After a loud bang, a hole was blown in the corridor.

Thick smoke from the explosion filled the library.

This quickly attracted a large number of city guards to the library to seal off the area.

It wasn't until thick smoke appeared above the library that people outside realized something was wrong.

"Damn it, we're doomed!"

"What happened? How did it end like this?"

"It's blown up!"

"What exploded?"

"The library has exploded!"

"What the heck? The library was bombed?"

"What?! The library could be bombed?!"

Suddenly, the streets were filled with discussions about the library being bombed.

"Didn't His Majesty just issue a war order? How could anyone be so audacious as to attack the library at this time?"

"That's true. To openly show disrespect at this critical juncture would be foolish, wouldn't it?"

"Oh no, I just remembered I haven't returned the books yet! And now the library is closed due to an accident, and the return date is almost here!"

"Speaking of which, why choose any other place to bomb? The library is the most important building after the palace. Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's retaliation?"

"The library is the face of Kalos Sri Lanka, containing almost all the world's knowledge. Attacking the library is an insult to us!"

"I remember that it also contains many precious books collected by Master Roland when he was young. If these are affected, Master Roland will probably be furious."

"If you ask me, with such a big commotion, some people are probably going to suffer a lot."

"Hey, stop talking now, look, Master Roland is here!"

"They arrived so quickly?!"

"What? Where is he? Where is Master Roland?"

"Hey, in the sky."

At this moment, Roland appeared in the air.

He frowned as he looked at the library filled with thick smoke.

Then, amidst the gasps of the crowd, he raised his hand to disperse the thick smoke and arrived at the scene of the incident.

The crowd has been evacuated, leaving only a group of city guards to cordon off the area.

"Lord of the city, you've arrived."

The head of the city guards approached Roland and began to salute.

Bypassing the team leader, Roland saw the two unconscious men on the ground.

A purple-haired girl with the assassination association's logo tattooed on the back of her neck held a black dagger coated with poison in her hand.

And a blond man lying on his back.

"Edward?"

Roland was taken aback.

He never expected to see his apprentice in such a scene.

It was still this extremely indecent posture.

Roland frowned, feeling a headache coming on.

Then look at the purple-haired girl lying on the ground to the side.

In an instant, Roland felt he understood everything.

Seeing Roland's seemingly relieved expression, the leader asked in confusion, "May I ask, Lord City Lord, are you already aware of what happened here?"

"Yes."

Roland pondered for a moment, then turned to the team leader and explained calmly, "The suspect in the explosion is this purple-haired girl."

She is a member of the Assassination Association, and she is planning a horrific attack to bomb the Royal Library.

Fortunately, my apprentice Edward discovered their plot in time, leading to a series of fierce battles.

Although they ultimately failed to prevent the explosion, they managed to control the situation, preventing the entire Royal Library from being destroyed, and even apprehended the culprit.

It was a great achievement, but unfortunately, he was seriously injured and needs to be taken for treatment immediately!

Upon receiving Roland's order, the team leader quickly raised his hand in salute.

"yes!"

The leader then instructed several city guards to carry Edward away, and then asked Roland, "Lord, what should be done with this suspect?"

Roland looked at the unconscious Cecilia and said, "She's from the Assassination Association. It's truly remarkable that she could infiltrate Carlos Sri Lanka without me noticing."

I'll take this person back to the Star Tower. You all go and inform the curator to prepare for the repairs.

"yes!"

After leaving a group of people to continue sealing off the area, the team leader left the scene with the rest of the group.

After the surroundings quieted down, Roland carefully examined the pattern on the back of Cecilia's neck.

"Thirteen black petals, and he's actually the thirteenth ranked expert in the Assassination Association. When did my foolish apprentice get targeted by someone like that?"

"However, Edward was able to trade one for one with the opponent, preventing the assassination association members from escaping from here."

"It seems Edward isn't so simple after all."

After a brief sigh, Roland grabbed Cecilia from a distance.

After placing several seals on the other party, Roland left the scene with Cecilia.

……

Inside Edward's residence, Xie Bai, unnoticed by anyone, lay weakly slumped on the floor, as if he were about to starve to death at any moment.

Just as Edward was leaving, Xie Bai got the urge to clean up the mess she had made.

Unexpectedly, after finishing cleaning, she was extremely hungry and desperately needed to eat a lot.

But Edward has not returned yet.

"Ugh... I'm so tired and hungry..."

"Why isn't Edward back yet? I'm going to starve to death if he doesn't come back soon."

Xie Bai collapsed weakly onto the floor.

After strenuous physical labor, Xie Bai's body was so weak that he was on the verge of starvation and would become the first strongman in history to die of starvation.

"I only asked him to borrow a book, how come it's taking so long?"

Xie Bai struggled to turn over.

"Seriously... if he doesn't come back soon, I'm going to make him pay."

At this moment, she was unaware of everything that was happening outside.

Roland had a good grasp of the situation; residents who lived a little further away from the library had no idea that an explosion had occurred.

Many people were kept in the dark, let alone Xie Bai, this poor man who never left his house.

"Mmm..."

Almost instinctively, Xie Bai opened the backpack interface.

【Spiritual Essence Group *1519】

[...If you're really starving, you can eat it...]

A psychic mass?

Xie Bai suddenly remembered that when he used Judgment to kill the Chaos Bishop, he had obtained a large number of spirit orbs.

Because Xie Bai's current damage output is severely excessive, she has not yet considered strengthening the Ritual Burial.

These massive amounts of spiritual matter were also preserved.

Xie Bai stared intently at the information panel of the spiritual entity.

Do we really have to eat this stuff?

Is it really okay to eat this disgusting stuff that looks like gel mixed with lime?

She tried it the first time and swore she would never eat it again.

Then he acquired Edward as his personal chef, which caused Xie Bai to almost forget about this bastard.

Xie Bai looked at the spiritual mass with a pained expression.

She never imagined that she would one day be on the verge of starving to death.

If she could, she really wouldn't want to eat this stuff.

"But if I don't eat, I'll starve to death..."

Xie Bai looked at the spiritual mass that would determine life and death, caught in a life-or-death choice.

……

"Ugh... my throat is so dry... I need water..."

Edward struggled to get out of bed.

He instinctively grabbed the warm water glass from the bedside table and took a sip.

"Phew, I'm alive again... Ouch, that hurts!"

Edward winced and clutched his back in pain.

"You're awake?"

A gentle girl with two braids sat in front of Edward.

"This is a hospital. You're covered in injuries. Don't move around too much since you've just woken up."

Then she picked up a bowl of vegetable soup and carefully blew away the steam.

"I made this soup myself. If you have difficulty moving around, let me feed you."

"Um...wait a minute, who are you...?"

Edward felt a sense of familiarity when faced with the girl's meticulous care.

When Edward saw the girl's face clearly, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Airi?!"
