Chapter 79: Elder Beor (1/2)

Everyone turned their gazes towards Barret, including Khrom. They could not believe that there was another culprit behind all this. Barret looked at everyone's faces and hesitated for a moment, but then sighed and replied. ”He is Elder Beor from the Glont City.”

”Elder Beor!” Hot Rod, who was standing at the side with a dumbstruck expression all this time due to the strange situation in front of him, shouted in shock and bewilderment.

Kadyn turned towards him and asked. ”You are also from Glont City. Do you know something about him?”

Hot Rod looked at Kadyn and nodded with fear. ”Yes, I know a bit about.” He took a mouthful breath and went on. ”Our Glont City has a guardian—just like other top cities—and that is Elder Beor. However, it would have been better if we had no guardian.” He sighed at the end of his statement.

”What do you mean?” Kadyn frowned.

However, before Hot Rod could reply, Elder Jyn interrupted. ”That bastard Beor is full of lust. He had done so many atrocities that it is impossible to count.” He gritted his teeth in rage and disgust.

”He has made several unmarried girls pregnant in Glont City.” Hot Rod sighed. ”Furthermore, no one could speak anything against him, or he would execute them. He is too powerful after all. Not even those nobles dare to voice objection much less commoners.”

”Though he is a piece of shit. He is indeed strong as he is at the peak of the Rank 2 Magus, and after a few years he might reach Rank 3.” Elder Jyn said. ”That's why the Association didn't take any action against him. After all, he is a great asset to them.”

”Am I supposed to feel gratified?” Kadyn sneered. Elder Jyn didn't speak afterwards, spotting Kadyn's irritated expression. Then Kadyn turned towards Barret who had yet to finish speaking. Feeling his gaze over himself, Barret continued. ”At that time Elder Beor was going somewhere and stayed inside the Mayor's mansion. I suppose Mayor invited him to his birthday party at that time where he spotted Khrom's wife.”

”Impossible! It was this bastard Gul who dragged her away in front of my eyes. If Beor was there I would have known about him.” Khrom shouted. He could not believe what he heard. He had just captured the culprit behind all the terrible things that happened in his life. But now he heard that he wasn't the real villain, but there was another hidden boss.

”You dare to touch me, Barret?'' At this moment the Mayor struggled on the ground and stood up with his shaky legs, before stating. ”Elder Beor would slaughter you all if you do anything to me”

”Why would he do anything to us for a piece of shit like you? Are you his illegitimate child or something?”

”You bet I am.”
