Chapter 315: The Troublesome Sound Technique
The man watching the battle is actually Aldrian, while the woman comforting the children is Sylphia. Aldrian has been in Larson City for four days, observing the Larson family’s situation. He stands on the sidelines, watching as the Larson family’s problems grow, curious to see how they will respond.
The assassins from the Thunderous Shadow Pavilion, whom he had ordered to assist with the Duclan family operation, informed him that the young master of the Larson family was likely to visit a brothel. Curious about the young master’s character, he decided to observe him while taking Sylphia for a walk.
He wasn’t really expecting much from his visit to the brothel tonight, but he was completely wrong. He saw Elis that actually a devil and the prince of the Vindas Empire in the same hall. To his surprise, a King-stage devil with special identity was hiding inside the brothel, disguised as an entertainer, and the prince was in disguise with an unknown purpose. He wondered if Princess Loraine was aware of this. Allowing the prince to be here seemed no different from exposing herself to danger.
If the Larson family later learned about the prince’s presence here, and if the prince attempted anything that endangered them, Aldrian could easily imagine the Larsons informing Prince Claude about his little sister’s actions. This would buy the Larson family some time, as the imperial family would be preoccupied dealing with the fallout of the princess’s treachery being exposed.
"First Finger, Second Finger, block anyone from the Larson family from approaching the battle area," Aldrian said through a voice transmission.
"Yes, master," came the response.
Aldrian continued watching the increasingly intense battle. He saw a giant avatar swing its blade toward Elis, only for her sound attack to block the strike.
The cultivators from the Larson family were already on their way to the scene. A battle between King-stage experts was something they needed to address, especially since it was happening within their own city. However, the assassins from the Thunderous Shadow Pavilion were blocking their path, diverting their attention. By attacking the Larson family cultivators and creating chaos, the assassins ensured that the Larsons wouldn’t have time to investigate the battle area.
The giant flame avatar was visible from five kilometers away, its massive form exuding tremendous pressure and strength as it repeatedly targeted the same spot with its blade. However, Elis’s sound technique was exceptionally strong in both attack and defense, preventing Claude from even grazing her sleeve. He knew he couldn’t prolong this battle much longer. This was a densely populated area, and reckless attacks would risk harming innocent bystanders.
