TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 56: Wildwick City

The walk across the plains was smooth and without a problem. But it took a little longer than expected because the group was walking.

As the horses were killed, everyone had to walk to the city.

The nobles complained the whole way, as they were tired of walking so much, the weight of the wealth they carried with them increased the weight and also increased the time of the journey. Some even asked soldiers to carry them on their backs.

Some nobles even dared to ask Liu Yang to rent the Midnight Wolf so that one of them could be carried. He refused this and threatened the nobles if they did something like that again.

No nobles liked that, they were arrogant and always think of them as the best above the others. So, Liu Yang's refusal was like a shameful action for them. This made them much angrier.

But none of them dared to cause trouble for Liu Yang, as he was much stronger than everyone. The nobles even forgot that he was the one who helped them before.

The walk into the city took several days and several nights until finally the tall gates of Wildwick City were seen.

"We finally arrived in the city, we will be safe after we pass through the gate" Chief of soldiers Kleed spoke with glee. The past few days have been very tiring for him.

The nobles were happy to see this scene, they started running towards the gate as if it were a treasure.

"Stop !!!! Identify yourself first !!!! " A group of guards appeared before the nobles covered in dirt and blood. They looked like a group of beggars if it weren't for the jewelry and gold they carried.

"Guards, we are members of the Nolli family"

"I am a member of the Ravire family !!!"

"We are from the Berel family"

The nobles started shouting the names of their families to make the guards clear the way.

"Are you the ones who were traveling from Midmire City to Wildwick City?"

"Yes, we are"

"What happened? We need to warn the heads of your families about this "

"We were attacked by a group of assassins, they were trying to kill a noblewoman who was traveling with us"

"I see"

"Welcome, leader" The guards made gestures of welcome to the chief of the Kleed soldiers when they saw him coming.

"You are doing a good job."

"Leader, who is this young man?" The guards realized that Liu Yang was different from the others because of his clothes and aura.

"He is Hawk River, a passerby. He was the one who helped us deal with the assassins. If it weren't for him, we would all be dead. Can you let us in? Our horses and carriages were destroyed in the assassination attempt, and we had to walk to the city "Chief of guards Kleed introduced Liu Yang. His tone was one of veneration and thanksgiving.

Even a middle-aged man like him did not have the power that Liu Yang had in his youth.

"You can come in." The guards did not dare to interrupt the group and opened the way for them to enter.

(This is amazing !!! These scenes look like they came out of an MMO. A small city is totally different from the beginner village) Liu Yang thought.

The sight that appeared before Liu Yang after he passed through the portal was incredible.

Majestic and decorated buildings, thousands of people running through the streets, merchants screaming. Commoners were the majority of people in the city and they all wore low-quality cloth, many of them wearing dirty clothes. The nobles were few and wore refined, high-quality clothing.

This type of scene resembled a city in RPG games.

The nobles split up and each group returned to their homes.

"Mister River, I would like to know if you could accompany us to the Ashton family mansion" Chief of the soldiers Kleed wanted to try to tie Liu Yang or make a good friendship with him.

"I will only escort Miss Rachil to the mansion, after that, our paths will be different" Liu Yang just confirmed what he had said before.

"I thank Mr. River for your help"

The group crossed the wide and crowded streets, Liu Yang's group attracted many looks because of the giant sword on his back, the white wolf, a brown falcon, and a giant butterfly. It was very rare for a person to have more than one animal as a companion.

The Ashton family mansion was located in the western area of the city. The mansion was large with hundreds of maids and butlers. Many people wearing refined clothes walked around the mansion.

At the entrance to the mansion, there was a group of nobles and soldiers waiting. When they saw a group approaching, the woman ran desperately towards them.

"My dear daughter, you are finally back !!! I missed you so much !! Are you hurt ?? " A beautiful woman wearing elegant clothes hugged Rachil tightly.

"Mom, I'm fine. Nothing happened to me "Rachil also hugged her mother tightly.

The events of a few days ago were still on her mind.

"Chief of soldiers Kleed, I just learned that my daughter's caravan and other nobles were ambushed, is that true?" A middle-aged man walked up to the chief of soldiers Kleed and asked.

"Mr. Ashton, this is true. A group of assassins tried to kill her, but our friend helped us and we managed to get back alive "Chief of soldiers Kleed pointed at Liu Yang and his group.

"Chief of Kleed soldiers, it looks like your friends are gone. They left after Rachil got here" Rachil's father saw that Liu Yang was already gone and disappeared into the crowd.

Rachil looked at the crowd and did not see the image of Liu Yang or Callie, she felt a little sad because of that.

"Mr. Ashton, can we talk inside the mansion? It's not very good to talk here "

"We will. Rachil, the accommodations are ready, you rest. The trip was long "Rachil's mother took her inside the mansion.

Her father and the chief of soldiers Kleed also entered with the other guards.

Inside the main room of the Ashton mansion. Chief of soldiers Kleed and Rachil's father were seated around a table.

"Jaro, the situation is more complicated than it appears. The assassins did not comment on who ordered it unless we pay a high price for them to speak the identity of the clients. But I think this is something planned by Sobek or Ryder. " The chief of soldiers Kleed commented to Jaro Ashton, he is Rachil's father.

"There are rumors that the Helton and Breeden family managed to put their children in the kingdom's royal academy. This made them more arrogant than before. They are thinking that they can cause problems on all sides. But I think it is unlikely that they will try to kill my daughter. This will not bring any benefit to them. Someone else must have done it, "Jaro Ashton spoke coolly. He did not know who was responsible for sending the assassins to kill his daughter.

"Jaro, do you need someone to investigate this matter?"

"I already have some people in mind to ask. Leaving this matter aside. Kleed, can you tell me more about the group you met during the trip? "

"Are you referring to Mr. River and his maid? Mr. River is the most amazing young man I've ever seen in my life. He did something that I think is impossible to do at his age "

"What did he do?"

"He fights against five hundred nocturnal creatures alone and with bare hands"

"..." Jaro Ashton was very shocked to hear those words. He knows how dangerous it is to stay outside a barrier at night.

"Is this serious? Did this young man manage to do that? " It took Jaro Ashton a while to recover.

"Yes. He did it, but it wasn't for just one day, he did it for several weeks straight. Every night, he fought the night beasts together with his maid and the three beasts "

"I see ... Do you think he is a Traveler?" Jaro Ashton's face became serious. He knew the status and powers of travelers from another world.

"I don't know, if he is, he's one of the most powerful people I've ever seen. I have never seen a traveler from another world as young and powerful as him before "

"I see ... Should I investigate this young man?"

"Jaro, you better not do this. This young man does not seem to be the type who likes to be investigated. The other nobles of the caravan tried to rent his wolf, but he rejected it. He must not like others to try to find out about his life. Having a friendly relationship with him is the best thing possible "

"Do you know where he is? I still need to thank him for saving my daughter. "

"You can send some people over to try to find out his whereabouts."

"I will do this"

It wasn't just Jaro Ashton who had that goal, many other nobles, who found out about Liu Yang's power, are also looking for it.

These nobles want to recruit Liu Yang to be part of their member.
