CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONEThe lady tried to hide her displeasure, but that seemed to be the hardest thing for her to do, especially with the presence of Mira who was known by almost everyone in the city as the damsel who had once dated the richest bachelor in Hillcrest.“I was already getting in the mood, Silas. Why did you pull out?” She grumbled, turning to Mira and giving her a spiteful look.Silas scoffed, staring at the lady with his eyes burning with annoyance.“How dare you speak to me in that manner?!” He grabbed her by the neck, and after pressing very hard for a while, he pushed her further away, causing her to stagger and almost fall.He turned to the other lady, dismissing her angrily. “Leave!” He yelled, and she scrambled away, almost throwing away what she was holding.Silas growled inwardly, and then he turned to Mira while a smile instantly took over.“Mira, my love!” He laughed as though it was the first time he was seeing her, and as he made his way down the steps, the men

What a tragedy?” He turned to the guard standing by his right and gestured to him.“Yes, boss!” The guard stepped forward, and leaned closer to Silas.“Let me see your wedding ring, Isaac.”“Yes, Boss!” The guard instantly showed Silas his left hand, and he grabbed it at once, looking at the ring on his finger.“Can you see that?!” Silas pointed to the ring, especially the stone on it.“I pay all my workers enough that they can afford to buy very expensive rings for their weddings. I am sure Isaac here got a diamond ring for his wife.”“Yes, Boss.” Isaac nodded with a smile.“All thanks to you, boss. I was able to give my wi

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE“Did you just tell me to shut up?” Silas asked just to be certain, looking at the money he had given to Dante and trying to be sure that they were the exact amount he thought of.His two guards were already waiting for the moment when he was going to give them the order to deal with Dante , seeing his utterance as totally unacceptable.Mira was eager to understand what was going on, but the only thing she could do was stare at Dante while she tried to find her words.“What is happening, Dante ? What are you doing?” She finally spoke, but her voice was barely above a whisper, her eyes demanding an immediate explanation.Dante took a deep breath, and then he looked her in the eyes, pushing two steps forward.“I am doing right by you, Mira. Do you trust me?” He asked what suddenly became the hardest question to Mira.If he had asked her that question about an hour earlier, then maybe she could have said yes without thinking twice about it.But at that moment, and a

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVENSlowly, Mira turned to Dante and gestured to him, and then she looked down at Silas, heaving a heavy sigh that let delight crawl into her body.Finally, she was able to smile ever genuinely since she walked into the premises, her beam radiating all over her face.Dante moved closer to Silas, and without warning, he kicked him very hard on his leg, causing him to gasp, jerking with wide eyes.“That’s enough! Let go of her!” Dante growled, and Silas did as he was told at once, crawling away from Mira.He sat on the ground, panting for air while he avoided Mira like the plague.He didn’t bother to say a word as all that mattered was getting a grip on himself.“You are lucky that Mira decided to show you mercy.” Dante broke the silence, scowling at Silas.“I bet you will know never to cross her paths again.”“I will never!” Silas swore, nodding distraughtly.“I know.” Dante remarked, and then he nodded.“I don’t need to remind you of what fate will befall you if

“Do you still not want to take the opportunity?”The moment he heard this, chills ran down his entire body.That smile reaching up to his ears looked so full of malice.‘…….I took this guy too lightly.’He had thought of him as a novice with outstanding talent but still had much to learn.But now that he looked at him, that wasn’t the case.This guy was no different from a beast that would tear into you the moment you showed the slightest weakness.Jo Ui-gong’s eyes darted back and forth.-Kkkkkk!The three Willow Spirit Generals still bound by the iron chains and unable to break free.In Seo-ok, his master and the Pavilion Master of Primal Killing, who had become a Living Corpse Ghost through the Six-Person Spirit Summoning Technique and lost his own will.The strength gradually drained from Diviner Jo Ui-gong’s clenched fists.He did have a hidden trump card.But strangely, he felt it wouldn’t work on that guy.‘I had a disturbing dream.’Something like today’s events must have been
