Chapter 321: Shadow wolf

It was late in the evening when Alex returned, Luna and Cecyl welcomed him.

''Mr. Alexander, where is my father?" 

Cecyl asked with a heavy expression on her face; Alex only said one word.

''Dead.'' 

''Luna, let's go. Where is Sera? What is she doing?" Alex asked Luna. 

Cecyl froze on the spot; a single tear escaped from her eyes; Luna and Sera had talked to her about what her father did, her father colluded with the bandits, he accepted money from the other party, in return he let them kidnap and experiment on the people he should be protecting when everything went south, he fled and left her behind. Although her father was rotten, he was still her father after all, and learning that he was dead, Cecyl couldn't help but get emotional. He couldn't blame Alex for what he had done. Cecyl is a pretty smart girl; if Alex did not kill her father, the dark guild will, however, it would be too cruel, too vicious, he would go through hell before dying. So, it could be said that Alex killing Charles could be considered as a favor; at least he got an honorable death instead of going through the dark guild gruesome death.

''Sigh! I must persevere. I will take care of the village until a good villager chief come. I will use this opportunity to correct your wrongdoings.'' Cecyl vowed. 

Unknown to her, Luna and Alex were watching her from afar, and when they heard Cecyl says that, they smiled before they went to join Sera, the latter was speaking with someone via transmission stone.

''Okay, understood, Leader. Tomorrow, a shall bring a Shadow wolf to your location.'' 

The person on the other side said it was a woman's voice. 

''Thanks, 88,'' Sera said before cutting off the communication; she turned around and faced Alex and Luna.

''With the help of a Shadow wolf, we might be able to locate that man's base, and with a bit of luck, Gracier may be detained at the same place,'' Sera explained before adding as she could see the confusion on the two faces when she talked about Shadow wolf.

''Shadow wolf is a special monster with the ability to locate anything it smells radius two hundred kilometers. It is an extremely rare monster; they are almost extinct, only a few organizations have one.'' 

''I see. Let's rest early; tomorrow might be a busy day.'' Alex said before excusing himself from the girls' room.

After closing the door, Alex leaned against the wall and muttered.

''Alexandra, please be safe.'' 

〖Sorry, Master, to be this useless. My senses couldn't cover a large area, so I can't help you. I have tried to get in touch with Ignia, but it isn't working. She seemed to have been isolated by something; I don't know what.〗Silveria explained, even though she wished to help, there was nothing she can do, all methods she used didn't work, she scanned the whole region, an area of hundred kilometers, but she didn't find anything.

''Don't worry. I will find her, and I swear to obliterates whoever is behind this. If it's an organization, I will erase it. The world we will know that touching a Touch is like wishing for the Death god to visit your family.'' 

Alex's voice was cold; his eyes were devoid of emotions. Silveria sighed while Nyx, who was still chained against the black throne, smiled.

Late in the night, in an unknown location, deep underground was a laboratory. 

The man Alex and Sera fought against and crippled one his arms appeared. 

''Shit, shit!!! I swear I will kill him.'' 

''Shut up, idiot. You fail such a simple mission. Didn't I tell you not to fight him yet?" Maddog chided the man with one arm.

''Tch!" 

The latter clicked his tongue in annoyance; however, when he was about to say something, the man with golden hair and eyes appeared.

''Leader.'' the man with one arm bowed respectfully. 

''So, you lost? And I guess you didn't manage to get that stone either?" The man asked; his golden eyes glared at the one-armed man; the latter almost kneeled; the pressure he was feeling was no joke; he didn't dare to look at his leader in the face.

''L- Leader, give me another chance. I promise you I will not fail. I-" 

The one-armed man abruptly stopped talking and looked down, where his heart should be; there was a huge hole there; his heart was missing. This hole was so big that Maddog, who was behind him, could be seen. 

The man with golden eyes crushed the heart he was holding; simultaneously, the one-armed man falls to the ground. He had lost his life. 

''Why did you do that? Do you think Rank 12 is cabbage? That we have a lot of them?" Maddog was furious; the man indeed failed in his task, but this is not a reason to eliminate him; he could still be used. 

''Calm down. I have my reason for doing this. This fool could have lived a little longer if he didn't come back here right way.'' the man with golden eyes sat comfortably; the presence of a corpse did not seem to bother him much.

''Do explain,'' Maddog asked, intrigued.

''You see. I'm hundred percent sure that the arm he lost will be used to track us. Even though we were to send him away, the Shadow wolves can still find this location because it was the first location that an idiot came after escaping, so I have to kill him. Let's not waste time; we will move to another location and start the extraction.'' the man with golden eyes declared while standing up.

''I thought we would have to wait a few more days; I'm still analyzing her blood. Well, I can still do it even after she lost one eye. Hehehe! Soon, it will be completed.''

The man with golden eyes stopped and looked strangely at the mad scientist and shook his head. 

'A madman.' 

''Oh? I guess we should let our future guess some kind of present. Don't you agree with me?" The man with golden eyes suddenly asked.

''Hehehe! I got you. Leave it to me.'' Maddog said before moving toward Gracier's cell.
