Deep into the night.
It was already late at night when they came out of the Radiance Fountain. The hustle and bustle of the entire Wallfor had faded away and gradually quietened down.
There wasn't a single person in sight on the bustling river and bridges during the day. Only the lit lanterns and torches continued to illuminate the city.
There was no one there.
The carriage slowly arrived at the ferry by the embankment. Logically speaking, there should be a ferry waiting for them. As long as they boarded the ferry, Jenn's group could return to the inn along the river to rest.
But to their surprise, the ferry that was supposed to stop here wasn't in sight at all. Not only that, but the surroundings were also empty and there wasn't a single person in sight.
This was obviously unusual because even if other places in Wallfor needed to rest, the waterways wouldn't. Even during the most laid-back times, there would be several guards and workers guarding the ferry to prevent anyone from stealing or to be ready to help during the transportation of supplies.
But now, there wasn't a single person in sight, only the empty ferry under the illumination of the torches.
As far as the eye could see, there wasn't even a single boat in sight.
Anyone could see that the situation before them was definitely abnormal.
After arriving at the ferry, Zayen's carriage had been quietly parked there, motionless.
The two pitch-black horses shook their heads and wagged their tails from time to time as though they were enjoying themselves.
There weren't any movements inside and they seemed calm as though they were waiting for someone to pick them up.
Da Da Da …
Not long after, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night.
Then, hundreds of heavily armed soldiers rushed out from the intersection with weapons in their hands and completely surrounded Zayen's carriage from all directions.
They raised their bows and aimed at the carriage with stern expressions.
Facing this sudden uproar, the two warhorses merely swept a glance at the soldiers before turning back to look ahead as though they didn't care about the soldiers at all.
Looking at this scene, the soldiers couldn't help but be taken aback. They thought that with so many of them, the carriage would surely be startled.
But they did not expect that not only was the coachman nowhere to be seen, but even the two horses that were pulling the carriage ignored them, which made the soldiers quite depressed. Since when did the horses look down on them?
"— — — — —!"
After the soldiers formed an encirclement, the pitch-black river lit up in an instant. At the next moment, a warship appeared in the middle of the river.
Its cannon was opened and its pitch-black muzzle was aimed straight at the chariot before it.
Shortly after, Alexander strode out of the cabin in large strides, lifted his head proudly, and stared at the chariot before him.
"You have nowhere to run. Get out here right now!
Bassanon Mens! "
Alexander's roar dissipated into the night sky, and the surroundings were dead silent. It was not until a moment later that Zayen's voice sounded faintly.
"What a fool …"
Along with his words, the tightly shut carriage door opened gradually. Jenn, who was clad in a black suit, stepped out of the carriage, followed closely by Enoya, Pattilina, Alice, and Irene.
Even though she was surrounded by soldiers, Enoya's expression remained unchanged. She was always like Jenn's shadow, standing behind him loyally.
On the other hand, Pattilina rubbed her palms together excitedly, revealing a cheeky smile at the soldiers. It was apparent that she couldn't wait to get rid of the sandbags that came knocking on her door.
Alice, on the other hand, still had that innocent look. She just widened her eyes and stared curiously at the people in front of her. Her face was full of curiosity and doubt, as if she was just an innocent passerby who had no idea why she would encounter such a thing.
On the other hand, Irene's reaction was the most normal. She curled up her body, gazed at the soldiers around her vigilantly, and didn't know what was going on.
But it was obvious that this definitely wasn't a good thing.
Zayen, who alighted from the carriage, still had that leisurely attitude. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Alissanda, who was standing on the deck in the distance and gazing at him with a smug expression. Zayen shook his head helplessly with an expression of "this kid is unteachable" and sighed softly.
"I've given you a chance, Mr. Alexander.
Again and again, but not again and again. Unfortunately, it seems that you have mistaken my concession for cowardice.
In that case, it seems like I don't need to show mercy to you anymore. "
"You …!"
One had to admit that Jenn indeed knew how to provoke the other party's anger. In just a few words, Alexander, who was eager to see Jenn's panicked expression, was infuriated once again.
His yacht sank and he spent three million on that broken sword. If this matter were to spread, it was imaginable how his reputation and future in the family would be affected.
At this thought, Alexander was fuming. In his opinion, his current pathetic situation was caused by Jenn.
But look at this bastard now, he actually pushed all the blame away, making it seem like he was the one in the wrong!
"Good! Very good!"
Thinking of this, Alexander was so angry that he laughed. With a sinister smile, he looked at Zayen and snorted coldly.
"Say whatever you want, but this is the only time you can be so stubborn!
There are a total of 500 fully-armored soldiers and three warships here … "
"So?"
But this time, before Alexander could finish his sentence, he was once again lightly interrupted by Zayen.
"Do you want to deal with me, a decorated noble?
I have to admire your courage and intelligence … Mr. Alexander, didn't the Soros Family teach you what it means to confront a noble? "
"I don't need you to worry about that!"
Hearing Jenn's words, Alexander flew into a rage.
He originally thought that since he had mobilized so many people and made a real stance, this pretty boy would definitely be scared to the point of peeing his pants. At that time, he would make fun of him to vent his anger.
But what Alexander didn't expect was that Jenn didn't care about the soldiers surrounding him at all.
At this moment, Alexander finally couldn't hold it in any longer. At this moment, his mind was completely blank. The anger that he had accumulated for the entire day erupted in an instant. He no longer considered the consequences of doing this, nor did he consider the impact it would have on the Soros Family. There was only one thought in his mind.
Kill this bast * rd!
"Attack! Kill him!!"
Along with Alexander's roar, the soldiers immediately pulled the trigger. Soon, hundreds of poisoned crossbow bolts flew from all directions and enveloped everyone in an instant.
However, Jenn didn't do anything. In fact, even Enoya, Pattilina, and Alice didn't do anything.
When the crossbow bolts flew in front of them, a bright magical radiance suddenly appeared on the black carriage. Then, mysterious runes quickly appeared and twisted into a barrier in the air. After the crossbow bolts passed through the barrier, they immediately lost their momentum and fell to the ground, scattering everywhere. However, they didn't cause any trouble at all.
It was no wonder. Jenn's carriage was custom-made in the Demon Realm. In addition to being beautiful and comfortable, it naturally put in a lot of effort in terms of safety.
In fact, not only could this magic carriage resist physical attacks to a certain extent, but it was also immune to the threat of low-level magic.
Due to this, Jenn didn't take Alexander's threat to heart at all. In fact, even if they sat in the carriage and let Alexander bombard them indiscriminately, they wouldn't lose a single hair.
But now, Jenn obviously didn't appear here just to watch Alexander make a fool of himself.
"Go!
Kill them! "
Seeing that his attacks were ineffective, Alexander became more and more furious. He roared in exasperation.
Upon hearing his command, the servant beside him hurriedly picked up the bugle and blew it softly.
"Woo …"
The low sound of the horn pierced through the night, and the soldiers who heard the sound of the horn to attack quickly reacted.
They threw away the bows in their hands, drew their swords, raised their shields, and closed in on Jenn in an orderly manner.
One had to admit that as a commercial city, the quality of the soldiers in Wallfor was pretty good. Almost every soldier was at the level of an elite. In the Eagle Highlands, they could be considered a decent elite force.
But in Jenn's eyes, these guys were nothing more than a bunch of pitiful worms that came to their deaths.
Gazing at the soldiers pouncing on him, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly and he sneered.
Of course, he guessed what was on Alexander's mind. It was nothing more than a human wave tactic to launch a surprise attack on his side.
Of course, perhaps the other party didn't think of defeating him, but as long as he could successfully cause damage to the people around him, it would still be considered a victory.
But Jenn naturally wouldn't give Alexander the chance to realize the 'Ah Q spirit'.
At this thought, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Then, Jenn stretched out his hand to push up his glasses. Then, he swung his right hand forward.
In the next moment, an icy aura mixed with ice-cold light tore through the dark night sky.
