Chapter 115 - Ruthless

"I'm Gilles… I'm just one of Sir Fabrice's lackeys…"

Gilles said cautiously. He realized just now that this person has an abnormal control with his Aura! He's actually capable of suppressing the 9mm rounds from his pistol!

If that was the case, he might as well give up since he didn't want to die yet. It doesn't matter whether this guy has combat experience or not, there's no way to hurt him with that kind of absurd protection in his body.

Perhaps, if he's carrying a higher caliber weapon, he might have a chance since Cyril surely doesn't have unlimited Aura. Maybe 30 to 50 bullets from a machine gun might be enough already.

"Fabrice from the Kemmer Clan? What does he want from me?"

Cyril recalled the overweight man who gave up the Alchemist's Random Items and Max Stealth Potion to him. He had a bad impression of him when they both met each other's eyes.

"Ugh… That greasy man wants to take all your belongings… He even wanted to have his hands on the gorgeous lady with you. We're really against it. However, we can't disobey his orders! We're really innocent here. I just have to work hard for my family!"

Gilles begged for his life. He already realized how powerful this person was.

If he didn't do it now, Cyril might kill him immediately.

"Blergh!"

Suddenly, a sound of vomiting was heard.

It was Bonnie who had seen the people killed by Cyril's blade. Though it wasn't her first time seeing a dead person. It was just too gruesome to see a person's limbs scattered everywhere.

The stench of blood was also too strong!

"Cyril, you—Aren't you a bit too excessive?" Bonnie muttered but she wasn't really trying to stop Cyril. After all, she knows how cruel the Awakened Society is. He knows that Magical Creatures aren't just the enemies they have to look out for. Sometimes, the most dangerous are the fellow humans.

"I'm sorry, Aunt. However, if I didn't do this, they will just continue doing the dirty work of that ugly bastard." Cyril replied.

He had to steel his heart if he wanted to ensure his Aunt's safety. She's the only relative he has in this world and he can't let anything happen to her.

"Haa~ I will be returning to the car then…" Bonnie sighed as she left the place immediately. To be honest, she's also quite relieved that Cyril decided to show this side of him in front of her.

It feels like she's getting closer to the truth about Cyril's drastic changes in the past month.

After five minutes, Cyril entered approached her car silently.

"Let's leave…"

"Alright… But how about the mastermind? I'm pretty sure that they were just hired to do this."

"Well, Fabrice already left the place… Should I chase after him?" Cyril asked.

This question stumped Bonnie.

"Ugh… That guy has many bodyguards with him for sure. It might be too dangerous to go after him. Anyway, can't you just report it to the Association? He's targeting us anyway."

Bonnie suggested as she started driving away. As for the corpses left behind, Cyril must've dealt with them already, right?

She's even thinking that he took their bodies inside his mysterious storage space to ensure that they'll not leave any evidence at all.

"Hmmm… I don't think it's necessary to report it… That person is quite famous anyway… I can easily look for him later."

"Oh… That's true."

Bonnie remained quiet throughout the whole trip probably because she was too tired or just concentrating a lot while driving.

"What happened? Why are those guys not returning yet?! There's five of them and the woman was only an F-Rank Awakened. How hard can it be?"

Fabrice complained as he waited in his hideout for almost an hour already. He went here as he's planning to play around with the woman that his bodyguards are about to capture.

"Boss, there might be some problem. I could contact them."

"What? Don't tell me, they were really defeated by that newbie?"

"I'm not sure… But perhaps, he has a helper assigned by the Association? Though it is extremely rare for them to do this, I couldn't think of any other reason… Cyril Vermont doesn't have any connection to other strong Awakened at all…"

"This…"

"We have to leave now boss… Until we ensure the situation of Gilles' team, it's better if we change our current location first."

"That's true… Find out the truth about this!"

Fabrice was unhappy now that he has to actually leave this place instead.

He knows that Cyril purchased the Max Stealth Potion after all. If he used it to hunt him now, it might be the end of his life!

"Hmph! You better not think about it… Even if he learned that I'm the mastermind, I would just target his Aunt… There's no way that he could protect her 24/7!"

Fabrice then felt a bit better since he knows Cyril's weakness.

"Contractor… Let's find that Arcane World now… You're wasting too much time doing such random things, you know?"

Xagan suggested as soon as they managed to return home.

This demon seemed so frustrated for a while now. A few days ago, Cyril used 15 days of his lifespan to find out the secrets of the Elven Queen's Necklace.

Apparently, in exchange for that, he found out that the Necklace is indeed connected to the Queen! The wooden pendant has a flickering flame inside which is an Elven Magic that displays the queen's soul.

If the small flame inside was extinguished. It means that the Queen has already died.

It is such a straightforward item but there is another function in this, it could locate each other's whereabouts!

Xagan mentioned that the location of the Queen is surely in the Arcane World.

As for the specific Arcane World, Cyril has to spend 250 days in order to know the details.. Needless to say, he didn't want to spend that much. Instead, he's planning to just collect more Arcane World and try his luck… After all, he could do a lot of things and Crystal Hunting during that 250 days!
