Eps. 211 — Abduction Cases
From Yue Lian, Jian Chen came to know in more detail that he was actually in the Land Dragon Province, one of the provinces that had the widest forest in all the provinces.
Yue Lian was not from this city, she was just a traveler who was accidentally in the city of Daguo.
To Jian Chen who heard it did not look surprised because he knew that Yue Lian was from the Earth Dragon Province, what surprised him was her presence here.
As Jian Chen remembered Yue Lian was an orphan, raised by her grandmother and when her grandmother died, she began to wander into various regions.
Jian Chen did not expect that before meeting him Yue Lian had been in another province.
One more different thing was about the strength of Yue Lian who had reached the Life Realm, whereas before when the two met her lover it was still at the peak of the Soul Realm.
Indeed, Jian Chen realized there were various things that were not in accordance with the destiny in his first life but he should not be able to change the destiny so far. Jian Chen's only thought was the Miou clan Association.
Jian Chen sighed, after knowing where he might be able to go home now but there was something holding him back that was Yue Lian.
Jian Chen was worried that there would be harm to the girl in the Land Dragon Province if left alone, he said, meanwhile Jian Chen remembered that there was an organization standing in this province whose arrival had been disastrous for many people even up to the empire.
"The Blood Sword Organization, one of the organizations whose strength almost equaled the Organization of 12 Shio hunters..." Jian Chen muttered softly when recalling the name of that dangerous organization.
The Blood Sword Organization was established in the Land Dragon Province, The strength of their organization lies in its many outstanding followers.
With all his strength, the Blood Sword Organization could take control of a large city if they wanted to. The reason they had hitherto not done so was because of the existence of the Dragon Empire and there was no compelling reason to attack a city.
That reason was what made Jian Chen hesitate to leave.
"You don't seem to be from this town, do you?" Yue Lian asked.
Jian Chen nodded, saying that he was in a town far away from here, the reason he had come to buy some supplies as a hunter.
"You better not go to the forest first, there are cases of mass kidnappings around this area, men or women, children and elderly people are also kidnapped."
Jian Chen frowned. "Kidnap an old man, what good are they to kidnap?"
Yue Lian shrugged her shoulders, "I heard from the rumors circulating, kidnappers are not ordinary robbers, I'm sure they come from an evil organization. I heard this after a few weeks of living here."
According to the story of Yue Lian, the government like turning a blind eye about this case even though the kidnapping was rampant.
Yue Lian thought that the robber who was on her opponent yesterday was the mastermind of that many kidnappings but it seemed like her guess was wrong. Robbers and kidnappers are different.
Now that Jian Chen understood more about why Daguo City felt more deserted, people tended to be reluctant to leave their homes to hear the many cases of kidnapping, especially when it is dark they will tell the children to go home early.
'Is this all because of the Blood Sword Organization?' Jian Chen pondered for a moment as the two continued to step up.
Yue Lian was now taking Jian Chen to a restaurant, the reason he invited the young man was because he realized Jian Chen was a newcomer like him. The girl sympathized to accompany Jian Chen in order for the young man to get to know the city of Daguo better.
Yue Lian originally wanted to invite Jian Chen to sit on the first floor but because he had just earned a decent income so she invited Jian Chen to go to the third floor.
The third floor has a more expensive price but the cuisine is also better than the second or first floor. On the third floor alone there was no one, showing how lonely this city was.
Jian Chen ordered an order of sea meat while Yue Lian only ordered vegetables.
"Aren't you supposed to take off your mask, we're gonna be eating soon?" Yue Lian asked.
Jian Chen smiled faintly, after pondering for some time he finally decided to open it.
Initially Yue Lian thought Jian Chen was a person who was not confident with his face yet when looking at the face behind the young man's mask directly, the girl was a little stunned to see Jian Chen's good looks let alone his golden eyes that looked glowing for a few seconds and it looked beautiful.
"You're so young even younger than me..." Yue Lian tried to keep her expression calm after seeing Jian Chen's face.
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, not choosing to discuss it any further.
As the two waited for the food to come, there were some people who went up to the third floor of the restaurant. Jian Chen frowned when he knew that the person was the swordsman in the adventurer guild earlier.
The few people then sat at one of the tables, around there were five people at the table and all of them stared at Jian Chen's desk sharply.
Not just Jian Chen alone, even Yue Lian felt that something was amiss regarding the group of men.
"You'd better stay close to me, it's not as simple as you see it..." Yue Lian whispered softly.
"Didn't they come from an adventurer guild like you?"
"Actually it's not that simple, they are adventurers who just came two weeks ago. Although it was still new but their group was already disinclined by the other adventurers."
Yue Lian said that their group numbered the most as well as the strongest in the adventurer guild, the reason was simple because one of their group had reached the Earth Realm.
The adventurer guild did not limit the number of teams so that the group that Yue Lian pointed at reached twenty people.
"Surprisingly since their existence there have been many kidnappings in this city, not that I was bad at first but that's the fact."
Jian Chen then looked at the table of the group of men, four of them had strength in the Soul Realm while the other one was in the Life Realm.
The group of five people continued to pay attention to Jian Chen's desk before one of them finally walked towards his desk.
Yue Lian stopped talking after the person she was talking about was already standing near her desk, the man looked at Yue Lian with a cold gaze.
"Beautiful girl you seem to be talking about us, good then, there's no need to mince words anymore so now hand over the money you guys earned in the adventurer guild earlier?" The man stretched out his hand, asking for the golden pouch that Yue Lian had brought including Jian Chen as well.
Yue Lian's forehead shriveled at the man's helping hand before turning her head towards his face, Yue Lian's gaze instantly turned cold. "Are you trying to poke us?"
