Chapter 423: Enjoying too much
“Y-you are right. Since you are already going out, I would be really grateful if you can handle this matter as well.”
To save his life, the Hall Master had no choice. He could just curse his bad luck that he was caught between a rock and a hard place.
If he offended this person, he could easily be killed. Meanwhile, this person wasn’t even going to get punished.
Only three people in the Necromancer Tower could stop this person. The first was the Necromancer Tower Master itself. The second person was the one who had instructed him. And the third person… He was busy guarding the door of Hell.
None of them was going to hurt this person to avenge him, even if he was to be killed brutally here.
As for investigation, does it truly matter who did it? He was just listening to a higher up. At least he had an excuse.
“I will leave it to you.” Appearing pale, he opened the door and stepped out of the
room.
After leaving the room, he fell to his knees weakly. Only he knew how hard it was to remain standing in front of that person.
He was scared for quite some time, wondering if the person was none to come after him. However, that person didn’t come out of the room, which made the Hall Master sigh in relief.
“If the rumors are true, then I really wonder. Who was going to come out on top? The psychopaths of the Demon Sect, or the monster of the Necromancer Tower?” He placed his hand on his chest, which was still beating rapidly.
Even after he had become a part of the Necromancer Tower, he was still as scared as he used to be the first time he entered the Necromancer Tower.
“Whatever. It has nothing to do with me anymore. If anything, I should thank my stars.” After a long time, he forced his body up and started returning.
He didn’t return to the corridor of the dark
flames to inform the person. He didn’t have the courage to meet him a second time.
Eren listened to Anya and Leo’s conversation carefully, trying to grasp the
situation. However, it became clear that
Leo wasn’t lying. It was clear that someone from the Necromancer Tower was actually coming here.
Even Leo didn’t know who was coming,
which was the most problematic part. It could be anyone from the random member of the Necromancer Tower to the Tower
Master himself.
Ruby had informed Leo and Anya about
what took place, lying to the best of her
abilities. Her own tragedy and loss of her father’s life didn’t make anyone suspect her
either.
Not only was she a member of the Northern Continent but she was also the
heir of the Kiel Family. In their eyes, she
had no reason to betray her family.
Anya waited for Leo to question her story,
worried that he might find a flaw in it. Fortunately, he didn’t question her
anymore.
She sighed in relief, her fear going down a
little. She returned to burying her father.
Anya filled soul in her hand and started pouring it over the grave of her father. Eren watched silently from behind.
His expressions soon darkened as he felt Anya approach him, revealing clear hostility. His fist tightened as he wondered
if he might actually have to kill that girl.
Fortunately, the girl walked past him. Even
though her speed was so fast that no
ordinary person could even see an afterimage, Eren’s pupils followed her movements clearly.
He watched Anya appear behind Ruby in
the blink of an eye, grabbing the girl by her
hair.
She forcefully grabbed Ruby’s hair and
pulled her back, tossing her away from her father’s grave.
“Did you not hear that a representative
from the Necromancer Tower will be coming? Despite that, you are trying to bury a corpse that needs to be investigated by them?” Anya frowned. “Just what are your intentions?”
“Before being a corpse, that person was my
father!” Even though Ruby was scared of
them, she also lost her temper as she wasn’t even allowed to bury her father’s corpse.
“If your father were to die, would you bury him or treat him as a display for other people?!” Ruby exclaimed, almost losing all
sense of her fear in that moment, not even thinking about death.
“You!” Anya frowned. “Are you seriously comparing insects like your father with my father? Just because they are all called the
major families, do you really think they are the same? Naive fook, truly.”
Anya didn’t attack Ruby, noticing that Leo
was also getting impatient. If she tried to attack Ruby, it was clear that Leo was going to intervene.
It wasn’t good to be seen fighting, especially since the representative could arrive at any time. It was even worse since
they didn’t know whose side the representative was from.
If the representative was on Leo’s side,
fighting him now was foolish. Hence, she
didn’t cross his red line, just like he didn’t cross hers.
She turned her back on Ruby, grabbing the corpse of the Kiel Family Head by the collar. She pulled the corpse out, tossing it away so it could be in clear view of everyone.
“Father!” Ruby rushed to her father, tears
streaming out of her eyes. However, she was stopped by a powerful aura that forced her down to her knees.
Under the powerful aura, her face was
planted on the ground. She couldn’t even raise her head to look at her father’s
corpse.
Anya walked closer to her, leaving only a
few centimeters of distance between her
feet and Anya’s face.
“Little girl, don’t test your luck. If you
don’t
want to become food for my little baby, then you should really behave yourself!” she told Ruby, who couldn’t even raise her head to look at her face.
All Ruby could see were Anya’s shoes that
were covered in the blood of innocent
people.
“Aren’t you enjoying this too much?” A
voice came from behind, just when Anya seemed to be humiliating Ruby.
Anya thought that Leo was going to be the
first to intervene but even she was surprised as the voice didn’t belong to Leo.
Instead, it was the insignificant young servant who was speaking..
