Chapter 891: Going to the Holy City

Three giant airships were parked in the center of the venue, exuding Demonic Energy fluctuations.

The one right in the middle was the most massive, reaching hundreds of meters in length.

Its shell was crafted from dark gold-grade magical metal, and the surface was engraved with wind-type magic Formation patterns.

The Demonic Energy engine at the rear emitted a deep blue glow, and the luxurious decorations inside were faintly discernible through the magical crystal glass.

The luxury car stopped. Seeing the mayor's vehicle, hundreds of guards around neatly executed a military salute.

But the next second, they saw the high-and-mighty Mayor Wayne push open the car door at top speed and rush down, jogging all the way to the backseat, respectfully pulling open the door while shielding the roof to welcome a strange blond youth out of the car.

The guards looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces full of astonishment. Wayne didn't care about his subordinates' gazes at all, walking up to Zhou Huai with a beaming smile and pointing at the behemoth in the middle with a flattering tone.

"Your Excellency, please take a look."

Wayne introduced:

"This 'Dark Night Monarch' is one of only three four-star civilian airships in the entire Free Federation. Its maximum speed can achieve a Breakthrough past the sound barrier, and it is equipped with a defense shield capable of resisting level-seventy forbidden spells. The internal facilities have everything one could expect."

While observing Zhou Huai's expression, Wayne gritted his teeth. He knew that to completely appease this God of Slaughter's anger, just borrowing things was not enough; he had to show true sincerity.

"Your Excellency and I hit it off instantly. If Your Excellency needs it, let alone borrowing it—"

Wayne patted his chest and said loudly, "I am giving this airship to Your Excellency!"

"Giving it to me?" Zhou Huai looked at the Gotham City mayor in front of him.

"That's right! Being able to serve Your Excellency is the utmost honor of Bruce Wayne!"

Bruce Wayne bent his waist very low, rubbing his hands together with a flattering tone.

"This 'Dark Night Monarch' can only unleash its true value in the hands of a great existence like Your Excellency! Keeping it with me is simply wasting a heavenly treasure!"

The hundreds of fully armed elite guards around looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces full of astonishment.

Bruce Wayne, the underground emperor of Gotham City, usually made even the presidents of top guilds treat him politely when they met him.

This four-star Demonic Energy airship was even his prized treasure, yet now he was handing it over as a gift with a humble posture.

Everyone couldn't help but secretly speculate about the blond youth's background.

Zhou Huai ignored the surrounding gazes and nodded with a calm expression.

"Since Mayor Wayne is so sincere, then I will accept it."

Hearing Zhou Huai agree, Bruce Wayne let out a sigh of relief.

As long as this God of Slaughter was willing to accept the item and leave Gotham, let alone an airship, he was willing to give half of his Family fortune.

"Your Excellency, please! I will personally lead the way for you!"

Bruce Wayne jogged to the boarding ladder, took out a handkerchief to wipe the handrail, and only then respectfully bent over to make a gesture of invitation.

Zhou Huai stepped onto the boarding ladder, with Eliza following closely behind.

The interior space of the airship was expanded by more than ten times due to a folding Formation.

The ground was covered with the fur of a Tier 7 Demonic Beast, the Snow Velvet Fox; Demonic Energy crystal chandeliers hung overhead; and the cabin walls were inlaid with the divine wood of the Elven race.

In the center of the hall stood a circular sofa sewn from deep-sea Demonic Dragon leather. The coffee table was stocked with top-grade Demonic Energy red wine and rare spiritual fruits, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance that could restore mana points.

"As expected of one of the only three four-star civilian airships in the Free Federation, this configuration is indeed not bad." Zhou Huai sat on the Demonic Dragon leather sofa and casually commented.

Bruce Wayne stood aside and bowed slightly. Hearing the praise, his smile grew even wider.

"As long as Your Excellency is satisfied! The pilots and attendants on the airship are all professionals who have undergone the strictest training, and they will provide Your Excellency with top-tier service throughout the journey."

Zhou Huai picked up the red wine, took a sip, and issued an order.

"Order people to set off immediately and head to the Holy City."

"Yes! Take off immediately! Target the Holy City!" Bruce Wayne turned his head and shouted toward the cockpit, displaying a mayor's dignity.

The airship's Demonic Energy engine roared, its hull trembled slightly, and the energy shield expanded on the outer perimeter.

Zhou Huai put down his wine glass and stood up, preparing to walk towards the resting area. Before leaving, he stopped in his tracks, looked at Eliza, who looked reserved beside him, and then shifted his gaze to Bruce Wayne.

"Mayor Wayne." Zhou Huai's voice resounded through the hall.

"Your Excellency, please give your orders!" Bruce Wayne immediately straightened his back.

Zhou Huai pointed at Eliza, his tone calm yet unquestionable.

"From now on, Eliza of the Yalige Family will be my spokesperson in Gotham."

"Her words represent my meaning."

Zhou Huai looked into Bruce Wayne's eyes.

"Trouble Mr. Bruce to take good care of her in Gotham from now on."

The airship hall fell silent.

The standby high-tier attendants and guards held their breath, looking at the winged young girl.

Eliza froze in place, her face full of disbelief, her body trembling slightly.

The Yalige Family had almost been wiped out, and she was originally a survivor being hunted down. If she hadn't met this gentleman, she would have long perished at the hands of thugs.

She thought the other party had only saved her out of convenience, and bringing her here was already a blessing, but she never expected that the other party would announce in public to make her the spokesperson of Gotham. Having this backing was equivalent to handing half of Gotham City's underground power into her hands.

Bruce Wayne's heart shook, and reacting extremely quickly, he directly bowed deeply to Eliza.

"Understood! Your Excellency, please rest assured!"

"From now on in Gotham City, Young Miss Eliza will be the most honored guest! The Yalige Family's properties, my Wayne Family will fully assist in taking them back! Whoever dares to show disrespect to Young Miss Eliza is going against me, Bruce Wayne, and going against the entire Wayne Family!"

With this statement, Eliza's status in Gotham was completely solidified.

She looked gratefully at Zhou Huai, knowing that this single sentence not only saved her life, but also gave her the opportunity to rebuild her Family. She walked up to Zhou Huai and was about to kneel down.

Zhou Huai raised his hand with an empty support, and a spatial force held her up.

Eliza lowered her head and said in a low voice,

"Thank you… for the gentleman's great kindness, Eliza will never forget it in this lifetime."

Zhou Huai's expression was indifferent.

"You're welcome."

His tone was calm: "You did help me find some clues I needed. This is what you deserve."

If not for Eliza, he wouldn't have been able to find clues about his mother so quickly.

Zhou Huai said no more and turned into the lounge.

Bruce Wayne and Eliza respectfully withdrew from the airship.

"Boom—"

The Demonic Energy engine at the rear of the Dark Night Monarch burst with a dim blue light, and the airship slowly took off amidst the howling wind.

On the apron, Bruce Wayne led the guards in bowing deeply.

"Farewell, Your Excellency!"

The shouts echoed in the night sky.

The airship continued to climb, turning into a stream of light that disappeared into the horizon as it sped towards the Holy City.
