“Just got back today!” Nolan Ochoa replied nonchalantly.
“Master Nolan, I didn’t realize it was you who honored us with your presence. There’s a private room upstairs that is available, let me take you up!” the woman continued.
“No need, the lounge is fine, you can go ahead!” Nolan Ochoa waved his hand.
“Master Nolan, this won’t do. You are a distinguished guest, how can we let you sit in the lounge…” the woman responded.
“Do you not understand what I said?” Nolan Ochoa’s tone turned serious.
“Then… alright…” the woman hesitated for a moment before quickly leading the group to their seats.
After everyone had taken their seats and glanced at the menu, they were somewhat surprised to find that many of the dish names were similar to those in their home country.
About ten minutes later, after everyone had placed their orders, the woman turned and left.
As she passed by the bar, she exchanged a few words with a waiter, who then left the restaurant.
“Master Nolan, do you think she will inform the people from your Star Moon Sect?” Azure Dragon looked at Nolan Ochoa with a faint smile.
“She will!” Nolan Ochoa decisively nodded.
After a slight pause, he turned to Billy and said, “Actually, you don’t need to do this. Just take me to the Star Moon Sect directly, and I promise my father will agree to hand over your two companions.”
“And then?” Casey said with a faint smile, “Will you let us leave your sect unharmed?”
“If I guess correctly, you’ve probably already thought about it back in the City of Angels, haven’t you?”
“For the sake of saving your own life, you temporarily submitted to us. When we arrive at the Star Moon Sect, we will become like fish on your chopping board, right?”
“I… I didn’t think of it that way…” a hint of glint flashed in Nolan Ochoa’s eyes.
“Whether you thought of it that way doesn’t matter,” Billy replied blandly. “You better pray that your father doesn’t have the same idea, otherwise, your Star Moon Sect might disappear from this world after tomorrow.”
After saying that, Billy paid no more attention to Nolan Ochoa.
He naturally knew what Nolan Ochoa was thinking-luring them to the Star Moon Sect and then capturing them all at once.
But wasn’t he also thinking the same way? Since Star Moon Sect dared to imprison Opal and Amber, then they had to be prepared to pay a price!
Around fifteen minutes later, the food was served, and everyone picked up their knife and fork.
Objectively speaking, the food tasted pretty good, not inferior to the flavors of some well-known restaurants in their home country.
“I feel that this world is closely related to our Glavale!” Vermilion Bird said while eating.
“Indeed,” Bob nodded in agreement. “Including the clothing of the people here, the architecture of the buildings, and even the food in this restaurant, they are not much different from Glavale.”
“Do you know the reason?” White Tiger asked Nolan Ochoa.
“I don’t know the specific connection,” Nolan Ochoa shook his head. “But according to legends, when the Forbidden Ruins Space was first sealed, most of the people inside were from Glavale.”
“However, over time, people from the outside kept coming in, including some from other countries, and they married and had children inside.”
“As time passed, it became what it is today. Even now, about sixty to seventy percent of the people here are still from Glavale.”
“I really don’t understand why someone would seal off this world!” White Tiger said as he picked up a piece of meat to eat.
“Boss, someone is here!” After a while of eating, Casey looked at Billy and said.
“Mm!” Billy nodded.
With a snap of his fingers, a few strands of finger wind swept into Nolan Ochoa’s body, causing him to immediately pass out.
“Stout, take him upstairs with Judge and don’t let him come down for now,” Billy ordered Stout and Judge.
“Alright!” Stout lifted Nolan Ochoa and headed towards the stairs, followed closely by Judge.
“Where are you taking Master Nolan?” a waiter approached the three men.
“Get lost!” Judge said in a low voice, and at the same time, a powerful gust of wind swept through, sending the waiter flying out.
“You…” the woman from earlier and other restaurant staff members gathered around.
“If you are seeking death, hurry up and follow us!” Stout glanced at them before heading up the stairs.
Feeling a strong killing intent emanating from Stout and Judge, the others involuntarily stepped back.
Shortly after Stout and his group went upstairs, footsteps could be heard coming towards the restaurant entrance, followed by a group of people entering in a line.
Except for several men and women wearing robes, the rest were dressed in the attire of the city lord’s mansion.
“We are here on behalf of the City Lord’s Mansion. All unrelated people must leave immediately!” the lead official in the embroidered robe shouted loudly towards the hall.
Without needing his reminder, the diners at the restaurant quickly dropped their cutlery and ran towards the door.
In just two minutes, the hall was left with only the restaurant staff and Billy’s group.
“Mr. Ochoa, you’ve finally arrived!” The woman saw the lead official and hurried over. “Their people have taken Master Nolan upstairs!”
“Who are you people?” a man named Deandre Ochoa, who was the lead official, did not rush to have his men go upstairs, he walked towards Billy’s group and spoke in a low voice not far away.
“If you want to save your young master, relying solely on you people is far from enough. Go back to your sect and bring more people!” Casey glanced at the man and calmly remarked.
“You fools, you are asking for death!” a man behind Deandre Ochoa raised his hand and pointed at Casey angrily.
“You have one minute to bring Master Nolan down immediately, otherwise, none of you will survive!” he threatened.
“I’ll give you one minute to get out right now and don’t disturb our meal!” Azure Dragon retorted.
“I see you are seeking death!” the man roared again, raising his hand to strike Azure Dragon with a powerful punch.
Since Billy’s group had concealed their martial aura, he had no way of knowing the level of opponents he was facing.
A muffled sound rang out, and the man was sent flying, his eyes rolling back in his head as he fell to the ground after hitting the bar.
Witnessing this scene, the others quickly drew their weapons.
“You are truly ignorant, daring to take Master Nolan hostage. Let’s see what you are made of!” Deandre Ochoa roared angrily, slashing at Azure Dragon with a knife.
From his aura, it was evident that he was a third-rank Saint.
Without holding back in his attack, it was clear that he didn’t regard Azure Dragon’s life lightly.
As he made his move, the people behind him followed suit with imposing momentum.
“Ignorant fools!” Before Azure Dragon could act, Ian Blade and Azure Fang both made their moves.
After several sword lights, the men in the front immediately fell to the ground, blood gushing from their bodies.
Deandre Ochoa’s situation was no better, as his arm and the large knife fell to the ground simultaneously, blood spewing out.
Seeing this scene, the remaining people stopped in their tracks, their faces filled with shock.
It was only then that they finally realized they had encountered formidable opponents.
If even Mr. Ochoa couldn’t handle a single blow from them, going up against them would mean certain death.
“Who… who are you people?” after a brief moment, Deandre Ochoa stopped the bleeding and gritted his teeth to speak.
“Do you know the consequences of offending the Star Moon Sect?”
