“The Star System Alliance’s pact does not include that clause,” Shi Qiang said, “If the Lancelot Star People want to intervene, then we must take action.”

The turn of events stunned the populace of Chuanxing City, and soon after, cheers erupted.

How could they let the Black Shield Group’s betrayal go unpunished?

“Hum.”

Several figures moved toward Liu Yu below. The people of Lancelot Star had extremely grim expressions, never expecting the Divine Sword Bureau to dare be so assertive.

But indeed, this was the opponent’s territory, and the Divine Sword Bureau had brought many strong individuals; they had no advantage.

A Mechanical Body charged forward, but saw Cao Jiang from the Divine Sword Team take action. He was clad in thick Armor, holding a chain in his hand, with a spiked metal sphere at the other end of the chain. When the sphere was thrown, it burst out a Strong Energy Light that smashed toward the Mechanical Body.

“Boom…”

A loud noise echoed as the Mechanical Body was directly smashed away, cracking, and the person inside spat out a mouthful of blood.

Othe Lancelot Star People wanted to step forward, but the Divine Sword Bureau’s men all took up their weapons, clearly not joking this time, but seriously engaging.

“Roar…” Liu Yu also had equipment on him, including an Armor that appeared and began guarding his body; he clearly did not want to sit and wait for death, knowing well what would happen if the Divine Sword Bureau took him away.

“Refusing to cooperate with the investigation, resisting arrest, execute on the spot,” Fu Yuan said coldly upon seeing Liu Yu’s actions. As soon he finished speaking, a figure dashed toward Liu Yu like lightning.

Liu Yu’s face changed drastically, his body rushing upward as the Armor began to cover his head.

But then, a dazzling trail of light arrived, and afterward, he saw a brilliant Energy Sword Light.

“Puchi…”

One sword cut the throat; the Armor had not yet fully protected him when the sword already sliced open his throat, blood spurting out.

Liu Yu clutched his throat, looking at the person who killed him, his eyes filled with despair.

“So strong.” Seeing this scene caused countless hearts to tremble, truly worthy of being a person from the Divine Sword Bureau.

The person who killed Liu Yu was Xie Xiao from the Divine Sword Team, in his thirties, fair-skinned, and looking quite young, but in reality, he was no longer young, and his Source Power Level was also not low, A+.

The CEO of the Black Shield Group was executed on the spot.

The populace of Chuanxing City, witnessing this scene, felt very vindicated. Betraying the Federation and siding with Lancelot Star against Xu Mo, Liu Yu had been living freely, even daring to come to the scene to watch the duel.

Now, executed on the spot.

Seeing the fallen Liu Yu, David breathed heavily, his fists making a crunching noise.

This was outrageous.

Their noble people from Lancelot Star were subjected to continual humiliation here today, something he had never experienced before.

Since arriving on Byron Star, this lowly civilization had always fawned and pleasured them, allowing them to enjoy various superior treatments, but this also made him look down on the Byron Star people more— a group of lowly natives, only fit to nod and bow in their presence.

But this incident was overturning all of that, humiliating Amanda in the duel arena, then torturing her to death, and afterward, boldly killing Liu Yu in front of them. Although he had never regarded Liu Yu highly, seeing him only as a dog, even if a dog, he was still their dog.

The people from the Divine Sword Bureau executed him on the spot.

“Prepare yourselves for Lancelot Star’s sanctions,” David said coldly to Shi Qiang and the others from the Divine Sword Bureau, his body fluctuating with anger.

Shi Qiang looked at David and said, “We welcome all friendly extraterrestrials to Byron Star, but if Lancelot Star refuses to abide by the laws of Byron Star, then, I will suggest to the Federation Government to revoke all preferential policies for Lancelot Star.”

The people from Lancelot Star glanced at Shi Qiang, then left angrily, their faces too ashamed to stay any longer, humiliated repeatedly by this group of lowly citizens.

Soon, the flying device of the Lancelot Star People took off, leaving the area.

After they left, many people still remained in the stands, all of whom were from Byron Star.

In one direction, the young man next to Li Zelong spoke to Mayor Liu Feng, “Mayor Liu Feng, the public must greatly appreciate the Divine Sword Bureau’s forceful actions today. However, does this mean that Mr. Liu Feng’s efforts will have been in vain?”

“What the Divine Sword Bureau did was to uphold the laws and dignity of Byron Star. I support it fully,” Mayor Liu Feng responded. “We are willing to cooperate with aliens, but those who do not follow the rules should also be warned.”

“A wise viewpoint, Mr. Mayor,” the young man said with a smile as he stood up and walked toward the flying device.

Today, he didn’t see what he had hoped for and felt somewhat disappointed.

Seeing him leave, Mayor Liu Feng also stood up and glanced at Xu Mo from afar before turning and leaving the area.

Many people left, but many more stayed, especially the citizens of Chuanxing City, who remained in front of the screen. The live broadcast didn’t stop, and they could still see Xu Mo’s figure.

Xu Mo moved gracefully towards the direction of the Divine Sword Bureau, and shortly after, he arrived beside Ge Qing and said, “Thanks.”

Without Ge Qing’s three months of devilish training, this fight would have been very difficult. Amanda’s Mechanical Body was stronger than he had anticipated. In fact, both parties had underestimated each other.

“You’re welcome,” Ge Qing replied, still ‘ungraciously’ accepting Xu Mo’s gratitude, something Xu Mo had grown accustomed to. But Ge Qing continued, “Your performance on the battlefield today was perfect.”

It seemed that Xu Mo also used computational accuracy in the battle, seizing many opportunities that ordinary people could not.

Xu Mo looked at her in astonishment. Could Ge Qing actually give compliments?

Seeing her looking down and busy with something, Xu Mo felt that this woman might have noticed something else.

But it didn’t matter, as they all “mutually understood.”

“Impressive,” Shi Qiang and others from the Divine Sword Bureau also returned to the site, as Shi Qiang praised aloud.

“Indeed not bad,” the surrounding people commended.

The sight of this battle was breathtaking for everyone; Xu Mo had had several near-death experiences but managed to defeat Amanda, through sheer skill and not luck.

Feeling the reminiscent commendatory glances from the people around him, Xu Mo felt that the atmosphere in the Divine Sword Bureau was quite pleasant, much better than at the Extraordinary Academy.

“Fu Yuan, could this cause trouble for the Divine Sword Bureau?” Xu Mo asked Fu Yuan.

“Don’t worry too much. If you hadn’t acted, the people from the Divine Sword Bureau would have intervened. You’ve seen Liu Yu from the Black Shield Group, it was necessary to let them know that we on Byron Star have our limits,” Fu Yuan replied. “Also, this time many members of the Star Lord Knight Order came from Lancelot Star, and they weren’t just here to watch your duel with Amanda – they had other motives and hoped to use this duel to undermine Byron Star. This time, you really made a difference.”

“However, Lancelot Star will likely take serious actions next, so be careful,” Fu Yuan’s expression became serious. This time, the conflict was evident, and he could not predict how Lancelot Star would retaliate, but precautions were necessary.

“Right,” Xu Mo nodded.

“Let’s step outside for a bit,” Fu Yuan said. “Many people are outside wanting to see you.”

“Hmm?” Xu Mo was momentarily stunned but soon understood.

This duel had indeed been the center of attention, watched by billions. The public’s anger towards the Lancelot Star People had already reached its peak, and now, after killing Amanda in the duel, Xu Mo could imagine the uproar it would cause.

“Alright.”

Xu Mo didn’t refuse and, joining Stark Hao and the others, headed outside.

Moments later, outside the duel arena, deafening cheers erupted, a sound that lasted for a long time without dissipating.

Before the finals of the Extraordinary Contest, Xu Mo had already gained tremendous popularity, and after emerging as the champion, his popularity reached its peak.

Later, he joined the Divine Sword Bureau and challenged Amanda to a duel, eventually defeating Amanda on the battlefield.

Unknowingly, Xu Mo’s popularity among the people of Byron Star was unshakable, marking him as a symbolic figure!
