Panlong: From being hunted by the Four Divine Beasts

Chapter 19 Two People with Their Own Thoughts
On the streets of Bei'e City, several young-looking men and women were walking with angry expressions on their faces, as if they were angered by some "extremely evil" person.

"He's just the son of a city lord. We were the first to see the divine weapon. I asked him to hand it over, but he actually refused our request. I'll tell Elder Emmanuel when he gets back." A young man from the Blue Dragon clan couldn't help but complain.

"Okay, stop complaining. That guy will die soon anyway, so there's no need to be angry about him." A white-haired young man next to him patted his shoulder and comforted him.

Alfred did not disturb them rashly, but followed them quietly until he saw several people enter a magnificent palace.

"They were just talking about Elder Emmanuel? I think I've heard of him. He's an elder of the Azure Dragon Clan of the Four Divine Beasts Family. He's a seven-star demon. And most importantly, he's a fourth-generation disciple of the Four Divine Beasts Family. Rumor has it he may have even seen the Lord God."

Alfred pinched his chin and thought, and the information about Emmanuel quickly emerged in his mind, and he felt a little happy.

Originally, he was worried that the people from the Four Divine Beasts Family who came here were just a few ordinary clansmen, so it would be difficult for him to communicate with the higher-ups of the Four Divine Beasts Family, and there would be no way for him to offer treasures. However, with the Seven-Star Demon Elder, things would be much easier.

It is rumored that Emmanuel has a bad reputation and is considered to be very arrogant and domineering in the Four Divine Beasts family. Once his interest is aroused, Ryan will definitely die. Thinking of this, Alfred made up his mind and walked straight to the door of the palace.

"Bang bang bang!"

Alfred knocked gently on the door, then waited quietly at the door, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. He knew in his heart that not to mention that he was only a six-star demon now, even if he was still a Shura, he had to remain polite in front of the seven-star demon elders of the Four Divine Beasts family, otherwise their unreasonable temper might offend people at any time.

"Squeak!"

As the door slowly opened, two young men with blue hair opened the door and looked at the "bearded man" in front of them with some confusion.

"Who are you? How dare you come to the place of our Four Divine Beasts family!" One of the young men asked with a somewhat displeased look on his face.

"Please report to the Lord of Liang'an Prefecture that Alfred wishes to see Elder Emmanuel."

Alfred smiled gently and spoke in a calm tone, but his subconsciously clenched fists revealed the hatred in his heart.

"Alfred? Is he the former Lord of Liang'an who was killed by Ryan?" Another young man next to him exclaimed subconsciously.

Alfred's expression froze for a moment, then he forced a smile and said, "Yes, I am the former Lord of Liang'an who was defeated by Ryan. Alfred, please let me know that I have something important to discuss with Elder Emmanuel."

The two young men from the Azure Dragon Clan exchanged a look of surprise. Then, one of them slowly spoke, "Okay, I'll go report to the elders, but I don't know if the elders will see you."

"It's okay. After all, it's my fault for coming here without permission." Alfred didn't dare to say anything more. He just tried his best to look harmless.

……

On the third floor of the hall, a bald figure was lying on a reclining chair with his eyes closed and a hint of hesitation between his brows.

"Elder, there's a man outside claiming to be the former Lord of Liang'an Prefecture, Alfred, who wants to see you. What do you think..."

A clear voice came from outside the door, asking cautiously.

"Swish!" Emmanuel stood up suddenly, opened his eyes, a look of shock flashed across his face, then turned into confusion, and finally revealed an expression of "I see."

Originally, he was a little unhappy to hear someone disturbing him, but the name Alfred surprised him a little. He didn't quite understand why he came to his place, but then he realized that Alfred was probably here to seek asylum.

After all, the new lord of the mansion, Ryan, would certainly send people to hunt down Alfred in order to eliminate future troubles. If he didn't want to die, it was natural for him to seek shelter. It was also possible that he would try to seek help from the Four Divine Beasts family in desperation. Thinking of this, Emmanuel instinctively waved his hand:

"Let him leave... eh? Wait a minute, let him in."

When Emmanuel was about to have Alfred kicked out, he suddenly thought of something and immediately changed his mind and had someone bring him in.

"He was the previous palace lord. He might still have the power of the Lord God in his space ring. And his clone is still there. It's impossible for Ryan to open the space ring. In other words, I can kill Ryan and take his Lord God power to give to Kolofield."

Emmanuel showed a satisfied smile on his face, then returned to the recliner and waited quietly.

After a while, a young man from the Qinglong clan led the brown-haired Alfred into the room.

"You go down first." Emmanuel waved his hand and spoke casually.

"Yes, Elder." The young man didn't say much. He clasped his fists in response and left the room.

After the young man from the Qinglong clan left, there were only two people left in the room. Emmanuel was still leaning leisurely on the recliner, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he didn't see Alfred standing there.

"Alfred, I'm here to meet Elder Emanuel." Alfred stepped forward, bowed his head, and spoke with a humble attitude.

Emmanuel on the recliner seemed not to hear anything. He just closed his eyes and rested quietly, leaving Alfred aside.

"Is there something you want to see me about?" Emmanuel spoke casually without even looking at Alfred.

Alfred couldn't help but curse in his heart. If he were still Shura, even if the Four Divine Beasts Family was powerful, Emmanuel would not dare to ignore him like this.

Although he was furious, Alfred didn't dare show it on his face. He just spoke respectfully, "Elder Emmanuel, I came here to ask for your help. My clone was killed by the current Lord of Liang'an, Ryan. Therefore, I would like to ask Elder Emmanuel for help. Ask the Four Divine Beasts Family to come forward and kill Ryan."

Emmanuel showed a hint of sarcasm on his face, sneered but did not answer. Of course he wanted to kill Ryan personally, but that was his personal matter. Who the hell was Alfred to deserve his help? If he was still the lord of the mansion, it would be fine, but now, he was just a six-star demon who had lost his home.

"Elder Emanuel, I naturally wouldn't ask you for your help in vain. In my space ring, I still have two drops of the power of the Thunder God, as well as a rare item I accidentally obtained many years ago. I am willing to give them all to Elder Emanuel."

Alfred naturally knew that it was impossible to get something for nothing, so he gritted his teeth and spoke. By doing this, he could be considered to have given away all his chips.

"Oh, I see!"

Emmanuel finally slowly opened his eyes and looked at Alfred with an expression that was neither a smile nor a smile, as if showing "a little bit" of interest.
