Chapter 1093 Whimsical Wonderland
Jingmei Guild, Lenz City. Keith was working in her office as usual. Her devilishly beautiful face had glaring dark circles and she seemed quite tired while scribbling things on the papers. At this moment, a woman with slanted eyebrows walked in, wearing red high heels. She was Hei, the communicator between Keith and the guild staff of Jingmei Guild. Whenever Hei arrived, Keith would feel a headache as she did not appear without reasons. Only when something major would happen would Hei come to meet her. Lately, it has been happening often. Hei held a few files in her arms and gave a deep bow of respect to Keith. "President, there"s trouble… again."
"Of course there is." Keith was irritated, but didn"t show it on her face. "What is it this time?" Hei placed the files in her hands onto Keith"s desk and said, "The FAA members wanted to take a break from fighting the WAA. They collectively decided to go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park in Uklov, undercover, and have fun. However, the WAA got this information and are about to send a team of skilled personnel to wipe out our members once and for all." Keith propped her elbows on the desk and interlocked her fingers. She sighed and placed her forehead on her fingers, trying to contemplate the situation. "Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath." Keith chanted to herself.
Idiots. There were literal idiots in her organization. What did they think would happen if they pulled out such a move? What were they even expecting!?
Keith had a lot of such thoughts and was trying her best to stay sane. She was a really patient person. Extremely so. Her past had shaped her into such a being. However, years after becoming a president of this organization, Keith realized just how stupid people were. These morons couldn"t get a single thing right and were adept at dying at the hands of the experienced members of the WAA. If Keith was allowed to use her strength, she would"ve long solved the situation. But being asked to use her brains, things were starting to get on her nerves. Hei, watching the President"s tired expression, cleared her throat and said, "President, the issue is big, but not as difficult to solve."
Keith raised her head and looked at Hei with tired eyes. Getting the lady"s attention, Hei continued, "You once mentioned that you cannot meddle directly. This means that you can do it indirectly, right? If that"s the case, President, you should visit the amus.e.m.e.nt park."
"Visit the park?" Keith asked. Hei nodded her head. "You will get a small break from the hectic schedule while you"re there. It"s going to be relaxing. While on this vacation, all the President has to do is keep the WAA and FAA members separated. I"m sure that with your skills, it"ll be a cakewalk."
Keith pondered over it. She did not know how one could relax in an amus.e.m.e.nt park, and also had no idea what this amus.e.m.e.nt park was. As it was Hei that was suggesting it, she considered going there. She really needed a small break but was chained to this office as she had to manage the entire FAA. However, if she went to this park, she would still be working and also get to relax and have a breath of fresh air. It didn"t seem that bad all of a sudden. "How much of my time will be consumed there?" Keith asked.
"Two days at best." Hei replied immediately. "Everyone had scheduled their vacation for two nights, so if nothing went wrong, President can be back at office after that."
"Okay." Keith replied. This seemed to be a good time to wind down and relax. "When are they leaving?"
Hei took out her phone from her s.p.a.ce ring and checked the time. "…in about thirty minutes."
"…"
Keith was dumbfounded. "Thirty minutes? They"re going today?" Hei nodded her head. "They made this plan last night in a hurry. The WAA is really quick to respond to such an emergency situation."
Keith rubbed her temples. "What a headache!"
She had pending work and had to finish it by today, but if she did not leave now, she wouldn"t be able to have a break again. It was truly a disaster. "President, we should hurry. If we do not reach that place on time, I"m afraid that our members would be killed mercilessly."
"Tsk." Keith clicked her tongue and got up. She grabbed long coat and said, "Let"s leave then."
…..
Uklov, Neutral Continent. It was a warm yet cold morning in Uklov. It was winter yet the city was bustling with activities. Lith and Arya, hand-in-hand, stopped in front of a majestic colorful arch that had giant letters etched on it that read:
WHIMSICAL WONDERLAND This was the name of the amus.e.m.e.nt park they had just arrived at. The arch was the entry gate and it was said that walking inside would lead them to a whole new world. "Shall we?" Lith asked his wife. The two had purple bands on their wrists and a rectangular stamp on the area between their thumb and index fingers. The audacity to mark something on a royalty would result in getting beheaded, and to avoid that, the amus.e.m.e.nt park had other measures. They had vvip programs in which they provided the people with tokens and gave them unrestricted access to all places. They also gave them a guide and security so that normal people won"t mess with them and get killed.
The Vampire Prince and the Ruler of Underworld were together in this place. They bought the most expensive tickets a normal person could buy and did not bother to get the vvip treatment. It would just freak everybody out and put the amus.e.m.e.nt park on high alert. No one could enjoy their time here due to them. It was in everyone"s best interest and hence, the two were walking inside the gates like commoners. "Hahahaha! Finally! I finally get to be free!"
Lith and Arya heard loud cheerful noises behind them. They ignored it and continued to walk on the cobblestone pavement decorated with lush green vines. "It was the correct decision to be here! I am glad we did it!" Someone said behind Lith and Arya. A large group of men and women were talking loudly and having a fun time behind them. They were dressed in casual clothing with sun hats and shades to accessorize themselves. Lith wore an open white shirt with pink floral patterns on it along with white shorts and shoes. Inside the shirt was a white tank top and his eyes were covered by sungla.s.ses while his hair breezed freely above his head. Arya wore a white t-shirt that clung perfectly to her body, blue ripped denim jeans that showed some of her skin on her legs, and had a pink shirt wrapped around her waist along with a pink hat and her usual opaque sungla.s.ses. The two"s outfits were matching and anyone could tell that they were a couple. Lith and Arya held hands and were enjoying the area they were walking at. This was a long tunnel that would lead them to a different dimension where the amus.e.m.e.nt park was actually located. "Hahaha, and then, and then— hahahaha!"
b.u.mp!
"—ohhh!"
A man with his fits of laughter b.u.mped into Lith accidentally. Lith turned his head to the side to look at him, and being a domineering, tall man with visible signs of being a warrior, the man laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "My apologizes." The man said and went back to talking with his group of friends. Lith ignored the bearded guy and began conversing with Arya. "Hahaha, and that day, Ivan actually slipped and broke his legs!" Someone behind Lith said with a jolly tone. "Hahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Their group went into relentless laughter and in the midst of this, the bearded man that had previously hit Lith b.u.mped into Arya. "Haha— Ahh! My apologies. My sincere apologies!" The man began bowing and said. Arya looked at him for a second, then ignored him like how Lith had done before. The man got a way out once again and continued to chat with his group of friends. "I"m wondering whether we should"ve taken that vvip pa.s.s." Lith said.
Arya shook her head. "This feels more private and intimate. I wouldn"t want dudes to be roaming around me while I"m on a date with you."
"Fair." Lith nodded. He then looked in the front and saw a long line. "But look at this. It"ll take us a solid ten minutes to even enter the park."
"That"s fine. We get to talk more in that period." Arya said and laughed. Not even a minute has pa.s.sed with their conversation starting when the bearded man from before"s laughter was heard again. "Hahahaha! Ivan is way too funny! Hahahaha—"
b.u.mp!
The man b.u.mped into Arya once again. Thinking he"ll get away with it, he took a step back and said with a smile, "My apolog—"
BURST!
Arya slapped the man and made his entire body burst, not giving him another chance to speak. The explosion was contained and the blood and flesh didn"t splatter around. A core was in front of Arya and it was the last piece of what remained of that man. If this was left alone, he would regenerate and come back to life. CRACK. CRACK. CRACCKKKKK!
Arya gripped the core in her hand, making cracks form, and eventually her fist tight, turning the core to dust. As everyone heard the sound, they gasped in horror and looked at Arya as if she was a monster. "W, w, what!?"
"What just happened?!?"
"Oh. My. G.o.d. Did someone kill Joquill?"
"What the f.u.c.k…"
"s.h.i.t there"s an enemy here! Everyone get into position!"
The entire group took a defensive stance and stared at Lith and Arya vigilantly. Lith sighed and shook his head. "People just can"t stop courting death, can they?"
