Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 823: Identification Card

Gloria remained seated with a calm composure, but her intention was filled with maliciousness.

Not only did she come here to threaten him to back off like a stray cat, but she also wanted him to apologize and cease all his actions.

Usually, Xu Feng would have bided his time and ignored them. But since enemies came knocking on his doorsteps voluntarily. It would be rude to remain still.

”Veronica, do you mind leaving first?” Xu Feng turned to her and suggested. ”I donʼt want you to see a bloody scene.”

”No need, Iʼll stay.” Veronica shook her head and refused. She was not about to ditch Xu Feng and flee for her safety. Not to mention, she doubted Gloria would let her go easily.

”Itʼs fine,” Xu Feng reassured her. ”Your citizenship status grants you immunity and I doubted they would dare lay a hand on you. As for me, Iʼm just a third-graded citizen.”

If Gloria happened to know he would be here, then he was certain that she had already investigated their background.

Xu Feng might have concealed most of his background and information at present, but his past was impossible to cover. Therefore, he didnʼt bother to conceal them either, given it would be a waste of effort and time.

Hence, his third-graded citizen status was easily discovered, giving Gloria the courage to confront him in such a manner.

A cityʼs grade was not just about strength but also about hierarchy.

Veronica hailed from a first-graded city, so no matter what, Gloria wouldnʼt dare to make a move on her unless she wanted to provoke the city behind her to start a war. The political affair revolving around that would be too troublesome to deal with.

However, a third-graded city like Avalon City was a different story.

She could simply pay a fine if Xu Feng was merely hospitalized and not killed.

Of course, that was on the premises if anyone even bothered to take on the case to investigate.

”Your companion can certainly leave, but are you sure you can leave unscathed?” Gloria suddenly said. ”I know youʼre quite famous in the Divine World, but this is the real world weʼre talking about.”

”Youʼre not wrong about that. Divine World and the real world are two different types.” Xu Feng agreed with her statement. ”However, youʼre wrong about one thing.”

It was at this moment that Xu Feng pulled out an identification card.

Almost immediately, Gloriaʼs face darkened upon recognizing the identification card. Her hand slowly turned into a fist as she clenched it tightly.

As for Veronica, she had to sneak a glimpse to see what kind of card it was.

Upon seeing it, she gasped in surprise.

”Y-You were a participant in the upcoming City Competition all along?” Veronicaʼs eyes widened in disbelief.

She didnʼt expect him to be a participant from the start, especially when they had made their way to Lumora City Inspection Site to directly poach fighters to join their guild.

This kind of gutsy move could have probably been done only by Xu Feng!

Meanwhile, Gloriaʼs face twisted in a frustrated and rage manner.

Indeed, if Xu Feng was just a mere third-graded citizen, then she could easily have him buried or hospitalized without needing to worry about the consequences.

However, things have changed now that it has been revealed that Xu Feng was a participant in the City Competition.

To harm a participant was equivalent to operating in bad faith and against all Citiesʼ protocols. It didnʼt even matter if the participant was from the lowest-graded city or not. The punishment would be the same and no one was allowed to bypass that law.

”No wonder you had the courage to come all the way to Lumora City. You had such a trump card from the start.” Gloria flashed a difficult smile and praised sarcastically.

”If I didnʼt have any trump card, then did you think I was just here to test my luck?” Xu Feng smirked coldly. ”The bait works perfectly, and now I know whoʼs the fucking bitch that spills the bean.”

”What?” Infuriated, Gloriaʼs eyes flared up from the vulgar insult.

”Ah, your ears might be infected with a virus to have trouble hearing at such a young age.” Xu Feng put on a sympathetic look and placed his hand on his chest. ”My condolences. Forgive me for not knowing about your disabilities.”

Shortly after saying that, Xu Feng held Veronicaʼs arm and softly dragged her away.

The bodyguards who stood in front of him hesitated briefly. They turned to look at Gloria, who gnashed her teeth before waving her hands. It was an indication to let them go.

After all, she couldnʼt possibly afford to be blamed for breaking all city protocol. By then, her status and inheritance position would be in jeopardy.

”How did you not even figure something out like that?” As soon as Xu Fengʼs presence was no longer present, Gloria glared at her bodyguards.

”We apologized, Miss. We didnʼt expect him to be a participant.” One of the bodyguards quickly bowed their heads and apologized.

”Hmph, a bunch of useless fools! Now I look like a clown in front of him and all my plans went to crap.” She gnashed her teeth, her eyes narrowed coldly.

This debt of humiliation—she will keep it in mind!

ʼHonorary Elder of Vanguard Guild. If you dare to step foot in the trial, then Iʼll make sure you suffer tremendously.ʼ She vowed silently.

…

Outside the restaurant.

”Just how many more secrets are you hiding?” Veronica asked in an astonished tone.

”What do you mean?” Xu Feng raised an eyebrow.

”That identification card.” She pointed it out.

”Ah, but you never asked.” He chuckled softly.

However, Veronica could sense that he was furious. Although his facial expression and demeanor didnʼt show anything. With her years of marketing experience, she could tell about it.

”Are you really fine?” She asked in concern. ”We didnʼt eat anything, and you seemed to be affected by that womanʼs threat.”

”Was I that obvious?” Xu Feng didnʼt wish to worry her. He thought he controlled his emotions and expression well. But turns out, it wasnʼt.
