Chapter 139 - Problems Don't Stop Falling From The Sky (part.2)

Mu Qiao took his gun which was the size of an AK-47 and fired at the enemies, holding Roho against his body with one arm. Using anti-gravity pull it dodges bullets and activates the energy-absorbing shields, which hold the bullets, luckily the mecha armor's stabilizer makes the impact minimal for them.

"We're going to fly a bit," Mu Qiao said jumping on the fake stone and being shot at by the enemies, there were seven in dark locks of armor that were scattered around the courtyard garden.

"Host, activating the second phase of the armor. The host, would you like to implement Elemental Jin?" Mu Qiao's system rang in his mind.

"It's not necessary, we're going to fly fast and not fight" Mu Qiao mentally replied. Suddenly the mecha armor shimmered around Roho's body and soon they disappeared like a glowing comet and blatantly fled.

"Give chase!" the enemy leader said a little surprised but quickly reacting. Of course, it wouldn't be that simple as the police heard all the noise from the recent attack, so only three managed to give chase, while the other four enemies started to defend themselves against the police attack.

Mu Qiao didn't know which way to go to be safe, so he searched the navigation system for the nearest police station, there maybe they were safe.

"Hey, I know where there's a portal for teleport," Roho said when he saw Mu Qiao looking around looking for a place for them to hide.

"That's good, as there will be police there," Mu Qiao said with some relief. With Roho's guide, it was easier to find the place, but surprisingly it was a small gift shop that didn't stand out from the other shops in the place.

"What?" Mu Qiao questioned looking around, he became alert. Maybe this person in his embrace was the real enemy and he was acting like a fool.

"We can't trust the authorities now... There could be spies among them. Since they're after my life so blatantly, it's possible they'll kill me in front of the police anyway. It's best to keep to secrecy for now," Roho started to speak when Mu Qiao suddenly landed in front of the gift shop.

If it weren't for Roho being a local and being chased by violent and unknown people, surely Mu Qiao would have thought of him as a paranoid and delusional person, but as things turned out, the second prince Mu had to contain his curiosity and believe Roho's words, at least for the moment.

The people who were calmly taking their walks and shopping looked strangely at the pair of men who landed on the ground.

In order not to cause panic, it was reported by the authorities that the attacks were actually a fire that took place at the inn and that the firefighters were trying to contain it and the police were watching the place just to make sure they weren't arson fires even if something shady it was not being covered up by the fire.

The explosions were due to things that were supposed to be flammable and were touched by the fire. So, the most distant places from the inn were in relative calm and Mu Qiao and Ruho's appearance was quite striking.

"Disarm the mecha armor before they find us," Roho asked putting on himself a hooded cloak partially hiding his face.

Mu Qiao understood that they should blend into the crowd first before seeking help, this would prevent them from being hunted from all sides.

"He must have been shy!"

"I would also be shy if my boyfriend was so flashy carrying me around like this!"

"Oh, you with a boyfriend? You can keep dreaming!"

"Ouch, so you hurt me"

"That man is an alpha right?"

"Yes, a very handsome alpha... I've never seen this skin color and this kind of eyes around here..."

"I've seen some, usually those characteristics are human"

"Is it some kind of forbidden love?"

"Don't be silly, we are in new times the marriage between species is perfectly normal"

"Mommy, Mommy he has such shiny black hair!"

"Ayan don't point your finger, that's impolite"

Several people who stopped observing a couple of men chatted and commented while letting their fertile imagination roll for such a peculiar situation. Unfortunately, Mu Qiao had also donned a hooded cloak and entered the gift shop with Roho, making the onlookers gasp and their imaginations run wild.

"Gentlemen can I help you with something?" an attendant appeared very solicitous, she had seen all the commotion outside. From the flashy mecha armor, this couple must have been rich and she could already see the fat commission she would have at the end of the day.

Of course, she had her very good salary, but the commission would be extra for her to put together to buy the house with her boyfriend and they could get married... Well, no matter what she already saw Mu Qiao and Roho as the goose of the golden eggs.

"I'm going to want the bluebird statue," Roho said without hesitation, which surprised the attendant, but she was very happy to take such an order since it's the most expensive item in the gift shop.

"Just a moment, I have to talk to the manager since I need an access key to get the item," the attendant said every request.

"No problem," Roho said calmly.

Mu Qiao didn't understand the conversation, but he was worried about something else... The alluring scent that seemed to come out of this dark-skinned man's body. It was like smelling a fragrant lady-in-the-night flower1, he normally doesn't like sweet perfumes, but this one, in particular, seemed very pleasant to him.

Were it not for the situation, Mu Qiao would most certainly reprimand Roho for making his pheromones such evidence without caring that he is an alpha who would be deeply affected or he would worry that there was something wrong with Roho's body, as there was in his body same problem his little brother Mu Liang.

The manager was a tall man with long wavy hair that vaguely resembled a rainbow for the diversity of colors each lock of hair had. He wore big, flashy hoop earrings, his thick lips were tinged with burgundy lipstick, and his eyelashes were darker than usual.

He wore a long tunic with various geometric patterns and a neutral color between white and light brown, presenting a very exotic figure to them.

"Master Roho, the teleport is ready" the man looked seriously at Roho and placed his left hand on his chest, and bowed in formal greeting.

"Okay, even if the police come looking for me, don't say anything," Roho said pulling Mu Qiao who kept staring at the man with colored hair, getting almost rude.

"Don't worry Master Roho" the manager replied so politely and deadly serious that Mu Qiao had to blink his eyes a few times at the strange image between the dark-skinned man of exotic beauty and the posture of a military man following orders.

Roho deftly guided Mu Qiao through the store until he reached a "secret" entrance that was actually a small dressing room so customers could try on some blouses and clothing typical of the Diablo Empire.

Space clearly became tight for Mu Qiao and Roho, the latter felt the man's body warm on his back which made his heart race like a hare, he turned his face back a little to see if the alpha had any kind expression that could pose a danger to his physical integrity.

Of course, it was a mistake to stare into those gray iris eyes that vaguely resembled the stormy sky, or maybe it was Roho himself who felt disturbed and felt things that weren't real.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I might think you want to be devoured by me," Mu Qiao said putting on a charming smile as he stared back at Roho.

Then, it was no longer an unreal sensation.

Roho turned his hot face away and pretended not to see the look of amusement that Mu Qiao was wearing at that moment. He concentrated on taking from the space item a black and violet-colored medallion that had the Achebe family symbol that looked something like a chameleon.

He pressed the locket into one of the round ornaments on the dressing room wall and Mu Qiao heard a very soft click before a door opened to reveal a long flight of stairs with low lights illuminating the path.

"It's a short walk to the teleportation portal, when we're safe you can contact your comrades to come to get you," Roho said already entering the secret passage, leaving the stunned Mu Qiao behind.

Of course, Mu Qiao quickly followed Roho and the door closed quietly behind him.

They went down for five minutes before reaching a room a little more spacious and there was the teleport portal which was in a white arc shape.

"I imagine you are an important person in the Diablo Empire?" Mu Qiao finally asked after seeing so many strange things happening.

"Well, I don't know if I'm considered that important." Roho didn't confirm or deny the statement.

"Well I'm a prince so I'm very important" Mu Qiao joked seeing how Roho didn't feel comfortable talking about the subject.

"You are a very free prince" Roho commented a bit sarcastically, only to receive a smiling look from Mu Qiao.
