Chapter 1482 1482
Long Chen was sitting in a bar with Xun when a group of people barged inside; all dressed in Royal Clothes. Seeing the special-looking symbols on their chests, Long Chen felt as if they were Royals; however, there was something very odd about them.
Why were so many people from the Royal City here? What was happening in this city? Was it just a stop for them? This also gave him a possibility of why the guard outside was not shocked to see someone like him who looked like a Royal. If so many Royals were already in the city, it was certainly less surprising when one more appeared.
Long Chen glanced towards Xun, frowning.
Xun gestured for him to stay silent and not do anything stupid.
Long Chen could only roll his eyes. He wasn"t an idiot who couldn"t see such basic things. Lucifer found a table with only three chairs on the side. Only one man was sitting at the table. Instead of focusing on the Royals, he kept his focus on the mission at hand, which was to find more about this place and the way to get to the Royal City without being caught.
The treasures he needed to heal his soul had a better chance of being found in the Royal City, which had more resources.
"May I sit here?" Lucifer asked the man who was sitting alone at the table drinking, using the language tips from Long Tian.
The man looked up, observing Long Chen and Xun. His eyes stayed on Xun more though, as he licked his lips.
"Please sit."
Long Chen took the seat, sitting on the left of the man. Xun also slid her chair closer to Long Chen and farther from that man.
The man"s drunk eyes remained at Xun.
"I am Long Chen, and this is Xun." Long Chen introduced the two of them before he brought his lips closer to Xun.
The conversation and the translation were time-consuming, so he wanted Xun to ask the question. The man also seemed only interested in her.
"Xun, you ask him the questions and engage him in a conversation. Ask him about the Royal City mainly," he whispered in the ears of Xun before he sat straight.
On the other hand, the six Royals walked to the table at the center, which was the biggest table in the bar. The seventh Royal and to get some bottles.
Everyone sat down around the table, which only had six chairs. However, none of them seemed worried as to where the seventh person was going to sit.
The seventh Royal soon returned with a couple of wine bottles and placed them on the table. Without saying a single word, he turned around and went to the nearest table.
The table closest to him happened to be none other than the same table on which Long Chen was standing.
The rest of the Royals looked toward their friend as if they were going to have a show. They knew what the seventh in their group was like. He didn"t like talking at all and only did what he wanted.
Xun tried to engage the man in light conversion, talking about where she came from, making up a story. She even praised the looks of the man.
Long Chen had his focus towards the two of them even though he couldn"t understand what they were talking about. Long Tian was like his saving grace, translating word to word. Hearing about the story that Xun made, Long Chen couldn"t help but smile.
Unfortunately, his smile was soon going to disappear. The seventh Royal held the back of his chair and suddenly pulled without thinking twice. The man started leaving.
As the chair was suddenly pulled, even Long Chen was stunned. His body dropped to the ground. He didn"t even have time to prepare himself as his head hit the ground. Fortunately, after all his cultivation, his head was very strong now.
Long Chen rubbed the back of his head, lying on the ground. The laughter of many reached his ears, coming from not far. It was the Royals who were laughing at Long Chen"s fall. Soon, more people joined in. Before long, the entire hall was laughing at Long Chen except for Xun.
Long Chen bit his lower lip in anger, trying to control himself. He already had a short temper nowadays, and on top of that, this was really pus.h.i.+ng it. Briefly, a thought even crossed his head about slaughtering everyone who was in the room. Unfortunately, he remembered that he couldn"t use his Laws, and without them, it was risky to attract too much attention. Long Tian was also telling him the same thing.
Long Chen stood up without revealing his hands and glanced back at the group of seven, trying to find who had pulled his chair.
He noticed the man who had nabbed the chair from him. The man placed the chair with the group and sat down without even looking back.
Long Chen took a deep breath before he turned his back on the group as well.
One of the six Royals watched Long Chen turn. There was still a playful look on their faces. One of the six laughed out loudly. "These weak ones will always be the dust below our feet. Such cowards, let alone fighting, can"t even speak before us, no matter what we do."
"Hey, why would they? You think they are idiots? Even they know that if they offended us, we wouldn"t only kill them but their seven generations. It"s not surprising." His friend lazily responded.
Their words fell in the ears of Lucifer, who ignored these as well as he kept his focus on Xun and the conversation. He needed his answers first.
"Man, he doesn"t even look back. I don"t know why but he seems too arrogant somehow as if he isn"t even worth his attention," a Royal muttered, frowning. "I don"t like it at all."
"Why don"t you make it something you"ll like?" Another man responded, chuckling. "You are free to do whatever you want. Who can stop you today?"
Under the influence of his friends, the red-haired Royal decided to take action.
"You!" He called out to Long Chen.
Long Chen ignored his words. The man was telling Xun the way to the Royal City. Apparently the Royal City wasn"t very far.
"I"m talking to you!" The Royal called out again, but even now, Long Chen ignored him. His anger was already above his head. He knew that if he looked at those faces again, he was going to lose control.
The Royal had never felt as insulted as he was now. Smacking the table, he stood up and walked to Long Chen.
