Chapter 241 - Klaus And Reynolds' Regret
They decided to get the wine from Smith's room first, before heading over to the mayor's room.
Smith gave them a rough description of the villa, so they had some knowledge about where was where.
"How about him, what do we do to him?" Reynolds pointed at Richard.
"Alice." Grey looked at her.
She had the final decision on what would happen to Richard, if she took pity on him and decided they should let him go, then he should count himself lucky. But the group knew given Alice's personality, she probably wouldn't want him to live because of what he thought of doing to her.
"Kill him, keeping him alive doesn't change anything." Alice said decisively.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
According to what Smith said, Richard didn't come with the important guests, which meant he wasn't of any use. The group planned to keep Smith alive since he could be used as leverage if by chance things didn't go as planned.
They didn't know the strength of the guests the mayor received. However, Grey was a little hopeful since Void said he only sensed a single person who should either be in the Origin Plane or close to it.
Klaus walked closer to the unconscious Richard before fl.i.c.k.i.n.g his hand. Multiple ice shards came from the ground, piercing Richard's body.
Richard died a quick death, he didn't even know what killed him. Klaus went on to further tap a finger on his body, freezing him entirely.
'*Sigh* If only my ice ability has gotten to that level, I would have been able to freeze him, then break him into smithereens, leaving no evidence behind.' He thought sadly.
The thin wall Smith previously created moved to the side with little to no effort, and Grey was left speechless by the number of wine jugs he found in there. There were at least twenty in there.
'This guy sure does love his wines.' He thought internally while searching for the wine Smith brought out.
It took a while, but he finally found it after almost two minutes of tasting the different wines. He kept some that he found good, while he left the rest.
After keeping the wines, he left the bathroom. The others were waiting for him in the room . Reynolds placed Smith on the bed since carrying him constantly was uncomfortable. Klaus and Alice were sitting on the bed. They all looked in his direction when they heard his footsteps.
"We should..." Grey froze mid-sentence before continuing, "Hide, someone's coming."
He quickly went back to the bathroom, hiding in the closet.
Klaus and Reynolds hid under the bed, while Alice hid behind the curtain that was on the window. They left Smith on the bed, trying to make it seem like he was already asleep.
Tap! Tap! Creak!
The footsteps increased before a lady walked in, she looked to be around her late twenties, and from her clothes, it was easy to tell that she was a maid in the villa. She had deep brown long hair, a slender and well-curved body, a slightly average-looking oval face, and blue eyes.
"Young lord, are you asleep?" She asked while blinking her long eyelashes as she approached the bed.
Getting no response from the unconscious Smith, she walked over to the bathroom, "I'll go freshen up."
This wasn't the first time Smith was keeping her quiet, but whenever she gets on the bed, he would always hold her tight, as if afraid she would disappear the next moment.
Klaus and Reynolds who heard this looked at each other with regret deep in their eyes.
'Why didn't I hide in the bathroom?'
