Heavenly Harem Sect

Chapter 147 Trouble

As Daniel, Cecilia, Mecil, and Marie prepared to leave the exclusive area of the city where the rich and privileged resided, they were unexpectedly stopped by a group of stern-looking security guards.

The 2 suns cast long shadows, adding a layer of tension to the situation.

The leader of the guards stepped forward, his demeanour rigid.

“Hold on, please. We have received a complaint from Lord Harrington regarding a certain item.”

Daniel’s eyebrows lifted in sarcasm and his expression composed. “Lord Harrington? What seems to be the issue?”

Well, he had expected this issue to arise since the very beginning when he bought the gift for his daughter, but he feared no one.

The guard cleared his throat, his gaze shifting between Daniel and the group.

“It has been brought to our attention that you acquired a music box that Lord Harrington had intended to purchase for his daughter.”

A hushed murmur seemed to ripple through the air as the confrontation between Daniel’s group and Lord Harrington unfolded in the middle of the land.

Outsiders who had caught wind of the situation exchanged knowing glances, their expressions a mixture of disdain and judgment.

Gathered onlookers, dressed in lavish attire befitting the exclusivity of the area, watched with raised eyebrows and subtle smirks.

For them, it was a spectacle, a display of power dynamics in a world where strength was revered above all else.

“These outsiders, daring to challenge Lord Harrington.”

“Such audacity, going against the wishes of a nobleman.”

“They seem to be cultivators. But even so, they should know their place.”

The murmurs carried an air of condescension as if the entitlement of the nobleman extended to those observing the unfolding scene.

In this land where the rich held sway, status and wealth were seen as measures of a person’s worth.

But amidst the undercurrent of judgment, some eyes held a glint of fascination and respect.

Mecil’s voice was calm but her eyes were ready to kill someone up.

“We purchased the music box fair and square from the shop. If there’s any misunderstanding, we’d be happy to clarify.”

The guard’s expression remained stern.

“I understand, but I must ask you to accompany us to Lord Harrington’s residence to address the matter.”

Cecilia’s voice held a touch of killing intent. “Is that necessary? We simply purchased a toy for Marie.”

Oblivious to her tone, the guard’s tone was unwavering.

“Lord Harrington is a prominent figure in this area, and we must adhere to his wishes. Please come with us.”

Daniel’s gaze remained steady, his eyes reflecting a sense of mockery.

“Very well, we’ll accompany you to this person who’s Lord Harrington’s residence and discuss this matter.”

He wanted to see what kind of display would this lord person do, and if he crossed the line, he wouldn’t hesitate to make him disappear.

As the group followed the guards through the opulent streets, Marie couldn’t help but feel a mix of anxiety and frustration.

It seemed that the nobleman’s entitlement was causing more trouble than she had anticipated..𝘯𝘵

However, she also knew that with Daniel’s presence, there was little to worry about.

‘With Dad here, everything is going to be alright’ She composed herself and her confidence in her father was bigger than the universe itself.

Upon reaching Lord Harrington’s lavish residence, they were ushered into an elaborately decorated chamber.

The nobleman sat on a grand chair, his expression a mixture of irritation and smug satisfaction.

“Ah, you’ve arrived,” Lord Harrington said, his voice dripping with condescension. “I did tell you that you shouldn’t have messed with me”

He poured a glass of drink and offered it to Daniel with a wicked smile.

Daniel’s voice was measured as he responded, “Indeed, you did, but we purchased the music box from the shop, so I don’t think I can compromise this ‘Lord Harrington” He replied with a mocked smile.

Lord Harrington’s eyes narrowed. “Regardless, I had my eyes on that music box for my daughter. It’s an exclusive item, and it’s my right to obtain it.”

Mecil’s voice was unwavering. “We acquired the music box fairly and did not know of your interest in it.”

The nobleman’s expression turned cold. “Fairly or not, I demand you hand over the music box immediately.” His voice grew colder.

Marie’s heart pounded as she felt the weight of the situation.

Lord Harrington’s entitlement and arrogance were palpable, and it was clear that he believed himself above all of them.

”I don’t think I can hand over the music box to you” Daniel answered.

Lord Harrington’s expression grew colder, his patience waning.

“You seem to misunderstand your place, outsider. In this realm, my wishes carry weight beyond your comprehension.”

He clicked his fingers and all of a sudden, Daniel and the rest were surrounded by a group of cultivators.

Daniel’s gaze held a glint of killing intent.

”What’re you going to do now? Since all of you refused to hand over the music box..then die The lord ordered and the cultivators who were summoned upon his call rushed towards him.

The cultivators began rushing towards Daniel and the rest with no hesitation in their eyes and they began launching their attacks one after another.

Meanwhile, the lord himself was laughing at the situation as he watched and believed that Daniel and the rest were overwhelmed with the might of his power, but he was wrong.

As the cultivators kept launching their techniques one after another, they realized that none of their attacks was against them.

Despite using 100% of their abilities, it seems that none of it was affecting Daniel and the rest.

Moreover, they couldn’t believe what was happening right before their eyes.

”W-What is this?! Why are our attacks not working!?” One of them demanded an answer as the situation became odd for him, and he sensed something was wrong with the people who messed with the lord.

”It’s like he has a barrier around him or something!” Another one answered as he witnessed their attacks dissipate an inch before it made contact with Daniel.

”T-This is impossible!”

Eventually, as Daniel was around them, he was getting tired of it, moreover, he didn’t wish to leave any one of them alive.

He wanted to make it a memorable day for Marie and not this, and he decided that he wasn’t going to leave any of their bodies intact.

Within their bombarding display of attack, Daniel’s power surged forth like a brilliant tide of flames.

It was flames of destruction, one that holds the colour of black which seems to represent evil itself and as soon as those flames were manifested, they enveloped all of the cultivators,

As soon as those flames engulfed all of the cultivators, they began burning their bodies at an unimaginable rate, and they screamed at the top of their lungs.

The cultivators, caught in the cascade of fire, felt their skins, muscles and organs melt away.

It was kind of a pain they had never experienced before and to make it even worse, Daniel purposely decreased the amount of intensity where they last more in tolerating against his flames.

Their expressions shifted in agony and they kept screaming all over the floor it was a gruesome sight where their organs were exposed, and even their blood was evaporating.

The flames were like hell, they mercilessly burned all of them without leaving any part of their bodies behind and even half of their bodies were gone, They were still conscious due to the unique trait of the flames.

As the fiery cascade subsided, all of the cultivators were gone and what was interesting was that the ground was burnt and as if, it specifically targeted the cultivators only.

The so-called army of the lord had been extinguished, and now, what remained was just Daniel and his group.

It was A hushed silence settled over the chamber.

The cultivators, once charging forward with aggression, now were just timbers.

Meanwhile, Cecilia, Mecil, and Marie exchanged glances, their eyes shimmering with fascination.

Their initial emotions were intended and although there was admiration and love, there was a deep sense and a touch of obsession.

”W-What is going on!? W-Where did the Cultivators that I summoned go?” The lord’s legs were trembling as he realized what happened.

He couldn’t believe his eyes and neither did it make sense at all. He was a cultivator himself, yet, what Daniel displayed wasn’t something he was familiar with.

Hence, it could only mean one thing and that, he was a cultivator that was above, and it seemed that he had messed with someone that he shouldn’t mess with.

”So…what you’re going to do now?” Daniel walked over to him with glowing eyes and seeing those hauntingly eyes, the lord panicked.

Knowing that he could cultivators with a click of his finger, there’s no telling what he could do with him.

”I-I’m sorry!” He began begging.

”What you’re sorry for?” Daniel questioned with a wicked smile.

”I didn’t open my eyes to see the mountain and I have just realized it now” The lord gave an excuse.
