Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy Officer (Part 5) Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Iron Blood Female Admiral VS Vengeful Female Deputy Officer (Part 5) The massive Star Eagle slowly descended upon Storm Star, and rows of soldiers with immaculate military bearing disembarked from the warship.
Chairman Thomas of the Storm Chamber of Commerce watched with envy, for he knew well the terrifying combat effectiveness these silent soldiers could unleash in battle.
Immediately, everyoneâs gaze turned towards the hatch.
A tall figure walked out, stepping down the battleshipâs staircase one step at a time.
Clomp, clomp, clomp. That was the sound of military boots hitting the ground, as the soldiers lined on either side extended their right hands in salute when their commander passed by.
The wind lifted her dark green coat, and Gu Shengyinâs face bore not a single superfluous expression as she walked straight up to the President of the Storm Chamber of Commerce.
She hadnât had the chance to speak⊠when her expression suddenly faltered slightly.
In the next instant, the short blade belted at her waist was drawn, accurately intercepting something at a certain spot.
âClang!â The sound of metal colliding rang out, and at the same time, Gu Shengyin withdrew the hand she had just extended.
Not far off, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground was heard, and without a word from her, soldiers from behind consciously ran towards that direction.
âChairman Thomas, it seems the security defenses here at Storm Star could use some strengthening,â Gu Shengyin said with unrippled composure, looking at the Commerce Guild President, whose expression had turned quite unsightly since the incident.
Watching this formidable woman skillfully sheathe the short blade that had just deflected the bullet, Chairman Thomas shelved the shock flooding his heart and sincerely apologized, âIâm truly sorry for such an occurrence, Admiral. The Storm Chamber of Commerce will assuredly provide a satisfactory explanation for you.â
Gu Shengyin nodded slightly and followed Thomas into the Commerce Guild building.
She left behind a crowd of commonfolk who were just recovering from their shock.
âDid I just see things⊠did someone really use a knife to block a bullet?â
âYou didnât see things⊠but isnât the main point that our Storm Star just received an assassination attempt the moment the Admiral arrived?â
âNo, no, no, the main point surely is, not only is the Admiral not a scary witch, but sheâs actually so handsome?â
âRight, right, right, if a woman could look like Sir Situ, Iâd be willing to marry her too!â a girl in a cute puff-sleeved dress said, full of longing.
In the midst of an excitedly discussing crowd was a particularly conspicuous man with short red hair.
Not just because of his pure red hair, but also the carefree smile on his extremely handsome face.
âA woman whoâs cool and handsome, I like that!â His eyes twinkled with interest, but the words he spoke made his subordinate behind him break out in cold sweat.
âSir, sheâs an Empire General, youâŠâ the man behind him trailed off, reluctant to continue.
The redhead man glanced at him: âSo what if sheâs an Empire General? Donât Empire Generals fall in love? With my charming good looks, how could she possibly resist me?â
His subordinate had no response to his employerâs unpredictable nature, yet dared not say any more: This man, even though he seemed approachable and easy to talk to now, could become terrifyingly formidable if ever angered, making one clueless as to how they might end up dead.
âLetâs go, Hans.â The redhead man lazily called out to his subordinate and started walking away.
He was pondering how to engineer a perfect chance meeting with the beauty.
