Chapter 395: The Monster Behind

A few minutes ago as Max was making his escape through the terrace….

"Are you sure? I still think you should escape….I will try to draw them away…." Lear said as he looked at the silver-haired dude.

"Believe me….even if the old geezer is not trustworthy….my eyes are…" the guy turned around to look at Lear and pointed his finger at his eyes which seemed to be glowing strangely.

Lear just decided to trust the guy.

"Let\'s take the back exit…." The guy spoke as he looked at Lear and moved towards the back exit.

As they got out of the place, Lear sighed and looked at the guy next to him who still seemed unperturbed.

They began to move and soon Lear could feel the people following them had finally decided to make a move.

"Zap!"

Lear stopped himself and leapt towards the side but when he saw that the silver haired guy was still standing there, his face turned dark.

But it was too late for Lear to help.

The ominous black tide like aura crashed at the spot where the guy was standing.

\'Is he alright?\' Lear looked at the place of the impact.

Soon, several figures shot from the darkness and surrounded them.

Lear suddenly felt something hit the back of his leg and he was forced onto his knees.

His first reaction was obviously enemy attack and when he turned around to counter, he froze.

The silver haired guy stood behind him, his hands were up in the air.

"We surrender…."

And that\'s how Lear came to his current situation. He was boiling in anger at this point of time for being tied around in some strange bondage position but in the future Lear would be grateful for having this encounter with the art of trying people. It would add a spark in his life…..but that will be a story for another time….

….

Ovens House, Capital.

James was chatting with Arnorld. There was a slight smile on his face. It seemed he was in a good mood today.

But at this moment, his servant entered the room with updates on things.

"Master, it seems the Young Lord\'s men have begun to move. It seems there has been a call for backup and the Lord has been summoned for an emergency meeting at the Association."

"Backup?" The smile on James\'s face diminished a bit, but he let the man continue.

"It seems someone other than Lady Aria has been in avenue as well and were bidding for the items…..its not confirmed but I assume it has something to do with these people\'s appearance…"

"Are you sure it\'s fine?" Arnold asked as he looked at James.

"It\'s fine...I just needed someone to mess with the auction….with the signs of my brother\'s incompetence, my plan is already half a success....his seat among the 12 Stars of Demon realm will shake…so will his chance of successorship…."

"Now I only need my soon-to-be sister-in-law to die at my brother\'s hand to put it all together…."

"And here I thought you had a crush on her….so they weren\'t love letters that you sent her?" Arnold said with a laugh. This guy had changed a lot from the time he met James. The hesitant guy had disappeared. If Lear came face to face with him now, he probably wouldn\'t be able to recognise him...

"Well, she is not bad. But too smart for her own good. I don\'t need someone like her. But I can\'t let my brother have her too….once the news of their prospective marriage comes out, my brother will gain too much power….enough to wipe my influence over the family…" James calmly said as he looked at Arnold. He was sharing it with him because he needed him to control the Barnes family as well…

"He will not keep quiet after returning…." Arnold said as he looked at him. He knew that after Werner had returned to the capital, several dozens of James men had disappeared in thin air….

Even some of the ones who had been in different cities and different Noble Houses acting as spies…..

Werner wasn\'t someone without ability. He was scary…..Arnold knew that the guy would realise that it was them in no time.

"Don\'t worry, I doubt he would have time to deal with us after this….besides, I still have an icing on the cake….if it works, there is nothing to worry about…I just hope the playboy master of Achilles doesn\'t disappoint me…." James had a meaningful smile on his face.

Arnold felt a chill running down his spine as he saw the smile on James\'s face. He knew very well that even though he was sitting right beside him and looked like a good friend, the truth was way different than that….

This guy was a monster, he had seen it with his own two eyes…it was something he could never forget….

"How\'s the plan coming up?" Suddenly James asked as he looked towards Arnold whose face seemed to be twitching.

"I-It\'s going well. I will make the entire Barnes family cry blood.…" Arnold said as pulled himself together and an evil smile leaked out of his face. His eyes had a crazed look in them.

"A woman will really have that much impact?" James asked, a bit amused.

"Hahaha...the Lord loves his lady like there is no tomorrow. She is the support pillar of his family. Once she is dead, everything will come crumbling down." Arnold said with a smile. He wasn\'t even referring to them as his family.

….

Max stood as he quietly gazed at the man standing in front of him. There were more than a dozen men surrounding him yet he still seemed unperturbed.

"Aren\'t you afraid? Death is right in front of you?"

Max looked at the guy who said those words, he seemed to be leading the group and had covered his face. The mask seemed to have some kind of formations to hide the wearer\'s face even if someone probed...but in front of Max that was basically useless…..

When he saw the person\'s face, dots began to emerge but Max didn\'t have time to connect them....

"I am finally sure…." Max said as he looked at him. "That guy will definitely show up if I kill you.."

Werner looked at Max with a chill in his eyes. He didn\'t seem to like the look Max\'s attitude and the look in his eyes. He had initially planned to capture him but he changed his mind….there were two more guys...he could just get information out of them. He didn\'t need this one..

Even though Werner kept staring at Max, he didn\'t recognise him at all. The light was dim and half of his face was a bloody mess while the other half was covered in blood as well because of his exaggerated movements during the fight earlier…..

The wound was actually quite deep, his facial bones were showing up. One more blow to the right and he might have turned into a Lich face.

"Kill him…." Werner said with a light tone.
