Chapter 216: A Klutz

"Now, tell me!" Desire said as he abnormally looked large and big from the elf's perspective.

However, even though he was threatening the elf, the elf didn't show any fear at all and just had that klutz look on her face.

In fact, she was looking straight at Desire's ominous red eyes and she was not even flinching.

It was as if she didn't believe that Desire would really kill her if she doesn't say anything.

And that was the truth as the elf finally spoke with her soft lips, "You...won't kill me."

And what she said made Desire's eyebrows wriggle a little bit before eventually, his face turned into a scary frown.

"What did you say?" He asked with a low tone of voice. His voice was so low that the room actually became cold.

It was then that the elf finally moved as she stood up, and after she stood up, she continued to speak as she stared straight at Desire's red eyes.

"You...won't kill me?" She then tilted her head as she raised one of her fingers to her soft lips as if to ask Desire if he would kill her.

And seeing this...repeat itself, again and again, Desire popped a vein in his forehead.

"I said, tell me what you know about the Monster's Way...are you stupid or what?" Desire said as he gritted his teeth.

Of course, he was not done as he continued, "First off, how did you even know about the Monster's Way?"

"Ah! Are you asking about the Monster's Way?" The elf said as her white eyes widen a little bit now that she finally understood what Desire was talking about.

This made Desire a little bit more hopeful that he would know more things about the Monster's Way as it seems that the elf knows things about it, but...

"Hmm...Monster's Way, hmm...ah, I don't remember," The elf said as she nodded her head with a satisfied look on her face.

Well, she really couldn't remember anything about the Monster's Way at all.

There was nothing she could do about that, but Desire actually popped another vein in his neck as he thought that the elf was playing with him.

"You...are you playing with me?" Desire murmured with a voice that was breaking...and creaking.

It was as if his voice was boiling with his anger!

However, before even Desire's anger and rage could hit rock bottom, the elf spoke again.

"Playing with you? You want to play?" The elf spoke with a clueless look on her face.

After all, she couldn't understand what Desire was talking about.

She, of all people, didn't expect that Desire would want to play with her when she was here to heal him.

Right, the elf knew that she was here to heal him, and to see that her patient wants to play with her...it was weird as fuck.

And it was at this moment that Desire realized that he...was talking to a very slow person. No, it would be better to call her dumb at this point.

However, that was not the main point. The main point was Desire was incredibly shocked and confused about this situation.

Why? It was because...Desire didn't know how to handle her.

'S-she's stupid...or not? Damn it...' Desire thought as he bit his lips.

He didn't know what to do in this situation to make sure that the woman would tell him things.

They were going in circles, despite the short conversation, and Desire knew that it would be a waste of time to continue this without any...outside help.

'The merchant team that she's with! I bet they know how to talk with this woman!' Desire thought as he remembered that the elf was with someone else in the city.

And as soon as he remembered that, he decided to have them in this to make sure that the elf...would be able to tell him things about the Monster's Way.

No matter how little or trivial the information that the elf got on the Monster's Way, Desire wanted to have it.

Having something is better than nothing, after all.

"Come with me!" Desire said, but he didn't have any intention of letting the woman choose as he...literally grabbed her head and began to run fast towards the door.

Of course, with Desire's speed and strength, he didn't have any problems carrying the elf this way, and they were able to exit the room fast.

And as soon as they were outside, Desire did a quick take and used his senses to feel around.

He could feel that Jarina and Amelia were walking down the hallway and were near to where he was right now.

'Amelia! She got to know where the merchant team this woman is with!' Desire thought as he disappeared and went towards Jarina and Amelia's location.

Of course, Desire was fast, and it didn't take him long to reach Jarina and Amelia and appear right in front of them.

"Desire!" Jarina shouted out loud when she first noticed that Desire was now standing in front of them.

For Jarina, and even for Amelia, Desire just appeared out of nowhere, and that was...they weren't even able to tell that Desire was about to come here.

"Jarina, wait," Desire said as he then placed the elf in front of him.

Desire then turned his head towards Amelia and spoke, "Do you know the merchant team that she's with? Lead me to them."

"I want to talk with them." He said, and this prompted the two women to look at the elf with weird gazes.

After all, Desire's black hand was grabbing the elf's head strongly, but even then, the elf looked like she didn't care about it.

She was just touching Desire's hand with both of her hands, but the expression on her face clearly shows that she wasn't in pain or something like that.

And that was...amazing in itself.

It was then that Amelia broke out of her stupor and spoke, "Ahem! I don't know the merchant team that she's with, as I wasn't the one who found her, but Ryu and his team should know."

Amelia said, but she was not done as she continued, "Shall I lead you to him?"

"Yeah!" Desire answered right away, and Amelia...disappeared from where she was standing as she moved fast.

Well, Amelia expected that Desire would be able to keep up, and it seems that she was not wrong as she could feel that Desire was just right behind her.

However, that was not all as she could even feel that Jarina was right behind her.

'The young miss, too? Geez, they are literally monsters at this point...' Amelia thought as she looked back a little bit.

And as soon as she did, her eyes widened a little bit.

Why? It was because...Jarina was hanging on Desire's neck from behind.

And that means that...Jarina was just holding on to Desire to keep up with Amelia.

'So it was only the young master...' Amelia thought as she looked back in front.

And it was because Desire seems like he could handle running faster than this, Amelia increased her speed as she disappeared from Desire's vision.

However, Desire didn't care at all as he just followed right after her.

And while they were running, Desire had a thought in his head.

'How big is this damned mansion?!'

Right, they were running for a short amount of time, but the speed that they had was superb.

The fact that they still had not reached their destination means that the mansion was as big as a giant.

And this just further irritated Desire as he wanted to talk to the dumb elf as soon as possible.

'This woman better know something or else...I will really get pissed,' Desire thought as his red eyes glowed in the dark like a predator watching its prey.

And it was in this way that the group of Desire, Amelia, Jarina, and the elf reached their destination.

Of course, their destination was Ryu, who was standing right in front of the main door of the mansion.

"Ryu!" Desire shouted out loud as soon as he saw him.

He then appeared right in front of him, and put the elf down, and asked straight away.

"Where is the merchant team that this woman is affiliated with? Bring them here now!"

"Young master!" Ryu said in surprise as he didn't expect that Desire would show up with...Jarina and the elf in his hands.

However, he broke out of his stupor pretty quickly when he realized what Desire said.

"The merchant team? I believe that there is someone else who came with the...elf and that she is waiting in the guest room of the mansion." Ryu said as he looked in his right.

And as if he was waiting for this, the man who called Ryu 'Boss Cap'n' showed up.

"Boss Cap'n! There is someone who came with the...elf, and she is currently waiting in the guest room. As she wasn't needed, we didn't give her permission to come with us to meet the young master." He said.
