Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 484: A Restless Night

The Golden Sail Avenue was very quiet in the afternoon. It was hard to find pedestrians on the streets, and even carriages were rarely seen. At this time, the big shots who lived in these luxurious houses were usually already in their afternoon naps, and the streets were usually quiet at this time. It was so quiet that even a mosquito would find it ear-piercing if it flew past.

So when a shrill, angry, but childish voice sounded from the house at 7 Changjie. The servants in the mansion quickly shut the doors and windows to keep their voices to a minimum.

'"It's this dirty, sealess water again! How long are we going to stay here? I want to go back to Santa Trina and have Mograine turn the city into ruins!"

A beautiful girl with white hair and facial features was clenching her small fists. Her face was full of anger as she protested angrily in a spacious bathroom that was as spacious as a bedroom. If Alan was here, he would recognize this girl as the princess of the Naga clan, Lily.

Behind Lily was a bathtub about half the size of a pool. It was filled with clear spring water that was bought at a high price. It was covered in petals of various colors, causing the entire bathroom to be filled with a faint fragrance of flowers. The Nagas could go ashore and breathe on land, but they had to soak in water for more than two hours a day. Otherwise, their scales would fall off and they would die of dehydration.

Even Na Jia, who possessed extraordinary combat strength, could not avoid the natural needs of his body. Moreover, Lily was still a minor, and her combat strength was far from meeting the requirements of Transcendence.

The elders standing beside her smiled bitterly at each other. An older princess squatted down and comforted the angry princess, "Your Highness, if you call Mograine over, it would be equivalent to declaring war on humanity. If you are as wise as you, you naturally wouldn't do that, right?"

The elder had watched Lily grow up and understood her temperament the best. Sure enough, Lily snorted and nodded, "Of course, I was just joking. But Weaver, we've been here for three days. For three whole days, how long are we going to stay?"

The elder called Wei Fu coaxed the princess into entering while saying, "Your Highness Lily, you have to be patient." Although we know from those people that the one who wants the Spring of Immortality is the lord of the city, I don't think a count can call on the Ten Saints, Midian. "Even if Midian was ranked at the bottom of the Ten Saints, it was not something a local Earl could call upon."

"So behind the Bloody Count, there are people of a higher status who are controlling all of this. What we need to do is to find the person behind the scenes and pass his information to the royal family through some connections. The empire's royal family will handle this matter more appropriately than us. I know His Highness wants to settle the score with Eric, but he is only a piece on the surface at best. "A chess piece is not worth the noble Lily's personal attack," said Weaver with a smile.

Lily nodded her head and said, "Well, since you said so, let's do it. But I'm still a little unwilling not to give this damn Earl some trouble."

"So we're already here, aren't we? Once we get hold of them, we'll have to get the count to make some compensation." Weaver stood up and said, "The owner of this house, Taylor, is one of our spies in the empire. After so many years of operation, he already has quite a bit of influence here. With him helping us out, His Highness Lily doesn't have to go anywhere and just waits here to watch the show."

Only then did Lily reveal a smile. Seeing the smile on her face, the other elders heaved a sigh of relief. Lily said, "Then I'll take a bath." Then she sank into the pond. With a swing of her flexible body, she took off all the clothes on her body, revealing her green body. Her entire body was soaked in water, and the scales on her body gradually became glossy. Later on, it was as if it would shine, reflecting a wave of light and scales on the water of the pond.

Wei Fu gestured and left the bathroom with the other elders. After they walked out of the bathroom, an elder's expression darkened and he said, "Taylor's operation may not be going smoothly. He found out last night that someone from Blood Castle was following him. It won't be long before the count finds out that we're in his territory."

"So what? Does he still dare to attack this place?" The third elder said coldly.

"Perhaps humans are famous for their madness. And this Bloody Count is not a kind person. But there's no need to worry too much. After all, we have a special status. Even if this Count wants to silence us or capture us, he doesn't dare to do anything big. He will only send out elite experts. Unless a Duke of Strength makes a move, we don't need to be afraid." Wei Fu waved his hand and said, "However, the strength of the guards still needs to be strengthened. His Highness Prince Lily's safety must not be compromised."

"I'll bring the Azure Dragon Knights over."

Weaver nodded in agreement.

It was night, and two figures came out of the Green Calyx Hotel. They walked through a side alley, and outside the alley a few men were either standing or squatting, chatting. After seeing the two of them pass by, a bald man inside gave them a look. One of the men with a sharp look nodded and left. He ran across the street and followed the two people from before. However, this person's tracking ability was not bad. Occasionally, he would advance and sometimes fall behind, as if he was close to the two of them. If it wasn't for his intentions, it would be hard to find him.

The baldy led the others across several streets and into a bar. Dick was teasing a woman at the bar. The bald man walked over and whispered, "Boss, the man and woman have appeared. I'm letting the skinny monkey follow them."

"Good job. Go, call the brothers. I'll see where they hide this time."

When the baldy turned around, Dick grabbed the woman's chest and said with a smile, "Wait for me to come back, baby, let me take good care of you tonight."

The woman pushed him and said, "Don't just talk nice. If you really intend to serve me, then I won't do anything tonight. I'll see what you do."

"Alright, I'll let you scream enough." Dick left the bar with a blunt sentence. As soon as he stepped out of the bar, he looked like a different person with a fierce look in his eyes. At this time, twenty to thirty men ran over from the street. When passers-by saw this, they ran far away.

"Follow me, everyone. See that dog couple. Fight to the death, man. You girls can play whatever you want. It's best if everyone goes. Kill that bitch for me!" Dike shouted.

The men agreed loudly. They were about to set off when a skinny man ran out of an alley. "Big Brother Dick, the skinny monkey said that the couple of dogs are heading for Golden Sail Street," he said, panting as he ran to Dick's side.

"Golden Sail Street?" Dick frowned. That was not the place for a rough guy like him to go. Golden Sail Street was protected by the Count, and no matter who caused trouble on that long street, they would not be able to finish it. Dyke immediately said, "Tell the other brothers to stop them at Golden Sail Avenue. Don't let them run in."

As he walked through a gravel-paved alley, Belmond stopped. Kira also stopped and looked back. The streets at the back were quiet. Under the dim yellow streetlights, only a few shops were still lit. Kira whispered, "There are a few rats following us."

"I found them from the moment I left the hotel." Belmond chuckled.

Kira cut her throat, "Should we get rid of them?"

"No, it just so happens that they can come in handy. For example, if someone chases them and accidentally runs into the seventh mansion, it seems understandable for the owner to ask." Belmond blinked.

Kira pursed her lips and smiled, "Then let's go. I guess there will be more and more rats."

"More is more lively, and the commotion is bigger."

As expected, not long after, the two of them discovered that more and more people were following behind them. Moreover, they didn't hide anymore and stabbed behind the two of them. At the houses on both sides of the road, the curious man was watching from behind the window. The woman immediately pulled him back and closed the curtains. The atmosphere on the road was oppressive, but Belmore and the others did not quicken their pace. They continued to walk towards the direction of Golden Sail Avenue at a constant speed.

Just as they turned a street corner, the two of them stopped. There were at least twenty men blocking the road in front of them. Adding on the dozen men behind them, they blocked the two of them in the middle of the road.

A person walked out in front, his face appearing under the light. It wasn't Dick who else. He spat at the two of them and scolded, "Run, let's see where you're going this time. Let alone that I didn't give you a chance, the man took off one of his arms and the woman followed me obediently. I'll pretend that didn't happen."

Belmond raised his head and his gaze fell on Dick's file. "You're so forgetful. Forget it in the morning," he said. "Now you're here again. Careful that you chop that thing off this time and don't cause any trouble in the future. Speaking of which, you have to thank us."

"Bullshit!" "I've changed my mind. Everyone," Dyke scolded angrily. "Cut the man and catch the woman. Do whatever you want."

With a wave of his hand, Dyke's men rushed towards the two of them. Belmond winked and both of them retreated at the same time. Qila pulled out her sword from her back and charged at the man behind her like flowing clouds and flowing water. The blade of the sword was folded in the light of the lamp. The men's eyes were almost unable to open because of the sword's light. They could only casually wave the sword in their hands, but Qila slammed them to the ground one by one.

Belmond flashed through the crowd like a ghost, then dragged Kira's hand and ran in the opposite direction. The man who passed by him suddenly broke his belt and his trousers immediately slipped down, revealing his black-haired thighs.

"Idiot!" Dyke cursed and shouted, "Chase after me. Don't let the dog couple escape."

The streets became lively, and the sounds of twenty or thirty people running together could be heard from several streets away. Belmond and the others led them rampaging through the streets, making Dick and the others dizzy. Not even the local snakes noticed that Belmore was quietly leading them to the direction of Golden Sail Avenue.

Not far from Golden Sail Avenue, a carriage also headed in the direction of the Avenue. The carriage quickly brushed past a group of patrolling guards. The guard captain frowned, but when he saw the signs on the carriage, he shrugged helplessly.

"Captain, who is that? If you dare to run in the street like this, you are not afraid of bumping into someone." A soldier complained.

The captain said slowly, "Shut up. That's Mr. Taylor's car. Do you have the guts to stop him?"

The soldier stuck out his tongue and said, "I can't afford to offend any of those big shots who live on Golden Sail Avenue."

"Just you? You don't even have the qualifications to offend others, do you?" The other soldiers teased their colleagues.

At this moment, the soldier's head suddenly rang out. The captain raised his head and saw a few shadows flashing across the houses on both sides of the street under the lights. From the looks of it, it was as if he was chasing after Taylor's carriage.

The soldier who complained before immediately said, "Captain, should we rush over? Mr. Taylor seems to be in danger."

"Idiot, you are in a hurry to die. Even though he knew that it was Mr. Taylor's carriage, he still dared to do something wrong. Think about it with your head. Will anyone who dares to do this be afraid of our city guards? Maybe we're just putting our lives on the line. Besides, that's Mr. Taylor. He won't have any expert guards around him. "You should stay out of the affairs of these big shots, if you want to live longer," the guard captain scolded.

Tonight was destined to be a troubled night. Not long after the night pedestrians left, the soldiers heard someone shouting loudly. The captain frowned and scolded, "What's going on? Let's go over and take a look."

The soldiers below him were well-informed. Someone said, "Probably Dick and the others. I heard that he was taught a lesson by a woman in a bar this morning. This fellow said something ruthless and wanted to teach these outsiders a good lesson."

"Then there's no need to make such a big commotion. Damn it, if they continue to make trouble, we'll have to receive countless complaints tomorrow." The captain snorted and said, "Let's go and see what this bastard Dick is up to. We can't take care of big shots. I don't see a little guard captain in my eyes!"

The sound of the carriage wheels rolling over the road stones could be heard from afar in the street, and there were two people sitting in the carriage. A man and a woman, the middle-aged man's face was solemn, and he wore a brush dress. His carefully groomed beard made him look even more dignified. He was Taylor, one of the Naga Clan's agents on the ground. The woman sitting opposite him was wrapped in a linen cloak. The back of her bare hands was covered with pale blue scales. It was obvious that this woman was not a human, but a mutant.

This was an Azure Dragon Knight. The Azure Dragon Knight was a Royal Guard, and each of them had a level of 15. There weren't many of them, less than a hundred of them. Compared to the tens of thousands of guards of the empire's royal family, it was insignificant. However, the quality of these guards was something that even the Duke could hardly bring out. The Azure Dragon Knight said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Here they come."
