The summer sun blazed down like a raging fire, casting a relentless heat over the Salted Fish Territory, which appeared somewhat listless under the oppressive warmth. Meanwhile, Lord John had not arrived as expected; instead, a messenger from the capital had reached this territory first.
As the messenger dismounted, he did not hide his disdain for the Salted Fish Territory. "Hmph, so this is the so-called Salted Fish Territory? What a rundown place! I really can’t understand what the Second Prince sees in you," he scoffed, shaking his head dismissively.
Annie stood to the side, a surge of anger rising within her upon hearing his words. However, she knew that he was a dignitary sent from the capital and that it would be unwise to offend him. Suppressing her displeasure, she spoke softly, "Esteemed messenger, our Lord John is currently not in the territory. If you have a message to convey, you may inform me directly."
Upon hearing this, the messenger turned to Annie. As his gaze fell upon her delicate features and graceful figure, a lewd glint flashed in his eyes. He grinned lecherously and said, "No rush, no rush! Hahaha! Since Baron John isn’t here, we might as well have a good chat."
Annie noticed the messenger's lascivious stare, and her expression darkened instantly. She snapped back, "Please keep your distance! My husband John may not be here, but the Salted Fish Territory is not a place for you to provoke at will!" Despite her reluctance to stir up trouble, she would not yield to such an insufferable man. She was well aware that there were sixty Transcendent beings backing her in her territory, and this formidable strength gave her boundless courage and confidence.
The messenger from the capital was oblivious to the underlying tensions. He stepped forward aggressively, exuding an overwhelming pressure that felt suffocating. With this surge of power, his own Transcendent abilities erupted like a dam bursting forth; light flickered around him as onlookers turned their heads in surprise.
He opened his mouth and shouted menacingly, "Hmph! You ignorant woman! Do you not know who I am? Let me tell you—I am Will Smith, renowned Weir Smith! My father is an Epic-level powerhouse! If I take a liking to you, even your husband must obediently clean you up like a gift and present you to me beautifully!"
Faced with such arrogance and insolence, Annie felt anger boiling within her. Yet she understood that engaging with such a spoiled brat would only worsen matters. Thus, she forced down her fury and coldly replied, "Please keep your distance!" Without hesitation, she turned away and prepared to leave.
However, the oblivious Will Smith showed no signs of backing down; instead, he stubbornly reached out with his greasy hand in an attempt to grab Annie and prevent her from leaving. At that moment, the territory's overseer could no longer stand by idly. With a furious roar, he transformed dramatically before their eyes into a massive werewolf with bulging muscles and bristling fur.
The overseer swung his powerful arms like a whirlwind and struck Will Smith's outstretched hand with tremendous force. A sharp crack echoed as Will Smith let out a pained scream, stumbling backward several steps before barely regaining his footing.
"Messenger! Please show some restraint! This lady is our esteemed Lord's wife; your rudeness is unacceptable!" The overseer warned sternly after reverting to human form.
At that moment, Will Smith became even more arrogant and unyielding. In his proud and narrow-minded gaze, no matter how powerful this Barony appeared to be, it was ultimately just a small Barony in his eyes.
