Chapter 833 The Paladins
The other people’s faces changed when they heard his words. Their main purpose of coming to the Sun-never-set Empire this time was to protect the Holy Virgin, which was more important than anything else.
Being old rivals who had fought with each other for many years, they also knew very well that the Dark World did not show its full strength. If this was really a trap, they had to be careful.
Another paladin, Bergkamp, said, “Alex, what should we do?”
Alex responded, “Let’s do it like this. I’ll go with Jankovic and Valderrama. You’ll wait in the Duke’s Manor and be ready in full battle array.
“If the dark council attacks, you can send out a distress signal immediately, and we’ll immediately go back to help.”
Everyone nodded in unison, feeling that this plan was not bad. Thus, Alex went to the west with the Pontifex Maximus and Paladin Jankovic, leading more than 10 members of the Divine Court.
When they were on the way, Alex’s expression changed drastically. “What’s going on? Why can’t I sense the force of Anthony’s Scared Six-lights Star?”
This was definitely abnormal, because the Scared Six-lights Star was a holy weapon of the Divine Court. She had a connection with it, and they were able to find the lost Scared Six-lights Star because of that connection.
It was no exaggeration to say that as long as the Scared Six-lights Star was still on earth, the Divine Court could find it and create a Pontifex Maximus.
But now, something strange happened. The Pontifex Maximus, which she could still sense just now, suddenly disappeared.
Valderrama said, “It’s true. I also can’t find its position.”
Jankovic said, “Let’s go to the place where it disappeared anyway.”
They immediately quickened their pace and soon arrived at the villa rented by Qin Haodong.
Hulk and Heman had always been by Alex’s side. They had also clearly heard about Anthony’s disappearance. So when they arrived at the villa, they did not hesitate to kick down the door.
Qin Haodong and Lev were sitting in the courtyard and drinking tea. After these people came in, Lev jumped up from his seat and said, “What are you doing? Don’t you know that this is a private villa? It is illegal to invade!”
Valderrama shouted, “Don’t talk nonsense. Hurry up and hand over Anthony and the Scared Six-lights Star, or none of you will survive!”
In his opinion, since Anthony and the Scared Six-lights Star both disappeared from this position, it naturally had something to do with the owner of this place.
Just then, Qin Haodong stood up and said to them, “Anthony? Scared Six-lights Star? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“It’s you?”
Alex didn’t expect to meet Qin Haodong here. She looked extremely surprised.
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Miss Alex, it’s me. What are you doing here so late at night?”
“We’re here to look for someone.” Alex’s tone was much gentler than Valderrama’s, at least it was less overbearing.
“A friend of mine suddenly disappeared. He’s a middle-aged man in a red suit. He’s easy to recognize, and there’s a Scared Six-lights Star hanging from his neck. I wonder if you’ve seen him.”
Of course, Qin Haodong would not admit that Anthony had died in his place. He shook his head and said, “My friend and I have been sitting here drinking tea. We’ve never seen anyone else or the so-called Scared Six-lights Star.”
Seeing all this, Lev was secretly amazed. He didn’t know how his master did it. The other party couldn’t sense the Scared Six-lights Star even though they were standing right there.
“Uh…”
For a moment, Alex didn’t know what to do. From the bottom of her heart, she had a good impression of Qin Haodong and was willing to trust him, but Anthony had disappeared from here.
However, Valderrama pointed at Qin Haodong’s nose and shouted, “Boy, don’t play dumb with us! Anthony disappeared from this position. How could you not know? I guess you’re probably the murderer of Anthony.”
Jankovic also said, “I don’t care who you are, but the Pontifex Maximus of our Divine Court was lost here. You can’t afford this sin. Hurry up and hand over the man and the Scared Six-lights Star and we can deal with you lightly.”
Qin Haodong frowned and said, “Is the Pontifex Maximus very powerful?”
Valderrama said, “Of course! I advise you not to play dumb.”
Qin Haodong said, “That’s not right. I’m just an ordinary doctor. Since the Pontifex Maximus is so powerful, why do you suspect me of killing him? Do you think I have that ability?”
Alex said, “I met Doctor Qin on the plane. He’s indeed an outstanding Chinese medicine practitioner. Did we make a mistake?”
Valderrama said firmly, “Miss Alex, don’t let your eyes be blinded by this person’s appearance. Anthony’s force disappeared from here.
“There’s only one person living in the vicinity, and I don’t believe that it has nothing to do with him.”
His status had always been inferior to that of the young and promising Alex, so he was extremely unconvinced. This time, he finally seized the right opportunity, so he naturally did not hold back.
“Uh…”
Alex didn’t know what to say. Although she really wanted to help Qin Haodong, the missing Pontifex Maximus was not a small matter.
Moreover, she could not find a suitable explanation for Anthony’s disappearance.
There was a flash of pride on Valderrama’s face as he said to Qin Haodong, “Hurry up and hand him over, or we’ll start searching.”
Jankovic said aggressively, “Anthony disappeared from here, so you must be a suspect. If you can’t hand him over today, you will bear all the consequences.”
He had a very good relationship with Alex. One of them was the youngest Pontifex Maximus, and the other was the youngest Paladin. In the Divine Court, they were known as the golden boy and jade girl.
However, for some reason, when he saw Alex speaking up for this handsome Huaxia man, he felt an inexplicable sense of jealousy in his heart. Naturally, he would not treat Qin Haodong kindly.
“Search? Hand him over?”
Qin Haodong said with a gloomy face, “You want to search my private residence without any evidence? Isn’t that a bit unreasonable? How can the people of the Divine Court be so insolent?”
Valderrama said, “That’s right. We can do whatever we want, because we have the strength.”
He had always been arrogant and had never taken ordinary people seriously. And by this time, he had gradually lost his patience.
“Since you can do whatever you want, then I can speak frivolously too.” Qin Haodong pointed to Jankovic and Valderrama and said, “I think you two have stolen one billion dollars from me. Hand it over to me now.”
When he finished speaking, the people of the Divine Court were stunned. “Who is this guy? Does he have a mental problem? How dare he talk to a Paladin and the Pontifex Maximus of the Divine Court like that?”
After a moment of shock, Valderrama came to his senses and shouted angrily, “Let’s see how strong you are, Huaxia man.”
Then he made the sign of the cross in front of his chest, raised his hand, and shot a holy light at Qin Haodong.
In his opinion, although this holy light did not require all his strength, it could definitely make the Huaxia man in front of him suffer a little.
But what he didn’t expect was that Qin Haodong would just stretch out his hand and swat it away gently. Then the invincible holy light disappeared in the air, as if it had never even been there.
This time, everyone was stunned. As he was able to easily neutralize the attack of the Pontifex Maximus, this young man wasn’t just bragging. He did indeed have some strength.
Even Alex was shocked. She didn’t expect that Qin Haodong was not only excellent in medical skills, but also so powerful.
Jankovic’s expression turned serious. “No wonder he could kill Pontifex Maximus Anthony. It turns out that he is a warrior of Huaxia. Let me see how powerful your kung fu is.”
First, he talked up Qin Haodong, but then he was ready to kill him. For some reason, he always felt that Alex treated this Huaxia person differently from others.
Just as he was about to make a move, a loud shout suddenly was heard. “Boy, what qualifications do you have to provoke my boss?”
While the sun was setting, another group of people came to the front of the villa. These people were extremely fast, almost as fast as lightning. It was a group of people from Daddy Security Company. The one leading the way was Ma Wenzhuo.
Everyone entered the villa. Qin Haodong looked at Pony, and his expression changed slightly. “You broke through so quickly?”
Ma Wenzhuo said proudly, “Boss, I’m sorry. I just made a temporary breakthrough. I arrived a little late.”
It turned out that they had made an appointment to come to the Sun-never-set Empire together. But as soon as they got off the plane, Ma Wenzhuo felt that he was about to make a breakthrough. So he found a remote mountain area to break through, then he rushed here with his men.
The expressions of the people from the Divine Court changed when they saw more than 30 people suddenly join them. They could tell from the speed of Ma Wenzhuo and the others that these people were all quite strong.
Ma Wenzhuo turned to Jankovic and said, “Hey big guy, what qualifications do you have to fight with our boss? I’ll play with you.”
He had just broken through to the Saint Realm, so he was eager to show off his power. In addition, this guy dared to be rude to Qin Haodong, so he naturally wouldn’t be polite to him. After saying that, he threw a punch.
As a Paladin of the Divine Court, Jankovic naturally wouldn’t back down. He also threw a punch. His fist was wrapped in rich holy light, full of power.
In the blink of an eye, their fists collided. And with a loud bang, the huge air blast forced the people around to retreat.
Jankovic was the strongest Paladin. According to the cultivation level of the Huaxia warriors, he had already touched the threshold of the middle stage of the Saint Realm, but he had not broken through yet.
However, Ma Wenzhuo’s strength was also very formidable. Although he had just broken through to the Saint Realm, with the help of the Kylin Genius, he was not inferior in strength to Jankovic.
In light of this punch, it was clear that the two of them were evenly matched, and they both took three or four steps back.
This time, the expressions of the people from the Divine Court all changed, including the shocked expressions of Alex and Valderrama.
They were almost supreme beings in the Divine Court. They had always been proud and arrogant. Except for the Divine King, they didn’t take anyone seriously. But they didn’t expect that the man in front of them would be so powerful.
Jankovic didn’t gain any advantage. He suddenly felt that he had lost face in front of Alex. After a roar, he rushed up again and fought with Ma Wenzhuo.
Their level of strength was similar, so it was hard to tell who would win.
This time, the faces of the people from the Divine Court became even gloomier. Jankovic was the most powerful one on their side, but he couldn’t gain any advantage at all.
Valderrama said, “Alex, let’s do it together.”
