The moment the Meteorite Guards appeared, Chen Yu expected the farce to end.
He didn't want to stir up more trouble.
If he were still the free-spirited explorer he once was, drifting through various cave-plane locations, he would have slapped this inexplicable person into sobriety without a second thought.
What was he being so smug about?
Bringing a few Golden Realm escorts, it made him act like he owned the entire city. In the end, he didn't even recognize Roni, just a swaggering, pathetic punk.
It was only because Chen Yu was holding back that he didn't turn him into a pretzel.
The problem was—
He was no longer alone, as he had a city behind him, with hundreds of thousands of people living within.
That city was a sanctuary for the survivors and a home for the refugees.
Chen Yu could act on his own impulses.
Slap the punk a couple of times, kick him, or even kill him, and he might feel satisfied, but what about the others in the city?
What about his trusted subordinates?
Lu Silide was definitely not a major figure; Roni not knowing him indicated he was just an obscure nobody.
However, the person behind him might be.
Being so brazen in a main city, disregarding the kingdom's constitution, he must have his backing. Read novels here.
The King of Hell is easy to appease, but minor devils are hard to deal with.
Chen Yu truly didn't want to provoke these dogs who barked everywhere relying on their backers, because no one knew what they might do.
Unexpectedly, Lu Silide showed no concern seeing the Meteorite Guards.
"Playing spooky!"
Lu Silide, with disdain etched on his face, sneered at Chen Yu.
"If you're looking for death, don't blame me!"
"Hey?!" Chen Yu, standing amidst the Meteorite Guards, looked surprised, blinking, "Don't you recognize these guards beside me?"
"What guards, what not guards, all of you, attack!"
With Lu Silide's shout, several Golden Realm experts charged forward.
Chen Yu stood silently in the midst of the Meteorite Guards.
The outcome, as one might expect.
Meteorite Guards were forged from meteorites, possessing Obsidian Realm strength with just one magic crystal, completely overwhelming those Golden Realm beastmen.
In less than half a minute, the Meteorite Guards returned to their positions.
Lu Silide's Golden Realm escorts were all lying on the ground, groaning in pain, while Chen Yu had only deployed two Meteorite Guards from the beginning.
Seeing his escorts fall, Lu Silide's eyes showed panic.
How was this possible?
The people he recruited were all Golden Realm experts.
Anyone placed in a town on the outskirts would not only be among the best but definitely among the top tier. Even in a main city, a Golden Realm expert could hold a position and be admired.
In the past, people would falter upon seeing these Golden Realm experts.
They wouldn't dare to compete with him anymore.
He never imagined that the guards beside this raggedly dressed person could instantly kill his escorts.
What was the realm of these guards?
Obsidian Realm?
How could such peak experts, the Obsidian Realm, be willing to act as bodyguards for others?
What was this person's background?
Lu Silide suddenly felt he had provoked someone he absolutely couldn't afford to offend. He swallowed, his heart uneasy, but his expression showed no fear.
The person before him might indeed have a strong background, but he also had pillars of support.
"You, you have a lot of nerve!" Lu Silide shouted, his eyes wide, "No wonder you dared to be so arrogant with me, so you have some ability, but don't you..."
Just as Lu Silide was about to utter threats, Chen Yu had already left with his people.
He was too lazy to waste more time with such a person.
"Truly a petty scumbag," the little demon, with arms crossed, pouted, "He doesn't even recognize Meteorite Guards and still talks big. Chen Yu, you should have killed him."
"I'm quite surprised too."
Chen Yu, with a smile in his eyes, couldn't help but shake his head.
"He's really just a nobody. No wonder Roni didn't recognize him."
"Why would I recognize someone like that?" Roni pouted, "I associate with the nobility of the cave-planes. While those people might not be good people in private, they act quite respectable in public."
"Spot on!"
Chen Yu chuckled and gave a thumbs-up.
The so-called nobility were merely outwardly glamorous. They paid close attention to their public image, put on a facade, and built a persona.
However, few truly adhered to it in private.
They would infinitely amplify their desires to alleviate the pressure they faced in the spotlight.
Where there is light, there is darkness.
The brighter the place, the darker it truly is. kanδん
"I just don't know if that kid will come back for revenge," Hei Dou whispered, frowning, "Look at him, that look of defiance. It's very possible he'll come back later, what a hassle."
Hei Dou sighed, and Chen Yu rubbed his head.
"You're starting to think too?"
"Hehe, it's all thanks to you teaching me well, Boss." Hei Dou grinned, and Chen Yu smiled slightly, "Don't worry about him. If he wants to come, let him come. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. The troubles we'll face after reaching the Royal City will surely be more troublesome than this little scumbag. If he can't even solve this, how can he enter the Royal City?"
"Boss is right~!"
Hei Dou cheerfully agreed, rubbing his little belly.
"Can we go eat now? Didn't Sister Roni just say she found a restaurant? I really want to experience the cuisine of the main city."
"I won't disappoint you."
Roni's eyes also showed a smile, and she looked at Chen Yu again.
"Don't worry, if he causes trouble again, I'll contact my network to help you sort it out. I've been in the kingdom for so long, I can handle this."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Chen Yu wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement.
The few of them walked away side by side,
Leaving Lu Silide in his original spot, looking like a clown.
The residents of the street block couldn't help but murmur upon seeing this scene. Lu Silide's eyes widened as he yelled at the onlookers.
"What are you looking at? Do you all want to die?"
The people retreated in fear. Lu Silide, clenching his fists, felt immense humiliation and kicked the Golden escorts fiercely.
"Useless, all of you are useless!"
"Get up quickly, do you want to keep embarrassing yourselves here?"
Lu Silide cursed fiercely. The escorts on the ground struggled to get up, while he stared intently at Chen Yu's departing figure, gritting his teeth.
"You, you just wait for me!"
