Chapter 200
Waves after waves of incinerating orange flames washed over the first floor, burning those who couldn’t resist yet not completely killing them . This explosion caused a huge ruckus as painful wails resounded . The red-haired youth, Elo Huo was also surprised by this sudden explosion but he wasn’t that afraid . He circulated his Nether Energy and conjured a red protective barrier around himself and the woman .
He was a natural flame controller so the flames would deal less with him but that was not the case for the woman . Furthermore, the explosion was not that strong to the point of killing him but he sensed a bit of danger from it which led him to subconsciously protect himself .
A bit of time passed and the flames were finally subdued by the majority of the guests, including Elo Huo . Although none was killed, none could deny the devastating damage it caused to the first floor . The floor became black and the walls turned into ash with only a few treasures making it out intact .
Rizaki is a terrifying skill and even with a bit of intelligence applied to it when activated, if it is coupled with a fierce offensive attribute such as Fire, the consequences could only be as such, if not more .
“Who dares cause trouble in our treasury house!”
A voice accompanied by a thick and pressuring aura rang in the ears of the spectators outside and the guests inside . The arrival of the pressure even changed the red-haired youth relaxed expression to a solemn one . Even someone as powerful as himself felt the overwhelming pressure but despite his arrogance, he wasn’t angry, he was a bit wary of such existence .
Soon, they discovered who was the source of this voice and pressure . It was actually a grey-haired old man with a short height and very pale face . He seemed to be on the verge of death and even a bit of wind would shake kill him . He had an inclined spine and seemed like a mortal from a first look, but none did dare to underestimate him as they felt the immense pressure he was emanating .
Seeing the destruction caused by the flames, the old man’s expression wasn’t pleasant at all, his brows were furrowed and the pressure he was emitting doubled, causing the people inside to became pale .
“None is allowed to leave before the perpetrator is caught! No one can wreck havoc here and escape unnoticed . ”
With a God present, even Elo Huo didn’t dare act haughtily . He wasn’t worried as he was not the one who did it so he only remained silent with a forced smile on his face .
The woman hugging his arm was afraid a bit ago that when she remembered that the youth was next to her, she breathed a sigh of relief and remained mute as well .
No one dared to talk first, they just stood there, waiting to see what the old man will do . Contrary to the questioning most of them were expecting from him, the old man just gazed at the people inside one by one . He would stare at one for a few seconds before switching to another . There were not many people here so he spent a minute to look at them all thoroughly before his gaze paused on Elo Huo . The old man frowned, he seemed to be thinking about something before he started walking towards the youth .
Sensing that he was most likely the prime suspect, Elo Huo started speaking immediately because the old man didn’t seem to be the reasonable type and he was probably pretty enraged . After all, this was the Kang’s Treasury House and even with the presence of a God, someone dared to launch an attack . For a God protecting this place, this was like a slap in the face and a complete humiliation, and this could only get worse if the culprit doesn’t get caught .
“Sir, I think you are misunderstanding something . ”
Although he didn’t dare to act rashly, the youth still didn’t back off, after all, his backing is not small either and is probably more powerful than the Kang family . He still spoke with a tone of respect as it is the Kang’s territory, plus, he was talking to a God, who was also a Senior .
“What misunderstanding! Boy! All the evidence lead to you . You are the strongest and the only suspectable to cause such an attack, moreover, you strong affinity with fire proves that! You’ll go back with me so you can be properly punished and if you resist then . . . . death!”
The God didn’t seem he was going to let Elo Huo off, which angered the latter but he was helpless too so he could only give up for now and wait for the elders who came with him to get him out of this mess .
The old man was just about to bind Elo Huo with his aura when his body suddenly froze . He seemed to have suddenly thought of a crazy idea and fearful idea .
“Not good!”
The old man muttered those words before he sped off to the third floor and in an instant, he was already standing inside of it . The formation laid here was still working, since it was connected with him, if it was destroyed then he would know it immediately .
Although it was still intact, all the colors on the old man’s face disappeared, his face turned white and his body started shaking . The third floor was smaller than the first two and had lesser treasures but all the ones on here were priceless and unique . However, the sight on the third floor right now was a shock to everyone, including the old God . Thoroughly and completely scavaged with not even a spec of dust left! These are the words that can describe the current state of the third floor . It was an empty room with nothing but a lone short figure of the God standing in the center of it .
An angry roar came out from the third floor, the building shook intensely and even Elo Huo stumbled a couple of steps due to the pressure . The roar’s origin was obviously the old man, who was infuriated .
“Little rat! Don’t think you can hide!”
The old man’s figure flashed by the first floor as he left the building and started surveying the street and scanning everyone . The passers-by were stupefied by the appearance of a God and none dared to act strangely lest they raise suspicions over themselves .
. . . . .
A few kilometers away from the Kang Treasury House, a youth was leisurely walking down a shopping street with a relaxed look . He was eating a red apple and happily smiling as he walked down the street and scanned a few shops every now and then . Such a youth with common clothes was like any other person so none paid attention to him, he couldn’t be more normal than this .
Arthur laughed inside as he thought about how smoothly the plan went . His calculations were a bit off as the old man took triple the time he estimated to find out about the explosion and its real purpose .
This led him to have more than enough time to sweep through everything and leisurely leave, unnoticed, of course . The blue lightning net was indeed strong but it was breakable if he used the black lightning, however, he didn’t break it and merely tore a small crack, barely three inches to the green sprout (the body he was possessing) could pass through . From then on, the work was pretty much done, he took everything in sight and soundlessly left . The whole process barely took fifteen seconds . By the time the old man rushed to the third floor, Arthur was already inside another body and a few kilometers away from the scene .
’Ahhh I guess there is no fairness in such words . . . . but it’s not like I require such thing . ’
Arthur’s actions may be despicable but he didn’t care the least bit, he will do anything to achieve his goals . His only taboo is killing innocents, although it is not always possible to save innocent people, he will not reap their lives for his goals when there are other alternatives . As for enemies . . . . weak or strong doesn’t matter as their end will be the same .
“Hey, Demon . ”
As he was leisurely walking around, a deep and threatening voice rang in his ears . It made his body freeze and the chains well-hidden under his clothes shake a bit . To his complete surprise, the voice actually came from his consciousness, precisely from the dense chains wrapping around the enormous knight that Arthur imprisoned temporarily inside him so he can possess him later!
