The Story Never Ends

Chapter 198 - Uninvited Guests

"This.." Siena looked at Davion chugging in seven different types of wines like water in amusement.

"Isn't he feeling anything?" She pondered. Each of these wines possessed attributes of different elements that could drive the Qi inside one berserk if taken all at once. Despite this, he seemed perfectly fine as he had already finished a few more bottles.

As for her, she had only drunk the fiery wine that he had tested at first. After all, she didn't want to take that risk. Furthermore, the foods tested much better than them.

"It seems like my Phoenix Island is lacking in this department." She thought while savoring the taste of seafood.

While they were enjoying themselves, the atmosphere in the city had become depressing. This was because lots of experts from the Golden Lion Tribe were arriving in groups. Not only that but they were being stationed in almost all the corners of the city.

The other surprising thing was that every single one of them was carrying an oval-shaped mirror in their hands that seemed to be ordinary. But everyone knew that something brought by the Golden Lion Tribe in such a large number could not be so simple.

As a result, people have become scared to come out of their houses resulting in the streets becoming empty. Only Nascent Soul and Domain Realm cultivators could be seen walking. However, they were also not at ease.

Among them, three unusual-looking people were proceeding towards the Sky Heavens Restaurant. They were all wearing cloaks and masks to hide their identities.

"Luke, I think we are being monitored." The tallest in the bunch spoke.

"Logan, now that you have said it. I can indeed feel prying gazes coming from each direction." Luke replied. He was the shortest and the fattest among them.

"Haiz, I told you two to cancel our plan today and leave this city early in the morning when we had the chance. But both of you didn't bother to listen. Now the situation has become even more precarious." Logan sighed.

"Yeah, who could have thought that the Golden Lion Tribe would go this far? I should have listened to you." A woman's voice came from the third one.

"Shut up! you two. It's no use regretting it at the moment. Let's just discuss what to do next in the Sky Heavens Restaurant." Luke suggested.

"Moreover, we don't need to worry too much. After all, they are here for someone else."

"Damn, it makes sense. How could I realize it just now?" The woman abruptly cursed, frightening them.

"Naomi, don't tell me you are planning to.." Logan panicked as one could see beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Hehe, we will stick to our original plan." She chuckled evilly.

"Naomi, I don't think it will be that easy. Besides, we might not be able to catch a single fish today. Do you think anybody will have the leisure to come here when the city is in this mess?" Luke shook his head.

"Yeah, in addition, with the city guarded this tightly, we might not be able to make our moves so openly like before," Logan added.

However, all these thoughts went out of their mind once they stepped foot into the fifth floor of the Sky Heavens Restaurant.

They saw a handsome young man and a mysterious woman surrounded by various dishes and wines from all sides. This was not the end as a child was passing various valuable materials to him.

Seeing this scene, there was only one thought ringing wildly in their minds.

"A big fish."

They exchanged glances with one another and nodded. It was not the first time they were in such a spot. They had been working together for a long time. So, with just a look they could understand each other's thoughts.

Meanwhile, Davion thanked the child and put those materials in his spirit ring. He then asked, "Siena, I've had enough here. Do you want to leave or continue tasting these foods?"

He didn't want to waste any more time in this overrated place since he was deeply disappointed.

"Yes, we can leave. I'm full here. But are you going to waste these…" Before she could finish her sentence, he swept his hand and everything vanished in the blink of an eye.

"This.." Her eyes went straight to the lamp hanging on his belt. With her sharp senses, she clearly caught this movement.

"I have a family to feed." He smiled in response and caressed it showing his affection.

"Family? Are you married?" She exclaimed in surprise. After all, she remembered him saying that he was the last remaining bloodline of the Flame Tiger Clan.

"It's not that. You will know later on." He didn't bother explaining it.

"Acting mysterious, I see. He also has a rare spatial artifact where people can enter and leave. He is still hiding more from me. How intriguing." She had a cheeky smile beneath her veil.

"Let's go." He stood up and was about to leave when three people stopped him in his tracks.

"Young Master, please wait," Naomi called out in a gentle manner.

"Yes, who might you be?" He acted politely, but he had already swept his Mind-Eye past them.

He saw their souls in the shape of a ferocious black-looking wild cat having cultivation bases at the middle stages of the Domain Realm.

"Is this a panther?" While he was pondering, they introduced themselves one by one. Nonetheless, they told him that they were traveling merchants from different tribes that met outside this place by chance.

But would Davion believe this bullshit? It's definitely no. This was because their souls have revealed that they belonged to the same tribe.

Despite knowing this, he didn't blow out their cover. He wanted to know what act they were trying to pull with a person they had just met. Thus, he went with their flow.

Moreover, to spice it up, he addressed himself as the Young Master of the Black Panther Tribe causing them to narrow their eyebrows. But the surprising thing was that they didn't lose their cool. Instead, they acted calmly like they didn't care.

"Young Master, then who is the woman behind you?" Naomi observed her from top to bottom.

"She is Siena, my childhood friend." He answered.

"Oh my! Do you mind telling us which tribe she belongs to?" Naomi tried to gather as much as intel from him to avoid any possibility of failure.

"Of course. There is no reason to hide it. She belongs to the White Panther Tribe." He lied with a straight face.

"Fuck. Do you not have any shame?" The three of them became furious inside. There was not a single bit of truth in his statement. Although they were lying like him, he took it way beyond.

They had never heard of such gibberish like the White Panther Tribe? Does it even exist? As for the Black Panther Tribe, did he recognize their identities and was mocking them? Or was it simply a coincidence?

They had many questions to ask. But they knew that they wouldn't be getting any information from him. So, they went to the next stage of their plan.

"Young Master, why don't you, and your friend join us for a drink?" Naomi suggested.

"I would like to." He agreed without any hesitation startling them all including Siena.

"What is he planning to do? I thought that he would reject it as he had finished drinking a few bottles prior to us coming." Naomi's mind was a mess.

"Young Master, why don't we head inside the compartment? It's quite comfortable there." Luke suggested.

"Please lead the way." He gave a warm innocent smile.

They proceeded forwards, and Davion slowly followed them in.

"What are you thinking? Weren't you in a hurry to go home?" Siena came close to him and whispered.

"I've changed my mind." He didn't say more than this.

"He is too cunning. Can I really trust him?" Siena became confused due to his actions.

Inside, it was not so different from the outside except for a large circular table in the middle where everyone could be seated face to face. They took their seats but didn't talk straight away but curiously gazed at each other causing the atmosphere to become awkward.

"This person is really difficult to deal with." Naomi still couldn't believe that such a naïve and good-looking boy would put them in such a tight spot. The same goes for the other two. This was the first time such an incident occurred in their lifelong experience.

They visited the Sky Heavens Restaurant of smaller cities like the Lupinus City once a month. Next, they would act as merchants and befriend a Domain Realm Expert using the expensive wines and dishes here. Then after coming out, they would find a perfect opportunity and backstab him; not forgetting to take away his spirit ring.. This was their job and their ugly way of living in this chaotic Demon Beast World.
