Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!



Unlike her, the maid couldn't control herself, as she subconsciously looked toward the balcony above, where a young man was standing, sipping tea casually. 

Xu Shan was casually watching the scene as if it had nothing to do with him. 

The young man's gaze met the maid. Xu Shan revealed a smile, as if he knew the question in her eyes.

"I understand. It's important to find people who committed such a horrible crime. However, searching here would only be a waste of time. No one here would ever do this. And you know why."

Yunxi couldn't let these people continue their search. In the end, she told them to leave, and search elsewhere. 

The Guards also agreed. They had no other choice. Moreover, they weren't the Royal Guards. They were ordinary Guards who belonged to the City Lord's Mansions. They didn't know the equation in the Royal Family, nor did they dare to investigate. 

They couldn't see any reason for Yunxi to hide the killer who attacked the army of her own Sister's Empire. 

They swiftly turned around, and continued their search in other houses in the area. 

After the guards left, Xu Shan jumped down the balcony. 

He landed on the ground, with the tea cup still in his hand. Even as he jumped down, not a single drop of tea had fallen down. 

"Was it your work?" Yunxi asked Xu Shan. 

All signs pointed at it being his work. The killer was strong enough to take out the Royal Guards. He used daggers as well. 

Another sign was that Xu Shan was missing the entire night, and that's when this happened. 

"Do I look like someone who can kill people?" Xu Shan asked innocently, patting the hair of Yunxi like she was a little child. "You shouldn't defame me, little brat."

Even though Yunxi was technically older than him, in his eyes, she was still a child, mentally and physically. 

"Your grandfather is here. Get the identification and then we're leaving," he told the girl, only to notice the disappointed gaze of the old man. 

"There won't be any identification. The City is under a lockdown. And this lockdown won't be lifting anytime soon," the old man answered. 

He further stated, "Maybe people from the Royal Palace will be coming here to investigate personally. They will assign a new City Lord, and only then new Identifications will be issued."

Yunxi rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache. 

"It's all the fault of that killer. If only he hadn't killed the City Lord, there was still hope," the old man explained, letting out a tired sigh. He felt bad that he couldn't fulfill the only request from his granddaughter. 

In response to his words, Yunxi looked at Xu Shan. She knew all too well who did it. It was as if Xu Shan hit an ax on his own foot. 

Xu Shan was also taken aback. He didn't have time to waste in this city, waiting for an investigation! He had to be in the Royal City!

"Is there no other way?" he asked. 

The old man shook his head. "You can only wait. It should all be over in a few weeks."

"A few weeks is too late. This won't work," Xu Shan muttered, walking back and forth, thinking to himself. 

There were only two options for him at the start. Either love stealthily after getting identity, or force his way through the teleportation portals. 

He had selected the former method because it was caster, but in the end, he was brought back to the same place where he had to choose again. 

This time, the second option was faster, albeit more dangerous. Despite that, he made up his mind. He had to leave at any cost. 

For the rest of the day, he spent his time with the old man and Yunxi, where he gathered all the information about the City, including where the Teleportation Point was, and what kind of security it had. 

He also asked the consequences of forcing his way through. 

"No one who tried to sneak in, or force their way in had managed to survive. I can't let my granddaughter go through this!" The old man sternly refused. 

"She won't be taking any risk. She'll be passing before me, using proper means. After that, I will force my way. Even if I fail, it won't affect you two."

Xu Shan clarified. In the entire group, only he was the person who didn't have the proper method to pass through the checks. The others didn't have this problem. 

Hearing that, the old man sighed in relief. However, he soon thought of another problem.

"Even if you force your way past the guards, you can't leave. The Teleportation Point should've been sealed by now. To activate, you'd need the City Lord's Seal."

"City Lord's Seal?" Xu Shan frowned.

He raised his hand. From his storage ring, multiple rare items fell onto the table. 

He asked, "Which one of these is the seal?"

"Huh? This... This..." The old man froze. His face turned pale, looking at Xu Shan. 

All the items that were placed on the table were taken from the City Lord after he killed him. 

There was the Sword of the City Lord. The Token of the City Lord, along with the Seal of the City Lord. At the same time, there was also a bag which had coins of this world, that the City Lord always carried with him for emergencies. 

Unlike the old man, Yunxi wasn't surprised. 

"So much for the man being defamed," she sarcastically stated, amazed at Xu Shan who previously lied without a single hesitation. 

"Y-you... why do you have that?" The old man asked. He had a thought in his mind, but he refused to believe me. 

Xu Shan was the person who everyone was looking for?! This young man who was barely twenty years old was the one who took out the Royal Army and the City Lord together?

"Would you believe me if I say I found these on the streets during my morning walk?" Xu Shan asked in return.
