Chapter 2416: Chapter 2416

“What’s there to joke about? I really don’t know! I asked David, but he didn’t tell me.”

“Then why did you ask me to apologize to him? I’m already kind enough to not tear him into pieces.

When have I, Arian Longer, apologized to such a nobody? I’m so mad,” Arian spat angrily.

“Ari! You can’t just look at the surface. I might not know who David is, but I know he is not simple! He has such a strong soul power at such an age that he must stand out even among the younger generation of Leila.”

After Salem finished speaking, he looked at Arian who was still furious. He smiled, ignored him, and continued to say to himself, “In addition, David said that for some reason, he can’t reveal his background. So I guess he is probably an heir secretly cultivated by a certain major force. Moreover, he might have the opportunity to become the actual controller in the future. He has not shown his face in public, so he can’t reveal himself. If you offend him, do you think he will let you go after he gains power?”

Upon hearing this, the anger in Arian’s heart was slowly extinguished.

If David had this status, he truly could not afford to offend him.

The top forces Salem mentioned were those with partial Overlords.

So, it would be as easy as pie to deal with a captain of the Amber City law enforcement team in the main city of The Spirit Cage.

However, Arian still said stubbornly, “This is just your conjecture, right? It may not be true.”

“I think I am 90% right.”

“I… I don’t believe it!” Arian was still stubborn.

“Ari, David can’t fake that confidence when he said that he wanted to kill you. He can and will kill you.

Trust me, I won’t harm you. You should just find a way to repair your relationship with him as much as possible in the future!

Offending him is not good for you. Of course, if you don’t believe me, I can’t do anything about that.

Anyway, I have already said what I should say. It’s up to you what you want to do. If David comes for you one day, just don’t ask me for help.”

Arian thought back to what David said as he passed by.

He asked Arian to be careful or else he would lose his life.

That contemptuous demeanor, the disdainful expression, and the eyes with a hint of murderous intent.

David was genuinely looking down on Captain Longer.

At that time, he was so dizzy with anger that he even wanted to teach David a lesson.

Looking back at it now, Arian was lucky that the mayor stopped him in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.

“M-Mayor, then… then what should I do?”

When Arian asked this question, it showed that he believed in Salem and was completely subdued.

“Didn’t David say he wanted to stay in Amber City for a while? As the captain of the law enforcement team, you can use your power to help him solve some troubles and make a good impression on him. I’ll ask him to come over sometime so you can clear up all misunderstandings,” Salem suggested.

“I see! Thank you, Mayor!” Arian bowed to Salem.

“You don’t need to thank me! It’s good that you can figure this out yourself, Ari. Your status is indeed very high in Amber City, but you still have a long way to go within Leila. Maybe you have been in a high position here for many years, so you are used to looking down on others. You have to know that this is very dangerous, and David’s incident can be a wake-up call for you.”

“Thank you for your pointers, Mayor!”

“Okay! Go! Find a way to better your relationship with David. You will thank me in the future.” Salem waved his hand.

“Yes, Mayor!”

Arian left with a heavy heart.

Now, his mind was full of thoughts. ‘How can I get in touch with David and build a good relationship with him?’

He knew Mayor was right.

He had been invincible in this tiny piece of land for too long. He had forgotten how to be humble.

If Mayor was not around today and he had to handle this, he would surely offend David and might even cripple him.

Then what would await him might be the monstrous anger brought upon by a top force with a partial Overlord.

Even with more than 100,000 elites of the law enforcement team in Amber City, and even if they would risk their lives to fight against the forces behind David, they would just be a nest of ants.

Anyone could wipe them out easily.

After thinking everything through, Arian was deflated.

He walked out of the door and saw Viktor lying on the ground, unconscious.

That guy was the culprit, so Arian must make his life a living hell.

Hence, he walked over, bent down, and grabbed one of Viktor’s legs to drag him towards the gate of the mayor’s residence!
