In a dim alley, Ze Kai was hurrying along with three Beastgirls.
“Young Master, aren’t we going home?” You Ying asked curiously.
“Not going back.”
“Oh.” The girl responded and said no more.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a dead end, and Ze Kai stopped.
“Young Master, should we make a move?” Shuang Ya asked with a fierce expression.
Ze Kai turned around and said, “Everyone, come out.”
No one answered; the air was utterly silent.
“They really are… cowardly and greedy, aren’t they?”
Ze Kai’s gaze instantly turned cold.
The next moment, his figure shot out, and in a blink, he appeared in front of a man hiding around the corner.
“Shu…”
Before the man could finish his word, a black light flashed, and his head separated from his body, blood splattering everywhere.
“Everyone, attack together! This guy is a Sixth-Tier powerhouse; a million is enough for us to split!”
Someone shouted, and the next moment, countless figures darted out from all directions.
“Shura, hand over the storage crystal!” a red-haired man roared.
Ze Kai recognized him: a Fourth-Tier Fire Mage from the underground arena.
He didn’t pay much attention, instead scanning the crowd present.
A strong sense of malice washed over him.
“It seems you all have a death wish…”
Ze Kai crouched slightly, holding the hilt of his sword with both hands in front of his head, adopting a battle stance.
“Attack!” someone shouted.
The next moment, countless attacks, fireballs, water jets, earth chunks, iron shards, rained down on Ze Kai. “Blood Fiend Gale!”
Ze Kai charged forward, spinning his body. The long blade, imbued with Busoshoku Haki, whipped up a gale, deflecting all magical attacks.
“Warriors, block in front!”
Seeing Ze Kai easily block all attacks, someone immediately commanded.
The next moment, several burly warriors blocked Ze Kai’s path.
“Shura, hand over…”
Before a warrior wielding a large hammer could finish, a black light had already sliced across his neck.
Ze Kai didn't stop immediately. He dodged another Fourth-Tier warrior’s slash and, with a backhand, stabbed his sword into his heart.
Every strike was fatal, without the slightest hesitation.
Behind the warriors, the mages all summoned magic circles, and attacks of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth elements poured towards Ze Kai.
However, under the perception of Observation Haki, Ze Kai always skillfully avoided the magical attacks.
“Damn it! Why can’t we hit him?!”
“He’s like an eel! Impossible to catch!”
The scene grew increasingly chaotic. Ze Kai moved deftly through the narrow alley, constantly harvesting lives, like a grim reaper from hell.
As more and more people fell, fear began to set in.
“I don’t want the gold coins anymore; Shura is a complete monster!”
“Get out of the way; don’t block me!”
“I’ll go first… What’s happening? My head feels so dizzy.”
A bizarre scene unfolded: those trying to escape suddenly felt dizzy and their consciousness blurred.
At this moment, Shuang Ya, You Ying, and Bai Ling also joined the battle.
The three Beastgirls were all Third-Tier warriors. While they couldn't handle Fourth-Tier powerhouses, dealing with these poisoned Third-Tier and lower warriors and mages was quite easy for them.
Ten minutes later.
The world fell silent. The dark alley was stained blood-red, and Moonlight reflected on the blood, like a blood moon.
Clatter! Clatter!
Accompanied by soft footsteps, a voluptuous woman in a purple dress appeared at the alley entrance.
Seeing this, Shuang Ya and You Ying immediately bared their sharp teeth.
After sniffing, Shuang Ya retracted her claws and teeth.
“It’s the Young Master’s scent.”
You Ying asked with a puzzled expression, “What?”
Shuang Ya said, “This woman has the Young Master’s scent on her.”
Roland looked at Shuang Ya and smiled, “As expected of a wolf beast-human, your nose is truly sharp.”
At this moment, Ze Kai also walked over.
“Young Master.” Roland greeted.
“Mm.”
Ze Kai had known Roland was coming. The reason those people felt dizzy was precisely because of Roland.
As a Perfume Fruit ability user, Roland could emit various perfume scents with special effects.
“Let’s go; someone should be coming soon,” Ze Kai said.
The group no longer lingered and left the alley under Roland’s guidance.
Ten minutes later.
Arthur arrived at the alley with a group of knights.
Looking at the bloody scene before him, Arthur frowned. “Did he leave?”
“Lord Arthur, the scent of blood suddenly disappeared after leaving the alley!”
A knight reported to Arthur, leading a canine magical beast, a Misty Hound.
“Even the Misty Hound can’t find him. It seems someone was there to meet him.”
Misty Hounds are magical beasts that live in the Misty Forest; they have a keen sense of smell and are a type of tameable magical beast.
Arthur wasn't overly angry. To be honest, he also didn’t want to meet Shura.
He always felt he wasn’t Shura’s opponent… Tulip Dream Workshop.
Looking around at the various perfumes displayed, Bai Ling said, “I didn’t expect Miss Tulip to also be one of the Young Master’s people.”
Roland responded with a gentle smile, “You’re mistaken. It should be the Young Master’s woman.”
Bai Ling’s cheeks flushed slightly. Roland’s boldness caught her off guard; she had said “also.”
Ze Kai introduced the group to each other. Although they were all subordinates he had acquired over the years, they didn’t know each other.
After the introductions, Ze Kai planned to take a bath, as he had gotten quite a bit of blood on him.
“Young Master, do you need me to scrub your back?” Roland asked with a playful smile.
Ze Kai nodded, “Let’s go together.”
There was nothing to be concerned about. He was going to establish a large family in the future, so how could he refuse?
Before, he was too young, but now he was eighteen, old enough.
Yes, old enough.
The conversation between the two instantly turned the three Beastgirls into steam engines. This, this… this, humans are indeed bold creatures!
One hour later.
Ze Kai and Roland emerged from their bath. He had sweated a lot today, and with Roland’s help, he had washed very thoroughly… While they were bathing, the perfume shop employees had already prepared food.
When Ze Kai came out, he saw Shuang Ya and You Ying drooling over the food on the table.
“Young Master!”
Looking at the handsome man who suddenly appeared, Bai Ling couldn't help but exclaim. It was the first time the Young Master had removed his mask in front of them.
The two greedy Beastgirls also looked at Ze Kai, equally shocked.
“Young Master, you’re so young!” Shuang Ya exclaimed.
“Mm-hmm!” You Ying nodded frantically in agreement.
Ze Kai smiled, sat down, and asked, “Does it not meet your expectations?”
The three shook their heads in unison. Bai Ling smiled and said, “I just didn’t expect the Young Master to be so tender; he seems even younger than me.”
Hearing Bai Ling’s description, Ze Kai’s eyelid twitched. He hadn't expected to be described as “tender.”
It seemed that removing his mask had brought them all a little closer; even Bai Ling dared to tease him now.
