BXBX NOVEL Chapter 967: Young Prince Karyk
Chapter 967: Young Prince Karyk
The entire place was completely silent, and that silence was only broken when Karyk spoke. Qien was lying on his knees, his eyes staying close in fear. It was only when he heard Karyk\'s voice coming from right beside him, he slowly opened his eyes. As he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that the entire place was completely empty. The gang members weren\'t there anymore. Even the body of the person killed was not there. All signs of blood were also erased, as if nothing like that ever took place. Qien felt like he was going crazy. Was this all an illusion? No! He was certain that this was the reality! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
This place was one where he had promised to meet the gang members that paid him. If they were here, the gang should have been there as well. "Did you... kill them?" His voice was trembling when he asked the question. "What do you think?" Karyk asked in return before grabbing Qien by his collar and helping him up. "If you don\'t want to join them in the afterlife, you would listen to me, right?"
"I-i will do everything you ask! Just let me live!" Qien begged, his eyes wide with fear. Karyk released his grip and studied Qien for a moment before speaking, "Good. Then guide me to the person who informed you about my involvement in theft."
Qien did not know if Karyk was actually going to let him live or not. Still, he wanted to give it his all. He did not want to be killed in the most brutal of ways. If he had known that something like this was going to happen, he was certain he would have said no to this plan. "T-this way..." He quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead. He took one last glance at the place where a person had died, reminding himself that it could be him if he made a mistake.
Karyk followed the young man. Although he had to kill a few people, he had received a lot out of it. He was able to test his abilities and confirm that nothing was wrong with them. He also had a proper informant. Now he didn\'t have to beat around the bush to find answers. ....
In the inner city, there existed a Royal Palace. The Palace was the most protected space inside the City. It was the place where the Rulers of the city lived. It was also the place where the young prince of the Civilization lived. The young prince was cherished by his parents to the point that they didn\'t even allow him to leave the palace, worried that he might get hurt. In the entire city, there was no one who could even care to hurt the prince. Since, the Emperor was overprotective of his son. "Soon, my baby Karyk will be ten years old. Time moves so fast. It feels like just yesterday, you were born."
In a room, decorated most lavishly, a beautiful woman sat on the bed. She was cupping the face of a young boy that stood before her, also dressed in a Royal Attire. "What gift do you want for your birthday?" the woman asked her son. "I want to go out and see the city." The young boy said without hesitation. He had always heard the stories about the world outside this Palace. He even heard a few maids talk about such things when they thought he wasn\'t listening. He had always wanted to leave the palace, but he was never allowed. "This..." The queen mother was stumped for words. "Ask for anything else, and your mother will make it happen. But it is dangerous outside. If you are hurt, I will never be able to forgive myself."
"I won\'t be hurt! I am a grown man!" The young boy pouted. "Mother, please...?"
"How about it? When you turn twenty, I will take you out myself?" The Mother asked. She didn\'t like disappointing her son either, but she could not agree to this either. Even if she was to agree, she knew that her husband would not agree. Even though this was their city, they knew that there were many hidden enemies there. Everyone knew that the prince was their weakness. If someone found out that the Prince was outside the Palace, it could really become dangerous. The Prince lowered his head. "Alright. I will go back to my room." He was truly disappointed, already having an answer. They were never going to allow him. "Wait, you didn\'t tell me what other gift you want?" The Mother asked. "I\'ll be fine with anything." The young boy left the room, accompanied by the maids. Outside the room, the young boy remained silent. However, a lot of thoughts filled his mind. \'Mother thinks I am weak. I will leave the palace myself and prove to mother that I\'m not weak when I return in the morning!\'

In another corner of the city, Qien knocked on the door. An old man opened the door. A happy smile spread across his lips as he saw Qien standing outside the door. "Qien, it\'s you! I suppose you have already succeeded? You must be here to give me the promised reward!" "I\'m not sure about the promised reward, but I am definitely here to give you a reward." Another man\'s voice came from behind Qien. Before the old man could react, he saw Karyk in front of him. His throat was grabbed as Karyk pushed the old man inside the house. Qien also entered the house and closed the door behind him. ....
Half an hour later, the door closed and Karyk stepped out of the place with Qien. "Which one is my house?" he asked Qien. Qien pointed towards the neighboring house that had a lock on the door. Karyk had already checked his pockets but he couldn\'t find anything that was stolen. He didn\'t know where that thing was hidden but he believed only that house could give him a clue. He was convinced that the mystery of the past revolved around the thing he had stolen.
