Volume 4, Chapter 63 – A Certain Glasses-Wearing Man Observing in Secret

“So you brought me here… your main purpose was to have me help monitor the surrounding situation?”

“Yeah, I don’t know if it’s my imagination. I always feel like recently, someone has been hiding in the shadows observing me…”

“Shadows? Observing?”

Recalling what Serveiling had said earlier, Ling Xi slightly narrowed her eyes.

Although Octopus Sister was the weakest in combat among the four great vassals of the Terrabond Lineage, due to the special nature of her spatial attributes, her perception abilities were the strongest.

Putting down the apple in her hands, Ling Xi looked around with a grave expression.

Enmmm, it seems like someone really is secretly sensing us?

Where are they hiding?

Also, glancing at Serveiling who was having a grand time not far away, Octopus Sister’s hair practically stood on end.

You perverted cat!!

You’re definitely not being a proper decoy!! You’re obviously just having fun!!

Can’t you be serious for once?!

Just as Octopus Sister was bristling with anger, in another private room downstairs from their booth, a somewhat thin man with natural curly dark green short hair, wearing glasses and looking like a weak student, was silently sitting on a sofa, sipping freshly brewed tea while carefully sensing the situation upstairs.

When he realized that Octopus Sister’s power was trying to lock onto his aura, the glasses-wearing man immediately suppressed his perception spiritual power to avoid Ling Xi tracking him through his spiritual energy signature.

“Worthy of little octopus, her perception abilities are still strong. Nearly got discovered.”

Leaning back on the sofa, the glasses-wearing man said calmly.

Well, there’s no need to continue watching anyway.

At least now it’s confirmed that the vassals rarely stay by Master’s side normally.

They can basically be ignored.

The moment he reached this conclusion, a trace of displeasure quietly appeared in the glasses-wearing man’s eyes.

“That means Master is basically being accompanied by that newly adopted child…”

Biting his lip, unusual emotions overflowed from the glasses-wearing man’s crimson pupils.

Rеаⅾ oո KatRеadinɡСαfе

It’s okay, Master, I’ll take you back.

The person who should be accompanying Master’s side is me.

As this thought emerged from his mind, the glasses-wearing man suddenly clenched his five fingers, and the teacup in his hand was burned to ash by blood-colored flames at a visible speed.

Although some cold thoughts arose, the glasses-wearing man quickly regained his composure.

Although he really wanted to take Master away right now, this obviously wasn’t the time.

Indeed, over these two years, his power had recovered quite a bit.

But he still hadn’t reached his peak state.

At his peak, he had possessed a full eighteen contract beasts.

And now?

Due to avoiding detection by Yelena, his actions had always been sneaky, so that over two years, he had only obtained five new contract beasts.

His strength was still far from sufficient.

More importantly…

“If I want to return… if I can’t use House Solrog’s passage… I’ll have to open one myself. But to open one… I need even more power.”

Staring at the ceiling, the glasses-wearing man muttered to himself with a serious expression.

More power… meant he needed even stronger contract targets.

Targets stronger than those eighteen contract beasts from hundreds of years ago!

Perhaps it’s time.

After thinking this, the glasses-wearing man silently took out a small but crystal-clear blue diamond from his chest pocket.

Blue diamonds were already rare in this world.

Not to mention this blue diamond was also etched with special black mandala patterns.

As blood-red energy fluctuations flowed from the glasses-wearing man’s hand into the blue diamond, ethereal blue light quietly rippled from the diamond.

The next moment, with a slight upturn of his mouth corners, the glasses-wearing man slowly spoke:

“Please inform your king… may I ask, has she made her decision?”

At the same time, in the lava region of a certain sky island, a white-haired girl about fourteen years old with twin tails was leisurely sitting by the shore of a lava lake, casually soaking her small feet in the molten lava.

“Da la, da la da la~ la la la la~”

Soaking while humming a tune.

Just then, a man in a suit with an extremely elegant appearance walked over from nearby.

“My King, are you feeling well?”

The man asked respectfully.

Hearing this, the white-haired girl stopped humming, blinked her ethereal blue eyes, and looked at the man behind her with quite a pleasant mood.

“Of course, since revival~ I’ve recovered about seventy to eighty percent~”

“Seventy to eighty percent…”

The man… that is, Zhulan, the second-in-command of the Vassals of Sky, clenched his fists with considerable displeasure.

Those dogs from Paradise Manor, to be so treacherous.

If they hadn’t changed their minds at the last minute, the King wouldn’t have been killed like that…

And because of the savior’s power, she still hasn’t fully recovered.

Of course, displeasure with Paradise Manor was one thing.

Toward the leader of the Vassals of Sky before him, Zhulan obviously also felt dissatisfied.

“My King, if you had actively withdrawn back then… wouldn’t everything have been fine? Why did you insist on taking that hit head-on… sigh .”

Hearing this, Ulutiel just laughed carelessly and replied with a matter-of-fact tone:

“That was the First Savior’s love~ A rare opportunity, of course I had to enjoy it. And that feeling~ was indeed quite nice~ hehe~”

As she spoke, as if recalling the moment of being killed, a rich blush couldn’t help but appear on Ulutiel’s beautiful face.

Her delicate body trembled.

Some strange golden-red liquid even quietly flowed from beneath her, directly corroding and melting the giant stone below.

Watching Ulutiel like this, Zhulan dejectedly raised his hand to his forehead:

“But… your death this time completely disrupted all our original plans… sigh … forget it.”

Considering his king’s characteristics, Zhulan quickly gave up on saying more and could only sigh wearily.

On the other side, after stabilizing her emotions somewhat, Ulutiel licked her lips and asked playfully.

“By the way, Zhulan. You came specifically to find me~ there should be something else, right?”

“Yes.”

Zhulan nodded.

“That human contacted you again.”

“Human?”

“The one who came alone to our territory last time to negotiate with you.”

“That bold fellow?”

“Yes. He wants to ask you. Regarding his proposal, how have you considered it?”

Watching Ulutiel fall into silence, Zhulan’s expression became somewhat strange.

As the first person serving by the King’s side, Zhulan knew everything about Ulutiel clearly.

Even this body of the Celestial Blight was mainly designed by him.

But now?

What exactly had that glasses-wearing man discussed with the King that even he didn’t know?

For a moment, a trace of displeasure overflowed in Zhulan’s heart.

However, he didn’t show this emotion, instead respectfully lowering his head and waiting for Ulutiel’s response.

After a moment of silence, Ulutiel’s mouth corners couldn’t help but rise slightly.

“He wants me to become his contract beast? Hehe… truly an extremely bold idea. Isn’t he afraid of backlash?~ But~ it’s somewhat interesting.”

Dozens of minutes later, in the Clavino nightclub, as special information transmitted from the blue diamond, the glasses-wearing man’s mouth corners also rose.

“Looks like I finally got some good news. Hehe.”

But before he could smile for long, the glasses-wearing man frowned and looked at the booth door with displeasure.

“Didn’t I say I don’t need you to call girls over?!”

Being glared at by the glasses-wearing man, the nightclub owner who had just entered awkwardly stepped back.

However, the next moment, this nightclub owner showed a fawning smile.

“Sir, rest assured, I didn’t call any girls over~ I misunderstood earlier, didn’t understand your preferences clearly, but now I’ve corrected it~”

“Hah?”

Hearing this, the glasses-wearing man blinked in confusion.

The next moment, as the nightclub owner waved his hand, the room door opened again, and four muscular men wearing only thongs and radiating philosophical aura walked into the room with lewd smiles.

“Eh?”

Glancing at the four strongmen before him, the owner smiled wickedly.

“For someone thin like you, it should be that, right~. It’s all my fault for not seeing it earlier~. But rest assured, our Night City can satisfy any type of customer~. We guarantee to make you comfortable~”

As he spoke, the owner gave the muscle men nearby an instruction.

“Go, take good care of the boss~”

Seeing four gay men constantly approaching him, the smile on the glasses-wearing man’s face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a trace of panic as he suddenly curled up in the corner.

“Hey!!!! I’m warning you!! Don’t come any closer!! I don’t have those preferences anymore!!”
