BXBX NOVEL 212 Chapter 212
With Riya’s and Alex troop’s help, the monsters were taken down easily.
Riya killed the panther as if it was just a kitten startling everyone and many fell onto their knees and thanked him while King Brian offered several treasures to Leonhart and all the diplomacy was handled by Catherine.
Meanwhile, Alex who had disappeared just sent a message that he had taken care of the other hand but requested not to make it public for now.
King Brian wanted to treat Alex and others but he refused and said they will visit Bright to have a friendly chat at another time.
…..
“Alex what did you do with Edward?”
“Did you kill him?”
Alex, who was resting his chin on his palms, heard Catherine’s question, and stared at her giving a playful smile, “That’s secret.”
“You don’t need to worry about him anymore.”
“What about the experiment labs and those monsters and beasts,” Christina asked.
“Big Brother, did you all kill them?”
“Just how many were there and how did you manage to kill them,” Alice asked with a curious expression.
Alex saw the curious gaze of the four ladies who were staring at him with a questioning gaze as they showered him with a series of questions one after another.
‘Aren’t they a little bit too curious about it? Instead of that, shouldn’t they ask for my safety first? Just what kind of wife and sister are you all.’Alex muttered inwardly with a bittered expression.
“I have taken control over them. They have a slave mark on them which allowed the master to listen to them. I was able to manipulate the slave mark and make them submit to me.”
“That bastard had several magic scrolls with him. I decode the slave scroll and I tortured him to give up their ownership of them to me.”
“Keep this within yourselves.”
“And I am going to use them only in case of emergency. They are hidden underground in a secret lab. Only King Briana nd Harry knew about it.”
“Thank God! We have solved the problem of Bright. It was a thorn for us before. But now we have gained a powerful ally.” Riya muttered.
Everyone nodded.
After solving everything, King Brian asked Harry to accompany them as Harry was quite familiar with Zenith.
He even sends some forces to help Alex if anything troublesome comes up.
Except for Bright, Alex didn’t face any trouble in other kingdoms.
But before reaching Zenith, they had to pass through a City Clex which is quite popular for the outlaws.
Clex was an independent city where various criminal underground forces of Kinley hid. It was heaven for criminals where no one could touch them.
Previously it was a part of the Tier 2 Kingdom Whiteriver but they weren’t able to control it and the city gained independence from them.
It was a place where crime rates were too high and where even ordinary citizens walking on the pavement may turn out to be a thief.
If they took a detour now, their journey would be delayed by one and a half days.
There were other paths but Alex needed to pass through them as he needed to check something and on top of that he needed to loot some of them otherwise he wouldn’t have a good night’s sleep.
Alex’s hands were already itching to hoard them.
Moreover, no one was brave enough to seek trouble with Kinley’s royal family. With Alice here, they would be seeking death if they try to act.
They would just leave their way on seeing the Royal Flag of Kinley but Alex didn’t want to use it.
After all, wouldn’t it be more fun this way? Alex can’t help but rub his hands thinking about the delicious meals that lie ahead.
Behind the carriage, Alex’s group was rotating shifts around the place.
Harry, who had been out of touch, wanted to train with them. He treated the whole journey as training to regain his strength.
This journey was equally important for him. He had to make up for the loss of two years and his regressed strength.
But even after that, he couldn’t help but frown regarding Alex’s decision to visit Clex city.
“Was there a need to go through this?” Harry asked with a worried expression.
“Trust me, this city is the worst place in Kinley. Lowest of the lowest scums live there.”
“You can’t lower your guard even for a moment.”
“It is full of thieves, bandits, gangsters and mercenaries.”Harry tried to persuade them.
But contrary to his expectation, everyone burst into laughter.
Max almost fell from the horse on hearing Harry’s words while others laughed, holding their stomach unable to contain it.
Harry wondered whether he had made a joke for them to react like this and stared at Mordek who just stared at him as if he was just a naive boy.
” Why the hell are you all behaving like this?”Harry asked with a curious expression.
Ben walked over and patted his shoulder” By the time we pass through this place, you will know why are we behaving like this?”
“It’s not us who should be worried, rather it should be them who should be worried about.”
“After all, the one who is going there is their godfather.”
Although Harry was still confused, the atmosphere was quite amicable while everyone was laughing and chatting happily.
But the good times were suddenly interrupted by some people who surrounded them.
Swish!
A white arrow coated with red blood suddenly shot out from the dark distance and stabbed right into the ground before the cavaliers leading the charge.
Followed by this, a large number of arrows were shot from all around which drew a line on the ground.
The blood on the arrow scattered everywhere and after it came an overbearing loud shout.
“We are members of lone wolf bandits. Take out 1000 gold coins if you don’t want to die.”
The blood dripping from the arrow signified that by taking a step forward without coughing out coins, you will meet with death.
Such type of warning and looting by threatening was quite popular. If you don’t have a status or a huge name, you are bound to fall prey to it.
Alex came with thousands of troops but leaving three hundred with him, he scattered the others forming a group, all of them will be led by Transcendent rank experts from Alice’s side who will train along the journey and meet them at the intersection before Zenith.
Except for a few Alice troops following them in the dark Alex had sent most of them away.
Moreover, entering the city with such a huge number of troops may provoke them causing unnecessary bloodshed.
The remaining three hundred here were in rough shape and carried broken instruments. With no flag or symbol in their hand, they were naturally mistaken as pushovers.
“Your Majesty!”Max screamed like a gorilla.
“Leave them to be.”
“I will slaughter them, piss on them. Crush their balls and will make sure that their fourteen generations will come to an end today.”
Alex didn’t react to Max’s words and walked out of the carriage.
Stepping forward, he pulled one of the arrows, snapped them into pieces and ordered”Tear them down.”
The archers hiding deep in the dark trees reacted quickly and pulled out the arrows but before they could shoot.
Swish!
A sharp arrow silently pierced the wind, went straight into the throat and went out of the other end.
