Chapter 176 - 176: The Crownless Demon King—Proud Wolf (1/2)

A Reaper walked towards them. He wore a mask that covered only the lower half of his face, showing his eyes and thick eyebrows.

On the upper right corner of his chest was a badge of a skull with two scythes crossed behind it—similar to a pirate's insignia.

The Reapers' uniforms portrayed their ranks. For Rank D, their uniform is white, Rank C is blue, Rank B is gold, Rank A is black, and Rank S is maroon.

And this Reaper wore white.

But do not be fooled. No matter what a Reaper's rank was, you cannot underestimate them.

They are highly trained assassins. The blood of many people had already stained their hands at a tender age.

The Reapers' Association usually recruit their reapers when they reached the age of 13. Their ranks would then be determined by their skills and on how many missions they took.

Another interesting fact about being a Reaper is that their emotions are completely wiped off.

Especially love and fear.

Their sole purpose is to serve the Association and maintain balance within the Underworld.

”Good evening. Do these gentlemen have a table already?” He politely asked.

Lillie pulled out something from her breast pocket and gave it to the man. ”We have a loge reserved.”

When the Reaper read the name on the card, he was perplexed and his hands trembled slightly. Though it's true that Reapers' were emotionless, but if faced with someone like this man, your composure cannot help but waver.

Lang Ao Xian, it said in a bold font. The Reaper knew it was legitimate because who would be so stupid as to imitate Proud Wolf in front of a Reaper?

A Reaper, no matter the rank, should familiarize themselves with the Underworld's greatest Demons and how to identify the real from fakes.

His survival instinct had gone haywire now knowing who was this distinguished guest before him.

Besides, he's just a Rank D. He wasn't skilled compared to those of higher ranks, and some of his emotions were still intact. Rank A and S were the ones who no longer feel any ounce of emotions.

When he received Vermillion Dragon, he was polite yet indifferent. He didn't feel intimidated by him even when he's surrounded by his subordinates.

However, Proud Wolf was a different story.

The saying ”people fear the unknown” suited his situation.
