Chapter 411: I should’ve known
“You made me wait long,” Fey said, wearing nothing but an ordinary white robe that was tied loosely around his waist.
It was as if he didn’t want to waste time taking off his clothes, so he wore something more comfortable and easier to remove. Seeing his attire, it felt as if he was truly expecting Ruby.
Eren slowly entered the room, frowning. This was the perfect opportunity to kill Fey. So far, nothing had gone wrong.
If anything, everything had gone a little too smoothly, which gave Eren a bad feeling. Was it because of his Destiny Physique? He couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss.
In the past, Eren often experienced bad luck in situations like these. Although his luck had started changing ever since he received the Destiny Physique of the Eastern Main Character, that physique wasn’t invincible.
If that was the case, the main character wouldn’t have died in his hands.
Every time things went smoothly, Eren
grew suspicious. It was even more
suspicious since the author had especially warned him.
Although he didn’t explicitly say that the danger was related to Fey, still he couldn’t lower his guard.
“Take off your clothes and get on the bed. I will join you after finishing my wine,” Fey further said, still assuming the guest to be Ruby.
Eren approached Fey instead of going for the bed.
“You naughty girl, are you really that excited that you can’t wait?” Fey laughed, hearing the footsteps getting closer.
“In that case, I will make your night tonight.” In a single sip, he finished his wine.
Hearing the words of Fey, nothing felt out of place. Still, that sense of danger was only
growing stronger with each passing
second. Eren’s grip on his sword
strengthened.
He swung his Sword, but it wasn’t targeting
Fey. Instead of attacking Fey, Eren turned
around.
Clank~
A metallic sound rang out, echoing
throughout the room. It was as if two
strong metals had clashed with each other.
“How did you find out?” Eren asked,
pushing the attacker back.
The attacker landed in the distance, gently
brushing his fingers on the blade of his sword. He felt a little disappointed. If Eren was a little slow, his sword would have sliced through the young man’s neck.
He truly didn’t expect Eren to react so fast.
“How did I know that you were going to attack me?” Fey slowly turned around, revealing an amused smile on his lips.
He tossed a small red box at Eren’s feet which was completely empty as the item inside it had been used.
“Why don’t you take a guess?” he asked as more people made their presence known inside the room.
The large room, where only two people
were present before, was now filled with many more people. There were a total of fifteen family heads of the major northern families.
“You really went out of your way to arrange a welcoming party for me. Should I be glad to receive such a welcome?” Eren asked, his gaze observing all newly arrived guests.
He didn’t know their identities but he could feel that they were not weak. Although they weren’t as strong as the Cardinal, they weren’t much weaker in comparison either.
Even more problematic was their number,
as well as the fact that they were leaders of powerful families with long histories.
Almost every family head was carrying artifacts that increased their fighting abilities. This had truly become a troublesome situation.
Even with the identification skill, there
were just too many artifacts in their possession for him to go through all their
details.
“You know, I really hate you,” Fey told Eren
while the Kiel Family Head refilled his glass with more wine. “It’s because of you, I lost the Eastern Overlord. If I had enslaved her, I wouldn’t have bothered enslaving these
weaklings.”
“With a slave like that woman, I would have already conquered the Western Overlord, instead of wasting my time here. I even lost
my dear mother because of you. I hadn’t even tasted them yet, but you freed them from my control. You are truly evil.”
Fey’s voice was brimming with his hate towards Eren. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Eren had made him lose so much. He even lost a clone that he hadn’t been able to recreate yet.
He took a deep breath, his expressions returning to normal.
Instead of hate, he looked at Eren with a mocking gaze as he continued, “However, I should also thank you. It’s because of you, managed to grow my enslaving abilities to
remove the weakness that you exploited before.”
“My old slaves had a real flaw which you
managed to exploit, but I have long since
removed that flaw. You are really lucky to be dying in the hands of my improved slaves.”
He took a sip from the glass, taunting him
as he gave all the credit to Eren.
“Are you not going to say anything? That is very boring. Fine. I will answer your question if you also answer a question of
mine.”

Fey didn’t command his men to kill Eren yet. As Eren was already surrounded by the family heads, there was no escape for him.
Fey wasn’t in any hurry. If anything, he was more curious about Eren’s identity. “How did you find out about my system?
How did you know that I was a Transmigrator?” Fey asked Eren. Eren simply raised a middle finger in
response. “Why don’t you call the author and ask him that question?” “Author?” Fey tilted his head sideways,
gazing at Eren with great interest. “Did you
also meet him? Doesn’t that mean you are
also…?”
“Ha…hahahaha! Now it makes more sense!
No wonder you knew about me! So you are
the same!”
Fey grabbed his forehead, unable to control his laughter. Everything started making sense for him. He also understood why Eren wanted to stop him. After a long time, his laughter abruptly
stopped. He revealed his bloodshot eyes. “You know, that makes me even more upset.”.
