Museum of Deadly Beasts

Chapter 754: No Awareness of Trouble

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This tall man owned a Rank 5 pet beast, and his companion was the strongest type of beast in its rank, which explained his arrogance.

He was even the number one expert in their home country.

The person who started the fire was his biological younger brother, and this brother had always been conceited because of his elder brother’s strength. Now that he was being mistreated in Jade Dragon City, his patience was easily breached and he simply revealed his true colors.

This group had always been bold. With their prince and their country’s strongest fighter to back them up, no one dared to offend them, not even dignitaries.

These people didn’t care for other countries either, not even if they met their emperor.

“What’s more, we didn’t do anything to Jade Dragon’s royalty and dignitaries. We’re also guests who traveled a far distance. We didn’t do anything to Lin Jin either, so they wouldn’t do anything to us,” the tall man scoffed.

He had obviously thought it through. They had merely killed citizens of the lowest class, so what exactly could Lin Jin do to them?

“Let’s go!”

This group planned to leave after killing someone.

However, Jade Dragon Kingdom had its rules, government, and detectives.

The commotion here had caught the nearby detectives’ attention. Along with reports of murder, many soldiers and detectives soon rushed over.

Upon seeing how domineering and forceful this group looked, they thought that they must be dignitaries of another country, so the soldiers didn’t know what to do for a moment there.

Normal detectives dared not approach the group. They waited until the city guards arrived to stop them.

The foreign prince couldn’t be bothered with these soldiers. He had his subordinate show his identification, and this startled the city guards’ captain.

The prince of a premium country.

They couldn’t provoke this group.

Jade Dragon was still an intermediate country and had yet to be promoted. Even after promotion, their country would be on the same status as the foreign group’s country so they surely couldn’t disrespect or offend these foreigners.

Problem was, these foreigners had just committed murder right inside their city.

Hence, they couldn’t exactly offend them nor could they let them go.

“Won’t you get lost?” the prince’s subordinate asked disdainfully after seeing how the surrounding Jade Dragon soldiers had no intention of pulling back.

The guard captain felt pressured but knew he mustn’t fall back at a time like this. If he really let these people go after they had just committed murder, he would surely be blamed. Moreover, he didn’t actually like these outsiders who just showed up and caused trouble in their city. Be it for work or personal reasons, he couldn’t let them go.

But he also knew that the group had many experts so if they had to resort to force, his men wouldn’t be enough to hold them down.

What he could do now was buy time and wait for reinforcements.

And so he deliberately glanced at the ruined inn before asking, “We should be treating our valued guests with hospitality, but may I know what exactly happened here?”

Asking questions to delay time seemed like a good idea.

Yet, the perpetrator simply scoffed. “A small-fry soldier who isn’t even lieutenant class isn’t fit to ask us questions. Get lost or there will be hell to pay.”

These people were evidently spoiled individuals.

The captain’s expression fell. He scoffed on the inside but maintained a casual tone, saying, “If you’re displeased with my rank, please wait a moment as our general will arrive shortly.”

He wasn’t bluffing. At such a critical event, the emperor had personally ordered that all military personnel were to standby in full armor and patrol the city together with the city guards.

He already sent someone to report the situation here just now so a high-ranking city official should be here soon.

The group of foreigners was stunned.

Why did things seem to be getting out of proportion?

This was different from what they had assumed.

One of them went over to speak to the guard captain. “My good man, our brother was just reckless in his speech. This is only a small matter so why is there a need to give us trouble? Here is some money for you and your brothers to spend on drinks.”

Having said that, he handed the guard captain some money.

But the guard captain didn’t accept.

Because even if he did, he wouldn’t live long enough to spend it.

“It’s best if you wait for a short while, gentlemen.”

Seeing how the guard captain wouldn’t accept their offer, the man with the flaming snake and a short temper lashed out again.

“Ignorant fool! Our prince is a valued guest invited by your emperor, so how dare you stop us and give us trouble?! You must have a death wish.” As he spoke, the fire snake behind him seemed itching to strike. However, he was stopped by his brother, the tall man, this time.

They obviously had to handle the royal capital’s city guards differently compared to some random city folk.

They could easily brush over cases involving insignificant citizens but they couldn’t do so for military personnel. Any mishandling would lead to huge issues.

Although the tall man didn’t care for Jade Dragon or Jade Dragon’s emperor, and he didn’t even think much about Lin Jin whose name had now stunned the entire mainland, he refused to provoke others for no apparent reason.

If sizable trouble did occur from this, it would be a hassle to resolve it.

Holding his brother back, the tall man said, “Alright, we’ll wait for your city guard army’s general. It’s nothing serious anyway, so there’s no need for things to be so tense.”

With this, both sides stopped pressuring one another. However, the atmosphere was just as strained because more and more citizens had now crowded around to watch. The fortunate survivors from the inn further helped this issue to grow.

Voices of discussion grew louder and now the city’s locals were angered. They started berating this foreign group for being so overbearing and murdering people indiscriminately.

This was common for citizens. They were usually straightforward about things being right or wrong, never being unsure. They might fear their country’s dignitaries but the people in question were authorities of another country who had nothing to do with them. Without having to fear these outsiders, the voices of dissatisfaction continued to grow.

The prince and his men were livid.

Understandably, no one could remain calm in such a situation. And since the crowd kept increasing, they got nervous too.

When they took action earlier, they only saw it as a trivial matter and believed that Jade Dragon wouldn’t hold them accountable. But if public opinion was involved, things would be different.

Public opinion would be unfavorable for their case.

And this wasn’t a good thing.

“Hmph, bunch of insignificant peasants. Wei Zhuang!” the prince called.

Wei Zhuang was the tall man and also their country’s number one expert.

The latter knew what he should do.

And that was to release his pet beast and deter the city from what they were pursuing.

Others may not be able to achieve this feat even if their pet beasts were Rank 5, but Wei Zhuang was an exception. Because his pet beast was very unique..
