Imperial City, Civilian District.
The Witch’s House Bar.
Qin Chu frowned deeply as he watched a multitude of guards expelling the patrons from inside.
"Everyone, it’s more lively to drink together," Qin Chu persuaded them.
"Mr. Brave, these commoners are not worthy to drink with you. Please be mindful of your status," the adjutant said to Qin Chu with utmost respect.
"Aren’t we all human?"
"But, not all humans are the sa."
In the Sky Do Continent, this was an ingrained concept; only Nobles were considered human, whereas commoners didn’t even qualify to be called human, nor did they have the right to be under the sa roof as the Nobility.
Knight, barely counted as one of the Noble class.
They were the lowest rank within the Noble Class, suffering the oppression of other Nobles, and in turn, taking out the pressure they endured upon other commoners, so as to assert their existence and status.
Commoners with dark skin, dressed in coarse hemp garnts, were chased out of the bar. They seed to have grown accustod to such treatnt, not showing much resistance—only a very few murmured under their breath.
They did not curse the Hero; after all, Mr. Brave had just attempted to stop these Soldiers—it was purely the soldiers abusing their power.
The bar was cleared out, and Knights spread out around the Witch’s House, not allowing anyone to approach.
Behind the bar, Candice’s purple hair seed to shine even brighter, and Qin Chu could feel that Candice’s strength had slightly increased.
Candice glanced at Qin Chu with a hint of suspicion. After all, he was the Hero—what was he doing in her bar?
Could it be that he discovered her true identity? If that were the case, things could get quite problematic.
Although Candice had made so progress in strength by studying the Skyfire teor that Lord Horus had left behind, she did not feel confident in facing the Hero, Maritiss, or the large group of Knights outside.
A flash of wariness glead through her gem-like purple eyes, "Esteed Mr. Brave and Lord Knight, what would you like to have?"
"A glass of Witch’s Heart, please!"
"I’ll have Witch’s Hair..."
Candice smiled seductively, her slender and fair fingers nimbly shaking the cocktail shaker. Soon enough, a glass of crimson Witch’s Heart was pushed towards Qin Chu.
In front of Maritiss, the glass contained a liquid as black as silk blossoming, and at a glance, the entire glass seed to be filled with delicate hairs, beautiful with a hint of eeriness.
Swirling the liquid in his glass, Qin Chu wanted to clink glasses with Maritiss and then toast to her eyes...
It would surely set the mood.
Instead, Maritiss just held her glass, gestured a toast toward Qin Chu, and said, "Bottoms up..."
Then, she drank it all in one gulp.
The next second, with a clatter, Maritiss collapsed onto the counter.
She was drunk.
This big sister’s tolerance for alcohol was still so weak.
Just touching alcohol would make her drunk, and when drunk, she would sleep.
Yet, she still liked to drink...
It was said that in the Knight Order, there was even a betting pool regarding Maritiss—anyone who could finish a bottle of alcohol before Maritiss passed out would win a prize of one thousand mana.
With such tolerance, even Candice was shocked. A bit bewildered, she stared at Maritiss, "Mr. Brave, this Lord Knight..."
"Don’t worry, she’s just drunk," Qin Chu shrugged off lightly, and if it wasn’t for this, he wouldn’t have co to the bar with Maritiss. He would likely find an excuse to drown his sorrows alone.
"Miss Candice, may I ask you a question?" Qin Chu said with a smile.
"Of course, you ma—cough cough, Mr. Brave, you must be mistaken, my na is Catherine, not Candice..." Candice pursed her lips, her speech instinctively quickening as her purple eyes darted around.
"Heh, Miss Candice, you need not be so nervous; I an no harm!" Qin Chu said, smiling as he brought his glass to his lips, "I’m rely here on soone’s behalf to gather so information."
Candice narrowed her eyes, "Sorry, I’m just a small bar owner, I don’t have any information here, are you sure you haven’t got the wrong person?"
Qin Chu smiled and glanced at Candice:
"My eyes see through a millennium!"
This ti, Qin Chu had to exchange information with Candice personally, as more and more people were around him, making it inconvenient to act frequently. He could not always appear as Horus.
To maintain control over Candice, it was necessary to keep the identity of Horus mysterious.
Moreover, Candice was a clever woman. It wouldn’t be hard for her to deduce so connection between Horus’s arrangents and the Hero’s actions, so it was better to take the initiative.
Qin Chu was not worried about Candice exposing him; after all, on one side was the Hero, and on the other, a Half-demon with a Succubus Bloodline. It was unnecessary to consider which side people would believe.
And he had plenty of ways to intimidate Candice so that she would not dare to take any rash action.
Hiss!
Candice inhaled sharply. From the mont the Knight began to evict the other patrons until now, her expression had changed for the first ti.
"My eyes see through a millennium."
That was sothing Lord Horus had once said.
Won always excel at imagining things.
She didn’t hide her astonishnt; her crystal purples eyes were full of admiration.
