Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Shadow Arbiter (Third Release)
Xiao Bell stood atop a towering building, leaning over to view the black beasts in the distance.
“Are those… the legendary Scorpions of Sin?” Xiao Bell said indifferently.
“You only brought so few people with you? You’ve got some nerve!”
A trace of excitement appeared on Xiao Bell’s face, and his mood became restless.
After all, the person he faced was a dark lord as renowned as his own father.
If he could behead him tonight, Xiao Bell’s prestige would skyrocket once again, and the Bell Family would become the city’s true King.
“Shadow Arbiters, move out!” Xiao Bell ordered.
“Yes!” A response came from the shadows, and then countless black figures swept across the sky.
As the Bell Family’s sole heir, Xiao Bell was naturally doted upon.
Even for this mission, the family had assigned him their most elite Shadow Arbiters!
In the City of Sin, the underlings of the three dark giants each had their own elite forces.
Griffin’s dark disciples.
The Poison Scorpion Queen’s Scorpions of Sin!
But more famous than them, and recognized as the most powerful, were the Bell Family’s Shadow Arbiters.
It was said that the Bell Family had spent decades nurturing these individuals, each one incredibly formidable.
Xiao Bell stood on the rooftop watching the Shadow Arbiters blot out the sun, feeling a surge of pride rising in his heart.
From now on, the City of Sin will have only the Bell Family!
At that moment.
Members of the Scorpions of Sin outside the bar continued to chat idly.
Suddenly.
A shadow swept by.
The woman sitting in the driver’s seat collapsed, blood trickling from her throat.
This slight noise also alarmed the women in black.
“What was that noise?” someone exclaimed.
Those close to the car doors immediately opened them.
Outside was deadly silent.
The women in black looked at each other, all frowning.
This silence carried an ominous air.
But as warriors who constantly skirted the edge of life and death, death and blood were their daily bread.
So, although they knew something had gone wrong, everyone remained calm.
They silently took up their weapons and then stepped out of the car, relying on each other.
The night was unnaturally black.
Even the moonlight had vanished.
Suddenly.
Just as these women in black reached the middle of the street, ready to enter the bar.
Countless shadows flew in from afar.
The women in black didn’t hesitate to raise their firearms, preparing to shoot.
The shadows rushed forward.
Two black torrents collided on the street.
The sounds of breaking limbs, spurting blood, and the metallic clanging of blade against blade all mingled together.
Forming a cruel symphony.
But among these, there were no screams.
Both sides of the battle were terrifyingly silent.
Even death could not make them groan.
As warriors who walked out of dark purgatory, no matter who, they had all become fearless of life and death.
Even Xiao Bell, who was watching from afar, couldn’t help but show admiration.
“Truly commendable dark warriors indeed!”
But in comparison with the overwhelming numbers of the Shadow Arbiters, the Scorpions of Sin were few, and under such a hasty defense, suffered heavy losses.
Very soon.
Most of these black-clad women had fallen.
The remaining ones, each injured, stood back to back, warily watching the dark figure in the sky.
“It’s a Shadow Arbiter!” someone whispered.
“The Bell Family has made their move, we must notify Her Majesty the Queen at once!” another said in a deep voice.
“I just tried, but this street has been blockaded by the shadows, no messages can get out!”
At this moment, Xiao Bell slowly approached from the direction of the street, smiling as he said, “Although you are women, you are respectable. If you lay down your weapons now, I might consider sparing you!”
“Xiao Bell!” the remaining members of the City of Sin scorpion group called out sternly.
Then, after exchanging glances, they slowly raised their guns.
“What a pity!”
Xiao Bell wasn’t surprised by this outcome, so he merely bowed his head slightly, and then the Shadow Arbiters flew past him from behind.
“All for our Lady Queen!” the members of the City of Sin scorpion group shouted at last, as they pulled their triggers.
The gunfire flickered for a few moments before being devoured by the dark shadows of the Arbiters.
A grinding, teeth-gritting sound followed,
as if a monster were chewing on flesh and blood, which was spine-chilling.
Afterward, as the darkness dispersed, only a puddle of blood remained on the ground, not even bones were left.
“What a pleasant night!” exclaimed Xiao Bell.
“What do you think, if the scorpion queen finds out her subordinates died tragically outside while she’s inside celebrating her birthday, wouldn’t she be upset?” Xiao Bell said with relish.
No one responded.
These Shadow Arbiters were always silent warriors.
“Alright, surround this bar, I’m going to have a heart-to-heart with our Queen!”
Xiao Bell was in a very good mood.
As he spoke, Xiao Bell pushed open the door and walked into the bar.
At that time, everyone inside the bar was drunk.
Only Wen Sinan and Xue An and a few others were still slowly drinking their liquor.
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian were enjoying the juice specially mixed for them by Old Stonemason!
When Xiao Bell walked in.
Many people didn’t pay too much attention to him.
Xiao Bell then looked at Wen Sinan and said with a slight smile, “Lady Queen? Happy Birthday!”
This sentence caused no reaction in Wen Sinan, she even continued to drink with a smile.
Only Xue An’s mouth curved up, revealing a meaningful smile.
“I think I should apologize because I just accidentally killed all of Your Majesty’s subordinates!” Xiao Bell’s words finally caught Wen Sinan’s attention.
She turned her head and looked at him, her gaze growing colder.
“What did you say?”
“You could try calling them, see if they are still around!”
Wen Sinan felt a pang, her expression changed, then she put down her wine glass and slowly stood up, an authoritative aura gradually emerging.
“Xiao Bell?”
“Indeed, it is I!” said Xiao Bell beamingly.
“Very well! Your Bell Family has successfully enraged me! Prepare to suffer my wrath!” Wen Sinan stated coldly.
At this moment, everyone in the bar who had been drunk was now sobering up.
Because many had finally heard the conversation between the two.
This man was none other than the famous Xiao Bell!
And this woman….
“Scorpion Queen, I too regret this. However, you probably won’t have to be mad anymore, because tonight, this bar will be your final resting place!”
Scorpion Queen!
This title made everyone in the bar gasp.
Especially Griffin, whose expression changed drastically.
This woman, she was the Scorpion Queen?
