Chapter 107: Messenger From Faust (2/2)

“I forgot, a messenger came to the town, saying that he was sent by the Faust family to send a letter to you from your father.”

Vela remembered her original objective for coming here after being prompted by Angora. It was honestly because she was shocked by Angora laughing to himself like an evil villain in his study.

“A letter from Father…?” Angora didn’t know what to do with this information.

“Do I need to drive him away?” Vela asked with a little hesitation.

“Why would I want to drive him away?” Angora was quite confused by her sudden suggestion.

“Because, uhm…I know it’s bad for me to say this, but you know the state of our town in the beginning…If it weren’t for the blessing of the God of Games, perhaps your life here would even be worse than those commoners in the capitals.”

The young lady picked her words carefully, not wanting to cause any negative emotions in Angora.

Angora immediately understood what Vela was trying to get at. Vela must have thought that he wasn’t favored back at the Faust family, so he was sent to this barren village. This was also why she didn’t have good feelings towards the messenger sent by his father.

In response to her worries, Angora only wanted to say.

Not only was he not favored, but he had almost been assassinated on his way here okay…

Of course, Angora knew that his father didn’t have anything to do with this assassination. If he wanted to kill him, he had many ways to do so easily, and he didn’t have to go through the trouble of getting him a noble rank.

At first, Angora thought that it was his second older brother that had joined the Society of the Secret Eye that wanted to kill him. The video that Edward sent him also seemed to confirm this as fact, but he felt as if something was off.

If his brother was so powerful as to be able to utilize resources from the Society of the Secret Eye to do such a thing, then why would he be killed by Black Whip so easily? In theory, Black Whip would have no reason to try and kill Angora after that, but judging from how he was planning to attack the town later on, something wasn’t right…

Because he had been quite free lately, Angora suddenly thought of the possibility that the one that wanted to kill him was another person, and that his second brother was subordinate to this mysterious person, then everything would be more rational.

Because his second brother was only a lackey, so he was quickly offed by Black Whip, but because Black Whip knew that the order to kill Angora came from the person his brother worked under, he still had to continue his mission to kill Angora after his second brother died…

“Wait, won’t you be exposed once this messenger gets back?!” Vela’s eyes glinted dangerously, reminding Angora that this young lady wasn’t as demure as she seemed. “Do I need to kill him?”

“No need, I’ll send a letter back to my father and expose the fact that I’m still alive to the perpetrator!” Angora smiled and comforted Vela. “After all, it’s too much trouble to deal with someone who is still in hiding, so why not I give them the chance to meddle, before catching them in the act and dealing with them?”

“But…” Vela wasn’t quite convinced, more worried about his safety than anything.

“Don’t worry, the enemy wanted to kill me, but even in the greatest attack by them it was only a covert operation by the Society of the Secret Eye, and since they’re restricted in such a way, they would definitely be no match for the players!” Angora seemed quite confident in his plans, and walked slowly to the window. Looking outside, he saw the players dancing Gokuraku Jodo on the bustling streets for whatever reason, and continued in an unsure tone.

“…Probably.”
