Chapter 1401: How About You Guys Come Out?

Back on Rean's side, he was happy to see Falangia with her daughter and couldn't help but think, 'I wonder how it would have been if Qia and I had started a family back in the Zasfin Planet.' Though, thinking of that just made him miss the girl even more. However, Rean's thoughts didn't travel for long.
That's because his Divine Sense immediately caught something abnormal with Falangia's daughter, which made his expression go dark in an instant. 'Falangia wasn't kidding when she said that even kids weren't spared.' His Divine Sense was able to check Falangia's daughter's entire body, and with his healing skills, Rean got very used to the general anatomy of most humanoid races, not only humans. 'She isn't a virgin anymore...'
Suddenly, Rean noticed a bunch of cultivators, females and males, making their way to the area where Falangia lived. Some of them would enter other houses while others would keep moving forward. Ultimately, a few of them stopped by Falangia's house while the rest continued forward.
Rean used his Divine Sense in the first few houses those people entered and soon found out that they seemed to be charging taxes. The people in the houses were very afraid and didn't dare to not pay whatever was asked of them. 'Are these guys part of the city guards or something like that? I thought this place didn't have such a thing.'
Falangia's concealing formation was a very simple one, capable of keeping out Divine Senses of at most Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators. The leaders of that group were all in the Nascent Soul Realm, so they were able to see through it and find Falangia inside.
The men and women then barged into Falangia's house without care, saying, "This is Big Boss Gaius' tax collection. One woman and one kid, the tax is half a Rank One Divine Stone."
Falangia was taken aback by that, asking in response, "What? Who the hell are you? What happened with Vincent?" At this moment, Falangia's daughter hid behind her, obviously afraid. It was easy to tell that it wasn't the first time such a thing had happened, judging by the kid's expression.
The guy in the front smiled in response. "We are Big Boss Gaius' subordinates. He has taken control of this Yulital District, and everyone has to pay if they want to continue living here. As for Vincent, he's already dead."
But even with that, Falangia shook her head. "Half a Rank One Divine Stone? Are you crazy? How many people do you even think would have it in a place like this?"
The man laughed in response, saying, "Hahaha! You would be surprised to see how many things half-dead people like you try to hide. In any case, you have two choices, pay or receive the consequences. However, there is naturally more than one way to pay, if you know what I mean." His expression was way too obvious for Falangia. Not that she wanted to comply, but not only were they in bigger numbers, the man speaking was in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. She had absolutely no chance of resisting.
Falangia then sighed before she nodded, saying, "Fine, I just have to serve all of you, right? Then, so be it..."
She was just about to take her clothes when suddenly, the man shook his head as he replied, "You're very good, and you can definitely serve my friends here. However, I want the kid."
"What?!" Falangia was taken aback and immediately pulled her daughter behind as she cursed back, "Come and try to see if I don't kill you."
The man snorted in response and immediately moved. He was way too fast for Falangia due to the difference in cultivation. Nevertheless, she gritted her teeth and tried to counter-attack. As for the guy's subordinates, they just laughed, knowing that Falangia couldn't possibly do anything against him.
"Big Boss Gaius also likes kids, so he'll probably enjoy this one as well."
"She's done for."
"What an idiot."
Falangia's counter-attack missed before the man hit her chest, sending her flying against the wall.
*Bang!*
*Cough, cough...*
She immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground while looking at the man. The guy had already grabbed her daughter, who knew way too well what was going to happen. She had experienced it before, and that definitely wasn't a cheerful memory.
However, it was at this moment that a ball of light suddenly appeared in the middle of the room. Naturally, it caught everyone's attention.
"What is that?"
"Light Element?"
"Seems like it."
"Who is using Yang Energy to control Light Element?"
"I can't see anything with my Divine Sense..."
That small ball of light then began to change its form, ultimately transforming into a fairy. If Roan was here, he would have identified the fairy straight away. She was just an exact copy of Rana, obviously Rean and Roan's sister. Of course, it wasn't Rana, just Light Element shaped like her.
That wasn't all. Everyone in the room then noticed that they couldn't move their bodies. Out of nowhere, a strong Divine Energy pressure locked them from all sides. They couldn't even talk.
The fairy then made her way to Falangia's daughter and smiled, asking, "Hello, cute one. I'm called Rana. What's your name?"
Even Falangia didn't know what was happening. Of course, she did remember Rean's Light Element power, but didn't he leave already?
The little girl then noticed that the man had taken his hand off her and was now standing there, doing nothing. "I'm-I'm Rafatia."
"Oh! Not only are you very cute, but you have a very cute name as well. Your mommy has very good taste," the fairy said in response. "Alright, because you're very cute, your big sister Rana will help you today. Why don't you go to your mother's side? Leave the big bad men and women to me."
The fairy then touched Rafatia's forehead, sending some gentle Light Element inside. It wasn't enough to cause arousal like Rean usually did for fun. It was just enough to make Rafatia feel comfortable and calm. "A-Alright."
Rana then looked at the men and women in the room and said, "Now then. How about you guys come out?"
