Chapter 494 The Man In Black

"Goodluck Host!"
"_"
Listening to the system's warnings, Landon was completely taken aback.
What the hell?
3 minutes?
Dammit!
"Your majesty... is something the matter?"
"No.... nothing at all.
I have a phone meeting in about 2 minutes.
So I'll use one of your building's phones to do that.
You all enjoy yourselves without me.
I'll be right back."
With that, Landon immediately excused himself from the celebrations and speedily walked into one of the security buildings on the District.
Luckily, he had previously done security checks and whatnot when trying to save the whales.
He showed the badge that was given to him at clearance and quickly dashed into the building as fast as he could.
The moment he walked into the building, he instantly spotted a bathroom sign beside the entrance door.
Bingo!
He quickly went into the men's bathroom, got into a stall, and vanished into thin air without a trace.
'Warp!'
And just like that, he was gone.
.
Somewhere within one of Arcadina's Coastal villages, 24 men were currently surrounded by more than 80 enemies.
These enemies had been chasing them for weeks now, and had finally caught up to them in this poor village within Arcadina.
The villagers had been attacked, killing anyone who wasn't their own.
In their minds, who knew if these villages were also working with their targets?
Seeing the innocent villagers die, their targets quickly came out of hiding and began
Their battle was very fierce... and the loud sounds of swords and other weapons could be heard clashing against each other throughout the entire village.
As for those 24 men on the battlefield who had been chased and hunted down, 2 stood out to be leaders of the pack.
They fought and coordinated within everyone in their team bravely, as tried their best to ensure that no one died.
These 2 leaders were none other than Yodan's King Sirius, and the crown Prince of Terique, Astar Parcely.
.
Yup!
When Nopline and Kamara made their move ages ago, he had quickly taken his family to the empire of Yodan.... and had kept them safe and hidden with his close friend Sirius.
The reason why they left Yodan, was because they wanted to secretly visit Baymard.
Of course when they left, they had stated that they would be going to one of Sirius' estates in Yodan instead.
So with that, all of Sirius' stepmothers had sent their goons to kill him before he reached his destination.
They had done their best to allude 95% of these goons.
But who would be known that some of them wouldn't fall for their tricks and follow them right to Arcadina?
Even though Arcadina and Yodan shared borders, they didn't want to pass through the borders, as they had previously planned to sail to Carona and use the Bay-Carona Transport ships.
For them, that would definitely be faster.
But after they realized that they were being flowed, they quickly decided to pass through Arcadina's borders instead.
This way, they could easily lose their pursuers.
After all, they didn't want these people to know where they were going.
But who would've thought that even after travelling for 3 and a half months, these people wouldn't even let them rest for just a bit?
How frustrating!
.
'Thang!'
'Thang!'
'Thang!'
'Ahhhh!'
Swords clashed with each other, and gruesome sounds of the injured could be heard a mile away.
"You all should just give up!
We have you outnumbered, so there's no miracle that will let you survive past today." Said their enemies, in the heat of the battle.
"Do you realize that he is your king?
Rather than obeying him, you're obeying his stepmothers?" Astar yelled angrily.
"HahahahaHahahaha.....
So what if they do?
We aren't on Yodan soil anymore.
So who would know about this little encounter over here?
And you!
Who do you think you are?
Aren't you just a guard or something?
Hehehhe.... well, since you want to be so loyal to him, then be a good dog and Die!" Said the enemy leader, who was already looking at them as if they were corpses.
With that, the battle commenced again fiercely.
And when Astar or Sirius weren't paying attention, one of their enemies secretly shot an arrow towards Sirius.
'Whoop!'
The arrow whistled through the air and flew towards its target like a missile.
After killing his enemy, Sirius soon spotted the arrow making its way towards him and quickly tried to defend himself... But he knew in his heart that it was too late for him to take action against the attack.
In truth, it was almost as if he was seeing it in slow motion but couldn't do anything about it.
They said that when death came for someone, it would feel like that.
Sure enough, it was true!
Sirius took a big breath as if trying to prepare himself from death.
But just when the arrow was about to hit its mark, something unexpected happened.
'Thap!'
The arrow had been caught by a strange man in black.
Everyone was utterly surprised by this strange man.
--silence--
For a moment, both enemy and ally were both I a trance.
No one had seen where the man had come from... night even those who were secretly trying to shoot arrows at their targets.
It was almost as if the man had appeared out of thin air.
But that would be too ridiculous!
Was he some sort of high-level assassin?
Yes... that might be it!
.
Just looking at the man in black, everyone immediately thought the same way too.
Even though the man in black looked like an assassin, something about his appearance left them even more confused than they were before.
If he was an assassin, then why was his face gully exposed?
Do high-level assassins not care about their identities getting exposed anymore?
His skills right now had confirmed that he was a high-level assassin... Hence they had decided to stick with that story.
After all, how many men could catch an arrow with their bare hands mid-air?
There was no doubt about it.
This man in black was an expert!
But why did his face also looked so familiar as well?
