Chapter 71 Price To Pay



Finally, he heard it, the desperate call for him to stop. The pathetic plea of a man who was used to being on the top and didn\'t suffer any setbacks because of his status and power. He was begging for his life and yet still had the audacity to bargain.

"Please…s-stop, I\'m be-begging you. I-I will forget that this incident happened and I won\'t bother you any longer, j-just please stop." The old man pleaded while catching his breath. He couldn\'t do it anymore. He kept on shivering and when he met Cygnus\'s eyes another scream tore through his mouth. "He\'s the devil! Stay-stay away from me! No! No! Don\'t come any closer!"

These words were repeated over and over again by the man. His eyes became unstable and his mouth was dripping with saliva while he kept on mumbling incoherent things. The bargain he was hoping for was mercilessly dismissed.

"Oh dear, he must have gone crazy. Ah, how fragile." Cygnus stood up and walked up towards the mumbling old man. He slowly leaned down and whispered something to his ear which set off the old man again.

This time all the bindings restraining him were gone. He fell to the thick wooden floor as he scrambled away from Cygnus. He went straight to the closed door and pounded on it while screaming that they let him out but no matter how he slammed his palm on the door nobody heard him.

No matter what noise he made, the people outside remained oblivious to what was happening inside. They heard nothing and felt nothing because outside of that room, everything was normal.

Revus turned around and saw that Cygnus was smiling at him. His body trembled uncontrollably and he ran to the corner of the room as he curled up in there while covering his ears as the whispers of the man continued to ring in his ear.

"So major, are you going to arrest me now?" Cygnus now focused on the man who could already move but remained seated.

"You won\'t be able to get away with this," the major gave the man a glare. He was at a disadvantage so he couldn\'t anger the man any further.

Cygnus laughed, "Here\'s a secret major, I can always run away. I can even run away from killing Ignus or from destroying this whole town."

The major tensed at the man\'s words but he made no move to apprehend or confront him. "I thought you hated being accused of something you didn\'t do, so why are you bringing that up now?"

"That\'s because it is true," Cygnus smirked. "I killed him using these things," he stretched both of his hands to the side and a horde of faceless shadows emerged from the darkness then there was the ghost with an ax and with a snap they all disappeared.

"Then Sir Revus was correct and yet you still tortured him because he pinned the blame on you. Aren\'t you the one accusing people now?" Ginehart looked at the man as he slowly calmed down and looked at the situation as an opportunity since the old man was now out of the picture.

Now that Cygnus showed his true colors, he did not need to pretend any longer that he was a good man since the other party was much worse than him. He could kill a person in cold blood and he was sure that Sir Rigel can do it to him anytime and anywhere.

Cygnus watched intently as the man\'s thoughts changed at a human speed, "Yes, you do have a point but I won\'t be blamed for killing those innocent civilians as you have called them. That matter is entirely a different story."

Ginehart looked at Cygnus with a frown and confused look, "What are you talking about? How can those matters be different?"

Cygnus laughed as he walked back to his seat, "Those magic circles aren\'t done by me because if I were to do that, I wouldn\'t leave any traces behind. It was the work of an amateur pretending to be someone who was thoroughly knowledgeable about what he was doing. I bet he is enjoying himself right now."

Mr. C, who had been standing stiffly behind him, walked to the table to pour out some tea but to his disappointment, the pot of tea was already cold. Cygnus sighed, he sent a wave of mana towards the pot and heated it through magic.

Ginehart gritted his teeth at the man\'s action and thought of how he could drink tea at this time and that kind of place. The whole room smelled of the stench of blood and just in front of him were the traces of Revus\'s torture.

"If what you are saying is true, then do you know who was behind all that crazy stuff?" Ginehart managed to ask despite the nauseating smell in the room.

Cygnus stopped midway from picking out a dessert on the table when he heard the major\'s question. He sighed and leaned on the chair as he looked at the man, "Major, if I told you I didn\'t do it then I didn\'t do it. Do you want to experience what that old man experienced before you believe what I say? And no, I don\'t know who the person behind that mess is."

He couldn\'t refute the man. He was already losing his energy by just talking to the person and he did not have a spare to continue arguing with him. There was no reason why he should believe or not believe the other person\'s words. In the end, he still reluctantly nodded as he did not want to become like the old man.

"Well then, now that we are clear on that matter, what would you do next?" Cygnus asked behind the cup of tea he was holding up. "You should be careful of your next steps after this delightful conversation that we had."

It was a warning. Three pairs of eyes were trained at him, waiting for his answer and if he answered wrongly, something bad would happen to him. He slightly glanced to the side to at least get the grand mage\'s attention but to his dismay, the other was not paying attention to them, rather he was pretending that they didn\'t exist.

"I will continue the investigation and speak nothing of what has happened here. I will also take care of Sir Revus on your behalf." Ginehart had no other choice but to do what the other wanted. He couldn\'t risk his life nor the rest of the town triggering the anger of the man.

"I don\'t really need your help with regards to those matters but I\'ll still accept it and watch how you do it. It\'s a bit exhausting if I do it by myself so I\'ll let you do the work," Cygnus agreed. It was the easiest path and he could relax while waiting for those people to appear.

Now that the matter was settled, it\'s convenient for him for the time being to watch and wait. He gestured for Mr. C to prepare another cup of tea and give it to the major who looked too tense. Ginehart was reluctant to accept it but the man was watching him so under his gaze, he drank the tea.
