Chapter 398: Stop Daydreaming, Accept Reality

Yao Ran raised an eyebrow at the man's words and retorted, "What exactly has the Ji family done to protect the central district? I recall that we and the soldiers defended this district before, and now the Xu, Mu, and Hua families are holding the outer district."

"This is the first time I have heard about the Ji family. Where are they now, and what have they contributed to this community to justify demanding security fees from us?"

Hearing this, the men hesitated, unable to respond to her pointed questions. Their leader, realizing they couldn't win a verbal battle, opened his palm and summoned a ball of flames.

He looked at Yao Ran and spoke with a threatening tone, "Young lady, just obediently pay the security fees, or else—"

Before he finished speaking, Long Yu snapped his fingers, used his wind element energy to control the oxygen in the air, and extinguished the flames in a second.

Surprised, the leader tried summoning his fire again, but each time, it vanished immediately. After countless failed attempts, the leader turned to Yao Ran and the others, fear clear in his eyes.

He pointed at Yao Ran and asked, "What did you do to me? Why can't I use my ability?" Yao Ran shrugged lazily. "How should I know? Maybe that is all you are capable of." The other men, seeing their leader rendered powerless, exchanged confused looks.

Meanwhile, some villa owners cautiously approached Yao Ran and her group, standing on their side with some distance between them.

Noticing their small movements, Yao Ran ignored them and said to the leader, "Tell your master that I won't pay anything to the Ji family. If they continue to harass me and my family, don't blame us for being rude."

When the group didn't immediately leave, Shi Xuan waved his hand, using his space ability to twist the space around the leader's finger.

Crack!

"Ah!"

The leader screamed in pain as his pinky broke. His face paled as he glared at them before speaking through gritted teeth, "I will report this to the Ji family."

With those words, he left with his subordinates. As they disappeared, the villa owners collectively sighed in relief.

A woman in her thirties, dressed in an expensive winter coat, glared at Yao Ran and said, "Young lady, since you are so capable, you should protect us. Why do you only come after we have all suffered from those people? Are you doing this to show off your strength to us?"

Yao Ran's expression darkened when she heard that woman's words. Sneering, she asked, "Why should I protect you?"

The woman, taken aback by her question, stammered, "Isn't your responsibility to protect the weak?"
