Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Chapter 308 - The Unlucky Young Man.

Upon hearing that aggressive and arrogant voice, Ling Chen immediately turned around and saw a young man who appeared to be a little over twenty walking towards him.

The young man wasn't overly handsome. However, he was wearing an expensive and well-tailored black suit. He had an excellent stature while his eyes flashed with an arrogant glint.

He wasn't alone. Aside from the five sturdy bodyguards, he was also accompanied by a stunning young woman. However, the bodyguards seemed to be protecting the young woman.

The young woman was extremely beautiful. Her eyes were sparkling and translucent like precious black gemstones but were also as profound as the night sky.

Her voluptuous body was enshrouded with a noble aura as well as an air of loftiness. It was obvious that she came from a great background.

"I am very sorry sir but young master Zion was here first, and he has already booked the Royal Suite," Veronica said with an apologetic smile on her face as she took the card from Ling Chen's hand to process the payment.

According to their Royal Inn Hotel's rules, it was first come, first served. Even though the newcomer wanted to book the Royal Suite for a whole week while Ling Chen was going to book for a only day or two, she still had to prioritize Ling Chen over the newcomer.

"It seems like you don't know who you're talking to?"Arrogantly said the young man as he took out a VIP card made out of gold and threw it on the counter.

As he said that, he took a glance at the young woman behind him. It was as if he was showing off his power and influence to gain her favor.

Nonetheless, the young woman seemed to be unaffected by the young man's action. Instead, she was carefully observing Ling Chen with her piercing gaze.

At the same time, Veronica was both shocked and surprised upon seeing this card. This gold VIP card was given to the most powerful and influential people in the Verid Empire.

She could tell that the young man wasn't powerful and influential enough to enjoy this gold VIP card as he was only a peak Nine Star Nebula Realm warrior and hasn't broken through the War Class warrior yet. It must have been his father's.

Nonetheless, she still respectfully accepted the card and sincerely apologized to Ling Chen:" Young Master Zion, I'm truly sorry. All the holders of the gold VIP cards are our esteemed guests and have booking priority."

Hearing Veronica's words, Ling Chen didn't look surprised or mad. He merely smiled and said." It's fine. I understand. Can I get the largest room beside the Royal Suite then?"

The reason Ling Chen wanted to book the Royal Suite wasn't that he wanted to flaunt his wealth but because he wanted to summon the kids for a little chat as he had a task for them.

Furthermore, he wanted them to witness the grandeur and magnificence of the Verid Star as well.

Their main bodies have been in his inner Dark and Light Void ever since he entered the Verid Empire while their consciousness was in the Akasha Spiritual World. As such, they haven't had the chance to see the Verid Empire yet.

"Sure. Thank you for your understanding young master Zion. Just give me a second to take care of the esteemed guest first." Quickly answered Veronica with a charming smile on her face.

"Sure." Nonchalantly answered Ling Chen as he took a step back.

Meanwhile, the young woman was still intensely staring at Ling Chen. She didn't say anything throughout the whole event.

Though the young man didn't say anything. He was displeased by how the young woman was looking at Ling Chen. His eyes turned cold with murderous intent.

"Who are you?" Suddenly asked the young woman with a wary look on her face.

Unlike the young man who was only a peak Nine Star Nebula Realm warrior, the young woman was a 1st Life Transition War Master realm warrior. As such, she was very sensitive to danger as well as other powerful beings.

As such, without knowing why, the moment the young woman saw Ling Chen, she suddenly had a feeling that was like the fear and trepidation one felt before a disaster.

She could see that Ling Chen was a regular mortal without any cultivation. Nonetheless, a sense of dread and misfortune could not help but be born in her heart while looking at him.

At this moment, the young man was both shocked and surprised upon seeing that the young woman took the initiative to talk to Ling Chen. She was a cold woman and rarely talk to people.

Others might not who the young woman was, but he knew perfectly. Her name was Heidi Castillo and she was one of the daughters of one of the three hundred Stellar Lords of the Verid Empire, Archduke Lance Castillo.

Even though she was an illegitimate child, she was doted upon by the Archduke due to her talent.

Though his father was a friend of the Archduke, his influence and power were nothing compare to the Archduke. And his father always encouraged him to woo her and try to get her hand in marriage to increase the influence of the family.

Furthermore, he also wished for this since his heart was no longer his the moment he laid eyes on her.

This was also the reason why he tried so hard for her arrival this time to satisfy her and leave a good impression.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen didn't even bother to answer the young lady as he was quietly waiting for Veronica. He even didn't look at her from start to finish.

After the initial shock, the young man became angry after seeing how Ling Chen ignored Heidi. Even Heidi was also dazed by the lack of response.

"Ignorant brat didn't hear you miss Heidi asking you a question. Do you know who she is? She is one of the Princesses of the Castillo Solar System."Angrily yelled out the young man as he was looking at Ling Chen with his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He simply couldn't handle Ling Chen's disrespectful attitude toward the Princess.

"One of the Princesses of the Castillo Solar System!" Even Veronica turned pale after hearing this title.

Being a princess of the Castillo Solar System wasn't famous but it was a different story for the Archduke. Each one of them was a powerful War God realm warrior and their strength and influence were only below the Verid Imperial Family.

As such, many people would show respect after hearing her title due to the influence behind her.

Seeing that Ling Chen didn't even bother to answer him, Heidi slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at the young man with a confused expression on her face.

She wanted to say something but one of the bodyguards advised otherwise so she had to stay silent.

Being glanced at by Heidi left the young man wanting more. He became excited and the only thing in his mind was to try his best in front of the princess to leave a good impression.

He assumed that she gave him implicit permission to continue by staying silent!

"It seems like you don't know what's good for you. I'll show you what happens when a puny mortal like you disrespects the Princess." He coldly added as he pounced towards Ling Chen.

He reached for Ling Chen without holding back and didn't think that this mortal could do anything, intending on killing Ling Chen with one blow.

Thud!

However, before could even get close to Ling Chen, he mysteriously fell on the floor with blood gushing out his ears and mouth.

"Pluff!"In the next second, his entire body was poofed into a mist of blood as though it was pulverized and completely crushed by an invisible palm.

This sudden development shocked everyone, whether it was Princess Heidi, Veronica, and the security guards. They all became pale with horror after seeing this scene. That was even more true for Heidi, her heart sank from fear, and was horrified.

Even the young man didn't know how he died. He only felt all his internal organs being crushed by mysterious power before he was pulverized by an invisible force like a giant mountain.

He wasn't even that powerful. He was only a fox exploiting the tiger's might and didn't expect to be actually killed.

What was even more terrifying, Ling Chen didn't even look at the young man, let alone moved from his previous position. None of them knew how he died.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen calmly stood there while facing Veronica and waiting for her to finish processing his room. It was as of nothing happened.

"Are you done yet?" Suddenly asked Ling Chen with a slight smile on his face.

"Yes...yes ....I....I...I am done." Said Veronica in a trembling voice as she handed Ling Chen a small card with information about his room number and the floor it was on.

Meanwhile, Veronica's body couldn't stop trembling. Even though she didn't see anything, she could tell that Ling Chen was responsible for this disturbing scene. She couldn't help but feel a cold chill running down her spine as she was looking at bloody mist on the ground.

"Thank you."Answered Ling Chen with a thankful smile on his face as he turned around and walked toward the elevator, leaving Heidi and the security guards with a stupefied look on their faces.

Ling Chen was still as carefree as ever. He was as if he had just killed a fly instead of a human being. He was even whistling as he was walking towards the elevator.
