“Hey, how far more do we have to walk?”
Yelena was wearing high heels and could not take it anymore. She squatted on the ground and refused to continue walking.
She complained, “Why do we have to walk when we could’ve just gone by car?”
“It’s right ahead. How about I get a taxi to bring you to a hotel for some rest?”
As soon as he uttered those words, Yelena stood up.
“Never!”
She walked toward James, pouted, and said, “Don’t even think about leaving me behind!”
After walking for a distance, a villa district came into sight.
At that moment, a few mercenaries dressed in camouflage uniforms and armed with weapons rushed toward them, barricading their path.
Seeing the approaching group of people, Yelena’s curiosity was piqued.
“Wow! They’re mercenaries.”
Yelena was Durandal’s Princess and had experienced all sorts of occurrences. Rather than feeling fearful, she was thrilled by the scene.
“Who are you three?”
A middle-aged man with a machine gun approached and scanned the trio.
James stepped forward.
As soon as he took the step, dozens of machine guns pointed at him.
He waved his hand and motioned for the others not to move. Then, he said with a smile, “I’m James from the Dragon Palace. I have an appointment with Mr. Woods.”
“Dragon Palace?”
The leader of the group of mercenaries was confused.
He had never heard of the Dragon Palace before.
However, the higher-ups had relayed the message that a person named James would visit at night.
The leader recollected himself and ordered, “Search them.”
James only brought the Blade of Justice with him.
Other than his sword, he did not carry any other weapons.
He sensibly cooperated with them and raised his hands, allowing them to search him.
“Hand me your sword. You’re not allowed to carry any weapons, not even a sword.”
James contemplated for a while, then threw the Blade of Justice to them.
The other party reached out to catch the sword, but it slipped and fell to the ground.
He bent down and picked it up. He unsheathed the Blade of Justice and praised, “Impressive sword.”
James warned them, “Keep it safe for me. The consequences of losing it will be grave.”
The leader put the sword back into the scabbard and threw it to the subordinate behind him, saying,”
Search the other two.”
Henry was very cooperative with the search.
Meanwhile, Yelena was dissatisfied by their actions and shouted, “How dare you touch the Princess with your filthy hands?”
“Not cooperating? Detain her.”
The leader’s expression darkened, and he gestured to his subordinate.
One of the subordinates immediately approached Yelena with a gun.
“How dare you! You rebels!” Yelena was furious.
James was troubled by her behavior.
Bringing her along proved to be incredibly troublesome.
Initially, he did not want to cause any problems and met up with Zyaire to ask for help investigating Delilah’s whereabouts.
However, he had no choice but to take action.
In a flash, he disappeared from sight.
A few seconds later, he returned to his original spot.
Dozens of the mercenaries armed with weapons fell to the ground, growling in pain.
“Huh?”
Yelena was dumbfounded.
Before she could process what had happened, the mercenaries had fallen to the ground in pain.
“J-James, you…”
Yelena’s pretty face was full of shock as she stared at James.
James said with a smile, “I didn’t want to hurt anyone, but I can’t stand still while the Princess is being. bullied. Alright, let’s go.”
He turned around and strode forward.
