Chapter 305: In my home?
Axxel followed Eren towards his Office, only for Eren to realize that he had forgotten the way back since he took a portal to reach the class.
On the way back, the portal was not in the same place from where he had stepped out. As for finding the real way back, he
wasn’t sure.
“Why are you going in that direction? Isn’t your office in an entirely different
direction?” After a while, even Axxel
noticed that Eren was going in the wrong direction, calling him out.
“You think I don’t know where my office is? It’s just that the thing isn’t in my office. I already have it, but I don’t want to bring it out in the open. So I’m looking for a nearby place where we can be alone.” Eren came up with an excuse.
“Hmm? Just that? You could’ve just told me. My office is nearby. No one will disturb us there,” Axxel said while taking the lead.
“Absolutely perfect.”
Eren also slowed down, walking behind Axxel as he didn’t even know where Axxel’s office was.
Soon, Axxel stopped in front of an office. On the door, Axxel’s name was clearly written. He used his fingerprint to open the door and called Eren inside.
Once Eren entered, he closed the door behind him, making sure no one saw them
entering this office together.
Axxel walked to the table and sat on it, facing Eren. “Now show me. What is the
important treasure that you want to show the Dean?”
“Before I show it, you must promise that you won’t tell anyone about it! If people with bad intentions found out about this, it
could really bring a disaster to our
continent.” Eren was extremely grim while walking closer to Axxel, especially since the man was known for his speed.
The slightest mistake and he might escape.
“Something that could bring disaster to the continent? You mean it’s a treasure that
can even lure the other Continental Overlords?” Axxel also understood the
meaning behind Eren’s words.
As he considered the possibility, the greed
in his eyes only strengthened. At first, he only wanted to take this item from Eren
using his schemes but if it was so important, then he had to kill Eren to make sure he didn’t leak this after losing it.
“Don’t worry. Your secret is extremely safe
with me. We have known each other for
years after all.” Axxel rubbed his hand together, badly failing to control his expressions.
Normally, even a fool would have noticed
what he was planning but Eren did not
react to it. He walked even closer to Axxel
until there was only half a meter of
distance between them.
He opened his inventory while making it
appear like he was focusing on the Academy’s Storage ring that was on his
finger.
Tuck! Tuck!
As he was about to touch the inventory, a
knock resounded on the door.
“Wait a second. Let me see who is
disturbing us.” In the blink of an eye, Axxel
appeared in front of the door, leaving Eren
behind.
He opened the door only halfway, not
inviting the other person inside. That way, the person outside could not see Eren and
Eren couldn’t see them.
“Yeah, I received your request. You didn’t
have to come all the way here. I was
already about to send the response. Whatever, now that you’re here, you can hear it from me. There is no need to keep his disciples just to lure him.” “It’s just a weak insignificant traitor, not Devourer. There is no need to take that person too seriously. Take them to the Ghost Queen. Not as if he can know that his disciples will be long dead before the deadline. If he falls for the trap, he will still come.”
“Still, he would have to be a fool to come
here for his disciples. It’s just a wait of time to wait for him. So you can go forward with your proposal.”
After issuing his instructions, Axxel closed
the door. Although Eren didn’t see the face of the person outside, he had heard the voice of that person.
The person did not say much, only agreeing with Axxel. And when he did, Eren recognised that voice. It was Ancestral Elder Yang. He was walking freely in the
Academy?
Eren’s fists were already clenched in
frustration as he recognised the identity of
the person but he did not lose control. Instead, he summoned Yelen and instructed her to follow Ancestral Elder
Yang.
“Sorry for the disturbance. These subordinates are truly fools. They can’t do
anything without me,” Axxel closed the
door right as Yelen left the room, not even feeling her present.
“Don’t worry. I am sure you are also having
a hard time after being assigned to guide
these easterners.”
“Hahaha, that’s right. Of course you
understand me. So, what was the treasure?”
“Right here.” Eren brought out a small black box. He reached out his hand while walking towards Axxel as if to hand it over.
Only after taking a few steps, he stumbled and lost his balance, falling in the direction of Axxel. The small box fell on the ground right near Axxel’s feet.
“Be more careful with something so
precious.” Axxel bent forward to pick up
the box. Even though he didn’t know what was in it, he had already started considering it extremely precious. While Axxel had bent forward to pick the
small box, a gun appeared in Eren’s hands
which he pointed at Axxel, supplying a small amount of his mana, forcefully cutting it off before a stronger bullet could
be produced.
Unlike last time, he didn’t want the bullet
to pass through multiple walls, leaving behind traces.
“You are right. I will be more careful this
time,” Eren said while pulling the trigger.
“You came to ask me about his whereabouts? How fascinating. Isn’t he already in your home?”
In an unknown place, Mist was sitting in
front of a dark hooded woman whose eyes were completely blank as if she was unable
to see. Still, she could see more than the
others.
“In
my
home?” Mist frowned..
