Chapter 201: "Cutting In Line"

To enter the capital without getting involved with the war happening on their left and right side, one had to go through a Golden Road leading straight to the city gate. 

There were 8 such roads coming from 8 directions, and the one Ainsley's group encountered was the one from the west. 

Without going through the Golden Road protected by numerous barriers set up by expert abilities users, anyone coming to the capital through the land would get involved in the war between monsters and humans. 

That's why a lot of visitors would obediently use the road that could only host two carriages at most. One was for those heading to the town, and the other area was for those leaving the town. 

The road wasn't wide, but the visitors were numerous. As such, one had to wait in line if they're not that influential. 

Of course, those stronger visitors with an influential background could skip the row, and others wouldn't dare to offend them. 

Ainsley's white carriage quietly lined up at the very back, waiting for their turn to arrive. 

The road was quite long, spreading from the silver road's exit to the town's gate. It could fit 50 carriages at once.

Well, some bigger carriages took up the space, so currently, there were only less than 50 carriages going to the town while the other area meant for those coming out had less carriages. 

People would sometimes try to cut in line using the opposite area, but once another carriage appeared from that direction, they would have to back down. 

Else, the guards mounting aerial beasts in the air would eliminate them without mercy. 

As such, Ainsley's group obediently followed the arrangement. With the five buds who were familiar with how things work, they didn't encounter any problem. 

The same went for the Walter Family. However, the Walter Family's group didn't cut in line using their influential background. 

The 15 guards even crossed the vast plain without using the Golden Road, inevitably having to battle the monsters. 

But with their power, none of them was injured, and they even got to arrive at the town's gate faster than others. 

Since the beast they used were all aerial beasts, they could directly bypass the wall after the guards opened a hole in the town's huge barrier. 

The guards arrived first at the town to wait for their master while the Walter Family's black carriage quietly followed right behind Ainsley's carriage. 

But they purposely hid their family's crest on the carriage's body, not attracting anyone's attention, including Ainsley. 

At first, everything seemed fine, and Ainsley's group was the fifth in line to enter the town. 

After the guards finished checking the other five carriages for any dangerous criminals or other blacklisted products, they could enter the town as visitors. 

The merchant obviously would use aerial transport instead of land transport, while the illegal product dealers would use the underground path full of mysterious monsters. 

Ainsley and the gang patiently waited for their turn, and finally, there was only one more carriage in front of them. 

The family never made a mess and never offended anyone throughout the journey. 

However, it didn't mean others wouldn't offend them. 

Just when the white carriage was about to get their turn to be inspected, an ability user dressed in a suit suddenly flew past their carriage and blocked their path. 

"This gentleman over here, can you please stop for a bit?" The middle-aged intruder looking like a butler politely greeted Alvaro, the coachman, but his eyes didn't look that polite. 

In fact, his tone sounded so arrogant that Alvaro couldn't help but furrow. 

"What's going on? Who are you? Don't you know it's our turn to enter the city?" Alvaro didn't reply to the butler with a polite greeting since he already knew it would be pointless. 

He had seen many of these people when he was at the capital and knew why this old fart blocked their path. 

He wanted to cut in line! 

Indeed, the butler's polite smile vanished, and his face immediately turned cold. 

"This youngster, you're so hot-blooded. Our family is in a rush, and we want to exchange our place with your family." The butler pointed at the carriage, which was staying so far away from the gate. 

This butler's carriage had just entered the Golden Road, so they would need at least 30 minutes to wait for their turn. 

"Our family is really in a rush, and we can't afford to wait for too long. This youngster, please swap our position, and we will compensate you." 

The butler kept a cold face throughout the talk, and he spoke as if this was a light matter. 

Asking someone to swap their position from the front line to the back in exchange for money…

He seemed to be familiar with doing this. 

Hearing what the butler said, Alvaro didn't mask his displeasure and openly glared at the middle-aged man. 

"No. We are not interested in your compensation. Mr guard, please inspect our carriage and let us in." 

The young man ignored the butler and immediately asked the silver-armoured guard in front of the metal gate. 

The guard actually didn't step up to solve the mess since he had already seen a lot of cases like this, and as long as these people didn't harm other visitors, they wouldn't interfere. 

They're just guards and couldn't afford to offend an influential family. To be safe, they would turn a blind eye. 

When Alvaro involved the guard, the young guard tacitly looked at the butler. 

"You two, quickly solve the problem. We don't care who enters first. Discuss it among you, " The guard said with a poker face. 

He didn't try to stop the audacious butler at all!
