Chapter 333 The Bourbon Town!

The Bourbon Town,

The scene was picturesque somewhere near the coach of the eastern part of the Eastern Muxia Continent. It was an exquisite evening as the soft and frisky gale would travel far and wide, along with the small waves of water hitting the rocky shore.

Approximately a mile from the coastline, a large golden bird whose body was a sparrow, its head was a parrot, and its talons were eagle-like, chirped melodiously as it soared through the red sky and touched the surface of the water reflecting the dazzling light from the setting of the sun. Followed by a flock of birds with different species, it flew toward the town which was built above the rocky mountain.

Perching on the top of the tower, it continued singing a beautiful song along with the monotonous chirping sounds of its peers, reminding the whole town of the cusp of the day.

"Ring the bell!" A hoarse male voice spoke in Sanskrit.

An enormous bell rang at the top of the tower, echoing throughout the town as it rang... Ding! Ding! Ding!....

As usual, the guards shut the three enormous gates after the gonging signal. Only the front gate, which was larger than the other three gates, took a lot more time and labor to shut it.

Hundreds of Naginas (snake-man) pushed the levers to close the main gate, which had been opened for the people coming from the large river from the mainland. Yes, this Bourbon Town was like an island, as it was covered with water all around, with a bit of land connected to the mainland. It opened three of the gates for those ships coming from the sea and in front of the large main gate was a large port to dock ships coming from the mainland through the river.

The main gate was about to close when a male voice shouted, stopping them, "Wait! A ship has just arrived."

Then a group of guards wearing unique white dresses slithered toward the dock, waiting for it.

"Ahh! What has happened to that ship?" A guard exclaimed, seeing the terrible state of the ship.

"Yeah, I see a lot of signs for a battle inside." Another guard agreed.

"Guards, get ready for a battle!" The leader of the twenty guards shouted, giving his orders. Then all of them brandished their weapons, getting ready to take action anytime.

A few minutes later, three figures jumped onto the Bourbon town's soil. Shadow Slave, who was inside Chieftain Juno's body, stood in front of Layla and Bobby. They started approaching the gate.

"Halt!" the leader of the guards shouted. "Identify yourself and where the hell are the other passengers?"

Those guards were extremely hostile, especially toward the two humans. Some leered lustfully at Layla.

Sensing their eyes, Layla emitted a faint killing intent.

"Little girl, stand down! Have you forgotten our little role-play? Don't you ruin this for me?" Bobby said telepathically while making her calm down. Then he continued, "Shadow Slave, forget the low key. Start beating those bastards!"

Hearing the instruction, Shadow Slave gave a death glare to each one of them who leered at Layla and bellowed at the top of his lungs, "I Juno, the Chieftain of the Oak Tree Tribe, have never been humiliated like this ever in my life. After an ardent job of killing a group of bandits from Red Tiger Raksa Pirate Group, I believe to have at least gotten a humble reward from Bourbon head KoKo Cha, but this situation is really ridiculous. All of you have slandered my excellent reputation with such blasphemy today, so I will teach you a lesson."

He jumped up in the air and started making several punching and slapping motions in the air and then the next thing, all the twenty guards were sent flying, hitting on the brick wall of the town.

All of them were knocked unconscious from his attacks except for the leader of the group, Kusha. He supported himself by leaning on the wall and stood up, vomiting a mouthful of blackened blood. "You! Today, I'll be your last day for attacking the guards." He said, pointing at Shadow Slave, and plopped down onto the ground, losing his unconscious too.

"You measly guard, dare to point at me." Shouting that, Shadow Slave dashed toward him with killing intent. He then made a punching motion toward Kusha.

But a fist came out of nowhere. Bang! With a loud explosion of energy, the Shadow Slave has forced five steps back.

When the white mist disappeared, there was a lean, middle-aged-looking snake man standing in front of the unconscious Kusha. "Holy medusa! So the one making this commotion in the main city gate is you. Hahaha, Brother Juno! It's really nice to see you again."

"Huh!" Shadow Slave scoffed and spat, "Ptooey!" acting the way Chieftain Juno would react in this situation.

Then the man acted as if he didn't care with his attitude and said a greeting formally while touching his forehead: "May Medusa bless you, brother Juno!"

This time, Shadow Slave greeted back while touching his forehead, "May Medusa bless you, vice Captain Kunch*!"

He continued, "Hey, sorry about those brats."

Vice Captain Kunch looked at the almost-wrecked ship and then at the two humans and asked, "Brother Juno, I don't like to be on your bad side. Still, report something about the missing crews." His eyes also glinted for a second when they landed on Layla. Unable to control his urge, he looked again at her and exclaimed in his head, 'Woah! I've never seen such an exquisite-looking slave before. Ugh! I want to play with this innocent doll.' Then he started roaming his eyes all over Layla's body.

Layla clenched her hands, but swallowed her anger down, remembering her master's words. And she quickly calmed him down.

To Bobby's mind, Kunch was already a dead man in his eyes with his snake-like appearance and behavior. 'Should I just poke out his eyes and kill him?' This thought came repeatedly into his mind.

Sensing his master's fury, Shadow Slave slithered, blocking the other's vision, and said, "Hey, she is mine. Would you like to compete with me in a duel?"
