On the surface, the entire royal capital was peaceful.
But just as Cang Qiangwei and the others had predicted, Octopus naturally would not let go of the same information. Not only that, they even knew more than Cang Qiangwei — — because one of their "commodities" had been taken away by the adventurer team.
Octopus naturally did not think that the adventurer team would go against them for a mere commodity. From their point of view, all of this was obviously a well-planned conspiracy. There might be a powerful force behind the adventurer team, but what was their goal?
A warning? A demonstration of their strength? Or a backstabbing?
Octopus quickly came up with a countermeasure. No matter what, they were the lords of darkness who controlled the underground world of the kingdom. They would not allow others to provoke them!
So, early the next morning, two people came to Sheyan's door.
"I'm Stapfang Henwei Shu, the roving emissary of the royal capital."
A man dressed in luxurious clothes that resembled a fat pig grinned as he looked at Fangzheng and introduced himself.
"So, what do you want?"
Looking at the fat pig in front of him, Fangzheng raised an eyebrow and asked.
"There's a shop.... Ah, it's this gentleman's shop...."
As he spoke, the fat pig gestured to a man who had a scar on the corner of his mouth and was covered in a cloak.
"His shop has come to report that you've forcefully taken away his employee.... You should know that the kingdom strictly prohibits the sale of slaves. Isn't this against the kingdom's law?"
"What the hell are you talking about!"
Upon hearing this, Hui Hui was the first to jump up before Fangzheng could say a word.
"That girl was about to die! We saved her! What kind of slave sale is this?! You're lying through your teeth! "
"Hui Hui."
Fangzheng waved his hand, gesturing for Hui Hui to shut up.
"So?"
"What you've done is undoubtedly a crime, but the shop owner said that you can be lenient. Of course, you'll have to pay some compensation and handling fees...."
"Haha."
However, before Fat Pig could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fangzheng with a sneer.
"Alright, enough with the nonsense. I know what you're here for, so I'll just say it."
As he spoke, Fangzheng extended his hand and pointed at the two people in front of him.
"I'll give you a choice. Do you want to go back and behave yourself? Or were they prepared to completely destroy it? You can go back and tell your master that I don't care about a cripple like Ba Zhi. But if the mice crawl around where I can see, it's still very annoying. "
"What, what did you say?!"
Hearing this, Fat Pig stood up angrily.
"How dare you threaten me? A mere adventurer dared to threaten the security officer of the capital? Do you know that you're making an enemy of the kingdom? "
"Hehe, a country that's not even as big as a fingernail is nothing to me. Now, you can scram!"
After saying that, Fangzheng snorted coldly and unleashed his [Dragon's Might]. Upon sensing the terrifying Dragon's Might, the fat pig and the scarred man beside him screamed in agony and scrambled out of the hotel.
"Hmph."
Looking at the closed door, Fangzheng snorted.
"Sir Knight, is this really okay?"
The priestess felt a little uneasy. After all, she was just a small adventurer, while the other party was an official representing the kingdom. Although the way Fat Pig looked at her just now made her very uncomfortable, if they were to make an enemy of a country because of this … the priestess could not imagine the consequences.
"It doesn't matter. This is how it should be!"
Compared to the priestess, Hui Hui was so excited that she was dancing with joy.
"That's right, it's just a kingdom. It's nothing in front of our tyranny! Let's go blow up the palace now.... "
"You'd better behave yourself."
Fangzheng grabbed Hui Hui's head and pressed her back into the chair.
"Do it when it's time for you to do it. Before that, sit down obediently … Aiz."
Hearing Fangzheng calling her, Aiz, who was sitting in the corner maintaining her weapon, raised her head and looked at Fangzheng.
"Get ready. We're leaving this place now. You're in charge of protecting the girl."
"Where are we going?"
Asked the priestess curiously when she heard Fangzheng's order.
"Let's get out of here first. The other party may mobilize the kingdom to cause trouble for us. After all, we're just adventurers. If the other party insists that we've broken the law and wants to arrest us, it'll be a little troublesome … In short, let's leave this place first. Then … it's up to them."
At the same time, in the underground tomb, some people were also taking action.
"The kingdom has decided to take advantage of the fact that Eight-Finger's forces are greatly weakened tonight to completely eliminate this underground organization."
The High Demon pushed up his glasses and said.
"Lord Ainz, I think this is an opportunity for us to replace the Eight-Fingered Necropolis and become the largest underground force in this country," said Ainz.
"Hmm …"
The Lich sitting on the throne thought for a moment.
"Is this really going to be okay? You see, we still don't have a clue how Shatiya was killed. Is it really going to be okay to act rashly in this situation? "
"There will be some risks, but don't worry, we're well prepared."
Speaking until here, the High Devil in the suit smiled.
"Also, no one can escape unscathed after killing a member of Nasaric's Catacombs. Please rest assured, I have a plan to deal with those who threaten and kill our members. Also, if we can gain control of the underground forces of this kingdom, Lord Ainz's intelligence network will be more stable. "
"Hmm …"
The Lich fell silent again after hearing the High Demon's answer.
Frankly speaking, the Lich did not intend to act so rashly. Chatiya's death made him very nervous and worried. But as the High Demon said, it would be too careless to start a battle without knowing anything about the other party. In order to obtain information, they had no choice but to take some risks …
"Okay, I understand."
The Lich made a decision.
"Then, I'll leave it to you, Dimiugos."
"Yes, Supreme Eminence."
The High Demon bowed his head when he heard the Lich's order.
"Please leave it to me, Supreme Eminence. I will bring you victory and glory."
