Chapter 1048: Chapter 68: Bloodbath of the Secret Elites
Ah Dai concentrated on cultivating his energy and scanning the surroundings for any signs of breath. When he felt no more threat, he glided toward the inner city, using his swift movement technique to successfully enter Dark City. Inside Dark City, the silence was as deep as death. Passing a row of residential houses, he could clearly see the vast expanse of land that had been laid to waste, the devastation caused by Sheng Xie the day before was shocking; hundreds of square kilometers of land had completely sunk slightly, with not even remnants of walls and ruins left behind. Taking a deep breath, Ah Dai pushed his movement technique to the limit and turned into a wisp of light smoke in the deep night, racing towards the direction of the Wealth Hall nightclub. The Wealth Hall nightclub would be his first target.
The Wealth Hall nightclub remained as calm as before, seemingly unaffected by the immense destruction within the city, with the same two young girls standing at the entrance. Possibly due to the scarcity of guests, they were chatting desultorily. "Sister, what was that huge golden light yesterday? I went to ask Manager Jin Bo, and he scolded me but didn’t say anything."
"You should stop prying; that’s not something we should know. Knowing too much is not good! Haven’t you heard? Everything that happened yesterday has been completely sealed off by the people from the City Lord’s Mansion, no one knows what happened. I also only heard that a large number of troops were mobilized last night, and many died in that wasteland. Now everyone is saying that the Sky God was furious because of the bloodshed in our Dark City, which is why the blame came down. Today most of the gambling houses are very quiet, and only a few dozen people have come to ours."
"Ah! It can’t be, the Sky God mustn’t be angry! What if the next explosion reaches us? The Sky God’s anger killed so many people, wouldn’t that make him the Grim Reaper?"
"Shh, don’t talk nonsense, even the Sky God you dare slander. However, I guess our boss is busy enough this time, they say the boss is a big shot in the city. The losses in the city this time are probably going to be counted in tens of millions of Gold Coins, okay, let’s not discuss this anymore, it’s so quiet today, we might get off work early."
Listening to this, a cold smile hung on the corner of Ah Dai’s mouth as he thought, Sky God? If the Sky God were wise, he would have completely destroyed Dark City by now. Since he does not wish to do it, let me do it in his place. Yes, starting now, I am the nightmare of all evil forces, I am the Grim Reaper you speak of. In a flash, Ah Dai suddenly appeared in front of the two girls. When the girls suddenly saw a person covered with scales in front of them, they were scared witless, about to scream, but they found they couldn’t make a sound, as hands like cast steel had clasped their throats. Ah Dai snorted coldly, "Tell me where Jin Bo is, don’t think about screaming, if you scream, I will end your lives right now." Saying this, he slowly released his left hand.
The girl gasped for a few breaths and caressed her own throat, her eyes filled with terror, "Don’t kill us, Manager Jin Bo is inside, we really don’t know which floor he’s on!"
Ah Dai gave them a cold glance as True Qi circulated within him, promptly knocking the two girls unconscious. With a flick of his wrist, he sent them to a corner ten meters away.
Once again entering the gate of Wealth Hall nightclub, Ah Dai wore an even colder expression on his face. This was the dark place where he had been tormented for eight long years! He walked step by step into the interior, and what emerged before him was an empty hall with only a few maids shuttling back and forth. They all saw Ah Dai’s arrival and were momentarily taken aback. One maid, slightly braver than the rest, asked with a trembling voice, "Sir, are you here to play a few hands?"
Ah Dai’s face was expressionless, he shook his head lightly and said indifferently, "No, I’m not here to play, I’m here to kill. Tell me, where is Jin Bo?"
The girl was startled for a moment, and with a scream, she and the other few maids turned and ran. Ah Dai paid them no mind and headed straight for the opulent Wealth Hall on the first floor. There were only a sparse dozen or so customers in the hall and Ah Dai’s arrival suddenly drew everyone’s attention. "Tell me, where is Jin Bo?" Ah Dai’s voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the hall.
A Steward came forward and said coldly, "Who are you? What do you want with our Manager?"
Ah Dai looked at the Steward and could clearly feel from his aura that he possessed considerable martial skills, "Nothing much, I just want his life."
The Steward was taken aback and then became furious, "So you’ve come here looking for trouble. I see you are tired of living for coming to cause trouble at Wealth Hall." The bodyguards and staff from the gambling house immediately surrounded him, each appearing to have some skill. Ah Dai sighed, "You are driven by evil; your souls have been soiled and do not deserve to continue living." He slowly raised his hands and a yellow light began to grow clear. Two yellow short swords materialized in Ah Dai’s hands.
Not knowing where he pulled it from, the Steward drew a dagger that emitted a faint green glow and thrust it towards Ah Dai like lightning. Ah Dai sneered disdainfully, floated lightly up, and twisted eerily; crossing his Energy Swords, he launched an unadorned attack with his astonishing speed directly through the group of people in front of him. He quietly landed behind the group; this was an accidental creation based on the First Style of Hades Sword Technique: Nether Flash, but it was much weaker than when he wielded the Sword of Hades. Turning to the stunned gamblers and panic-stricken maids, he said, "Gambling is harmful; do not gamble anymore. Remember my name, I am—Grim Reaper." After speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared. The dozen or so standing figures sprayed blood from their foreheads, along with white brain matter, and slowly collapsed to the ground, their eyes turning a lifeless gray, revealing an expression of terror and unwillingness, drained of any sign of life.
