Cecile muttered. "It doesn't really work if they don't want to reveal things or are stubborn, right?"

Yasenia smiled coldly. "Well, if the customer is shameless, there are other methods to make them spit whatever they want to rob."

After the woman lashed out one more time at the patient harpy, the harpy's demeanor changed, becoming denser.

The azure-feathered harpy's smile disappeared and whispered in a tone only they and high-level cultivators could hear. "Miss. I'm telling you. I know you've robbed something. I'm giving you a chance not to lose face. Will you take it?"

"And what proof do you have? I'm telling you, if you don't want this little shop to stop existing, you'll let me go!"

The harpy sneered. "Woman, do you think you can rob our Matriarch's shop? I'll give you one last chance before you lose much more than whatever you robbed. Please put it on the counter. I don't care if you don't pay for it and leave, but I want the items back."

The harpy saw the woman about to open her mouth again while maintaining a haughty expression and warned. "Think well before you answer."

The woman with reptile traits humped. "I'm the daughter of a baron from the [Holy Beast Empire]! I haven't come here from so far away to be incriminated in something I haven't done. If you dare touch me, see if you can live. My father is in this city, and your clan will suffer if you do something to me!"

Hanna frowned. "Matriarch, should we intervene? Things are escalating out of control."

Yasenia answered indifferently. "Will you be here each time this happens?"

Hanna stopped speaking.

Yasenia spoke coldly. "If she can't deal with this situation appropriately, then she can leave my clan today."

Hanna flinched as Yasenia turned her face to look at her with cold golden reptilian eyes. "I give you harpies preferential treatment, but you are not immune to punishment, Hanna."

Hanna realized her blunder and didn't ask anymore, looking from the sides. 'Girl, you better deal with this efficiently.'

After the woman spoke, the harpy laughed and answered. "Using your status on us? You should first look if you are qualified!"

The woman sneered. "Unless you are from another Empire, I want to see what kind of face you have to say that."

"Then, listen closely. Our clan is in a strong alliance with five of the Nine sects. We have deep connections with the top races of the thirty-three clans. And our Matriarch has faced seven Epoch Core Cultivators alone and come out unscathed. Is this enough face for you?"

Yasenia blinked twice, confused. 'When have I faced those cultivators? One of them is enough to spank me like a child!'

The harpy saw the woman's face change and asked coldly. "Now, my patience is gone, so you have five seconds to take out the item before I send you back to your daddy with fewer limbs than you have now!"

Cecile hummed. "She has character."

Yasenia pondered. "A bit too aggressive."

Hanna chuckled. "To tell you the truth, she is my niece. She is usually gentle and refined until you piss her off. Then you have quite an explosive woman that can bite whoever enrages her."

Tatyana said lazily. "She needs to control her temper. Explosive temper is a one-trip way to dying young."

Hanna nodded. "Don't worry. She is usually very mindful. That's why we placed her as the shopkeeper here. I guess she has evaluated that this woman is a bit cowardly, so using strength is the best."
