Harem Overlord Chapter 178: The Half Wolf Assassin (1)

“While traveling here, I saw quite a few people looking at me with distaste. Some of them might be one of the protestors. We should check whether these people have a clean record or not.” Kai said as he caught up with the crowd.

It looked as though most of the people had gone away and only a few were left. From the royal family’s side, the king, the queen, Gaia’s mother, and a man standing close to Gaia’s mother were left behind.

It looked as though Gaia had been sent off for some reason.

“Are you her father?” Kai asked the man as he nodded slowly. He hadn’t met Kai before since he had been near his wife and daughter during nine days ago.

Kai nodded before he turned towards the king who was wondering about Kai’s question. 

“You are right. We should go and check their records.” He muttered as he summoned a guard standing a few feet away.

“Bring the records of the people to the war room and also ask someone to bring a map of the palace.” The king ordered as the guard scrambled away quickly.

As the group moved towards the war room, Kai’s eyes started glowing dimly as he peered towards a wall in the north direction.

His gaze suddenly passed through the wall as he saw a figure moving outside the walls of the palace. The figure was fully clad in black clothes and had numerous daggers lined on a belt. The figure’s face was covered with a hood and a scarf while she was wearing black shorts and black k combat boots.

Kai smiled at this as he turned away and followed the group. As for the figure, it suddenly stopped as it felt someone’s gaze.

The figure looked around but saw no one as I turned towards the palace.

“Maybe living inside the elven realm for such a short amount of time is making me hallucinate.” The figure said in a feminine voice as she lowered her hood.

Rough white gray was released from her hood as they fell down to her waist. But the most surprising thing about the figure was the two gray ears on the top of her head as they wiggled a little as she closed her eye while focusing.

“Infiltrating this place shouldn’t be that hard.” She muttered as she opened her eyes and dashed away.

“What are you waiting behind for?” Kiana asked as soon as Kai caught up to them.

“I was just looking at someone who is clearly an assassin here to kill the royal family.” He replied as Kiana frowned.

“Are you joking or not? I can’t figure it out.” Qin said as the other girls nodded.

“Then just wait for a few moments and you will know whether I was joking or not.” Kai said with a mysterious smile as they reached the war room.

Many maps lined the walls of the war room while a huge rectangular table was placed in the middle of the room with ten chairs around it.

“This seems pretty basic for a war room.” Qin said out loud for the first time as the king coughed a little.

“We haven’t used this place for a long time since we don’t have any major outbreaks here. Most of the stuff here might be outdated.” The king coughed as Qin raised her eyebrows but didn’t say anything.

“While we wait for someone to bring the maps and records for us, what do you think these protestors want, sacred ambassador?” The king asked as the others paid attention to Kai’s words.

“I think that they are not doing this because they are dissatisfied because of the land of lightning and earth joining together. They are just using this opportunity to attack since things are a little chaotic right now. As for their main objective, I don’t know.” Kai answered as the king nodded.

He had been thinking of something similar for a few days and Kai’s theory just confirmed what he was thinking might be true.

Suddenly a knock came at the door as Gaia’s father moved forward to open it but was suddenly stopped by Kai.

“She managed to enter the palace so easily and didn’t kill even a single person while doing that. Stay on guard and prepare to save your vital organs.” Kai said in an impressed tone as he snapped his fingers and the doorknob turned on itself and the door started opening. 

With a quick motion, a shadow came inside the room with two daggers out in its hands. The figure stared at Gaia’s father before throwing the dagger in his direction.

But thanks to Kai’s warning, he was already prepared as he a shield of earth appeared in front of him and blocked the dagger.

But the dagger suddenly started melting as the shield as Kai’s eyes widened. He appeared beside Gaia’s father and teleported him away as the shield broke apart as the dagger zoomed through the air before it got stuck in a wall.

“What’s your name?” Kai asked while seeing the figure examining him.

“Haguromo. Thank you for saving me.” The man replied as he thanked Kai.

“Don’t thank me yet.” Nai replied as he moved in front of the group and summoned blocks of mysterious blue blocks in front of him.

“You bought those daggers from Inari right?” Kai asked the figure’s hand twitched a little on the mention of the name Inari.

“I wonder how you managed to enter the elven realm. You shouldn’t be here” Kai said and with a snap of his fingers, he teleported the two of them away.

“Where did they go?” Haguromo suddenly asked as he and the rest of the royal family’s members blinked at the empty place where Kai and the figure had been standing a few minutes ago.

“They went somewhere in the west.” Levina replied as she used her connection with Kai to figure out his location.

“How do you know that?” The queen asked with narrowed eyes as Levina gave her a small pointy green.

“I just do. While we wait for him to come back, let’s just wait for the servants to bring the reports and after they come, we will check them.” Levina ordered with authority in her voice as the people sat down.

‘Though I wonder why he said that the figure shouldn’t be on the elven realm?’ Levina wondered one last time before the reports appeared and they spent the rest of their time skimming through the reports.
