Living In The Future ABO

Chapter 136 - Interlacing Paths (part.1)

In another place further away from the inn in front of several holographic screens that showed the same inn and what was happening in the private room, a tall man with dark eyes watched the scenes unfold silently.

"Boss, isn't it too risky to kill and kidnap someone in the daylight?" subordinate A asked. Behind the "boss" were five managers.

"We have more places like this, we just need to capture this person and extract information"

"However, this person seems to be some noble…" subordinate A said, insisting on the matter. It would be no joke if there was a nobleman's kidnapping in broad daylight.

"Even if he's noble, he shouldn't be of very high status…" the boss said not caring too much.

"I have the data here, according to our spy this person is part of the Amachi barony and is rising in rank after this mission" Subordinate B spoke sending the data to everyone via the wrist communicator.

"It's how I imagined it. Things will be complicated for a while, but we can still deal with that. How are the preparations?" the boss said calmly, clearly not caring about the Diablo Empire's intergalactic police.

The kidnapping of a low-status noble would cause some fanfare, but not enough for his organization to worry about being captured or hunted to the ends of the galaxy.

Of course, if he knew Roho's true identity, he wouldn't be so reassured nor would he try to be so bold in kidnapping or dare to kill him. After all, he would know that the man is the current emperor's uncle.

Fortunately, this boss is an ignoramus and could act calmly in this unexpected situation.

"The interfering items have already been placed, the inn system should go down at your signal boss... The fire will spread fast enough for everyone to panic... I also ordered the emergency exits to be blocked leaving only the free entry for everyone to flee in a herd" Subordinate C spoke, showing through the cameras the places where he had left the interference items and where the flames would be.

"What are you waiting for, capture the target!" the boss said seeing how his henchmen looked like stunned idiots staring at the door.

The henchmen awoke from their momentary daze and went back to attacking Roho and assistant Chisulo, only to receive a boring look from Duke Achebe. Only then did they feel a great mental power falling like heavy rocks on their minds, which left them disoriented for a few seconds.

Roho's mental power wasn't as strong as that of his younger sister Nehand, but it wasn't weak either.

The stun time was brief, but it was enough for the automatic door to the private room to open to reveal three figures in Mecha Armor.

"More enemies?" Assistant Chisulo thought nervously as he twisted the arm of one of the enemies stunned by Roho's power.

"Are they humans or elves?" Roho thought, seeing the Mecha armor different from the mecha armor worn by the Diablo zerg.

The person in the middle who looked like the leader wore mecha armor that was light green with silver, there was a lot of beauty and delicacy in the lines of the armor, there were some glowing runes that ran along the lines of the circuits of the mecha armor, which is quite common in the elven armor.

The two other warriors were already wearing mecha armor with silver and black with rougher lines and heavier weapons, while cosmic energy seemed to glow around them, which was very reminiscent of the way humans fought.

Unfortunately, the helmet of the Mecha armor blocked the view of the faces of the new intruders, Roho prepared to fight himself.

However, the new intruders were quicker and attacked the enemies, which brought relief to the Duke and his assistant.

The fight was brief and the enemies dropped like flies and soon silence settled in the environment, the new allies took off their helmets, surprising Roho by the youth of these fighters.

The masculine face, the exotic and attractive phoenix eyes, the beautiful grayish-blue irises shone as he stared into Roho's handsome face, there was curiosity and a slight concern in that look.

Roho was taken aback when faced by a young elf, but what caught his attention was the long black hair like crow's wings and the pale yellow skin of desert sand that seemed to glow in the sun.

Elves didn't have that kind of skin color, it was always pale white or healthy white skin, with the exception of Dark Elves who had dark skin, but most Elves were very light-skinned and rounder-eyed.

"Who are you?" Chisulo asked breaking the few seconds of silence. They could be allies, but that doesn't mean they couldn't suddenly become enemies.

However, before they could respond they heard panicked screams coming from various parts of the inn.

"Fire!"

"Emergency exits are closed!"

"Run... Fast could be a terrorist attack..."

"Everyone calm down and head to the entrance of the inn"

"Quick... Run... Ah! People with guns! Run!"

"Someone call the police!"

"Has anyone called the fire department yet?"

"Why doesn't the communication signal work?!"

Several voices echoed at the same time, so they also started to act and left the private room to observe what was happening, then they saw more people in black Mecha armor running towards them.

The sight was tremendously awesome, these new enemies came out into the fire and there were two or three bodies of staff lying on the ground with blood splattered everywhere.

"Second Prince, we have to meet with the others," one of the imperial guards told Mu Qiao. They were already doing something unnecessary and now things were escalating to something even more dangerous.

"There are interference items here, I can't contact leader Luan!" the other imperial guard trying to contact their leader via communicator, and not even assistant Liu received the messages either.

While the subordinates were agitated, Ruho and Mu Qiao exchanged probing glances, the noise seemed to have been silenced for them. Until the sound of quantum bullets sounded in the environment and brought them back to reality.

"Let's meet them," Mu Qiao told his guards, they were relieved that the second prince wasn't stubborn about wanting to mess with these troubled-looking people full of enemies.

However, the second prince Mu would not have been dubbed the God of Chaos if he had left those troubled people.

Roho's hand was captured by Mu Qiao and as quickly as the blink of an eye, he was pulled into the man's strong body, the fingers covered by the cold metal glove felt warm to the duke. The feeling was a little embarrassing and he felt his face heat up.

The Duke couldn't resist or act quickly, he was stunned by those exotic eyes and the scent of the man's pheromones seemed to envelop him like a thick and fierce snake that held him, in a few heartbeats he was taken like a princess and carried with a surprising speed, which caused the alarm of the imperial guards and the assistant Chisulo.

"The leader will kill us!" the imperial guard commented with a tired sigh, he threw a glowing device that released a cobweb-like net, which would slow the enemies down for a bit.

Chisulo and the imperial guards ran after Mu Qiao who was carrying Roho at an abnormal speed.

At Gyasi's palace, Mu Liang and Emery had met once more. It was already lunchtime and they were waiting for the table to be served when they were left alone.

"So, did everything go well yesterday?" Mu Liang asked drinking some juice from a love fruit. It is a fruit that has a strange "S" shape and reddish color, which had a sweet taste and was a little acidic.

"I'm going to be the empress…I can't believe I'm saying this," Emery said helplessly, as only now could he reflect on how big a decision he had made the night before.

"Congratulations! When will the engagement be?" Mu Liang happily congratulated. That was good news for him, as now he wouldn't have to worry about having the duties of this position. In addition, he and Gyasi could travel and explore other worlds thanks to Gyasi's work as Military General and commander of intergalactic expeditions.

"Not so soon... Mu Liang, yesterday they tried to kill Ade," Emery said suddenly, breaking the half-elf's quiet glee.

"How? When? Is the Emperor all right?" Mu Liang asked worriedly, but he thought Gyasi hadn't said anything about it, so the attempt must have failed.

"I captured the person who tried to kill him, but I haven't interrogated yet... I haven't told Ade, I don't want him to get even more worried or paranoid... I don't have people to help me, could you help me to interrogate that person?"

"Wouldn't it be better to hand over to the competent authorities?" Mu Liang asked doubtfully, after all, it wouldn't be worse if they messed with that kind of thing. Mainly, Emery was already frowned upon by the people of the emperor's palace.
