Chapter 355 The Lotus

The deaths of the two nobles were instantaneous. In one move, Eva killed them, leaving them no chance. Eva was much stronger and faster than them, it was not difficult for her.

"What did you do...you sick bitch!" Shouted the remaining girl and ran away. She was scared, she knew she couldn't even scratch Eva.

Eva looked at her but didn't chase after her.

Crackle.

The fleeing girl suddenly crashed into someone and fell to her feet from the collision.

"Idiot! Are you blind!" She exclaimed and looked up.

In front of her stood a tall man in a dark blue cape, with a sly smirk.

"No, I can see just fine." Wain muttered, and behind him appeared the phantom tail of an ancient serpent.

It came down on the girl like a whip and sliced her in half. Blood and pieces of flesh flew apart, splattering the streets, the walls of houses, and some of the nobles.

They were shocked that someone in the middle of the Rose District would dare to kill. To them, it was a mortal sin, for the sacred Statue of the Hero was here.

"Who are you?! Strangers!" The nobles exclaimed.

They looked at Wain and Eva with contempt and anger. The nobles thought they were under attack or assassins had infiltrated their city. They prepared for battle, and the central square was filled with a great deal of concentrated energy.

"Eva, they didn't seem to like your actions very much. It was worth it." Wain said, looking at the slain nobles beside Eva.

"Yes. I hate bastards like them, pompous turkeys who take their anger out on the weak and defenseless."

"Hmm, they're serious and aren't going to back down." Wain muttered, "In that case, we should raise the stakes."

Wain cut his palm and moved sharply closer to Eva. Drops of blood from his wound fell into his mouth, and her eyes changed.

She smiled wickedly, and her aura multiplied. Several spears of bloody ash erupted from the ground and headed toward the nobles.

They prepared to defend themselves, but suddenly a massive lotus appeared in the center of the battle and completely engulfed the attack.

"What is that?"

Everyone looked up and saw a man coming down. He was practically walking on air, with a lotus petal appearing beneath his feet like a ladder with each step he took.

He had short purple hair and dark, deep eyes. He was dressed in a white, long robe.

"It's Felix the Fallen Lotus!" One of the nobles exclaimed.

"Great! Now we shall surely be rid of these strangers who think they are gods here! We mustn't let them do whatever they want!"

"Ah, it was so quiet here, but now I can hear some pig squealing." Felix muttered, and a phantom lotus appeared on the screaming nobleman's body.

The man shuddered in horror, "Mr. Felix, what are you doing...!"

"Shut up..." Felix muttered, and the bud exploded. The man's body was blown apart, and it instilled even more terror in the nobles than from Wain and Eva.

'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',

"Looks like we've met someone serious." Wain muttered.

"Yes." Eva nodded.

She was focused and watching Felix closely. He lowered himself leisurely and headed toward them. He had a sleepy look and a relaxed gait. He did not care at all that he had killed a nobleman.

The arrogant nobles looked at him with awe and fear. They were nothing in front of him, for Felix was the head of the Fallen Lotus Family and was considered by many to be the strongest in the city, on a par with Leon.

Step.

Felix stopped and looked at Feno, who was still lying on the ground.

"It's been a long time since a commoner has been here." Felix's gaze fell on the slain nobles, "You've been mistreated, but they got what they deserved."

Eva grew wary and approached Feno, covering him.

"Don't worry. I won't fight you or hurt him. I share your position, unfortunately many nobles in the Rose District do not live up to their status. It's a big problem." Felix said slowly.

"Then what do you want?" Wain asked.

"To talk. I want to talk. I know you were at the Scarlet Rose Family Manor recently and must have met Leon, he intuitively senses strong people."

"You want to win us over to your side?" Wain smirked.

"Maybe." Felix shrugged, "I'm not sure and will decide when I get to know you a little better. Until then, I haven't had any contact with the humans yet." Felix said it quietly enough that only Wain and Eva could hear it.

"I don't mind. We don't have anything to do yet anyway. I think this conflict is quite ambiguous, but it's not just up to me."

Wain and Felix looked at Eva.

"I'll go with you, but only on one condition. We won't leave Feno here. Apparently, in the Rose District, even the main square is not a safe place for ordinary people." Eva said seriously.

"Sure, no problem. This boy can stay at the Fallen Lotus Family Manor for as long as he wants."

"Good, then let's hit the road."

"Wait!" Feno said, suddenly rising from the ground.

"Hmm?"

"I appreciate your hospitality, but I can't leave here until I get this!" Feno pointed to a book on the shelf behind the storefront.

"You want to go to the store, now?" Felix muttered, staring intently at Feno. His gaze was calm but deep.

Feno nodded confidently.

"Huh, that's funny, but your courage and determination should be rewarded. Okay, I'll wait for you here, but you only have five minutes." Felix said, yawning and closing his eyes.

A huge lotus appeared from beneath the ground, which, like a cocoon, engulfed Felix. The lotus soared above the ground and hovered in the air.

"Not bad, and by its looks, it can fly. Okay, we don't have much time. Feno, what do you want to buy?"

"A recipe book!" Feno said confidently.

"Hmm? Are you going to cook? Is that your profile?"

"It's not a cookbook, it's an alchemy book. It has recipes for making various pills and potions."
