Panlong, I started with the main godhead.

Chapter 28: Robbery and murder outside the imperial capital
Seeing Matthews exuding the aura of a seventh-level warrior, Kelly quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"nothing!"

Seeing the soldiers surrounding him on alert, Matthew looked at Kelly again.Knowing that now is not the time to care about these things, he is not yet strong enough to thoroughly investigate that matter.

After all, although the emperor of the empire is not a sanctuary, this is the headquarters of the Four Divine Beast Sect.This also means that there are many sanctuaries here, and there are also many ninth-level warriors.

As a seventh-level warrior, he still can't stir up much trouble. The slave trading force that can exist here safely must have more powerful warriors.

"What do you mean?"

Kelly saw soldiers from the slave trading forces surrounding her, and walked up to Matthews.He said to these people: "I am from the Bernard family. It was my friend who accidentally exuded fighting spirit just now."

Matthews also stepped forward and patted Kelly on the shoulder, giving her a reassuring look.Then he smiled and said to the slave trader: "I just realized something and revealed my secret."

"Hahaha, it's okay. It turns out to be Miss Kelly of the Bernard family and her friends!"

A person in charge walked forward with a smile and asked the soldiers to put away their weapons!
"I wonder if Miss Kelly is here this time?"

Seeing that the person in charge here ignored him, Matthews was not annoyed and said with a smile: "I originally planned to choose a few slaves, but now I have just realized it. I am anxious to go back to consolidate my realm and come back next time."

After Matthews finished speaking, he took Kelly and left. After Matthews left.The person in charge here ordered to the men next to him: "Go and find out the details of the people around the eldest daughter of the Kelly family."

After coming out of the slave shop, Kelly asked seriously: "What happened to you just now?"

Matthews looked at her serious expression, sighed and said: "When I came to the Divine Beast Empire, I was drugged and sold to this slave force. I was later rescued and escaped from them!"

"That's it!"

Seeing that Kelly didn't ask any more questions, Matthews didn't say anything more.

"I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back first!"

"Row!"

After parting ways with Kelly, Matthews didn't have time to carefully observe the changes in her expression.Now all he can think about is finding the mercenary group or slave traders who took him away.

Mia took the portrait that Matthews drew for her and some of Matthews' drawings and went to her school.After showing it to her best friends, they could not resist the temptation and sent these paintings to the Imperial Art Museum for exhibition.

The artist Mathews' fame was spreading without him even knowing it.Now Matthews does not have any power in the imperial capital, so naturally there is no news about these slave forces.

That day, Matthews was absorbing fighting energy in the yard when he saw Mia running in happily.He said to Matthews with a mysterious face: "Brother, what do you think I brought you?"

"You are in school, what else can you bring to me?"

Mia looked like she was offering a treasure, and handed Matthews a gold card with both hands.

"Brother, how much do you think it is?"

Mathews asked in confusion: "Have you made money?"

"No, I sold your painting. It's fifty thousand gold coins!"

"That's the portrait I drew for you. Why are you willing to buy it? You hurt my brother's heart so much!"

Matthews said as he was about to grab the gold card, but Mia quickly put it away.Then he said: "No, I bought some other paintings." "No, then shouldn't you give me the money?"

"never!"

Mia then told how she sent Matthews's paintings to the Imperial Art Museum for exhibition through her roommate, and finally the art museum valued Matthews' unique art.She asked the art gallery to auction Matthews's painting!
"Don't do that next time!"

Mia looked at her brother in disbelief, and then asked in confusion: "Why! Isn't it bad to be famous and rich?"

Matthews sighed in his heart, the little girl is only a teenager now.It is when vanity is at its strongest, and at this age, people always like to compare.The people in their dormitory may have a lot of bragging rights, but she only has one brother who is pretty good.

Matthews touched her head and said: "You can hold the gold coins and flowers. Your age is the best time to practice. I don't want you to waste too much experience in other aspects."

"But, I am among the top few in our college!"

Matthews shook his head and continued: "This is not how magic is compared. Ranking is of no use. Strength is the foundation!"

"But--"

"It's nothing but, just think about the hard days we spent by the river! I'm going out to practice for a while, so don't slack off in your practice."

Seeing that Mia was silent, Matthews said nothing more.He now admits that he has slacked off in his practice during this period, so he plans to go to the river where he met Asolon last time to practice.

"Let's go, Assolan!"

"Okay, boss!"

Asolun jumped out from the shade of the trees in the yard and wrapped his arms around Matthews out of habit.When Matthews was dating before, considering that girls might not like snake-like monsters, he asked Asolun to stay at home.

He came to the place where he and Kelly often met before, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Kelly.Matthews hid a secret message and told him that he would go out of the city to practice for a while.

Just as Matthews left the city gate, the person in charge of the slave shop received a report from his men: "Chief, the target has left the city."

"understood!"

Matthews left the imperial capital and walked along the road. Asolun sensed it for a moment and said: "Boss, someone is following us."

Matthews's electromagnetic wave induction was opened, and he could clearly sense the two soldiers following them.No matter what the situation is, he didn't offend anyone in the imperial capital. Why would someone follow them now?

When they were ten miles away from the imperial capital, the two seventh-level warriors suddenly accelerated to catch up with Matthews.

Matthews looked at their badges and understood why.These two people were obviously slave traders. Apart from showing off his vindictiveness in their shop some time ago, he had never shown any other hostility.

"What do you mean!"

"Boy, you shouldn't show hostility in our territory!"

Matthews frowned and asked, "This is the imperial capital!"

A soldier next to him said impatiently: "What nonsense are you talking to him about? Kill him quickly so we can go back and do business."

As he said that, he rushed forward with a knife, and Matthews was entangled with him when he drew the knife.The other soldier didn't choose to wait and see, and rushed over with a grab.Just when Matthews used his shadow to parry the first warrior's slash, the second warrior's spear pierced him!
