Chapter 184: Bullying the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors
What kind of person is Old Blue? A kind person? No, definitely not. He has dirty his hands countless times since he came into this world.

Logically speaking, Miss Justice should be given face, and there is no need to make things awkward, but this is the first photo that Klein took personally, and also the first photo that Old Blue took of Klein. Their significance is definitely not something that can be exchanged for "face."

Not to mention that the camera cannot capture people far away, even if it does, it should be an honor for the person in the photo.

"Go report to your Earl Hall and tell him that it was done by Old Blue from the Storm Church. This matter has nothing to do with you. Ha, even if I say so, I probably won't see you again in the future." Old Blue had a smile on his face.

Klein suddenly felt that this usually kind and gentle old man suddenly became impressive and majestic... Only then did he suddenly realize that Old Blue was not a gentle Beyonder, but a "Raging Man" known for his irritability and rage! He couldn't help but want to cover his face, because Old Blue was too calm in front of him and the others...

[“No, I prove that the old man is qualified to be furious…”]

“Madam, please go back. We didn’t mean to take a picture of your master. It was just the lighting when my elders and I took a picture.” Seeing that Old Blue was determined, Klein immediately gave her a way out.

……

"Yes, I saw the film being destroyed with my own eyes, there is absolutely no mistake." The maid who had just questioned Old Blue reported to Miss Audrey's personal maid Anne.

"That's the best," Anne nodded, looking at the owner who was choosing a dress in the clothing store and said, "We must protect Miss Audrey's privacy and avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"Yes." The maid replied with her head lowered.

The big golden retriever next to him tilted his head, showed a confused look, barked, and began to wag his tail.

……

"Klein, you are a good and polite child. You also know how to respect others. Even if it is a maid, you are willing to call her Madam. This is very good. You keep your attitude low enough. Only in this way can you see a more comprehensive world." After walking out of the department store, Old Blue said to Klein who was walking beside him, carrying a bag containing a camera:

“But you respected her, but she didn’t respect you enough.

"You respect the relationship between people. I can feel that you really treat every 'person' equally. This is really rare..."

Klein's expression was natural. The concept of "equality for all" has long been popular in the modern society of the Great Foodie Empire. It would be a bit awkward for him to treat others as servants. He nodded and said:

"Mr. Blue, I can see that you have the same qualities. You showed respect when you looked at that servant and that waiter..."

Old Bruce laughed:
"Perhaps this is the tradition of our 'place of origin'... Come to think of it, the people of the 'Aurora Society' also preach that 'everything has divinity', which is also a disguised form of 'everyone is equal'."

Huh? Klein was shocked. Aurora would be ahead of the times? Uh, but there are too many crazy people.

"We respect her, but she brought up the rules among the nobility and the social hierarchy. Then we will follow the rules she recognizes. Haha, you will find out later that she has no right to talk to us like this."

Klein wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. What he read from Old Blue's words was not sarcasm, but... pity? It was a bit like what a great writer on Earth said: pity their misfortune and anger at their lack of struggle. At this moment, he once again felt that Old Blue did have the same origin as himself... Such emotions, without understanding the social system, are simply impossible to talk about!

"In this era, sometimes tolerance does not earn respect, but is instead called cowardice.

"Many people lack something that humans are born with... awe." "Heh, guess what the maid will do when she goes back?" Old Blue led Klein along the street, chatting, and had no intention of stopping a horse-drawn carriage.

"Ah? Report to Earl Hall, and then let Earl Hall take revenge... Uh, that's simply impossible..." Klein finally understood. A maid... After all, she was a maid. She didn't dare to tell Old Blue what he said... If she really told him, what awaited her was not a reward, but a catastrophe - incompetent, poor vision, and dared to use her master's prestige to provoke others? Who allowed her to represent the Hall family?

"So, the maid would... keep it secret? In other words, it's equivalent to the fact that this incident never happened..." Klein came to such an ironic conclusion. It's not hard to imagine. In fact, this kind of atmosphere is very common in the workplace on Earth. If you make a mistake and can conceal it... why report it to your superiors? Ask for a fine or dismissal?
“Yes, and no.” Old Blue seized the opportunity and turned into a dark alley. He continued to move forward and said to Klein who was following closely behind him:

"In the Storm system, well, in fact, not just Storm, in many tightly organized large forces, when some lower-level or even middle-level Beyonders encounter problems or make mistakes, their first reaction is to suppress them and not let their 'superiors' know. Then they will find other ways to solve them, not so normal ways."

Klein immediately understood what the abnormal method meant because he just noticed that several men and women dressed as bodyguards followed him into the alley!
Haha... the corners of his mouth curled up. The stalking on the street could be explained by passers-by, but now... the remaining pity for the maid in his heart disappeared. Old Blue's fishing enforcement... was too skillful!

What a coincidence, the end of this alley was blocked and there were some miscellaneous items piled nearby.

Old Blue stopped and said to Klein beside him with a smile, "Give me the things you bought. You can take action later. Hmm, maybe there is a Beyonder? Don't use a kitchen knife. Get some combat experience."

"Ah? There are actually extraordinary bodyguards accompanying you? As expected of the Earl family..." Klein hurriedly handed the other camera bag in his right hand and the paper bag hanging on his arm to Old Blue, then unbuttoned his formal suit and quickly checked the herbs and essential oils in his inner pockets. Uh, these don't seem to be useful? It's not like I'm going to kill the other party's psychic... But it's just right for close combat! Klein raised the "rapier cane" in his left hand, looking forward to the arrival of the person.

Ta-da, a series of not-so-hurry footsteps were heard. There were four people in the group, led by a woman in her thirties who was wearing clothes similar to knight's clothes, a waist-hugging white shirt on the upper body, and black trousers on the lower body. She had an exquisite holster hanging around her waist, revealing the handle of a black pistol without any cover, which showed that she had a license to use all kinds of weapons and was not afraid of police inspection at all.

Rebecca said impatiently to the old man and the young man who had their backs to them:
"You are not nobles. If you hand over the negatives honestly, you will suffer less. If you want to blame someone, just blame yourself for taking the photos at the wrong time and place."

Click, click. The three male bodyguards behind her each took out their revolvers, opened the safety, and pointed the guns at the young man, because it seemed that the old man did not intend to resist.

"Interesting, are you going to kill us?" There was no panic in Old Bruce's tone. He deliberately did not turn his head away because he was afraid that this face that appeared in major newspapers would be recognized... It would be bad if the other party was scared away.

"It depends on your attitude. If you cooperate well enough, it would be ok to only break your hands and feet..." The female bodyguard took out a coin from her pocket and threw it in the direction of the young man. It fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

“I see… The Sequence 7 Briber, Earl Hall really loves his daughter very much…”

"What..." The female bodyguard was suddenly shocked. The other party could actually call out her sequence in an instant! Something is wrong! Very wrong! "Shoot! Shoot!"

Swish!

Suddenly a breeze blew in the alley, blowing lightly across the guns held by the bodyguards. The breeze became sharp and formed transparent wind blades, which instantly turned the guns into waste like cutting tofu.

"Ah! Ghost!" "Run!"

Boom!
A heavy object suddenly fell not far behind the bodyguards, making a loud noise and blocking their retreat!
They were horrified and carefully identified that the heavy object was actually a big sword! A big sword like a door panel! It was dark red and radiated high temperature, as if warning everyone not to get close... An old and majestic voice sounded:

"Don't leave. Now, come one by one and serve as your sparring partner."

When the briber Rebecca saw the old man twisting his body and revealing a familiar face, her clothes on the back were instantly soaked with cold sweat:
"Old…Old Blue? Storm?"
