329: Chapter 329: Can’t Save?

As Huang Xiaolong and his companion entered the restaurant and made their way to the second floor, they did not expect to run into the restaurant owner.

The owner’s expression shook violently upon seeing Huang Xiaolong, his eyes widened in shock, a look of extreme excitement on his face.

His voice trembled, hardly able to believe what he saw, “You, you are Young Master Huang?!”

Although Huang Xiaolong had left the Luotong Kingdom for many years and had not been to this Delicious Restaurant, the owner recognized him at a glance.

Others he might not remember, but how could he possibly forget Huang Xiaolong!

Huang Xiaolong, the legendary figure who had represented the Luotong Kingdom in the battle at Broken Blade Empire Imperial City and clinched first place, how could he ever forget him!

After Huang Xiaolong won first place in the battle at Broken Blade Empire Imperial City, the news spread back to the Luotong Kingdom, and the whole country celebrated.

King Lu Zhe himself proclaimed the victory and celebrated for three entire days!

Moreover, the restaurant owner knew that Huang Xiaolong was someone to whom even the Kingdom Marshal Hao Tian had shown great respect.

Huang Xiaolong saw the extreme excitement on the owner’s face, nodded with a smile, and had not expected the restaurant owner to still recognize him.

Seeing that it really was Huang Xiaolong, the owner became even more excited; he immediately tried to kneel before Huang Xiaolong to pay his respects.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaolong waved his left hand, gesturing for him to stand and shaking his head, his eyes conveying a message.

Upon catching Huang Xiaolong’s gaze, the owner instantly understood that he did not want others to know his identity.

He stood up, but even so, he was still extremely respectful, bowing deeply, personally leading Huang Xiaolong and his companion to a private room and asking what they would like to order.

The others in the restaurant, seeing how the owner acted even more subservient than a servant before Huang Xiaolong, were also greatly surprised.

A short while later, the restaurant owner respectfully left.

While Huang Xiaolong was waiting for the owner to serve the meals, suddenly, a noisy commotion erupted outside the restaurant.

Huang Xiaolong looked out the second-floor window and saw groups of commoners heading in the same direction.

At this moment, a conversation from a nearby table could be heard.

“Let’s hurry up and eat, then go to the main entrance of the Royal Palace to watch the drama.” one person said.

“I didn’t expect it, for Prince Lu Kai to end up in such a miserable plight,” another person shook his head.

Prince Lu Kai?

Huang Xiaolong was momentarily startled upon hearing this.

What happened?

“Young Master Huang, here are the drinks and dishes you ordered.” Just then, the owner returned, personally bringing the drinks and dishes that Huang Xiaolong had ordered.

The owner carefully placed each dish on Huang Xiaolong’s table.

“What happened to Lu Kai?” Huang Xiaolong asked gravely.

The restaurant owner was taken aback and hesitated.

Everyone in the Imperial City knew of the deep friendship between the former Prince Lu Kai and Huang Xiaolong, and certainly, he was aware too.

“Speak.” Huang Xiaolong’s expression turned cold, releasing a terrifying pressure that enveloped the entire restaurant.

The noisy establishment instantly fell silent, all eyes filled with fear.

And the restaurant owner, even more terrified, fell to his knees.

“Young Master Huang,” the owner said, his face pale and forehead beading with cold sweat, looking at Huang Xiaolong with fright.

Seeing the state of the owner, Huang Xiaolong’s terrifying pressure receded like a tide, his expression softened, and he said, “Get up first.”

The owner quickly stood up, then with a respectful demeanor and a somewhat trembling voice, he told Huang Xiaolong the whole story.

The more Huang Xiaolong listened, the darker his expression became.

In the end, the restaurant owner was horrified to discover that the dishes and wine, freshly served and still steaming hot on Huang Xiaolong’s table, had suddenly become covered with layers of white ice.

Now, in the sunny March, it was unexpectedly icing over!

After the restaurant owner had finished explaining everything, his throat was dry and itchy.

He stood there, not daring to move.

The whole affair, in reality, boiled down to Prince Lu Kai’s brother, Lu Jing, aspiring to seize the throne.

He took the Sect Leader of the Wind God Sect as his master and conspired with him to gain control over King Lu Zhe.

This led to King Lu Zhe revoking Prince Lu Kai’s title and imprisoning him in the jail.

They even declared to the world that today they would push Prince Lu Kai out of the main gate of the Royal Palace for beheading!

“How much longer until the execution?” After a while, Huang Xiaolong looked at the restaurant owner and asked.

The restaurant owner glanced at the sky and said, “There should be one more hour.”

One hour.

Huang Xiaolong stood up, preparing to leave with Giant Ghost Feng Yang.

Seeing this, the restaurant owner mustered up the courage and approached, saying, “Young Master Huang, I know you want to save Prince Lu Kai, but the two of you won’t be able to contend with the tens of thousands of Royal Palace guards.

When the time comes, not only will you not be able to save Prince Lu Kai, but you will also lose your own life.”

After Huang Xiaolong brought his family to the Broken Blade Empire, Marshal Haotian, holding the position of Marshal, also arrived not long after and followed the Huang Family closely.

Therefore, now, Huang Xiaolong was without any help.

To the restaurant owner, rescuing Prince Lu Kai with just the two of them seemed utterly impossible.

Although he was also aware that Huang Xiaolong had participated in the war at Broken Blade Imperial City, claimed the first prize, and made a breakthrough to the Innate realm, this, nevertheless, would not enable him to rescue Lu Kai.

Huang Xiaolong looked at the restaurant owner and smiled, “Risk my own life?” He knew the restaurant owner meant well, so he was not angry.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong did not seem to care, the restaurant owner seriously said, “Indeed, I know Young Master Huang has broken through to Innate, but besides the numerous Royal Palace guards, the person in charge of overseeing Prince Lu Kai’s beheading is said to be a Peak of Innate Second Stage expert.”

“Peak of Innate Second Stage?” Huang Xiaolong was surprised.

A minor Luotong Kingdom had such a high-level expert?

The restaurant owner nodded and said, “Yes, he’s a high-ranking member of the Wind God Sect and also Lu Jing’s senior brother, named He Hui.”

So, it was someone from the Wind God Sect, Huang Xiaolong thought.

He did not know where this Wind God Sect had sprung from, but the restaurant owner was also oblivious to it.

Regardless of where they came from, the Wind God Sect was destined to be eradicated.

“Heat the dishes and wine again.

After I rescue my brother, we’ll come back and drink together,” Huang Xiaolong said to the restaurant owner with a smile, pointing at the food and drinks on the table.

The restaurant owner was stunned and had not yet grasped the meaning behind Huang Xiaolong’s words when Huang Xiaolong and Giant Ghost Feng Yang’s figures flashed and vanished into thin air right before him.

The restaurant owner watched dumbfounded at the spot where Huang Xiaolong and his companion had just been standing, now empty, and after a long while, he shook his head, muttering to himself, “I hope Young Master Huang has good luck and can get away.”

He did not believe Huang Xiaolong could really rescue Lu Kai from the Execution Ground.

At this moment, the main gate of the Royal Palace was slowly opened, and Prince Lu Kai, bound in iron chains, was slowly escorted out by Royal Palace guards to the middle of the square in front of the main gate.

The square was tightly surrounded by squadrons of guards.

The common folk of the Royal City, who had come to watch the excitement, stood at a distance from the square, discussing and pointing, shaking their heads in pity, or taking delight in the misfortune with various reactions.
