The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 572 - Taken Into Custody

Although the explosion didn't hurt anyone, the whole stage was broken into pieces. It was made with the finest yet fragile materials so this little explosion caused it to be wrecked this easy. Anyway, what was good was that no one was hurt.

"What happened?" Erol, who was Esdat's friend, couldn't help but exclaim and stood up. The explosion caught him off guard, "How could an explosion be at this place?"

Esdat looked at the thick fog and saw two persons in it, "There were two humans inside the fog."

"What?" Erol was surprised and also looked further into the thick fog, "That's real!"

As the thick fog gradually became transparent, everyone saw the two who were standing there like statues. They had clothes that weren't part of any powers of Upper Immortal so they weren't able to recognize them.

"Who are you? Are you enemies to disrupt our joyous celebration?" Suddenly, an old man appeared out of the blue. He was the one of the leaders of the External Faction Zone, Old White.

Jin Rou and Zacharite were stumped to be dropped off in a place like this. The former immediately explained, "Hello, we aren't here to disrupt your event. We just accidentally landed off here. We can leave immediately now."

Jin Rou didn't want to start any conflict right now and would rather go to where Schwal Coffin was.

Zacharite was disguised as a human and no one could recognize his true identity, "Young Master, everyone here is nothing but fishes on the chopping board. If you insist, I can kill them all."

"Please shut your mouth for a second." Jin Rou wanted to plaster the demon's mouth for taking things to the worse level.

"So it is all your plan all along!" Old White almost believed Jin Rou for appearing so innocent. Unfortunately, Zacharite broke it and his face was filled with rage, "You have committed a sin that is worthy of death!"

Then, thousands of soldiers encircled Jin Rou and Zacharite, clearly not giving them any escape route. In fact, even the sky had soldiers situated.

"Young Master, it seems that they are eager for death." Zacharite sneered and said. He didn't mind making the blood flow here. After all, he had no connections of this place or whatsoever.

"We cannot kill them." Jin Rou took a deep sigh. If not for Zacharite's mouth running off like that, they could almost get out of this situation without anyone getting hurt.

Unfortunately, everything took a bad turn and now someone would be hurt. Well, at the very least, no one would die here.

"Wait." Just as Old White was to command attack, someone suddenly spoke. The old man came into a halt and looked at the guy who spoke and asked, "Esdat, do you have something to say?"

"They haven't clearly hurt anyone when they landed here, so why are you being aggressive?" Esdat walked over to them and said, "Master White, let me take care of them."

"What will you do with them?" Old White pondered for a moment and realized that it was true that no one was hurt during their landing. And it was also clear as day, judging by their innocent expressions, that they weren't here for malicious intentions.

"I'll take them into custody for further investigation, of course." Esdat said firmly.

"Alright." Old White thought that Esdat could do better job regarding this matter and agreed, "You take them but don't let them free unless proven not guilty."

"You can take my words." Esdat bowed and came over to Jin Rou and Zacharite, "Gentlemen, I ask you to come with me."

"Sure." Jin Rou smiled and happily nodded. Zacharite followed suit as he glared at Old White. The old man was quite lucky. Because although Zacharite couldn't kill him, he could still make him suffer that he wanted death.

After that little episode, Old White decided to pause the celebration for a day to reconstruct the broken stage.

In the Faction Headquarters. Esdat served Jin Rou and Zacharite a cup of tea. Although it wasn't expensive, it could calm the person's nerves.

They were currently located at the Interrogation Room where the two would face some amounts of questions.

"So what do you want to know?" Jin Rou didn't bother to look at the tea and directed the main topic, "Ask away. Let's not waste both of our precious time."

"Who are you and where are you from?" Esdat asked with a cold tone.

"We came from the Great Hell. I am named Jin Rou and this one called Zacharite." Jin Rou asked without lying.

"Great Hell?" Esdat was surprised, "I thought that only demons can only live there. Or are you two perhaps demons just in disguise?"

"I am a human. But Zacharite is a demon, a former captain of the demon soldiers." Jin Rou answered.

Seeing that there was no lie, Esdat nodded and asked once again, "Although there is a way to ascend here to Upper Immortal, it greatly costed so much resources to achieve it. Only the top 3 great demons of hell can do this. So how did you reach this place?"

"Using one of the great demons you mentioned." Jin Rou said, "Truly, their resources are abundant enough to make any mortals live in comfort for the rest of their lives. But in my eyes, only their scrolls were the least that caught my eyes."

"I see." Esdat nodded, "Last question. Why have you came here? Surely, you didn't venture this dangerous place to sightsee."

The Upper Immortal was way more dangerous than Great Hell. Here, behemoth powerhouses were vying for the top and be the strongest.

"I'm here to find a certain someone." Jin Rou smiled, "And I guess it's none of your business to know more about it."

"But of course." Esdat acknowledged this and said, "As things are now, you are innocent and doesn't deserve to be held liable in any accounts. So you will be freed."

"That's more like it." Jin Rou expected this and said, "But you see, you are such an upright person to boot. I bet you have so many enemies even here in your place."
