Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman Chapter 345 - The Aftermath of the Battle

Chapter 345: The Aftermath of the Battle

“T-They’re too terrifying…” It was the first time that the leader of America witnessed the strength of the Peacekeepers, and he was naturally quite overwhelmed.

The other people from America weren’t doing much better themselves, still not being able to catch their breaths from the scene that seemed straight out of a movie.

“All of them were killed in an instant…” Someone muttered dazedly behind the leader, looking at the carnage that had unfolded in the zoo.

Other than some of the animals that weren’t affected by the miasma, most of the other animals were there, but now such a large army of animals was defeated in mere moments by the Peacekeepers, with the majority of the mutated animals beaten up so badly that they couldn’t cause any further harm while a few of them were killed.

If they hadn’t seen this with their own eyes, they would have never believed it!

But now, they’re own experiences became irrefutable evidence that what they saw was true.

“They’ve become even stronger than before…” Cecily inhaled deeply, trying to calm herself down, before she then turned to the leader and said, “Quick, dispatch some people to deal with the zoo. Qiao Qiao doesn’t like to deal with the aftermath.”

As taken aback as he was, the leader quickly turned around and made a call.

“See that? That was the full strength of Miss Gu’s subordinates!” Yi Tong turned around and said to the people who wanted to help out earlier, “Now you know that you wouldn’t have been able to help in the slightest, and that they are the only ones that could have done anything!”

The people who wanted to go to help earlier all looked down in the direction of the zoo in idolization and excitement. Even though the scene below was violent and b.l.o.o.d.y, all it did was make them even more motivated than ever before! How could they be as strong as the Peacekeepers?

Cecil saw that they were all excited from what they saw, so he looked at them and said, “Back when we were in the ranking battles, the team that she led was far more brutal than this one! They held back quite a lot, I can say, and you should have seen their battles against mythical beasts in the last two days of the ranking battles! Every time you see them, you think that they must be at their limit and that they couldn’t become any stronger, but they always do!”

Why did he sound regretful?! Was this scene not enough for Young Master Cecil?

They turned their heads stiffly and looked at Cecil, who had already moved his gaze back towards the zoo calmly. Suddenly, they remembered that Cecil was someone that was in the top twenty rankings of the ranking battles! Someone like that did not need to deceive them.

Therefore, what he said was true, and this wasn’t the extent of the power of the Peacekeepers!

After these people realized this, they all gasped in disbelief. Were they not strong enough already? Did they want to be strong enough to fight against the heavens themselves?!

“Don’t give me that reaction.” Cecil glanced at them, before pointing at the h.e.l.lish scene below with a solemn expression. “Did you think that they became so strong just by eating and drinking? Look at this scene, and think! If you knew that you would die if you went down there, would you still go? Are these Peacekeepers strong? They are! But as strong as they are, they still seek to become even stronger no matter the cost! See that guy? He’s called s.h.i.+ Qin, and remember how he didn’t ask Miss Gu for help even though he was on the brink of collapse? He wanted to seek to break through his limits in extreme situations!”

After he said this, everyone lowered their heads in thought. No matter Cecil still locked himself up in the legacy base even though he was so strong, he must have been stimulated by these people!

Upon thinking of this, their gazes all turned resolute and determined. If the Peacekeepers could do it, why couldn’t they?

The leader of America couldn’t help but sigh upon seeing this change in these youngsters. Miss Gu hadn’t said anything yet and she already had such a positive influence on them, and he could venture a guess that she had such an effect on everyone she came across, and then he thought of how much Cecily and Cecil idolized her…

“Why was Miss Gu not born in our country?” Why was the ancient martial arts world so lucky?

After the Peacekeepers finished dealing with the mutated animals, they all started chatting and joking with each other just like regular teenagers, and who would think that these youngsters could destroy a city if they so wished?

Gu Xiqiao walked together with Xiao Yun, and upon seeing a gash on the latter’s arm, she sighed softly and took out a bottle of medicine for her to apply on her wound before she said towards all of the Peacekeepers, “All of our training and battlers are for you guys to become stronger. The great calamity is going to come soon, and I don’t want any of you to be sacrificed in battle. The Peacekeepers are a team, and we won’t leave anyone behind, got it?”

Gu Xiqiao’s voice could only be heard by the Peacekeepers, and no one else other than Jiang Shuxuan could hear what she said.

The Peacekeepers couldn’t help but be affected by these words—Even though they’ve only been in the Peacekeepers for less than four months, they’ve trained together and gone through life and death with each other, and had already pa.s.sed the point where they treated each other like family. It was true that if any one of them pa.s.sed away, it would cause the others great pain!

Therefore, they needed to become even stronger!

With a few sentences, Gu Xiqiao riled up the hearts of everyone in the Peacekeepers and gave them great motivation!

Alang snapped out of his daze before he looked over at Jiang Shuxuan with a bitter smile. He had been warned not to harbor any ill intentions towards them the day before, but who would have the courage to do so when the Peacekeepers were this strong?

Honestly, he doubted whether Gu Xiqiao and the Peacekeepers truly needed him in their team.

He had been confident in his abilities, proud even, but now all of that pride was shattered. As strong as they were, would he even make a difference if he joined them?

If someone told the past him that he would one day feel inferior because his abilities were too weak, they would probably be returned with a smack in the face. The ability to raise anyone’s talent by three times wasn’t strong enough? Why would he ever be self-conscious?

Now, he even questioned whether he could increase the abilities of the Peacekeepers threefold.

Meanwhile, the people from the Bai gang were still in a daze from what they saw.

Their faces paled and their hands trembled, and even though they knew that the Peacekeepers were strong, but it was only now that they realized that what they saw in their group chats was just the tip of the iceberg.

They all couldn’t help but shout when they saw the Peacekeepers defeat an elephant the size of a truck!

This was the true power of the Peacekeepers!

Boss Bai’s hands trembled as he took a short video and sent it into their group chat.

[Headquarters]

American Branch: [Video]

American Branch: Just watch and see.

Not one minute later, the group chat was filled with messages by the other members, wanting him to talk about the details of what had happened earlier.

Boss Bai put down his phone and looked back towards Gu Xiqiao. How would he have the time to tell them what had happened when all he wanted to do now was idolize these people?

“Cecy, have some people clean this place up, okay?” Gu Xiqiao took out a pure white handkerchief and wiped her hands before looking at Cecily.

Cecily nodded. “I’m already on it.”

Gu Xiqiao didn’t say anything further, and as she was about to make her way to Jiang Shuxuan, Nozawa spoke up, “Gu-san, is it true, what you said about j.a.pan?”

“Why don’t you call your leader and find out?” Gu Xiqiao smiled and raised her eyebrows before walking towards Jiang Shuxuan.

Nozawa stood there with his eyebrows locked in worry.

He tried to do that, but the line didn’t go through no matter how many times he called, and he couldn’t help the uneasiness in his heart as he looked at the wreckage left behind in the zoo.

“Nozawa, lemme give you some tips.” Cecily smiled and whispered almost conspiratorially. “Gather up as many antiques as you can from your country and gift them to her, and all your problems will be solved.”

Nozawa seemed to be quite dubious at this suggestion. Was she sure that what she was talking about were antiques and not treasures and artifacts?

“Relax, it’s just one of her few interests,” Cecily said, before walking away.

The leader of America muttered in question, “Why did you give him that advice?”

“I want Qiao Qiao to teach them a lesson, of course.” Cecily flipped her hair nonchalantly. “I don’t want those pig heads coming here and talking you into doing some other suicide plan any time soon, after all.”

Could she not talk about that anymore? The leader felt as if his dark history had been brought up one time too many. “But in any case, do you think she would be able to teach the entirety of the j.a.panese supernatural world a lesson? That doesn’t sound very doable…”

Gu Xiqiao was very strong, yes, but it wasn’t easy to fight against an entire country at once nonetheless.

“j.a.pan?” Cecily scoffed. “Has she ever failed in anything she set out to do? Was the d.i.c.kens family strong? Would you be able to do as well as she did and not cause any trouble, even in your position? Did you forget how she changed the leader of England? No one can stop her if she wants to change things up!”

As he listened to what she said, the leader of America had a sudden thought—If he continued to follow along with their plans, would he have been dethroned by now and replaced with Cecily?

It was scary enough that someone was so insanely strong, but pair it with an unparalleled intellect and you’ve got a terrifying force to be reckoned with. “How do you have such a good relations.h.i.+p with Miss Gu, anyway?”

It was true that almost everyone was still calling Gu Xiqiao ‘Miss Gu’, and there was only a small margin of people that could call her by name!

Cecily only smiled, not replying to this question.

The leader of America wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and this motion had already become a habit after he came into contact with Gu Xiqiao.

Yi Bing and the others were the ones that reacted to the entire scene the calmest, and even though they were quite taken aback by how they’ve become stronger once again, they had been following their ascent for a long time now. Yi Tong even took out his phone and recorded everything to be posted in the ancient martial arts forum.

Upon looking up, he realized that everyone was looking at Gu Xiqiao and the Peacekeepers with sparkles in their eyes, and he knew that they had already been conquered by their strength and ability.

After this battle, the name of the Peacekeepers would be spread far and wide, far surpa.s.sing the boundaries of the ancient martial arts world.

Upon thinking of this, Yi Ting tutted slightly before looking at Yi Bing. “As expected of Miss Gu and the Peace Manor, wreaking havoc and turning tables no matter where they go.”
