Chapter 311 - 264 : No Mercy (1/2)

”W-who the fuck are you?”

Sadik stared at Arthur with eyes full of hatred and confusion. No matter how much he wrecked his brains, he couldn't remember seeing such a unique-looking man.

Arthur leaned closer to the burly man until only a few centimeters were separating the two pair of eyes. However, such a movement only made Sadik more fearful, what increased the dread, even more, is the wails of his subordinates, who were slaughtered one-sidedly by an expressionless Lucy, who didn't bat an eye even with all the blood and dismembered bodies.

As he was stared at by the scarred man, whose pupil was strangely grey, Sadik couldn't hold his courageous attitude anymore, the thick killing intent emanating from Arthur isn't something he could handle.

”F-fuck! Who sent you?!”

Arthur let out a long sigh and backed down before retorting

”Seriously, talking to you is like playing piano to a cow.”

Arthur activated a low-level Illusion which altered his appearance. His scar disappeared and his hair became shorter and changed from grey to jet black. In just two seconds, he regained his appearance from his previous life, the same one he had when they kidnapped him.

Once Sadik witnessed this change, his pupils contracted as he stared at Arthur with disbelief, even after seeing him in person, he still couldn't believe that he's still alive.

Sadik took countless jobs in the past but the highest-paid one is, without a doubt, the kidnapping of Arthur Bilgart. Although it was a simple task, the sly wife paid his group a mind-numbing sum that allowed them to enjoy themselves for a long while.

Sadik personally disposed of Arthur's corpse after he was tortured to death, he literally used acidic chemicals to turn the body into nothingness. The corpse melted into a disgusting liquid which was scorched soon after using fire, there were no traces left, which is why he's in total incredulity.

”A heartless man you are, Sadik. How can you forget the face of one of your victims?”

Arthur smiled coldly as he watched his target look at him with a shocked expression.

”How c-can you be alive? Who are you!”

Sadik still couldn't believe that this is the real Arthur. After Earth changed due to the System, a lot of things became easier for humans to do, so disguising himself into a past victim of his is plausible, or so thought Sadik.

”Why are you asking something when you know the answer?”

Before letting the burly man talk, Arthur added:

”Now, let me ask you another question. Why do you think I'm here?”

As he said that, Arthur reverted to his original appearance and glared at Sadik with piercing eyes. The temperature of the room decreased by a dozen degrees and the light coming from the windows disappeared as total darkness covered the mansion, blocking any light or sound.

Inside this room, which was full of coziness a few minutes ago, you could only hear the fast-paced breathing of Sadik, who finally realized his fate and started begging

”P-please spare me! I'll give you anything you want!”

Arthur played with a conjured dark dagger and turned to Lucy, who was standing behind him silently.

”He said anything I want, what do you think I want, my dear Lucy?”
