Chapter 360: Lost Treasure, Narrowly Escaped Death

After Andre’s arrival, the chaos in the alley was instantly put to an end.

The mysterious Dark Elf that was floating in the sky had a look of intense fear in his eyes.

Many years ago, when Andre had just become the City Lord of Devil Flame City, he already had the strength of a level 40 creature. For many years, he had rarely fought in front of others, so no one knew how much strength he actually had in the present. However, based on the fact that he had extinguished all the flames on the ground, it meant that Andre had the strength of at least a level 45 creature.

In the entire Dark Elves Race, he could also be ranked in the top ten!

“City Lord Andre, I’ve heard so much about you! I’m also here today for the treasure. I am not going to kill His Highness. Since the City Lord has already rushed over, then I’ll take my leave!” said the mysterious masked Dark Elf as he slowly floated toward the dark clouds in the sky.

Since he had already obtained the remains, as long as he escaped, it would not be long until he was on par with Andre in terms of strength.

Andre narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Dave.

At that moment, the heavily injured and bleeding Dave looked at his father who had rushed over to save him at the critical moment. There was long-lost excitement in his eyes. He could not help but think that his father still valued him very much!

However, Andre’s subsequent question made Dave feel extremely disappointed again.

“Where is the Elf King’s remains?”

Dave pointed at the mysterious Dark Elf in the sky and said helplessly, “He took it away!”

After hearing this, Andre ignored Dave and turned his head to glare at the mysterious Dark Elf in the sky. He shouted in a deep voice, “You won’t be able to leave today!”

As soon as his voice fell, a pitch-black demon aura surged out of Andre’s body. After that, it condensed into pitch-black armor on the surface of his body. His entire person instantly became dense with a demonic aura. It was as if his body contained endless terrifying power.

When the mysterious Dark Elf in the sky saw that Andre did not want to let him off, he could only smile and say, “Since the City Lord isn’t willing to give me a way out, then don’t blame me for being rude. It just so happens that I still have a spell that I have yet to cast today. Why don’t I give it to the City Lord?”

Andre frowned and snorted coldly, “Do you want to die?”

The mysterious Dark Elf no longer paid attention to Andre. Instead, he raised his hand that carried the Demon King’s Groan and softly shouted, “Sky Demon Dance!”

In the dark clouds above, countless demons made of black fog instantly emerged and roared as they rushed toward all the living beings nearby.

The three individuals who were closest to them were Andre who was in the alley, the heavily injured Dave, and the slightly injured David.

When Andre arrived, David knew that he had no chances left. Therefore, when he saw the mysterious Dark Elf cast the spell again, he immediately turned around and ran out of the alley without any hesitation. He just wanted to leave the horrifying battlefield in front of him.

Meanwhile, Dave was seriously injured and could not move. The black barrier that protected him had also lost its effectiveness and disappeared completely. If he wanted to survive the attack of the evil demons, he could only rely on Andre to protect him.

However, at that moment, Andre did not even consider the life and death of his son. All he cared about was the whereabouts of the Elf King’s remains!

After seeing that the mysterious Dark Elf was about to disappear into the black clouds, Andre no longer hesitated. With a loud roar, he soared into the air and chased after the mysterious Dark Elf.

As soon as the demon fog approached Andre, they would directly disintegrate into black mist by the armor on his body. Therefore, the remaining demons no longer attacked Andre. Instead, they turned to attack Dave, who was unable to fight back on the ground.

Dave looked at his father, who was getting further and further away from him. His eyes could not help but be filled with despair. At the same time, they were also filled with hatred.

He hated this man’s ruthlessness, as well as the weakness in his heart. At that moment, he actually expected him to care about the feelings between father and son.

After seeing countless demons rushing up to him, Dave could only laugh at himself. He then closed his eyes and prepared for death.

However, at that moment, a figure rushed into the street that was filled with demons. He arrived beside Dave in the blink of an eye.

“Your Highness, I’m too late!”

Vincent helped Dave up with one hand whilst holding the Return Journey of the Dead wrapped in coarse cloth in the other. He did his best to disperse the demons that rushed up to them. He then brought Dave out of the alley.

Dave looked at Vincent quietly. His eyes were filled with shock, doubt, and gratitude.

What shocked him was that Vincent had once again rushed to his side and saved him at a critical moment.

What puzzled him was that he could no longer see through Vincent. He had begun to doubt his identity and the purpose of him coming to his side.

Nevertheless, what moved Dave was that no matter what Vincent’s purpose was, he had indeed spared no expense to save him twice. In this world, not even his own father had treated him so well!

In a trance, Dave had just taken a step when he suddenly collapsed to the ground. After coming back to his senses, he said helplessly to Vincent, “I’ve lost too much blood. My stamina is exhausted and I can’t walk anymore! Why don’t you leave me here? You should leave!”

After hearing that, Vincent did not hesitate at all. He turned his head and shouted, “Miller! Take His Highness out of here. I’ll cover the rear!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the guards, Miller, rushed into the alley. He raised his hand and carried the heavily injured Dave from Vincent’s arms. He said with a caring expression, “Your Highness is injured? Quickly follow me back to get treatment!”

Dave was too lazy to respond to Miller. Instead, he turned his head to look at Vincent. Vincent had turned around and walked toward the demons that were in the sky. He went alone.

Dave was not testing Vincent earlier. Instead, he genuinely wanted Vincent to leave. However, he did not expect Vincent to be determined to save him. He was even more resolute than he had imagined!

Vincent immediately regretted leaving alone to face the demons. This was because there were too many demons in front of him. Plus, he could not use his true strength at that point. As Andre and Miller were nearby, he would definitely be discovered if he displayed his true abilities.

Therefore, he should have asked Miller to stay behind and left with Dave instead!

However, from the moment Vincent participated in the Black Hole battlefield of the Human Race to the time when he moved to the world of the 10,000 races, he had always been alone to cover the rear for his teammates.

At that moment, in the face of an unexpected situation, he subconsciously made a judgment and forgot to consider the stakes involved. Therefore, in order to continue hiding in Demon Flame City, Vincent could only suppress his own strength and restrict his Return Journey of the Dead when fighting with the demons in the air.

By the time Dave was carried out of the alley by Miller, five or six wounds had already appeared on Vincent’s body. Vincent was thrown to the ground by the demons. They attacked him one after another. It was likely for Vincent to be torn into pieces in the next second.

“Let go of me, let me go back. Vincent is still there!”

Dave who was being taken away by Miller struggled forcefully. He roared angrily. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked extremely terrifying.

How could Miller allow Dave to be willful at this moment? He only wanted to bring Dave to a safe place as soon as possible so that he could heal. When Dave calmed down, he would naturally thank him for saving his life today.

As for Vincent’s life and death, it was not important to Miller! At the same time, he also felt that the life of a guard was even less important to a profligate son like Dave!

“Your Highness, your safety is more important. Don’t worry about Vincent. If he dies fighting for you, then he deserves to die!” said Miller loudly as he led Dave to the nearest military camp.

City Lord Andre had built a total of 162 military camp guard stations in Devil Flame City. They were scattered in the streets all over the city. He guaranteed that no matter which corner had an accident, there would be soldiers rushing over from the nearby guard stations. Each guard station had specialized medical personnel. Therefore, as long as he brought Dave to the guard station, he would be able to receive treatment as soon as possible.

Vincent, who was lying on the ground in the alleyway, watched Dave disappear from the end of the street.

He let out a long sigh.

As no one was looking, he could finally use some life-saving methods!

“Modify the void!” shouted Vincent softly.

A crystal-clear light lit up his entire body. Immediately after that, his body became dim and void. No matter how the surrounding demons attacked, they could only penetrate his body and not hurt him in the slightest.

Vincent raised his head and looked at Andre and the mysterious Dark Elf. Their figures were faintly discernible in the dark clouds. Every time the two of them exchanged blows, the sky and earth would change color. The mysterious Dark Elf naturally relied on the Demon King’s Groan that he had just obtained from the auction. The magic ring came with three spells. They were all top-tier spells that had a large range, long duration, and astonishing destructive power.

This was especially helpful for him who was in the dark clouds in the sky. Not only could the spells help the mysterious Dark Elf hide, but they also helped him to share most of Andre’s attacks. That was why he was able to contend with Andre for so long.

On the other hand, Andre was indeed worthy of his title as one of the twelve apostles of the Demon Race. He used the aura of the Demon Race to perfection. Like a god of war, he pursued the mysterious Dark Elf in the air. He always had the upper hand. He could probably capture and tear the mysterious Dark Elf into pieces at any time.

However, Vincent believed that the battle would not end so soon. As they were busy fighting, they did not have the time to notice him. So he took the opportunity to run out of the alley and into the entrance of Hell’s Rose.

What made Vincent feel incredible was that the battle outside had turned the world upside down, but this small building, which symbolized the entrance of Hell’s Rose, was not damaged at all. It was as if the battle outside had deliberately avoided this place.

As soon as Vincent rushed into the building, he canceled the void effect on his body, so that the staff guarding the door would not see the abnormality on his body.

Monica, who had been waiting in the room, saw Vincent rushing in and quickly went forward to ask with some concern, “You’re injured, is it serious? Do you need me to bring you back to the fifth floor to be bandaged?”

Vincent lowered his head to look at the injuries on his body. He shook his head and said, “No need, this injury is useful! Are you ready? I’ll bring you out of Hell’s Rose right now!”

Monica quickly said excitedly, “I’ve already said goodbye to Lady Catherine!”

Vincent nodded and grabbed Monica’s hand. He led her out of Hell’s Rose and onto the nearby streets to look for Dave’s whereabouts.

Although Vincent did not know where Dave had been taken to by Miller, he followed the bloodstains on the ground. Soon, they arrived in front of a military camp.

The military camp in Devil Flame City was very special. It was much taller than all the surrounding buildings. The entire building was black-purple in color, and the top floor was round, like a bell tower.

Such a military camp could garrison troops and monitor the city’s defense. It could be seen that Andre had indeed put in a lot of effort to consolidate the order of Devil Flame City.

When Vincent walked into the military camp, he noticed that the soldiers were all in a hurry. He casually pulled one of them over and asked, “Have you seen His Highness, Dave?”

The soldier immediately replied, “His Highness is recuperating inside. If there’s nothing else, please wait here for a moment!”

Vincent ignored the soldier and pulled Monica towards the innermost room.

At that moment, Dave, who was being treated by the military doctor, had a pale and dull face. It was as if he could not feel any pain. This was because his mind was not on himself. Instead, he had been worrying about the safety of one particular individual.

“Your Highness, how is Your Highness?”

Vincent suddenly walked into the room with an anxious look on his face. He went straight to Dave.

“Vincent!”

When Dave saw Vincent, his whole body instantly came to life. He noticed Vincent’s wounds all over his body and hurriedly said, “Quickly sit down and let the doctor treat your wounds!”

Vincent did not refuse him. He just nodded and sat down beside Dave.

The reason why he came to see Dave with wounds on his body was to let Dave see his sacrifice with his own eyes. He wanted him to remember what he had done for him.

Dave grabbed the doctor who was bandaging his wounds and said to him in a commanding tone, “Bandage Vincent first. If anything happens to him, I want you dead! Do you hear me?”

The doctor nodded in panic and quickly turned around to treat Vincent’s wound. Dave personally wrapped the bandage on Vincent’s shoulder and supervised the doctor with a concerned expression.

Miller, who was standing by the side, could not help but feel disappointed when he saw Dave’s reaction. He thought that he would be able to appear proud in front of Dave after the incident. However, he did not expect that his status in His Highness’s heart was far less important than that of Vincent!

Just as Miller was feeling depressed, Dave suddenly turned to him and said, “Miller, I don’t need any help here. Go and support father immediately. Don’t let father get hurt!”

When Miller heard this, hope reappeared in his eyes again. Since Dave had already spoken to him, it meant that their relationship had been eased.

“And now, if I take this opportunity to go and support the City Lord, I might even be able to get some credit. Then, I won’t be far from reaching the peak of my life!”

Miller thought to himself and could not help but nod and reply, “Yes, please rest assured and recuperate, Your Highness. This subordinate will go and support the City Lord now!”

Dave smiled as he watched Miller walk away. Then, a look of disgust soon appeared on his face.

At this time, the wounds on Vincent’s body had also been treated. Monica, who had been waiting by the door, quickly walked up and took over the bandaging work from the doctor. She helped Vincent bandage every single one of his wounds carefully.

After Dave gestured for the doctor to leave, he lowered his voice and said to Vincent, “Now that the remains have been handed over to the public, the other assassins have been killed by the mysterious Dark Elf. The only pity is that David escaped, but our plan can still be considered a success!”

Vincent frowned and asked, “David really stayed in the alley and attacked you? Did the City Lord see it?”

Dave nodded and said, “Yes, he did. We were both saved by him at the same time!”

Vincent smiled slightly and said, “Previously in the City Lord’s mansion, in order to make the City Lord believe in me, I casually made up that all of this was planned by David in the dark. I didn’t think that I would hit the jackpot and make everything seem more real! Moreover, with the conflict between the City Lord and the High Priest, he will definitely believe it to be true!”

Dave nodded and said, “It’s just that today’s chaos did not allow my father to obtain any substantial benefits. He already has a certain view of me, so I think he will look down on me even more in the future!”

Vincent shook his head and said, “That may not be the case!”

Dave heard a change in Vincent’s tone. He bent down and asked curiously, “Could it be that there are other possibilities?”

Vincent smiled and said, “Today’s chaos has allowed the City Lord to see David’s role in the whole matter. In the future, he will definitely think of ways to suppress this son of the High Priest. If the City Lord personally makes a move against David, not to mention bullying the small, the way he eats will also be really ugly. When that time comes, it will definitely cause the High Priest to resist fiercely, and it will not be worth it. Therefore, the City Lord needs to nurture someone who can suppress David. Can you guess who the best candidate is, Your Highness?

After spending a whole day with him, Dave no longer saw Vincent as his guard, but as a father figure or teacher. As he knew that Vincent was testing him, he replied proudly, “If you want to suppress David and make the High Priest and the others speechless, you must be someone who is similar to David in age and strength, and whose background can not lose to David. Therefore, the most suitable candidate is me!”

Vincent nodded and said with a smile, “Your Highness, you can wait and see. When the City Lord returns, not only will he not reprimand you, but he will also try his best to care for you. He will arrange a position for you, hinting you to seek revenge from David!”

Dave nodded and continued, “And I can just play along. On one hand, I can get rid of David to make father look at me in a new light. On the other hand, I will start to take over the affairs of the city. I’ll be ready to replace father at any time!”

Vincent nodded and said, “Then let’s not delay any further. Let’s go back now! I have already seen the battle between the City Lord and the mysterious Dark Elf. I believe that the victor has already been decided! I just don’t know if the mysterious Dark Elf can escape from the City Lord’s hands!”

Dave suddenly raised his head and looked at Vincent with a curious face. He asked softly, “Oh? You know so much about high-level battles?”

Vincent could not help but be startled after hearing Dave’s question. He turned to look at Dave, whose eyes were filled with doubt and amusement. He immediately had a bad premonition. It seemed that his disguise had been suspected by Dave.

However, what Vincent did not expect was that Dave did not directly expose him!
