the authorities, and the relevant individuals will definitely be punished." From the central stage, Anna's voice came through the microphone. She continued, "I presume everyone came to this banquet with a purpose in mind. How to survive in the Other world Game.

However, I must remind you all of one thing..."

"The authorities allow the existence of guilds and will not intervene in cooperation and transactions between guilds. However, any act of rebellion will not be tolerated and will be subject to severe crackdown by the authorities. By then, it won't just be the guild that faces consequences, but the entire family backing it will be implicated!"

After laying out these words, Anna stepped down from the stage. The scene was eerily silent.

She represented the Angel Corps, the authorities.

Those words just now were a reminder, but also a warning to these family powers!

Once certain lines were crossed, severe repercussions would ensue, like a strike of thunder!

Descending from the stage, Anna didn't leave, but walked straight toward Irving. Lowering her voice a little, she said, "Can you come upstairs to the private room with me? I have some things I'd like to discuss with you."

"Can't we talk here?" Irving looked at Vicky as he responded.

Anna seemed to understand something and continued, "It's not very convenient here with so many people around. Don't worry, Captain Aron is still here. Even if those people had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare touch her."

Irving nodded, and he and Anna both headed upstairs to the hotel. The Hinton Hotel, as a five-star establishment, has not only guest rooms but also dedicated meeting rooms and fully enclosed private rooms.

Once they had seated themselves in the private room, before Anna could speak, Irving laughed and said, "You called me here about the equipment, didn't you?"

Anna seemed slightly taken aback, then nodded.

When she saw the post in the trading area by the user[Lucky Pretty Boy], she immediately thought of Irving... As an insider of the authorities, she can see the detailed information of every user. Moreover, they had already met in person before.

That was nearly a thousand pieces of equipment!

Even the Angel Corps, with the backing of the authorities, couldn't resist the temptation!
