Comical
Chen Ling slowly stood up and walked towards the outside of the dining room.
He ca to the corridor and looked through the glass-like European-style windows into the manor. He only saw billowing thick smoke rising slowly from all over. Except for the 【Kitchen】 and 【Warehouse】, the two hardest-hit areas, many of the lawns and rooms that had been swept by gunfire were also burning with flas.
The private residence of 【Zong Wen】, which was still luxurious and noble a few minutes ago, now looked like a wasteland swept by the flas of war, devastated everywhere.
"Is this the strength of 【Heart 9】..." Chen Ling sighed in his heart.
He was indeed a senior starting with 9 in the 【Dusk Society】. With the power of one person, he forcefully shook all the defenses of the 【Flower Capital Consortium】. Not only did he snatch 【The Scroll】, but he also broke out of the encirclent and escaped without a trace, without even suffering much injury.
Chen Ling guessed that 【Heart 9】's rank should be above the 【Fifth-Tier】, perhaps even the 【Sixth Stage】... Such a powerful and reckless lunatic was simply a nightmare for the 【Human Domains】. Chen Ling finally understood how the outside world's evaluation of the 【Dusk Society】 ca about.
"You didn't catch him?! What the hell are you all good for!!"
Inside the devastated manor, 【Zong Wen】 was so angry his head was about to explode. He pointed at the crowd of bodyguards and cursed at them, telling them to continue the pursuit.
Among these bodyguards, there wasn't a lack of high-tier existences. Chen Ling even sensed the aura of the 【Fifth-Tier】 and even the 【Sixth Stage】 among them. However, when faced with 【Heart 9】, who was also at the 【Sixth Stage】 and incomparably crazy, they simply didn't dare to fight him to the death with all their might.
In the end, with the rank of these people, they would leave the 【Flower Capital Consortium】 in another two years to enjoy a broader life. Naturally, they wouldn't throw away their lives for that little bit of money. Since the other party wanted to run, then let him run. At worst, they would be reprimanded by 【Zong Wen】 a few tis, it wasn't like they would lose a piece of at over it.
"Strange... Did the people from 【Floating Life Painting】 unexpectedly not make a move?"
Chen Ling was thoughtful. He originally didn't think the 【Flower Capital Consortium】 could stop 【Heart 9】. After all, bodyguards were just bodyguards, they simply couldn't compare to the proper 【Enforcers】 of the 【Aurora Domain】. He was only worried about 【Floating Life Painting】... But looking at it now, it seed no one went to find trouble for 【Heart 9】.
Regardless, the scroll was in hand this ti. Chen Ling paused in the corridor for a mont, then slowly walked outside.
"【Special Envoy】 【Lord】, are you..."
Seeing that the 【Special Envoy】 【Lord】 was suddenly about to leave, the three bodyguards imdiately panicked a little. After all, the task 【Zong Wen】 gave them was to take good care of the 【Special Envoy】 and keep him steady so he wouldn't leave. At this mont, they imdiately surrounded him, wanting to persuade him.
"Scram."
Chen Ling didn't even look at them, and spoke coldly.
As soon as this word ca out, the three bodyguards didn't dare to say much. After all, if they angered this 【Rank 8】 【Special Envoy】, they wouldn't have any good fruit to eat. They could only stand in place silently, eagerly watching the black windbreaker disappear at the end of the corridor.
Chen Ling just left the private residence like this. Following the manor road with billowing thick smoke on both sides, he walked straight towards the direction of the main gate...
The breeze blew across the surface of the golden mask. Bursts of panicked shouts and firefighting sounds rose and fell in the distance;
The bodyguards along the way, as well as the gardeners and maids frantically fighting the fire, saw the black-clad figure walking towards the gate, treading on thin air. They all froze slightly, then bowed respectfully, motionless like sculptures.
Just as Chen Ling was about to reach the main gate of the manor, 【Zong Wen】's panicked voice ca from behind:
"【Special Envoy】 【Lord】! 【Special Envoy】 【Lord】, please wait! What happened this ti was truly an accident. If you stay a little longer, I..."
【Zong Wen】 was seen rushing over with two bodyguards, sweating profusely. 【Liu Qingyan】 also followed silently behind him. The originally leisurely and indifferent Chairman Zong, who played with the 【Red Dust】, now looked extrely battered.
"There is no need." Chen Ling interrupted his words, "It seems I ca at a bad ti today... We will gather again next ti if fate permits."
As his voice fell, Chen Ling continued to walk forward. His footsteps stepped on the void, as if riding clouds and mist, and he floated out of the 【Flower Capital Consortium】.
"No... 【Special Envoy】 【Lord】, 【Special Envoy】 【Lord】!"
"This is all the calculation of that old thief 【Mu Chunsheng】!! He wants to bring down our 【Flower Capital Consortium】, so he is driving a wedge in our relationship..."
"【Special Envoy】 【Lord】, please wait!! Give another chance, I still have many top-level 'collections' here..."
"【Liu Qingyan】! 【Liu Qingyan】 is still here! Letting her accompany you more is also good..."
【Zong Wen】 was anxious. Yesterday, the Beidou Consortium got along extrely harmoniously with the 【Special Envoy】, and today, when he ca here, it turned into this... Setting other things aside, once this matter was exposed by the dia, the reputation of their 【Flower Capital Consortium】 would be ruined. Moreover, there was no doubt that the Beidou Consortium would seize this matter and make a big deal out of it!
The 【Special Envoy】 leaving like this was equivalent to slapping the entire 【Flower Capital Consortium】 in the face, directly turning them into the side with an absolute disadvantage in the war between Flower Capital and Beidou... And 【Zong Wen】 had absolutely no way to stop it!
Chen Ling acted as if he hadn't heard his shouts. Watching the figure completely disappear at the edge of the horizon, 【Zong Wen】's face turned ashen.
...
anwhile.
On top of a certain building, the short 【Clown】 seed to have sensed sothing and looked in the direction Chen Ling had left.
"Yi ha ha ha ha!!"
"Yi ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"
"Yi ha ha ha ha..."
Beside him, the two bodyguards were still laughing wildly. In the unpredictable bright and dim sky above, the faint laughter accompanied the dancing thunder, becoming increasingly clear and comical.
They were like actors forcefully dragged into a 【Performance】, uncontrollably burning their own lives to display their comical and laughable side.
But at this ti, the only 【The Audience】 had already grown tired of all this. 【Clown】 stared straight in the direction Chen Ling left, and with a casual wave of his hand, the two bodyguards fell to the ground with a thud.
At the sa ti, a figure also fell straight down from the empty high altitude, plunging headfirst into the surging fountain.
As the 【White Ash】 on the faces of the three people disappeared, the comical laughter transferred from their bodies to 【Clown】's body like an invisible living creature...
An honest and comical smile suddenly erged on 【Clown】's originally deep and solemn face. Then, facing the several people who had fallen to the ground, he started laughing uproariously:
"Yi ha ha ha ha!!"
He bounced and clapped his hands at the three people, seemingly finding their 【Performance】 just now very funny. At this mont, the three people were already on the verge of death.
【Clown】 blinked his beady eyes a few tis, looked again in the direction Chen Ling had left, and with a swoosh, he leaped into the air. Like a weightless little kite, he chased straight towards there!
"Yi ya yi ya!"
