Chapter - 5414

At this moment, he saw several burly men being stopped.

Philip recognized them as Lance’s men. He had shared some beast meat with them in the beast forest back then.

Just like Lance, his men were friendly and kind-hearted people. They were generally much older than him, but they were outspoken and lacked the arrogance of most officials.

The man who was stopped was Jax Lore.

“Hey, don’t just stand there! Come over here!”

The people from the Spada Guild beckoned to lax and asked them to go through the check.

Jax was not happy about it, but he knew they could not mess with the Spada Guild.

“I see, it’s the Spada Guild. How may I help you?” Although Jax was angry, he had no choice but to greet them with a smile.

They seemed like internal members, so lax had to be courteous. Although he was an official, he was not highly valued, so he was inferior to the other party.

“Cut the crap and just come over as I ordered,” the member of the Spada Guild snapped.

Seeing this, Jax scowled.

They went too far. The man in front of him was weaker than him. Showing him courtesy was respectful enough. However, the other party still acted so arrogantly, which humiliated Jax. Nonetheless, he dared not go against their powerful influence and simply followed him to the side of the city gates.

A young man sat in a gazebo next to the city gates, drinking tea leisurely.

Jax was horrified to see this distinguished figure here.

“Oh, it’s Mr. Harris James. I didn’t know you’d be here. Please excuse me… I’m Jax Lore, an official…”

Jax felt a lot of pressure but also felt fortunate to be in this person’s presence.

Harris James was rarely seen in public, so Jax wanted to create a good impression during this rare encounter. However, Harris raised his hand and interrupted Jax’s flattery.

“Oh, I’ve seen you before,” Harris said reluctantly in response.

“May I know why you stopped us?” Jax said respectfully, afraid of offending Harris.

Staring at Jax as if the other party was an idiot, Harris sneered.

“Someone in this city has offended someone he can’t afford to mess with. I’m looking for that person now,” Harris took a sip of tea and said coldly.

Hearing this, Jax trembled. Although he did not know who that person was, they were doomed to have offended the Spada Guild.

The Spada Guild had always been vindictive. Offending them was no different from committing suicide.

All the officials had been reminded repeatedly not to mess with anyone from the Spada Guild.
