"How do we avoid the Search? The first thing Faith will do is conduct a search in this area... and she will personally check every single house," Jess spoke.

"Well, she will not find you until you are underground," Anon said as he summoned a magic crystal in his hand.

Thud

Anon took the crystal in his hand and punched the floor. The wood broke, and his hand went directly into the ground.

<Lab Creator>Suddenly, a massive hall was created inside the ground.

"You will hide here when they come in to search the house tomorrow," Anon commanded as he took his hand out of the ground.

"What if she used detection magic?" Jess asked.

"I will take care of it," Mike said as he raised his hand.

"B-But... You are an assassin, right?" Lucy asked as she looked at Mike.

"Yeah, but I know advanced magic as well. Circumstances taught me everything," Mike replied.

"Okay, what about the family member's count? They will count the members of the family," Jess spoke up again.

"Yeah, that's something I can't take care of. Sorry, master," Mike said as he looked at Anon.

"Don't worry, I will take care of that. But I don't understand, why do you keep the family member's count?" Anon asked Jess.

"Well... It was my idea to keep the population under control, unlike you humans. You are like a little reproducing factory... That's always at work," Jess spoke as she looked at Anon.

"Yeah, right. Once you become the queen, I will teach you what a real reproducing factory looks like," Anon said as he looked at Jess.noVεLUsb.coM

"A-Are you threatening me? W-What are you going to do with me, huh?" Jess spoke in a loud voice.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Anon was sad that he lost 50 ogres and No.7899 was also a big loss for him. When Jess spoke in a louder tone, Anon's mind ticked off.

He immediately grabbed Jessica's shoulders with both of his hands and pinned her to the wall.

His eyes glowed bright purple as he looked into Jessica's eyes.

"Say one more word from that filthy mouth of yours, and you will know what I will do with you.

You are a goddamn slave... I promised you to make you the queen of the Elven kingdom, but you thought that I am surrendering in front of you, right?

Don't think of me as one of the other pathetic humans, Luv. I am not your regular motherfucker... whom you will say shit to and act all bossy around.

I let you say things to me because I thought you looked cute, but you don't anymore.

Even if you become the queen of this kingdom, just remember one thing: you will still remain my slave.

Believe me, you are not the only one whom I can make queen; that girl standing right there... I can make her the queen too," Anon said as he pointed at Rel.

Jess was scared... She hadn't seen Anon's face like this before. Anger was clear on his face, and his eyes also scared her to death.

It was as if someone was looking directly into her soul.

"B-But-" She tried to speak something as tears started coming out of her eyes.

"Don't make me do things that I don't want to do with you. Do you understand?" Anon asked.

Nod-Nod

Jess immediately nodded in agreement as she started crying silently.

"Good..."

"I-I am... Sob-Sob Sorry, master." Jess spoke as she looked at Anon.

"Good... Now back to the business." Anon said as he removed his hands from the wall.

"Where is your husband's body?" Anon asked Lucy.

"Master... He is in the last room," No.300 informed.

"Okay, let's go." Anon said as all of them moved towards the last room.

No.300 opened the door, and all of them entered inside.

The room was empty, and only a table was in the room's left corner.

Anon looked at the middle of the floor and noticed that a fat male elf's body was lying there.

"Good... Mike, I need you to pour me some of your blood into this." Anon said as he gave Mike a glass beaker.

"Yes, master." Mike said as he immediately summoned his dagger, cut through his wrist, and started pouring blood into the beaker.

Anon, on the other hand, started drawing the cloning magic circle around the dead body.

'Good thing I learned the cloning trick, or it would have been a mess here.' Anon thought.

"Let's see if I can re-create you, Mr. Elf." Anon said slowly as he completed the circle and stood up.

"Here, master." Mike said as he gave the blood-filled beaker back to Anon.

Anon took the beaker and took out a test tube filled with a yellowish liquid from his inventory.

After that, he mixed the liquid with Mike's blood, and the whole liquid turned yellowish-brown.

Putting his hand in one part of the circle, Anon started supplying mana to the circle.

The circle started glowing up.

After that, he poured the liquid above the dead body and waited.

After one minute... The body turned into a white streak of light, and Anon used his skill to give the body a shape...

<Materialization>Suddenly, the white streak of light started taking shape, and in just seconds, it looked exactly like Lucy's husband that she had just killed.

Lucy and Rel immediately got scared by this view.

"I-Impossible... This can't be happening... W-W-We have to run... He is back." Lucy started panicking as she hid Rel behind her.

"Calm down, it's just a clone of your husband," Mike said as he looked at both of them.

Anon touched the clone, and a message popped up in front of him.

[One new clone found. Would you like to link it with the control stone?]

"Yes."

[One new clone has been linked to the control stone. What would you like to name the clone?]

"Stupid Elf." Anon said as he looked at the clone's face.

"He will do anything I tell him to, and tomorrow when they come to search your house... You will tell them that this is your husband, okay?" Anon said as he looked at Lucy.

"Y-Yes." Lucy replied.

"Good, my work is finished here. I will go now." Anon said as he started to leave.

"M-Master... Can I talk to you in private?" Jessica asked as she looked at Anon in embarrassment.
