The onlooking crowd saw this scene, angry yet silent, whispering among themselves.

"That’s a bit excessive."

"Yeah, it’s unnecessary to take it this far."

"Exactly, killing with a nod is enough."

...

"Mind your own business, what are you staring at!"

Jia Wei turned and shouted at the crowd.

The Guard Captain on site, along with Jia Wei’s companions, cast unfriendly glances at the surrounding spectators.

At that time, the crowd’s faces showed a trace of fear, and they couldn’t help but take a few steps back, all too scared to make a sound.

This clearly showed that Jia Wei held considerable power and reputation.

At this moment, Jia Wei stepped down arrogantly, mocking and laughing at Azari, whose face was covered in blood.

"You think you’re someone special, why don’t you take a good look at yourself? Let me tell you, your girlfriend died because you’re useless, do you even know how to spell useless?"

Azari spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, gritting his teeth.

"Jia Wei, I’ll never be human if I don’t kill you."

The Lieutenant who had saved Jia Wei advised him in a low voice.

"That’s enough, take him back and deal with him slowly."

But Jia Wei was still drunk, his anger not fully vented. Normally, everyone around him treated him with utmost respect, yet today he nearly met his end because of this brat.

His pride was hurt, so he told his companions.

"You don’t need to worry about this, I have to teach him a lesson today. Drag him up, strip off his Mechanical Armor."

The soldiers nearby rushed over to strip Azari’s Mechanical Armor.

Just then, Azari suddenly erupted, forcibly breaking his pinned right hand, his body rolled fiercely, sweeping the Lieutenant and Jia Wei off their feet.

He then sprang up, drawing a Beam Gun from his waist with his left hand and aimed it at Jia Wei.

The arrogance on Jia Wei’s face instantly turned to terror.

"No!"

At this moment, the Guard Captain on site also unhesitatingly raised his Beam Gun towards Azari, ready to shoot him.

Seeing this, Su Mo quietly instructed.

"Xiao Shi!"

Suddenly, a peculiar glint flashed in Su Mo’s eyes, and at that moment, the Guard Captain abruptly froze and appeared dazed.

Bang!

In the next instant, Jia Wei’s head exploded, with blood and white matter splattered everywhere.

The Guard Captain snapped back to reality, witnessing Jia Wei’s killing, his face turned pale. Just as other soldiers were about to open fire, he stopped them decisively.

"No shooting, capture him alive. Azari, you have no way to escape, surrender now."

The Guard Captain wasn’t reluctant to eliminate Azari on the spot; it’s just that Azari killed Jia Wei right in front of him, making it hard for him to shirk responsibility. If he killed Azari now, there would be no one left to take the blame.

Azari raised his gun, shouting at the approaching guards.

"Stay back!"

"Captain, get out of here!"

Azari’s companions, who had been subdued, shouted.

Azari looked at the three companions and said, "Ah Mu, I apologize for dragging you into this mess."

"Captain, don’t say that. Without you, we would have died countless times on the battlefield."

"We volunteered for this."

Ah Mu and the others responded.

"I’m sorry, brothers. I’m going ahead. Wei An, I’m coming for you."

Azari then raised the Beam Gun to his own head.

"Don’t!"

The Guard Captain’s face turned dark.

But it was too late, bang!

Azari fell dead, blood pooling around him.

"Captain....."

Ah Mu and his companions cried out mournfully.

This tragic affair ended in a drama, leaving the crowd sighing.

Watching this unfold, Su Mo shook his head, silently lamenting the loss of another elite warrior from Star Ring City.

Jia Wei’s NCO companions looked at the scene with steely expressions, speechless for a long time.

The Guard Captain then asked Lieutenant Xiza.

"Sir, what do we do now."

"What do you mean, send the remaining three to a military tribunal, and sentence them harshly. Ambushing an officer on the street, that’s enough for a hundred death penalties."

Lieutenant Xiza roared.

At this moment, a young man at the scene couldn’t help but comment.

"Didn’t he bring this upon himself? If he hadn’t gone too far, none of this would have happened."

"It’s not your place to speak."

Lieutenant Xiza glared viciously at the young man.

The young man backed away in fear.

Just as the guards were about to take Ah Mu and the others away, a sudden voice interrupted.

"The person who ambushed the officer has already chosen suicide out of guilt. Why are you arresting unrelated people? Isn’t this unreasonable?"

Whoosh~

Suddenly, everyone’s attention turned to the unexpected guest.

Su Mo stepped out of the crowd, carrying lots of packages.

"Are you blind? These are accomplices!"

Xiza was holding back a lot of anger.

Su Mo turned to ask everyone present: "Did anyone see these three kill anyone?"

"No!"

"Yeah, no!"

...

In an instant, many spectators shouted loudly.

"Shut up!"

The Guard Captain was also angry.

Xiza glared at Su Mo, saying, "Who are you? Just because you say they’re not guilty doesn’t make it true. I think you’re an accomplice too. How about you, too, be taken to the Judicial Court!"

"Oh, so it’s not enough for people to see it, an official rank is needed, is that it?"

Su Mo replied calmly.

"Arrest him."

Lieutenant Xiza couldn’t be bothered with Su Mo anymore; prolonging the issue would cause more trouble.

The soldiers around were about to seize Su Mo when he pulled out his officer’s ID and removed his cap.

"I am Su Mo, of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights! You can try it?"

The soldiers on site looked at Su Mo’s ID, carefully examined his features, and instantly their expressions changed, they cried out in fear.

"Lord Su Mo."

Lieutenant Xiza and others felt as if struck on the head, their minds went blank, ears buzzing.

"Lord, Lord Su Mo....."

"I’m asking once more in my capacity as a member of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights, did those three kill anyone?"

"No."

Xiza and the others replied trembling.

"If nobody was killed, why still keep them captive?"

Su Mo directly questioned.

The soldiers hurriedly released Ah Mu and the others.

Xiza, pushing through his distress, asked Su Mo.

"But Lord Su Mo, Jia Wei is dead, what should we do about that?"

"Do what needs to be done. You can apply for a line-of-duty death. Although his conduct wasn’t great, considering his years of service for Star Ring City, it should be approved. Today’s affair should serve as a warning to all of you. Don’t go overboard, leave a way open to meet again in the future, let’s disperse!"

Su Mo instructed sternly.
