33 - Red Moon City

Liu Chen stared at the voice he heard. He could see a beautiful woman there. But he's not interested at all. Even according to him, his mother is more beautiful.

"What's really going on here. Why are you guys making such a fuss at my restaurant?!" said the woman.

"Young master Hu?!", surprised the woman when she saw Hu Shiling's state. He turned his gaze to a servant who was nearby.

"What exactly happened?"

The waiter simply looked at the female manager without saying anything. Because he doesn't know anything about what's going on right now.

"Why don't you answer me?" menajer.

Before long, a servant who was behind the manager immediately replied, "Miss Xiu, I will tell you what happened"

The manager called Miss Xiu turned to the waiter and said, "Tell me"

The manager was named Xiu Juan.

The waiter directly said Hu Shilin's first initial incident went inside the restaurant. Until he and some of his friends went to the manager.

Hearing that, making Xiu Juan angry, he also looked at Hu Shilin who was still lying on the floor. "Young master Hu, you better leave right now. Because you've been harassing my customers"

Hu Shilin immediately said with difficulty, "No-nona Xiu, I am the son of the mayor. You can't kick me out"

"You have no right to set me here, young master Hu. This is my restaurant. You better get out of here well or I'll drive you out rudely" Xiu Juan said firmly.

Hu Shilin seemed to have difficulty standing up. Seeing this, Xiu Juan immediately called the restaurant guard to bring Hu Shilin and her bodyguards.

The guards immediately did as ordered by Xiu Juan. They immediately brought young master Hu and all of his bodyguards who had fainted.

Xiu Juan looked directly at the young man on the second floor. "Sir, I'm sorry about this"

Liu Chen looked at Xiu Juan and nodded, "It's okay, then this is in exchange", he immediately threw a bag of gold coins towards Xiu Juan.

"Gentlemen, no need-"

Liu Chen immediately cut off Xiu Juan's remark, "You definitely need it to renovate this restaurant"

"Thank you sir", Xiu Juan paid his respects immediately.

Liu Chen immediately turned his body and looked towards his friend, "Let's get out of here, we'll find another place"

"Good"

The four of them left the restaurant.

Xiu Juan seemed to feel guilty for what happened today. He did not like the nature of young master Hu who always acted arbitrarily.

On the way, Liu Chen looked towards Song Quon's neck. "You're okay, aren't you? Is anyone sick?"

"I'm fine, his sword only scratches my neck a little", Song Quon smiled to appease Liu Chen.

"Alright, if you're okay" Liu Chen nodded.

"Ekhem, you seem to be paying a lot of attention to brother Quon, right?" wu Anming said as he walked slightly forward to approach these two young men before him.

"What do you mean, Anming?" song Quon asked in surprise.

"Are you really just friends, I mean if you're just friends or-"

"Hey stop right there! I seem to know what you mean, don't think like that. Chen and I are just good friends, nothing more. Don't think strangely about the attention Chen has given me" Song Quon said.

"What does Anming want to say? I don't understand" Liu Chen said in surprise.

"Chen don't listen to him, he's just kidding. There was no need to think too far", Song Quon stared at Liu Chen.

"Oh, so. Alright", Liu Chen nodded.

"Are we going to go eat to that other restaurant Mr Chen?" asked Wu Xianlun who was walking behind by herself.

"Yes, you and your brother must be hungry. So we're going to go there", Liu Chen directly pointed to a restaurant.

Wu Xianlun smiled, "Yey, eat!"

Meanwhile, at the City Guard house.

Mr. Mayor looks panicked to see the condition of his son who is now lying in his bed. His body was covered in wounds, his head also looked bloody.

"What's really going on?" said the Mayor. He glanced to the side, where there were two guards from the restaurant who delivered his son.

"Young master Hu interrupted a customer at our restaurant. So that customer went straight against young master Hu. Even all the bodyguards were also knocked unconscious by him. I found out because I heard a story from a friend of mine who was a waiter there" said a bodyguard.

The mayor looked at his son while shaking his head, "Why don't you ever change? Do not act with others. Why don't you ever obey your father's words?"

"Dad, you have a higher position in this town of Melati, why should I respect them? Those who should respect me!" hu Shilin said with pain.

"Just talk to you Lin'er, you never change" the Mayor shook his head regretfully.

"Master Mayor, we say goodbye because our task is done here" said a restaurant guard.

The Mayor immediately nodded, "Thank you for taking my son home", smiling.

"Then, we say goodbye to the Mayor", the two guards went straight from there.

"Here drink, Lin'er. You will recover quickly after taking this", the Mayor directly gave Hu Shilin a pill.

Hu Shilin immediately swallowed it without hesitation. Then, in just a few seconds all his wounds disappeared. And the pain he felt.

"That's so fast" Hu Shilin said in surprise.

"This pill is indeed very great, it's not wrong that I bought it at the silver moon association", the Mayor immediately smiled.

"Hehe, in this way, I can repay you. I'm gonna send a killer to kill you. I won't let you go because you've stepped on my pride in front of Miss Xiu" Hu Shilin said with a smile.

He certainly would not have thought if the pill was a pill made by the person he hated.

In the evening, a group of people in dark clothes were seen on the roof of a house.

"From the information I got, he was in the room of the inn", one of the people immediately pointed to an inn.

"Hm? There yes, all right. Let's move on and get this job done quickly"

They went straight into one of the rooms through the window. But they didn't find who was inside.

"Wouldn't he be here? Then where is he now?" muttered one of the 5 people.

They were the 5 hired assassins that Hu Shilin had hired. The task given was to kill Liu Chen.

"Are you looking for me?" there was a voice coming from behind the five assassins.

The five turned their bodies and gazed towards the source of the sound. "Why are you behind us?"

"Hm? Well.I was out for a while, so I just went into the room again" said the voice lightly. It was Liu Chen.

"You! Kill him, everybody! Once done, we will give his body to the demonic beast, hahaha"

"Good!"

The five people were intending to attack Liu Chen, yet before that happened, they were already dead.

Liu Chen reinserted the sword he had just retrieved from the space ring. He stared at the dead body in front of him. "I have to clean it up!"

The Mayor's House. Hu Shilin appeared to be standing outside the house, "Why haven't they come yet?! They are slow to do their job!" his gumm.

Shortly after saying this, a falling object was heard. Hearing that voice, Hu Shilin immediately went to the place where she heard the falling object.

When he arrived, he was very surprised to see the assassin he hired had become a corpse. "W-how can it?! I-they're all dead?!"

"Currently, you won't be able to kill me with a weak assassin like them! I was going to let you go at first, but I don't think I'm going to do it right now" said a voice from the sky.

Hu Shilin stared at the source of the voice, surprised. "Why can you fly?!"

"Heh, you think? Isn't it only people with emperor level and greater than that, who can do it?" said Liu Chen. The corner of his lips lifted.

"That-can't be!"

"You don't have to show that kind of expression in front of me. Since you will soon catch up with them", after saying that, Liu Chen instantly disappeared from where he was.

Hu Shilin looked around cautiously. "Get out! Don't be a coward!"

"Heh, you're the coward. Want to kill me by hiring a hit man? Why don't you come straight to me and fight with me? Are you scared?" taunted Liu Chen.

Hearing the voice behind him, Hu Shilin directly turned her body backwards. But he didn't see anyone there. "Get out!"

"I'm here and you're leaving this world" Liu Chen stood before Hu Shilin.

Yet Hu Shilin was already a corpse. His head had already been cut off by Liu Chen's sword.

"You're lucky, because I killed you right away" Liu Chen said flatly. He directly inserted his sword into the space ring and flew straight up.

He also held his head slightly dizzy, "Uh, why the end of this I often dizzy? Maybe I thought too much unnecessarily", Liu Chen no longer thought about his headache, he immediately flew quickly towards the inn.

The next morning, the entire crowd was shocked by the news of the death of young master Hu. There were many people who were happy when they heard this news, but they also became sorry for the Mayor. The Mayor was a good person, the family he had was also only the young master Hu who was his son.

The mayor and the people who lived in his house did not tell him about the existence of anyone other than Hu Shilin's corpse. Because they don't know who they are either.

The mayor is actually upset with the killer of his son, but he also understands what the reason for the perpetrator to do that. He had warned his son several times not to behave carelessly and arbitrarily because it could reduce his life. If he accidentally offends a strong person or maybe someone with an unusual background.

It was the day that the Mayor would not be able to forget this day. Today is the day of her son's death.

After the clothes Liu Chen ordered were done, he and his friend went towards the Blue city. Liu Chen had already been told about the location of the place that would become their headquarters.

When it was late afternoon, they intended to stop in a city not far in front of them.

"You better leave right now from here" said one guard.

"Why did you throw us out?" wu Anming said somewhat annoyedly.

"You better not get into this city. You just go away or you will receive the consequences!" snarled the other guard.

"What are you going to do"

Wu Anming's words were cut off by Liu Chen's words, "Pacify yourself. Don't get angry like that"

Wu Anming was instantly silent. He stared at the annoyed guards that were at this gate.

Liu Chen removed the touch of his hand from Wu Anming's shoulder. As he looked at the guards, he could see there was fear in their gazes. "What is really going on in this town? Why do you look scared?"

"You'd better just go and don't come back to this town again" said one guard.

"You better tell me what's going on in this town. Maybe we can help" Liu Chen said kindly.

The two guards looked at each other.

"Just answer what brother Chen is asking!" yang Wu Anming.

"Good, fine. Actually, there was an incident in our town"

"What's that incident?" ask Wu Xianlun.

"We don't really want to explain. But, this is for your own good as well. Every night, there will be the sound of a flute and every sound of a flute is heard, then there will be people killed"

Liu Chen frowned, "Can you explain it more clearly?"

"Surely, all the inhabitants will bind themselves to the wall when it is night. Because when the sound of the flute starts to sound, then the residents will go crazy. This has been happening for a month"

"What do you mean, guard?" asked Wu Xianlun who looked still clueless.

"Better you guys just leave now from here. We don't want any more victims"

"If it's like that, why don't you just leave this town?" said Liu Chen.

"We couldn't do it", the guard shook his head with a wry smile, "There have been some residents who have left the city. But they always could not do it, because they would be found dead under various conditions. The natives here will not be able to leave the city. They're tied up here so they can't get out of here"

"Then brother Chen, it's better that we just leave from here right now. I have a bad feeling about this" said Wu Anming who looked rather frightened.

"We're going to get into this town. After all, we're all tired, I want to eat too" Song Quon said.

"But brother Quon, life is worth more than food. We can't get inside this city", Wu Anming stared at Song Quon.

"Heh, you can live until now because of what? Of course, because of eating, right? Food is so important!" said Song Quon.

Song Quon stared at the guards, "You better let us in right now. We don't believe your story at all"

"Young people are now very reckless. We've foreclosed the danger of going inside. Why don't you just go?" said a guard in annoyance.

"Sure, because I don't believe your story. Where there are people who will go crazy when they hear the sound of a flute. Maybe the person who plays the flute is not good at playing the flute to make his voice unsightly" said Song Quon indifferently.

"Obviously, we told you. If you want to enter, then you better tie yourself up at night. Today will be night" said another guard.

"Thank you for your warning. We'll keep going inside. Forgive my friend" Liu Chen said with an awkward smile.

"Don't blame us if anything happens to you, we'll leave as soon as we close the gate"

Liu Chen nodded. He and his friends began to enter the city.

A cold wind blew against the bodies of the four of them. Along with the wind, the atmosphere they felt also felt different.

"Why do we keep going inside? They have told us about this city" said Wu Anming who was a bit frightened. Just by entering the city alone, makes her feel bad.

"My feeling has been bad since I entered this city" said Wu Xianlun who appeared to be frightened as well.

"Heh, you guys are too timid. The guards just made up stories. There can't be a flute like that, can there?" said Song Quon lightly.

Liu Chen looked back. He can see. The guards started to leave and the gate had also started to close.

He breathed, "It's a friend. We'd better find a place to stay now and tomorrow morning, we'll go home"

"Don't forget to eat!" said Song Quon.

"Huh, basic brain food! Your mind is just eating!", Wu Anming snorted.

"You have no right to rule me!" song Quon said unconcernedly.

"I saw the name of this city and the name of this city was strange. Red moon, why is it called that?" said Liu Chen.

"Come on" Song Quon shook his head.
