After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

Chapter 187: Chapter 55: Power Shuffle!

Tonight, Hezlosa was unusually bright... From the nameless alley came a heat so intense it could make someone faint, but no one intended to check it out. Even if someone who was unaware came by, they would be persuaded not to get involved.

After all, everyone saw when Yila and those few people entered the alley, and that shout of "First Wing Pillar·Crimson Dragon·Wing Spread" was enough for people outside the alley to hear.

Moreover, Yila evidently controlled his output, as there were no signs of the surrounding walls being melted... Since Yila was showing such courtesy, it would be unreasonable for the people of Hezlosa not to reciprocate.

What? You’re saying Hezlosa shouldn’t allow murder?

Go ahead and tell Yila that. If you can stop Yila, you’ll become a legend yourself.

"..."

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a figure slowly emerged from the alley. Because the firelight behind them was too intense, the person’s face was shrouded in darkness.

But there was no need to doubt his identity... the quickly retracting Crimson Wings and the sparking embers scattered in the air were enough to confirm his identity for anyone.

"He’s out. Yila seems to be carrying something," a passerby whispered.

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Yila threw the head he was holding onto the ground. It was the leader of those men... The crowd stepped back a few paces, unsure of his intentions.

"You all..."

Yila started to ask something, but before he could speak...

"Black Chains Pirate Group."

A female voice interrupted his question. As Yila looked over, the crowd parted, revealing a Gorgon with her arms crossed. She spoke casually, "The people you killed were from the Black Chains Pirate Group."

Having received the answer, Yila scrutinized the Gorgon. She had the typical pirate look... although he had recently wiped out all the Gorgons in the Demon Control Area.

But towards this Gorgon before him, Yila bore no ill will.

"Black Chains..." Yila lifted his head lightly, repeating the name. He turned his gaze to the others who had nothing to do with the Gorgon and asked, "Is what she said true?"

The other pirates examined the head on the ground before nodding and responding, "Yeah, that looks like the helmsman and other sailors from the Black Chains Pirate Group. I recognize them."

"Thanks."

Yila responded, giving the head a light kick back into the alley to reunite it with its owner... It would be reduced to ashes shortly anyway.

"The Black Chains Pirate Group... Where are they?"

Yila asked.

"On the ship?" the other pirates responded.

"I mean... where is the ship?"

For Yila’s question, a Lusa soldier in a military uniform thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Yila... it should be not far from your ship. The flag is a black chain wrapped around a skull, easily recognizable."

The Lusa soldier searched his person, then found a parchment which he tossed to Yila, who had already spread his wings, saying, "This is their wanted poster with pictures on it! Lord Yila... you probably don’t need the bounty, do you?"

At this moment, Yila had already taken off, casting a massive scarlet shadow under the moonlight...

Yila’s voice came from afar—

"Bounty? You can have it. If you manage to claim it, give twenty percent to that Gorgon."

"..."

"Huff... Hahaha! Hahahahahaha!!!!" The Lusa soldier couldn’t help but laugh. He was sure to get the bounty since it was promised by Yila... No one would dare cheat him out of it. He laughed wildly, nearly in tears.

"Hahahahaha! That’s a huge amount of money!!!"

The laughing soldier bent over, tears streaming down his face. He knelt towards the distant sky, sobbing, "My wife and child... They’re saved."

The Gorgon captain watched the lonely soldier and asked softly, "What happened to your family? Are they sick or badly injured?"

With her question, the Lusa soldier lifted his head and, after briefly composing himself, hoarsely replied, "They are seriously ill, and the alchemist said only very expensive potions can cure them... Your share of the money, I’ll give it to you after I claim the bounty."

"..."

The Gorgon captain assessed him, looking into his bloodshot eyes to verify the sincerity. She said, "You don’t need to give me my share. Keep it for yourself. Yila won’t mind, I assure you... I hope your family recovers soon."

"...Thank you. If you ever commit a crime, I promise I won’t arrest you."

The soldier didn’t know how else to express his gratitude...

Perhaps, this was just a small person’s way of showing thanks. He couldn’t promise much, knowing he couldn’t keep it... Besides, he indeed needed the money for his family’s recovery.

So the Gorgon captain said nothing more and turned to leave.

"..."

"Captain~ that’s a lot of money..."

To the man walking beside her who said this, the Gorgon snorted lightly and replied, "That’s why you’re a sailor and I’m the captain... fool! Don’t just focus on a bit of money! Thank Yila properly!"

The man was momentarily confused, letting out an "Ah?" of puzzlement. He hesitated but continued to follow, asking, "But earlier, when you kindly mentioned the identity of those people, didn’t Yila distrust you? What if the Black Chains seek revenge?"

The Gorgon looked at him as if he were an idiot... Did he think she would casually name a pirate group and Yila would then really go annihilate them?

"Black Chains Pirate Group? Will they even exist tomorrow?"

The Gorgon quickened her pace as she saw her companion start to jog to keep up. Commanding, she said, "Move quickly! Capture all industries controlled by Black Chains with the fastest speed!"

Originally, Hezlosa was already a cake worth competing for, but usually... the cake had been divided up long ago. Anyone wanting a piece needed to fight for it, needing intense collisions.

But soon, things would change...

"Faster! The rigid interests of Hezlosa! From tonight onward..."

"It’s time to reshuffle!"
