Death Guns In Another World

''Are you convinced now, or do you wish for another confirmation?" Alex's voice echoed through the bar; it was so strong that a few glasses fell above and shattered into the ground.

Riley, who was hiding chuckled, she didn't respond to Alex's question, almost as if she still wished to continue to test him; no, it was really what she wanted; she licked her lips and tried to turn in the bartender's direction as if to give an instruction.

It happened at that moment, Alex who should be at the other end of the room Accel-ed to reappear before her; however, it was not Alex's speed that shocked Riley, what shocked was the fact Alex exactly knew where she hid, which should have been normally impossible, she might not be strong as a Saint, but she was not far from that level. Most importantly, she possessed a skill that made her stand, a concealment skill that not even normal Saint could detect after she used it; it was thanks to this skill she was able to survive for so long; however, now this skill was proven to be useless before this strange-looking hornless demon.

Alex's right fist glowed crimson, the air cracked, and without hesitation, he threw a punch in Riley's direction; everything happened too fast; for the first time, the succubus queen showed fear, it was then bartender moved. As he had said, he would gladly give his life for Riley; however, he doubted this young hornless demon could go against him; this absolute confidence came from the fact that he was a Saint.

Full of confidence, Gregor, the bartender, also threw a punch forward, two fists collided, time seemed to have momentarily stopped and then. 

Boom! 

Gregor was blasted back; his body punched the bar's wall to appear outside; he lay powerlessly on the ground coughing blood; that arm he used to defend against Alex's punch was bent in an odd angle. Gregor's figure at the moment was extremely sorry; he couldn't believe that he had lost in the contest of strength; this could only mean one thing, this man was stronger than him.

The passing demons only glanced at Gregor and ran away after knowing who he was and which faction he belonged. There are three factions in this city: The succubus queen faction, the Mad King faction, and the Lone Wolf faction. No matter which faction, it was better not to mess up with their members if you wish to live longer.

''Wait, wait, I accept your offer,'' Riley shouted after seeing Alex calmly walk toward the fallen Gregor; his intention could not be more obvious; if he were left alone, he would try to finish her most loyal man, and this was something she couldn't allow, losing Gregor would mean losing her standing in this town. If she didn't immediately arrange things, the other Kings would try to take advantage of the current situation and get rid of her, something she could never let happen. 

Alex's lips curved into a smile, and he tossed two Imperial crimson dragon coins at Riley, who caught it and sighed. 

''How is the princess?" Riley couldn't help but ask this as she guided Alex underground. 

Alex snorted, ''Do not ask an unnecessary question and do what you have been paid to do.'' 

''Grr! You-" 

''Shut up, Gregor!'' Riley admonished Gregor when she saw him want to stand for him. Both knew that neither was Alex's match, so better not provoke this man. Sometimes, Riley had the feeling that Alex deliberately provoked them to see their reactions. 

''You know the Stryrix River would be under surveillance, even so, you wished to pass through it?" Riley asked; it was not like she was trying to provoke Alex, but she was trying to build a connection with him; having such a talented demon as a friend can be beneficial in the future, Alex possessed strength, for such a person showing good faith by letting some information slip was a good thing, even though he knew beforehand about this information, it would show that you want to build a good relationship with him so the other if wise would not let go of such opportunity.

Not many know about the mysterious river that traverses the whole demon's realm (another name of the demon's continent); it went without saying that the royal family knew about it, so they must have ordered for blockages to be placed all around the Stryrix River not to let the intruder pass through. 

''I already know that, but thanks for the information; you just have to make him pass as for the remaining things, I will deal with them myself,'' Alex said and looked forward to the appearance of the Stryrix River, he wondered if it was the same as the underworld river, the one governed by Hades but he doubts it was the case. 

Riley nodded her head and continued to walk deeper into the underground of Z'torr city, and soon, the group stopped by an ancient-looking door; behind this door was the Stryrix River. 

Riley placed something against the door, then a rumbling sound could be heard, and the giant door was opened. 

The group walked forward, passing through the giant door; what greeted them was endless mist; thanks to Alex's sight, he could see a dark river covered in endless mist; this must be the Stryrix River, Alex speculated, and indeed it was right.

Riley whistled, and from the other side, a ferryman appeared on an old-looking boat; this ferryman had a cap covering its head. 

''To the end!" 

If it was some kind of code Alex didn't know, he calmly watched Riley give one imperial crimson coin and a pouch to the ferryman, then the ferryman announced.

''Let's go.'' 

Immediately, Alex jumped on the ferry; he only glanced at Riley before shifting his gaze forward. Riley and Gregor waited until the ferryman and Alex disappeared from their sights before Gregor raised a question. 

''Mistress, why do you follow that man's wish? You should have refused if you want.'' Gregor couldn't understand. 

''Sigh! A revolution is about to happen. I must be on the winner side you will understand in the future.'' Riley answered while thinking about the storm that was about to fall on the Asura empire with Lilith's appearance; she had already gambled on her survival once, so she saw no need not to gamble on her again, thought Riley.
