Chapter 31: Arriving
They were trying to keep their composure and not burst out laughing in front of the Patriarch of the Sacred Family.
"Hahaha!"
But it was impossible.
In the distance, a loud laughter echoed without much consideration.
Everyone looked towards the source and saw a group of six boys, with one of them covering the mouth of the one who was laughing uncontrollably.
It was none other than Li Piao.
"Do you want to die, you idiot?" Du Zhe wanted to kill Lu Piao.
As Spiritists in the Silver rank, their perception was much sharper, and as the Holy Orchid Institute wasn't too far from this place, the boys decided to see what was going on when they felt all the commotion.
Upon arrival, they saw a fierce battle in the sky.
They were worried that with this battle, the shop would be destroyed, but they were overthinking.
Not far from them, Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun were also hidden, or thought they were successfully hidden, as Ye Zhong had long felt the aura of his daughter and her friend.
Then his gaze fell on Shen Hong, who was completely haggard.
"Shen Hong, you are not allowed to touch this shop. Next time, it won't just be a warning." Putting aside the nonsense, Ye Zhong squinted at the scorched Shen Hong.
"Hmph." He just snorted and flew back to his mansion.
In his current condition, he didn't want to say many nonsense with Ye Zhong.
His subordinates also followed him quickly.
...
"Lord of the City, what was that thing that made Patriarch Shen Hong retreat?"
After seeing Shen Hong's silhouette disappear in the distance, Chen Zhenlong quickly stepped forward towards Ye Zhong.
He is the father of Chen Linjian.
Chen Zhenlong is a powerful and respected character in Glory City, especially for his combat ability.
As the patriarch of the Divine Family, he is responsible for leading and protecting his clan, which is one of the most powerful in Glory City. He is a fair and honorable man who cares deeply for his family and his people, and will do everything in his power to protect them.
Upon seeing this powerful weapon, his mind was a total mess. You must know that every year, Glory City is plagued by waves and waves of demon beasts, leaving it always weakened.
Huyan Xiong was equally impatient.
This weapon chased after Patriarch Shen Hong as if it had a mind of its own. And the explosion it made could easily kill a maximum Gold-rank Spiritist.
Even a newly ascended Black Gold-rank Spiritist or in the 1-star rank would have to be careful not to pass out from the impact.
If this thing were used against Demon Beasts, it would be an essential asset in the battle against the waves of Beasts.
Ye Zhong remained silent for a few seconds, also considering the impact this thing could bring to Glory City, and the many benefits.
"The boy is out for a few days, there's no point in thinking about it. When he returns, we can ask him." Ye Xiu saw his younger brother lost in thought and intervened.
He then turned to three guards under his command.
"You guys stay here for the rest of the night. Anyone with ill intentions towards the shop can be executed immediately." He said.
"Yes!"
Gradually, everyone left the place.
The boys also left, unaware of the punishment Ye Xiu had prepared for them for breaking the rules.
Of course, his niece and her friend wouldn't be spared either.
...
"Hahaha, hahaha, that's hilarious. I can make a meme out of this."
It was morning when Cao Fenguan observed the end of Shen Hong's battle through the security cameras.
On a tablet he bought from the shop.
Shen Hong would undoubtedly become bald, without eyebrows, beard, or mustache.
Everything scary about that old man would become a complete joke.
"What's so funny?"
Shen Xiu, who was quite radiant after a wild night, asked upon seeing Cao Fenguan laughing uncontrollably.
Feeling very curious about the small metallic square object in his hands.
"Look who this is." Cao Fenguan passed her the tablet.
"It's my brother!" Shen Xiu was bewildered. How could her brother appear on this small thing?
It's one thing to see a painting, which is not uncommon in Glory City, and another thing entirely to see the image moving in real-time.
"Haha, yeah, the Dark Guild tried to rob my shop last night, but their plan didn't work out well. Look, even your brother got a piece of the action. Hahaha, I can't handle this image." Cao Fenguan couldn't stop laughing.
Shen Xiu curiously took the tablet and touched it.
"How can my brother be inside this thing?" She said incredulously.
"No, he's not inside. It's just... let me explain. From here, you can see what's happening around the shop, like a surveillance system." Cao Fenguan tried to find the best way to explain it to Shen Xiu.
"Really?" Shen Xiu looked at Cao Fenguan with her eyes and mouth wide open.
Cao Fenguan smiled and closed her mouth.
"Could you observe all of Glory City with this?" Shen Xiu asked while examining the tablet, feeling strange as she didn't sense any spiritual power coming from it.
"I could, but I would need a satellite to see all of Glory City, even the entire continent. Unfortunately, it's something I can't afford at the moment."
"But everything comes with time. In the future, I will open an airline so people can travel all over the continent, even the Dragon Ruins Kingdom and the other principalities will become tourist centers." Cao Fenguan imagined this and lost himself in his thoughts.
Shen Xiu looked at him without understanding what he was talking about.
But she didn't pay attention either, as when Cao Fenguan became so determined, it made her extremely horny.
Just as she was about to pull him out of his thoughts, the coachman's voice sounded.
"Sir, we have arrived at our destination."
Upon hearing the man's voice, Cao Fenguan woke up from his dream.
The look on his face became serious and dignified, and he got out of the carriage with Shen Xiu by his side.
In the distance, he could see the complex that brought back so many memories.
