The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 61 — Red-Haired Boys

Shen Wenhuan sighed, however Lian Huanran was still a child. Lian Huanran looked frightened and various questions filled his mind,

‘Can human meat be cooked like this? Doesn't this mean they don't respect the dead?’

The atmosphere became silent for a moment, no one spoke and slowly Lian Huanran calmed herself down.

With gritted teeth, Lian Huanran commented to vent her anger with a voice that sounded whispering, “How could anyone be so cruel!”

But the other three people in the room could still hear him.

Shen Wenhuan felt a little reluctant in his heart but he knew that in order for Lian Huanran to survive, he had to be strong, which certainly would not be easy.

‘Knowing that this world is more cruel than he thought was only the first step.’ Thought Shen Wenhuan was trying to convince himself.

Lian Huanran learned that Shen Wenhuan, Lian Haocun and Chao Bence were waiting for him to calm down first before starting the discussion so he said, “I've calmed down.”

Chao Bence did not mince words or say words of comfort and immediately expressed his opinion, “Servants earlier could be ‘doll’ someone filled soul or only ‘doll’ who got an order from the Master. Then for this food, it could be those from the corpses of the missing people on Nigra Street. This method is very different from the previous case.”

Lian Haocun added to his assessment, “The words of the person in black cannot be trusted entirely. His memory could be confused, however. So it could be that these foods also consist of the bodies of previous cases and most likely both.”

Chao Bence nodded, as did Lian Huanran who was listening.

Shen Wenhuan added, “It could be explained why there was no trace of the corpse from the first case but the case is still not definitely related to the first case.”

Chao Bence nodded again. Lian Huanran said, “If these two cases are different, the actual perpetrators can also be different. The previous case, the real leader did not appear at all, but in this case the waiter said that there was a VIP guest in room five who was most likely the owner or borrower of this dimension. In other words, in this case the culprit directly ‘appeared’ indirectly.”

Shen Wenhuan praised Lian Huanran, “Huanran meticulous person. That's good.”

Lian Huanran looked even more cheerful due to her Master's words and the smile expanding on her face. Lian Huanran's cheer unknowingly affected the originally gloomy atmosphere. So the atmosphere becomes more cheerful.

“Previous case can, we put it aside first. Now we have to investigate the VIP guest in room five.” Shen Wenhuan said with a rather heavy tone.

Shen Wenhuan said in his usual tone, “This investigation is very likely dangerous and your lives are at risk of being lost. So better, Master alone went to investigate.”

Lian Huanran immediately voiced his disapproval, “Can't! Then won't Master be in danger!? At least bring Chao Bence, Master.”.

Shen Wenhuan tolerated Lian Huanran's irreverent behavior and shook his head, “Can't. If Master brought Chao Bence, you wouldn't be safe.”

Lian Haocun cut in a cold tone, “Then we join.”

Shen Wenhuan shook his head disapprovingly, he looked resolute and did not want to be denied, “Can't, it's too dangerous. Someone equivalent to the Demigod Stage could easily kill you, Haocun, Huanran.”

Lian Huanran had just been willing to deny Shen Wenhuan's words but suddenly an additional person appeared in the room. He stood behind Shen Wenhuan's back and was quite close to Shen Wenhuan.

His arrival could be described as very domineering and haughty. The man was dressed pretty well and looked charming.

She has blood-red eyes with long hair the same color as her eyes. She looked quite similar to Tang Yelu but the aura around her was very different from Tang Yelu's.

Those blood-red eyes were filled with arrogance, ridicule, humiliation and the sight of looking at others inferior to him. The man leaned close to the wooden cabinet.

Chao Bence's attention was not focused on appearance or how the person came secretly. He noticed the symbol on the forehead of the red-haired man. The symbol is a sheep's head with two horns that look male and sturdy like the Aries Zodiac symbol.

The scream sounded a bit panicked. Chao Bence immediately made protectors around Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran who were quite close to him.

I do not know when in the hands of the red-haired man there is a whip. The whip had a luxurious gold-plated handle and was elegant and charming deep black.

Shen Wenhuan reacted quickly to Chao Bence's shout and intended to enter the protective territory created by Chao Bence, who was about to leave, yet a pitch-black whip bound and pulled him to the side of the opponent so quickly, that even Shen Wenhuan could not react at all.

Chao Bence reacted very quickly and chased after the black whip that bound Shen Wenhuan, but he was late and Shen Wenhuan was immediately on the side of the long red-haired male. The red-haired man looked satisfied.

Upon learning that the situation did not allow Chao Bence to take back Shen Wenhuan, Chao Bence immediately jumped back to the back where Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran were.

After pulling Shen Wenhuan to his side and tying Shen Wenhuan tighter with his whip that could somehow move on its own, the red-haired male introduced himself, “Baran Yangzuo, Demon General of Aries. Nice to meet you guys~~~.”

Lian Haocun was greatly shocked in his heart to hear the words of Demon General Baran even though he had expected it.

‘Devil General!?’ Inner Lian Haocun and her gaze had a fleeting touch of despair.

While Lian Huanran was feeling confused and somewhat dazed, he did not understand how the situation could develop so badly that it was this bad. Panic grew in Lian Huanran's heart uncontrollably. Lian Huanran was trying to get out of protective gear but she couldn't get out at all.

While for the first time Lian Haocun's expressionless face had another expression, that of anxiety and anxiety.

Chao Bence looked not surprised by the identity of Demon General Baran, but Chao Bence frowned so that a deep frown formed.

After strengthening the protectors around Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran so that they can withstand dozens of attacks by Demon General Baran. Chao Bence ignored Lian Huanran's scream from the inside that was not heard all the way to the outside, but because it was Chao Bence who made the protector he could hear.

Then Chao Bence darted to where the floating Shen Wenhuan was.

The Demon General made his black whip wrapped around Shen Wenhuan's body stronger and tighter so that Shen Wenhuan felt his body would crumble and crumble. Shen Wenhuan did not shout out from the pain, but the sweat pouring from his body was clearly visible.

Seeing that, Chao Bence did not stop and instead increased his speed to approach Shen Wenhuan. A mocking and dismissive smile appeared on the face of Demon General Baran. He moved Shen Wenhuan forward as a shield to receive Chao Bence's attack.

Chao Bence stopped in time and the Demon General laughed mockingly looking at that. Demon General Baran was really acting like he was watching a show.

Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran who were unable to get out of the protective guard felt panic in their hearts. Of course they knew who the famous Demon General was.

Demon General Baran was on par with Chao Bence, but the Demon General had the advantage of Shen Wenhuan as a hostage so Chao Bence could not attack recklessly.

And again even though the Demon General had a cultivation level equivalent to Chao Bence, not necessarily Chao Bence would win if he were to go one-on-one with Demon General Baran.

Chao Bence let out words of ridicule in his heart. Every time Chao Bence moved, Shen Wenhuan who was tightly bound by the whip would move just as quickly to block Chao Bence's attack so Chao Bence would have to stop attacking. The faster Chao Bence moved, then the whip would move just as fast.

Adrift at incredible speed, Shen Wenhuan was still trying to break away from the whip. But Shen Wenhuan's efforts did not bear fruit at all that satisfied even the whip was binding him tighter.

Chao Bence could not bring out his techniques or elements, as it could be fatal to Shen Wenhuan's life. Because Shen Wenhuan knew that he would not be able to escape from the whip wrapped around him, he tried to get the words out to Chao Bence but he could not do so because the whip that bound him moved so fast.

Demon General Baran looked a little bored after doing so for a few minutes, he even yawned. Chao Bence who saw it grew furious and tried to increase the speed again, but unfortunately it was useless at all.

Demon General Baran did not even move a single moment from where he suddenly appeared not even taking out his techniques or elements. Only use whips as weapons.

Suddenly Demon General Baran let out a mocking laugh that sounded throughout the room.
