Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 462 - A Fleet Of Enemies

"He didn't kill him," muttered the old man from on top of a building.

"You can see it yourself, the man's cultivation is having a free fall just as we speak," said Jin before he smirked whilst shaking his head, "Mysteries still shroud him and the scary part is, I feel that we only see the tip of the iceberg, who knows how big it is under the ocean if the tip is already at that size."

"Why are you always making it sounds so... vulgar."

"Huh? What?" asked Jin as he blinked like a fool toward his father-in-law.

(I still don't get what she saw in you) thought the old man before he put his palm against his own face. He lamented before and he lamented it again. Grooming her to be the most prestigious woman in the world and she chose Jin of all people.

"Is it really true though? Why would that old bone trapped his own son?"

"Hm?" His lamenting stop as he looked at Jin between his fingers. He let out a sigh before putting his palm off of his face.

"Greed." he let out that one word before a loud thumping noise reverberated around the world.

The cultivators below immediately looked up and to one another to affirm that all of them were hearing it.

"What was that?"

*THUMP!

"There it is again, what a loud thump."

"I-I have a bad feeling about this."

"No good, with sir Garuda in a coma, things will not be pretty if whatever that was, is trying to offend him."

"Maybe an old enemy of sir Garuda?"

"Then things will get even worse, their target will undoubtedly be the city he loved."

"Uncle, one hundred more skewers please!"

Lyon excitingly raised one of his fingers as he ordered another hundred skewers without shame. 

"Oh, oh, one fifty for me!" said Ryona before she chugged down her drinks.

Luna could only smile wryly with her eyes squinting as she heard what Ryona had just said. (I'm the one with the white tiger bloodline but, she is acting more like a tiger than me). Her thought immediately reminded her of Lumina that still had one skewer right in front of her. The latter seemed to be contemplating whether she should eat it or not while playing with the emerald necklace that Lyon got for her. (Wait a minute, since when did she had that necklace? I don't remember us buying that).

The uncle attending the stand could only gasp at these six. The loud thump seemed not to bother the six of them in the slightest. 

*Thump!

(There it is again!) thought the uncle but he could only hear the shredding meat off of his skewer. 

"You guys... aren't you the slightest worry?"

Lyon kept mounching on the meat before he slightly paused in the middle of the chew and asked, "Abou—" his eyes opened wide to a tear before he punched his chest repeatedly but to no avail.

*PaK!

Cecile that was sitting right beside him didn't hesitate before slapping his back, almost tearing his compressed suit in the process. 

The meat jumped out of his throat to his disbelief and to the laugh of the women. However, Yunesia seemed to be the only sane person from the six. She looked up in the sky expecting something. The thumping noise definitely didn't come out naturally from a volcano 

"Something is coming from the gate."

Jin and the old man furrowed their eyebrows before turning around and looked at at the gate. 

"It is obvious that they want us to look at them then let's give them a good long look," commented Jin before he crossed his arms.

"Looks like the big fish started to move as well," muttered the old man before he crossed his arms in the same direction as Jin was.

A giant daunting shadow was creeping up against the people's gasping face before it turned into fear. A screech of a giant bird reverberated the world before one after another came out of the gates. A huge fleet was upon them but one was bigger than the other and it hosted a luxurious house on its back. Three men in black robes were looking over the city with malevolent intent behind their eyes.

"What did I tell you, Garuda is still in a coma, and Treas's wanted man is in this city, this is just free cake!"

"I'm sorry I doubted you brother, haha, with this city under our regime, our influences will be much higher!"

"Two birds in one stone, and those two birds yield golden eggs, hahaha! Merry! Merry! We will have a feast tonight!"

Ayumu had rushed out of the mansion before her eyes were glaring in anger as she saw that huge fleet above in the sky. Their huge shadows had brought panic to her people, to his father's people. She gritted her teeth before she jumped toward the biggest bird of them all.

"Not so fast missy! Hahaha!" the other birds didn't just standby for nothing. An array of arrows colored the sky but one twitched of her eyebrows was enough to let her breeze through it. The repelled arrows were a sight to behold before she arrived and landed in front of the three men.

"Huh?" exclaimed the three of them before the middle one puckered up a smile.

"Well, well, well, looks like Garuda's daughter has grown up to a fine lady," said the man in the middle as he walked forward while opening his hands. Showing the gesture that he had not hidden any weapon as his wrist was plain to see.

"What do you think you're doing? My father had saved you three from the jaws of death before, and this is how you repay him?! Ungrateful fools!" shouted Ayumu as her pink hair slightly flared up with a yellow glow.

"Oi Oi, no need to be so rude to your elder now, those glaring yellow eyes of yours remind me of your father," laughed the man before being followed by his two brothers in arm.
