Chapter 291 Corrupt Guards

\'Why are they coming at me?\' Thought Damian.

One of the guards looked at him and said, "Excuse me, you are new around here, right?"

He was new in town, but that was the same for many other people there, and the guards didn\'t go ask them the same question. They wanted something from Damian. They were looking for trouble.

"Yes, indeed. What give it away?" Damian said with a smile, trying to act friendly with the guards.

The guard smiled back, "The way you look at things. Foreigners always get lost in the city\'s beauty. Anyway, you probably don\'t know about this because you are new, but there is a fee you must pay for the city guards to ensure the safety of the city and..."

They were asking for money. Illegal money. Damian didn\'t know what do to or say. He was confident in winning against most of the people in the city, but there was still the chance someone powerful was there, someone that could win against him.

"Really? But I don\'t have any money. I came to this city to make a living, so all my money was used for me to get here," Damian said, his face pitiful.

He was trying his best to make them believe him, but that didn\'t do it.

"Cut the crap!" the guard said, his tone of anger, "You certainly have money. We saw you enter that fancy building not long ago. If you don\'t want to die, follow us, right now!"

Damian thought about yelling things like, \'here, corrupt guards trying to steal my money,\' but decided not to.

Damian did as the guards told him, and followed them into an alley, a deserted one. There was no one around, and that made the guards act more fiercely toward him.

"Give me your money you piece of shit," the guard said, "you are here because we allow you to."

With a smirk, Damian asked, "How many guards does this city have? Lots of them, right?"

That was a strange question to ask at that particular moment, but the guards still answered him, "Yes, there are lots of guards here, but no one to help you. So, give up and give us everything you have."

"So no one would miss if all of you suddenly disappeared or are found dead in a random alley, right?" Damian said, his smile unsettling.

Never did the guards think Damian would say something like that. They blinked a few times, not quite understanding what they had just heard.

That was unsettling to say the least, and the guards retreated a few steps, but then, they could not move anymore. Damian activated his ability, and the guards could not move or say a word. They were trapped like flies in a web.

"So you are corrupt guards trying to get the money from foreigners, right? Why did you pick me?" Damian asked.

He deactivated his ability for one guard, and waited for the answer. "We just get random foreign people, that\'s all."

For some reason, Damian was not believing him. "Didn\'t you say you saw me enter a fancy building? I am sure you know what that building was, right? So, did anyone else ask you to do this?"

When Damian said that, the guard stood quiet, not saying another word.

\'I knew it! Someone with a high position in this city doesn\'t want Elena\'s organization to keep breathing!\'

Damian looked at the guard and said, "If you don\'t want to tell me, I can just get the answers myself, so it does not matter."

He was ready to use his mind powers to read their minds and get the answers he wanted, but then, the guards\' heads exploded, all of them. It was as if someone had activated a bomb the moment Damian was about to get the answers!

"Who did this?" Damian cursed, looking around the alley, trying to see if someone else was there. No one was there.

It had to be a spell which could be activated from the distance, and presumably, the person who did that to the guards was the same person who hired the guards to attack Damian in the first place.

\'I need to warn Elena and the others, but only after eating something, I am starving!\'

Damian moved his palm toward the bodies in front of him and drained all of their blood, turning them into skeletons. He could feel the surge of power going through his body. It felt nice.

Although the situation looked quite serious, Damian decided to eat something before returning to their base to speak with the girls. He looked for a normal looking restaurant, and ordered simple foods with alcohol and wine to relax his mind.

The atmosphere in a simple restaurant pleased him more than the usual crowded luxury restaurants. Damian just wanted some peace and a time away from the rich people.

"Hey, give this man a drink," Damian said as he gestured to the attendant behind the counter. He decided to pay a few drinks to the drunk men who were there, and they all appreciated it.

They laughed and talked shit, ignoring all of their problems for a while. After spending two hours eating and drinking, Damian returned to Elena, and explained the situation to her and the other people.

"What? Someone targeted you? Who could it be? Also, this is not the first time, but we still don\'t know who is doing this!"

"Not the first time? So you are saying that the guards already came for someone else of your organization? Or rather, my organization now," Damian said.

"Hum, yes, they did. But we need to investigate this in another time. Our priority is the freezing problem. When do we leave?" Elena asked.

It was time for yet another journey.
