Wu Heng replied, “I've hunted for a few years, got the strength too.”
“Psh!” the captain sneered, “The dead all had strength.”
At this moment, the others who were quickly searching the room said, “Captain, there's nothing here.”
The captain nodded, signaling to leave while saying to Wu Heng, “Don't wander off.”
“Got it.” Wu Heng nodded.
The Guard Team all left.
The hotel owner came in, apology on his face, “Sorry, guest, there are inspections one or two times every day.”
“It's fine.”
The hotel owner smiled, helped him close the door, and continued to chase after the Guard Team to leave.
“Uncle, they've left, gone to the next tavern,” Xiao Xiao flew back in.
“Hmm, the inspections here are really strict,” Wu Heng said as he hung the curtains and took off his mask.
“Uncle, will they come back?” Xiao Xiao asked.
“They're just checking the tavern for newcomers, once will suffice,” Wu Heng answered.
Xiao Xiao floated over, “Oh, then do I still need to keep watch outside?”
“No need, just alert me immediately if there's danger.”
“Okay, Uncle, give me the tablet, I want to watch cartoons tonight,” Xiao Xiao said.
Wu Heng handed the tablet to Xiao Xiao, used the Mansion Skill to freshen up inside, then came out to lie down on the bed.
Staring at the ceiling, he pondered the plan at hand.
Last night someone attacked the Prince Mansion, putting the entire city on high alert, which also hindered his operations.
The assassin should be the Crown Prince's man.
“Why did they have to proclaim it was someone from Lundham City?”
“Dumping the blame on us, huh!”
He took a deep breath, arms cushioning his head.
The next step in the plan was to find the Second Prince's location.
It's not like he could open the boundary door and wage war with the entire city!
After all, his original plan was to kill the Second Prince silently – not relying on Skeletons to slaughter the city.
Then the guild and The Holy Court would also come looking for trouble.
If Ghosts couldn't find the other party, he could question two corpses.
Or if there were items used by the Second Prince, use the Tracing Locket to find his location.
Thinking to himself, he checked on Xiao Xiao watching videos.
Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Early morning.
Wu Heng finished freshening up inside using the Mansion Skill.
Three Ghosts were chatting by the round table about last night's events.
Seeing Wu Heng emerge, Glenda passed him a sheet of paper, saying, “This is the map I've drawn of the city from a bird's-eye view, with several suspect locations marked.”
Wu Heng picked it up for a look, the outline of a city with several locations circled.
“Let's go, first go eat, then stroll around according to the map,” Wu Heng said as he walked out the door.
He went downstairs and ordered breakfast.
The bartender came over and asked, “Guest, do you need to keep your room?”
Wu Heng paid for another day's lodging, “Keep it.”
“Alright, guest,” the bartender took the money, cheerfully seeing him to the door.
Wu Heng walked straight out, blending into the crowd on the street, heading towards the locations marked on the map.
Along the way, several areas were guarded by soldiers.
Winding his way through, he came to a bustling district.
The noisy market had just dispersed, with remnants of fruit peels and animal dung on the cobblestone road, and the air carried a mixed odor.
Wu Heng walked down the road, his mind still plotting the next steps.
He needed a breakthrough to gather more information about this city.
Walking forward, he gradually deviated from the main road and slipped into a dim alley.
He stopped and turned back to wait.
Soon, several figures followed him in, blocking one side of the alley entrance.
The leader, a man in his thirties with a face full of horizontal flesh and a scar like a centipede lying across his cheek.
The four people behind him carried weapons at their belts, their eyes twinkling with scorn.
“Can you feel us following you, professional?” Scar jeered, revealing yellow teeth as he looked him up and down.
Wu Heng calmly asked, “Gentlemen, following me around in broad daylight, should I call the Guard Team?”
Scar chuckled, and one of his men said in a weird voice, “You yell and see if the Guard Team will come, or just come to collect your body.”
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, “I haven't offended you, have I?”
Another man said, “This is our gang's turf, you're unlucky, kid. Two silver coins, and we'll go drink. Go do whatever you have to do.”
What a mess this city is.
Guard Teams conducting strict searches on the main streets, while gangs randomly extort 'lucky' passersby in the back alleys.
“The Prince recruits the army, your gang is so capable, why not share the Prince's worries?” Wu Heng asked.
What ancient Earth was like, Wu Heng wasn't sure.
But in this world, when there's trouble in the city, gangs are usually conscripted into the army.
“You sure have a wide scope of concern, go! See how much money he has, take it all, strip him and throw him in the street,” Scar ordered.
His flunkies, grinning wickedly, approached with clubs.
“Kid, remember this for the future.”
“Break his limbs, he'll never forget for a lifetime.”
“Hmph~! Just kill him then.”
The men swung their clubs down as they spoke.
Wu Heng caught a club single-handedly, grabbing it as they swung at him, much to their disbelief.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Following the loud thuds, they all collapsed.
Scar's face changed drastically from a distance, “You can go now, we Chi Feng Gang… we respect the strong.”
