Chapter 973 Conflict

"Guys, what's the matter? I've already registered for today's performance, and all the procedures are complete."

Facing a group of thirty people, Sheikh Zubair was neither humble nor overbearing, but he did not want to cause trouble.

Large-scale performances like this and activities involving enclosures must be reported to the Ordinary Council in advance.

So he had already reported this matter a month ago and had the relationship go through the process.

Right now, even a group of thirty people can't find anything wrong with their theater.

As soon as he said this, the leading mercenary couldn't help but glance at him.

"No, that's not what we came here for today."

"Ah? Then what is the cause of all this fanfare?"

"The Order recently lost a batch of important goods. There is news that the thieves hid it in the back lot of the Zubair Theater Company. We are here to investigate the matter."

The mercenary showed the approval document from the Order Council, which confirmed the matter.

Hearing this, Sheikh Zubair's face turned pale.

"That..."

He looked around and saw so many spectators, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

"Then please ask a few people to act cheaply and not make too much noise. Today is a very important performance in our theater."

There was no way, the other party had complete procedures, and even Sheikh Zubair had no excuse to stop these mercenaries.

But facing his request, the mercenaries didn't seem to care.

They're just a bunch of actors, there's nothing they can give in to.

"Then I can't tell, so lead the way."

The mercenary glanced at his companion.

In an instant, a large number of mercenaries surrounded the outside of the isolation zone.

The audience a little further away from the stage looked at this scene and had no idea what was going on. There was a faint commotion.

Sheikh Zubair quickly stepped forward to comfort him and briefly explained the situation, thus preventing the commotion from aggravating further.

"You come with us."

The mercenary's tone was a bit bossy.

But at this juncture, Zubair did not dare to conflict with him head-on, so he could only do as he was told.

More than a dozen people entered the back of the Zubair stage from the side.

As soon as they appeared, the dancers backstage who were waiting to perform on stage were startled.

Most of the staff in the theater are women, and there are all dancers with makeup on. They suddenly look extremely weak when faced with the thirty-man group of mercenaries holding weapons.

Moreover, these mercenaries were not decent people. As soon as they met, there were several men in their thirties who looked directly at a few lightly dressed and revealing dancers.

The look in his eyes was as revealing as if he wanted to take off the other person's clothes.

But the situation was such that the dancers could only turn slightly sideways and did not dare to make a sound.

Seeing this, Zubair could only endure it.

Of course, if these mercenaries go too far, they can report it to the disciplinary officials.

But just looking at it is not enough to report it.

One of the more daring dancers walked up to Zubair and asked what was going on.

"It's nothing. The Holy Orders need to check something. You just need to take care of the performance first."

Although he didn't have any confidence in his heart, he was the only person in charge in the background at this time, so he couldn't let his timidity slip away.

"Guys, you can find something if you want, just don't interfere with our performance."

Zubair led the mercenaries past the dancers who were about to take the stage and walked deeper.

He was really worried about letting these rough guys stay in the same room with the graceful dancers again. If something happened next, he would be really guilty.

Fortunately, these mercenaries didn't dare to go too far and just glanced at them a few times.

It is equivalent to buying a front row close ticket for free.

"This is our warehouse... Nilu, why are you here?"

Zubair led everyone to the back of the theater, only to find Nelu arranging the vase.

Because she was the last dancer to perform, Nilu still had more than an hour to go on stage. According to common sense, she should rest outside the venue now. Sheikh Zubair did not expect to meet her here.

"Ah...Mr. Zubair, I'm cleaning, you go first."

Nilu couldn't help but tremble when she saw so many mercenaries pouring in along with Zubair.

She quickly stood up and lowered her head to leave the warehouse.

But just as she passed the mercenaries, the leading mercenary suddenly spoke.

"No need, you can stay here for now."

As soon as these words came out, Sheikh Zubair immediately looked panicked.

What are these mercenaries planning to do, to harass civilian women?

But when he glanced across the eyes of the mercenary who spoke out, he didn't find even a hint of lust or evil in them. Instead, they were all business-like and serious.

Seeing this, Zubair's panic did not disappear at all. Instead, he slowly sank to the bottom of the sea like a stone.

Shouldn't...

"Eh? I...did I make any mistake?"

Nilu still didn't know what happened, she was stunned on the spot.

The headdress symbolizing the Goddess of Flowers swayed slightly with her forehead.

"Something has been lost in the Order, and I need your cooperation in the inspection."

The mercenary glanced at his companions behind him, who suddenly became convinced and surrounded the warehouse.

Seeing this, Sheikh Zubair quickly stepped forward.

"Here... adults, our child will have a performance later. Can you let her go out first and wait until we come back after the performance is over?"

As he spoke, Zubair's attitude toward the mercenaries had softened a lot, and he even expressed some pleading.

But the mercenary only glanced at him and refused.

"No, she is in the warehouse now. We will talk about it after our investigation is completed. You guys, please count out everything here. Remember, be more careful and check one by one."

"Yes, sir!"

Several mercenaries filed out from behind the man.

His words made Zubair even more nervous.

There are so many things in this warehouse, how long will it take to check them out?

Moreover, the other party also deliberately emphasized that they should investigate carefully and slowly. This is simply taking advantage of today to come and cause trouble.

Coupled with the previous rumors related to Samuel, Sheikh Zubailton felt a little bad.

It's not like the Ecclesiastical Council really dislikes them and wants to punish them.

The goods in the warehouse were unpacked one by one. The mercenaries were very... meticulous when working, but in Zubair's opinion, there was some delay.

A full ten minutes have passed, and now these people have only checked two items. It took them a long time to complete all the checks.

No, he has to do something.

Sheikh Zubair gritted his teeth, walked up to the mercenaries and threatened them.

"Our theater has an obligation to assist the thirty-member group in handling the case, but you also have an obligation to allow our performance to proceed normally, otherwise it will interfere with our normal work order."

"What, you still want to report us?"
