Chapter 247: Squashing Under The Foot (1/2)

The whole cave was thoroughly destroyed, except for the part where the carriages were. There were no corpses left behind, only some grotesque poodles of blood.

At that moment, the entire place stopped trembling and the environment became silent once again.

Theodor finally left from inside the crack on the wall that he was hiding in and came running towards Seth's carriage. There was an expression of desperation on his face, as if he was waging everything he had, on that opportunity. The worm could come back anytime and now was the right time to escape.

”Oh my god! Mr. Seth, we have to immediately leave this place!”

Seth's specter of darkness was kind of crouching down, hiding in a corner of the carriage.

When he heard Theodor's voice the specter stood up and jumped from the carriage, as if he was following Theodor's idea. He had a fearful expression on his face, and on a life and death situation like this, he seemed to have even forgotten about his Young Lady that was still inside the carriage.

A crafty light passed through Theodor's eyes. He had to find a way to separate Seth and Lady Lan, else his final plan would be a bit harder to execute. If this ended up failing, he could still count with his ally, that was a Mana Perception cultivator. However, since Seth fell for his trick, everything would be easier now.

”Look! There is a whole on the cave wall and we might find a way out from there!”

Theodor pointed towards a hole that seemed to be illuminated by the sun light, and turned his back towards Seth's specter. He was about to run ahead, making Seth feel confident to run after him, but suddenly, he felt a hand grabbing him by the nape of his neck from behind.

That grip was so strong, that he couldn't even turn around to look at the man that was holding him. His body immediately reacted by releasing his Qi in an attempt to escape, but in less than a single second, his Qi was thoroughly suppressed inside his energy veins, making him powerless to do anything.

Seth's specter lifted that man up in the air and nothing Theodor did, not even the dozens of times he tried to flail his limbs backward and hit Seth's arm, were able to do anything. His heartbeat started to accelerate and he was getting anxious, fearing Seth could have seen through his plan and was now retaliating.

”Release me! What are you doing?! Put me down!”

As his shaky voice started to ask for Seth to release him, little by little, he noticed Seth had absolute control over him and even his energy was totally sealed. From anxiousness, he started to feel despair.

”Heh... Do you think I wouldn't have noticed what you and your hidden friend were trying to do? Even going as far as silencing everyone here...”

The real Seth suddenly opened the door of the carriage he was in, leaving from inside.

As he descended from his carriage, Theodor got speechless by the fact there were two copies of the same person there. One holding him from behind by the nape of his neck and the other suddenly sprouting in front of him like a ghost.

Theodor felt even more anxious after realizing Seth was not a normal individual and his brain started to think on a way out of that predicament.

”Release me... Do you want some gold? I can pay you a hundred thousand gold coins! Just let me go.” His wicked nature was only able to think Seth was trying to rob him, since he was a rich merchant.

Seth looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.

”Tch. I can let you go if you truthfully answer me one thing.”

”...”

”Why are you bringing normal people to a place like this? Why are they all lying down unconscious inside those carriages? What do you plan to do with them?”

Theodor's eyes bulged after realizing Seth really knew something he shouldn't. He didn't even think about answering that question, since he couldn't talk anything about that. If he were to say anything, his whole family would be fragged to hell alongside him. Immediately, he did the only thing left for him to do. He started to shout for the hidden person, asking for his help.

”Help! Help me! Hazid! Help!!!”
