Chapter 12Instead of being intimidated by Selina's threat, this person just casually crosses his arms on top of his stomach and smiles at her."La petite fille, you should have known better about him instead of me. Isn't that how it's supposed to be between family?" he teases.'I need to be careful; his carefree personality might be a bait to lower my guard. After all, he is one of the Black Circle's elders."How rude of you to go all quiet as someone who has initiated this conversation. Like I said, if you have nothing to discuss, let me excuse myself.""STAY WHERE YOU ARE OR I WILL BREAK YOUR LEGS!"Selina's shout succeeded in halting this person, who had already turned hi

Chapter 14 A happy mood is taking a rest in Selina's heart. Her face can't hide the grin she's been wearing since she left the restaurant. 'I never expected to hear that I resemble Mom a lot.' Suddenly, she stops walking and looks in the direction where Black Circle is located. "Six days is too long, I have to get everything done tomorrow so that I could make time to look for my mom's resting place." Selina changes her path and heads into the central area. She arrives at Axel's front door to advance the plan from the expected date. Knock - knock! "Axel, it's me, Selina." Knock - knock - knock! "Axel, open the door." Selina didn't get any response from Axel, and to make it more suspicious, the door was open. 'For safety reasons, I will put this embarrassing mask on.' "Axel, I'm going inside," Selina shouts while entering his house. Steps by steps, Selina takes after entering the ho

Chapter 16One of the elders of Black Circle is trembling, her face becoming pale because of one single person in front of her."Yes, I’m already dead, Raisen, but I'm coming back to get my revenge.""NONSENSE!! It must be a hallucination because I inhaled this smoke out of the pain I was feeling.""I’ll gladly inflict another wound to wake you from your hallucination."Gary Hayes, as he is known, approaches her in quick steps. As for Raisen, who was at the mercy of her own fear, she tried to fight back with the poisonous dagger she had."ARGH!!! MY ARM!" Raisen shouts in a loud voice due to the unimaginable pain she feels.He grabs her hand and breaks it using his knee to the point where Raisen’s arm had bent and could no longer be straight."Is this enough to wake you from the hallucination? I hope it wasn’t enough, because I’m not satisfied with just breaking one of your arms, Raisen.""H

Chapter 18Gary leads the way to a slum area in the central part of Norland City. Not even Shadow, who is known as a high-ranked assassin, or Joan, who is an elder of the Black Circle, is familiar with the area."Mon ami, where are you taking us? It’s embarrassing, but I have to admit I am not familiar with this environment. "Joan asks with curiosity in his eyes."This remote area is called The Border to the Afterlife. Because people who have lost their jobs or are in poverty gather in this place. They either die here and are tossed to the graveyard or crawl to get a second chance by any means."Using cautious words, Joan continues to give Gary another question, "Could this also be..."Gary gives him a nodding gesture and says, "Yes, my friend, I came from this place before I and Jason were scouted by Raisen."While reminiscing about Gary’s past, they arrive at the graveyard. There was a big tombstone with a white color

Chapter 20 "NONSENSE!!! I AM A LOYAL MAN AND ALL OF YOU HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THIS FACT." Joan explodes out of anger. Elder Lotus who was able to not get overwhelmed by Joan’s anger, speaks her opinion, "It's because you are known for being loyal, we dared to make this kind of bold statement. All of us are well aware of the disagreement you had with elder Raisen regarding how to handle a young man named Axel Brainer." "WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO? "JUST STAY STILL AND ALLOW A DESCENDANT OF THE FOUNDER TO BECOME RAISEN’S SERVANT?" The room was filled with chattering and muttering because of what Joan said. They find it difficult to believe Joan's testament regarding the plan Raisen had for Axel Brainer, yet judging how the French man is enraged cannot be taken lightly. Those who hold higher positions, such as elder Lotus and Owner in the Black Circle, are bound by unwritten rules. It stated that ‘the founder, along with their descendants, are exclu
