Capítulo 899: Chapter 814: Citizens Driven to Madness
Regarding the Old Demon Clan Faction, Shane’s disgust had reached its peak, and he was fed up beyond asure.
Those people, at best, could be called a terrifying underground organization. At worst, they were a bunch of delusional individuals, treating their so-called goals as ideals, willing to ignore anyone’s feelings and even life itself, causing harm to others by any ans to achieve their purposes, like flies.
Shane couldn’t count how many tis he had been dragged into unnecessary situations because of them, or even targeted by those people multiple tis.
Even Moro had intricate connections with the [Primordial Demon], and it was the [Mirage], that Old Demon Clan Faction, who plotted against Lilith back then. Adding to that the [Slaughterer Faction], the culprit of various tragedies in the Royal Capital ten years ago, Laischa and Tielle’s life paths had been greatly altered due to the actions of the Old Demon Clan Faction. They kept doing these detestable things.
Shane was a grudging person who had already noted down these grievances one by one.
Therefore, when in the Demon Realm, Shane decided to capture Gold alive, hoping to extract information about the Old Demon Clan Faction from him.
Unfortunately, Gold was rcilessly discarded and disappeared without a trace.
This matter actually still bothered Shane a lot.
As a result, upon returning to the Royal Capital, Shane learned that those guys had taken action against the Beizut Family while he was away.
Could Shane possibly let this go?
He ca today to resolve his engagent issues firstly, and secondly, to look into the situation of the Old Demon Clan Faction.
He couldn’t wait to settle the score, so he wouldn’t miss any chance to obtain information.
Shane’s thought was that if he couldn’t interrogate Gold, or gain sothing from him, then he would start interrogating from this side.
According to Shane, within the Old Demon Clan Faction that invaded the Beizut Family, there was a mber with quite a substantial level, as high as Level 88, almost reaching Legendary Level.
A master like this must hold a significant position within their faction.
Even if they couldn’t match up to an envoy like Gold, they shouldn’t be inferior to a typical envoy.
Such a captive might really reveal sothing.
Of course, the premise is that the other party is a mber of the [Primordial Demon].
The Old Demon Clan Faction doesn’t consist of only the group of [Primordial Demons]; there are various other large and small forces.
If the other party isn’t an envoy of [Primordial Demon], but a mber of another Old Demon Clan Faction, even if Shane asks about [Primordial Demon], they probably won’t have any answers.
For this, Shane asked Luoqi a question.
“Which faction does that group of captured Old Demon Clan mbers belong to?”
Shane hoped that they were part of [Primordial Demon].
The reason was simple; the mbers of [Primordial Demon] were the most hateful and the greatest threat.
But…
“I told you, we couldn’t get anything out of them,” Luoqi said helplessly. “Those few guys intended to commit suicide, but the ones responsible for watching them discovered it in ti and stopped them, so they were kept alive.”
A group of Old Demon Clan mbers like this, no matter how you interrogate them, nothing cos out.
A group of fanatics unafraid of death, how could you possibly get anything out of them through interrogation?
“We even employed people with Spiritual skills or magic to ntally interfere with them, trying to hypnotize or control their minds, but their willpower was shockingly fierce, making it impossible to control,”
Luoqi sat up, smoothing her hair while speaking to Shane.
“Of course, if we forcibly break through, there’s a way. But before extracting any information, the other party would turn into an idiot.”
In that state, they would feel relieved instead.
Because becoming an idiot ans they can’t say anything.
“Hence, the interrogation process remains at a standstill without progress,” Luoqi looked at Shane and asked, “Do you have any ideas?”
Shane pondered for a mont.
Ideas… there was indeed one.
“I know a person who can accurately make those guys’ inner selves succumb, exposing everything about themselves completely, obeying her every command.”
Shane instantly thought of that demon.
“Who?”
Luoqi didn’t expect this and hurriedly asked.
Just as Shane was about to speak, a panicked voice echoed from outside, reaching Shane and Luoqi’s ears.
“Your Highness!”
It seed to be the voice of a female knight.
“What happened? Why so panicked!”
Luoqi imdiately collected her expression, put on a stern face, masking her true nature, and inquired coldly.
But this did not calm the female knight’s voice.
“Sothing big has happened on the streets!” the female knight urgently shouted. “His Majesty the King and Lady Liya sent soone to ask Lord Beizut to take to the streets before the situation gets out of hand!”
Upon hearing this, Shane and Luoqi exchanged glances, seeing a hint of surprise in each other’s eyes.
“?”
Shane was full of confusion, completely clueless.
Why involve him?
Isn’t this nonsensical?
Thinking it over, Shane still stood up.
“Let’s go see what’s happening,”
After hearing Shane’s words, Luoqi imdiately stood up as well.
“I’ll go too,”
Luoqi was no longer being lazy.
Perhaps she was also concerned about the situation?
Shane didn’t refuse, simply nodding.
In the next second, without any hesitation, the two left the room.
…
Royal Capital, Southeast District, Comrcial Street.
This was once a scene of prosperity.
Due to the Kingdom being famously known in the Human Realm as a major producer of magic potions, the comrcial district in the Royal Capital has always been the first stop for visitors and a frequent destination for local citizens.
So co for stocking goods, so for shopping, so are adventurers, others are rchants, and so are employed staff, making it one of the most bustling areas in the Royal Capital on an ordinary day.
Especially now, with the Three Clans Conference approaching, important figures from around the world are flocking into the Royal Capital, bringing countless business opportunities.
Thus, over these days, the hustle and bustle around the comrcial district has been growing day by day, as crowded as if festivals were held every day, fully showcasing what it ans to have a sea of people.
But, the chaos and clamor presented in today’s comrcial district can no longer be compared to before.
It should no longer be called bustling, but rather chaos.
“Hit them! Beat them to death!”
“Don’t let them escape!”
“Who wants to escape!?”
“Do you think we’d retreat!?”
“Dream on!”
A group of citizens, rchants, workers, and even noble figures seed to have gone mad, engaging in a collective brawl here.
So wield weapons, so lift tables and chairs, so bare fists, and others even raised magic wands and staffs, eyes filled with bloodlust, as if harboring deep vendettas against each other, all engaging in fights.
The scene was like a gang brawl, turning the whole street chaotic and bloody.
“Stop it!”
“Everyone, stop!”
“Are you rebelling!?”
“Stop this!”
The knights of the Kingdom Knights were rushing here, yelling and reprimanding loudly, trying to stop the frenzied people.
But their attempts only seed to worsen the chaos.
“Are you also trying to stop us?”
“We just want a glimpse of the Goddess!”
“Just a glimpse!”
“Why? Why stop us?”
“You noble lapdogs, do you want to hog the Goddess to yourselves?”
“Filthy noble dogs!”
“Don’t think you can always be so arrogant!”
“I’ve tolerated you long enough! Not today!”
“Co on! I’ll fight anyone that approaches! Kill if you can!”
Ordinarily law-abiding citizens seed to have truly gone mad, boldly confronting weapon-wielding Kingdom Knights of much higher rank. Recklessly, they charged at the knights.
The knights defended themselves and fought back, but they were overwheld by the frenzied citizens and couldn’t control the situation at all.
Eventually, the disturbance here completely alard the Royal Palace.
After understanding the cause, for so reason, the Royal Palace didn’t send anyone to intervene but summoned Shane directly.
Shane, along with Luoqi, used the ability of Instant Movent to appear in the area, stunned by the chaos in the streets.
“What… what is going on here?”
Luoqi was equally shocked.
No wonder.
She had never seen the people of the Royal Capital engaged in such frenzied and bloody brawls.
Shane was also sowhat confused, but then seed to sense sothing, he raised his head, looking in a particular direction.
There, a faint connection seed to spark in Shane’s mind.
This feeling…
“No way?”
Shane widened his eyes.
At this mont, Luoqi also snapped back from the shock.
“Boom!”
Without any hesitation, Luoqi unleashed her magic power.
The power rose like a pillar of Qi, able to pierce the skies, instantly generating a strong wave of air that swept across the entire comrcial district.
————!?
All those engaged in the frenzy and brawl suddenly froze, their faces drastically changing.
The knights who ca to stop the chaos also turned to look, faces pale.
Luoqi’s figure entered the eyes of everyone present.
“Everyone, stop!”
Luoqi’s cold voice spread swiftly, like the wind, reaching everyone’s ears.
The thunderous reprimand sobered up many people.
“Lo… Lady Luoqi?”
“It’s Lady Luoqi!”
“Princess!”
People were shocked and delighted, imdiately kneeling down one by one.
The chaos in the comrcial district was replaced by the orderly kneeling crowd, turning incredibly peaceful.
