Chapter 549 Wanting to Eat Swan Meat
Chapter 549 Wanting to Eat Swan Meat
Two days later, Chloe came to the counter with a strange expression, stared at her "mannequin" for a long time without saying a word.
"What's wrong, Miss Chloe?" Sean felt a little uneasy under her gaze and sat up straight. "Is there anything you need?"
He knew that since checking into the hotel, Chloe's life had never left the neighborhood—after buying some daily necessities, she would stay in her room except when she was eating and would look for restaurants outside.
This is something Sean, as a hotel owner, can be certain of.

Chloe hadn't asked Sean to do anything, and Sean thought he was just observing and hadn't done anything to offend Chloe—so where exactly had he offended this young lady?
Chloe tapped her fingers on the counter several times, questioning:
"Didn't they say the village head would come looking for me? Two days have passed, and I haven't seen him yet."
Xi Enshan chuckled and said:
"Oh dear—can I trouble you? Don't worry, I've already taken care of all the formalities for you, and the gold coin has already paid this month's insurance premium, so don't worry, Miss Chloe."
"Huh?" Chloe's brows furrowed. "You should have said so earlier. I was planning to talk to the village head about something—well, where can I find the village head?"
How could I let you go to the village head? If the village head finds out that there is a pure and lovely girl like you under his jurisdiction, I won't be able to keep you here.
Sean's face darkened:
"I'm afraid that's inappropriate. Just tell me what's wrong. I'm your headman now. If I allowed you to bypass your rank and go to the village head, wouldn't that be outrageous? Why don't you go directly to Lord Nash?"
How do you know my ultimate goal is to find the local ruler?
Chloe muttered to herself, but still put on a smiling face:
"It's not like I'm saying anything bad—what does it matter? It's just meeting the village head—we live in the same neighborhood—the same 'village,' we'll meet again someday, won't we?"
"Rules are rules." Sean stood up from the armchair behind the counter, his presence and height both overwhelming Chloe. "The rule is that whatever you want to do, you must get my, the head of the department's, approval."
No, what are you trying to do?
Chloe ignored him and continued to ask:
"So, only the head of the Jia family can go to the head of the Bao family?"
There was no response to this question, as if Captain Sean, who was usually very responsive, had been angered.
Sean stared at Chloe for a while, finally noticing the evasive look in her eyes—actually, it was just Chloe getting creeped out of her sight and instinctively avoiding him—but he still felt that he had overwhelmed Chloe in terms of presence, so he walked steadily out from behind the counter, step by step to the hotel entrance, and slammed the double doors shut.
"Hey, Captain, what's going on—"
Click!
The sound of the lock clicking shut was clearly audible.
Sean suddenly turned around, pulled a double-barreled shotgun from his pocket, and pointed it at Chloe:
"Miss Chloe, I didn't want this to happen. But you insisted on meeting with the village head. Now, go back to your room. This is the village head's order!"
"Fuck you." Chloe felt an urge to rub her forehead.
Now she understands—Sean ultimately followed his desires and wanted to turn her into his captive.
"Did I break any rules, my captain?" Chloe raised an eyebrow.
Sean snorted, took a step forward, and pointed the dark muzzle of his gun at Chloe's forehead.
"I told you to leave, but you didn't—that's Lanqiao. Your rules, as the head of the village, are the rules!"
Chloe let out a "whoosh" and stepped forward calmly, facing the gun barrel, without any panic.
One step, two steps.
"What are you doing? Hey, get back to your room right now! That's an order!"
Sean had never imagined that a double-barreled shotgun powerful enough to kill a bull wouldn't elicit even the slightest bit of panic from a naive young girl. Watching Chloe slowly approach, he instinctively took a half-step back.
"What do you want to do? I'm going to shoot! I really am going to shoot!"
Thump.
A crisp sound rang out, and Sean immediately felt a force, neither too strong nor too weak, travel along the barrel of the gun to his wrist.
Chloe defiantly pressed her forehead against the muzzle of the gun and took another step forward:
"Are you bragging to me?"
"Come on, now, shoot me, kill me."
"I'll count to three, three, two—"
Before she could finish counting, Chloe grabbed the barrel, snatched the shotgun from her hand, turned it around, and aimed it at Captain Sean's chest:
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it! Huh? I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it!"
Sean had no idea that his gun could be so easily taken away by someone who was pointing a gun at him.
He broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to lower his hands, but too ashamed to raise them above his head and surrender to the seemingly helpless girl.
The slight trembling of his hands had already betrayed his inner fear, but Sean still stubbornly insisted:
"No, no, no, Miss Chloe, put the gun down—you, you must obey Captain Jia—"
"Fuck your mother!"
boom!
Chloe didn't waste any words with him and fired directly. With a deafening roar of gunpowder, Sean's right foot was immediately turned into a bloody mess.
Chloe slowly holstered her double-barreled shotgun, leisurely squatted down, and said calmly in Sean's ear, who was panting heavily and gasping for breath in pain:
"Have you learned it? If anyone ignores your threats like I have, just shoot them first."
"Now, can you tell me if it's really true that only the head of the Jia family can meet with the head of the Bao family?"
"Village head—Village head, he's at the 'Other Shore Dance Hall,' right? Ugh, go find him, go find him!" Sean rolled around on the ground, a foul stench soaking his lower garments, and a pale yellow liquid gradually spread across the floor.
Chloe scoffed, patted him on the shoulder, and tossed the double-barreled shotgun at him.
"You can't do that either. You've probably never fired a gun more than a few times in your life, right? Next time you point a gun at someone, remember to keep your hand steady."
"It's not a fatal wound, figure out how to bandage it yourself."
With that, Chloe stood up and flung open the hotel door.
A number of passersby who had been drawn by the gunshots were already standing outside the door.
Seeing the large pool of blood inside the hotel, watching Captain Sean writhing and screaming in pain, and seeing the seemingly calm and innocent young girl walking out the door, everyone subconsciously took a half step back, feeling that the scene before them was indescribably eerie.
Chloe looked around and chuckled:
"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you. The shotgun just discharged accidentally. If anyone is kind enough to help this captain call a doctor, please do."
"And if anyone could tell me where the 'Other Shore' dance hall is, that would be wonderful."

Chapter 550?
Two blocks away, the "Other Shore Dance Hall" has three floors.
A seductive, ambiguous sound, accompanied by sobs, came from the deepest room—but this could not stop the violent banging on the door, interrupting the village head's pleasure:
"Village head! Village head! A girl I don't know insists on seeing you right now—"
"Make her wait in line!" an impatient voice came from inside the room. "Doesn't she know? I never buy cheap stuff delivered to my door."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard his underlings outside shout in a panic:
"Hey, hey, hey, small package, didn't you hear me? The village head doesn't have time for you right now—"
Bang!
Chloe ignored them, lifted her foot to open the door, and frowned as she looked at the two bodies writhing together on the bed:
"What if it were someone like me? Would I have the honor of taking up a little of your time?"
The village head turned to look at Chloe, and instantly, the impatient expression that was about to erupt into a smile:
"Of course, of course—this—Miss? Welcome to the team."
He seemed to have completely forgotten what he had just said, and like a weasel eyeing a chick, he bared his yellow teeth at Chloe.
The younger brother, who had originally intended to stop Chloe from disturbing him, understood the situation and immediately closed the door, letting the room lights return to their ambiguous state.
The village headman named Ronia wriggled his naked body, making room for the large bed.
He patted the edge of the bed and said smugly to Chloe:
"Young lady, what brings you here? Don't be in such a hurry. Come here, we can talk slowly."
"Alright, let's talk." Chloe pulled up a chair without saying a word, sat down, and adopted a businesslike attitude—seemingly unaware that the village head's invitation was to go to bed with her.
After waiting a few seconds, seeing that Chloe didn't move at all, and gazing at her exquisite face, Ronia felt a strange surge of lust rising within him:
"Woman, are you trying to get my attention?"
He climbed off the sobbing girl on the bed, swaggering over to display his "masculinity," and walked towards Chloe:
"Being unconventional doesn't work on me."
Chloe blinked:
"I suggest you find something to cover it up; I get annoyed just seeing that thing—"
"Still being stubborn?" Village Chief Ronia smiled wickedly, grabbing Chloe's wrist. "Another one of those girls who thinks she's superior just because she's white. The people of Lanqiao don't fall for that. Whoever you are, if you're asking me for a favor, you're asking me for a favor—"
Chloe was pulled up by a tremendous force and ran a few steps toward his arms.
Just as Ronia lowered his head, intending to kiss the girl's moist lips, his hand suddenly felt lighter—the girl suddenly and nimbly pulled her wrist out of his palm and nimbly circled behind him.
"You really should calm down." A cold, slightly mocking voice sounded from behind Ronia. Immediately afterwards, he felt the girl's soft little hand climb up his lower back.
"Joy".
A sound like a pig squealing rang out without warning, but it wasn't over yet.
Her slender fingers touched Ronia's lower back again:
"Mmm, woo-woo, oh oh oh oh~"
So·.
"Oh oh oh oh~ No, no, no more—oh oh oh oh!"
Chloe only stopped when Ronia staggered forward and knelt on the ground, pulling up a new chair to sit down.
"You've calmed down? Can we talk now?"
Ronia finally recovered, looked at Chloe in horror, rolled over, clutched her lower back, and almost cried out:
"Whatever you need, it's easy to arrange, easy to arrange!"
Chloe gently covered her nose and pulled over a bed sheet:
"Cover yourself up. I've said it before, seeing you like this makes me annoyed."
Ronia nodded vigorously, finally becoming obedient.
"Oh my god, this is killing me!" The village head wrapped himself in a bed sheet, stood up with a limp, and slumped weakly into a chair. "Can't you just talk properly? I—sigh."
"I gave you a chance," Chloe sneered.
Chloe didn't care about the love-hate relationship between the village headman and the girl in his bed; she simply crossed her legs, deliberately letting him see the two strangely shaped gun holsters at her waist.
"I'd like to know, what exactly can you do as the village head?"
"Make these people under my command work for me." After what happened, Ronia was so tired that he could barely keep his eyelids open.
But he still honestly answered Chloe's question:
"I am—I am the highest-ranking official in this area. All I need to do is pay the tax collectors a sufficient amount each month, and whatever I do after that, no one will care, because it's within my authority—"
With money, you can do anything; isn't that just being a local tyrant?
Although tax revenue was guaranteed, the fact that even a city was divided into so many small, fully autonomous areas was even worse than the feudal system in the Kingdom of Rune. Chloe nodded, determined to abolish this system that hindered her from effectively implementing her policies once she gained control of the area.
But before that, you must first meet the ruler of this place.
Chloe then continued to ask:
Have you ever met the Nash family?
9
"Of course." Ronia took a few heavy breaths before saying, "As the village head, I have enough status to attend the celebrations held by Lord Nash and others, so of course I have met them."
"How much do you know about them?" Chloe pressed.
Ronia dared not refuse, and, dragging his weary spirit, replied:
"The Nash family are the guardians of both the living and the dead in Lanbridge. They reside in the central area of the cemetery, where there is a castle belonging to the Nash family."
"Moreover—their personal guard is extremely powerful, fully armed, and their assistants in upholding the law—anyone who violates the most basic rules will inevitably be confronted by the personal guard, and most likely killed on the spot!"
Chloe made a judgment in her mind based on her ordinary understanding, but she also knew that this city lord must have some connection with the extraordinary.
Chief Ronia was probably just an ordinary person who hadn't yet stepped into the realm of the extraordinary.
So, one last question—
Chloe composed herself and asked:
"So, how does one become a village head?"
