The sound of wheels clattering echoed as three luxurious carriages suddenly halted at the edge of the grand formation near the imperial capital. Attended by several eager coachmen, three portly and spirited wealthy merchants stepped out of their respective carriages, followed by numerous attendants and family members, resembling travelers on an outing with their families, exuding an air of extravagance.
In order to enter the imperial capital, individuals without an official title of at least a count or those who are not top-tier experts at a high level or members of the royal family must walk instead of riding in carriages. Thus, before the grand formation protecting the capital, these merchants without titles dismounted to show their respect.
These three groups hailed from different cities within the Dysia Kingdom and arrived simultaneously at the capital. Since they were not well acquainted with each other, the leading merchants exchanged polite smiles before leading their respective families and attendants toward the formation.
Seeing their masters depart, the coachmen and attendants hurriedly returned to their carriages, waiting for the agreed time to come back for them.
Buzzing!
After verifying their identities with Identity Tokens, three entrances appeared, allowing the groups to enter the Southern Gate of the Imperial Capital. They maintained a distance from one another as they headed toward the South City Gate.
Among the last group was a wealthy merchant dressed in finery, with a round face and shifty eyes. Accompanying him were two young individuals, one male and one female. The male was tall and unremarkable in appearance, while the female resembled a moving mountain of flesh, her body jiggling as she walked, exuding an imposing presence.
Trailing behind them was an Eagle-Eyed Elder with graying hair. Though he appeared frail and weak, his eyes sparkled with a sharpness that resembled a gleaming steel blade, instilling a sense of caution in those around him.
“Nephew, we are about to enter the city,” said the cunning merchant suddenly turning to look at the Tall Young Man beside him as they approached the city gate. A hint of intriguing amusement flickered in his eyes.
“Oh.” The Tall Young Man smiled faintly and nodded before softly replying, “Uncle need not worry; as long as I can enter the city as desired, I will deliver the other half of the reward without hesitation.”
“Very good; Nephew is indeed a sensible person.”
The Rotund Merchant nodded with a smile but inadvertently glanced at his Precious Daughter. Their eyes met briefly, sparking a moment of realization within him. As he scrutinized his eloquent Nephew once more, an unexpected thought emerged from deep within him that startled even himself.
"I, Fu Dafu, am also a prominent figure in White Sparrow City, possessing Intermediate Level 5 strength. The Fortune Pavilion I manage is a major force that earns money daily. However, I have no children, only this one Precious Daughter.
Unfortunately, my daughter has grown rather robust. A few years ago, I went to great lengths to find a husband for her and spent quite a bit of money to bring one in. Who would have thought that before the wedding, the Sickly Son-in-Law would suddenly pass away?
My Wealthy Family has a Clan Lineage with noble Bloodline and a glorious ancestry. Now, this cheap Nephew who has suddenly appeared from who knows where is also a clan member. Observing his strength, he is not weak; at his age, he has already reached Intermediate Level. I wonder which branch of the family he comes from. With such Qualification, he is indeed worthy of my daughter.
Bloodline, Qualification, and looks are one thing, but it seems this young man also possesses some assets, which is the most important factor." Fu Dafu's eyes gradually brightened as he looked at the Tall Young Man beside him with a friendlier gaze. He felt that this was a son-in-law being delivered to him on a silver platter. If he did not seize this opportunity, who knew when his Precious Daughter would be able to marry?
The Tall Young Man was clearly aware of being gazed at so eagerly and wondered if this wealthy man was simply thinking about the reward for his daughter. He never considered that the other party had intentions of making him the son-in-law.
"Truly a greedy Fellow," he thought to himself as he curled his lips in disdain. This subtle gesture was strikingly similar to someone else’s, and if one were to examine his eyes closely, the familiar feeling would grow even stronger.
This Tall Young Man was none other than Bu.
After using Water God Transformation, not only had his appearance changed dramatically, but he had also been intentionally made taller by several inches, and even his aura had undergone slight changes.
To sneak into the city without being noticed by Day was essential; disguising himself and adopting a new identity was unavoidable. Bu had already received news from Reynold that the Southern Gate of the Imperial Capital was completely guarded by Day members. Trying to enter the city under the watchful eyes of so many Day Members at South Gate would be exceedingly difficult.
If he were to go around to another gate to enter the city, given the vast area of the Imperial Capital, even if he took a carriage, it would take half a day just to travel there. Plus, after entering the city, heading towards the southern area would take another half day. Bu did not want to deal with such trouble.
In fact, in his current guise, even Day Members who had only seen his portrait or those familiar with him like Reynold would not recognize him. Only Eve, who had also learned Water God Technique, might be able to identify him. The reason he needed to cautiously use Fu Dafu's cover to enter the city was due to concerns that gatekeepers might check Identity Tokens once inside.
Aside from an Iron Xuan Token representing his status as a student of Holy Light Academy, Bu had no other Identity Tokens. Without an Identity Token, he could not even pass through the National Defense Array, let alone enter the city.
If the Iron Xuan Token is taken out in front of the Day Member, the information within the token can be easily scanned. It contains detailed records of Brent's name and student identity information.
