Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang looked up at the wall, and he saw the guards part so that someone else could step forward.

It was a woman with brown hair, fully clad in an impressive set of silver armor.

Shang's instincts immediately told him that he couldn't fight her.

She felt about as powerful as that one spider he had seen on his travels to the Southern Wild.

Shang immediately knew that she was in the Second Realm, the General Stage, and he also knew that she was the one in charge.

"I've already given the order to investigate everything," she proclaimed. "It will only take around two hours."

When Shang heard that it would only take two hours, his suspicion towards the leading guard increased even more.

The leading guard turned to the officer and saluted with a professional expression. "Thank you, my lady," he said.

The officer looked at the leading guard with a suspicious expression. "Why haven't you given the order earlier?" she asked.

"Reporting to my lady, I have been busy with handling the suspicious individual. I wasn't able to give the order earlier," the leading guard explained.

The officer only looked at the leading guard with a suspicious expression.

"It has recently come to my attention that your living conditions are quite ostentatious for someone of your position," she commented.

"My lady, I have already informed the treasury investigators about the sizable farm my brother owns. The treasury department has already verified all the gold he has sent me and its origins."

"Additionally, my lady, I would humbly request that you don't bring up my personal life in front of my squad," the leading guard added.

The officer narrowed her eyes.

"I will keep that in mind," she said.

Shang immediately noticed some things.

First of all, the officer was rather young. She was probably in her early twenties.

Second of all, she didn't hide her suspicion and hostility while talking to the leading guard.

Third, the leading guard had correctly highlighted the issue of talking about this in public. Superiors were not supposed to humiliate their staff in front of others.

With these clues, Shang got the picture.

The officer knew that the leading guard was doing underhanded business, and she wanted to punish him for it.

However, the leading guard was perfectly covering his tracks, not leaving any opening, which frustrated the officer.

Due to her inexperience, her frustration got the better of her, and she wanted to punish the leading guard via a different method.

However, the leading guard managed to turn things around to make her lose face in front of all her soldiers.
