Hail the King Chapter 739

Chapter 739: Tough Characters (Part One)

Ten people arrived at the square before the Martial Saint Mountain on horses.

The person in the lead was thin and not that tall, and he was in an ordinary robe. However, there was a light silver mask that covered half of his face, revealing his mouth and chin. He looked quite young and possibly less than 20 years old, and his long blond hair swayed behind his back. Even though he looked calm and peaceful, there was a sense of danger and murderousness coming off of him.

The nine people behind him were all wearing the same kind of black robes, but they were in various ages groups; some elderly people were in their sixties, and some young people were in their twenties. Even though they looked common, their eyes were sharp, and their auras were on another level.

Most of them were between Six-Star and Eight-Star, and two of them had entered low-tier Moon-Cla.s.s; they were on the same level as Chris Sutton, and it was impressive.

The person in the lead jumped off the horse and chatted with Matri who was waiting there. Then, they walked toward the pavilion.

It was clear that they were the last group of people who were going to go on the Martial Saint Mountain.

"It is them…" The Golden Sun Knight looked at that young man in the mask and was stunned; he didn't expect to see this group of people here.

"Brother Sutton, who are they? Are they visiting Master as well?" Luffy pointed at the man in the mask and asked in his childish tone.

"I'm not too sure, but it seems like it." Sutton thought for a while and patted Luffy's head before saying, "Don't get too close to these people; they are tough characters."

"Are they dangerous? Who are they?" Luffy asked with curiosity.

"They are from a mysterious underground organization. That man with the silver mask is one of the two leaders, and he is really mysterious; no one knows where he came from, and no one knows who is behind him. We only know that his nickname is [Young Man]. This organization suddenly appeared about a year ago. In the beginning, not a lot of people paid attention to them. However, now they are the most powerful non-official intelligence network in the Empire. It is heard that even the intelligence of the Imperial Military Headquarters and the Imperial Knight Palace couldn't figure out their backgrounds. There are a lot of masters in this organization, and there is nothing that they couldn't find. The most powerful master in this organization is known as the [b.l.o.o.d.y Yellow Cape], and this person is known as the most powerful master in the underground world in the Empire. No one knows how powerful this person is, and some people estimate that this [b.l.o.o.d.y Yellow Cape] is a Sun-Cla.s.s Lord!" Chris Sutton said to Luffy in a low voice.

After hearing the serious words that came from Sutton who was an executive knight, Laura got a little scared and quickly pulled her son into her arms before covering his mouth, afraid that her talkative son would trigger and offend those vicious characters.

Sutton was young and already an executive knight, and he was from a big n.o.ble family. There weren't a lot of people who had more prestigious status than him, and he was conceited and haughty.

However, even he was concerned about these people, and that was enough to prove how terrifying that young man with the silver mask was.

Right now, those ten people arrived at the pavilion under the lead of Matri.

It was clear that this man in the mask had paid attention over here. When he looked up and glanced at Sutton, a strange half-smile appeared on his face; it was hard to understand what he was thinking about. Then, he looked at Luffy and observed this boy. He didn't say anything; instead, he turned over and chatted with someone beside him.

Chapter 739: Tough Characters (Part Two)

Even though Luffy was in his mom's arms and got his mouth tightly covered, he clearly saw that this young man in the mask had given him a friendly smile. For some reason, he felt like this man who was terrifying in Sutton's eyes was intimate toward him like a big brother.

Soon, they started their journey and climbed up the Martial Saint Mountain.

The path onto the central mountain was quite steep, and they had to pa.s.s many tunnels, walk on many stairs, and get through iron chains that were dangling in the air. Ordinary people without warrior energies or magic energies wouldn't be able to get onto the mountain.

If it weren't for Sutton who was intimate toward them, Luffy and Laura might not be able to get through all the obstacles and get to the top of the mountain. Matri saw this, but he didn't say anything. He simply led the way in the front.

After about one hour, this group of people reached the top.

The peak of Martial Saint Mountain was like a paradise. It was warm with fresh air, and the scenery was just stunning. There was green gra.s.s, vibrant trees, and even a running river. Beautiful b.u.t.terflies flew around, and cute animals like rabbits and squirrels appeared frequently.

This was Chris Sutton's first-time coming to the peak of Martial Saint Mountain. Even though he didn't know why King Alexander of Chambord wanted to see him, he was very excited.

The fact that he was able to climb the mountain and get to the top was a great honor.

The young man with the silver mask and the people who came with him were asked to rest and wait inside a guest house.

Sutton, Luffy, and Laura were led by another young man of the Martial Saint Mountain, walked through a green path, and arrived at the edge of a cliff in about a dozen minutes. The area near the cliff was more open, and an ancient wooden building stood there quietly.

Beside this wooden building, there was a pavilion that was propped up by four pillars that had green vines grown all over them. There was a handsome, black-haired young man standing in the pavilion and glancing at the entire city from the above. He seemed das.h.i.+ng and ethereal, looking like an immortal who was above all the mortal matters and conflicts.

He was Alexander, the King of Chambord and the Imperial Martial Saint.

After that young man of Martial Saint Mountain led the three people to the pavilion, he reported to Fei and left.

"It is Executive Knight Chris Sutton's honor to see you, Mr. Martial Saint!"

"Master, your disciple Luffy is here."

"It is my honor to see you, Mr. Martial Saint!"

The three greeted Fei respectfully and bowed according to their status.

Even though Imperial Martial Saints weren't involved in the military, politics, or civil matters, their status was superior. Even the royal families couldn't constrain them!

Their supreme status deserved respectful and sincere greetings.

"Eh, come here." Fei turned around, nodded, and pointed at the stone chairs in the pavilion, signaling them to sit down.

After the three of them sat down, Sutton looked at Fei and sighed in his mind, "When I was younger and more aggressive, I went to challenge him on his way to St. Petersburg under some people's provocations. Although I lost that battle on the Dual-Tower Mountain, we could still be considered as young talents. But now, he has transformed into a holy dragon that soars in the sky, and I'm far behind him even though my strength improved. We are no longer on the same level."

Sutton knew that not only him, but the entire young generation of Zenit was also going to be topped by the King of Chambord, and no one could surpa.s.s him.
