Chapter 196 - The Blood Fiend Gang.
Black Iron City, Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant
The Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant was a four-story building and the first floor was used as a restaurant for the guests. It was a very spacious and well-decorated place.
At this moment, Inside the first floor of the Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant, both Ling Chen and Azure sat at a small table at the very corner of the room while enjoying their sumptuous breakfast.
From their window seat, they could see everything that was going on outside. Whether it was the people passing by or the two guards guarding the entrance of the building, they could see them all.
Despite being early in the morning, the restaurant was already filled with people. They were all eating while discussing all sorts of events that happened within the Sun Demi-God Domain.
"Old Huang, did you hear that the remaining Eight Ancient Families put a huge bounty on Ling Chen's head? Not only that, but they're also looking for him everywhere."
"What! You mean that freakish little devil that destroyed the Long Family a few days ago."
"Yeah! It's said that aside from annihilating the Long Family, he also killed all the guests that attended the party and most of them came from the other eight ancient families."
"So, they are trying to get revenge. However, it won't be that easy, if the little devil was able to kill the Projection of a Demi-God and even slaughtered the entire Long Family along with his demon beast, there's no way the other families could pose a threat him."
"They are simply looking for death. Unless a Demi-God personally takes action, no one could touch this little Devil."
"I agree with you on that. I still can't believe a fifteen years old boy could possess such frightening power. He was able to destroy one of the Nine Ancient Families and even killed a Demi-God's projection all by himself."
"I know right. That freak pops out of nowhere and turns the whole Sun Demi-God domain and even the entire Heaven Suppression Region upside down."
"To think a backwater place such as the Heaven Desolate Region could give birth to such a monster. In front of that freakish monster, the Twenty Young Deities are nothing but a joke."
"Too bad he won't to live long otherwise our human race would have produced another Demi-God."
"Indeed, there's no way the Thunder Demi-God Ye would let him off after killing his projection and humiliated him like that. To make matter worse, he also has one the Nine Keys of the Great Luo Martial God's Tomb in his possession. Even if Thunder Demi-God Ye doesn't kill him, the others won't let him go."
While Ling Chen was enjoying his food along with Azure, the two middle-aged men that sat in the table behind him were talking about him while they were unaware of his true identity.
Even though Ling Chen had changed to his true appearance when he was fighting against the projection of the Thunder Demi-God Ye, not many people saw his appearance clearly as it was dark.
Because of that, though he was famous throughout the Sun Demi-God Domain and even the whole Heaven Suppression region, not many people knew his true appearance.
As such, the two middle-aged men behind him and even the people eating in the restaurant didn't know who he was even though he didn't change his appearance. Except for his eyes which now looked normal, Ling Chen didn't change a thing.
"Master, please allow this servant to take care of the remaining Eight Ancient Families." Coldly uttered Azure after hearing the plan of the remaining Eight Ancient Families.
Unlike Hu'er who Ling Chen had raised since she was a little cub, Azure was Ling Chen's true demon beast servant. He had tamed her with his own strength and made a master and slave contact with her. As such, she was very devoted to him.
At first, Azure wanted to protect Ling Chen because her own life was linked to Ling Chen. If Ling Chen were to die, she would also die.
However, after spending some time with Ling Chen, she became captivated and enthralled by Ling Chen's unfathomable power and decided to serve him wholeheartedly.
Ling Chen was a mystery to her. Despite her Peak Demon Saint cultivation base, she was still unable to judge just how deep was Ling Chen's power.
She had even met with one of the nine Beast Gods before and it was like looking at a tall and insurmountable mountain when she was in its presence.
However, every time she looked at Ling Chen, It was like looking into an ocean. That's what made him even more frightening than even a Demi-God. At least one could look up and see the tops of the mountains, but one couldn't see the bottom of the ocean.
"There's no need. I don't have time to play with them. If they come to seek their own death, then I will fulfill their wish. Other than that, I won't go looking for them." Ling Chen answered nonchalantly after hearing Azure's request.
With Ling Chen's current strength, the remaining Eight Ancient Families didn't pose a threat to him at all. In fact, he didn't even need to personally make a move, Azure was enough to take care of them.
As Ling Chen was talking to Azure, he suddenly heard numerous loud and dense footsteps sounded from afar.
Without hesitation, he tilted his head out of the window and saw more than three hundred men walking towards the direction of the Inn at a fast speed.
Not only him, even the other customers that were sitting close the windows also stood up and looked outside upon hearing the loud footsteps' noise.
"What is going on? Why are the members of the Blood Fiend Gang assemble this early in the morning? Are they going to war or something?" Said an old man as he was looking at the hundreds of men walking on the streets and armed to the teeth.
"What the hell? It seemed like they are coming in our direction?" blurted out another person with a frightened expression on his face.
In just a few seconds, the hundreds of men had already arrived at the Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant and tightly surrounded it.
All these men had the same red skull tattoo on their arms which was clearly the symbol of the Blood Fiend Gang.
The moment these people appeared and surrounded the Inn, almost everyone in the Inn became nervous and edgy as they didn't know what was happening.
The entire first floor was quiet and there were only some soft discussion sounds. No one dared to talk loudly or clamored as the majority of them were afraid of the Blood Fiend Gang.
Bang!
Soon, an old man accompanied by a young man aggressively barged into the first floor. When the customers saw the appearance of the old man, they all became frightened and shocked.
"Oh, so it's Lord Blood Fiend Saint and the Young Lord. Does the Lord have some matters with our Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant?" Asked the manager of the Inn with a polite expression on his face as he faced Blood Fiend Saint.
Blood Fiend Saint was a small and dwarf-sized looking old man. He was wearing a luxurious red crimson brocade garb. The small old man was extremely thin and had a dried and shriveled body like a corpse.
Aside from that, his was body was emanating a ghastly and he reeked of the death and blood. With just a single glance, one could clearly tell that this old man was cruel and evil.
As for the Young man, he looked as thigh he was in his twenties. He had a cold and evil look on his face while his body was giving off a ferocious air.
" Sorry to bother you manager Han, this old man doesn't plan on causing any trouble to the Four Seasons Inn and Restaurant. I just come here to capture a little bastard that dared to kill more than fifty members of our Gang yesterday morning." answered the old man with cold killing intent in his eyes.
Upon hearing the old man's words, not to mention the customers on the first floor, even manager Han was surprised when he heard that.
They couldn't believe someone had the gut to offend the Blood Fiend Gang in Black Iron City. Not even the City Lord would dare to do such a thing.
Though Blood Fiend Gang was an evil organization, they were in fact a pawn of the Mu Family which was one of the Nine Ancient Families.
Not only the Blood Fiend Gang but every single Gang or powerful influence within Black Iron City was a pawn of the Nine Ancient families.
In the eyes of many people, Black Iron City was a city ruled by a bunch of criminals and outlaws. However, it was in fact being controlled by the Nine Ancient Families in the dark.
After answering the manager's question, Blood Fiend Saint shifted his cold gaze towards the people in the room.
Seeing that Blood Fiend Saint was looking at them, almost everyone within the first floor lowered their heads as they were afraid to meet his cold and murderous gaze.
They all felt as if they were being stalked by a poisonous snake and it caused their hair to stand on end. Some of them were trembling as cold sweat was dripping down their foreheads despite the cold morning.
Even though they weren't the culprit, they were still scared shitless. Who knew they might look like the culprit and ended being the scapegoat of that bastard.
As Blood Fiend Saint was scanning the room, his eyes suddenly landed on Ling Chen and Azure who were still enjoying their food as if nothing happened.
"Waiter, can I please have another bottle of wine?" Ling Chen loudly said as he raised his hand.
Upon hearing Ling Chen's loud voice, the manager and all the people within the room were surprised and shocked; How could this kid still maintain his calmness despite being in the presence of Blood Fiend Saint? to the point where he even dared to order more wine. All of them had already lost their appetite.
Meanwhile, a cold glint flashed across Blood Fiend Saint's eyes when he looked at both Ling Chen and Azure as he coldly said " So, it's you."
Meanwhile, Ling Chen didn't bother to glance at the old man as he continued eating his food and nonchalantly said." Azure, can you take of these people for me. I really want to finish my meal."
