“Everyone, wait here! Do not simply walk around; the royal army will have to check you.”
Darryl had only cultivated for a short while when he heard commotions from the streets. Sounds of unison marching steps followed it—it was hectic. Instantly, the once-bustling streets were suddenly in utter silence.
Gasp!
Darryl frowned and looked out the window. Then, he gasped.
The streets were full of soldiers. It seemed like the entire Royal City was in lockdown. The people on the streets were stopped and subjected to cross-examination.
Darryl had a bad feeling when he saw that.
‘Damn it. The Emperor must have found out that Yvette had snuck out of the palace, so he sent the royal army and locked down the city to search for her.’
Darryl noticed that the soldiers did not only check the people on the streets but also looked at the shops.
‘F*ck!’
It seemed like the soldiers would soon check on the inn. What should he do?
At that moment, Darryl wanted to leave and find a place to hide. After all, he had caused a massive commotion at Royal City previously. He was the Emperor’s wanted criminal.
However, if he were to leave, how would Yvette be able to find him?
Bang!
Just as Darryl felt conflicted and in a panic, the door to his room was suddenly kicked open. Then, a tall general in armor led a team of soldiers into his room.
The general’s name was Cesar Howell; he was the Royal Army’s Deputy Commander, and he’s a level five Martial Saint.
Darryl had guessed correctly—the royal army had placed the Royal City on lockdown and checked everywhere for Yvette.
That morning, when the New World Emperor summoned Yvette, he noticed that she was already gone. He was furious and immediately ordered Cesar to put the entire city on lockdown and to find Yvette no matter what.
At that moment, Cesar walked into the room and quickly scanned around. He waved his hands and said, “Let’s go. We’ll check out the next room!”
