Chapter 361 - The Fire Monarch’s Dilemma
Truth was, even before the Fire Monarch had entered the restaurant, Ling Chen had already spotted him and his subordinates.
As matter of fact, he was expecting their arrival the moment he had killed the young master of the Lester Family and acquired his memories.
At first, he had planned on slaughtering all of them on the spot but changed his mind at the last minute.
He realized that even if he were to kill all of them, the Lester Family would still send more people after them.
Though he wasn't afraid of the Lester Family, he didn't like the idea of being chased like a criminal and constantly being disturbed by a group of flies just like today.
As such, rather than waiting for them to come after him, he would instead go to them and destroy them once and for all and be done with it.
.........…..
While Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura Gods continued to enjoy their food, the Fire Monarch just stood there like a statue without making a sound.
Earlier, he was such in a rush to apprehend Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura Gods that he didn't even bother to truly evaluate their true strength.
Furthermore, even if he did, he wouldn't have been able to see through Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura Gods.
How could a mere Domain God be able to see through a Primordial and Heaven-defying race such as the Primordial Shura Gods?
From the report the Fire Monarch got from the spies in Hollow City as well as the visual recording, he was told that the culprits were at most Peak Original God realm experts while the leader and the one were that fighting the city lord was an Early Stage Domain God realm experts.
Such lineup was nothing in his eyes as he was a middle stage Domain God realm expert with a pseudo artifact weapon.
Furthermore, he had the backing of the Lester Family which had several Peak Domain God realm experts and one God Transformation Realm, expert.
However, now he realized just how wrong the report was. These people weren't Original God realm experts, they were all peak Domain God realm experts.
Nonetheless, that wasn't the frightening part. If they were all peak Domain God realm experts, their Lester Family still could have dealt with them if they went all out even though they would have suffered some heavy losses and damages in the process.
The most frightening thing was that the leader seemed to be a God-King powerhouse, not a God Transformation realm expert but a God-king.
Though the leader did his best to hide his aura, the brief spiritual pressure and overwhelming presence he felt earlier was none other than that of a God-King realm expert.
The Fire Monarch could not believe that he was trying to apprehend a God-King expert. How crazy was that?
Even all the experts of the Lester Family combined wouldn't last an hour in front of such an expert, yet he wanted to capture him alone.
The Fire Monarch felt a cold chill ran down his spine just by thinking about it.
At this moment, he could only stand there like a statue while shivering inside and waiting for them to finish their meal.
In fact, the Fire Monarch shouldn't even be the one taking care of such an easy task. There was a special squad within the Punisher Legion that took care of things like that.
However, the Fire Monarch was an extremely greedy person. The only reason he took that task was because he knew about the treasures from the God-King Tomb and that young master Cain was chasing after the person who acquired them.
However, he didn't know who exactly. Furthermore, the Punisher Legion was forbidden from assisting and intervening in the competition of the young heirs. As such, he couldn't do anything.
Now, after knowing that young master Cain was killed, he didn't waste any time as he quickly took the mission to bring back the culprits. He believed that whoever killed young master Cain was in the possession of the treasures.
However, he didn't expect that his greed would send him directly into the den of a pack of ferocious beasts. At this moment, he regretted ever taking that damn mission. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret.
Not only did he bring a disaster upon himself, he even brought a disaster upon the Lester Family as well if they couldn't handle things well.
......…
Soon, Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura Gods finally cleared out the entire table that was filled with delicious dishes and drinks.
After he was done, he called out to the waitress that was serving them. At this moment, the young waitress was even more respectful as she stood in front of Ling Chen and the Primordial Gods.
Even though she was on the first floor, hiding in a corner, she didn't get burnt as she was protected by a mysterious power.
She wasn't stupid, she knew that it was Ling Chen that has protected her. Otherwise, she would have turned into ashes along with everything within the room.
"Thank you for your great service. The food was delicious and the wine you recommended was also to my liking."Ling Chen said with a slight smile on his face.
"Here, take this. That's my reward for everything. You just need to drop a drop of your blood on it and you'll know about its wondrous use" He added before throwing a token of the Akasha Spiritual World to the waitress.
Once he was done, he shifted his cold gaze towards the shivering Fire Monarch and said:" Alright, I'm done now. Let's go to your headquarters for questioning or whatever."
Hearing this, the Fire Monarch almost shit on himself. He didn't believe that Ling Chen was serious about it.
This must be a joke!
However, before he could say anything, Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura Gods left the first floor of the restaurant and flew towards the Punisher Battleship in the sky.
As the Fire Monarch didn't give any order, the soldiers of the Punisher Legion didn't dare to stop them. Plus, they also saw what happened through the window.
As for the Fire Monarch, he could only smile nervously as he followed them and flew towards the battleship as well.
