Is It Funny That The Dragon Slayer Failed And Became The Dragon Princess? - Volume 2 Chapter 124

124. Fight! Fight! Fight!

Someone shouted those words, further igniting the anger of the poor in the lower district.

They had given so much for Corolle, working hard to build this city, only to be constantly oppressed by the new nobles and driven here in the end.

Why?

“Big bro always takes care of us, even standing up for us… Are we just going to watch him be executed by the nobles?”

“The nobles have been deceiving us all along, saying that as long as we work hard, we can live a happy life… It’s all lies, we’ve been deceived all this time!”

“Abandon the illusion! Abandon the illusion!”

The poor in the lower district abandoned their usual submissive attitude, releasing all the emotions they had accumulated for so long.

…

Night.

Tonight, the lower district is different from usual.

The dim streets were illuminated by firelight, and the poor gathered on the streets with torches in hand.

This afternoon, the news of Shadow King’s subordinate being taken away by the Security Team had spread to every corner of the lower district.

It was unknown whether someone was secretly fanning the flames, or if it was due to long-standing grievances.

Upon hearing this news, all the poor found it difficult to quell the anger in their hearts. Like a fuse, it ignited the emotions of everyone.

The anger of the poor had nowhere to vent and eventually gathered in the central square of the lower district.

“We can’t wait any longer!”

“Let the Shadow King do something!!”

“We must rescue big bro, he has helped so many people!”

The cries of the poor rose one after another.

In the square, Shadow King’s cadres were unable to control the situation and didn’t know what to do.

At this moment, a man walked out, smoking a cigarette and wearing an apron, as if he hadn’t even closed his stall before coming here.

He walked up to Shadow King’s cadres.

Everyone recognized him.

“A’Jin?”

“What is he going to do?”

“Isn’t that the butcher?”

Everyone was very puzzled.

What happened next shocked them all.

“Shadow King!”

Shadow King’s subordinates all knelt on the ground, paying their respects.

In an instant, the crowded square fell silent, with only the sound of torches burning quietly.

It turns out the Shadow King was the butcher!!

This was something no one had expected, but for Shadow King’s subordinates to be so respectful, it could only be Shadow King himself.

This was the truth.

“Get up.”

A’Jin tossed his cigarette to the ground, stamped it out, and took off his apron.

“As you command.”

Shadow King’s cadres retreated to the side, leaving the center of the square to A’Jin.

The decadent A’Jin looked at the poor in the lower district, his eyes gradually changing, reflecting the torches in their hands, as if two flames were burning.

“Shadow King!”

“Shadow King!!”

Some among the poor began to shout, their voices seemingly infectious, spreading until everyone was shouting for Shadow King.

The Shadow King had finally stepped forward!

Facing the crowd, A’Jin raised his hand.

Then, a flag was passed to him by one of the Shadow King’s men.

He raised it high.

“This is… the flag of the rebels!!”

“Could it be that the Shadow King is the leader who once led the lower district rebellion!”

“The hero we thought dead now stands before us again!”

The poor in the lower district never imagined this, that the past rebel and Shadow King were actually the same person.

At this moment, A’Jin’s prestige had multiplied and he could already command a hundred responses with a single call.

When the atmosphere reached its peak, he finally spoke.

“That’s right! I am both the rebel and Shadow King!”

“I once thought that as long as we endured, the new nobles would let us live, but the reality… no, our forbearance did not earn us any respect, but instead insults! My subordinate, my brother, was taken away by the new nobles! Just because he wanted to protect us?”

“Why should we accept such a humiliating life? Why can’t we resist when everything has been taken from us? Why should our life and death be so easily decided!?”

A’Jin’s words resonated with the poor of the lower district.

“Fight! Fight!”

“The new nobles in the central district are the enemy! They use Frey to deceive us all! Frey cannot save us!” A’Jin roared, “The new nobles deceive those above and below, playing with power, and have already angered the royal family! And I have obtained the recognition of the royal family. The Silver Dragon Princess herself personally ordered the gangs of Corolle to assist us! By royal decree, we will hunt down the traitors! Now is the time to eliminate the new nobles from the inside and outside and change the fate of the lower district!”

“Eliminate the new nobles! Eliminate the new nobles!”

…

Corolle, Grand Theater.

A well-known singer is performing on stage, her voice melodious and captivating, enchanting the audience.

Nearly half of the seats in the Grand Theater tonight are occupied by Corolle’s gangs.

“Love and hate arise in the sea of suffering, inescapable is the fate in this world—”

“Miss, how do you feel?” Sera asked Xia Yi, who was sitting next to her, “Her name is Beatrice, a singer who recently has become very famous.”

Xia Yi watched the stage, very engrossed.

She remembered this singer, previously at the Ascension Casino, it was Xia Yi playing the piano while this singer sang.

“Very good,” Xia Yi said with satisfaction, “We can hire her, she’s suitable, but don’t force her.”

“Understood.” Sera acknowledged.

Time passed quickly.

When tonight’s performance ended, Xia Yi brought a bouquet and walked onto the stage to present flowers to Beatrice.

Seeing Xia Yi, Beatrice joyfully accepted the bouquet, “Thank you, little sister.”

Xia Yi smiled at her and then left.

Beatrice saw Xia Yi being surrounded by gang members and was a bit puzzled. Afterwards, a gang member came up and told her that Miss Mu Guang was now the spokesperson of all the gangs in Corolle. Beatrice was quite surprised.

Next, the gang member asked Beatrice if she was willing to accept a commission.

Looking at Xia Yi’s back, Beatrice recalled the wonderful experience that night and immediately accepted.

…

“Occasionally listening to songs is not bad—” Jiye said happily, “Speaking of which, I haven’t been to the Grand Theater in a long time, it’s rare to enjoy it for once.”

“Me too.” Chen Tie replied.

Xia Yi said, “We have to let everyone relax a bit, working all the time is too tiring.”

Jiye and Chen Tie both agreed.

Everyone left the Corolle Grand Theater.

But as soon as Xia Yi walked down the steps, an unexpected incident occurred. Suddenly, a lot of smoke appeared on the ground, someone had thrown smoke bombs.

A figure emerged from the smoke, seizing the petite silver-haired loli.

“What’s going on!?” Sera was stunned.

“Where did Miss Mu Guang go?” Jiye was at a loss.

“Quick, quickly find Miss Mu Guang!!” Chen Tie shouted anxiously.

By the time the gang members reacted and cleared the smoke, Xia Yi was gone.

…

“Well done, Thousand Kills, you’ve successfully completed the mission. Take off her hood and then you may leave.”

“Yes.”

Xia Yi heard the sound of people talking.

The cloth over her eyes was removed, and as her vision returned, she saw the new nobles?

“Hello there, spokesperson, Miss Mu Guang… oh no, perhaps I should address you as, Princess?”
