Chapter 120: Beauty and the Beast

"Do you know that the Demonic Palace has released a criminal list? There are four people and all of them are human. They have also promised a million gold coins to whoever has any information about those four humans."

In an inn's dining hall, people were talking cheerfully when a certain man brought a new topic.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who doesn't know about the bounty issue?" said another man.

"I heard that there are three heavenly beauties in that list. Do you think the king is trying to get those girls?"

"Shhh! Don't say something like this again or when you die you won't even realise," warned another man.

Hearing the words of his companion, only then, the first man realised that he had said something forbidden. It was fortunate that no one was here from the Demonic Palace.

"So what do you think is the reason behind this bounty?" after hesitating for some time the first man asked.

"Who knows maybe you are right or maybe those humans possess an incredible treasure for the king to issue such a huge bounty," the second man said after some evaluation.

At the corner of the same hall, four people were sitting. They were looking not different from any ordinary human, there was no fluctuation of magic energy around their body.

"Looks like they have already found out about us," a black-skinned man said with a disdainful voice.

"So what? They could search all they want, but they won't find us, hmph," sneered Noor. Her face was completely different from before, completely black; it was rather ugly; completely contrary to her slim body figure. Other two also weren't any different from Noor.

At first, when Ayaan proposed his idea, no one agreed with him. Every woman cares about her beauty after all. No matter where you go this principle won't change. However, after Ayaan persuaded them for some time they agreed with him. It was just a disguise after all. It will go away later.

Furthermore, it was a technique which Leafwhisk taught to Ayaan; there was no side effect. Ayaan already had little knowledge about medicines, so when Leafwhisk taught him this method he was amazed. Because he never thought that medicines could be used for a disguise. It was one level higher king of makeup.

"Do you know the Punishment Hall Leader is personally dealing with this matter?" as Ayaan's group was talking about, a certain man's voice attracted their attention.

"Yeah, I have heard this matter. He had even destroyed the entire Pleasure house. Not even a single person left alive." whispered the other man.

Though his voice was extremely low, Ayaan's group still heard him clearly. They were completely stunned. Why did he kill those people?

"What do you think is the reason…"

"Don't talk nonsense, it isn't something we could talk about," chided the second man while looking around vigilantly.

Ayaan narrowed his eyes when he heard their conversation. Now, this was interesting. Why would he kill those men? It doesn't make any sense.

No matter how Ayaan tried to think he wasn't able to come with an explanation.

"This Punishment Hall Leader looks interesting. Let's check him out tonight," when he talked about the Punishment Hall Leader, he saw the strange unease in Rebecca's eyes. Just when he was about to ask, Noor asked in a teasing voice.

"What do you mean by checking him out tonight? When did you become this vulgar Ayaan?"

"..."

Ignoring Noor, he turned towards Rebecca before asking, "Do you have anything to say?"

Rebecca was lost in something when she heard his voice she looked towards him absentmindedly, "What?"

Ayaan sighed when saw her absentminded face. Something was definitely bothering her. Noor also understood something from her expression and didn't joke any further.

"I asked: is something bothering you?" looking tenderly in her beautiful blue eyes, Ayaan couldn't help but feel pain when he remembered her past. 

Furthermore, he was able to connect with her because his story was also similar to her. His parents were also killed by some people's greed and the same thing happened with her parents as well. Therefore, he knew how it feels to be lonely and to be betrayed.

Rebecca looked in her surroundings and saw many people and shook her head.

Ayaan immediately understood what she was thinking; therefore, he paid his bill and went to his room with three black beauties. When they stood up, everyone in the hall looked at them weirdly. They took out the ordinary after all; especially Ayaan, he was no different from charcoal.

"Are they from a Black Crow Tribe?" after the group of four disappeared, someone asked with uncertainty.

"I didn't feel any beast energy coming from them, nor did I feel any magic energy," the first person's companion asked.

"Are you pig? When someone reaches a certain level other people can't sense their aura," a woman who was sitting on the other table beside those men said disdainfully.

"Do you want to die, woman!?" anger flashed on the first man's face when he heard someone calling him a pig. However, when he turned towards the lady, he saw a rather beautiful woman which moved him hard and shut his mouth.

"Husband! He is threatening me!" without giving any chance to the man, the woman started to cry loudly.

"What the…" the man jumped in fright when he saw a woman crying.

"Hey hey, why are you crying? I am sorry, don't cry. I was just kidding," the man started to act like a gentleman when he saw beauty.

"Wuwuwu…" however, no matter what he tried, the voice of the woman continuously grow.

At last, the man lost his temper and just was about to shout when a bang sounded from not far away, silencing everyone.

However, the lady's voice increased even more and echoed in the entire hall.

After a single bang, another bang resounded then another. At last, a three-meter tall man appeared. He looked at the crying woman and an enraged expression appeared on his face, "Bastard, you dared to bully my Rabbit Darling. You must be tired of living."

Hearing the threat of the man everyone had a weird expression; even Ayaan's group which was standing on the stairs was completely stunned when they heard that man calling that woman rabbit darling.

People looked at the gorilla-like man, his face was dark, body full of muscles, his face was completely covered in hair. Afterwards, they saw a cute petite lady with soft skin, her eyes shining beautifully like a diamond while her hair was pure white. 

"How is this possible? I don't believe you!" shouted the man indignantly. Has heaven gone blind? Thought the man when he saw them in front of him.

"What do you mean by you don't believe?" a hoarse voice sounded in the hall. Only now, people realised how weird this man's voice was.

"Fuck, I don't believe such a cutie is your wife. I can't believe a gorilla-like you could pursue such beauty. Fuck, if it was this easy to get a woman's heart I would have a full harem," the man couldn't help but express the pain of his heart.

All the people who looked present in the hall nodded when they heard that man's word. How the hell this gorilla got such a cutie!? People thought so, but no one dared to open their mouths.

"How dare you insult my race, you bastard!?' Suddenly, the Gorilla man became fierce and grabbed that poor man by his neck, hanging in the air.

"What, you are real Gorilla…" before he could complete his sentence the grab on his neck tightened.

The beautiful lady who was crying went to the huge hand and grabbed his arm before saying with her teary eyes, "He was about to hit me, wuwu..."

When people saw the woman standing beside the man, they became even more speechless.

How does this look like a pair of husband and a wife? It was like a bulldozer trying to squeeze the small stones on the road.

"Do worry Rabbit Darling, I would teach him a good lesson…"

"Fuck you! I don't believe this bullshit. Why the hell am I single!?" struggled the man in the Gorilla's hand. However, no matter how he struggled, nothing worked.

Furthermore, people were speechless when they realised how desperate this man was. Some felt sympathy, some were nonchalant while some sneered disdainfully.

"Bang!"

"Aii!"

"Bang!"

"Ooo!"

Without bickering anymore with the Gorilla guy slammed the man two times on the ground. Blood painted the entire body of that man. The man let out of weird noises when he was beaten. People didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The scene was rather miserable as well as funny.

Ayaan shook his head and sighed, "It's really weird."

"Yeah, how did he pursue that cutie. They don't match in any way," said Isobel.

"Yeah, one is like a gentle lily while the other is cactus," added Rebecca.

"No, I wasn't talking about that," said Ayaan while looking weirdly at them.

"Then? Only that pair was weird in the hall. I didn't find anything else weird." blinked Noor cutely.

"I was talking about how they would do the deed. I hope that sister will be alright, " worried expression appeared on Ayaan's face.

"..."
