City of Freedom is also a city of misfits. This city seems to have been forgotten by the mainstream of Patrick Ruiz’s realm. Although there are many powerful individuals in the city, their reputation and prestige cannot compare with the Ten Great Clans, or even with the First-class Families.
Because they are unique individuals, those humans who are different either in spirit or in body.
They also have no ho, no sense of clan, no team spirit, so they are basically independent loners.
Of course, so may have a few servants or followers, but they are no match for those large clans. It’s known that even the Second-class Families of Patrick Ruiz’s realm have guard troops, have large numbers of soldiers, while they do not.
So City of Freedom has beco a gathering place for the unique individuals of Patrick Ruiz’s realm. In the streets and alleys here, there are all kinds of humans in strange and bizarre costus, including even Demon Cultivators.
There are not so many rules here. Humans and Demon Cultivators live together in harmony.
When Yusuf Zuck and Lord Guo entered the city, it was already dark. To prevent recognition and leaks, both donned black robes.
Lord Guo had an estate in this city, and it was said there were a few servants or slaves in the estate, but the two did not return ho and instead went straight to Dallas Fournier’s estate.
Dallas Fournier’s estate was located in a garden in the south of the city, and the entire garden estate was his domain, with a few family guards guarding it.
This place was not sowhere just anyone could enter. Dallas Fournier’s cultivation level was high, and many desired to et him daily. If he t everyone, he could not keep up.
Thus, if you are not a friend, it is very difficult for strangers to et him.
"We must act according to the situation at the ti; after all, we don’t know if he is under the control of the Heavenly Demon Clan," Yusuf Zuck reminded.
"Got it," Lord Guo nodded. As they reached the garden, they were stopped.
"Apologies, my lord is not ho," the family guard said politely.
"Humph, Xiao Jun, you don’t even recognize this lord?" Lord Guo snorted coldly and removed his mask!
"Ah, Lord Guo? Why... why are you here? When did you return?" The guard nad Xiao Jun was shocked and bowed repeatedly.
"What is Old Ren doing inside?" Lord Guo didn’t trust that Dallas wasn’t ho.
"He’s playing chess inside," Xiao Jun chuckled.
"Oh? Playing with whom?" Lord Guo asked as he walked inside.
"Playing with Master Zhugeliang, but Mr. White Robe and Mr. Mike are also watching!" Xiao Jun replied.
"It’s them again, haha, alright, you don’t need to follow in," Lord Guo waved off Xiao Jun like he was returning to his own ho, leading Yusuf Zuck into the garden.
The garden was incredibly serene. Although night had fallen, both sides of the winding path were illuminated.
The two walked briskly for about five minutes and then saw a pavilion ahead, brightly lit, with four people sitting inside. Two were playing chess while the other two offered advice from behind, particularly loudly.
From afar, Yusuf Zuck was taken aback because all four sitting there were... all unique.
"Eh?" At this mont, soone among the four softly exclaid, then they all turned to look at Lord Guo and Yusuf Zuck!
"What are you looking at? Don’t you recognize your Grandpa Guo?" Lord Guo shouted.
"Whoa~ Old Guo?" The four exclaid simultaneously, then stood up in surprise.
Old Guo removed his mask completely, clasped his hands, and said, "Hey, I thought you’d forgotten about !"
"Enough nonsense, did you really take Gabriel Freeman as your master?" One of them asked, resembling a large gorilla with arms longer than legs, a horse-like face, appearing between forty-five and fifty years old, with three strands of sparse long beard!
"Haha, could it be false?" Lord Guo laughed heartily and then imdiately stepped aside to introduce, "This is my master, Gabriel Freeman!"
Yusuf Zuck also removed his mask and clasped his hands in salute, "Junior Yusuf Zuck, greets fellow Daoists!"
"Haha, no need for such courtesy, young friend. If Old Guo respects you as his master, you must have so skill!" the long-ard Scholar remarked with a faint smile.
"Master, this is Dallas Fournier," Lord Guo introduced.
Dallas Fournier returned the salute with a glare at Lord Guo.
Lord Guo ignored it and continued to introduce the chess-playing opponent, "He is Little Yeh Tianshi Zhugeliang."
This Zhugeliang was surprisingly a short fellow, absolutely not over 1.2 ters tall, chubby, with two mustache strokes.
"I’ve heard of Gabriel Freeman, a hero in his youth, and it’s true upon eting today. Greetings," Zhugeliang’s eyes sparkled as he clasped his hands.
Yusuf Zuck did not claim to be a junior; after all, he was the master of Lord Guo. Thus, he also clasped his hands, "Mr. Zhugeliang, greetings."
"This is Three-eyed White Robe."
"Haha, the na of Gabriel Freeman is well-known to . Greetings, fellow Daoist!" The Three-eyed White Robe appeared like a normal person but had a scar in the middle of his forehead, indicating a third eye now closed!
"This is One-horned Scholar Mike." The fourth person was the tallest and most robust, resembling a Golden Protector, and had a single horn protruding from his forehead.
He was not a demon, but a three-inch long horn grew on his head.
This was truly a unique individual, similar to a human but an unusual one among humans!
"Haha, Gabriel Freeman and Kenzo Ray have deciphered the demonic traps of the Nine Cauldron City. This is a benevolent and gracious deed. We, Mike, on behalf of the billions of people in Nine Cauldron City, thank you!" Mike rumbled in his deep voice.
"Alright, alright, Mr. Long Life, please sit down. Here we won’t bother about ranks. You, being able to take Old Guo as a student, surely have so abilities. Old Guo is willing, so we have no quarrel with you. Sit down, sit down!" The long-ard Dallas Fournier gestured for Yusuf Zuck to sit.
After Yusuf Zuck and Old Guo sat down, the atmosphere seed a bit cold. After all, to them, Yusuf Zuck was a stranger and had beco Lord Guo’s master, leaving them unsure how to converse.
Old Guo chuckled lightly and said, "Since no one is talking, let speak. This ti, I’ve returned to ask Brother Dallas sothing!"
"Oh? Old Guo, what do you need to ask ?" Dallas Fournier asked curiously.
The other three also looked surprised.
"Brother Dallas, do you know the Heavenly Demon Clan’s Asura Gate?" Old Guo’s expression was serious, staring intently at Dallas Fournier!
Dallas Fournier, uncomfortable under Old Guo’s gaze, nodded nonetheless and said, "Of course, the Asura Gate of the Heavenly Demon Clan is the most powerful. It seems they are now leading the Heavenly Demon Clan in my Patrick Ruiz’s realm!"
"Then do you know the Right Saint and Left Saint of the Asura Gate?" Old Guo continued to ask.
"I’ve heard, but never t them. Why?" Dallas Fournier inquired curiously.
"Nothing much, since you haven’t t them, why not give yourself a divination?"
"Give myself a divination? Are you joking? Don’t you know I never divine for myself?" Dallas Fournier snarled.
"If you don’t, we’re not friends anymore," Old Guo stated bluntly.
