Night gradually fell.
At that moment, above the residence of Li
Juntang...
Two figures hovered in mid-air, silently
overlooking the mansion, taking in every detail of what was happening below.
The newcomers were none other than the God
Kings Zeus and Hera.
“This is the place.”
Zeus and Hera exchanged glances, then turned
into two beams of light, crashing down at the front gate. The two guards
stationed there were instantly knocked unconscious by the shockwave.
Zeus casually raised his hand. With a
loud boom, the mansion's gates exploded on the spot, turning into
dust.
A powerful aura instantly engulfed the entire
estate.
“Who dares to be so bold?! How dare you
trespass into the Third Prince’s residence?!”
Hearing the commotion, two personal
guards, Zhang He and Wu Yong, led a large group of soldiers
rushing out, quickly surrounding Zeus and Hera.
Feeling the terrifying aura exuding from the
two, both Zhang He and Wu Yong were inwardly alarmed, their expressions growing
tense.
“Where is Logan Rhys?” Zeus stood with
hands behind his back, his voice cold and indifferent he didn't regard the
surrounding guards at all.
“I don’t care who you are. Leave immediately,
or don’t blame us for being rude!” Zhang He said sternly.
“Fools.”
Zeus snorted and lightly pointed a finger.
A thick bolt of purple lightning shot out,
striking Zhang He square in the chest.
Boom!
In the next moment, Zhang He’s body exploded
into a cloud of blood mist completely annihilated.
“What?!”
The onlookers’ faces changed drastically they
were in disbelief.
General Zhang was the strongest among them, a
martial master close to peak perfection. He was one of the top experts in all
of Stonia.
But they never imagined that such a powerful
man would be instantly killed with a single move!
He didn’t even have the chance to resist.
“I’ll ask one more time where is Logan
Rhys?”
Zeus spoke coldly again, lightning crackling
from his fingertips, full of menace.
At his level, killing a regular martial master
was no different than squashing an ant.
“Could it be… are you the God King Zeus of the
Hall of Gods?” Wu Yong quickly realized who he was.
The man’s Western features and his ability to
instantly kill a martial arts master with lightning who else but Zeus could
wield such power?
“Hmph. You do have some insight.”
Zeus sneered. “Since you know my name, then
you’d better answer honestly. Otherwise you’ll all die.”
“Your Excellency, the one you're looking for
Logan Rhys is not in the mansion. He left earlier,” Wu Yong quickly responded.
He figured Zeus must be after Logan Rhys.
“He left?” Zeus frowned. “Where did he go?”
“Logan Rhys is elusive. We really don’t know
his whereabouts,” Wu Yong shook his head repeatedly.
“You don’t know?” Zeus’s face darkened. “Then
you’re of no use to me.”
As he spoke, Zeus raised his hand, preparing
to slaughter them all.
“Wait!”
Wu Yong’s legs nearly gave out from fear. He
quickly said, “We may not know where Logan Rhys is right now, but we can
help you find him. Our network spreads across all of Stonia we can locate him
soon!”
Hearing this, Zeus slowly lowered his hand.
Although the Hall of Gods had some forces
stationed in Stonia, they had to act carefully and couldn’t fully infiltrate
every corner. With Li Juntang’s people helping with the investigation, the
process would be much quicker and save trouble.
“I’ll give you one day. If I don’t have
news by tomorrow, I’ll wipe this entire residence off the map,” Zeus
threatened.
“Absolutely! Absolutely!” Wu Yong nodded
repeatedly.
In front of a world-class master like this, he
had no room to negotiate.
If he even dared to say no, a single lightning
strike would turn him into ashes on the spot.
No matter what, he had to agree first
and stay alive. As for what happens after, let Li Juntang figure that
out.
“Let’s go.”
Zeus said nothing more. With a light step, he
soared into the night sky and vanished completely.
Hera, on the other hand, exhaled softly toward
Wu Yong and the others, releasing a stream of black death energy that
surged into their bodies.
“Don’t even think about running. If you fail,
you’ll all die.”
She sneered, then turned into a cloud of smoke
and disappeared.
Once the two had completely left, Wu Yong
collapsed, his legs giving out, drenched in cold sweat.
The remaining soldiers were all pale, with the
look of survivors of a catastrophe.
The pressure Zeus and Hera gave off
was simply overwhelming.
Especially the scene of Zhang He’s body
exploding it left a permanent scar on their minds.
It would haunt them forever.
After sitting stunned for a while, Wu Yong
finally snapped back to reality. He scrambled to his feet and rushed toward the
courtyard where Li Juntang lived.
This was no longer a matter a mere vice-general
could handle. It had to be reported to the prince immediately.
If possible, they would have to mobilize
the imperial inner guards to counter the threat.
Whether they could stop them, however… was another matter altogether. - Vivek
