Chapter 228: Shameless
Chapter 228: Shameless
"Mr. Inquisitor, do you really think you can catch me?" Diablo questioned with a sly smile.
"Humph, don't be too confident. I have already sealed the space and city, so there is no way you can escape," Lucius replied with a cold snort.
Hearing him, Diablo just shrugged.
"If I can't escape, then let it be," he said with a faint smile, not caring about getting caught.
The old man didn't say anything and looked at him deeply, wondering what he was planning.
Watching them like this, Alessia suggested.
"Grandpa, why don't we take him with us for now?" she said, clearly knowing it would take time to find the main body; however, they don't have such time as they were fishing for Lucifer.
Hearing her, Lucius thought for a while and nodded.
"Okay, then I will seal his strength and lock him into the basement," he replied, waving his hand and casting 'Divine Shield' again, but this time it was used for the opposite purpose.
After doing this, he didn't bother with anything and disappeared with Diablo.
Li Wei just observed silently from distance and stopped controlling Diablo after giving some commands.
He knew that the old geezer was trying to catch him the main body, but to do that, the clone needed to be recalled or dispersed by him.
After that, a certain mark will appear on his body, which can be tracked by Geezer and others.
There was only one way to escape from such mark, and that was to kill the tampered clone.
Li Wei already has a few ways to kill his clone; that's why he was confident in letting Diablo create trouble.
As he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel pity for the old man, as he couldn't catch Diablo or Lucifer today.
'Old man, I owe you too much,' he thought, sighing inwardly when Alessia came in front of him.
"Mr. Li—ahem, Hero Lucifer, why don't you appease the crowd? In the meantime, I will take care of some things here," she recommended, pointing at two bodies and the street, which was deformed by the fight.
Hearing her, Li Wei nodded happily, as he was hoping for this.
"Okay, miss Alessia. I will do it, but don't expect me to give a speech," he replied politely.
"Then, Hero Lucifer, I will busy myself," Alessia responded, and she began to contact people to fix the streets and move bodies away for treatment.
Meanwhile, Li Wei turned back to look at onlookers who were gossiping about him with excitement.
"Look, Hero Lucifer glanced at me, which means he likes me," a woman commented with heart in her eyes.
"Shut your mouth, bitch; the hero Lucifer is here for me," another woman retorted, picking up a fight with her.
Such things happened wherever Li Wei glanced, which made his mouth twitch; however, no one was able to see because of his mask, so they didn't know his expression.
The men were all jealous watching women fight for him, but no one dared say anything.
"Ahem, everyone," Li Wei coughed, grabbing the attention of the crowd before continuing.
"As you see, the fight has already ended, so wait until the roads are fixed, and then you all can line up again to enter the party," he explained calmly, as the roads only need a few ten minutes to be fixed.
After saying this, he glanced at his second clone, 'Li Wei', with approval.
"Li Wei, you did a good job of protecting everyone, and I hope you can become strong enough to become a standing pillar of humanity," he praised with a loud tone, making sure everyone here could hear him.
"Thank you, Hero Lucifer, for your praise." The second clone thanked him with a polite smile.
"Good, good; you are not arrogant, even if you are praised by a hero. I quite like your steady personality," Li Wei replied with approved nods.
In response, his second clone just smiled foolishly.
This drama made Alessia, who was keeping an eye on him, curse silently.
'Shameless!' she muttered in her heart, and before he could continue this again, she stopped him.
"Hero Lucifer, I have already arranged everything here, so let's return now," she informed with a beautiful smile.
Hearing her, Li Wei became disappointed as he wanted to praise more, but he knew that he couldn't be here for long time as a hero.
So, he nodded at her and turned towards onlookers who were looking at 'Li Wei' with jealousy.
"As you see, I have some important things to handle, so I won't accompany you here. But do not worry, because we will meet at the party," he said politely, and once again turned towards his second clone.
"Li Wei, I hope you grow strong enough so we can meet again," he stated before leaving with Alessia, who was glaring at him secretly.
'Shameless!' she cursed once again.
However, Li Wei ignored her and glanced at the two new skills he had learned.
[Knights Fury (Special Class Skill) - Lv. 60; Divine Sheild (A Grade) - Lv. 140]
'Damn! Another level 140 skill! This old geezer is really rich!' Li Wei thought as he saw the level of 'Divine Sheild'.
'Maybe I should trick the old man to fight with me so I can learn more skills,' he muttered in his heart, wondering if the old man would spar with him.
Just as he was busy thinking about this, Alessia brought him back to the villa.
There was nothing to do as the people were still arriving, so he just decided to laze on the sofa while Alessia went to see Diablo, asking questions about Irene.
Li Wei didn't bother to control the clone, so she got nothing from him and came back angrily.
"Basterd Diablo, just wait; I will skin you alive," she muttered with fury as she sat down beside him with an indignant look.
Li Wei did notice her, but his attention was focused on the screen, where he saw some acquaintances.
Ninon from MystiServs shop, Nancy from Nana's shop, even Alora and Victoria from Red Pearl Pleasure Quarters were here.
Then there were also people he was familiar with.
They were the city lord Bernard, Guild Master Maurice, Karina and her little brother Alex, Uncle Loid and his two wives, and lastly Auntie Clare the owner of StarMoon Inn.
He also found some hateful people, such as the four nobles, Patrick and them; there was also Carson, who got castrated by Diablo.
Watching them, he frowned with displeasure, but he didn't say anything and continued to wait until everyone arrived, while looking at the list that Alessia gave him.
The list contained all the people in the party and how many coin cards they have.
Li Wei couldn't help but become a little shocked when he saw how wealthy the first three were.
'Looks like I will be able to earn a lot of money today,' he thought in his heart when Alessia, who was sitting beside him, stood up.
"Mr. Li, it's time to begin the party," she informed.
Hearing her, Li Wei came out of his thoughts and nodded.
"Okay, let's go then," he replied with a hint of excitement, and followed Alessia to the party hall.
