Chapter 62: Not even a handyman

Chapter 62: Not even a handyman

Eren was waiting outside the hotel room for Xiu Ying. Celeste was sitting on his shoulder, looking much happier.

She wasn't hiding anymore. She could also see things more clearly. It was like she was looking at the world from a different perspective. She was much more free.

She was so happy that she planted a kiss on Eren's cheeks.

"You're this happy from such a small change? You're such a child, but it's thanks to you that I also have someone I can talk to about things I can't tell others."

He patted Celeste lightly with his finger.

"Have you already gone crazy? You are talking to yourself now?"

Eren was talking to Celeste when he heard a woman's voice.

From the same hotel, a girl stepped out. She was the same person that he wanted as his second disciple.

"Do you have a problem with me?" asked Eren.

"Not you. I just have a problem with weak people who can't even protect their women."

"And you think you are strong? Haven't you heard the saying? There's a mountain beyond a mountain. What would you do if you came across a mountain like that?"

"Hmph, the only mountains above me are my seniors at the sect. And people like you can't even compare to them."

"Oh? What if I was also a disciple at the Great Demon Sect?"

The stern looking woman finally burst into laughter, unable to control it.

"A disciple at the Great Demon Sect? You would be lucky if you're selected even as a handyman to serve outer disciples!"

The woman kept laughing as she walked away from Eren, as if she had heard the funniest joke of her life.

'I'm not even worthy to be a handyman, huh. Since you are so proud, I have thought of a job for you after I accept you as a disciple.'

Eren watched the woman leave the city. He was already feeling quite frustrated because he was being looked down on.

"Given."

"Huh?"

"You asked for another opportunity? I will give you one! Take your men, find and kill that girl! If you succeed, not only will I forgive you but I will also reward you!"

"Kill her? But she is from the Great Demon Sect! If I killed her..."

No matter how strong the girl was, she was still young. She could fight across the realm, but the City Lord and his Guards were much older.

The gap in strength was too much for the girl to resist. So he didn't believe that he couldn't kill her. But what he worried about were the consequences!

"The Great Demon Sect can't do anything! Many people saw her leave the city safely. If she was ro disappear on the way, it has nothing to do with us."

The Crown Prince knew that he was exaggerating it.

Even if there was no proof to link them with this, but if the Great Demon Sect decided to investigate it, it could get much more complicated.

However, he also believed that the Sect wasn't going to investigate. It was just an Inner Disciple. There were thousands of inner disciples in the Great Demon Sect.

If it was a Core Disciple or an Elder's Disciple, the sect would have investigated this. But for an ordinary disciple, it was rare.

Even if they investigated, it could only be said that the City Lord was angry that the guest he invited made such a mess in the celebration, so he took action on his own without informing the Crown Prince or others.

They were giving the knife and responsibility to the City Lord. Whatever happened from this point was on him.

"You have a family as well, right? My people have taken your family to the Royal City as guests. I'm sure you know what that means, right?"

The Crown Prince left the cell, but his meaning was clear.

After a few minutes, more guards entered the cell and opened the shackles of the City Lord on the Prince's command.

....

The Inner Disciple of the Great Demon Sect had borrowed a horse from the City of Qiling.

She was moving towards the next City, not realizing that high in the sky, there was a Phoenix following her above the clouds.
