Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 1194: Chapter 9: Nightfall, Wind Rises

The red sun hangs low, with a fiery sky at the horizon, the whole Holy City is enveloped in wisps of smoke.

After a busy day, commoners return to their homes as usual, greeted by steaming meals and the laughter of their children.

Some scantily clad women hover on street corners, they are the cheapest Wild Mandarins, worth noting, the Royal Capital does not regulate this ancient industry, it’s quite a substantial chain, even ’private business’ here needs to pay taxes.

It makes sense, in such a technologically backward world, besides procreation and drinking at night, there are basically no entertainment activities, the constant war keeps the price of grains and fruits high, making wine a luxury, therefore procreation is the only leisure activity for commoners at night.

This world certainly does not have planned reproduction, on the contrary, if a couple has more than three children, subsequent offspring will receive subsidies from the Royal Family, quite a significant income.

Some calculate that if you raise more than ten children, you basically don’t need to work, the Royal Family’s subsidy is enough to live.

A huge population base is needed to sustain the war, thus the Holy Sodding Kingdom greatly encourages fertility, if those street-side Wild Mandarins unintentionally get pregnant, they don’t need to work, living carefree for a year.

Under such laws, the people of the Holy Sodding Kingdom are very open, the status of women soars straight up, there is no gender equality concept in this world, because in everyone’s view, men and women are inherently equal, this kind of matter is natural, there’s no need to advocate it.

The red sun gradually falls below the horizon, dark night descends, apart from a few places, the rest of the Royal Capital seems quite dim.

Inside the Iron Hand Mansion, Su Xiao stands in the yard, ten black-armored Forbidden Guards behind him, they are not ordinary soldiers but killing machines trained by the Royal Family, once given the order, even if told to die, they wouldn’t hesitate a bit.

The Old King previously mentioned were Royal guards, yet now sends ten Forbidden Guards, the meaning is unmistakable, tonight all unstable factors must be cleaned up.

”It’s about time.”

Dragon Slash appears in Su Xiao’s hand, he places the Dragon Slash sheathed at his waist.

”Let’s go.”

Su Xiao steps towards the outside of the mansion, followed by Bubu Wang, A Mu, and ten Forbidden Guards, these ten like emotionless machines.

Su Xiao, originally going to kill, is brimming with blood energy, coupled with the ten ”killing machines” behind him, the surrounding temperature seems to drop.

The bright moon hangs high, Su Xiao walks the streets of the Royal Capital, moonlight shines on his face, tonight is a good night for killing.

The streets are empty, apart from A Mu’s heavy footsteps, the silence is deathly, the whole Royal Capital seems asleep in the night’s veil.

Su Xiao’s first target is Ian Polit, the councilor, this guy is easiest to handle.

During the day, Su Xiao already checked the residences of four targets, three live in the Royal Capital Central Area, the closer to the center the property, the higher the price, commonly known as the ’Rich Area’, those who live here are either wealthy or noble.

Among the four, only one resides outside, that’s Chief Justice Elvi Anthony, his official tier isn’t high, though he’s among the wealthiest in the Royal Capital, he must keep a low profile, because his money has no legitimate source.

The Old King wants to eliminate this Chief Justice not because of rebellion but because the man is too wealthy, the Old King wants to leave the new king a ’starter’s gift’.

In terms of ability, this Chief Justice is excellent, unfortunately, he didn’t grasp the situation, two days ago the Old King’s seemingly joking remark ’recent treasury tightness’, he didn’t care, actually it was the Old King’s last chance for him to turn over most of his fortune, securing his position and preserving his life.

What is it to accompany a monarch like a tiger? Exactly this, the Old King’s seemingly joke words concern someone’s life and death.

Su Xiao walks for about ten minutes, the buildings on either side of the street no longer gloom in darkness, some buildings emit dim candlelight, places akin to ’High-end Clubs’ in the Royal Capital, offering food, wine, women, and sometimes unique entertainment activities, it’s wealthy people’s favorite nighttime spot.

Tonight, our councilor gentleman brought his wife to this ’High-end Club’, this couple is peculiar, the husband finds young beautiful women here, the wife chooses her favorite strong young man, this couple is unusually ’harmonious’, or rather they have no feelings, their marriage purely for power and interest, hence, why not indulge openly instead of sneakily, it’s better and quite exciting, this is common among the rich.

Female giggles echo from the three-story ancient castle, occasionally mixed with the hearty laughter of men.

Su Xiao approaches the castle, two burly men stand at the entrance, clad in shiny armor, knight swords at their waists.

”Stop!”

One burly man shouts lowly, through dim candlelight, he sees Su Xiao approaching, with years of doormen experience, Su Xiao’s not a guest, most likely trouble.

”This is Mr. Warner’s private domain, if you don’t want to die, scram.”

The burly man’s attitude is beyond description, though he sees the soldiers behind Su Xiao, he hasn’t seen the soldiers’ uniform, and secondly, Su Xiao doesn’t wear noble attire, both leading him to judge Su Xiao might be a small merchant with a few guards, today most likely causing trouble, one needn’t bring guards to indulge in the Royal Capital.

Such people the burly man handles efficiently, first the attitude must be tough, no retreat, behind him stands someone of high position in the Royal Capital.

”Warner?”

Su Xiao pauses.

”Warner Von?”

Su Xiao is somewhat surprised, Warner Von is actually his second target, unexpectedly this Gold Melting Kiln is that guy’s business.

”Who are you?”

The burly man’s attitude changes dramatically, Su Xiao calling Warner Von by name too casually, causing the burly man to sense something wrong,

”Iron, iron, iron...”

The other burly man speaks tremblingly, using faint candlelight sees Su Xiao’s hand wrapped in a red metal arm guard.

After Su Xiao attained the Iron Hand position, the ”King’s Majesty” Bracer on his left arm was imbued with special meaning, this bracer is the Iron Hand’s symbol, unique.

”Seize them, interrogate to know all the guests tonight.”

As soon as Su Xiao spoke, two Forbidden Guards behind him rushed forward.

Bam, bam.

With two muffled grunts, the two burly men were knocked down.

”Mmm. Mmm...”

Two burly men covered their mouths trying to appeal for help, but were dragged into a nearby alley, moments later, the alley echoes with extremely painful whimpering, faintly, blood splatter sounds were heard.

Ten seconds later, two Forbidden Guards kneel on one knee before Su Xiao, their black armor stained with blood.

”Sir, the only guests here tonight are the Polit Couple.”

The Forbidden Guards’ voice is mechanical and dumb, no trace of emotion.

”Good.”

Su Xiao narrows his eyes, this Polit Couple unexpectedly passionate, actually booked the place.

”Leave none.”

”Yes!”

Ten Forbidden Guards draw longswords from their waists simultaneously, cold air rises off A Mu, Bubu Wang leaps onto the roof of a nearby building, preventing anyone from escaping amidst the chaos.

”Moo!”

A Mu charges straight for the castle.

Boom!

Rubble flies, a roar echoes across half the Royal Capital.

In the Royal Palace, the Old King, already lying in bed, opens his eyes.

”Well done.”
