Chapter 134: Chapter 133 Revenge
“However, it turned out that destiny isn’t so easy to change, he had no talent as a wizard.”
“But at that time, White Stone Tower gave him a second choice, which was to serve White Stone Tower secretly, and in return, he would receive a certain reward.”
“At first, he wanted to refuse, but after hearing the amount of the reward from White Stone Tower, he embarrassingly accepted it. By his current standards, the amount wasn’t much, but back then, he was really in need of money.”
“So, he became ambiguously tied to White Stone Tower.”
“He had hoped that with good performance, maybe he could actually enter White Stone Tower. But after decades, he had given up that hope, especially after learning about some recent events, which really scared him.”
“There were actually people targeting those from White Stone Tower? There were people constantly attacking families associated with White Stone Tower?”
“Would they come after him?”
“Although his identity was very secretive, it had been several decades, and there was a chance that it had leaked…”
“Thinking so, the elderly man’s eyes widened even more when suddenly he heard a noise outside the door.”
“Who?” the elderly man instinctively shouted.”
“It’s me.” A moment later, a voice came from behind him.”
The elderly man turned sharply and saw a man concealed in a black robe standing quietly behind him.”
The elderly man broke out in a cold sweat and reflexively reached for the mechanical crossbow on the table, but he grabbed nothing.”
“Are you looking for this?” the man in the black robe asked, his hand extending from beneath the robe holding the mechanical crossbow that had just been on the table, and then slowly aimed it at him.”
“You!” the elderly man’s eyes dilated, his whole body tensed, and he couldn’t help but shout, “You… you can’t kill me.”
“Why?” asked the man in the black robe.”
“I… I am from White Stone Tower!”
“Ha, that’s exactly why I should kill you.”
“I’m different from the others, I’m their spy, my identity is more important. If you kill me, they will retaliate against you. You must also have heard that someone from White Stone Tower has already come to Cuijin City. Though I didn’t contact him out of caution, once you kill me, he’ll definitely get wind of it and follow the clues to find and kill you.”
“Interesting,” the man in the black robe said. “But have you considered one thing?”
“What?” the elderly man asked.”
“I am not afraid of retaliation, or else I wouldn’t have killed so many. Actually, what I’m doing is revenge. The people from White Stone Tower you mentioned, I’m seeking them out on purpose. And you are just an appetizer before I find him.”
“Are you ready then?” asked the man in the black robe.”
“Ah?” the elderly man was startled, the next moment he screamed.”
With a “thud,” the mechanical crossbow in the man’s hand shook, the bolt flew out, easily piercing the elderly man’s heart, causing him to convulse a few times before collapsing.”
“That, you actually didn’t need to answer that question, because it wasn’t you I was asking,” the man in the black robe said, turning his head toward the door.”
Inside a room on the second floor of the Golden Wine Glass Inn.”
Hua’er lay on the bed, enjoying a massage. During the massage, a hand slowly reached out towards the girl, but suddenly froze mid-way.”
The next moment, Hua’er pushed the girl without warning, swiftly stood up from the bed, and then jumped off, slightly crouched like a cheetah, maintaining alertness and quickly glancing at the room’s windows,”
The girl named Aisha, taken aback, stood by the bed staring blankly at Hua’er, and cautiously asked, “Hua’er… Your Grace, what’s wrong with you?”
Hua’er remained silent, silent for a long time, then took a deep breath and commanded Aisha in a commanding tone, “Get out.”
“Get out, don’t you understand!” Hua’er yelled, turning his head to look at the other three girls who were confused and yelled, “Get out, all of you get out!”
The two girls were shocked, not knowing what had happened, but seeing the somewhat fierce expression on Hua’er’s face, they didn’t dare to speak up and quickly ran out of the room.
The door to the room closed, and the room was incredibly quiet; Hua’er could even hear his own panting.
Hua’er was extremely alert; he could clearly feel a sinister force getting closer, and his spiritual power was locking him down tightly.
Hua’er quickly turned his head to look around, guarding against any potential sudden attacks.
But no attacks came; the sinister force suddenly disappeared, and the lock of spiritual power vanished out of thin air.
Hua’er was slightly stunned, but the next moment, a swirl of black air formed behind him, condensing into a person wearing a black robe.
Hua’er, realizing the danger, abruptly turned around to face the person under the black robe; he saw the person’s eyes, which were a pair of eyes burning with oily green flames.
Hua’er’s hand clenched tightly, feeling a danger much stronger than before; he didn’t hesitate and raised his hand to release his strongest attack magic.
Shaping Energy Fire Magic. Zero-Circle High Order. Blazing Embrace!
Two solid strands of orange-yellow flames shot out, like a pair of arms, embracing the person under the black robe.
But… The orange-yellow flames disappeared without a trace half a meter away from the black robed wizard’s body.
Hua’er’s entire body chilled, now recognizing the strength of his opponent.
A true wizard, it seems the other party was indeed targeting them from White Stone Tower in Cuijin City, but… why…
The Black Robed Man spoke, his eyes burning with oily green flames looking at Hua’er, slowly saying, “I know you must have many questions now, wanting to ask who I am, why I am doing this.”
“You…” Hua’er wanted to speak but stopped.
“But… regarding these questions, I don’t want to answer any of them,” said the Black Robed Man. “I only want to say one thing, and that is… Youngsters relax, huh! White Stone Tower is really getting worse; it really disappoints me.”
“No matter what, vengeance must be taken!” the Black Robed Man’s voice grew cold.
Hua’er’s eyes suddenly narrowed, his entire body sprang up, and he quickly dashed towards the window outside; that was his only chance of survival.
But then came a “bang” sound; in front of the wooden window, Hua’er hit an invisible barrier, severely bouncing back and falling to the ground. Struggling to stand, inexplicably, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face deathly pale. Following that, Hua’er’s body tilted forward, and with a “thud,” he knelt on the ground.
“Heh, don’t think of running; with your current capabilities, you’re still lacking that bit. Maybe your teacher might have had a chance to resist, but as for you…” The Black Robed Man spoke, stepping closer to Hua’er, placing his hand on Hua’er’s head.
Strangely, Hua’er, as if he had lost his senses, remained motionless, just staring desperately at the wooden window in front of him.
“Sleep.” The Black Robed Man spoke, the flames in his eyes blazing brightly; his hand on Hua’er’s head moved slightly, and starting from his head, Hua’er’s whole body began to petrify, ultimately turning into a stone statue.
“White Stone Tower, I’ve come,” the Black Robed Man withdrew his hand, looking at the air in front of him and muttering to himself; the next moment, his body twisted and he disappeared within the room.
