My Waste Husband
Chapter 1247

Chapter 1247

For Henry, the days in Eastern City soon became regular. As an appraiser, he was more and more famous every day in the Treasure Pavilion.

More and more people were waiting in front of the Treasure Pavilion every day.

At first, Trahern was sitting in front of the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion to count money every day. Now, ten days had passed. Trahern didn't even bother counting money. He slept in the brothel every day and drank as soon as he woke up. Even his sword had not been touched for four days.

During these ten days, more and more people flooded into Eastern City. The news that the demonic beasts were about to encircle the city spread all over the city. Some people who just came in from the outside even said that they had seen the army of demonic beasts gathering, and they were not far from the city.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was in a panic.

Knox immediately gave the order to capture all the people who were spreading the panic and throw them into the dungeon.

In the City Lord's Mansion.

Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Knox's brows knitted together.

"Have the other six cities replied yet?"

"City Lord, they have. The siege of the demonic beasts is only a guess. If we were to receive their support, the beasts might take advantage of the situation to attack the other cities. They won't be able to rush here right now!"

"These people!" Knox clenched his fists, and the teacup at his hand instantly broke into pieces. "At this point, they still think of relying on the demonic beasts to weaken the strength of our Eastern City! The demonic beasts are stronger each time. They evolved, and they mutated. Now, these people can't even imagine how terrible the big beasts from the valley are! They still want to have internal strife! How long do they want to have internal strife?!"

Knox's body was filled with rage.

Standing below Knox were many of the upper echelons of the Colver Family. At this moment, they lowered their heads and said nothing. They all knew how much Knox hated demonic beasts.

Knox's eldest son died at the hands of the demonic beast.

"Master, I heard from people outside that this time, there are no less than three big beasts with a size of 100 metres. They have never seen this kind of monster before."

"Notify people!" Knox waved his hand and said, "Now, everyone, get out of the city and dig the trenches! We will prepare the tomb for those demonic beasts in advance!"

Under the order of the City Lord's Mansion, all the people in the city got out of the city and dug outside the city!

All kinds of veins crisscrossed. A trench with a depth of fifty meters was completed in just one day in the hands of numerous Qi- controlling Realm experts. The trench was also fifty metres wide, and it circled around the city.

Once they dug up the trenches, it would be very difficult to transport supplies over. Those who lived outside the city and didn't know how to control their Qi wouldn't be able to enter the city.

In the Chu Family's house, everyone's brows were tightly knitted.

"Master, shouldn't we control Ranjeet's meals? Right now, the family's daily meals have been reduced by thirty per cent. Ranjeet still could eat a whole table of food. This has already caused many people to be secretly dissatisfied." A senior member of the Chu Family spoke to Placido.

"He's a talent with a high aptitude, so what if he eats more?" Placido said, "After this incident, well only need to train him a little more and he'll be able to hold his own. His future will be limitless."

"But Master, we have to think for the people below." The Chu Family's senior member said, "Now in our family, many people become irritable because they can't eat enough. Today, there were four conflicts. If it goes on like this, I am afraid that something will happen!"

Placido shook his head. "This kind of situation will happen sooner or later. Try your best to calm them. I'll make Ranjeet restrain when it comes to food."

"All right."

A day passed once again.

Henry walked out of the Treasure Pavilion. Lisamari and Cherlyn had been following him. These two beautiful girls attracted many people's attention. Naturally, Henry was also admired by people. He was not only able to enjoy the good fortune among these two gorgeous women, but also had the ability to make people respect him.

Henry left the Treasure Pavilion and went straight to the brothel with the two girls.

Henry had come here a few days ago to drink wine and had gotten to know a girl.

The brothel was the fastest place to spread the news. The procuress also knew who were the big shots in the city. How could she not know Henry, the most popular appraiser in recent days?

As soon as Henry entered the door, the procuress came up to him.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, why are you so late?" The old woman walked over, swaying her waist. She was a charming middle-aged woman who was already in her forties, but her strength of controlling Qi made her look like she was in her early thirties, which was the most lethal appearance of a woman.

"Ha ha." Henry smiled and then asked, "Where is Aeeshah?"

"Aeeshah has been waiting for you, Mr. Zhang." The old woman held a bright-coloured phoenix- feathered fan and covered her mouth with a smile. "Aeeshah dares not to accompany anyone else but Mr. Zhang."

"You are sensible." Henry threw out ten gold coins.

The procuress quickly took it and became more enthusiastic. She led Henry into a room.

In front of the room, Henry turned to look at Lisamari and Cherlyn.

"You two wait for me here."

After that, Henry went into the room.

As soon as Henry entered the room, several well-dressed girls came up to the old woman and looked at the closed door.

"Mother, this guy surnamed Zhang is really rich. Introduce him to us."

"That's right. Just a casual action and you are able to get dozens of gold coins."

"We serve men for a long time, but it's much more profitable for this woman to talk with him."

"But Mr. Zhang seems to be stupid. He likes to have such two beautiful women around him. He is old."

"Go, go, go." The old woman waved the coloured fan in her hand. "What do you know? How can you serve a man like this, who has been through thick and thin? Moreover, a mature woman is much more attractive than an immature little girl."

"Mom, do you want to do it yourself?" One of the girls joked. "Mom, if you do it yourself, you'll definitely make that Zhang fancy you to death."

"If I go, I'm afraid that you won't have anything to eat." The old woman waved the fan in her hand and walked to the side.

Henry entered the room. The woman in the room was about 30 years old, with thin eyebrows, blue eyes, long hair, and a long skirt. She sat in front of an ancient zither with a kind of intellectual beauty. She moved her fingers gently and the musical instrument in her hand emitted a pleasant sound.

"In one stroke, there's more than one tune. This zither has no tune, but the sound of it is more touching than the music of chorus." Henry sat skillfully at the table in the room and poured himself a cup of wine.

The woman in front of the zither smiled and spoke. Her voice was not as crisp as that of a normal woman, and there was a kind of magnetism in between. It seemed that there was some magic power, which made people feel comfortable when hearing her voice.

"Every time you come, I use another musical instrument. But you always have some comments. It seems that you like musical instruments very much."

"Everything is involved in music." Henry picked up the glass. "I didn't expect that the apprentice of Sackcloth Visitor has a unique love for musical instruments. The old man doesn't look like a person with interest."
