Chapter 122: The Plan

It was still early, and they planned to move tonight.

Wayne was still in the mood to tease Olivia.

“What you mean is it doesn’t matter what happens in the tavern. As long as Alan is fine, right?”

Olivia’s face turned red from Wayne’s teasing. She wanted to explain, but she didn’t know where to start.

“I, I’m not. I’m just worried about the people in the tavern!”

Olivia retorted stubbornly.

“Eh? I thought he was a very important good friend of yours.”

Wayne continued to ask, the regret on his face was obvious.

“Of course Alan is my good friend!”

When Olivia heard that he was going to deny her friendship with Alan, she immediately refused and retorted.

Wayne gave her a ‘you still admit it’ look, it made Olivia suddenly realize that she had been too anxious just now.

“I, I…, Uncle Wayne, just tell me about the situation in the tavern. Don’t fool me anymore.”

Olivia was angered by his gaze and did not know what to say. She could only complain coquettishly, asking Wayne to stop laughing at her.

“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Alan is fine, and the tavern is getting more and more lively. It’s definitely a huge loss for you to leave before the harvest season. A lot of interesting stories have happened in Rock City these days…”

As Wayne narrated, the events that happened in Rock City from the beginning of the harvest season gradually unfolded to Olivia.

The harvest season celebration was extraordinarily lively. Abraham came from far away from the Abyss, and Ai Xiaohei had been by Alan’s side since the harvest season. It could be considered as fulfilling Alan’s small wish.

This was the first time Olivia knew of Alan’s wish. She did not expect his wish to be so simple.

She secretly made up her mind that she would find more cats in the future when she had the opportunity to send them to Alan, so that he could choose whatever he wanted.

Then Alan invited the dwarves to jointly build generators and electric lamps, turning Rock City into a nightless city and giving Rock City a brand-new alternative energy source.

In order to celebrate this grand event, the governor held the second celebration, the lighting ceremony.

During this celebration, the demons forcibly opened the barrier between the Abyss and the human world. Demon King took his youngest daughter away, leaving behind the four demon lords of the Abyss.

Following that was his battle with the three demon lords. In Wayne’s narration, he was invincible and easily defeated those silly demon lords.

Alan had also created mahjong, arcade games, and other fun things, enriching Rock City’s entertainment activities.

Next was the elimination of the gray fog, the return of Orina, and Alan’s constant creation of new technologies to solve problems. Every creation was extremely amazing.

“Not only was Little Alan busy solving the matter of the gray fog, but he also made several new types of magic wine. What’s even more impressive is that he created a new cultivation system, a completely new discipline…”

Wayne rambled on about the matters of Rock City. He was also lamenting about the major events had indeed happened recently.

Olivia’s heart was surging with emotions as she listened. She could not help but feel regretful. If only she were in Rock City. Such a wonderful story. She was also very envious of Alan who had experienced all of this.

“Alan made new magic wine?”

Olivia pondered. She did not know if this incident could be used.

“Let’s not think about Rock City for the time being. Let’s quickly end the matter here.”

Uncle Wayne drank his tea, feeling a little down.

“I’m starting to think about the wine in the tavern and everyone…” Hearing Wayne’s mumble, Olivia secretly made up her mind.

“When I ascend to the throne, I’ll move the capital to the side of Rock City!”

“Uncle Wayne, what we’re going to do is this. Tonight, you’ll bring me along to save Stanton!”

“If that person really is a ghoul, then we’ll just get rid of that guy. Without the help of the ghouls, fifth brother won’t be able to stir up any trouble. As for my big brother and the other four…”

“They’re no longer a threat. As long as they know that you’re the one who get rid of the ghouls and that you’re on good terms with me, I’m sure they won’t put up any more resistance. What’s going to happen next is a political game. Just wait and see how I perform. Let’s end this quickly!”

Olivia excitedly told him her next plan.

“You’re going too? Under such circumstances, you…”

Wayne frowned. He didn’t agree with Olivia’s decision.

But she insisted on going together. In the end, under Olivia’s coquettish coaxing, Wayne nodded and agreed.

He would definitely complete what he had promised. Wayne would see Olivia win the final victory before leaving the capital. Moreover, this matter was related to the vampires, so he had even more reason to stay.

In the capital, at night

The sky was completely dark. Wayne took Olivia and left the princess’s residence silently.

Their departure did not alarm anyone. Only Cynthia knew that the two of them had left and was waiting in the princess’s courtyard.

According to the plan they had discussed during the day, they had to rescue Stanton first.

As for the guy called Peg whom Wayne had met in the city during the day, Wayne did not know if he had reported the matter of seeing them to the fifth prince. If he did, what would he say?

Wayne was still a little worried. It might become harder if the other party had prepared beforehand.

After bringing Olivia out of the princess’s residence, Wayne clearly felt that there were more strangers around the residence.

He frowned, feeling more sympathy for Olivia’s life during this period of time. The life of the royal family was not easy either.

“Olivia, don’t worry. I will definitely protect you well. You can do what you want with ease. Leave the battle to me!” Wayne said emotionally and caressed her head. He led her away from the eyes of all the watchers and quickly moved toward the fifth prince’s mansion.

Olivia was a little confused. Looking at the uncle who suddenly became emotional, she felt a warmth in her heart for some reason.

In a certain room in the fifth prince’s mansion.

Stanton had suffered most excruciating torture in this room.

The owner of this room was the ghoul. During this period of time, other than the ghoul biting his neck every day, the fifth prince came to extort a confession from him.

“Oh, the Grand Knight is still awake tonight? Is he waiting for me to come for dinner?”

The door to the room was pushed open, and an unusually feminine-looking man with a pale face walked in. His two long canine teeth exposed his identity without a doubt.

He saw that Stanton ignored him, so he was not angry. He approached Stanton with an interested look and poked his head to expose his teeth marks on his neck.

He picked a suitable place for his mouth and bit down hard. After a while, he raised his head from Stanton’s neck.

“Ha… as expected, the stronger the person, the sweeter the blood…”

There was a noticeable bright red at the corner of his mouth. He looked like he was enjoying it.

Stanton leaned against the pillar beside him with his head tilted. He panted weakly. After being sucked dry of blood, his expression became much more dispirited.

“Anderson, the ghouls really shouldn’t exist!”

His voice was soft and weak, but his eyes were still fierce as he said those words fiercely from his mouth.

These words seemed to have poked the other party’s sore spot. His pale face showed a sick and crazy expression. His cold eyes stared at the weak Stanton who was sitting on the ground.

“It’s not up to you whether the ghouls should exist or not.”

“But you are now my reserve food. As a food, you don’t need to have too many opinions!”

That cold voice was like the ice on a glacier. A bone-piercing chill pounced toward Stanton.
