Chapter 394: The City Underwent a Huge Change and Returned in Time

On the ruins of Hell’s Rose, Andre had successfully confirmed his identity to the soldiers. At the same time, he was tempted to announce to everyone that as long as they pledged their loyalty to Gajero, they would have a chance to become a member of the Demon Race like him.

However, at that moment, all the soldiers of Devil Flame City were not very interested in Andre’s speech. Some of them had lowered their heads in silence and were no longer listening to Andre.

This was because other than a few fanatical believers, most of the Dark Elves were more concerned about their identity and bloodline. Not all elves would abandon their origins in order to pursue great power. Therefore, they did not dare to agree with Andre’s actions at this time.

However, due to his identity as the City Lord, they did not dare to stand out and oppose him so they just remained silent!

Andre naturally knew what the soldiers were thinking. Therefore, in his original plan, he wanted to wait until the entire Elf World had begun to collapse before activating his demonized form to evolve into a demon. At that time, he would not have to care about the change in the mentality of the soldiers!

However, Andre had no choice but to become a demon given the circumstances. He could only choose to temporarily stabilize the soldiers under him and think of a way to speed up the mission. He was going to drain every drop of the Origin Divine Earth and destroy Elf World. After that, he would head to the world of demons and start his new life.

Andre looked around and said in a deep voice, “From now on, the entire city is under martial law! Inform all the generals to double the number of patrols every day. Don’t let go of any suspicious traces! Also, go and summon Dave back from the mansion outside the city!”

“Yes!”

The soldiers replied in unison. Although they were dissatisfied with Andre, they still carried out his orders.

The supervisors of Hell’s Rose who were guarding outside the ruins looked at each other blankly. Their long-established business had been destroyed just like that, and the City Lord who had evolved into a demon did not seem to want to explain anything to them. As they rarely appeared above ground, they felt a bit embarrassed.

Andre turned around and looked at the supervisors of Hell’s Rose who were standing on the side. He sneered and said, “You traitors of Devil Flame City have been working with Myron. Today, I will catch all of you!”

All the supervisors were stunned when they heard that. They only knew the appearance of the boss behind them, but they did not know the real identity of the boss. When they heard Andre’s words filled with killing intent, they immediately thought that Andre did not want to compensate them for their losses. Instead, he had labeled them as traitors!

“City Lord, our business has always been under the control of Devil Flame City. We have never done anything against the rules. Please don’t randomly accuse us! Now that Hell’s Rose has been destroyed, our losses are immeasurable. Please don’t run away from your responsibility. You should know that although we are businessmen, we are not without backers!”

Several supervisors warned Andre in a deep voice, their attitude was very firm.

Andre immediately sneered, “Isn’t your backer the traitor Myron? Your boss has just been killed by me! Hell’s Rose is the stronghold that he has always wanted to take revenge on in Devil Flame City and you guys are his henchmen. If I want to kill you, do I need to find other charges for you?”

All the supervisors were stunned on the spot because they suddenly realized that the boss behind Hell’s Rose was actually City Lord Myron who was defeated twenty years ago!

This was indeed a very shocking piece of news to them!

“Impossible, how could the boss be the City Lord Myron? Didn’t he die twenty years ago?”

“We don’t even know what the boss’s name is. The only one who is close to the boss is the auctioneer. Where is the auctioneer?”

The supervisors were just about to defend themselves when they suddenly realized that the auctioneer who should have stood up and spoken the most had disappeared. Only then did they realize that there were only seven of them at this time. The auctioneer who had the best relationship with the boss had disappeared. The director of the fifth floor, Catherine, who had the closest relationship with His Highness Dave was also not around.

Even though Dave had been hiding it from the outside world, the supervisors of Hell’s Rose knew clearly in their hearts that Catherine’s relationship with His Highness Dave was definitely not ordinary!

If Catherine was present at that moment, perhaps she could have interceded with the City Lord. If the auctioneer was still present, he could explain to everyone what they did not understand. However, both of them were not present. The remaining supervisors felt a strong sense of crisis from the bottom of their hearts.

The supervisors that had strong backgrounds and backing had disappeared without a trace. It seems that the remaining supervisors have all become scapegoats.

After hearing what they said, Andre concluded that these supervisors did not actually know of Myron’s true identity. However, even if Hell’s Rose was destroyed, this bunch of supervisors still had a large number of resources in their hands. Therefore, he would not let them off so easily. He wanted to hold them firmly in his hands. Controlling these individuals was equivalent to taking over the businesses of Hell’s Rose in disguise!

Andre said in a deep voice, “I’m giving you a chance to atone for your sins. I will give each of you a team of soldiers. You must find the whereabouts of the auctioneer under the watchful eyes of the soldiers!”

The seven of them had no other way to deal with the matter. They could only agree helplessly to Andre’s request. They turned around and walked around the city under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, aimlessly looking for traces of the auctioneer.

At the same time, the news of City Lord Andre destroying Hell’s Rose and him successfully evolving into a demon had spread throughout the entire Devil Flame City. All the Dark Elves living in Devil Flame City were talking about it. They did not know what kind of impact the City Lord could create after turning from a Dark Elf to a demon!

On the contrary, the temple forces that had always been enemies with the City Lord chose to surrender and allowed City Lord Andre to become the sole ruler of Devil Flame City after finding out that he had become a demon. They were also agreeable to this as they had lost the High Priest.

After Andre returned to the City Lord’s mansion, the streets and alleys of Devil Flame City once again returned to peace. An invisible space tunnel slowly rose from the ruins of Hell’s Rose.

Vincent stood in the space tunnel and looked at Hell’s Rose that had already become one with the earth. He sighed softly.

It seemed that Myron was unable to escape Andre’s evil hands in the end, and the fact that Devil Flame City was so quiet meant that Andre had returned safely!

After thinking about this, Vincent suddenly realized that Andre would definitely summon Dave who was outside the city. At the same time, he would also summon him to return because he was the City Patrol Officer. At that moment, the individual who went to summon him might have already arrived at the mansion outside the city. If he did not return in time, he would probably be exposed!

Fortunately, Vincent had already mastered a brand-new method and achieved a new understanding. He constantly changed his position in the space tunnel and rushed out of the city in the form of a flash.

Although the use of modification authority inside the space tunnel was very taxing on psionic power, the psionic power in Vincent’s body was endless at the moment. He did not care about the consumption at all and quickly arrived at the riverside mansion.

The 300 soldiers who were guarding outside the mansion were preparing to leave the camp. Meanwhile, Dave, who had rushed back to the mansion, was standing at the entrance of the mansion. His expression was ugly as he negotiated with the messenger in front of him. It seemed that he was stalling for time for Vincent to return.

Vincent did not dare to hesitate anymore after seeing this and quickly returned to the mansion.

Catherine was standing in the courtyard with a worried look on her face. Monica, who was beside her, was like an ant on a hot pot, constantly pacing back and forth on the spot.

Monica clasped her hands together and kept muttering, “God bless! God bless! Vincent, hurry up and come back!”

Catherine suddenly raised her head and asked curiously, “If you want to pray, shouldn’t you chant the name of Gajero?”

In her panic, Monica stopped and turned to look at Catherine. She said with some embarrassment, “I promised Vincent that I would no longer believe in Gajero. Instead, I would believe in him! So there’s no point in praying to Gajero now!”

Catherine was shocked and curious at the same time. She did not expect Vincent’s ambition to be so great that he dared to compete with Gajero and fight for the faith of the elves.

At the same time, what made Catherine curious was how Monica could be so obedient. She really did not believe in Gajero and dared to believe in Vincent!

Catherine reminded Monica softly, “If you really believe in Vincent, then you should firmly believe that Vincent will not be in danger at any time. He will definitely be able to rush back at the critical moment, isn’t that right?”

Upon hearing that, Monica nodded in realization and sighed, “Right, right, right! Vincent is omnipotent. Why am I worried about him? He will definitely be able to rush back. Who knows, he might appear in front of me in the next second!”

After hearing those words in the space tunnel, Vincent could not help but smile. He then opened the space door and walked directly in front of Monica.

“You, you, you. You really came back?”

Monica looked at Vincent with excitement and exclaimed while dancing.

“Vincent, you…”

Catherine also looked at Vincent with surprise. She did not expect Vincent to appear in such an exaggerated manner. This had completely surpassed the means that the Dark Elves could possess!

At the same time, Catherine also thought that since Dave had become a blasphemer, then the one who had brought Dave on this path must also be Vincent who was in front of her!

Vincent smiled and nodded to Monica. He then turned to look at Catherine and said, “Lady Catherine, how are my friends?”

Catherine knew that Vincent was asking about Ebenezer and the others, so she said, “They have already left the mansion and rushed to the Tias Mountains! Now, there are only me, Monica, and Rooney in the mansion!”

Vincent nodded and said, “Then for the next few days, you and Monica will continue to live in the mansion!”

Catherine was slightly shocked and asked, “Me? Then what about the business at Hell’s Rose?”

Vincent shook his head and said, “There is no Hell’s Rose anymore! Your boss, Myron, has already been killed by the City Lord, Andre. I believe that all the supervisors of Hell’s Rose have already become the target of his suppression. You should stay here temporarily. Dave and I will help you to deal with the matters back in the city. It should be able to ensure your safety!”

“What?”

Catherine looked at Vincent in shock. Her eyes were filled with fear.

Hell’s Rose had been operating in Devil Flame City for so long. Even if they encountered great danger, they would still be able to survive. However, they were wiped out in one night!

Vincent listened to the increasingly noisy voices outside the door and said softly, “I don’t have time to tell you the details of what happened. I will tell you in detail when I have the opportunity in the future. Now, you can stay here in peace. I’m going back with His Highness, Dave!”

After saying that, Vincent tidied his clothes and used modification authority to transform the Return Journey of the Dead into a short magic staff. He then strode to the gate of the mansion and opened it.

At this time, Dave was arguing with the messenger who came to recruit him.

“His Highness Dave, the City Lord has ordered you to return to Devil Flame City immediately, including the City Patrol Officer who should have stayed in the city, Lord Vincent!” said the messenger seriously.

Dave frowned and replied in an even more serious manner, “I don’t care whose order it is. In short, it is already late. Even if we set off now, it will be dark by the time we reach Devil Flame City. What’s the big deal if we are a little late? Moreover, Vincent had come out of the city to recuperate. His injuries have not healed, so it would be impossible for him to set off immediately. You should wait a little longer!”

The messenger looked at His Highness Dave, whose attitude was so unyielding. He said with great difficulty, “Your Highness, the City Lord’s orders cannot be delayed. I am also acting according to his orders. I believe that even if you disobey the City Lord’s orders, you will definitely be punished. Please hurry back with me!”

Dave’s expression was gloomy as he looked at the messenger in front of him. He knew that if he continued to persevere, he would break the image of a playboy that he had created in the past. However, at that moment, he had no other way, he had to delay time for Vincent’s return.

Just as Dave was in a dilemma, the courtyard door behind him suddenly opened. At the same time, he heard a voice that made him look forward to it.

Vincent walked out of the courtyard and came to Dave’s side as he said with a smile, “Your Highness, my injuries are almost healed! Since the City Lord wants us to return, let’s set off immediately!”

Dave turned to look at Vincent and finally revealed a smile. He nodded and said, “If that’s the case, then let’s set off!”

The messenger looked at His Highness Dave, who had been unyielding just a moment ago, and let out a sigh of relief. His face was filled with confusion as he stood rooted to the ground.

After Dave turned his head, he no longer looked at the messenger in front of him. Instead, he shouted to the 300 city guards in the distance, “Everyone, quickly form up. We have to rush back to Devil Flame City overnight!”

“Yes!”

When the soldiers saw that His Highness Dave and Vincent were ready to leave, they could not help but speed up their packing. They quickly packed up and returned to the city in their usual formation.

On the way back to the city, Vincent and Dave rode on the Black Hole monsters. They were riding side by side ahead of everyone.

When Vincent lowered his voice and told Dave about what happened in Hell’s Rose, Dave’s face turned pale. He was dumbstruck.

“Are you saying that my father is no longer a Dark Elf and that he has completely become a demon?”

Vincent nodded and said, “Yes!”

Dave took a deep breath and sighed, “My father has been sending the Origin Divine Earth to the Demon Race all these years, and his original mission was to destroy the entire Elf World?”

Vincent nodded again and said, “Yes!”

Dave looked straight ahead, he sighed with some grief and indignation, “You only heard about my father’s secret. Within the entire Dark Elves Race, there are eleven individuals who are just like my father. They are known as the twelve apostles closest to God Gajero. In other words, they have probably contributed the same way as my father. The world under our feet is slowly being destroyed by the group of traitors led by the twelve of them. The world has been shattered!”

Vincent sighed softly and said, “Yes! I was fortunate enough to sneak into the lowest level of the abyss. I saw that the Origin Divine Earth flowing there had already begun to dry up. If it were to be seized by Andre in this manner, I believe that within a year, the Origin Divine Earth beneath Devil Flame City would be completely emptied! Even if the Origin Divine Earth still exists, it would not be able to satisfy Andre’s insatiable exploitation!”

Dave took a deep breath and sighed softly, “Back then, when I was corroded by the aura of the Demon World, my heart was extremely dark. I wanted to kill my father wholeheartedly. But now, I’ve already escaped the control of the aura of the Demon World. I only want to persuade him to turn back, but it seems like I am too late. He has done too many unforgivable things to Elf World! If it’s possible, can you bring me to see the underground river of the Origin Divine Earth? I want to see it with my own eyes. That’s the only way I can convince myself to once again summon the courage to draw my sword at him!”

Vincent thought for a moment and said, “Now that Hell’s Rose has been destroyed and Andre has lost the way to collect the Origin Divine Earth, I believe that he must be looking for other ways to collect the Origin Divine Earth. As long as we pay attention to his movements, we will definitely be able to find evidence of him destroying the Elf World again!”

Dave nodded with a determined gaze and said, “Then inform Horace and the others to make preparations in advance. As long as we can find evidence that my father has stolen the Origin Divine Earth from the Elf Race again, we will take action immediately. We absolutely cannot let the Elf World suffer any more destruction!”

Vincent turned to look at Dave, who was in a dilemma and said somewhat reluctantly, “Actually, just leave these things to me. You still have more important things to do!”

Dave turned to look at Vincent and asked blankly, “More important things?”

Vincent nodded and said leisurely, “After you go back this time, you should try to participate in the government affairs of Devil Flame City. You should also make preparations to take over Devil Flame City in advance. Try your best to make sure that the change of the City Lord position will not cause any disturbances. After all, a Devil Flame City that is in chaos will not be a sanctuary for the elves. If you can do this, you have already made a great contribution to the elves! As for Andre, leave it to me, Horace, and the rest of us!”

Dave could not help but sigh, “That’s right! Father has accumulated many enemies over the years, why do I have to do it myself? I just hope that, if possible, I can personally persuade him. If he can turn back in time, it would be a good thing for us, right?”

Vincent nodded his head noncommittally. If he could make one of the twelve apostles, Andre, turn around, it would naturally have a great impact on the rule of the Demon Race.

However, Vincent did not have any hopes for this, but he still had to leave some hope for Dave!
