Chapter 384: Swift Before the Food Gets Cold
At this time, the entire mayor’s mansion was in a panic as a strange phenomenon occurred. In front of the dining room, a dozen of Young Master Alexi’s knights stood frozen like statues. Everyone who saw them tried to free them, but all their efforts were futile—none of the knights could move even an inch.
The dining room where their lord was located also could not be opened, no matter how hard they tried to break in. It was as if a protective formation prevented anyone from entering.
"Once more!" one of the guards attempting to break the door shouted. Three guards then unleashed their sword techniques against the door, but it did not budge.
"It’s futile. The door seems to be protected by a formation that can withstand even a Grand Duke-stage attack," another guard said.
"What the hell really happened? Who would dare attack us so brazenly? Is it the rebels?"
"I don’t think so. We’ve already crushed their resistance in this city, and their last base in this region is Weilmar, which is far from here. Didn’t we also confirm that no one suspicious entered the mansion?"
While the guards were discussing what had happened and how it occurred, Alexi’s knights, who were trapped in a spatial lock by Aldrian, desperately wanted to shout at them.
"Nnnngggg."
"Nnnngggg."
"Escape! That monster is inside! Escape!"—this was what some of the knights were trying to scream, but the guards attempting to break the door misunderstood their intentions.
"Be patient. We’ll free you once we find a way. Fortunately, you’re not in any immediate danger—you just can’t move. Our priority is breaking this door to check on our lord before we try to solve your problem," one of the guards said to the knights, who could only produce muffled sounds.
