Chapter 133 - Messing With The Guards (1/2)

”Marvin, once we reach Zeblor, you don't show your face around,” Hecathe spoke as he cautiously looked at the boy.

”That's a given,” Marvin sighed as he responded.

”And LeiLei, no matter what happens, you just keep acting cute, okay?”

LeiLei pursed her lips into a thin line and looked to be unimpressed as she heard this, ”I'm not acting. I'm naturally cute.”

”...” Hecathe didn't want to comment on that.

Marvin chuckled as he heard the girl and nodded his head as he supported her confident statement, ”She has a point.”

”In any case, although I said we are going to have fun, this is still something serious and we need to be careful,” Hecathe warned as he stopped in his tracks with his eyes in front.

LeiLei rolled her eyes as she heard the man and commented in a volume that was barely above a whisper, ”You're the only one taking this as a trivial joke.”

Marvin also came to a stop as he sighed and seeing that the two guys had come to a stop together, LeiLei also stopped on instinct as she looked at them curiously.

”Why are we stopping?” LeiLei asked as she tilted her head innocently.

Hecathe seemed to be lost in his thoughts as he kept his eyes in front of him and it was Marvin who answered her question with a small, almost mischievous looking smile.

”We are here.”

LeiLei gulped as she heard this and her eyes widened as she looked around in confusion but except for the green forest, there wasn't much that she could see.

”Are you sure about that?” LeiLei asked as her eyebrows creased together in confusion.

Marvin nodded his head confidently as he yawned and stretched his hands as if getting ready for a marathon or something.

Hecathe also nodded his head as he turned around to face the girl and held out his hand towards her, ”Let's go.”

LeiLei stared at the man's hand for a solid minute in confusion as she wondered what he wanted her to do but Hecathe eventually got impatient and grabbed her hand first as he pulled her along and Marvin clicked his tongue as he followed closely behind the two.

LeiLei was thoroughly confused but this confusion was nothing compared to the amazing sight that she saw next.

Although the route in front of them looked as if it was just leading to an endless forest, it was nothing more than an illusion put there to trick trespassers.

Hecathe and Marvin seemed to have already seen through this illusion and Hecathe was the first to break the illusion as he walked into a tree and passed through it as if the tree was nothing more than just their imagination.

Once they had passed through the tree, what greeted them was the sight of guards standing in the distance with their weapons steadily ready to fire whenever needed, but they didn't seem to have noticed the presence of the sudden intruders.

Hecathe pulled LeiLei and Marvin down as he immediately hid behind a bush and counted the number of guards that were there.

One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. And Eight.

There were a total of eight guards assigned for this area and Hecathe was sure that they were all very skilled and capable.

But no matter how skilled they were, Hecathe was still confident that they won't be posing a threat to him.

”LeiLei, mutants can't get through the door that we just passed from,” Hecathe spoke in a whisper and LeiLei had a hard time paying attention to what the man was saying as she got distracted by the number of guards guarding a total number of eight doors that looked magnificent and expensive.

Zeblor was certainly not running low on cash... As expected of the capital city, even the outer gates looked grand.

”LeiLei, pay attention here,” Hecathe snapped as he pursed his lips into a thin line and the girl finally woke up from her train of thoughts.

”Hmm...? Yeah, what were you saying?” The girl asked as she gulped and tried to once again pay attention to what Hecathe was saying.

”The illusion that we just passed through,” Hecathe sighed as he repeated his words, ”The mutants can't get through it.”

LeiLei frowned as she heard this but didn't say anything as she simply nodded her head in understanding.
