"Mrs. Caroline, we are just going through the motions. Please don't meddle in our business."
A trace of fear flashed across the guard's face.
The patrol guards in the outer city also knew about the flower shop that Viscount Pompey had specifically asked for. If it was not necessary, they did not want to offend Viscount Pompey.
Connie didn't know the relationship between Mrs. Caroline and Viscount Pompey, so she didn't want to implicate Mrs. Caroline and just shook her head silently.
The two guards looked at each other and knew that they couldn't drag on any longer.
"Alright, disperse!"
One guard dispersed the passers-by, while another guard held a sword and prepared to escort the three people away.
At this time, the coachman tied the carriage to the lamppost and walked over quickly.
He found something was wrong, and Miss Connie seemed to be in trouble. Then he thought of what his boss, Mr. Jack, had told him.
"Miss Connie."
The driver came to Connie and quietly handed her a silver badge.
"Mr. Jack said to use this when you get into trouble."
Connie took it and immediately looked delighted.
"What are you guys talking about secretly?!"
The guard scolded.
Connie sneered and shoved the silver badge into the guard's face.
"Are you sure you want to arrest us?"
“?!”
The two guards were stunned.
The silver badge in front of them had a family crest engraved on it, with the words "Pompeii Bruvis" written below it. They would recognize it, as it was the identity mark of Viscount Pompeii.
No one dared to impersonate the local nobles in Amber City because it was too easy to be exposed and caught.
The fact that he could produce the family crest of Viscount Pompey showed that he had a close relationship with him.
The two guards felt a tightness in their hearts, and immediately knew that something bad was going to happen.
"Aha! So you guys know Lord Viscount Pompey... Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
The guard wiped his sweat with a smile.
"I'm so sorry, we made a mistake... Okay, you guys can go now."
"You derelict bastards!"
Mrs. Caroline saw what was going on and she blamed him angrily.
Poor Connie had just lost her father and followed Jack to the inner city, where life must have been unhappy. Now she was back in the outer city and was being exploited by the guards. She really didn't deserve such an injustice.
"I will definitely write a letter to the police station! Let you two scums suffer a little!"
Mrs. Calory scolded.
The two guards were a little annoyed, but they could do nothing about it. If they really got into a fight, they would be the ones who would suffer. After all, if they reported the incident to the police station and alerted Viscount Pompey, their immediate superior would definitely punish them.
So the two guards apologized and quickly left.
Mrs. Caroline was still swearing behind them, and Connie went forward to comfort her.
"Miss, thank you so much for your help."
Su Keying thanked her.
Connie turned her head, looked at the man and woman, and smiled.
"It's just a small favor..."
Polaris suddenly thought of the "Jack Manor" the girl mentioned, and associated it with the ruthless man in Emerald Town who was wanted by the Red Apple Church and was also named "Jack".
Is there any connection between the two
Polaris calmly cast "Detect" on Connie.

Comment: You don't want to know what kind of weapons she carries, because when you see them, you're already dead! Warm reminder, her boss is not simple...
Polaris was shocked. She didn't expect that this seemingly harmless girl was so strong.
The orange danger level indicates that she is not easy to mess with.
As for the boss behind her as described in the reviews, is he really that ruthless person? If so, maybe this is a great opportunity!
“—Su Keying, this girl is an opportunity! Hold on to this thigh, maybe there will be a surprise!”
A short message came from Polaris.
Su Keying was slightly stunned, then looked at the North Star and nodded slightly to show that she understood.
"Miss, we are from the countryside... We are unfamiliar with the place and want to find a job to make a living... Excuse me, is the 'Jack Manor' you mentioned still short of people
Don't worry, we don't need wages, as long as we have a place to eat and live!"
Su Keying said to Connie pitifully.
These were the words Polaris told her in private.
Connie looked embarrassed. Although she wanted to help the two young men and women, she didn't think she could make the decision for Mr. Jack.
"Oh, so little Jack has established himself in the inner city?"
Mrs. Caroline asked.
"Yes, Mrs. Caroline... Mr. Jack has purchased a large manor and is now providing family tutoring for Miss Rebecca, the daughter of Viscount Pompey."
Connie seemed very proud when she spoke of Mr. Jack.
She briefly talked about what happened after she arrived in the inner city. Mrs. Caroline sighed repeatedly that little Jack was not an ordinary person and would definitely make a name for himself in the future.
Mrs. Caroline remembered something and was silent for a while, then smiled and invited Connie to sit in the flower shop. Even Polaris and Su Keying were invited.
Connie felt a little embarrassed for a moment as she thought about the fact that she still had to deliver a letter for Mr. Jack.
"Come on Connie, just come in and have a cup of tea... I missed you guys so much when you left."
Faced with Mrs. Caroline's kind invitation, Connie finally nodded.
She glanced at Polaris and Su Keying and said with a smile:
"Then follow me first. I still need to ask Mr. Jack about the work, so I can't give you an answer for now... But Mr. Jack is a kind and upright gentleman, I think he will help you."
Polaris and Su Keying were both overjoyed.
Everyone entered the flower shop and sat down, and Mrs. Caroline made a cup of floral tea for them.
"Wait a minute, Connie..."
Mrs. Caroline whispered.
Then she left the flower shop and went up the side corridor.
Polaris took a sip of scented tea and suddenly received a text message.
"—Friend Polaris, I am a centaur. We have found an opportunity in the outer city's lower water area. There is an underground force called the 'Iron Fist Gang' here. There are many benefits. Come quickly.
Let me tell you a secret, the boss here, Mr. Dolly, is an extraordinary person!"
Polaris was slightly startled, turned to look at Su Keying, and found that she also had a surprised expression, and it seemed that she had also received the message from the centaur.
"—how's that going? Are we going?"
Su Keying asked.
Polaris frowned slightly, he didn't want to miss the opportunity at hand.
"—wait a moment."
The three centaurs represent two large guilds respectively. It is impossible for them to get any benefits for no reason. When the time comes, they will probably have to pay some price for it.
If it was before, Polaris might have gone, but now that he met Connie, he had a choice. This kind of opportunity that you find yourself is the best.
After a while, Mrs. Caroline came down with two letters.
She handed one of them to Connie.
"Connie, please help me give this letter to little Jack and ask him to pass it on to Mr. Pompey... and also tell him that I don't blame him. Henry has always regarded him as his best friend."
Connie shook the letter in her hand and found that there seemed to be a metal object inside.
"Yes, Mrs. Caroline."
Mrs. Caroline let out a breath, as if releasing years of pent-up anger.
She smiled, raised another letter in her hand, and looked at the three young men.
"Don't worry, I will definitely report the two guards who made things difficult for you!"
Connie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she also felt the warmth.
She thanked him, drank the tea in the cup, and stood up to leave.
At this moment, Polaris and Su Keying suddenly received a task reminder—
Trigger D-level mission: Save Connie!
