Chapter 244 - Crazy Angry (2/2)

”No. I did not,” Laz responded. He already understood where she was going with her reasoning, but that didn't make him feel any better.

Truthfully speaking, even though his room mates were targeted, Laz shouldn't have felt so involved in this. It wasn't like he was put into any danger himself. Instead, Laz's problem was that he was channeling his anger over when his grandfather was taken to this moment. Although the circ.u.mstances differed, Laz was projecting that moment on to this one, making it so that he couldn't walk away from this.

”And because of that, if we do something, we alert others. Being the strongest means that there are a lot more eyes on you young master. Whether that be the eyes of the Vodun or of the Church, as soon as we send people out, they will know we are watching. And that would ruin your plans I think.”

”AAGhhhh,” Laz let out a small shout of anger and frustration, knowing that she was right. Even though it seemed easy enough to ask her to help, she had her own worries too. Laz understood that he would have to make other plans.

”Alright. You're right of course Freya. Anyway. Allow me to thank you for the use if Ivy the other day. She was exactly what I needed.” Although they were speaking close together, Laz didn't know who the other person was. Freya might be ok with speaking of her secrets, but Laz didn't want to say out loud that he borrowed someone to torture for him or that he killed the targets when he was done.

Some things you just don't talk about.

Despite that, it seemed that what Laz said affected the mysterious guest.

”Oh? So you've come to the point where you just randomly use girls when the need suits you, hmm?” The somewhat angry yet sweet sounding voice said.

”I don't think you understand what I'm talking.... Malene?” Laz approached the hidden guest and saw that it was Malene, sitting there and eating while hiding away.

”I don't understand. Ok. I guess using a young girl means something different for you? Some noble purpose?”

”Malene. Let me explain, please?” Laz felt his face going both red and black. He knew how it sounded, but he just made it sound that way since he didn't know who was listening it. Had he known, he would have been much clearer.

In contrast to Laz's response of trying to reason with her, Freya was signaling for everyone to move a bit farther away. She knew the reputation of the Spirit Girl better than almost anyone and she knew that the girl could be down right crazy when she was being unreasonable.

Freya wanted to say something to Laz, but it was clear from that fact that he was approaching her that he didn't understand who or what she was. As such, Freya could only try her best to stop Malene.

”Lady Malene. Please, calm yourself. It's not what you think...” Freya also knew that Malene had the worst view out of all of the VIP members of Blood Moon, although she didn't know why. She already had enough of a headache trying to entertain her while she was visiting. But now, on top of that, she was going completely mental.

Wind whipped around the air, causing the black silk to billow as though they were the sails of sh.i.p.s during a storm at sea. The other guests had long been dragged/ordered to the back of the huge room and were told they were watching a special set up for a new kind of show they were putting on, causing the guests to become excited.

No one really knew that Malene was this close to snapping as the raging waves of killing intent appeared around her. Although she was looking at Laz, her killing intent wasn't focused on him. Instead, it seemed to be spreading out as though looking for someone.

Just as things were getting more heated and Freya was about to explain again, on of the doors leading to the back slammed open and the four Ivy's walked out, faces covered in their cold masks. They had heard the disturbance and were coming to assist, not knowing that one of them was the cause of it.

”Found you.” Like a lion spotting it's prey, a long yet thin sword appeared in Malene's hand as she lunged forward, aiming for the second Ivy in the row.

'Why the f.u.c.k is she mad at her when I was... f.u.c.k it.' The thought came and went through Laz's head in but a moment as he jumped forward.

He could feel the strength of Malene's attack was immense. On top of everything else, the sword seemed to have lit up in flames, causing the beautiful arch to accompany her attack.

Seeing the target of the attacker was aiming for their sister, the other three quickly surrounded her as various knives and other small, concealed weapons appeared in their hands.

Just as Malene was about the strike at them, a hand shot forward covered in black flames, grabbing the sword. Despite the immense strength behind it, the sword was stopped from moving.

”CONTROL YOURSELF!” Laz's voice was like thunder that boomed within the large, hall like room. Malene, who had originally lost herself in her anger, suddenly stopped her attack, letting the flaming sword return to normal before taking it back.

She stumbled back a few steps while looking at Laz who was standing before her in anger. Just as she was about to say something, Laz strode forward and wrapped her in a hug while whispering to her,

”It's not what you think, ok? She just helped me extract some information from a person who refused to talk. There is no reason to be angry.” Laz's voice was exceptionally gentle as he whispered into her ear.

Seeing her calm down, the girls relaxed and put away their weapons while breathing a sigh of relief. They recognized Malene right away and knew that even in a four on one situation, they wouldn't have any hope of winning.

Seeing that Laz had resolved her anger for the time being, Freya also took a deep breath and said a few words to the guests, causing them to cheer.

As far as they were concerned, the show they just saw with the special effects were amazing, None of them had any clue that they almost witnessed a fight to the death.

”How about you two take a room and talk things out?” Freya suggested, nodding to one of her assistants.

Laz agreed and Malene just followed along, looking like an obedient young wife, much to the shock of the onlookers who actually understood who she was.

No one had any clue just what kind of relationship these two actually had.

Seeing them go into the back while following their guide, Freya couldn't help but think that Laz was way more mysterious that she had originally thought. When she had informed Blood Moon about him being here, they asked her to do everything she could to help the young man. But they never mentioned why.

Now it seemed like the why was much more important.
