The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 85 The Hatred
The second prince felt a premonition as he sensed the powerful fluctuations of true essence coming from Theia. He felt that the difference between them was so great that he could not help but swear in his heart.
‘Fuck! To think that this woman is so strong! Did he sense the demonic presence of my subordinates? That stupid fool actually took out his Shape-Changing Jade Necklace! What could be the reason that made him use his true form? By the way, I saw Young Miss Hestia come out of the store..Maybe.’ Prince Arslan's eyes narrowed as his mind reached that point. He glanced at Jiu Shen and thought coldly in his heart. ‘Wine Master Jiu, do you already know my identity?’
Jiu Shen sensed the second prince's gaze but he ignored it completely. Even if the latter was a demon prince, Jiu Shen did not care about him. They are like ants seeking material and emotional satisfaction to satisfy their ego. In his past life, aside from the three heavenly emperors, no one dared to glance at him …
“Come go!” The second prince stood up from his seat and issued orders to his subordinates.
The soldiers bowed to Prince Arslan and followed behind him obediently.
The latter walked towards Jiu Shen and gave him a salute as a sign of respect. “Wine Master Jiu, I really like your amazing wine and I will definitely come visit here occasionally. I hope you won't turn me down in.” Prince Arslan said with a face full of smiles.
Jiu Shen glanced at the second prince and calmly nodded his head at him.
Seeing Jiu Shen's indifference, the second prince's smile twitched and he could not help but laugh coldly in his heart. ‘Jiu Shen, Jiu Shen, Jiu Shen. I'll give victory to you this time, but once my troops arrive at this place, I'll eliminate the arrogance in you!’
Prince Arslan looked at Jiu Shen one last time before he turned around and walked away with his subordinates following behind him.
Jiu Shen glanced at his figure with a deep gaze and said telepathically. “I will not involve myself in the affairs of you demons, but if you dare to mess around in my shop, then I cannot promise the same.”
Prince Arslan's eyes flickered and he paused for a moment before continuing walking out of the shop with a doubtful smile on his face. ‘Just wait, Jiu Shen. Today you won against me, but next time, it's your turn to lose.’
“Master, that person is useless.” Theia muttered coldly as she glared at the receding figure of the second prince.
“No problem. What can ants do to us?” Jiu Shen replied in a cold and detached voice before she went to her room upstairs.
Jiu Shen stopped his steps for a moment and said without looking back. “As soon as Hestia arrives, take her to my room immediately.”
Theia lowered her head and replied in a respectful voice. “Ya sir.”
An hour later.
In a remote location somewhere in Beltran City.
A middle-aged man with average facial features and wearing the standard military armor of an imperial guard was seen walking with shaky steps while holding his chest. Although he did not have any visible injuries on his body, he looked extremely agonized. His expression crinkled so that it almost looked inhumane.
“I've changed my appearance using the Shape-Changing Jade Necklace. That old farts Duanmu shouldn't be able to recognize me now! Goddamnit! The woman's last attack was so cruel that it left a deep wound on my body! But even so , I was lucky to be able to escape from that place.” The man said while recalling the sword technique that Hestia used. He could not help but shiver when he thought about it. Fortunately, he was able to activate his Frenzied Slaughter Body perfectly in time. If he was unable to, he did not dare to think about what might happen to him.
“Balrog.... What happened and why are you in this state?” A familiar voice suddenly echoed behind him, surprising the middle-aged man.
He turned around and when he saw the second prince's face, the middle-aged man immediately knelt respectfully, ignoring the pain he felt. “Your Majesty, everything should go smoothly and I will also end the life of that old farts Duanmu. But then, an unexpected guest interfered!”
Prince Arslan's eyes narrowed upon hearing those words. “Is that Miss Hestia Young?” He asked in a cold voice. By the time Hestia left the store, she already felt suspicious.
It was hard to believe that this man was a good and noble second prince whom all citizens adored and admired. Only, he did not have the gentleman facade as usual.
Balrog nodded with an angry expression. “Indeed, it's that woman! I didn't think he was that strong! I have no choice but to use my Slaughter Body to block the attack from him! But even with that, I still received heavy internal injuries!”
Prince Arslan's expression became even colder after that. “So that means the old fart has seen your true appearance! What about the fourth prince and the fifth princess?”
Balrog was nervous when he felt the second prince's mood deteriorating, so he immediately replied cautiously. “I searched for my subordinates, but it seems that the *****little Hestia has helped them escape before!”
“So, lady *****that's again, huh?! Get up and recover your wounds. For now, let's hide and avoid clashes with the people from that store. It is not yet time for us to show ourselves and we must not destroy the plans of those people. Demon King! Leave it for now. There will come a time when we will take revenge!” Prince Arslan muttered in an ice-cold voice as he walked away.
Balrog stood up and followed behind him with a dark gaze as he recalled the figure of Hestia. ‘Little whore, your days are counted!’
