Chapter 23 Chapter 23

"BOINK!" Five loyal bodyguards formed a line of defense behind their young master.

"Escape quickly, Master Zhang Mu!" the lead guard shouted in alarm. He drew his sword and the men around him did the same.

Of course they were not too stupid to charge at Clark for they knew well enough that that would only result in their quick death.

Their actions were only to delay and hopefully restrict any attacker until their young master could safely escape from this tribulation. Alas, a fool wanted to have a fool's death in the end.

There was no remedy to be had if this was sadly the case.

"I am the Third Prince of Canta City! Let me see him dare lay a h...!" Zhang Mu words paused there. He looked down and saw a third arm has now protruded on his chest.

The newly introduced limb was thick with the smell of blood. Hot and fresh still.

'What happened? How could i...' these were Zhang Mu's last thoughts before darkness devoured everything that he was.

"MASTER ZHANG MU!"

Still, robbing from the dead was a whole nother matter for Clark. It did not at all gave him any guilt whatsoever.

He even took a second run by to check if there was still someplace he missed on Zhang Mu's fallen husk.

'Ahhh... I only got a ring? Well, ten rings in fact!'

'Are all of these what i think it is?'

Clark's excitement almost bubbled out to the brim but since this was not the right place to tinker with his loot, it was better to, for the sake of propriety, do this this somewhere else.

Clark stood up and walked away from his slaughtered victims. At this point, even a needle drop could be heard with how silent everything and everyone was.

It was as if the world existed solely for the purpose of one man's actions. Each pair of eyes centered on Clark's every movement.

All people in the vicinity were too afraid to even budge an inch from their nailed spots, else they invite the attention of the dreaded scourge in their midst.

"Now where were we? Oh right... to the palace!"

"Shall we go, my beautiful Princess Ning Xi?" Clark gave another picturesque smile of his. Full of charm and enigmatic pull unto the other sexes.

Alas, Princess Ning Xi could not, for the life of her, take her eyes off the bloody left hand of Clark.

'What have i gotten myself into?' Ning Xi shivered when she realized her mistake.
