Chapter 728: Unreachable City, A Gathering of Powerhouses
Under the influence of the Red Moon's mana, those bitten by vampires would turn into mindless ghouls.
At first, the riots were only rampant in the area where the Red Tower was located, with the mindless ghouls wreaking havoc.
However, as the ghouls' influence spread like a zombie virus, the regions of the Pure White Tower and the Pitch-Black Tower also began to be affected. Hence, the 'Kitsune' Baiji and the 'Tyrant' Kagano also started hunting and killing the ghouls.
Originally, Unreachable City had little to do with the Cult and the Shadow Courtyard.
But under Night City's orders, the puppet master behind Unreachable City's large merchant association, known as the 'Sword Ghost' Yuedan, had no choice but to send people and even personally search for Claireya.
Yuedan's strength was naturally exceptional to be called the 'Sword Ghost'. He was also the one who, many years ago, turned to the Cult due to power and even slaughtered his former fiancee Baiji and her entire family for the sake of pursuing strength.
After joining the Cult for so long, Yuedan still hadn't received much attention and was only a minor boss.
But this time, his opportunity finally arrived. As long as he united Unreachable City's merchant association and completely destroyed the 'Four Tranquility Trading Company' established by the Shadow Courtyard, providing sufficient funds for the Cult, he would have a chance to become one of the Round Table Knights.
However, before he could take action, Unreachable City fell into chaos, and he also suddenly received an order from the upper echelons.
That was to protect a woman named Claireya Kagano at all costs.
Who Claireya Kagano was, Yuedan wasn't clear, but she must be an important figure for the upper echelons to value her so much. He just had to follow their orders.
The same was true for the Shadow Courtyard... No, after receiving the corresponding orders, the people of the Shadow Courtyard placed even more emphasis on this matter.
After all, Claireya Kagano was not only the Shadow Night Lord's childhood friend but also his older sister.
Upon learning that Claireya had gone missing in Unreachable City, Alpha and the others immediately took action, with Beta and Delta leading the search and rescue team.
Similarly, the Elf Sword Saint, Beyatorix, also rushed to Unreachable City.
After the War God Festival, Beyatorix seemed to have left, but in reality, she had been investigating matters concerning the 'Shadow Courtyard' all along.
Tracking the 'Seven Shadows' might be challenging, but for Beyatorix, tailing the general numbered members of the Shadow Courtyard without being discovered was an easy task.
After learning from the people of the Shadow Courtyard that Claireya Kagano had gone missing in Unreachable City, Beyatorix thought for a moment and eventually arrived here.
Currently, she had already grasped her niece Alpha's whereabouts, and staying at the rear command of the Shadow Courtyard, she was also temporarily safe.
But regarding Claireya, who had gone missing in Unreachable City, it was hard to say. Unreachable City was a place where she, Beyatorix, had once gone to search for her niece.
Beyatorix and Claireya weren't very familiar, but she knew that the other party was an extremely important person to Night City.
There was no need to mention Night City's gratitude. Since Night City's cherished person was in danger, Beyatorix naturally couldn't stand by idly.
Hence, due to Night City's order, powerhouses from all sides began to gather in Unreachable City.
As the local overlord, Yuedan was the first to discover Claireya's whereabouts. But when he rushed to the Red Tower, he found that the Red Tower's watchdog had been knocked out.
(End of Chapter)The 'Kitsune' of the White Tower and the 'Tyrant' of the Black Tower were locked in an intense battle, neither willing to back down.
When Yuandan appeared, Lady White, who held a deep grudge against him, instantly went into a frenzy and abandoned her pursuit of Tyrant Gagnon, turning her attention towards Yuandan.
Yuandan recognized Lady White, whom he hadn't seen in years, but he didn't seem to care much for her.
Lady White's hatred had indeed made her stronger over the years, and she had even become one of the rulers of the three major powers in the Unreachable City.
However, it was unfortunate for her that Yuandan, having acquired the Cult's power, was now even stronger.
"I don't have time to waste here. Tell me where Claireya Kagano is!" Yuandan demanded.
According to Yuandan's information, the disappearance of Claireya Kagano was likely connected to Vermillion of the Red Tower.
But with the rulers of the White and Black Towers present, what if they knew something?
Tyrant Gagnon, who had no interest in the personal grudge between Lady White and Yuandan, was about to ascend the Red Tower to confront the Blood Queen. However, Yuandan's rude tone irritated him.
Gagnon was known for his arrogance, but when had it become acceptable for random bystanders, like stray cats and dogs, to act so brazenly towards him, the ruler of the Black Tower?
Just as Gagnon was about to make his move, Delta, following a scent, arrived with Beta and the others.
Upon seeing the ongoing battle, Beta immediately gave an order: "Delta, hold these people here. I'll take a team to find Miss Claireya."
Delta wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but his combat prowess among the Seven Shadows was undeniable. Despite the presence of powerful fighters, Beta had no concerns about Delta's safety.
As a Cult member, Yuandan instantly recognized Beta and Delta as members of the Cult's arch-nemesis, the Shadow Courtyard.
Upon learning that they were also searching for Claireya Kagano, Yuandan's expression turned anxious.
The fact that both the Cult and the Shadow Courtyard were after the same person indicated that she was even more important than he had imagined.
If the Shadow Courtyard succeeded, his chances of a promotion and raise might very well go down the drain!
Fearing this consequence, Yuandan quickly summoned his underlings to stop the Shadow Courtyard members.
Coincidentally, as the battle raged on, Beatrice arrived with the unfortunate Jaga and Shuloh, who had been reduced to mere bystanders.
After arriving in the Unreachable City, Beatrice had stumbled upon Jaga and Shuloh, who were attempting to flee.
From them, she learned that Claireya and Mary had gone to the Red Tower, so she followed.
Observing the chaotic fight, Beatrice had no intention of getting involved. Instead, she randomly grabbed a background character and asked, "Do you know where Claireya Kagano is?"
The person Beatrice had grabbed was none other than Gold, the once-invincible Golden Dragon from the God of War Festival.
He and Quinton had become slaves, guarding the Red Tower's entrance after their defeat by its guardian.
Hearing Beatrice's question, Gold was perplexed, wondering who Claireya Kagano was and why so many powerful individuals were searching for her.
