Chapter 322
Gavin had already emerged in one of the corners of a vibrant and bustling street. Not far away,
diagonally across the street, stood the bar of the Provence Hotel.
In fact, Gavin was the first to reach this bar owned by Cruto.
At the same time, Harry and Rose arrived in front of Gavin.
Both of them gazed at Gavin, who was on one knee, and lowered their heads in
response.
“Greetings, Dark Lord!” they exclaimed in unison.
Gavin gazed upon the opulent Provence Hotel before him. The neon lights at night added to its air of
mystique.
Earlier, Rose and Harry were not by Gavin’s side. In truth, they had already infiltrated the Northguard
Imperial Residence to discreetly observe him.
Nonetheless, due to Rose’s relatively lower strength, he had been monitoring the Northguard Army’s
activities from the outskirts. Meanwhile, Harry had concealed himself within the Northguard Imperial
Residence.
Harry had also overheard the conspiracy involving the King of Northguard and his subordinates.
Therefore, as soon as Harry received the news, he promptly informed Gavin and even disclosed the
details of the conspiracy between the King of Northguard and his subordinates.
While he was at the Northguard Imperial Residence, Harry even inquired whether he should eliminate
the King of Northguard.
Gavin refrained from taking any unnecessary actions. He considered that the King of Northguard might
prove to be valuable in the future.
Coupled with his concerns for Layla and Zoe’s safety, he promptly departed from the Northguard
Imperial Residènce.
However, Gavin’s strategy was sound.
The King of Northguard had a sizable entourage, making it indeed more convenient for him to conduct
investigations.
Hence, Gavin and Harry promptly departed from the Northguard Imperial Residence.
Rose, who had been waiting outside, had already tracked the Northguard Army’s investigation and
reached this bar.
The three of them convened outside the bar.
In this moment, Gavin furrowed his brow and directed his finger toward the bar. “Is this the place they
mentioned?” Gavin inquired.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHarry nodded in response to the Dark Lord’s inquiry.
“Yes, Dark Lord!” Harry affirmed.
Then, Rose turned to the Dark Lord.
“Dark Lord, we’ve conducted an investigation. According to the information we gathered, two young
ladies matching the descriptions of Zoe and Layla entered the premises today!” Rose reported.
Upon hearing this, Gavin furrowed his brow. He was well aware of the nature of this establishment.
This place was commonly referred to as “paradise.” Here, beautiful women were treated as readily
available commodities with clearly defined prices and frequent
turnover.
It was also a place where those despicable men could release their pent-up emptiness and loneliness.
He thought to himself, ‘Those wretched individuals from the Barry family actually took my fiancée and
sister to such a place?’
Dragons possessed reverse scales. Anyone who touched them would suffer harm!
Ever since Gavin returned to Brookspring, his family had become the most important people in his life.
He would never allow anyone to harm his family!
At this moment, Gavin was consumed by anger, his fists clenched tightly.
Rose observed the people coming in and out of the Provence Hotel and couldn’t help but remark.
“Dark Lord, the Provence Hotel is under the control of Cruto. What course of action should we take?”
Gavin gazed at the bar in the distance and replied.
“What should we do? The ground beneath us belongs to Blearus!” Gavin remarked.
‘A Cruto wants to act outrageously in Blearus? They should examine their own. behavior first. A Cruto
wants to encroach upon our territory in Blearus? They must be weary of their existence. Do they truly
not know they’re insignificant?’ Gavin scoffed.
After uttering these words, Gavin marched directly toward the bar at the Provence Hotel.
Harry and Rose exchanged glances and then followed Gavin.
Upon entering the bar, a waiter in a Cruto uniform approached them. First, he spoke in a foreign tongue
that they didn’t comprehend, and then he greeted. Gavin and the others in Blearus.
“Welcome, Sir and Madam. Would you prefer to reserve a standard room or a
premium one?” the waiter inquired.
Gavin fixed a cold gaze on the waiter in front of him and replied.
“Bring your manager here,” Gavin demanded icily,
Upon hearing this, the waiter raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of surprise.
His years of experience had sharpened his ability to assess individuals.
With just a quick glance, he could discern that these three individuals were not to be taken lightly.
Nevertheless, he maintained a smile and said.
“Please wait a moment.”
He then turned around and headed to a different corner. Retrieving his walkie-talkie, he spoke into it,
conveying a message.
A man dressed in a black robe emerged slowly.
This man was evidently of Cruto origin. While everyone had a similar complexion, his artificially
feminine facial features stood out distinctly.
The man approached and greeted Gavin and the others with a smile. He even spoke in Blearus.
“Sir, Madam, I am the lobby manager of this establishment. If you have any requests or concerns,
please don’t hesitate to inform me,” he said politely.
“How may I assist you?” he inquired politely.
Gavin understood that the lobby manager was certainly not the person in charge of the bar.
Gavin, not seeking his assistance.
“Summon your boss,” Gavin demanded sternly.
The lobby manager, like the waiter before him, assessed Gavin and experienced a similar sense of
unease.
He thought, ‘These individuals meant business. They are undoubtedly here to stir up trouble. Of
course, we had picked up on this from our experiences in Blearus. Now that the ceremony is
concluded, they shouldn’t blame me!’
The smile vanished from the lobby manager’s face. As he looked at Gavin before him, his tone turned
haughty, and he uttered incoherent words in Blearus.
“What’s the matter? Are you attempting to provoke an incident? “Somebody forgot to zip up your
trousers,” he retorted in a mocking tone.
“Do you even comprehend the nature of this establishment?! This is the bar of Cruto. We cannot permit
you to create chaos here!
“How dare a little pest like you stir up trouble in our territory? I believe you’ve got a…” he began, but his
words were laced with profanity and were offensive.
While the lobby manager’s choice of words in Blearus was far from polite, he did exhibit a considerable
knowledge of lyrics.
Nevertheless, it was regrettable.
Before the lobby manager could complete his sentence.
“Bang!” A muted sound reverberated.
The head of the lobby manager, who had been snarling at Gavin, suddenly exploded into a spray of
blood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis abrupt turn of events left everyone stunned, but after a momentary daze, it became clear what had
occurred.
Everyone in the hall turned pale with fear and let out horrified screams.
“Ah!”
“He’s been killed!” someone shouted in alarm.
“Help!”
The lobby of the bar descended into immediate chaos.
Amidst the tumultuous hall, Gavin’s voice remained crisp and icy.
“Bring your manager here!” Gavin demanded once more.
At that moment, a group of Cruto individuals suddenly surged forth from the crowd.
These individuals were evidently the security personnel of the bar. Upon witnessing the lifeless bodies
of their comrades on the floor, they fixed their hostile gaze on Gavin.
“Where the hell did you come from? How dare you cause a disturbance in Cruto’s territory?” one of the
security guards shouted angrily, using offensive language.
“He’s asking for death!” another security guard exclaimed.
“Don’t even dream of walking out of here alive today. Attack!” a security guard yelled, signaling for
action.
Gavin struggled to comprehend the incomprehensible words spoken in Blearus, causing a growing
headache. It was incredibly frustrating and unpleasant.
As he observed the approaching group, they all appeared menacing and determined.
Gavin’s eyes remained devoid of emotion.
At that instant, Harry and Rose took a step forward and glanced at Gavin, seemingly seeking his
guidance.
Gavin remained motionless. Harry and Rose had already grasped the situation and what was expected
of them.
They exchanged glances and nodded in unison. Their eyes held no trace of sympathy.
་ ་
In an instant, the two of them vanished from Gavin’s side.
“Ugh!”
“Pfft!”
“Ghost! There’s a ghost!”
A series of screams erupted abruptly. The dozen or so individuals who had charged forward instantly
transformed into lifeless bodies!
In the very next moment, Gavin’s cold voice pierced through the bloody haze
once more.
“Summon your boss!”
