Chapter 324: No One Is Allowed To Leave (Part 1)

Antoni Rodriguez’s expression darkened, "That person’s behavior is very sinister and secretive. They’s probably not from any major force. Even if there is, we doesn’t need to worry about the consequences for now. If something happens, we can discuss it later. As for the reason for the searches, just come up with any excuse to get through. Even if they suspect something, they have no evidence!"

Rafael Rodriguez realized that this was indeed the only solution.

The matter of the spirit stone vein was too important.

They absolutely couldn’t let the other party leave the Disaster Zone.

Otherwise, those spirit stones would be lost forever.

"If I find out who it is, I’ll definitely skin them alive!" Hernán Rodriguez seethed with anger.

Not just him, if they found out it was Amalia, the entire Rodriguez family would probably want to skin her alive.

The spirit stones that she stolen weren’t just spirit stones that would be use for cultivation after it was refined into spirit beads; but they were also the brilliant future of the Rodriguez family.

The exit of the Sour Lemon City Disaster Zone was suddenly blocked without warning, and everyone who’s wanted to leave had to undergo a search.

This rule immediately sparked backlash from the spiritual cultivators.

"Is the Rodriguez family out of their minds?"

"Why should they check our storage items?"

"They claim something important is lost, so they have the right to inspect our storage items? Does that make sense?"

"Exactly, who knows if they’re just looking for an excuse."

"The Rodriguez family is being unreasonable. I absolutely refuse to let them inspect mine."

"Yes, we refuse!"

For every spiritual cultivator, their storage items weren’t just their belongings, but also their foundation and trump card.

They couldn’t be shown to others casually.

When Amalia arrived on the last day, the exit of the Disaster Zone was bustling, with many people were stuck there.

A barrier was erected in front of the exit.

Outside the barrier stood a row of Rodriguez family members.

They were holding an artifact on their hands, and staring coldly at the noisy crowd inside the Disaster Zone.

As the strongest Tier 2 powerhouse present, Antoni Rodriguez’s imposing manner immediately made everyone feel the weight on their shoulders, and the noise subsided immediately.

"I understand that you’re all unhappy. The Rodriguez family doesn’t want to cause trouble too, but it’s a fact that someone stole something important from us. Now, that person is among you. Once we find them, everyone can leave."

As a Tier 2 powerhouse, Antoni Rodriguez’s mild attitude was already a gesture of humility, but it was clearly wishful thinking on his part, as nobody here felt appeased; instead, they grew even angrier.

"Are you kidding us? What does your Rodriguez family losing something have to do with us? Why do you have the right to detain us? Do you want to prevent us from leaving?"

A young woman stepped forward, her face contorted with anger, showing no signs of backing down despite Antoni Rodriguez’s power.

Upon hearing his father’s words, Rafael Rodriguez knew they were in trouble.

His father was confident in his status and strength, he believed that this was his greatest concession.

But these people were all innocent victims, and his words not only failed to soothe the people here but also had the opposite effect.

His worries were justified.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up.

Seeing the young woman, he felt a headache coming on, but even more headaches were to come.

Furious, Antoni Rodriguez released an even stronger pressure, "With my strength alone."

The young woman’s knees buckled under the pressure, and she dropped to her knees, her face flushing red.

"Father," Rafael Rodriguez quickly grabbed his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "this person is a relative of the Zhao family."

"It’s just a mere distant relative. Do you think I’m afraid of her?" Antoni Rodriguez snorted.

Rafael Rodriguez urged anxiously, "You may not fear her, but we cannot afford to offend the Zhao family. If this matter escalates and the Zhao family gets involved, we won’t be able to hide anything."

He hoped his father understood the seriousness of the situation.

After all, they were in the wrong one.

If they didn’t appease the situation and incited public anger, it would only escalate beyond their control.

The young woman exclaimed angrily, "The Rodriguez family is simply bullying other ls too much! Do you think you’re all the only one with the most people here? Do you think the Rodriguez family is so great? You dare to do this because you think we’re easy targets. If it were members of the Lin or Yoder families here, would you dare to touch them?"

"She’s right. The Rodriguez family dares to treat us like this because they think we’re unable to fight back. The Rodriguez family is taking advantage of our weakness!"

Outside the crowd, Amalia glanced at the young woman in surprise.

She’s quite clever, knowing she can’t confront the Rodriguez family alone, so she’s stirring up everyone’s emotions.

What she’s saying is true.

If it were members of the Lin or Yoder families here, even if Antoni Rodriguez were the strongest one here, he wouldn’t dare to act like this.

Amalia wasn’t actually afraid of being searched.

The presence of the Soltice Ring was undetectable to ordinary people.

It was like a part of her body, unlike storage items that were visibly attached to her.

She could easily use a storage item to pass the inspection without being noticed.

Rafael Rodriguez watched the increasingly uncontrollable situation and felt overwhelmed.

"Rafael, I have an idea. Why don’t we start by checking the Rodriguez family members who have completed their training? Maybe this will help calm them down a little bit," Hernán Rodriguez suddenly suggested.

Rafael Rodriguez was taken aback, "This may not be a bad idea. It may not have a big effect, but it can prevent injuries to Rodriguez family members if a fight breaks out. Let’s do it this way for now."
