Chapter 65: The entire upper society is awed! (2/2)
”I regret not believing in him and trying to ruin his reputation!”
Elliot's eyes squinted in joy, happy to be the center of attraction.

”Interesting,” said a man in black with a pair of inky, black eyes while looking at Elliot from a distance, sipping wine.
”Knife, order the low ranking serpent devils to gather here,” the man said under his breath, smiling widely, intent on kidnapping Elliot.
”As you command, master.” Knife said, going away from his master and out of the artifact gallery.

The man's evil stare didn't go unnoticed by Elliot, and as he peeked a glance at him, he realized that this man was one of the most infamous sinners on the two planets.
[Name: Curtis
Evolutionary stage: Channel Opening stage
Level: 5
Alignment: Pure evil
Emotion: He is eyeing you, expressing a large amount of ill intent.]
The information popping up in his mind also told him that Curtis has killed around a hundred civilians and looted the honor of dozens of corpses.
He was a sick bastard.
”If he comes after me tonight then I will make sure that he doesn't get to live to see the morning sun,” Elliot said wordlessly, praying to be targeted by him so that he would kill him with his own hands.
”When are we going to go back?” Lisa asked, hugging Elliot's elbow.
”Right now,” Elliot replied.
”But Honorable appraiser--”
”Enough!” Elliot said, stopping the members of the upper society from coming up to him. ”I'm tired and it's time for me to rest. Do not feel sad, however, for I shall return here once again the day after tomorrow.”
Immediately after he finished speaking those words, he went out of the artifact gallery with Lisa, leaving the rest of them to eat his dust and wait for his return in excitement and anticipation.
”Shouldn't I be rewarded?” Lisa asked in the middle of the streets, asking for a reward for helping him earn around 2 million magic coins, a passive income of 100 thousand magic coins, and a beautiful wife on top of that.
Elliot beamed a smile toward her.
”Oh, what do you want?”
”All I want is you.” Lisa kneeled to him, showing him a ring box. ”Let's get married!”
Elliot stopped in his tracks and lowered his head to look at her in the eyes, only to see Lisa looking into his eyes with gentleness and love, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and pat her in the head.
Lisa's eyes squinted in happiness as she felt him gently caressing her head and ruffling her hair, and she couldn't help but ask, ”Should I take this as a sign of you accepting me?”
”No can do. I will think about marrying you after graduating from the academy.” Elliot said in a calm voice, shooting her down, killing the mood, hence earning the title of mood killer.
”You will only think about it, and that too after two whole years?!” Lisa's eyes widened in shock.
