Chapter 165: Who’s the Boss Here?

Chapter 165: Who's the Boss Here?

Xiao Hua stood quietly in place, waiting for people to rush forward, her expression cool as a cucumber, even giving General Wang a provocative smile.

General Wang was furious. He was a petty man who got lucky and climbed the ranks, and Xiao Hua's attitude easily provoked him.

He quickly waved his hand, and the surrounding guards swarmed in, powers flying all over the place.

Xiao Hua suddenly covered her mouth in surprise and melodramatically shouted, "The military is attacking civilians!"

Then she quickly gathered her powers and lunged at her surroundings, striking without holding back.

In an instant, except for Xiao Hua and her sweetheart boyfriend Bai Mu, no one within a mile radius was left standing intact; they were all frozen solid into ice sculptures.

As for those water-based enhanced individuals who were forced to come like her, they were either lying or sitting due to their powers being drained, all escaping unscathed.

Of course, even if there were any standing upright, Xiao Hua would have perfectly avoided them, making sure not to harm any innocent bystanders.

General Wang and his subordinates were all frozen, their faces twisted in agony, each in a different pose, like a bizarre art exhibit of human ice sculptures.

Because of Xiao Hua's sudden shout, the guards stationed outside the reservoir were alerted, and they quickly summoned General Zou and several other high-ranking officials from the base.

At the sight of the scene, General Zou couldn't help but gasp, "Damn... this feels so good."

Serves you right, you little brat, for showing off and messing with the wrong person.

General Zou admired Xiao Hua's temperament of being ready to throw down at the drop of a hat.

He secretly relished the moment for a few seconds in his heart, then quickly put on a serious face and strode to the scene.

"What happened?"

His gaze turned to Xiao Hua. He still had to keep up appearances; the signature style of freezing an entire area was unmistakably Xiao Hua's.

Xiao Hua turned her head and saw General Zou, her mind racing to come up with the right words.

Bai Mu stepped forward directly, saluted General Zou with a standard military salute, and handed him a phone.

General Zou looked puzzled.

Bai Mu smiled slightly, appearing calm and collected, "The phone happened to have power, so I recorded the entire incident."

General Zou's eyelids twitched. This kid's got some guts.

He still wore a serious and righteous expression, turning to the other high-ranking officials who had come with him, "Since that's the case, let's all take a look together."

Being seasoned veterans, the high-ranking officials naturally saw that General Zou wanted to drag them into this, but since they were already here, they had no choice but to tough it out.

The group gathered together to watch Bai Mu's recording.

"Hello everyone, I'm General Wang..."

As soon as she heard the first sentence, Xiao Hua realized that Bai Mu had recorded everything from start to finish.

Sure enough, the following scenes showed General Wang forcing the enhanced individuals to exhaust their powers, disregarding their physical recovery.

Finally, it was his inexplicable flying into a rage at Xiao Hua, ordering people to take action only to be frozen in return.

It wasn't entirely out of the blue, after all, Xiao Hua's expression was genuinely provocative.

But Bai Mu had picked a perfect angle, capturing the entire process without recording Xiao Hua's expression.

So, after watching the video, General Zou and the others concluded that General Wang had brought this upon himself.

Enhanced individuals are naturally high-spirited, and yet he dared to humiliate them like this. The high-ranking officials couldn't help but recall Ji Yang from the past.

Looking at General Wang, who was still intact, they deeply believed that Xiao Hua's temper had actually improved.

She just froze them, didn't even go chopping off arms or legs, isn't that enough?

The high-ranking officials exchanged glances, the truth was already clear, but one of them still coughed lightly and asked the other water-type enhanced individuals.

"Is the video telling the truth?"

"Not just that!" A female enhanced individual glared fiercely at General Wang, "This jerk even dared to take advantage of us, the bastard!"

"Yes, he touched my butt." "Is our tofu something this kind of person can eat?" One by one, the enhanced individuals were outraged.

The high-ranking officials: "..."

He didn't dare ask further, fearing that General Wang would directly provoke the crowd's anger and be killed by these enhanced individuals.

At that point, the law wouldn't touch the crowd, and with the video clearly here, as long as they had any shame, they'd have to let General Wang be torn apart.

Then they would have to bear the wrath from the capital, not worth it, no way.

They exchanged glances, clearly on the same page, so they dragged General Zou into smoothing things over.

General Zou, pretending to calm the enhanced individuals' anger, announced they'd take items from General Wang's private stash as compensation, and he himself would add some more.

General Wang's opinion didn't matter, as he was frozen and couldn't speak.

After making General Wang pay through the nose, General Zou finally remembered and quickly urged Xiao Hua to lift the freeze.

By then, the group had been frozen for over an hour.

Xiao Hua acted all understanding and polite, obediently lifted the freeze, and even walked up to General Zou to offer a formal apology.

"Sorry, General, for the offense."

The high-ranking officials: See, see, isn't she so understanding? General Wang was just looking for trouble.

But actually, Xiao Hua turned slightly, and from an angle they couldn't see, her lips silently moved.

General Wang's face turned green and purple, extremely angry.

What Xiao Hua said was:

Who do you think you are, teaching me?
