Chapter 749: Departure

"The Villarreal Empire?"

The Villarreal Empire was a big level 8 empire from the Western Region of the Continent, and its nickname was [Yellow Submarine]. It was only less powerful compared to the two giant level 9 empires in the region, which were the Madrid Empire and the Barcelona Empire.

After many years of accumulation, it was one of the dominating forces in the region, and a small empire like Zenit couldn't rival with it.

No wonder this gloomy young man was very arrogant and acted according to his will. Fei had met a lot of people who came from big empires, and they all acted this way when they were in Zenit.

"The Villarreal Empire sent a fleet of merchant caravans to Zenit? When was this?" Fei was confused and thought, "Could it be that the Western Region of the Continent is so chaotic that they are reaching for the Northern Region?"

"We just arrived here this afternoon, and we are from the branch in Love Song City. This is Mr. Nihat's son, and Mr. Nihat is a level 8 manager in Soros' Merchant Group…" This Eight-Star Warrior quickly introduced themselves.

Love Song City was the Capital of the Villarreal Empire. Typically speaking, the branches in the capitals of empires were in control of all other branches within the same empire, and they had the most influence in that empire. Since Nihat was a level 8 manager in the Soros' Merchant Group, he was one of the influential figures in the group, and his status was supreme. Even the emperors of level 2 and level 3 empires would have to pay respect to people who were on his level.

Fei laughed and said, "So, he is only the son of a damn level 8 manager, and he dares to be this reckless? How dare he act this way in Chambord? Hehe, does he think that Chambord's Laws of the Twelve Tables are jokes?"

After saying that, he turned and looked at that gloomy young man.

Now, this young man finally realized that something was wrong. Seeing how miserable his guard was, he knew that he ran into trouble. However, he was neither anxious nor afraid. He kept his composure and stared at Fei with a mocking smile on his face while threatening lights flashed in his eyes.

"Go back and inform the representative from your branch that this young master of yours will be executed tomorrow morning as soon as the first dash of sunlight shines on the Peak of East Mountain. He disturbed the market's order, harassed a lady, allowed his subordinate to attack others, attempted to commit murder, and disrespected the king. According to the laws of Chambord, anyone who commits these five offenses will be punished with the death penalty."

After saying that, Fei waved his hand and made the pressure that this Eight-Star Warrior was feeling go away.

Even though this warrior was able to move freely now, he was astonished by what he heard. He thought, "This man knows that Young Master is the son of Manager Nihat, but he is still this rule-abiding? Is he crazy?"

However, he didn't dare to say anything. Even if he tried to defend his young master, he would just die. The difference in strength between them was just too big.

Since his opponent asked him to go and report, he knew that he was spared. He wasn't in the place to worry about if there were still room to negotiate. If he wanted to save his young master's life, he had to go and find the decision maker from the branch who came on this trip.

That Eight-Star Warrior turned around and was about to leave.

However, after he took two steps, he turned back around and asked as if he suddenly remembered something, "Sir… Who are you?"

With a smile on his face, Fei turned around and winked at the four guards who were beaten up. Then, he turned back and said, "I'm King Alexander."

The Eight-Star Warrior was a bit surprised, but he nodded and didn't say anything. He then hand-signaled that gloomy young man, telling him to be patient as he was going to get help.

Then, he went down the stairs and left quickly.

Now, those four guards who were all bruised were shocked.

They looked at each other and saw the surprise and embarrassment in each other's eyes.

"So, the little white face whom we thought is reckless and dares to steal the King of Chambord's woman is the king himself. This…" They weren't too afraid since they knew that the King of Chambord wasn't going to do anything, but that impatient guard who said those words to Fei earlier was blushing.

Soon, the bylaw enforcement officers of Chambord received the report from the workers in the shop, and they quickly dashed over and arrested that gloomy young man.

The administrative system was very clean under the king's strict monitoring, and the Justice Department of Chambord was extremely efficient. Since this case was something that the king was personally involved in, the process was even smoother. Chambord's prison, [Little Black Room], had already reserved the most central cell for this gloomy and arrogant young man.

"You will regret this, Little King! You won't know how you will be killed before tomorrow morning!"

This gloomy young man wasn't scared at all, and he struggled and threatened the king with a burst of arrogant laughter that shouldn't belong to a prisoner.

…

Fei stayed in this shop for less than 30 minutes before leaving.

Jessica's cooking was great. She only prepared a few simple dishes, but they were all aromatic and delicious. However, Fei wasn't in the mood to feast anymore. He ate enough to get rid of his hunger, and he chatted with the girl for a while. Then, the king walked out of the shop under the passionate escort of the four guards who were saved by him.

The arrival of the fleet of merchant caravans from the Villarreal Empire made Fei sense something strange.

Divisions of Soros' Merchant Group in the high-level empires would rarely send people to a small place like Zenit.

"Why did a fleet of merchant caravans from the division of Soros' Merchant Group in the Villarreal Empire come here? Even the son of a level 8 manager is here. This is a bit strange," Fei thought to himself.

Fifteen minutes later, a cute blond boy who looked 12 years old but had a strong smell of liquor on him walked into Jessica's shop. He had a pair of big, watery eyes, and it was enough to get any girl to hug him and rub his cheeks.

"My name is Arthur, and the king recommended me here to do temporary work." The boy put on a pitiful expression and said to Jessica, "Pretty Sister, Arthur can't even get enough food to eat and good clothes to wear. I also don't have a job, and others make fun of me. You will keep me, right?"

This boy's cute and naïve appearance with his pitiful expression was enough to charm any female. Since Jessica was very nice and kind, she was no exception.

"Wait, have I seen you before?" Jessica stared at Arthur in doubt.

She suddenly thought back to the little blond boy who almost bankrupted her pub at Dual-Flags City. That boy created an uproar in the city and defeated all the alcoholics in their best games. However, that kid dashed through the walls and disappeared, and Jessica didn't know where he went.

The kid in front of her was just as cute as that boy, but the facial features such as the eyes and nose were different.

Undead Bone Dragon Arthur blinked and denied, "You must have remembered it wrong. A cute boy like me is one of a kind in this world."

Jessica nodded and didn't continue asking questions.

Since this boy was recommended to her by the king and had a token from the king, Jessica would keep this boy even though her suspicion grew. In addition, she could tell that Arthur didn't have any ill intentions.

Night soon enveloped Chambord City.

The number of people on the street decreased. The Moon shined even brighter, and its light merged with the lights from the magic street lights, dyeing the land a beautiful color. Those unsettled bugs kept on making noises late into the night, emphasizing the charm of the night.

At midnight when the stars and the Moon were about to fall asleep, more than 30 figures jumped out of the window of a luxury hotel in the city, and they dashed toward one direction in four to five groups like phantoms as it looked like they merged with the darkness.

Soon, a series of weapon-colliding noises sounded around Chambord's prison, [Little Black Room], and a series of sparks shined in the darkness. Then, it sounded like body parts were chopped off by sharp weapons, and the horrifying gasps of injured warriors resonated in the area. A few bright warrior energy flames were the most eye-catching at this moment in time, and they unleashed great power. However, they only lasted more than a few seconds and were extinguished.

This whole process only lasted about five minutes, and the area around [Little Black Room] quieted down after that.

At the same time, similar situations occurred in places such as the Administrative Center, the Head Minister's Estate, and Chambord's harbor. However, the endless darkness covered everything, and the citizens of Chambord who were in deep sleeps didn't notice what happened.

Around the shop of the Soros' Merchant Group in the center of Chambord City, more than a dozen figures approached in silence. However, these people heard the sneer of a kid before they could pull out their weapons, and a blond-haired boy who was as cute as an angel appeared in front of them.

Then, they didn't know what happened from that point on. There was an Eight-Star Warrior among them, but even he couldn't prevent anything.

…

The morning dew was still on the grass and flowers.

Before the sun completely rose over the horizon, the sky had already brightened.

In front of the execution ground of Chambord, a lot of people already gathered there. The execution clerk was announcing the verdict on a young prisoner according to Chambord's Laws of the Twelve Tables, and he was following the procedure that was set out in the laws.

Around him, Cygnus Bronze Saint Ed Hazard and his nine peers were keeping order and protecting the execution ground with 40 elite bylaw enforcement officers.

The young prisoner who was hearing the verdict had fear in his eyes.

At this moment, he still couldn't believe what was happening to him. He was struggling and trying to break free, and he shouted and cursed crazily as he questioned the two people below the stage who were like his subordinates.

"How dare you not try to save me? My father will kill you! Quick! Think of a way to rescue me! I don't want to stay in this barbaric place anymore! They are going to kill me! They are going to kill me for real!" the young man shouted desperately.

The man who was being questioned was in his fifties. With a gloomy expression, he shivered as he tried to explain with sweat all over his head, "Young Master, I have tried everything. I have four Eight-Star Warriors, three Nine-Star Warriors, and two Moon-Class Elites under me, and they were all sent out to save you. However…"

"I don't care! I don't want to die! You have to save me! Save me… You are lying! Bullsh*t! No one came to my rescue last night…" As the time for the execution approached, the young man got more and more terrified, and he shouted on top of his lungs.

"It is not that no one went to save you. Young Master, all those who went to save you were killed!" The mid-aged man replied with fear in his eyes as well, "All the 46 masters who came with us, including the two Moon-Class Elites, are all dead! They weren't able to even create a ripple. The Chambordians killed them all easily. The young man whom you offended yesterday was the King of Chambord, and he is… is already a Sun-Class Lord. Do you know what that means?"

After hearing that, this gloomy young man instantly quieted down as if he were electrocuted.

"How? How is that possible? How can there be such a powerful master in this remote and barbaric little city?" All kinds of emotions appeared on this young man's face, and it looked like he was desperate, resentful, fearful, and regretting his decisions.

However, after seeing the cold soldiers and their weapons, this young man got crazy again. He shouted, "I don't care! Tell my father! Tell him to send masters to come and save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die… The King of Chambord! How dare he try to kill me? How dare him? Is he crazy? He is a madman!"

The mid-aged man sighed, "I have already informed Mr. Nihat, but… it will take at least five days for people to come here from Love Song City… It is too late… Young Master, Master will… will avenge you. Please… please have a safe trip to the netherworld!" (Read on Noodletowntranslated.com)

…

Since it was early in the morning, not a lot of citizens of Chambord noticed this execution.

To many people, this was only an ordinary execution by hanging.

During these days, quite a few enemy spies and captives were killed. In fact, even several nobles of the Maze Empire and the Marse Empire were hung at this execution ground.

However, this execution was very significant to the people who knew what happened.

Only they knew what kind of status that this young man had.

This news traveled around rapidly in all directions in silence, and the influential figures who heard it were all shocked.

While this execution was happening, more than a dozen elite students of the Civil and Military University such as Louise, Pato, and Brand hopped onto the Reverse Whale Battleship, [King Alexander], at Chambord's harbor under the lead of the king's guard, Torres. These kids were all excited.

In the command center of the battleship, they met their king who had been waiting for them.

"Kids, are you ready?" Fei asked with a smile on his face, "This trip will be hard, and we might have to live in terrible conditions. In addition, it will be filled with danger!" (Read on Noodletowntranslated.com)

"We are ready, Principal! We have been ready for a long time! It is our honor to be able to follow you!" the students answered in excitement. They felt like they were fortunate to be picked to go on this journey around the Continent with their principal.

"Great! I hope that you won't regret your decision!" Fei nodded in satisfaction.

Soon, a series of water-fluttering noises sounded, and the huge Reserve Whale Battleship slowly left the harbor.

Then, blue energy flames flashed, and mechanical and magical protectors extended out of the deck and covered the entire ship. Like a huge whale, the ship submerged underwater quietly and only left a few swirls on the surface of the river.

Gradually, [King Alexander] disappeared into the water and left no trace behind.
