Chapter 60: 60. Demon King and Troupe Convicted! Strange Elder Appears!

After many minutes of unwarranted power tussle, Wang turned to leave with the group after telling Souzane and her group to follow him. It was then that Menjin made the unthinkable move. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Menjin’s blade found its way to the side of Wang’s neck. However, Menjin threatened only to strike if a wrong move was ever made.

"No one goes anywhere!" Menjin stated with authority and with the edge of his sword on Wang’s neck, the rest of Wang’s squad hesitated to make any moves.

Menjin looked at the other members of the Green Patrol, whistling and tilting his head sharply. They understood their captain’s order and quickly apprehended Wang’s men, taking hold of their weapons.

"Well, Wang. No one goes into the village if I don’t see a permit." Menjin reiterated emphatically. "Is that so hard to ask!"

Menjin rubbed his forehead and sighed.

"Take them."

In the blink of an eye, the three atop the gate had reached the ground with their weapons poised to attack at any moment.

Souzane moved to act but Aaron put his arm out in front of her, disrupting her intention.

"Don’t," Aaron said. He looked at Souzane and shook his head.

Souzane gritted her teeth but still listened to Aaron and changed her mind about the attack.

Within the next few minutes, Souzane, Aaron and the rest of their group along with Wang and his men were all bound and arrested by the Green Patrol.

While the all convicted were murmuring and annoyed with their current state, Aaron saw good in a dire situation and smiled. As far as he was concerned, even if they lost the battle, they had won the war.

They had succeeded in getting themselves into the Herb village.

Aaron hummed and nodded his head, as they took them into custody, much to every other person’s irritation. At the same time, he was thinking about the next phase of their plan which was even more important than getting in.

That next phase was about staying in.

In no time, they were at the Green Patrol building with Wang and his men put in a different cell from Souzane and hers. Souzane, however, stayed with her men only because she wished to since Menjin intended to put her alone in a separate cell.

"What are you smiling about, pretty boy?" Souzane asked Aaron. She had noticed how he wasn’t flustered by their current dilemma, instead, he embraced it as if he had anticipated something like that to happen.

"I’ve noticed that you’ve been smiling since we got arrested," she continued. "Is this also part of your grand scheme of things?"

Aaron, who had closed his eyes for a while, remained silent. He had not uttered a word in response to Souzane and he didn’t seem like he was planning on doing that either.

Souzane punched the wall and charged towards him, dragging the collar area of his robe.

"Eh! Pretty face!" she bawled at Aaron, her voice was off the room and her face almost peeled off from vexation.

The rest of the group shifted away from the two, avoiding any close-range contact that was anything closer than the already short distance between the walls of the cell.

Aaron hissed.

Finally thinking Souzane worthy of his gaze, he opened his eyes and stared daggers at her. For a negligible instant, Souzane felt an overwhelming grip on her body and immediately, she let loose of Aaron’s clothes.

"We are in the village as planned, aren’t we?" he asked her.

Souzane mumbled as she tried to figure out a smart answer to give. "Um. But we didn’t plan to enter the village as prisoners."

"Patience is a virtue that not everyone possesses," Aaron said before shutting his eyes again, leaving Souzane to burn up with anger and bare her teeth.

Absolutely defeated by her smarty pants of a partner, Souzane left Aaron and returned to where she was seated initially. She tapped her thumbs against each other and tapped her feet hastily on the cell floor, making some disturbing noises but no one dared to talk to her about it.

Souzane kept shooting sharp glances at Aaron, almost as if she wanted to pounce on him and tear him to shreds. His calmness irked and this was understandable because they were not in the situation of being calm.

Not long after Souzane’s nagging did they hear footsteps approaching their cell. The first was a young man in the Green Patrol uniform, he walked till he reached the lock of the cell and stopped.

The bandits saw this and raised their heads to the man, stepping back whereas Souzane stood up and approached

"You’re free to go," the member of Green Patrol informed them.

The news came as a surprise since they were not expecting anyone to come and bail them out.

"How? How is that possible?" Souzane queried.

The Green Patrol member slotted a key into the padlock that kept them in and turned it, opening the lock itself.

"Someone bailed you out."

Souzane looked at his group with disbelief and slight shock in her eyes. She advanced closer to the man in a green uniform and held the bars of their cells.

"Who is that?" she asked.

The man in a green uniform looked to his right and answered, "Her."

"It was her who bailed you out," he answered Souzane with a head movement in the same direction.

Souzane turned that way to see five people approaching their cell. Two of them she could recognise, the other three she couldn’t.

"Wang? You’re out?" she asked with a surprised look.

Wang chucked and nodded. "Of course, I am. It was all thanks to the madam."

Wang shifted his eyes between his madam and Souzane quickly and chuckled again.

"I believe you two still remember each other," Wang said.

Souzane kissed her teeth with obvious displeasure and a face that clearly showed that she was in no way pleased.

"Of course, Wang. Of... course."

Hearing her slow, dragged voice, the madam chuckled, covering her mouth like a prim and proper woman that she was.

The madam approached the bars of the cell. "It’s good to see you again, Souzane."

"The pleasure is all mine... Elder Lin," Souzane replied with a grotesquely forced smile on her face.
