Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 413: Ghana\'s and City Lord\'s confrontation.

Ghana looked back without fear. Her posture was straight, with her wings folded before her.

Leader Fu felt the alienation in her eyes and was momentarily startled. In the past, although she wasn\'t receptive, there was always a servile attitude in her movements.

However, that had changed. Ghana was looking at him as if he weren\'t her superior. His eyes became stormy, and he used a coercive aura to pressure Ghana. "Why did you enter with that woman? With your presence as a witness, we could extort them of more resources! Not to mention, you didn\'t give us an advantage when explaining the situation!"

Ghana internally shook her head. \'Does he still not understand, or is he pretending, thinking I won\'t have the courage to step forward?\'

Ghana smiled with an indifferent tone. "Sorry, City Lord, their Matriarch told me to enter so I couldn\'t say no. If I were to deny her after her insistence, she might have become unhappy."

Fu Liang didn\'t buy it and snorted. "So what? They may be powerful. However, I don\'t believe they have the guts to really do something! Didn\'t they end up giving us very generous compensation? Why would they do so if they weren\'t afraid of us?"

Ghana sighed and looked at her with disapproval. "Fu Liang."

The woman interrupted. "It\'s miss First Secretary for you, Ghana."

Ghana shook her head and looked at Leader Fu. "Fu Hao, I\'m willing to explain some things on the account that although your intentions were clear, you didn\'t overstep your boundaries and never physically molested me."

They both were surprised when Ghana called him by his full name. "The Matriarch of the Astral Sky Clan is not simple. They are not afraid of spending wealth to deal with bothersome matters. However, one of their members didn\'t even hesitate to attack a Nine Sect Elder right before your son, Fu Yu."

Their hearts trembled in an instant. Fu Hao asked aloud. "Why didn\'t I receive-"

"You did." Interrupted Ghana.

"When did I receive-?" He paused and looked to the side.

Fu Liang maintained her calm but was internally nervous. Intending to lower Ghana\'s position even further, she had previously destroyed Ghana\'s reports.

One of the reports wrote all the details, but when she rewrote it to gain merit, she skipped this part because she thought it would upset Fu Hao to know that Fu Yu was slighted.

Fu Hao seemed to notice something wrong but didn\'t say anything. Ghana saw that even when Fu Liang hid something so important, he intended to let it pass.

The last warmth in her brown eyes disappeared in the wind.

Leader Fu sneered. "I didn\'t receive any reports, so expect to be demoted further Ghana."

Fu Hao continued. "Moreover, you\'ll also be punished for acting by your account in many recent situations. You don\'t know what kind of plans I have, so going against my orders for what "you thought" was best is a big mistake!"

Ghana wanted to refute, but he had a point there.

His orders were clear, and she went against them. Although her intentions were good, she had indeed not followed his orders.

However, the demotion was clearly an excessive punishment. Yet Ghana was calm when listening. She had already expected something like this.

In truth, Ghana knew what she had done when she entered the room with Yasenia would probably doom her position further.

However, after knowing a City Lord\'s clan relative was constantly suppressing her because of a minor mistake, she felt it was no longer worth working for him. This began almost two years ago after Fu Liang arrived from the main branch to get more experience.

Ghana kept working. However, one day, she forgot to retrieve some things and returned to the office. After slightly opening the City Lord\'s office door, she heard moaning sounds in the City Lord\'s room.

Ghana instantly understood many things after this. Thankfully, the pair inside seemed very invested and never discovered Ghana.

The Harpy was uncertain about her future, and the demotion to the second secretary was like placing the fuse on a time bomb. Then, today\'s conversation lit that fuse, making Ghana\'s resolve to keep working for Koran City blow to ashes.

Naturally, Yasenia\'s attitude, wit, resources, strength, and charm crossed her mind when thinking about where to go.

After Yasenia told her that she didn\'t mind her nakedness, Ghana had already decided. In truth, Yasenia\'s consequent efforts were redundant since the Harpy had already chosen to nestle under her wing.

Ghana spoke. "Leader Fu, I know my mistakes are many and grave, so I\'ve decided to resign from my secretary position."

Leader Fu and Fu Liang froze in shock on the spot. They felt that their hearing had been impaired or affected by something.

Although Fu Liang wasn\'t without skill when working as a secretary, her level was clearly many levels lower than Ghana\'s. So, their plan has always been to make Ghana Fu Liang\'s secretary and allow Fu Liang to gain recognition from the elders back at home through her while Ghana did all the work.

Fu Hao thought that today\'s events were perfect for that. However, he didn\'t expect that this bird would fly away so easily.

Fu Liang snorted and said, "You can\'t resign! What about all the secrets about the city that you know? We can\'t let it fall into the wrong hands! Moreover, your contract with us is extremely binding! You can\'t leave even if you want. You don\'t have the capital for it."

Ghana smirked and took out the contract from her spatial ring. "Miss Fu Liang, in my original contract, it was already stated that even if I stopped working for the City one day, I would never reveal any secrets to outsiders to damage the City. It was promised under oath. Therefore, you can rest assured. All the bases are covered. Moreover, even though our cooperation was a form of alliance between races, I won\'t stand here and keep being abused."

Leader Fu frowned and wanted to say more, but Ghana stated. "Mister Fu Hao, there is also a page that says I can leave if I manage to pay all the expenses the Koran City covered until now. So, if you excuse me, I\'ll leave."

After saying her piece, Ghana turned and left.

Fu Hao stood up and slammed his palms on the solid desk. "You are not allowed to leave, Ghana! I prohibit it! You can\'t pay that much money!"

Ghana snorted, but she didn\'t stop her steps. "I know. However, Matriarch Yasenia can."

Ghana opened the doors and walked outside. Fu Hao naturally wouldn\'t allow her to leave so easily, so he ran after her.

Ghana looked at him, and she flapped her wings.

With a sonic boom and extreme familiarity with the complex hallways in the City Lord\'s manor, she flew through the tall corridors to catch up with Yasenia.

Yasenia and the others were walking out of the building when they felt someone approaching quickly from behind.

They turned around and saw Ghana arriving in front of them with an abrupt stop.

Evelyn\'s eyes bounced up and down as she observed Ghana\'s chest\'s motion after stopping so abruptly.

She didn\'t have large breasts, but they had enough size for her nakedness to allow them to bounce freely and beautifully.

Yasenia just glanced once and looked up with a smile. "What\'s wrong, miss Ghana?"

Ghana smiled respectfully and was about to speak when another gale arrived before them.

They turned and saw Fu Hao standing there with a gloomy face. "Ghana, come back. I\'ll return you the First Secretary position."

"I refuse. You already know what I\'ll say." Ghana laughed and walked beside Yasenia, feeling that she would be safe by her side.

Fu Hao sneered and spoke with a mocking tone. "You are so confident that Matriarch Yasenia will want to pay the enormous liquidation damages. Do you think you can escape this easily?"

Yasenia was surprised. \'Hm? Didn\'t this happen too quickly? I should\'ve needed a few more meetings to convince someone like Ghana to my side. Did this City Lord do something stupid?\'

Ghana didn\'t want to create a bad reputation for Yasenia, so she pointed with her chin to the side. "Lady Yasenia, Mister Fu Hao, how about we go to the side and speak about it slowly? There are many eyes and ears present right now."

Yasenia didn\'t have an objection and internally laughed. \'The little bird has left the nest? That\'s good. Now, I can offer her a new house~.\'

After moving, Fu Hao was about to sit when Yasenia interrupted. "No need. This trouble can be solved with a single look at our contract."

Fu Hao paused and had a bad premonition.

Yasenia smiled and took out a copy of the contract. "Look at these lines."

Fu Hao read closely, and he didn\'t understand at first. Yasenia laughed. "Ghana is a person from a power of the Koran City, right?"

His eyes immediately widened. "Y-You tricked me!"

Yasenia snorted. "I didn\'t. The contract has been in your hand all the time. Moreover, how could I expect miss Ghana to leave your power so soon? I\'m not a Fate Master!"

Fu Hao gnashed his teeth. "Then, why do you accept-"

"Leader Fu, don\'t be silly. Why I would accept someone as talented as Ghana is natural. Missing this chance would be stupid on my part. Anyway, we are leaving now. Have a good afternoon."

Yasenia didn\'t need to show off her presence anymore around the city for the powers to notice her, so she took out a flying ship, and all of them entered it.

They were impressed by the design and architecture of the black and white flying ship. The feeling it gave was profound and unreachable. However, they didn\'t understand what it was.

Flying ships are an advanced technology that can only be found in Medium Worlds, a low-level World like Distancia Continent isn\'t advanced enough.

Yasenia thought. \'I couldn\'t use it in the Secret Realm and wanted to investigate this Continent afoot for a while. But now, I can finally start to use my flying treasures. However, the boat will be too conspicuous in the future. Also, I should use a sword to fly around.\'

Yasenia grabbed Ghana\'s arm and jumped upward, landing on the ship whit the other girls. \'Regardless, I want to get out fast to avoid more conflict, so I\'ll use it this time.\'

Yasenia used ten Violet Crystals from the Sky Continent to fuel it and told the stunned Fu Hao. "Goodbye."

After Yasenia spoke, Fu Hao blinked, and the ship disappeared.

His face changed, and he jumped upward to look across the sky. However, there wasn\'t even a shadow of them.

\'How can they be so fast!?\'

Ghana also blinked, and the scenery had changed completely. She was shocked and looked around, only to see they were floating on top of Yasenia\'s mansion. Ghana was instantly terrified. \'Weren\'t we kilometers away from her house? Tens of kilometers in the blink of an eye!? How are they so fast!?\'

Naturally, the inside was protected, and they didn\'t feel anything as the formations absorbed the impact created by the momentum.

Yasenia kept the ship in her ring, and all of them landed on the ground right before the gates.

Ghana was repeatedly blinking, not knowing what had just happened. Yasenia chuckled and patted her head. "We\'ve arrived. Let\'s walk inside."

Ghana was dragged inside by her hand, still in shock and looking around with bewildered eyes.
