Chapter 632 The Grandmaster's Caution



Chapter 632  The Grandmaster's Caution

They were ready. Have you ever seen so many grown men crowded in a single bedroom like medieval elders watching a Queen give birth.

[I say… Is that the head of a boy?]

[Not a chance… Tis' a female.]

Well, that must be how their inputs must have sounded when crowded in the same space watching a woman give birth. Of course it was necessary for them, in case someone was thinking of switching a phoenix for a chicken.

Well, all 30 men and women crowded about, some standing, some levitating and some seated in wait for departure.

For this Horseman of Death, they took their sweet time preparing, before the big day. After all, no matter how powerful they were now, the least slip-up from their end could result in failure. Killing the Horseman was one thing, but ensuring the other creatures didn't know they did it, was another thing. Soon, the grandmaster stepped into the room, waved his hand, and opened the portal's door. This was the Portal in his bedroom. Only he could use this portal. No matter how many times they see it, the portal in the Grandmaster's bedroom was the most potent and exquisite. Dorian turned to face them. Although he didn't like talking much, he still spoke to them whenever he could. "Tonight, we have just one chance…" Dorian paused, taking the key out. "Once it's used, they'll know."

That's why they must act fast and take the Horseman out. With that, Dorian led the way in. Typically, the Grandmaster would never show any concern, having absolute confidence. However, it seemed that their dear Beeezlebub liked this particular horseman,giving her the 2nd half of the Key. Both Keys open a small world for her. She held one key, and the spare was with the creature Dorian retrieved it from.

Remember that these Horsemen aren't per say underworld creatures. They already have borrowed powers and fates of Apocalyptic promises. So they can't create small worlds of their own. They need an underworld creature to give them those births.

Understand that Beelzebub breathed life into her when signing a demonic contract with her human soul. Her soul, though tarnished, still had human traces, and will forever have parts of humanity stretched on it.

That's why she can never go to the underworld, even if she wanted to follow Beelzebub in. No matter how she convinced herself she was different, the human traces lining her existence were still very evident.

Thus, some things can never be done by herself alone. And it seems that unlike the first Horseman, Beelzebub was confident she would never think of betraying him or running away. So he gave her way more perks than the first Lovesrruck Horseman. Thus, some things can never be done by herself alone. And it seems that unlike the first Horseman, Beelzebub was confident she would never think of betraying him or running away. So he gave her way more perks than the first Lovesrruck Horseman. Look… She even had a small world of her own that she could control, entering and exiting, trapping and consuming as many humans there as possible. Only she had the keys to going in and out. Well, there was indeed a spare key for her, but what creature would ever dare going against Beelebub?

After Dorian's words, everyone more or less understood why the Grandmaster wanted today's operations to be precise. With the spare Key the Grandmaster got, they will be able to head into the hidden world and chase after the Horseman if she flees into space once she is cornered. However, they must kill her before she activates a protective barrier within the space. From the grandmaster's guess, it seems Beelzebub gave her a truly safe place there.

Only she might be able to activate the space's defenses. And once activated, Beelzebbub, no matter how far away he was, would get a hunt of something amis.. The last thing they wanted was for Beelzebub to come earlier than planned and attack them all, or even rush the upcoming war forward. NO!

They couldn't afford that now. Even the Grandmaster had made them know that Beelzebub still overpowered him now. So this was definitely not the time for screw ups! Normally, the Grandmaster didn't care about exposure. But when it concerned this situation, the Grandmaster who hated to lose, was not willing to let all his planning result in failure. "I trust, you all understand."

Everyone nodded like dummies. And as they walked through the swirling vortex, they felt their palms grew sweatier, chills now running down their spines endlessly. Oh My God!

This isn't their first rodeo now. So why were they suddenly sweating buckets? ('0')

Looking, left, looking right, looking up, looking down, they found no human or enemy in sight… Just forestry staring them back in the face.

Looking at each other tactfully, everyone leaped through the woods, jumping from tree branch to tree branch, skipping over 5~12 tree branches when jumping. It's just that their jumps were so fast, like supersonic speed. Soon, they saw signs of human habitation, rushing through the roads with focused minds. Despite all the chaos and destruction around them, they pried their eyes away, not daring to stop for a second. Those from Vardos, were especially biting their lips, cursing that wretched Horsewoman of Death with all their hearts. Boom!

Grenades went off in an area not too far from them, and several firecrackers also exploded in the distance too. Dammit! They wished they could grab all these people and shake them to death. 'You FOOLS! Don't you see how much rumble is around you?'

'Do you know how much money it will take to repair the country as a whole now?'

'When the real war begins, where will you all hide if you destroy everything you've got now?'

Oh My God, just pluck their eyes now!

The more they watched, the more they secretly threw small stones on some troublemakers, putting them to bed in an instant.

'Camilla Jones, you must Die tonight!'

~Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom!

The streets were rowdy.

The air was so thick with anticipation, that even the world around them already looked to be in apocalyptic flames in the eyes of these Academy people. How pitiful. "HEE-HAHH!"

"Die, ya Maggots!"

"DIE for me!"

BRMMMMM~

Motorcycles roared past, with their riders adorned in leather and chains, while gangs of all sorts gathered. Soon, they saw a face they were all familiar with. "Elder Hou, is this the place?"

Old Hou nodded, "Positive. She's here. And, she'll be making quite a grand appearance tonight… One to die for, as she claims."

Oh?

Several people raised their eyes thoughtfully, turning to look at the lone inconspicuous building that unlike the rest, still stood tall without any signs of destruction on its exterior. [Hotel CrossCamilla]

The Hotel stood at the center of the chaos, yet had remained as beautiful as a blooming flower. The irony was incredulous. It was an imposing structure with an inviting but imposing elegance that loomed over the street like a watchful sentinel. Interesting… Its facade was adorned with intricate carvings of creatures and gargoyles that seemed almost alive under the flickering streetlights. It was almost, as if these stone statues were watching them.

Almost?

Sorry… scratch that. They were definitely watching everything happening all around them.

"Come on in, Amigos! It's almost time for the lady to make her breathtaking appearance!"

"Ayyy… What I wouldn't give just to have a day to do nothing but stare… I'll need another 10 days of preparation and good booze to do the next thing, if you know what i mean."

"Pfft~... You're a real man, bro. I need a year to prepare before spending the night with such a stunning woman."

"But hey, did you hear? Tonight, she will be picking one man to spend the night with… I also heard, it might be a woman instead."

"Dammit! How can a mere woman compete with me for my damsel? Listen here boys, she's mine tonight!" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Well, several men had already begun fighting for the mysterious woman's attention, as the grand doors now opened. Wow!

Talk about a gathering. Outside, there were over 10,000 people crowding to enter. However, as promised, only the first 200 people can enter for the grand performance. As expected, Dorian and his group stepped in among the 200.

"BOOOOOOOOO!!" The jeering was loud.

Then. fighting started again. Several were so angry about their lost chances that they wished to massacre the entire now for their bad fate. But as the battle continued outdoors, those stepping in only raised their chests higher after the thick double-sided gate-like doors closed. (^v^)

"I feel like I've won a million bucks! Speaking of money, I should really go rob a bank to fill my pockets. I wonder if the bank on Main street is still intact?"

"This is good… This place looks really expensive. Tsk. It suits my appetite nicely."

How stunning.

Inside, the hotel was a labyrinth of opulence and decadence. There were crystal chandeliers hanging from vaulted ceilings, casting shimmering light across marble floors. Tonight was special—a night they all swore to remember.

The staff moved with an unnatural grace, their eyes glinting with a predatory gleam. "Please sirs, ladies… take your seats. Tonight, the meals, beverages, and entertainment are all free."
