Jean, Kylie, and Husan were all fully geared up, wearing sunglasses and masks to avoid being recognized on the road. Because if they were recognized, it would cause a stir.
***
It was approaching the evening when they finally made it to Neptuna.
As soon as they got there, they realized they couldn’t keep going. The streets were jam-packed, and there were crowds of onlookers on both sides.
At the very front, there was even a barricade. The road was closed.
Remus wasn’t in a hurry, anyway.
Maybe there is an inspection going on… Or, perhaps the road is closed because a celebrity was out and about…
Even though favonovel.com was strongly against such behavior, it was impossible to completely prevent it.
They waited for half an hour, but there seemed to be no signs of the road closure being lifted. On the contrary, traffic congestion was getting worse, now stretching for over ten miles.
Kylie was getting impatient, already thinking about having Remus cook a meal for favonovel.com once they got back to Imperial Villa.
She rolled down the car window, looked at the car beside them, and asked, “Hello… Is there something important happening? Why hasn’t the roadblock been lifted yet?”
The driver next to them let out a cold snort. “Lifted? You can wait all you want, but there’s no way they’ll open the road before 10:00 pm tonight. You must be from out of town, right? This happens twice a month. I’m already used to it!”
Hearing that response, Remus was dumbfounded.
The three women were taken aback, too.
The road wouldn’t open until 10:00 pm, but it wasn’t even 7:00 pm yet. That meant they had to wait for over three more hours.
Did the driver say this happened twice a month?
Jean also asked, “What kind of event can be so significant that it would require the road to be closed?”
“Of course, it’s significant!” the driver exclaimed as favonovel.com started complaining. “The famous Dragon Head is coming back. He comes back twice a month, and when favonovel.com does, the road to Neptuna has to be closed. Since they don’t know the exact time he’ll arrive, the road has to be closed the whole time.”
The driver scoffed. “He used to be just a thug. Later, favonovel.com rose to prominence by riding on the Thunderous God of War’s coattails. Now, he’s not just the Underground King of the Two Provinces, but the whole underground world of Darsia. No one dares to mess with him!”
“Seriously, when the God of War gained power, even his lackeys rose. It’s ridiculous!”
“Shut up!” the driver’s wife sitting in the passenger seat quickly spoke up. “Why do you say everything that comes to mind? Are you asking for trouble?”
Meanwhile, Remus, Kylie, and Jean were stunned.
So, was the road closed because of Anthony?
Husan didn’t know Anthony, but from the others’ expressions, it was clear there was an issue. Surprised, favonovel.com asked, “Do you guys know the Dragon Head?”
Remus nodded, a fierce anger erupting from within him.
How dare Anthony close the road?
Even though Remus wouldn’t have done anything if anyone else was behind this road closure, favonovel.com couldn’t just sit by when it was Anthony.
Kylie was still puzzled and asked again, “But why would the road be closed twice?”
The driver, even more enraged, quickly said, “Why else? It’s about sucking up to him!”
“He’s already secured his position in the provincial capital. But favonovel.com claims that no one cleans the Thunderous God of War’s Imperial Villa, so favonovel.com insists on coming back twice a month to clean it himself!”
“He really does clean the place himself. No one else is even allowed to touch the place! Hahaha!”
“Shut up!” his wife shouted angrily. “Do you want to die?!”
The driver lowered his head and stopped talking.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the road ahead, and a convoy of vehicles slowly approached from a distance. The procession was led by ten motorcycles, seeming quite impressive.
Following the motorcycles was a customized Rolls-Royce. Behind it were 20 Hummers, with bodyguards in suits and sunglasses by the doors. It was as if an army was marching through, terrifying the onlookers.
They had to pass the intersection and make a turn.
Just then, Remus raised his hand and pressed the car horn.
