Chapter 808: Chapter 808
"Master, the opportunity has come, let’s begin." Lin Yucha’s voice rang out from the panel.
Du You nodded slightly, and Lin Yushi immediately stood up, whispering, "Master, I’m going to the bathroom." With a slight nod, Lin Yushi left her seat, but she had no intention of actually going to the bathroom.
Lin Yushi quickly returned to her room, her mind stirred, and she disappeared in an instant. Using Space Arrow, Lin Yushi had already appeared behind the scenes of the battle, hidden in the shadows. With a flash, all her equipment appeared.
"With the Jadeite Bow, cause chaos over there."
"Don’t worry, I’m already prepared." The Jadeite Bow was, after all, a deep red weapon; even without using any skills, it could still exert tremendous power in Lin Yushi’s hands.
The people before her were at most tier-two in strength, and if Lin Yushi truly wanted to hunt them, one skill could wipe out more than half of them. But today, Lin Yushi was not here to kill.
Secretly hiding in the shadows, Lin Yushi quickly drew arrows from her personal space, all ordinary arrows from this world. She didn’t use her Demon Extermination Power, relying solely on her equipment.
Lin Yushi’s right hand moved like a phantom, rapidly drawing the bowstring, with several arrows launched at once each time.
On the street, he had relaxed upon hearing that the other party was willing to compensate. Buying back was far better for one’s reputation than taking by force, and he believed that the lord would be very satisfied. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly the sky filled with arrows, raining down densely upon their group.
"Damn it, someone’s trying to intercept; take cover." In a moment, several people were killed on the street.
Everything happened so quickly that Count Kule didn’t have time to understand what was happening. But the next moment, Count Kule’s face turned very ugly. He had been taken for a soft target.
It wasn’t just one house making a move against him, but a second, and possibly more. For a traditional noble who cared deeply about face, it would be odd if Count Kule’s expression was not ugly.
What he didn’t notice was that the curtain of the carriage behind him fluttered, as if blown by the wind.
At this moment, Lin Yucha had already stealthily entered the carriage. "I apologize for the offense."
Lin Yucha whispered and quickly knocked out all the people in front of her. They were just ordinary people, completely powerless against a tier-four like Lin Yucha.
Lin Yucha also spotted a box on the carriage seat; the item was inside it. Opening the box, she found that the contents were correct, and her mark was still on it.
"This is it." Lin Yucha stored the item in her personal space, and Du You sensed it simultaneously.
"That’s right, the item is correct, quickly evacuate," Du You’s voice rose in the panel.
Lin Yucha tossed a discarded scroll into the box and closed it. With a flash, she left again and then notified Lin Yushi. Lin Yushi nodded gently, and her figure vanished in an instant.
"Damn it, where are they, has the enemy been found?"
"Report, no one has been found," someone shouted in the dark.
"Odd, what exactly do they want to do. Oh no, the scroll, bring out the scroll immediately!" Googlᴇ search 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
Finally, a man in black who had thought of something returned to the street, staring intensely at Count Kule. Count Kule sighed, knowing this wasn’t his territory and that his power alone was not enough.
"Alright, I’ll give it to you," he said, turning and walking towards the carriage. But as he opened the curtain, Count Kule’s expression changed. "What’s happened here, what happened to all of you, who did this?"
Count Kule found that his family members were just unconscious, not dead, which reassured him somewhat.
He was really worried that some bold enemies would target his family, in which case he would go mad. Suddenly, something occurred to Kule, and he quickly took his box, relieved to find the scroll inside upon opening it.
However, when he unrolled the scroll, he found that the content was completely different from what he had seen before.
Meanwhile, others also noticed Count Kule’s troubled expression. "What’s wrong, you’re not thinking of reneging, are you?"
"The item has been replaced, I don’t know by whom," Kule showed the unrolled scroll to everyone.
"My family has been knocked out; if you don’t believe me, I can let you check."
"You’re joking, sir, how could we dare to check a noble," the visitor said in a low voice, but with a noticeably bad expression. He knew this probably wasn’t Kule deceiving them, but rather that someone had indeed taken the item quietly.
At the same time, elsewhere, Lin Yucha had also returned to the room via space teleportation.
By the time Lin Yushi returned to her seat, the Photon Elf disguised as Lin Yucha had also stood up, excusing herself to fetch something from the room, and after returning to the room, she switched back with Lin Yucha.
Lin Yucha donned the cloak and descended the stairs again; everything was perfect.
Du You smiled at the two, who unobtrusively quickened the pace of their meal.
However, the meal was interrupted before it was finished. The front door was suddenly kicked open, and a group of soldier-like people rushed in. "Everyone, stay put, a noble has just been attacked by criminals; we need to conduct an investigation."
An attack by criminals? It must be those after the scroll. They hadn’t expected them to act so quickly; the perpetrators were surely the local nobility, perhaps even the city lord himself, possibly with many others involved.
"State your identities," someone approached, scanning several people with a device.
Du You felt a chill in his heart, realizing they had a way to find the scroll. Luckily, he had stored the item in his personal space; otherwise, they would have discovered it.
Du You calmly said, "This is my badge, these two are my guards. Is it not permissible for me to keep them from being seen?"
"Oh, it’s the Count, my apologies," upon seeing the badge, the men’s expressions changed, and they hurriedly bowed in apology. A Count was already a major noble, not someone these lesser folk dared to offend lightly.
Especially since they hadn’t found the item, who knew what whims these nobles could have. Offending them could easily lead to retaliation for a minor character like themselves.
These people didn’t suspect Du You because since the very beginning, Du You and his "two" guards had been there eating, with all the witnesses present able to attest to this, so it was almost impossible for him to be the culprit.
