Chapter 228: Surprise Motherfcker!

Chapter 228: Surprise Motherfcker!

Liam silently walked out of the royal city. He was a bit distracted because of all the recent things that were happening.

Kouske... The Gu family... The four experts he had competed with... and now Luna...

He had also not improved his strength in a while.

There were too many things that he needed to do.

He couldn't help but feel as if everything was slowly slipping away from his hands and he was also slowly losing the advantage he had.

It was as if he was just another minute away from losing everything he had and returning back to that helpless nobody he was in his past life.

Liam clenched his fists tightly until his knuckles turned white and looked ahead with determination.

He would never become that weak helpless person again. No matter what happened he was never going to let history repeat itself.

It was time to power up!

Just as he was stepping out of the gates, he whistled and Talon immediately flew down to him.

However, instead of stepping forward and hopping onto the bird's back, Liam paused.

He was not alone!

From the corner of his eyes, he saw a couple of familiar faces.

And this time Liam was not amused!

He also did not want to waste his time dealing with these pests so he stopped and moved a couple of feet back into the royal city.

Screee! Screee!

Talon as well landed on the ground and walked over to stand next to him. The two of them did a U-turn and started walking back into the city.

The guards did not seem to care about it and respectfully bowed and greeted Liam again.

Seeing this, Alex wanted to punch someone in the face.

Just how much reputation did this bastard have? Why are the guards treating him like he was the fucking King?!

They both watched him as he walked over to a nearby inn.

"I think that bastard realized that we are following him." Alex spat out.

"I think so too." Mia coldly replied.

"Heh. He thinks that he is safe just because he is the city? Dream on!" Alex smirked and then added.

"Mia, I don't mind spending a couple of days in prison. Can you activate your divine prison? I will take care of him before the skill ends."

"Ok." Mia nodded. This is a skill they had specifically prepared for Liam, so she also had the confidence to deal with him.

After hearing Alex, Mia nodded in agreement and she did not stop her. "You will be able to handle him right?"

Alex scoffed. "Yes. Yes. Sure, he was more experienced than us in the beginning, but how could I possibly lose even now?"

"I have been waiting for this day far too long now." She punched her fist onto her palm, the one end of her lips pulling upward.

Both Alex and Mia glanced at each other and then Alex took the first step. She activated [Stealth] and walked over to the inn's back door.

However, as soon as she touched the door, almost instantly a group of royal guards surrounded her. "You are under arrest."

One of the guards stepped forward and cuffed her hands with special shackles and started dragging her away.

Alex did not even have the time to think about what the hell just happened. "I did not do anything wrong. Let me go." She pleaded.

But the guards paid no attention to her. Mia as well watched this but she was also helpless. The royal guards did not listen to anyone.

After the guards took her, she went to the innkeeper and enquired.

"Ma'am, what happened?"

"Oh. That young lady tried to enter the inn in stealth."

"But that is not a serious offense, right? She didn't do anything wrong?"

"That's right. However, she was definitely up to no good! Even the Duke warned me about her!"

The woman gracefully smiled, a hint of shyness appearing on her face recalling the young Duke and answered her.

"Duke?" Mia gasped. Liam was already a duke? While they were becoming weaker every day, he was becoming that much stronger!

"Can a Duke give orders to arrest anyone in the city?" Mia asked, already dreading hearing the answer.

And just like she thought... the innkeeper revealed another sweet smile and replied.

"Yes, of course, he can!"

So now... instead of following him and finding an opportune moment to attack him, they had to run and hide from him?

They were no longer safe both inside and outside the cities and towns!

"Damn it." Mia bit her lips, making them redder.

She did not know why but every time they clashed with this person, she felt as if they were digging their own graves.

Not only did they suffer a loss each and every single time but their losses were also insanely punishing. If they did something, then he returned that favor ten times stronger!

Mia did not even know if they could afford to oppose him anymore. They were truly at their lowest point.

She was also very tired. They had some real-life issues to deal with as well and nothing was going their way.

It was as if they were being cornered from all directions with no way out.

Mia sighed, and then returned to her calm and composed expression before walking out of the city.

With Alex and Rey both unavailable, she decided to gather some reliable members of their guild and keep raiding dungeons to improve their overall strength.

Her slender and elegant figure looked very lonely as she alone walked out of the royal city.
