A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

They discovered that she was a girl wearing a kimono and with animal ears.

"Fox-people?"

Looking at the girl, Astraea was puzzled, and at the same time, she had her members bring Ishtar, the traitor, to her side.

“My clan members have been involved in collaborating with bandit groups outside of Orario in an attempt to kidnap people to the Night Town. I will take responsibility for this.”

"Just members of your clan?"

"Of course, I hope you don't misunderstand. Although we run 'Night Street,' we have no intention of committing any illegal or criminal acts!"

Ishtar said righteously.

Astraea did not believe it.

At this moment, the girl in his arms became more alert.

"Where am I...?"

"Orario, the labyrinth city of Orario."

"Am I... saved?!"

"Yes, you will find refuge here."

After Astraea finished speaking, she looked in the direction of the Adventurers' Guild.

"This city is now under the control of Lord Chenhai, and the misfortune you suffered will never happen again."

"Chen Hai... Your Excellency?"

"Yes."

In Astraea's view, Chen Hai might also be 'a god somewhere'.

This labyrinthine city, which once brought it misfortune, is about to usher in a new beginning.

Chapter 84 Haruhime is rescued, the fox girl repays her debt, and Orario's 'big clean-up'!

boom!

In the labyrinthine city of Orario's 'Night Town,' the employees of the Adventurers' Guild are moving various boxes out of the hidden warehouse.

These boxes contain stolen magic stones, stolen equipment, and even banned addictive drugs.

Faced with these contraband and stolen goods, the Adventurers' Guild began to register them one by one.

Their next task is to investigate the source of these items and find the culprit behind them.

The 'Ishtar Familia,' which is responsible for operating and managing this street, is very cooperative.

"I've brought over the recent transaction list; there should be some useful information in it."

Ishtar handed over a scroll that recorded the time of the transaction and the specific goods.

After taking it, Astraea looked at it.

Some of the goods were clearly not right.

For example, if goods that should be refrigerated are placed directly in a regular warehouse, it proves that there must be something wrong with the goods.

Did you conduct any investigation from the beginning?

"The merchants who rented our warehouse said that their goods would be difficult to seal once opened and would easily spoil, so we did not investigate thoroughly."

"If that's the case, you need to bear some responsibility."

"Of course, any punishment is acceptable."

Ishtar gave a reply quite quickly.

This response surprised Astraea once again.

She had assumed that Ishtar, who was in charge here, would choose to rebel or fight for the interests of her 'partners'.

The results of it?

Very cooperative...

After handing the scroll to the Adventurers' Guild staff, Astraea turned to the other side.

Including the fox-girl, there were a total of seven girls transported to Orario.

Human trafficking must be prohibited.

Therefore, Astrea decided to focus on the aforementioned work and handed over the investigation of the contraband to her family members and a few employees.

As she walked to the carriage, Astraea looked at the fox-girl sitting inside.

How were you brought here?

“I don’t know either… Ever since I was captured by those thieves, I’ve been locked in a closed cage and have no idea what’s happening outside.”

"Besides you, do you know anyone else?"

Shake his head.

The fox-girl took a sip of water from her cup and looked out at the sky.

"My name is Sanjou Haruhime. I was born in the Far East and came here by chance after being kicked out of my home... What do I need to do next?"

“Don’t worry, Sanjono, you are safe here and don’t need to do anything special; if I had to say, I would like you to help us catch those thieves who kidnap people.”

"Well... I'm not quite sure, but I remember seeing a tall tower when I was outside before I came here."

"A tower? Orario's Tower of Babel?"

"No, no, it's an outer tower. Half of its top has collapsed, and it's very dilapidated. The thieves used it as a temporary stronghold."

Having received this information, Astraea decided to investigate it further.

"Whoa! We caught him! We caught a shady businessman hiding in the warehouse!"

"This guy specializes in buying stolen magic stones! He's even trying to evade this search!"

"Tie his hands and feet! Don't let him escape!"

Hearing the commotion, Astraea walked over in that direction.

As she passed by Ishtar, she noticed that Ishtar was staring at Sanjou Haruhime.

Do you know that child?

When asked that question, Ishtar snapped out of her daze.

She shook the pipe in her hand.

“In the past, I would have needed to get to know her, but after last night, there is no need.”

"what……"

Astraea looked puzzled.

Only Ishtar herself knows the truth.

After spending time with Chen Hai last night and understanding his strength, Ishtar decided to change her plans.

She chose to sever ties with Haruhime Sanjou, since she had not yet reached a final deal with the bandits who had kidnapped Haruhime.

After that, Ishtar plans to lead her clan to establish a good relationship with the dungeon lord who currently controls 'Orario'.

With Chen Hai's help, I believe we can easily crush Freya and Loki's familia!

However, the biggest problem right now is...

Ishtar's seduction had no effect on Chen Hai.

On the contrary, Ishtar was given a severe 'lesson'.

If it weren't for the 'body of a god,' I'd probably still be in pain all over my body by now.

From this, Ishtar concluded that Orario's 'Emperor of the Night' is still quite powerful!

Half an hour passed after Operation Astrea began...

Chen Hai's office now has three more visitors.

One was Eina, who led the way; she left quickly.

The two were Astraea, who had come along, and... Sanjou Haruhime.

Chen Hai, who recognized the third person, gestured for the two to sit down.

"The reason I've come is to explain the results of this operation to Lord Chenhai, and also..."

Astraea, who spoke first, raised her hand and introduced the fox-girl beside her.

"She is Haruhime Sanjou. She came with two reasons: first, to express her gratitude to Lord Tatsumi on behalf of the rescued person; and second, to explain her ordeal so that Lord Tatsumi can determine his future plans."

Astraea is very efficient in this regard.

Chen Hai was very satisfied with this.

When I'm away, I can leave the management of Orario entirely to Astrea.

After all, the goddess of 'justice and order' is a deity who speaks of reason and fairness.

"Chu, nice to meet you for the first time... Mr. Chen Hai."

Somewhat nervous, Haruhime Sanjou greeted them.

After speaking, the fox-girl, with her head down, kept glancing at Chen Hai from time to time, as if observing some rare animal...

Chen Hai, sensing something subtle, made the girl raise her head.

"Don't be nervous, Ms. Sanjou, I'm not a man-eating demon."

"I... I didn't think that way."

"That's good."

"I'm here on everyone's behalf to thank you for your decision; if it weren't for Mr. Chen Hai's order to clean up 'Night Street,' we would probably have been sold to an even more terrifying organization long ago..."

"It's good that you're alright now. Let's move on to the next topic. Do you know where those thieves who kidnapped you are?"

"I can't be completely sure, I just have some impression of the 'Broken Tower' that they used as a temporary base."

"Then let's take advantage of this opportunity to deal with the criminals in Orario as well."

? ?

Chen Hai's sudden answer left Sanjou Haruhime and Astrea completely baffled, unsure of what he meant by 'taking advantage of the situation to deal with the criminals now'.

literal meaning?

Should we just eliminate all the criminals now?

Astraea couldn't help but ask curiously

"Could it be that Lord Chenhai had this plan all along?"

"No, it's only available now."

After saying this, Chen Hai asked the goddess and the fox-girl to accompany him to the balcony.

He looked at the sun-drenched streets of Orario and said coldly.

"The weather is great today, perfect for clearing away the 'darkness'."

Chapter 85: The Divine Punishment of Chenhai = Thanos's Snap?! A Thousand People Burned to Ashes!

Ding!

The system notification sounded again.

Chenhai's level also increased accordingly.
