The actual situation was more serious than imagined. Not to mention going to the market to find someone, it has become a difficult task to go home:
Along the way, there are demons wearing black cloaks everywhere. These demons are said to only appear in the luxury area and are rarely seen in daily life, so why did they come out in full force today?
The road to the market has long been sealed, and all the demons have been restricted from moving around. At this time, Ji Huan, who is still walking on the street, looks very conspicuous. It’s not that he has never thought of making a phone call, but now all the mobile phones have no signal. It seems that this martial law is really serious this time, and even communications are controlled.
Strangely enough, when all the demons were restricted from moving around, Ji Huan was not hindered too much along the way.
However, Ji Huan had no time to consider this matter at this time. His mind was all on Grandpa and Hei Dan. He rushed all the way to where Grandpa and the others were supposed to set up their stall today.
When he got there, he saw all the neighbouring stall owners, except for Grandpa and the others, and their cart was also missing.
“They were taken away by a demon in a black cloak who seemed to have a high status.” Finally, a stall owner on the left told Ji Huan what had just happened.
“Thank you, thank you.” Ji Huan clenched his palms into fists and was stunned for a moment. After thanking the demon for telling him the situation, Ji Huan found the nearest group of black cloaks that could be found nearby.
However, the result of the inquiry wasn’t very fruitful: although the black-cloaked demons were unexpectedly polite to him, he did not get any information from them.
With no other solution, he decided to go home first: What if grandpa and the others already went home early? That way, wouldn’t they worry about him?
After calming down his mood, Ji Huan immediately strode towards the Green Shade Area.
There were also black cloaks on the road leading to the Green Shade Area, but compared with what he saw before, the number here was much smaller.
Unlike the black cloaks outside, who arrest people everywhere and will beat and curse loudly when the other party shows even a bit of resistance, these black cloaks are very quiet. Here, they have formed a team of demons, appearing at every 100 metres.
However, Ji Huan only accepted one interrogation. After showing his house key, he got a black card. After that, he only needed to show this black card whenever he encountered other black-cloaked demons.
Previously, Ji Huan had never felt that his journey home was so long. He showed the black card again and again. When he turned a corner and saw the small road leading to his home, he also saw a black luxury car parked there.
Ji Huan’s steps didn’t stop. As he passed the car, he ran towards the door of his home. When he finally saw the carved door of his home, he also saw the black-cloaked demon standing at the door, along with Grandpa holding Hei Dan. Naji was also standing beside grandpa.
Although he still didn’t know what the black-cloaked demon was here for, the moment he saw that Grandpa and Hei Dan were fine, Ji Huan’s heart immediately calmed down.
Next, Ji Huan became the calm young man he was before.
“Grandpa, I’m back.” Ji Huan was the first to say hello.
“Jiujiu!” Hei Dan also saw his uncle, and his little body immediately turned around as he opened his little paws. He immediately wanted his uncle to hold him.
Ji Huan took him over and looked at Naji with his slender eyes, and then Naji gave him a silly smile.
It seemed that everything was fine — Ji Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
“This is…” Standing between Grandpa and Naji, Ji Huan looked at the demon wearing a black cloak.
“This is Ah Wen. Isn’t the street very chaotic today? They are checking everywhere. Naji and I were almost detained in the market and couldn’t come back. Hey! It doesn’t matter if we can’t come back. But what about Hei Dan?? I was in a hurry when I suddenly met Ah Wen! Ah Wen recognized Hei Dan under my cloak and took us home through the back door.”
Grandpa explained at the side with a grateful expression on his face, but as he spoke, Grandpa’s face showed some doubts: “Ah Wen said that you met Hei Dan when you took him out. It’s strange, why don’t you seem to know him? And…when did you take him? Did Hei Dan go out to play?”
Ji Huan really didn’t know this person. Now that the sun had begun to set, Grandpa and Naji had already taken off their cloaks, and the black-cloaked demon opposite them was no exception.
The skin of this demon is bluish white, his eyebrows are very thick, with a deep cyan colour, and his eyes are also of the same colour. His face is very narrow and looks very delicate, but he is very tall. Among the few people standing at the door, he is the tallest, and it seems a bit out of sync with his delicate appearance, but after looking at it for a long time, it is also in harmony.
Out of politeness, Ji Huan also took off his cloak.
He politely thanked the other party again, but he did not ignore the fleeting expression on the other party’s face.
That expression represents…a surprise?
Doesn’t he know me?
Could it be that he recognized the wrong person?
But—
Ji Huan lowered his head and looked at Hei Dan.
Returning to his uncle’s arms, Hei Dan calmed down, and he was in the mood to look around again. Ji Huan noticed that he was holding a handkerchief in his hand, which was brand new and light green.
“Ah Wen gave it to Hei Dan.” Grandpa explained at the right moment.
Ji Huan nodded.
Knowing that Hei Dan uses handkerchiefs and even knowing that Hei Dan likes the colour green, it seems that the other party does know Hei Dan.
Hei Dan’s expression towards the demon didn’t look like it was his first time seeing the other party. Hei Dan must have seen this person before.
The other party said that they met him when he took Hei Dan out, but Ji Huan was sure that he had never met such a person while taking Hei Dan with him. But the other party knew Hei Dan, and knew…
Ji Huan glanced at the grey cloak he(jh) was wearing, and he realized what was going on.
“Thank you.” Ji Huan thanked him sincerely.
Ji Huan figured it out, but the other party involved in the matter – the monster named Ah Wen was completely confused!
Colivan— which was Ah Wen’s public name, was full of suspicion. From the moment the demon wearing the grey cloak appeared, his whole body stiffened.
In fact, from the moment he escorted the lamb-horned demon and others home, he felt uneasy all over.
He knew about the Green Shade Area. It was very quiet here and the land was valuable. He knew that the demons that could live here must have some skills. However, when he stood in front of this building, he…
At that moment, he used all of his strength to resist the urge to kneel down.
Anyone with a house would use a magic foundation, he knows this. As a demon who has mixed well in the organisation, he has visited many big demon’s houses. He also had the privilege of visiting the house of one of the Nine Demons. ——Although he could only stand outside the gate to guard at that time, the shock that house brought to him was something he would never forget in his life.
Later on, he found out that the monster buried in that house as the magic foundation was a magical beast from the famous hunting place Aputo. This monster had seven heads. The boss personally went and hunted it from Aptuo. That magical beast died in an extremely tragic state, any demon who stepped into the house it guards can feel its immortal anger and hatred.
At that time, when he chatted with the demons, one of the seniors also said that such a magic foundation was very rare, and even outside, it was rare to encounter such a luxurious magic foundation.
He agreed.
Until the moment he stood at the door of the lamb-horned demon’s house!
At that moment, he seemed to have stepped into the lair of a peerless monster!
Huge pressure envelopes the entire house, and this pressure is also well controlled. Outside the range, one will only feel ordinary pressure. However, when you get closer to the house, and even prepare to enter, that pressure will be fully released, it’s too overwhelming!
At that moment, what he thought of was: It was indeed the home of the grey-cloaked demon!
He had already determined in his heart that it was an anonymous high-level demon. When he was intimidated by the opponent’s demon base, he even recognized his own vision again.
Then he saw Ji Huan.
However—
He was obviously wearing the cloak from that day, and his aura was obviously the same as that day, but——
He always felt something was a little strange.
Then the other party dropped his cloak, revealing a pale and young face.
He… looks weak.
However, the aura on his body was very strong, and the cloak was stained with the blood of a total of 203 demons, including his old rival Ah Ji.
When the person looked at him expressionlessly, he did feel a slight trembling in his heart.
But……
He is not……
Not that person…
Until another voice suddenly sounded behind him.
“Good evening.” Cold, gentle, somewhat contradictory qualities, but blended together in harmony.
He has heard this voice before!
With a thought in his heart, Colivan quickly turned around, and then——
As the sun set, he saw the man standing behind him.
The other party did not wear a cloak, but instead wore a wide scarf embroidered with intricate dark patterns.
The black hair wasn’t long, and each hair strand has been carefully trimmed. His face is pale, without a trace of blood. His eyes are the same black as the previous young man, but they are completely different from his moist eyes. The dark eyes of this demon seem like two pools of stagnant water.
There was no emotional change, and it seemed as if nothing could enter those eyes.
He was of average height, slender figure, well-dressed, and wore a pair of black gloves. When he appeared, there was a faint fragrance floating in the wind, oh… the other party also used spices.
It seems that this demon is no different from those young demons from high-end cities.
However—
His legs trembled again.
Colivan’s heart trembled: Yes! I can’t go wrong this time! That day, wearing a grey cloak, it was this demon that passed by!
“This is Mr. Ah Wen. The Nine Demons were assassinated today, and the streets were very chaotic. Grandpa and the others almost couldn’t come back. It was Mr. Ah Wen who sent them back.” Seeing Ah Jin across from him, Ji Huan didn’t feel too surprised.
As if he would go home every day, he briefly introduced the matter very calmly.
“Ah! I know him.” He glanced slightly in Ah Wen’s direction, and his dark eyes soon fell on the black-haired young man’s face again.
“Is dinner ready? I didn’t eat at noon, so I’m a little hungry.” He asked the black-haired young man in a normal way, as if he would come home for dinner every day.
“I’ll do it after seeing off the guests.” Ji Huan glanced at him.
“Hmm.” Then, the big demon with black hair was satisfied, and his gaze slid down, stopping at Hei Dan in the young man’s arms.
He stretched out his hands, and Hei Dan nervously held on to his uncle with a tight grip.
Ji Huan watched the interaction between the two, feeling a bit speechless.
“I… want to say goodbye…” There was a hint of trembling in his voice, and Colivan turned around stiffly, ready to leave.
“Ah! I…I want to go back…back too.” Naji also made the same choice. Probably because the impact of that night was too profound, he is still a little afraid of Ah Jin until now.
“Take him.” Ji Huan took Hei Dan, who was tightly gripping on to him and handed him into Ah Jin’s hand. Then he immediately walked between Naji and the black-cloaked demon.
“It just so happens that there is a car full of things behind. You tell him how to move it.” Holding the little guy in his arms, the big black-haired demon said to the young man who was about to leave.
“Hmm.” Ji Huan just responded without turning back.
“Ah Jin… sir… recently… started… eating… at home… huh?” Although stuttering, Naji still liked chatting with Ji huan.
“Hmm.” Ji Huan nodded.
The two young men just chatted about trivial matters, completely unaware if there was anything wrong with the black-cloaked demon next door.
Yes…that’s right…
The big demon that slaughtered two hundred and three people that day is this demon in front of him!
This is his home!
This is his territory!
Every demon here belongs to him!
Although he didn’t speak clearly, the breath on the other party’s body declared the same.
He had no way to resist and could only choose to leave as soon as possible.
After walking around the corner, the sweaty black-cloaked demon just wanted to say goodbye to the young man as soon as possible and get back to his car. However, at this moment——
“Hey! Good evening, Mr. Ji Huan!” He heard a cheerful voice.
The frightened demon in black cloak hurriedly raised his head, and then——
Then he saw a face that is listed as a key wanted target by the organization and was also the primary defense target for big bosses from all walks of life.
The face that looked extremely cold in that photo was smiling cheerfully at the moment.
“Ah…Mr…” He heard the black-haired young man shouting halfway and finally looking at himself, but he did not call out that person’s name in the end.
But, there’s no need to introduce it….
He knew that person’s name.
Having been in the industry for hundreds of years, no less than a thousand demons have died under this person’s “curse”. He is the most feared object by those powerful demons, and the one they wanted to hire the most.
And at this moment:
“Mr. Ji Huan, Mr. Firzaha ordered some furniture. I was a little busy today and just had time to deliver it. In which room do you want me to deliver it to?”
At this moment, the top killer who made the demons fearful was sitting in a dirty truck filled with furniture, and he even had a towel around his neck to wipe the sweat.
“Huh? Furniture again?” The young man known as Ji Huan was stunned, and then looked over with a bit of embarrassment.
“It’s okay, I have to say goodbye. Please…please don’t mind me and arrange your own affairs.” As a guest, he knew it was time to say goodbye.
The courier who suddenly appeared, top killer Asimu, is a bit busy today…
He always felt as if he had discovered something.
But—
“Hey! Are you Mr. Ji Huan’s customer? Haha, I often serve Mr. Ji Huan, and the efficiency is very good~ You can also contact me if you need it.”
Smiling, the courier with a single ponytail took out a crumpled business card from his pocket and threw it into the arms of the frightened black-cloaked demon.
Gripping the business card tightly and swallowing nervously, Colivan simply didn’t know how he left that day.
That night, Colivan sat on the bed with the thin business card placed between his legs.
He looked at the business card for a long time.
Next to the business card was also a thick pile of newspapers. Through the name “Firzaha”, he finally learned something about that black-haired demon.
Right now, there are two opportunities in front of him, and he seems to be hesitating which one to choose.
