Seeing the big hand covered with thick calluses grabbing towards her like an eagle's claw, Lily was immediately frightened. She held her head, closed her eyes and shouted for help.
Just when she thought she was going to die again, she found that she didn't feel any pain at all.
Lily, who was squatting on the spot, slowly opened her eyes, but was surprised to see the old man standing not far away, looking at her palm with a serious expression.
Before Lily could react to what was going on, a shrill whistle sounded.
Several sheriffs in black uniforms not far away rushed towards this side while blowing whistles.
"You! Stop! Haven't you heard of the law on Hope Island that prohibits attacking rats? Tell me your name and home address!"
Facing the sheriff's questioning, the old man stood there and ignored it, still staring at Lily with a serious expression.
"I'm talking to you! Do you hear me?"
A sheriff reached out and patted the old man on the shoulder. With a "click", his five fingers twisted into circles in various directions.
"Ah!!" the sheriff screamed while holding his twisted severed hand.
When the other two people standing behind him saw this scene, their faces changed instantly. They immediately pulled out the blue fireworks hanging at their waists and pulled them hard towards their heads.
"Swish~Bang!" A dazzling blue firework instantly exploded under the greenhouse.
Blue represents abnormality, indicating that there are special and very difficult enemies here.
With the constant sound of brakes, all nearby police cars had blocked all exits, and the entire street was quickly cleared.
Cameras and guns from all directions were pointed directly at the old man in front of Lily.
"This is the Hope Island Police Station. Put all your belongings and weapons on the ground and raise your hands high!" A sheriff holding a loud speaker stood behind the car window and yelled at the old man.
Lily was shaking with fear at this moment. Although the scattered mice had gathered around her again, she did not dare to move in front of the old man.
The old man looked at Lily deeply, then slowly put his hand down and turned to look at the sheriff holding the megaphone. "I'm Julio, where is your Governor Charles?"
As soon as the name was heard, whispers suddenly broke out in the surrounding houses. They were all the islanders who were hiding.
"Julio? Why does this name sound so familiar?"
"Don't you remember him? He is the governor who owns the largest island in the entire Earth Sea!"
"Yes, he was the one who fought Governor Swan's giant mechanical Lonka alone!"
When they learned the other party's true identity, the momentum of both sides suddenly reversed. Although the other party only had one person, in this situation, the side with more people was obviously at a disadvantage.
In this situation, such a powerful being suddenly appeared on Hope Island. What on earth was he going to do?
“Swish~Pah!”
“Swish~Pah!”
“Swish~Pah!”
"Dang dang dang~!" A shrill attack alarm sounded over the entire island. Upon hearing this sound, all the islanders returned to their homes as soon as possible and hoped that all the armed forces on the island would assemble immediately.
Looking at the gun muzzles emerging from the windows and rooftops, Julio showed a trace of disdain in his eyes. "Is this how the Governor of Hope Island entertains guests from afar?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Julio, the governor is not here. Please come back at another time." Deputy Director Alia walked out of the crowd with a serious expression.
"Come back at another time? Do you know how long it took me to get from Cat Island to your northernmost island? You want me to come back at another time?" Julio's voice began to sound a little dissatisfied.
After hearing this, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard all around. If this kind of existence really took action, then most of the people present today would not survive.
At this moment, Leonardo, the administrative minister of Hope Island, walked up with a smile on his face.
"Master Julio, please go to the best hotel in Hope Island to rest for a while. I will inform the Governor by telegram as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Julio glanced at the mouse on the ground again, then stomped his feet and jumped directly towards the Governor's Palace.
"Since Charles is not here, I will wait in his Governor's Mansion. I will return it to him when he comes back."
Looking at the quickly receding figure, Leonardo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Alia.
"Do you know who he is? That's what you said? If he takes action here, how much trouble will it cause to the Governor and our homeland?"
Alia gave him a disgusted look. "Then your lies will work? The Governor may have already gone to the surface, where can he receive the telegram? Julio will ask you for the Governor's telegram later, what will you do?"
"This is a step, you understand? Since he hasn't taken action now, it will be even harder for him to attack next time." Leonardo pushed the eye on his nose.
"A liar is a liar." Alia turned around and jumped into a car, rushing straight to the police station. Julio was a big trouble, and she needed to discuss countermeasures with James immediately.
Leonardo shook his head helplessly and turned to rush to the Governor's Mansion. "You are all reckless and don't know how to adapt. If I hadn't been there to support Hope Island, you would have already made the island a mess."
Now that the Governor is not here, Leonardo, as the Minister of Administration, is almost half the owner of Hope Island. In order to please Julio, who has unknown intentions, he tried every possible means.
He first sent over delicious food, fine wine and beautiful women, intending to use this opportunity to test the other party's intention in visiting the governor.
But Julio ignored him and blocked them outside with both his people and their belongings.
Leonardo, sitting in the car and looking at the closed door of the Governor's Palace, felt a little relieved. The situation was not very bad. At least he seemed to be really looking for the Governor, not to occupy Hope Island.
After thinking for a while, he ordered the driver to drive to the police station. Although he had a bad relationship with James, under the current circumstances, the entire Hope Island was under the control of the two of them. In this situation, they had to put aside their past grudges and get through the difficulties first.
Since Governor Anna has given me this task, I must not mess this up.
Julio walked in the deserted Governor's Palace, going from room to room. His pupils glowed slightly red, as if he was using some special ability.
He checked very carefully, even every toilet, and he drew the curtains wherever he went.
