Chapter 692: Acting (3)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A top-tier epic powerhouse, backed by the immense prestige of a former empress, would undoubtedly provide tremendous a.s.sistance.

With Elin included, their “small group” now boasted three epic powerhouses, making them incredibly formidable.

Under their discussion, a concrete implementation plan gradually took shape.

Three days later arrived swiftly.

Luxurious carriages appeared from various parts of the city, converging at a large club in the city center. Descending from these carriages were elegantly dressed elven n.o.bles, including wealthy aristocrats and legion commanders.

Inside the club, these high-ranking elves wore genteel smiles, adhering to standard elven etiquette as they mingled, discussing not only commercial news worth millions of resources and coins but also the current world situation or family matters.

The younger elves formed small groups, exchanging tender glances and whispering intimate topics, or they danced together in the ballroom.

On the valuable wooden tables around the room lay delicacies and fine wines from around the world. These items, considered exorbitantly expensive elsewhere, were mere common fare here, serving only as fillers for their stomachs.

On a nearby platform, a band played soft cla.s.sical music, adding a touch of elegance to the atmosphere.

This was the daily life of the elite elves, characterized by robust national power, abundant wealth, and lofty confidence, allowing them to indulge in luxury. With vast wealth at their disposal, they enjoyed themselves, attending banquets or going hunting every day.

Although the Elven Empire was powerful, signs of decay and decline had begun to appear within.

Most elven n.o.bles no longer possessed the ambition and drive they had tens of thousands of years ago to resist the forces of evil.

On the second-floor indoor balcony, Ji Chen looked through the curtain’s crack at the scene below, where even the air seemed to be tainted with decadence, and couldn’t help but sigh.

“You elves really know how to enjoy yourselves. Hosting a banquet like this probably costs millions of gold coins.”

Sensing the slight mockery in Ji Chen’s words, Miligas couldn’t help but show a embarra.s.sed expression. Large-scale banquets like this were something he had often attended when he was younger, each costing at least tens of millions.

Although it was a lot, it wasn’t much for the extremely wealthy elves.

“Ahem, thank you for speaking up for me in front of Queen Laphia and Queen Elin earlier,” Miligas said gratefully.

Ji Chen waved his hand dismissively. “It was just going with the flow, nothing significant.”

Miligas quickly added, “But this is a rare opportunity for me. If you ever need my a.s.sistance in the future, please feel free to ask.”

Miligas had also come to realize the reality. Ji Chen’s current status far surpa.s.sed his own, and what he needed to do now was to firmly grasp onto his coattails in order to rise to greater heights and reach a higher platform.

Ji Chen smiled and said nothing, accepting the promise. He glanced at the time and said, “It’s about to begin. Get ready.”

Meanwhile, outside the club, an unremarkable carriage slowly approached. Seeing such a nondescript carriage approaching, the elven guards stepped forward immediately, shouting.

“Unauthorized vehicles are not allowed to approach. Otherwise, they will be fined and punished!”

However, the carriage showed no intention of stopping and continued towards the club. This immediately angered the elven soldiers, who approached with some annoyance. However, they were surprised to find that there was no driver in the carriage; it was being pulled by a single horse and completely sealed shut.

They became instantly vigilant, gripping their weapons.

“Who’s in the carriage? Come out now, or we’ll shoot!”

Boom!

The carriage exploded instantly, and an extreme malice, as if from the abyss, spread rapidly like tentacles, causing them to s.h.i.+ver.

A figure shrouded in black mist slowly stood up, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes..
