The same words have different effects when spoken to different people—especially when these two know that Evan Chu’s cultivation level is higher than theirs. As soon as Evan finished speaking, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
At this moment, the restaurant manager couldn’t understand why Young Lord Hades’s two Venerable experts were so nervous. Why worry about dealing with a mere youth? Their posture was as if facing a deadly enemy.
After a few breaths, seeing the two still silent, Evan smiled and said, “Let me give you a choice: one is to be struck dead by lightning, the other is to be burned alive—how about it? That kid just now died from corrosion, which is honestly too disgusting for me to watch. Prepare yourselves to die!”
Arrogant and domineering—at this moment Evan Chu’s aura was even more overwhelming than Young Lord Hades’s. The two men were now drenched in sweat.
But no one wants to be slaughtered so easily. These two were big names in Moonwell City, used to throwing their weight around, so they valued their lives even more.
“Young master, we have no grudge with you—why make trouble for us? If you let us go today, we’ll do anything you ask in the future, no matter how dangerous.” One of them finally mustered the courage to speak.
Evan glanced at the middle-aged man and laughed, “I don’t care. Even if Nether Monarch Ming himself came, he’d have to speak politely to me. What are you compared to him? Frankly, I’m removing harm for the people of Moonwell City.”
As soon as he said this, all three were shocked, staring at Evan Chu in confusion. Someone even the Nether Monarch fears? That’s never happened in the Netherworld—unless you count the peerless Evan Chu who appeared a century ago.
And Evan Chu is actually the Nether Monarch’s son-in-law, the City Lord of Moonwell City’s husband, and Young Lord Hades’s father. If it really is him, then it’s a case of family not recognizing family—like floodwaters crashing into the Dragon King Temple.
But that’s basically impossible. If Evan Chu was coming back, he’d have done it long ago, not waited until now. Seeing no way out, the two decided to risk everything: even if they died, they’d fight him rather than just wait to be killed.
The two men immediately drew their weapons, ready to attack Evan Chu. Using a spatial domain was out of the question—their opponent’s strength was far above theirs, and trying to deploy a domain would only get them killed faster.
With a thought, Evan activated Thundershift—a bolt of purple lightning shot from his hand, striking the middle-aged man dead-on. Evan’s current attack power was at Da Luo Golden Immortal level.
Even though his Thundershift was only at first-layer, it was still strong enough to match an ordinary Immortal’s strike. How could a Third-Layer Venerable hope to withstand that? The lightning sent the man flying dozens of meters.
Those dozens of meters were after smashing through the restaurant walls. By the time he hit the ground, he was dead beyond saving—his whole body charred black, still smoking, a truly terrifying sight.
Such shocking power left the middle-aged man utterly terrified, and the restaurant manager was so stunned he couldn’t speak. His beady eyes stared at Evan Chu like he was a monster, mouth wide enough to fit a whole egg.
“Pathetic. Now it’s your turn. I said I’d burn you alive, and I always keep my word!” Evan said with a cold, mocking smile. His voice pierced the man’s heart like a thousand blades—he hadn’t even attacked yet, but the man was so terrified he coughed up blood.
Evan despised cowards like this. With a thought, he summoned flame—a blast of Heavenfire—and sent it flying at the middle-aged man.
A miserable scream rang out, but within a breath, the man vanished—there wasn’t even ash left. The terrifying heat of that Heavenfire even affected the restaurant manager, who fainted on the spot.
The manager fainted from both the Heavenfire’s heat and Evan Chu’s terrifying strength. Evan shook his head, then summoned Watershift to splash him awake.
The manager woke as if from a dream, head still spinning. When he saw Evan Chu, he nearly collapsed in fright, his face turning pale.
"Please don’t kill me—we have no grudge, and I swear I won’t tell anyone what happened!" the restaurant manager pleaded.
“Relax, I won’t kill you. Where’s the City Lord’s Mansion in Moonwell City?” Evan asked.
“Just leave the restaurant and follow the main street for about half an hour. Young master, are you heading to the City Lord’s Mansion?” the manager asked.
“That’s right. Here—one thousand high-grade Netherstones, enough to cover your losses. Farewell!” Evan pulled out Netherstones from his storage ring and tossed them to the manager before leaving the restaurant.
He flashed forward and appeared at the City Lord’s Mansion gates. Inside, Young Lord Hades was complaining to two elders. Hearing his story, the elders were shocked—if even the Protectors couldn’t handle this youth, his strength must be terrifying.
They realized how serious this was. Few dared to ignore the City Lord’s Mansion, and the culprit was just a youth—leaving them at a loss.
“I think we should inform the City Lord. If it’s really him, but he doesn’t know the young master’s identity, there’ll be trouble. It’s quite possible—the only other youth at Venerable Fifth Layer in the Netherworld is Human expert Lillian Zhang’s son.
He’s acquainted with our young master, so that situation wouldn’t happen. And Princess Ivy’s child is a girl, so that’s impossible too. I trust you understand what I mean,” said one elder.
“It’s definitely possible. There’s no time to waste—I’ll go report to the City Lord now, or it might be too late!” the other elder said, and hurriedly left the hall for another part of the mansion.
Meanwhile, Evan Chu flew straight into the City Lord’s Mansion, only to be blocked by the guards. Moonwell City’s City Lord’s Mansion had strong security—within moments, a hundred guards surrounded Evan.
Even the weakest of them was at Eighth-Layer Saint Martial Realm—a formidable force. Clearly, the City Lord was no ordinary person to have such guards.
Just then, Young Lord Hades and an elder appeared. Seeing Evan Chu, the young master immediately shouted, “Grand Elder, it’s him! He must’ve killed the two guards—avenge them!”
Not many people in the Netherworld knew what Evan Chu looked like—especially among the Netherkin, where he rarely showed up. So the Grand Elder didn’t recognize him, which is why he’d sent the other elder to fetch the City Lord… (Guaranteed 5 chapters today)
