Chapter 336 - 289 : Trapped Pigolo (1/2)

A few days passed since Sloth paid a visit to the couple. Unfortunately, the undead army managed to successfully raid the Southern fortress in Africa and once and for all dominated the whole continent.

The IHO said several groups composed of high-leveled heroes but to no avail, the force of the undead was just too strong and these efforts turned out to be fruitless as more than fifty heroes perished miserably.

Claudia became even more restless as the search bore no fruits so she tried contacting Josef but was flatly ignored. Her temper worsened and her anxiousness deepened as her son was missing for more than a week.

The disappearance of the human AI startled Arthur so, with the help of Lucy, he tried locating her but the little girl seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

She didn't leave a note and no one noticed her until it was too late. Arthur knew that this had to do with the small capsule she was inspecting but was still helpless to do anything as he couldn't inspect it for he hasn't enough knowledge about the System to figure out the secret behind Hell Gate in general.

He still had Josef's chip, which on the outside, looked like any other ordinary chip except for the foreign language written on it. Moreover, the matter with his 'illness' was still unsolved. He couldn't enter his consciousness but nonetheless, was still feeling perfectly normal. In fact, he is in his peak state all day long and apart from spending a few hours at night to cultivate, he would relax and enjoy his time with Lucy and co for most of the time.

***************

In an isolated room situated at a deserted island on the Pacific Ocean, there stood four figures, three of them were wearing dark cloaks that covered their faces and most of their body. As for the last one, it was a gorgeous woman wearing expensive clothes.

She stared coldly at a tall and large silhouette that was chained at a corner of the room.

”So this is the one?”

The three women stood respectfully before the woman. The one at the center bowed then replied

”Yes m'am.”

She walked up to the tall undead knight and kicked it hard while loudly cursing it. Though no matter how much she provoked it or cursed at it, she simply wasn't satisfied.

”Are you absolutely sure this is the one that attacked the village?”

Claudia was skeptical about this whole matter. She didn't feel the same dread she experienced when this 'knight' attacked her and even severed her arm. The one that attacked her spoke and was awfully powerful yet this one seemed weak and was a complete mute.

The whole matter was odd and the rage within her wasn't the least bit quelled. However, no matter how unsatisfied she was, she didn't dare blame these three women.

They were part of the only assassin organization on Earth and each and every one of them was not only efficient at tracking, they even never failed a mission.

She used an astronomical amount of resources to be able to recruit them for this mission and they even managed to complete this in merely two days, including the time they spent traveling.

Although she felt helpless, Claudia continued beating the motionless undead for an extra half an hour before storming out of the room angrily.

The three women disposed of the undead which was already on the verge of death then swiftly left the whole island.
