Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 653: Do you like jazz?

Lord Basky must have assumed that Scarlet was somehow frightened of him and it gave him the idea to be arrogant. He pointed at her and said authoritatively, "You must apologize to my son and his friends for the injustice they suffered. I want the apology to be public just as your officers made their arrest public."

Scarlet was not sure about what kind of reaction lord Basky was expecting to see from her but she just stared at him blankly, looking through him as if he wasn’t even there.

This irked Lord Basky even more. Nobody looked at him like this, as if he was irrelevant. "When your emperor hears about this....."

Scarlet pointed the music player and asked him, "What do you think lord Basky?" She gestured with the nodding of her head, "Jazz music. Do you like jazz?"

Lord Basky was caught off guard by her rude interruption only to ask such an irrelevant question. What did it matter to her what he thought of the horrible noise she was listening to? He had no idea what this jazz was and he didn’t care for it.

Scarlet tapped her right hand fingers against her right knee as she watched him. It was plain to see that he neither liked nor understood jazz. "Hmmm, I guess you don’t like it."

"What nonsense are you going on about?" Lord Basky asked her. Then he looked back at her guards and to her. "Your people don’t have any manners or training. How dare they keep a noble man of my stature standing? I demand for a seat and refreshments."

Scarlet raised her eyebrows at him and smiled. Looking at him was the same as looking at a dancing clown, really. He was incredibly entitled. He didn’t know his place, like many people lately. She didn’t like it___, not at all.

"Do you realize that you are on my planet?" she asked him.

"Do you realize that I am here as a guest of your emperor?" he reiterated.

She chuckled softly and replied, "I hate to break it to you Lord Basky but the emperor lives in the capital. If you want to be pampered then you must move there as soon as possible."

She turned her body forward and squinted as she looked far out in the distance at the ugly grey tower. She moved her hand and brought a weapon which was a hand launched missile that she got from Vi-Poral from her storage bracelet. It was a red light red tube about the same size as her arm, so small for the purpose which it was meant. She had been mesmerized the moment she set her eyes on it.

Again, she turned to the entitled man who was staring at her rather curiously. "Do you know why I have asked you if you are aware that you are on my planet Lord Basky?"

He didn’t respond, not that she expected him to. He just stared at her impatiently, probably waiting for her to finish what she wanted to say and then he would make another demand. As far as Scarlet could tell, they were having two different conversations.

She sighed and muttered. "I should not waste my time on the likes on you. I just need you to know your place. I think everyone should know their place and things should be left where they belong. Like children, they should stay with their mother as nature intended it."

Lord Basky frowned, completely confused. In his mind, he wondered if Scarlet was perhaps intoxicated. What children was she talking about?

Scarlet did not intend to elaborate further on her words. She picked up the light red tube, inserted a a silver square ball inside and watched the lines along the tube light up and begin counting down.

An unexpected machinated voice came from the tube. "Weapon activated. Prepare for launch in ten seconds. You have five seconds to deactivate and abort."

Tion quickly grabbed minister Basky and shoved the man behind his towering frame.

"Get him out of here." he yelled to the other guards.

Barely had he finished shouting the command when something was launched from the light red tube in Scarlet’s hand. It was so quick and powerful, giving off powerful energy as it cut through the air. The shields around wine country were activated and warning sounds were set off.

Scarlet, the perpetrator of this chaos was surprised as well because she didn’t imagine that the weapon would be incredibly powerful like this. She thought it would be like firing an energy gun. But it was not because this had two hundred times as much power as an energy gun.

The grey structure came crumbling down in one trembling heap, leaving nothing but dust as a remainder of what used to exist before.

"Holy shit!!" Scarlet jumped up and exclaimed. She turned her wide eyed gaze to Tion. "Did you see that?"

Tion stared at her in bewilderment as if she had lost her mind. He could not believe that she had just fired what was probably an illegal weapon in the empire.

"You are...." he punched the air and groaned before putting his hands on his waist as he tried to calm himself down. Tion took in a few calculated deep breaths because this was not the first and it would not be the last time she pulled a stunt like this. She had a habit of going overboard unnecessarily. "Have you lost your mind, lady governor. No offense but please would you start thinking things through."

Scarlet laughed and put her hand over her mouth. It was actually kind of liberating what she had just done. She had been looking for something to blow up long since before she slept. She had not used her flame but this was good enough.

"On the contrary Tion, I thought things through. I wanted the monstrosity of a building gone and it’s gone." She replied. "Now next time someone tries to build an illegal structure on my land, they will think twice."

"Those are extreme measures. You have people for this type of work." he answered or yelled.

She sat down and calmly replied, "And yet they haven’t been doing their job right. If they had done it, I would not be blowing stuff up left and right. Yesterday it was cars and today it’s a building. I don’t know what it will be tomorrow but I know it will be something."

Tion held out his hand expectantly. "Give it to me."

He could not trust her to keep that weapon on hand. She was on some kind of blow things up mission it seemed and she was not yet satisfied. This mission of hers could easily go from rectifying mistakes to just sheer carelessness that would result in the public calling her a menace.

Scarlet shook her head stubbornly from side to side and folded her lips like a child. "Uh-uh."

She hid it away quickly, putting it back in her storage bracelet.

"This is not over." Tion backed away and gave up momentarily.

It was not because he was scared of her but rather because what was a rescue cavalry had arrived and he needed to send them away with a good explanation.
