Bai E's response undoubtedly instilled the highest confidence in every Thorn City official present.
The officials who had only heard scattered rumors gradually pieced together the origins of this esteemed figure who had come to aid them.
A portly man squeezed his way next to Bai E, cautiously asking, "May I ask, my lord, are you the City Lord of Blackwater City, Bai E?"
"Yes."
"I knew it!" The man was overjoyed. "I heard from the delegates returning from the championship that the leader who led his warriors to claim the regional championship for Blackwater City was none other than you, my lord. It was also under your sharp eyes that those Bugs disguised as warriors from Eternal Night City were exposed. To think that the aid arriving for our city would turn out to be you, my lord! It's truly Thorn City's blessing! May I ask how long you plan to stay here and whether you have any special requirements for daily living? We would gladly arrange for a palace to be built for you."
