"Take her to the town and hand her over to the City Guards to claim the bounty!" Peter Parker floated over and whispered in Chen Fan's ear.
"Let's do it this way!" Chen Fan nodded. This was the only solution; killing her would be too wasteful!
Moreover, he couldn't keep a vampire filled with an aura of disgust by his side!
Hearing this plan, Elsa let out a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't killed on the spot, she had a way to escape. As for the kingdom's prison...
After returning to the town, Chen Fan handed Elsa over to the City Guards and successfully claimed the bounty.
The swift handling of the situation was naturally due to Emilia, and Chen Fan had also learned a bit about her identity—she was one of the five heirs of this country, a candidate for the throne.
However, such status only drew exclamations from Lai Yueang. An ordinary boy from the Island Nation still felt like a loser in this other world, gazing up at Emilia's existence.
"By the way, you should fulfill your promise!" Chen Fan yawned, his eyelids growing heavier. It had nothing to do with drowsiness; shaking his head, he continued, "Provide us with accommodation."
"Yes, a comfortable environment!"
Even though he had quite a bit of money now, Chen Fan still decided to make them fulfill their promise. Not only would it save money, but what could be better than following a royal candidate and gaining valuable information?
"Rest assured, I will fulfill the conditions I promised you!" Emilia smiled, her attitude towards Chen Fan cautious. This was influenced by Peter Parker's reminders as well as her own judgment.
This boy, even cuter than herself, possessed a power that could astonish even Peter Parker, one of the Six Elements.
"Where did that Spirit Cat go?" Lai Yueang asked curiously while being watched by the siblings.
"Peter Parker went back to rest; he's in this gem!" Emilia explained without hesitation, revealing the reason for Peter Parker's disappearance: "Because its presence consumes a lot of energy. Generally, by five in the evening, it returns to the gem to sleep and doesn't wake up until nine in the morning."
Lai Yueang nodded but remained curious. Meanwhile, Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly; this girl was truly frightening for casually sharing such information with strangers.
As evening fell, the gentle moon revealed half of its face on the horizon. At this moment, under Emilia's guidance, the group arrived at a villa provided by the kingdom for the candidates.
Upon entering the villa, they were greeted by a girl dressed as a maid.
Her light blue short hair fell over her shoulders, and her deep blue eyes scanned the room before landing on Emilia. A look of concern and dissatisfaction suddenly crossed her delicate face as she approached the young girl, her tone tinged with complaint: "Lady Emilia... please don't come back so late. Rem has been worried for a long time!"
"I'm sorry, Rem. I ran into some issues today that delayed me!" Emilia smiled apologetically and then gestured towards Chen Fan and his companions. "These are the people who helped me. To thank them, I need to provide them with food and lodging for a while."
Lai Yueang and Tang exchanged glances; even without a common language, they communicated in another dimension.
Tang: "A maid!"
Lai Yueang: "Yes, a cute maid!"
Tang Xin'er weakly tapped both of their heads; she really couldn't understand what these two were so excited about.
"Thank you all for your help with Lady Emilia," Rem said as she approached the group and politely bowed. "As for accommodations, with Lady Emilia's guarantee, my master will not overlook it. Tomorrow, I will take you all to Lord Roswaal's residence to provide you with future lodging!"
"As for tonight, please stay here for the night!"
Chen Fan nodded; he had no objections to this arrangement. He turned to the Tang siblings and instructed, "You two keep an eye on this Island Nationer; don't let him suddenly drop dead!"
If Lai Yueang were to suddenly die, it would be quite troublesome—something Chen Fan could not tolerate. If such an incident were to occur, he might just send Lai Yueang dancing in the Thunderstorm Cloud.
This language was incomprehensible to everyone else except for the three of them.
After giving his instructions, Chen Fan raised his hand and traced in the air, instantly conjuring two bolts of golden lightning that pointed towards the siblings. The golden lightning pierced their foreheads, leaving behind a mark of thunder.
"This Thunder Mark will protect you when you encounter danger!" Chen Fan said calmly. In this world, he didn't have a bunch of lackeys to command and didn't want to constantly monitor Lai Yueang to prevent him from causing trouble.
He needed to ensure the safety of the Tang Siblings, so that these capable lackeys wouldn't suddenly drop dead.
However, after hearing Chen Fan's words, the siblings looked genuinely moved. This indicated that Chen Fan had not ignored them; what could be more surprising than this news?
At least they didn't have to worry about an unexpected death in a foreign land.
"Is this ability also a kind of Blessing?" Emilia asked curiously as she watched Chen Fan conjure lightning.
"I suppose so," Chen Fan murmured, providing a vague answer.
He cast a glance at the maid-dressed girl, his gesture serving as a reminder for her not to make any strange moves.
Having mingled with the King of Assassins, Chen Fan had a keen sense of killing intent.
Although this killing intent was directed at Lai Yueang, the Island Nationer could not die just yet—at least not before Chen Fan returned to the Marvel Universe.
Lai Yueang must not die!
Rem's gaze flickered. The moment the lightning revealed itself, a suffocating pressure bore down on her—
She understood that this was a warning from the other party: do not act recklessly against that human filled with death energy.
With a complex expression, Rem shifted her gaze away from Chen Fan. Yohou sighed; Lady Emilia really brought back a troublesome group of people!
Chen Fan skipped dinner and, after finding a place to rest, fell asleep. If it weren't for any lingering effects, even after several nights without rest, his energy remained abundant.
He had already assessed the power levels in this world during daylight. Currently, the strongest person in the kingdom—or in this world—was the Sword Saint, Reinhardt, whom he had encountered once.
However, in Chen Fan's perception, while the Sword Saint was indeed strong, that strength only slightly stirred his Godslayer blood. If he were to unleash his powers, it would likely result in an instant kill.
After all, this world is still too far from the Marvel Universe. Even with the tilt of the World Will, Reinhardt is merely stronger than the people of this world.
He cannot be compared to Chen Fan, the ultimate Cheat Code.
Only a powerful world can give rise to super-evolved monsters!
And the Godslayer is the monster among monsters!
...
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight broke through, and nearly everyone in the villa was already awake.
The Tang siblings, sporting heavy dark circles under their eyes, had hardly slept at all that night. With such events unfolding, it was impossible for them to get any rest.
"Yawn!" Lai Yueang greeted the approaching siblings with a yawn.
He looked well-rested, which made the siblings chuckle lightly. It seemed that fools could always find joy even in difficult situations, and such people usually lived quite easily.
But they also died quickly!
"Hey little brother, go wake up Mr. Chen Fan. I'll prepare breakfast!" Tang Xin'er said to her younger brother. Waking up Chen Fan was something he had instructed them to do last night.
Once asleep, if there were no external influences, Chen Fan would sleep until he was fully rested. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue.
However, if he wanted to return to the Marvel Universe, Chen Fan needed to strengthen his connection with the Thunder Book.
While asleep, that connection wouldn't break but it also wouldn't strengthen.
At that moment, a voice rang out behind them, delicate and clear: "Dear guests, please proceed to the hall for your meal. Your breakfast is already prepared!"
Lai Yueang patted his cheeks, shaking off his drowsiness before turning to look behind him. The voice belonged to someone he didn't recognize, a servant from another courtyard. He nodded in acknowledgment.
"Sis? Did you understand that?" Tang Gan stood frozen in place, astonished that he could comprehend the language of this otherworldly being.
No way, am I dreaming?
Tang Xin'er nodded. Just last night, they had been unable to communicate, and now after one night, she could understand the language of this world?
She rubbed her forehead and pondered for a moment before saying, "It must be this mark that allows us to understand their language."
Aside from that, Tang Xin'er couldn't explain the sudden change.
Her assumption was correct; being able to understand the language of the otherworldly beings was indeed related to the Thunder Mark.
In simple terms, Chen Fan had imprinted the language he mastered onto their consciousness in the form of a mark. This functioned like a translator, allowing them to understand what others said but not enabling them to convey their own words back.
It was a passive additional buff.
However, even so, the siblings could not only read the characters of this world but also comprehend its spoken language, instantly elevating their understanding beyond that of Lai Yueang.
