Chapter 57 - Teleportation Magic Scroll (1/2)
Listening to the cold voice of the 4th imperial prince reverberated through the darkness, they were all shocked because this voice was not strange to them.
They quickly looked at each other and had a conclusion in mind. This voice belonged to the 4th imperial prince. The very person that they sent to kill a few hours ago.
Within the room,
Silence.....utter silence.
They all fell into a near comatose silence as if their switch got turned off. The deadly silence hung in the air like the suspended moment before a falling glass shattered on the ground.
Only this time, it wasn't the falling glass that was going to shatter but their livelihoods as the demon king had paid them a visit.
There was an absolute stillness within the room, and the silence was like a big hole, waiting to be filled with any sounds or noises.
At this moment they were all thinking about what the 4th imperial prince had said during the banquet.
It was as though each of these words and threats had started to seep into their every pore and bones, like a poison slowly paralyzing them and preventing them from either speech or movement.
As for the 2nd prince, Hegel, once he started picking up his thought and realized the gravity of the matter, fear engulfed his heart and overwhelmed his body. He could clearly feel the sweat-drenched his skin, the throbbing of his eyes as well as the thumping sound of his heart against his chest.
He could clearly hear his rapid breathing. Even his breath seemed to die as soon as it left his mouth.
He looked at the door hesitantly, waiting for the owner of that voice to make his entrance.
They were all having a secret meeting and waiting for the good news which was the death of the 4th imperial prince. This meeting was taken place in the 2nd prince's palace, the most secure palace within the capital except for the Royal Palace.
The 2nd prince had set a rigorous defense line around the palace. Lots of royal guards as well some of the 2nd prince's own troops were guarding this place. It wouldn't be too exaggerated to say that even an ant couldn't enter this palace and even flies couldn't get near it. However, the 4th imperial prince had managed to sneak in without causing any ruckus or without alerting them.
If he didn't say those words just now, nobody would notice that he was here, in the palace.
The biggest problem was that the 4th prince seemed to find out about them as well as the ambush.
” Who is it?.” asked the 2nd prince, even though he clearly knew who he was, he played dumb and pretended he didn't know.
” The person that will take your life.”
The door of the room suddenly exploded. A young man in black stood at the door like a spear. His eyes were cold.
He looked at them and blandly said.” I have told you before, I will kill whoever dares to mess with the interest of the Djage empire, including his family. Yet, you tried to kill me. Don't you know killing me was on the top list of messing with the interest of the Djage Empire.”
Listening to Shad, Hegel's eyes were filled with anger and hatred as he was staring at him. He held his hand up to stop his people from taking and reckless moves, not that they would be able to as their legs were currently shaking and unable to move.
Hegel was a wise young man. He always got to know his enemy before any fights. However, it seemed that this enemy had fed them with false information and data.
While the others might think that they should kill the 4th prince here, Hegel had thought much deeper than them. He was only thinking about getting the hell out this place because he knew they were done for.
First of all, if the 4h imperial prince dared to come here alone and showed up in front of them all, he must have the confidence that he could kill them all by himself. Not only that, he might even have the whole palace surrounded because he had the power to use the royal guards as he pleased as his old man had given him the green light.
Furthermore, he knew that the 4th imperial prince was really strong due to the report he had just received.
