Shepard glanced at the short and stout man.
He was probably the Sanctuary level cultivator Fiona was talking about.
The team of soldiers standing behind them were all armed to the teeth with various weapons and explosives.
Shepard sighed. "Please just leave. I don't want to hurt anyone."
His words made Fiona flare up in fury at once. "Lance!"
Lance, the short and stout man, took a step forward. Spiritual pressure surged out of him, forming a gigantic hand that reached out to grab at Shepard.
Wilbur scrambled to hide in a corner as a cold, cruel smile appeared on Fiona's face.
Just then, the Nature Longsword lit up and swung toward the gigantic hand.
The hand was crushed with a deafening noise, and Lance retreated in shock.
Rampant spirit energy surged into the air, but the Nature Longsword was already at Fiona's neck.
All Fiona could feel was an immense wave of power entering her body, making her tremble in terror.
The team of armed soldiers raised their weapons in a hurry, aiming them right at Shepard. However, none of them dared to do anything, seeing as the sword was right on Fiona's neck.
Shepard hardly paid the armed soldiers any mind, glancing at them coldly. "Get out of here now, while you're still alive."
Lance wiped at the blood by the corner of his lips from where he lay, staring at Shepard as he called out to Fiona. "I'm sorry, miss, but we need to get out of here."
The single move from the Nature Longsword pretty much confirmed for Lance that he was no match for Shepard.
Despite not knowing where this Super Sanctuary level cultivator had come from, Lance's priority at hand was getting Fiona out of there safely.
No armed force could hold a candle to an elite like this, regardless of how powerful their weapons were.
The only weapons that might pose a threat were cannons or bazookas, which they did not quite have the authority to access. Besides, Fiona was now at this guy's mercy.
The truth was that there was nothing she hated more than perverts.
Fiona would seduce every man she found handsome, and they would follow her to her house.
Yet what awaited them was endless torment.
Those sleazy, money-hungry men would be tortured within an inch of their lives before they were let out. They would be forced to keep their mouths shut and leave the city, some even leaving the country.
That was where the rumor of Fiona's love for men came from.
Of course, she hardly cared about what people had to say about her.
It seemed, however, that she really liked this one.
Lance let out a groan internally, unsure if this would be good or bad for her.
Meanwhile, over in Wilbur and Shepard's room, Wilbur shook his head and said, "Show's over. Time for bed."
