Chapter 27: Pay a Visit to Norman
The night was still in its early phase, the moon not yet at her prime position in the sky. At this moment, the entire population of Balin stood outside their houses, looking at the direction of the battle. Some began approaching the scene and the Hydra's corpse. Even though the Hydra was dead, its residual aura still terrified them.
Despite that, many came closer to the corpse in hopes of seeing the powerhouse who killed it or perhaps appealing to their magnanimous heart for a piece of the Hydra's body. After all, many parts of its body could be useful for various purposes.
-----------------------------
In front of the big building of Golden Swan Commerce, Norman stood, looking in the direction of the battle. He stared blankly, with only one thought in his mind, "Are the devils fighting someone who can unleash that kind of slash? Who is that? Is it the elf emperor himself? But he is not a sword cultivator!"
He began to panic. When the devils suddenly disappeared, he thought they had gone somewhere. Even when all the devils inside the Golden Swan Commerce tower vanished, he let it slide. But upon seeing the massive Hydra and the oddity of the situation, he realized that the devils had been in a fight and someone had discovered their operation.
"I have to get rid of our involvement with the devils." he thought. With this in mind, he rushed back to his room on the top floor. When he arrived and opened the door without hesitation, he was stunned to see another person already sitting in his seat, reading a book. A boy with black hair and a handsome face, with a laid-back expression, sat with one leg crossed over the other.
It was undoubtedly Aldrian. After defeating the Hydra, he had teleported there to look for evidence of Golden Swan Commerce's involvement. In a short time, he had already found the book he was looking for and was reading the part he wanted to know.
"The logbook!" Norman didn't care about the other's identity. He instantly rushed to seize the book from Aldrian's hands, his Marquess stage aura booming. Using his movement technique and fastest speed, he tried to grab the book. But before he could, his movement slowed, and his technique canceled on its own, causing him to be shocked. His body became heavy, and he dropped to the ground. He gritted his teeth and looked at the boy in front of him.
"He can control gravity! Gravity laws!" Norman screamed in his head.
