She looks like this now, it means she's really angry.
The effect of the curse art ended, and Niu Nan suddenly woke up, pointing at Li Ang and shouting, "You used a confusion spell on me! You're not a law enforcer, you have no right to interrogate me like this!"
Niu Nan yelled, and the wary customers scattered in all directions, while the bank guards immediately rushed over.
Li Ang smiled at him, "Didn't you say it yourself, do you have evidence of me casting spells?"
From the stairs to the side, a middle-aged man quickly walked down, he was human, dressed in luxurious and exquisite aristocratic attire of the kingdom, wearing a monocle.
"I was unaware the councilman had graced the Holy Capital Bank with your presence; forgive us for not welcoming you sooner."
This man immediately came over to greet Elaphia.
The people in the Holy City have a certain mentality similar to residents of an old-era royal capital "beneath the emperor's feet," enjoying talking about the people and events standing at the top of the world as a pastime.
They love to chat about which Celestial Group ranks are rising or falling and which trendsetting Sky Knights have emerged.
People like Li Ang, as a member of a Sky Cavalry that suddenly rose to first place, who naturally doesn't seek the limelight, aren't widely recognized, but certain people in the Holy City, they're all cautious to know who the councilmen and Public Affairs Committee members are.
So, when Elaphia entered, all the employees were extremely tense.
"Bank Manager Schneider."
Elaphia said calmly, "You illegally froze the customer's personal bank account, the violator has admitted their actions, I need to take him back to the Hall of Order for questioning."
The bank manager who came hurriedly maintained a smile on his face, "There must be some misunderstanding. I've heard a bit about this matter, but since it involves assets of the first, ah no, now temporarily second-ranked Celestial Group, it's significant and needs to be carefully considered."
"What evidence do you have that a Sky Knight from here embezzled the assets?" Aifei looked at Li Ang and asked.
"Well, this is..."
Bank Manager Schneider started rambling, playing tai chi, which has almost become his instinctive skill in his position by now.
"I'll take the person away."
The blond young girl didn't waste words with Schneider and dragged Malonan to leave.
"Wait."
Schneider raised his hand, and the bank guards gathered up their weapons to surround them.
Elaphia raised an eyebrow, her spirituality began to subtly tremble.
"This is a bank, after all."
Li Ang said, "It's a place where they're allowed to impose rules on others, but always trying to escape rules aimed at themselves."
Elaphia nodded almost imperceptibly.
Schneider arrogantly lifted his chin at Li Ang, "Do you know where this is? We represent the Guild Affairs Committee, safeguarding the property rights of a vast number of Sky Knights. It's clearly stated that your assets are frozen, do you not understand?"
He had just finished speaking when he saw, behind the blondie Douding, blades of silver diamond-shaped sharp weapons emerged like a peacock opening its feathers and unfolded in an arc.
In less than a breath, the blades turned into shadows, instantly passing through all the guards' armor or clothing, pinning them harmlessly to the wall.
The blondie Douding squinted her eyes, "You little minion, who do you think you're talking to? You're really audacious."
"E-even if you're a councilman, you can't draw your weapon here, Lord Yusef will propose impeaching you…"
Though sweat was flowing on Schneider's head, he persisted with his words.
Aifei, with her palm facing upward, hooked her finger towards the ceiling, the silver blades directly pierced through the bank's dome above, cutting a circle into the dome, and large stone bricks rained down.
Schneider hurriedly covered his head and knelt to dodge, while Li Ang created a Magic Air Shield to shield himself and Elaphia overhead.
After the falling bricks, Elaphia's voice turned cold and devoid of emotion, "Lift your head! Look at the sky!"
Schneider and Malonan trembled as they looked up at the sky, seeing the blue-violet clear sky as dark clouds retreated.
"You think you're someone important just because the guild treats the Holy City residents equally in protection? Tell me, what's in the sky?"
"Clouds, n-no, it's an Arcane Shield."
Schneider instinctively tried to argue but quickly realized and changed his words.
Elaphia pointed at the blue-violet shield displaying arcane runes, "Standing before you is a member of the Knight Resolution Council, someone who has a seat there based on personal strength and merit, remember this well. The reliance to live in the Demon Disaster Realm - this Guardian Array, a part of its control lies in my hands.
"Because councilmen make decisions in the clouds, you thought matters concerning common minions like you are all under Yusef's control? Even laughing at small minions like you would make me feel ashamed.
"Release the freeze immediately," the blond heiress said
"Well, because the key to Vault No. 1 can only be used once a day, things have already been stored in it today, so..."
"Then tomorrow. Don't let me hear any new excuse, or I'll personally breach your vault."
Schneider was somewhat indifferent, the people of the Holy City all knew, Vault No. 1 was protected with casting from the guild's founding wizard, strength below legendary couldn't break it.
"You're welcome to try."
Having said that, Elaphia raised her hand, with pure magic chains binding Malonan, she walked towards the exit of the bank.
"Ah, the bank, with eyes that judge people by their appearance, doing stuff like a wild dog snatching food," Li Ang followed her out the door.
On the street, Elaphia waved her hand, a member of the Flame Corps came over and took hold of the handcuffs of Malonan.
The Douding instructed a few words, and the Flame Corps member took the dejected and strong Niu Nan towards the tower of the Order Corps' headquarters.
A person in uniform as a bank employee stood not far away, when Li Ang turned his head to look at him, the person seemed very nervous and went into the bank after making eye contact with Li Ang.
Li Ang looked at the departing Malonan, guessing that guy was that bank teller who Niu Nan mentioned skipped work? If he wasn't skipping work, then he was supposed to serve Li Ang instead. Whether he considered himself lucky or unlucky, who knows.
"This incident will be defined by his own arrogant ridicule after violating procedures resulting in a defrauded customer. I didn't see this customer use any curse art," Elaphia said.
"As expected of the Order Corps' leader, perceptive as always," Li Ang smiled and shook his head.
Once people had left, Aifei smiled at Li Ang, "Now it's finally done for you."
She seemed a bit embarrassed because the promise wasn't fulfilled initially.
"Thank you," Li Ang didn't intend to bring up the reason for the delay, sparing her the embarrassment, just giving thanks.
Upon realizing spiritual driving, he had already managed to deal with it smoothly and see what Rams and Yusef were conspiring.
"No need to thank me, I said, I'll help you no matter what."
Aifei turned her head slightly.
Li Ang smiled, "I've never dealt with this bank manager before, he's quite arrogant, isn't he?"
The blond young girl nodded, "He's a bit odd."
They both felt Schneider was too audacious, although Yusef was building power and ordinary people's perception of Knight Resolution Council members wasn't strong enough, still, something felt off.
"He dared to mention Yusef impeaching you, huh," Li Ang remarked.
"That's impossible," Aifei shook her head, "only councilmen can propose it unless they believe..."
"Rams can enter the Knight Resolution Council." They said in unison.
A flash of strange colors in their eyes, they were about to continue talking when they heard Zoe and others' voices from the side.
"Ah," seeing Elaphia, the young girls paused momentarily.
