Chapter 973


    Mia said icily, "Are you sober now?"


    Louisa covered her stinging face and stared at Mia in disbelief. "You dared to hit me. Don''t you know who I am?" As a Yellow Inder, she had never experienced such humiliation before.


    Mia rubbed her wrist. "I know who you are. But regardless of your identity, anyone causing trouble at the research institute will face the same consequences."


    Louisa''s voice sharpened. "You''re finished. I won''t let you off the hook. I''ll have you captured, tortured, and yed alive. You won''t beg for life, but you''ll beg for death."


    Despite her threats, it was all in vain. Every bodyguard she had brought with her had been defeated and rendered immobile.


    Mia turned to Peyton and instructed, "Take her and her bodyguards to the police station. Also, make copies of the building''s surveince footage. "Inform the authorities that these individuals from Yellow Ind have instigated a disturbance at the research institute, perpetrated assault, and intentionally injured others."


    Louisa remained defiant. "You dare toy a hand on me? Have you considered the consequences?


    "I am the esteemed guest invited by Mr. Shelbert. If you send me to the police, someone wille looking for you immediately. Do you think you can escape the consequences?"


    "Esteemed guest invited by Mr. Shelbert?" Mia narrowed her eyes.


    Nord City''s stance on Yellow Ind had long been ambiguous. Suddenly, Raymond extended invitations to individuals from Yellow Ind. She couldn''t help but wonder if he was attempting to gain favor with Yellow Ind.


    Louisa remarked, "Hmph, feeling intimidated yet? Even Mr. Shelbert shows me respect.


    "A civilian like you dare to call the police on me and send me to jail. Do you really think he''ll let you off? To him, dealing with someone like you is as easy as squashing an ant."


    Mia calmly retorted, "Even if he''s the mayor, he''s still bound by thews of Nord City."


    Louisa looked haughty and acted superior. She retorted, "You''re in denial about yourmoner status!


    "Thew might be a saving grace for folks like you, but for us nobles, it''s as flimsy as tissue paper. Let me spel it out for you. Thew exists to keep people like you in line."


    Mia smirked. "Do you even know that Mr. Shelbert just enacted reforms to strengthen Nord City''s legal system? Shouldn''t you be worried about being proven wrong?"


    "Any policies he enacts to refine thew are just to polish his image. He''s not doing it for your benefit. Don''t kid yourself. Laws are merely tools used by the wealthy to maniptemoners like you," Louisa retorted.


    "So, does that mean there are nows on Yellow Ind?" Mia asked.


    Mia''s lips curled with contempt. "But didn''t the Yellow Ind governor recently make peace statements in the global news? He imed they''ve modernized and moved beyond feudal rule."


    Mia''s smile widened. "With Yellow Ind''s sizable poption, you keep harping on about noble lineage. So, what''s your actual status?"
