Truth be told, Hao Ren did not expect the situation in the Athens' sanctuary to be so serious. Or rather, the opposition between the radicals and conservatives, the young and the ancients had reached such a level. He initially thought that even if these people were at odds with each other, they would choose to negotiate in a relatively peaceful way under the suppression of the Ancients and the big families. He did not expect these young people to be so brave as to besiege the council hall.
Sitting in this meeting hall were the representatives of the largest families in the shelter, and there were also a few Ancient Ones!
Where did these reckless young otherworldlings get their confidence from? Were they really just hotheads?
After the initial surprise, Hao Ren quickly realized that something was not right here.
At this time, the confrontation in the square was still going on.
The members of the 'new generation of families' gathered outside the council hall surged in the square like a black tide. Countless werewolves, vampires, night demons, wizards, and other strange humanoid creatures were mixed in the mess. Some were shouting slogans, some were shoving the council guards, and some were sneaking around in the crowd. The noise came from all directions, making people dizzy and upset. These seemingly united groups were actually in a state of chaos. Although the innate hostility had almost completely disappeared, the enmity that had accumulated over the years still existed. The various races in the square maintained a subtle situation of mutual vigilance, and a closer look would reveal that these people were divided into many small and medium-sized groups that intersected with each other …
It was like a pot of porridge.
"Let the people in the council hall come out and tell the truth! The demon hunters have disappeared! Why are you hiding it from the public?! "
"Weak and incompetent, holding a position without doing any work! This is a great opportunity for us to reclaim the glory of our ancestors. The people in the council hall will only make us miss this opportunity! "
"We need an explanation! We need the truth! The disappearance of the demon hunters has been confirmed. Why is no one coming out to tell the truth?! "
"Who is afraid of those humans? They are the descendants of our slaves. Only cowards will bow to them! We want to take back this world and put humans back in their cages! The era of the gods will come! We are the rulers of this world! "
Chaotic voices spread everywhere in the square, and yet there were clear shouts coming from everywhere. The opposition sharply criticized the Great Families and the Ancients for their cautious decisions, as if they had already grasped the true direction of the world. Nangong Sanba narrowed his eyes and scanned the crowd in the square. Although his strength was not good, his eyesight was outstanding. Soon, he saw those guys who were wandering around in the crowd.
"… Someone is trying to incite them," Nangong Sanba said in a low voice. "And the reaction of the soldiers in the square is also very strange."
Nangong Wuyue's eyes widened as she looked around. "Why are the soldiers behaving so strangely?"
Before Nangong Sanba could say anything, Lily had already crossed her arms and muttered, "They're just doing their job, and they don't look nervous at all, especially the guards in front. Look at how calm they are. Either they're used to the riots every now and then, or they're cooperating well with the people in the square."
The husky's analysis was so logical that Hao Ren could not help but glance at her. "Why are you so observant now?"
"Of course, I graduated from Peking University four times, and I've been to the Bund! What haven't I seen? This kind of situation, I know it! " Lily put her hands on her hips and wagged her big furry tail. She looked like she was expecting a compliment. She then pointed to her eyes and said, "And I really have the Fiery Eyes of Truth! Look at my eyes, they're golden … "
"It seems that the soldiers in the council hall are not necessarily of the same mind as the Old Families," Hao Ren said, smacking his lips. "The people in this city are completely unsettled."
"Just unsettled?" Vivian squinted her eyes and muttered to herself. "I don't think it's that simple …"
While Vivian and the rest were muttering, the rioters in the square had begun a new round of noise. There were several "leaders" in the crowd, and now, a new representative was walking forward, surrounded by the people around him. It was a dark-skinned young man whose eyes glowed with a strange white light. His slogan was no different from the others, but his tone and demeanor were full of incitement, as if he had practiced the lines and gestures he should use at this moment countless times at home. He waved his fist and vehemently denounced the council hall, preaching the belief of destroying human civilization and reclaiming the glorious era. His voice almost spread across the square. "We want to get out of the sanctuary! We are the masters of the outside world! Let the humans go back to the cage! "
As he shouted, Hao Ren and Vivian stood a few meters in front of him, watching the farce coldly.
"Let the humans go back to the cage! Let the humans go back to the cage! "
Countless people responded to the dark-skinned young man's slogan. At first, it was a small part of the crowd who waved the flag and shouted, but soon, ordinary young people who were watching the scene joined in and began to shout enthusiastically.
"The sanctuary is our shame!"
"The sanctuary is our shame!"
"Eliminate the maggot in the council hall, eliminate the traitor Hessiana! She is the traitor of our generation! "
"Hessiana is the traitor of our generation!"
Vivian silently came in front of the dark-skinned young man and stared at him with a blank expression.
The dark-skinned young man danced with joy, waving his arms and shouting. He had a sorrowful and passionate expression on his face. However, all of this was meaningless to Vivian. Vivian just stared at him without saying a word.
On one side was the impassioned family representative, and on the other side was the most ancient vampire, expressionless. The strange atmosphere finally infected the crowd. The dark-skinned young man bit the bullet and shouted a few slogans, but the awkwardness on his face became more and more serious. Finally, he could not stand the strange confrontation anymore. He stared at Vivian and shouted, "What are you looking at?!"
"I'm looking at you … jumping and shouting," Vivian shrugged. "Do you really not know why the councilors forbade you from declaring war on humans?"
The dark-skinned young man felt insulted when he heard the first half of Vivian's words. When he heard the second half, his expression changed slightly. He immediately raised his voice. "We don't want those idiots to ride on our heads! They've blocked the news! They're up to no good! He … wait a minute, you and Hessiana are … "
Vivian slapped the dark-skinned young man's face. The crisp sound of the slap silenced the crowd.
The dark-skinned young man did not know what had happened. He staggered from Vivian's slap. He covered his face and stared blankly at Vivian. He did not expect to be treated in such a way under such circumstances. He had thought about being suppressed by the big families, about clashing with the city guards, and even about a heroic battle to the death that would leave his name in the future. However, he had never thought that he would be slapped so hard that his head would be full of stars. After a while, the young man finally came to his senses. His face suddenly twisted, and the white light in his eyes brightened. "You actually …"
Vivian did not let him finish. She waited for him to regain his balance before she raised her hand and slapped him again. Smack!
The crowd also came to their senses and immediately rushed forward to stop it. But at that moment, a few older members of the city guards finally recognized the person who was raging. It was Vivian, the living ancestor of all unusual creatures. So, the lazy-looking guards suddenly became energetic as if they were on steroids. They desperately rushed forward to push the violent and reckless young troublemakers back.
Vivian, on the other hand, did not care about what was happening around her. She simply released an electric arc to interrupt the dark-skinned young man's counterattack, and then slapped him again. Smack!
The dark-skinned young man tried to resist a few times, but he was just a "spokesperson" who was good at acting and speaking. Besides, the Nightstalkers were not good at fighting. Even if Vivian was weakened a dozen times over, it was impossible that she could not deal with this "little guy". Soon, there was only the monotonous sound of the slap. Vivian did not change her tactics at all. She used electric arcs and shadow spells to control the young man's movements, and then, firmly, slapped him again and again.
After beating for an unknown amount of time, the dark-skinned young man finally had a mental breakdown. His previous heroic and impassioned expression had all turned into a dumbfounded expression. He even subconsciously shouted a classic line without caring about his image, "You … Even my father has never hit me before!"
Vivian slapped him again. "But I have hit your father before!"
Smack!
"I have also hit your father's father!"
Smack!
"I have hit the fathers of every generation of your ancestors! Back then, other than fighting werewolves and demon hunters, the ones I fought the most were you Nightstalkers! "
Smack! Smack!
The loud slaps went on for a long time until everyone, including the city guards and the troublemakers, were petrified.
Vivian retracted her hand and shrugged. "It's the first time I've seen such a cheeky guy. Young people these days don't recognize their elders."
"Is it over?" Hao Ren had been watching from the sidelines for a long time. When he saw that Vivian had finally calmed down, he stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect you to be so protective of Hessiana."
Vivian's eyebrows arched. "Nonsense. No matter how naughty a naughty child is, she is still my child. Me hitting her and scolding her is my personal entertainment. Others scolding her is trespassing!"
At this time, the young Nightstalker finally came to his senses. He was filled with fear. "You … You are the Crimson Moon …"
"Now you know," Vivian said with her arms akimbo. "I hit you for your own good! Don't you know what will happen if you are used as a tool? Go do what you are supposed to do. Don't glare at me. Do you think I don't know that there is someone behind you? Go away … "
More than half of the troublemakers nearby were at a loss, but some of them changed their expressions several times. Then, as if they had been commanded, these people dispersed in all directions. Soon, the bystanders also walked towards the exit of the square.
When most of the people had left, Hesperides came up to Vivian and said casually, "The one you just hit is from Australia. He is a descendant of the Nightstalker family of the Finkel family …"
When Vivian heard this, she immediately looked a little embarrassed. "Err … I accidentally lied to him just now."
Hao Ren was puzzled. "What did you lie to him about?"
Vivian rubbed her hands. "I don't think I hit his father …"
Everyone was speechless.
"Forget it, it's all in the details." Vivian waved her hand and skipped the topic. She turned and walked towards the council hall. "These are all clowns outside. I want to see who is the one causing trouble inside!"
