"STOP!! Do you want to enter the city without going through the normal procedure? Who do you think you are? Someone from the royal family? Hahaha…" The captain guard shouted loudly while pointing his finger at Cain and laughed.
But when he saw Cain, who was standing up, he immediately stopped laughing and froze for a few seconds, dumbfounded.
"Did you just realize who I am? You look like an idiot right now." Cain chuckled as he saw the captain guard's expression.
A few seconds later, the captain guard's face became solemn, and he said something Cain didn't expect to hear.
"Who are you? How dare you impersonate the youngest prince of our kingdom!" The captain guard yelled even louder so that people from afar could hear him.
"Huh?!" Cain frowned when he heard it and thought for a few seconds.
He then laughed loudly as he realized why the captain guard was acting like that. "Hahaha… Who's behind you? The Second Prince? The Third Prince?"
"Wh-what are you talking about? You're an impersonator, yet you dare to tarnish this kingdom's princes too." The captain guard stuttered a little before continuing to yell.
"Today, in front of a lot of people, I will execute the person who dares to impersonate the youngest prince!"
"Cut the crap, I won't waste any more time with your nonsense. Let's go, Nix!" Cain decided to end the drama and instructed Nix to continue towards his mansion.
"Dante, if he dares to block our path again or even makes a move, just kill him directly." Cain ordered coldly.
"Yes, My Lord!" Dante replied, already placing his hand on his sword as if ready to kill the captain guard if necessary.
"You-you!" The captain guard was speechless and quickly realized Cain was really going to ignore him and proceed into the city.
"Kill him, Valcos." The captain guard ordered his eagle coldly, recalling a warning from his higher-ups.
The eagle released a few wind slashes as it flapped its wings, aiming at the Ice Dragon and Cain, who were not far away.
Dante smiled wickedly before unsheathing his sword and used his [Dark Slash] skill.
He slashed his sword, releasing a crescent wave of dark energy, effortlessly slicing through the wind slashes and then cutting both the eagle and the captain guard in two.
Cain was surprised, not feeling disgusted as he watched the captain guard's body being sliced in half by Dante's skill.
Instead, he was amazed at how cool Dante's skill looked in real life, far better than imagining it while reading novels or comics with impressive art.
He could even say that it was better than any anime with good visual effects. Watching it with his own eyes was another level.
While Cain was thinking about the scene he had just witnessed, he was surprised by sudden notifications from the system.
[Ding! Dante has killed a rank 5 Beast Master.]
[Ding! Dante has killed a rank 5 Eagle Beast.]
[Ding! Calculating your rewards…]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1x High-level Summoning Pool.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1x High-level Lottery Pool.]
The continuous notifications left Cain dumbfounded, as he wasn't expecting another reward from the system.
However, he immediately ignored the rewards as he remembered something and shouted loudly so that everyone nearby could hear him, intending to relay a message to whoever was lurking behind the scenes.
"If anyone asks what happened here, just say the youngest prince killed this idiot because of his own stupidity. I'll be waiting at my mansion if you dare! Hahaha…"
Afterward, the trio continued their journey to Cain's mansion, which would take a few more minutes since Eldoria was a large city.
Nix wasn't flying at his top speed as Cain wanted to observe the bustling activity within the city.
...
Meanwhile, in a huge mansion on the western side of Eldoria City, a handsome young man with long white hair, wearing a gorgeous white robe, sat leisurely, drinking tea while listening to a report from his subordinate.
"Interesting… How is the youngest still alive? Not to mention, he now has a powerful bodyguard with him. By the way, shouldn't the fifth brother be at his mansion right now?"
The young man smiled, surprised, and asked his subordinate, remembering that the fifth brother should be at the youngest's mansion.
"Yes, the fifth prince is at the youngest prince's mansion as we speak." The man, dressed all in black like a Japanese ninja, responded while kneeling.
"Hahaha… This is going to be interesting. Keep watching from afar and be careful, as the man with the youngest shouldn't be that simple." The young man tapped his fingers on his chair.
...
When the trio was nearly at the mansion, Cain pointed at a large estate 300 meters ahead, which made Dante open his eyes and frown because he sensed something was wrong with the place Cain was pointing to.
"My Lord, there seems to be trouble at the place you're pointing at." Dante informed Cain, eyeing the mansion 250 meters ahead.
"Ohhh? What happened?"
"There has been a battle there," Dante responded.
"Let's go there right away, Nix!" Cain ordered upon hearing this.
