Beth's POV

“This is the place.”

Rey and Noah stood in front of a massive building—one of the biggest in the area.

Of course, it wasn’t more than three storeys, but it was very wide.

It was clear that a lot of activities went on in this building, and it wasn’t for the faint of heart.

“You actually did business here?!”

Rey was shocked that someone as timid as Noah had the gall to trade in such an intimidating structure.

“W-well, I was approached by an affiliate who brought me here.”

“A-ahh… that’s true.”

According to Noah’s story, he was initially just looking for a place to sell the Monster Cores when he was approached by a guy who told him he’d help him sell the goods.

This man then escorted Noah to the imposing building and guided him through the necessary procedures.

‘That guy must be the one behind the scam’ Rey figured, connecting the dots.

The company must have dealt directly with the so-called Affiliate, who in turn dealt with Noah.

He probably pretended to be the seller and g

    “Haha! Is it all done?” A hefty man, his belly protruding, emerged from the 'staff-only' room.He had blood stains on his hand, and each finger had rings on them. His fat-ridden body moved slowly as he cleaned his bloodied hands with a rag and flung it to the side once he was done.“Oh, Leader? Did you kill that woman already?” One of the men who had secured both Alicia and Billy said with a somewhat disappointed face.“What do you think?” The fat man replied, a twisted grin on his faceThough he had cleaned his hands, stains of red still appeared in some areas.“I-I see… I shouldn’t have asked in the first place."In all honesty, this man—as well as the rest of his six comrades—wanted to have his way with her.He had been looking forward to enjoying the waitress for some time now.‘When we killed her Boss and took over this shop, I expected my time to come soon…’He felt frustrated that his Leader had done away with her already.“She intentionally tripped, that woman. I was watching

    After the events of that fateful night—the night that he witnessed Alicia’s betrayal—Billy only had one thought.… To make Alicia his no matter what.He abandoned his principles and any last shreds of dignity.The self-control that held him back snapped, and now that he was unhinged, he could finally see the light.Billy knew what had to be done.He reached out to Evals Redart, and they both struck a deal.He would lure Alicia to the agreed-upon location, and that was where the deed would take place.The only reason he was successful was due to the effects of the ring he had on his right finger—The Ring of Deceit.All he had to do was touch Alicia with it once, and he would be able to transform into whoever she trusted most.Earlier that day, he took the first step of his plan and brushed past her, using the ring to touch her skin.She noticed it instantly and shot him a disgusted look, but Billy knew it was only because she was confused.She misunderstood his intentions.‘This is all

    “Haaa… haaa…”A young, dark-haired man stood at the center of what appeared to be a corpse party.His face was hidden behind a dark mask, but his eyes glowed bright red, peering out from beneath the hair that covered his face.In this hellish world, one filled with unbearable heat, steam, and flaming geysers, the young man let out a musty sigh and chuckled.“Hehehe… hahaha… hahahahahaha!!!”Gleaning Monster Cores appeared around him, as well as the destroyed bodies of what appeared to be crimson-looking monkeys—a striking variant of the Monkey Monsters and BigFoot Monsters The creatures had dark, crimson bodies covered in dirt. Now, their bodies were a chaotic mess, with their insides strewn about and cooked by the blistering heat of the area.“Looks like I made it in time!” The boy chuckled, a smirk playing on his lips as he spotted a crawling figure ahead.It was the Boss Monster—a colossal Crimson Bigfoot—struggling to crawl away on just one remaining limb after losing three to th

    ‘S-something came up…?!’As Rey stared into Adonis’ eyes, he could tell that something was terribly wrong.An expression of concern swept through his face and it felt like anxiety was welling up within him.Before Rey realized it, his heart began to race.“Am I in trouble again?” He asked, a bead of sweat forming on the side of his face.“A-ah! No! No! This is something else. You’ll understand once you come with me. Everyone is waiting…”Adonis had never lied to Rey before—at least not to his knowledge. There was no reason to think he was doing so now, but Rey knew he couldn’t be too sure.After a few seconds of internal debate, Rey decided that his best option was to go with Adonis and see what was going on.‘I’ve not done anything wrong or suspicious lately, right? Or could it be another scheme by the mastermind of last time…?’Rey shrugged off his problematic thoughts and left his position, carrying the book he was reading in his hand without realizing it.“Don’t you need to return

  • Caught in the Mafia net    Chapter 67

    Rey and Adonis didn’t speak another word to each other until they got to the Living Quarters.As they pushed open the door, they found everyone already gathered in the living room, just as Adonis had said.However, it wasn’t just the students there; Conrad and all four members of the Royal Council were also present, along with Lucielle.‘What’s with their faces? They don’t look so good…’ However, that wasn’t the only thing that caught his attention as he entered.He looked hard at the crowd of students before him, counting only twenty-four instead of twenty-six, excluding himself and Adonis.He didn’t see Billy in the crowd, which surprised him since Billy was always a stickler for the rules.However, much more concerning for Rey was the other person who also seemed to be absent.‘Alicia isn’t here…?!’The fact that he hadn’t seen her in the Library as well meant one thing—something had happened to her.‘What’s going on? Is she alright?’As he looked at the downcast expressions of th

  • Caught in the Mafia net    Chapter 66

    After a few moments of quiet, Adonis turned to Grandmaster Conrad and gave a nod. It was time for the second grave announcement to be made.“The Head Warrior Brutus has yet to return from his expedition.”This announcement didn’t seem like much to the students, and to be honest, it wasn’t supposed to be.“We gave him and his men three days to complete their investigation, and it’s only been two days. Normally, there would be no cause for concern, but a recent development has occurred.”The expressions of the students shifted slowly, now showing worry. From Conrad’s tone alone, they could sense the seriousness of the situation.“His Royal Badge has been destroyed, but more than that… his Life Force is barely detectable.”Lucielle slowly nodded as Conrad spoke, her once-clear skin now showing wrinkles of worry from creased brows.As the Grand Mage of the Alliance, Lucielle had a lot of Spells at her disposal.One was a Spell to detect a person’s life force.Of course, there were condit
