The guard reverently escorted Xu Feng and Carmen to the tform, their actions shocking the other NPCs who were still waiting in line. Continue reading on empire


    "Guards, howe they get to use first?" One of the NPCs shouted in theint.


    "We''ve been waiting for more than two hours already! This is some nonsense!" Another chimed in.


    As the NPCsined, some even went as far as unleashing their aura in an attempt to pressure Xu Feng and Carmen.


    However, what they got in response was the guard who had been escorting the duo respectfully to retaliate instantaneously.


    "Hmph, how dare you all!" The guard scoffed coldly and locked onto the culprits. With a single wave of his hand, the NPCs who tried to put on a show of force were lifted mid-air, their legs dangling around.


    After giving the NPCs a few nces, the guard harrumphed and sent them straight to the end of the line.


    Once that was done, the guard continued to unleash his terrifying pressure, putting theiners to their knees. Only a few who had kept silent were free from the pressure.


    "Baron Lin Feng here is not someone the likes of you canin to. If you want this kind of privilege, then bring your contribution to Star Falls City." The guard coldly eximed.


    As he turned around and faced Xu Feng, his domineering expression changed to a friendly one.


    "Did these people rm you, Baron Lin Feng?" He asked softly, clearly concerned and worried about his well-being.


    Nearly all the guards had been informed and warned sternly by Jessica who ryed a message from the City Mayor and Manager Howard that stated Xu Feng was an important individual. Thus, they aren''t allowed to disappoint or be rude to him in any way, otherwise, their heads might be detached from their neck.


    "No, it''s all thanks to your swift reaction." Xu Feng lightly said, not a bit bothered by the NPCs'' reaction.


    He already knew most of them would be dissatisfied, but some were truly retarded to actually make a move. At the very least, they should have waited till they arrived at Paradise ins.


    Sometimeter, the guard activated the teleportation. Xu Feng and Carmen swiftly turned into tiny particles as they vanished from the tform.


    Paradise insN?v(el)B\\jnn


    A streak of lights shone upon a tform, and emerged was Xu Feng and Carmen.


    "Holy!" Carmen was mesmerized by the sight, but what amazed her the most was the rity in her mind.


    "Why do I feel so refreshed?" She turned to Xu Feng and asked. It became almost natural for her to always ask him whenever she had any doubts or new stuff.


    Her eyes were glittering, prompting Xu Feng to feel ufortable.


    "The mana concentration in Paradise ins is numerous times superior to Star Falls City. Hence, you feel refreshed." He exined.


    Realization dawned upon Carmen as she recalled the great environment in the Arcane Vein.


    "Mana concentration actually has such a huge effect on yers?" She eximed in an astonished tone.


    Previously, she merely thought it was just a special circumstance, but that didn''t seem to be the case.


    While she became dazed, the nearby guards around Paradise ins started approaching them.


    "Hello, may I see your participation slot?" One of the guards asked.


    Xu Feng nodded and revealed his participation slot. After a few seconds, the guard confirmed it and turned to Carmen, seemingly waiting for hers.


    "Ah, she''s with me and here to cheer me on." Xu Feng exined.


    The guard simply nodded their head in response. The slot that Xu Feng had indeed allowed him to bring in another person, but he still decided to be careful in confirming if it was true.


    "Understood, please follow me to register yourself. A room has been prepared for you at a hotel, and during this time, you are free to explore the city aside from the restricted zone. Thepetition will begin the next day once all contestants have arrived." The guard turned around and began exining the procedure.


    As the duo followed the guard, Carmen''s gaze was wandering around.


    Paradise ins was a bustling city, packed with activity and energy.


    Its streets were filled with people moving about, with the constant noise of chatter and footsteps echoing off the tall buildings. Neon signs and bright banners advertised various shops and guilds, adding to the city''s lively atmosphere.


    The architecture was impressive, with sleek modern buildings alongside older, intricately designed buildings. The air was filled with the scents of street food and the asional whiff of incense from nearby stalls.


    As Xu Feng and Carmen walked through the city, Carmen noticed the variety of shops and stalls lining the streets. Some sold rare items and magical artifacts, while others were focused on everyday goods.


    The city''s grand marketce was busy with traders and adventurers, creating a constant buzz of activity.


    "Feng, this is totally different from Star Falls City," Carmen whispered to him, clearly astonished by the scenery.


    "Of course, it''s different. The prosperity of Paradise ins is at its peak." Xu Feng chuckled softly.


    Meanwhile, the guard who was guiding them felt a sense of pride. With its strength, hearing their whispering was extremely easy.


    "Our Paradise ins is considered the heart of every known Profession. Many sought to purchasend here, but very few are sessful." The guard eximed and led them through the main areas. He was pointing out importantndmarks and giving brief directions.


    As the guard exined in pride, Carmen''s gaze was drawn to the bright lights and the diverse crowd, taking in the contrast between the shiny, high-end districts and the more modest areas with local crafts and food vendors.


    ''I''ll definitely get the Guild Leader to explore hereter on.'' She made a mental note.


    Sometimeter, they arrived at a modern hotel with a ss front, standing out from the older buildings around it.


    "Here''s the hotel and please take your time to read through thisw book. Paradise ins might not be strict, but thews are absolute. If it''s a severe offense, then they might be banished from the city altogether." The guard warned sternly and gave aw book to Xu Feng.


    Afterward, the guard left swiftly, clearly very busy. If it weren''t for the specialty of Xu Feng''s participation slot, then the guard wouldn''t have even bothered guiding them to the hotel.
