Chapter 701: Dinner-4
“Is it that man? Hmph, he doesn’t look like much, just forget about him and become my bride.” While speaking, the goblin looked towards Alice, and others standing with her were also getting irritated by now.
Then he extended one of his hands to take hold of Alice’s hand. He decided to use force if he had to.
Seeing his action, Alice prepared to release her flames, while Xiao was ready to cut the goblin with the blades made of blood and Sophie was about to shoot an electric bolt.
*CLAP*
But before he could even get closer to her, a loud clapping sounded that attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. The music stopped, and they all looked towards the stage where Jayden had arrived out of nowhere.
Taking a mic in his hand, Jayden first looked over everyone and, seeing that the goblin prince had stopped, he began to speak:
“Some of you might recognize me and many may not, so here is a short intro. I am Jayden, the owner of the Night Corp and the host of this dinner. Anyway, it’s time that we get started with the surprises I have prepared for all of you.”
All the guests stared at Jayden, wondering what surprises he was talking about. Nonetheless, they were excited to uncover what more this amazing party would bring forth, though the two goblin princes and the Coven vampire became careful.
“Before going to the main surprise, let me show you a little magic trick.” Jayden spoke, and the guests gave loud cheers for him.
“Keep your eyes on that man, I am going to make him disappear from between you all.” He added while pointing towards a man who was wearing a party mask. It was the Coven vampire.
The vampire wearing the mask stood there thinking what Jayden might be planning to do. He was ready to attack and kill all the people around him if necessary.
Even after knowing that Hecate is going to be there, he still came since he was indirectly taking all these important people as hostages and he had more allies around this location aside from the goblins.
“Just count to three and you will see something really amazing.” Jayden spoke without moving from the stage. He used the dream domain and enveloped all the people around without letting any of them know about it.
All the people had their gazes locked onto the masked vampire as they all moved away from him. The vampire was ready to attack at any moment. Soon they all began to count:
“ONE, TWO, THREE!!”
*WHOOSH*
Suddenly, the masked vampire’s body disappeared from the midst of the crowd and instead several dozen pigeons flew from where his body had been. All of them were amazed and hastily looked around to see from where that man would appear.
“Whoa, I have seen such things on TV and thought they must be turning off the camera, but that man actually disappeared from the middle and those pigeons appeared out of nowhere.” A reporter spoke as they live telecasted everything.
“Where is that man coming out from now? I am sure he will come out from somewhere else.” A businessman spoke; they all wanted to see the vampire appear.
“Ahem, now let us shift onto our main surprise. I hope you all liked my little trick, but the next thing is going to be much more shocking for you all.” Jayden spoke, pulling their attention back to him.
“Huh? Where is that man? Isn’t this magic complete only when that masked man reappears?” Everyone in the crowd was confused, and they chatted with each other.
While the eldest goblin prince looked around to find his helper, without a trace he had completely disappeared. The goblin was sure that he may already be dead.
“Why isn’t that man appearing back?” One of the men from the crowd asked in a loud tone, raising the question everyone wanted to ask.
“You will see him soon. Now all of you stay quiet and just watch.” Saying that, Jayden gestured, and then a big screen placed on top of the stage lit up.
Jayden stood there with his arms crossed as a live video began to play. Everyone was watching it with utmost concentration.
“Hey there, I am Xerome, the right-hand man of boss Jayden. You are all enjoying the dinner, right? Tch, this place smells so bad. Alright, I don’t want to stay here any longer, so enjoy the view.”
After Xerome spoke, the camera turned in another direction. They were still inside the Netherworld and the video was being shown live. Soon everyone in the hall saw a strange scene.
More than two thousand men were sitting in a purple-looking place. They all seemed injured and had their clothes in very bad shape.
Since the camera was moving over them, all the corpses lying to the side were also displayed. More than fifty men had already died in a very gruesome way by getting their bodies torn apart.
“W- What is all that? Is that real? Maybe some kind of movie?” A man in the hall asked. He didn’t want to believe that it was all real.
“That must be right. Maybe Night Corp is planning to create a movie. Oh god, for a moment I actually thought it was all real.”
One by one, all the people there believed that it was all just CGI. They couldn’t think of any other possibility. But there were some people in the crowd who knew that this scene was as real as it could get.
The eldest goblin prince was especially angry seeing his subordinates in that condition. All the goblins are one big family, so even though two different goblins are competing for the same throne, they would still not try to harm each other.
The eldest prince named Gorrum could tell that all of the goblins captured had gone through some kind of torture that had left them traumatized and with many injuries. He found his rage building up and just as he was about to attack Jayden, someone pulled his hand.
Looking back, Gorrum saw that it was his younger brother Thundrik. Veins were bulging all over his face as he stared at the screen. Even though those were the subordinates of his older brother, in a bigger view they were all family.
“Don’t do anything stupid. Attacking him right now would be dangerous.” Thundrik spoke. They had a few other goblins with them at the party, and all of them were feeling similar rage as they stared at the screen.
Then suddenly Xerome jumped in front of the screen, and after clearing his throat, he began to speak:
“If you are confusing this scene with some kind of movie, then you are completely wrong, since this is happening right now.” Xerome said, but still, the people couldn’t believe that such a brutal scene was real. Rather, they just didn’t want to believe it.
“I guess words aren’t enough to make you all believe. All of you look to your left, now.” Just as he spoke, everyone turned their heads to look to the left side.
