Chapter 331 - Gaze In The Darkness

Chapter 331: Gaze In The Darkness

“Are you serious?!!”

The City Lord sat in the center of the hall, on a luxurious chair. His pair of cold eyes were like poisonous snakes as he scrutinized the guard who came to report the news.

“It’s...”

The guard nodded abruptly. However, he had just spoken when he was rendered speechless by the City Lord’s imposing manner. He swallowed his saliva before continuing:

“It’s absolutely true! I was on a routine patrol in the suburbs today. However, he suddenly saw flames soaring into the sky. The sounds of explosions and miserable screams could be heard endlessly. It was at Erli Slope! The situation at that time was too complicated, and I was alone, so I didn’t...”

“After I saw it, I immediately returned to report to you!”

“Erli Slope...”

The City Lord muttered to himself. He didn’t care about the guard’s words at all. This made the head guard sigh in relief. Previously, he was afraid that he would be scolded by the City Lord.

Before this, the City Lord had specially given an order. If any special circumstances were discovered within the capital, he would be the first to be reported to, just like what the guard was doing at this moment.

“Leave! Bring a few more people and go to Erli slope to investigate the situation.”

The City Lord waved his hand at the guard, signaling him to leave. When the City Lord saw this, the nervousness on his face was swept away. He hurriedly left and disappeared in front of the main hall. He did not want to stay a second longer.

Not only did the City Lord know Erli slope, but he also knew the route Fu Hu and the others had taken. They had to pass through this place.

He hadn’t expected such a situation to happen. There were Jin Cheng, Zhang Lie, and a few hundred people from the City Lord’s estate there. He wasn’t worried that something unexpected would happen.

“Could it be Lin Bai?”

The City Lord frowned and immediately shook his head, dispelling this thought. Based on his understanding of Lin Bai, Lin Bai would not do such a thing.

He had the urge to immediately rush over and see what was going on. However, the City Lord’s estate was already weak internally. If he were to leave as well…

Suddenly!

The City Lord’s eyes emitted a dazzling cold light. He suddenly turned his head to look at the bewitching entrance behind him.

“Could it be?!!”

…

“Sigh, without those annoying fellows, the capital city is much quieter!”

Fu Hu sighed as he walked.

He and Fatty returned to the capital city together. In the beginning, there were a few spies keeping an eye on them, but they were easily taken care of by them. After that, they never saw any members of the City Lord’s estate again.

“Hehe!” A smile appeared on Fatty’s fierce face as he held two drumsticks in each of his hands. “If we go to the City Lord’s Estate now, won’t it be like entering an uninhabited realm!”

Fatty ate as he chewed on the drumsticks. Fu Hu couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “That’s easy to think. There’s still the City Lord overseeing the place. Why don’t you distract him and let me enter an uninhabited realm?”

“Cough cough!” Fatty shook his head. “The two of us have risked our lives and are wearing the same pair of pants. Do you have the heart to send me to my death?”

“F * ck you. Who’s wearing the same pair of pants as you?” Fu Hu rolled his eyes at Fatty again.

While the two of them were talking, the City Lord’s estate appeared in front of them. On the other side of a noisy and lively street was a quiet street. After walking past this street was the City Lord’s estate.

From where they were, they could see the tall buildings in the City Lord’s estate from afar.

“Let’s go this way!”

Fu Hu brought Fatty and turned into a small alley on the right. Following the small alley, they turned left and right. They successfully arrived at the west side of the City Lord’s estate.

The Fatty stuck his head out from the alley and sized up the City Lord’s Estate. He had observed for a long time but did not see any patrolling personnel. This made him even more certain that the City Lord’s Estate was currently suffering from internal weakness.

The two of them successfully snuck into the City Lord’s Estate. After entering the Estate, they saw quite a number of guards patrolling around.

“The City Lord’s Estate used the method of relaxing the outer layer and tightening the inner layer. They transferred all the people outside back into the Estate and increased the intensity of the patrols in the Estate... It’s a very smart move.” Fu Hu muttered, “Let’s not expose ourselves first and then investigate the situation.”

The two entered a pavilion and hid in a corner. In the courtyard next to them was the City Lord’s main hall.

The two guards walked side by side.

“Sigh! When will this day end? Back then, the people in the City Lord’s Estate would just muddle along and take advantage of the situation.”

“Shh! Shut up. If the City Lord hears this, even I will be punished!”

“It’s all that Lin Bai’s fault! The Estate was already short of manpower, and he sent out a few hundred people today. What a torture!”

“However... The City Lord has just given the order that no one is allowed to go near his main hall. Even if someone wants to pass on some news, he must first pass it on to the City Lord’s subordinate so that his subordinate can make a decision... What do you think the City Lord is planning to do?”

“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know either. I just want to... Yawn and sleep!”

One of the guards yawned while the other had a solemn expression on his face. Just like that, the two of them passed by the pavilion.

In the dark, Fatty and Fu Hu looked at each other as if they were confirming something.

“Could it be that the City Lord has discovered that Lin Bai and the others are still in the secret passage?”

“If that’s not the case, then it doesn’t make sense for him to not let anyone get close to the main hall!”

At this point in time, Fatty no longer pretended with Fu Hu and admitted that Lin Bai was in the secret chamber.

“Is it possible that he planned to enter the main hall himself to do something...”

For some reason, Fu Hu’s guess made Fatty feel a chill all over his body, as if something bad had happened.

“Shall we go and take a look?”

Fatty asked and observed Fu Hu’s expression.

“Let’s go!” Fu Hu answered without the slightest hesitation.

It was no wonder. Even though the City Lord’s Estate was heavily patrolled, the lack of manpower would still create some loopholes.

In addition, Jin Cheng and Zhang Lie, who were difficult opponents, had already been dealt with. It could be said that as long as they did not encounter the City Lord, no one would be able to do anything to them.

“Who is it?!”

“Ah...”

After entering the courtyard where the City Lord’s main hall was located, they dealt with two guards the moment they landed on the ground. They then threw the corpses into the nearby bushes to cover them up so that they would not be discovered.

“Hiss... do you feel that the City Lord’s Estate is a little mysterious right now? Do you feel that something is not right?”

Fatty looked at the City Lord’s Estate. He had been here several times, but this was the first time he had such a special feeling!

“Yes!” Fu Hu’s expression was solemn. “A little.”

As the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the side of the City Lord’s main hall.

After they made sure that all the people around them had been quietly taken care of by them, they quietly opened a window in the main hall, poked their heads in and carefully looked around, praying in their hearts that the City Lord would not be here!

“As expected, the City Lord is not here. It’s very likely that he has entered the secret chamber!”

Fatty’s expression was a little heavy. He still hoped that the City Lord was in the main hall. Only then would Lin Bai and Skinny be safe, and the City Lord wouldn’t discover their tracks..

“Do you feel that there’s something staring at us... in the main hall!”
