Chapter 358 - Alone Requesting for Help, Devil Fla City Lord
Just as everyone was eyeing the entrance of Hell’s Rose, Vincent brought Monica to a room located at the entrance of Hell’s Rose via an elevator.
The two of them nodded at the Hell’s Rose employee who was guarding the room. They then walked to the window to observe the situation outside.
Monica looked out of the window and said happily, “It’s so quiet. There’s no one on the street. Looks like those people who want to ambush us have already left!”
She was happy not only because the danger outside had been averted, but also because it was one of the few tis that she had seen the outside world.
When she thought about living outside, she suddenly felt like it was not all bad to be by Vincent’s side.
Vincent carefully observed the surrounding courtyard and said with a frown, “It’s because it’s too quiet here, that’s why it’s so strange! You stay in this room and don’t go out. Wait for my signal!”
Monica nodded and replied, “Okay, I got it!”
Vincent was ready to push the door open and walk out of the room. Suddenly, Monica said with so worry, “Be careful, be careful!”
Vincent smiled and nodded. He then pushed open the door of Hell’s Rose and strode out.
When Vincent appeared in the alley, his presence instantly attracted the attention of countless pairs of eyes that were hiding in the dark. Vincent seed to be able to sense the gazes in the dark, as well as where they were coming from.
He walked into the alley without a sound and raised his hand to grab the Return Journey of the Dead that had been entangled by the cloth strips.
The Dark Elves did not have the habit of using knives, so when Vincent disguised himself as a Dark Elf, he had to disguise his Return Journey of the Dead as well. He wrapped it in a dusty coarse cloth strip. Those who did not look closely would have thought that it was a magic staff. Even though Dave had seen it up close, he would only think that it was Vincent’s personal defensive weapon. He would not think that he was using a weapon from another race.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a few arrows shot out from within the darkness. They aid straight at Vincent.
Vincent raised his Return Journey of the Dead but he did not unsheathe it. Instead, he used it as a stick to block all the arrows that flew toward him.
At the sa ti, Vincent could confirm that the entire alley had been occupied by the assassins!
“We don’t care who you are. Hand over the Elf King’s remains, and you can leave safely! If you don’t hand it over, you will never leave this alley alive!”
A sinister threat ca from within the courtyards.
Vincent’s lips curled slightly as he said softly, “Do you think trash like you are qualified to threaten ? If you want the Elf King’s remains, wait until you capture !”
“F*ck, how arrogant! Looks like he’s definitely the son of the City Lord!”
“What do we do next? This kid doesn’t listen to reason. Are we going to do anything about it?”
“Since he dares to look down on us, then we don’t need to show him any rcy. Let’s all attack together and tear him into pieces! After all, if we kill him tonight, no one will be able to find out who did it in the future!”
Whispers instantly broke out in the surrounding courtyards, as if everyone was discussing how to deal with Vincent who had fallen into their encirclent.
However, when Vincent heard the voices around him, a disdainful smile appeared on his face. He turned around and left.
“Not good, he’s going to escape!”
The assassin who was on sentry duty noticed Vincent’s movents and quickly called out to his companions.
“We can’t let him escape! Let’s chase after him!”
Everyone roared as they rushed out of the courtyards and chased after Vincent who was walking slowly in the alley.
Vincent bent forward with one hand and raised his other hand back. He acted as if he was preparing to run. As he had moved his hands, the phenonon between heaven and earth also moved!
A bolt of lightning suddenly lit up and illuminated the path in front of him. When Vincent’s raised hand stopped at the highest point, a gust of wind suddenly rose from the flat ground. It blew so hard that everyone who caught up to him could not open their eyes.
This was the Art of Heaven’s Will. It could be used at any ti, anywhere, with the help of the heaven and earth phenonon. When it was cultivated to the great success stage, it could directly kill people. When it was cultivated to the beginner stage, it could also have the effect of confusing the enemy and create opportunities!
Whilst everyone was in a daze, Vincent quickly rushed out of the alley. He turned into an afterimage as he ran toward the center of Devil Fla City.
“This is bad, we can’t let him run into the City Lord’s Mansion! If the City Lord finds out about this, we’ll all die. Before dawn, everyone must rush up to kill him!”
Everyone roared as they raised their weapons. They then rushed out of the alley and chased Vincent along the streets of Devil Fla City.
With Vincent’s strength, he could directly draw his sword and fight with the pursuers. However, doing so would expose his strength and identity.
Therefore, he could only disguise his strength and pretend to be a level 25 creature in front of everyone. However, he still ran faster than everyone else!
Vincent was already a level 35 creature. Back in the Arena of Life and Death, he had learned the trick of using flas to propel himself. As Vincent had grasped the fla authority and modification authority, his flas could naturally provide him with the power to move forward without making any sound. Therefore, speed beca one of Vincent’s big advantages.
At the sa ti, Vincent had also learned the divine will of the Immortals. This had once again strengthened his ability to escape. These pursuers, whose strength was between level 30 and level 40, wanted to catch up to Vincent. It was simply wishful thinking on their part.
However, Vincent had deliberately controlled his speed to not arouse suspicion. He did not escape from everyone’s sight. Instead, he maintained the distance between himself and the pursuers behind him. He then led them in the direction of the City Lord’s mansion.
At that mont, there were so who had stopped chasing after Vincent. This was because they either recognized or guessed that the one who had left was definitely not Dave. This ant that they were chasing after the wrong Dark Elf.
The real Dave must still be in Hell’s Rose. He wanted to wait for the Dark Elves outside to be lured away, and then sneak out of Hell’s Rose!
In the courtyard at the exit of the alley, the Dark Elf from Dark Yuan City asked Linus, “High Priest, why aren’t we chasing after him?”
Linus kept his head lowered the whole ti. He said in a deep voice, “That person dared to brazenly walk out and stand in the alley to humiliate those who were chasing after him. This kind of behavior is too out of line. It’s completely opposite to the cautious son of the City Lord who usually doesn’t show his face. This ans that he can’t be our real target. He’s just a chess piece used to lure us away!”
Another Dark Elf from Dark Yuan City sighed thoughtfully, “In that case, the Dark Elf earlier was just a subordinate of the son of the City Lord? But his aura is too arrogant. It is as if I’ve seen him sowhere before!”
Linus suddenly frowned when he heard that and sighed softly, “Where have I seen him before? I’ve only seen such a jumpy look on one creature and that creature was the alien who destroyed the God statue!”
The other Dark Elves nodded in agreent. They had the sa feeling, but they could not connect the two.
Linus suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had thought of sothing. He quickly said to his n around him, “Send a few Dark Elves to follow that guy who had just run out of the alley. Pay attention to where he went, but only observe from the dark. Don’t go near him, and don’t fight him directly!”
“Yes!”
Although they did not understand what was going on, they still obeyed Linus’s orders.
…
At the sa ti, on the roof of a building, David was sitting alone. He could not help but sneer and sighed softly, “Dave, oh Dave, your crude deception can work on others, but it cannot work on . I want to see how long you can hide! As long as the sun rises, I’ll contact my n in the temple to start sealing up Hell’s Rose. By then, you won’t be able to escape either!”
On the other side, Vincent and the army of assassins chasing behind him began to run wantonly through the main street of Devil Fla City. Vincent did not feel any pressure at all. He even slowed down his pace with so ease. However, his pursuers behind him were becoming more and more frightened. This was because they suddenly realized that the street they were on was on the way to the City Lord’s mansion.
“We can’t continue chasing him. If the City Lord catches us, we’ll die imdiately!”
“Let’s try again! I’m really unwilling to leave like this!”
“Yeah, that b*stard is right in front of us. If we don’t catch up to him today, I’m afraid we’ll regret it every day for the rest of our lives!”
The pursuers who were chasing after Vincent discussed in deep voices as they chased after him.
Vincent, who had been leading the way, looked at the surrounding streets and knew that they had arrived at the center of the city.
He then shouted at the top of his lungs, “Quick! Soone is trying to assassinate the son of the City Lord! Quick! Soone is trying to snatch the Elf King’s remains!”
The pursuers behind him were all shocked. At the sa ti, they were even more certain that he had the Elf King’s remains on him.
“Hurry up and kill him. Don’t let him speak anymore!”
All of the pursuers imdiately picked up their weapons, wanting to kill Vincent to silence him.
However, at that mont, a heavy voice suddenly sounded from the surrounding streets. Imdiately after, everyone felt the ground beneath them tremble. They looked around in panic.
At the intersection of Devil Fla City that extended in all directions, countless Dark Elf soldiers in heavy armor and orderly footsteps suddenly rushed over. They surrounded Vincent and the pursuers.
A Dark Elf who looked like a general stood out and asked in a deep voice, “Who’s causing trouble here in the middle of the night?”
Vincent quickly replied, “I’m His Highness, Dave’s personal bodyguard. His Highness is in trouble and is being pursued by assassins. I’m here to seek help from the City Lord!”
“Why is His Highness Dave being pursued by assassins all of a sudden?”
The general was not in a hurry to bring Vincent to the City Lord. Instead, he frowned and questioned him. It was as if the life of the City Lord’s son was not important to him. Instead, verifying the truth of the matter was his top priority.
After hearing that, Vincent quickly said, “Last night, His Highness Dave bought a set of Elf King’s remains in the auction house and was prepared to present it to the City Lord. However, he was targeted by the others who participated in the auction. They are currently hunting down His Highness in groups. Only if the City Lord makes a move can he save His Highness’s life!”
As Vincent spoke, he turned to look at the pursuers who were also surrounded on the streets, indicating that they were the ones who wanted to assassinate the son of the City Lord.
“The Elf King’s remains?”
The general’s eyes lit up when he heard that, but he still had so doubts about Vincent’s words. He then turned around to look at the group of pursuers.
“The situation is not good, run quickly!”
The guilty assassin did not dare to defend himself. When he saw the general’s scrutinizing gaze, he imdiately roared and wanted to charge out of the army’s encirclent.
When the general saw this, the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile. At this mont, he was certain that Vincent was telling the truth. He then ordered, “Kill these assassins on the spot!”
“Yes!” replied the army in unison. They then launched a one-sided massacre against the assassins.
The army of Devil Fla City contained warriors that were trained by the City Lord himself. Whether it was strength or battle experience, they were far superior to this motley crew. Therefore, the battle was destined to end the mont it started!
After the general gave the order, he did not bother to look at the situation on the battlefield. Instead, he walked to Vincent and asked in a deep voice, “Where is His Highness now? Is he safe?”
Vincent quickly replied, “His Highness Dave is hiding in Hell’s Rose. He is safe for now, but there are still countless assassins guarding the outside, so His Highness cannot escape!”
The general nodded and said, “Since His Highness is safe for now, then I will bring you to et the City Lord!”
Vincent nodded and replied, “Okay!”
Then, under the general’s lead, Vincent soon arrived at the gate of the City Lord’s mansion. It was the most magnificent building in Devil Fla City.
“Wait here, I will pass the ssage for you!”
After the general gave Vincent a reminder, he took the lead and walked into the City Lord’s mansion.
Vincent, who remained in his original spot, could not help but raise his head and size up the mansion in front of him. The entire mansion was built using dark red ore. This ore would emit a faint red light during the night. There was also a layer of faint psionic energy circulating on its surface, which seed to have the effect of condensing psionic power.
At the sa ti, the architectural style of the mansion appeared sowhat evil. It was completely different from the architectural style that one would normally see in Elf World. It looked a little gloomy and uncomfortable. Coupled with the dark red hue, it gave off an extrely oppressive feeling.
Vincent imdiately rembered that Andre was known as one of the twelve apostles of the demon king. His degree of flattery toward Gajero must have reached the extre. Therefore, the architectural style of his mansion must be related to the Demon Race.
Just as Vincent was secretly speculating, a Dark Elf who looked like a servant walked out of the mansion and said to Vincent, “The City Lord invites you in!”
Vincent nodded and followed the Dark Elf into the mansion. At the sa ti, he sighed in his heart. It seed that the City Lord really did not care about the life and death of his son!
After hearing that Dave was in trouble, he did not imdiately send his n out to rescue him. Instead, he invited Vincent into his mansion. With such a heartless father around, it was no wonder Dave had the idea of replacing him!
Soon, Vincent was led into the City Lord’s mansion. After passing through a long corridor and a large and exquisite courtyard, he entered a room that looked like a palace.
At that mont, the City Lord was not the only one in the room.
In front of a large table stood a tall Dark Elf with broad shoulders. He was standing with his back facing Vincent. On his left and right stood two more Dark Elves. One of them was the general who had brought Vincent over whilst the other was an old acquaintance of Vincent’s. It was the leader of the guards, Miller!
After seeing that the City Lord in front of him did not take the initiative to question him, Vincent took the initiative to say, “Reporting to the City Lord, His Highness is in imminent danger. Please send help imdiately!”
Andre, who had his back facing Vincent, turned around and berated him with a face full of disdain, “Hmph! Even if I buy a set of Elf King’s remains, I will still be hunted down. This kind of trash is considered my son?”
Vincent finally saw Andre’s face. His face was clean and different from that of the other Dark Elves. He had a thick beard, and his dark eyes were even more profound. It was as if there were two black holes surrounded by black gas.
Vincent’s first impression of Andre was that he was tall, cold, cruel, and brutal. It was not surprising that such a creature could beco an apostle of Gajero!
Vincent even thought of assassinating Andre for a mont, but after observing for a while, he had no choice but to give up.
This was because the two Dark Elves that were guarding Andre had the strength of a level 40 creature. Plus, Andre was definitely stronger than them. If he fought against any one of them, he might still have a fighting chance but if it was one-on-three, Vincent was not confident that he would succeed.
Moreover, the most important thing at the mont was to call for help. Vincent could only lower his head and say, “His Highness did not leak his own whereabouts or his identity. After he received the Elf King’s remains, he wanted to rush back and offer it to the City Lord as soon as possible. However, the son of the High Priest, David, was at the auction site. It was also him who leaked His Highness’s identity and whereabouts to the others, causing His Highness to be trapped in Hell’s Rose!”
When Andre heard that Dave intended to offer the Elf King’s remains to him, his ruthless face instantly revealed a hypocritical smile. He shouted, “That d*mn David, how dare he fra my son? I will tear him into pieces!”
Vincent stood silently in his spot, laughing coldly in his heart. Andre was really a man who would not give up until he saw the rabbit appear before him. He had to hear that Dave was going to offer up the Elf King’s remains to him before he was willing to acknowledge his own son. What a good father!
Andre turned his head and said, “Miller! You failed to protect my son today. Now, follow to rescue him and atone for your sins!”
Miller hurriedly replied, “Yes!”
Andre raised his head to look at Vincent and asked, “Since Dave is hiding in Hell’s Rose, he should be safe right now, right?”
Vincent shook his head and said with a worried expression, “There are many assassins that have infiltrated Hell’s Rose. His Highness is not safe. Moreover, there is only one exit in Hell’s Rose. Once His Highness encounters any danger in the ground, he will definitely fall into a situation where he cannot escape!”
“Then what are you waiting for? Quickly go and save my son!”
Andre roared loudly. He then transford into a black wind and took the lead to rush out of the room.
