Chapter 139 - 139: Stranger

"We're done here, Mister Reed The only reason you're still alive right now…

is because you're under Miss Boss"

"W… wait!"

"Van!"

Reed was about to rush towards Van's unattended back, but before he could do so, Nisha eed from the fires

And then, another Prisoner started to appear, and another The quiet lake also started to ripple before twirling into the air like a snake, slithering through the skies A torrent of rain then sloashed away the fires that were threatening to s the forest as the water snake danced and wriggled in the air

"Reed, what did you do?"

There was a lot of noise traveling and echoing throughout the forest The hurried footsteps of the Prisoners that were putting out the fire, the droplets of water violently hitting the ashi+ng leaves, the short screaistered inside Reed's mind-- Boss' voice

Reed slowly looked towards the woer held any love for him Or maybe she never did

He was sent to the Pit about 6 years ago, and except for his hair being even longer now, not ed in his appearance He killed the boyfriend, as well as the boyfriend's fa

He then abducted the wos that were still in the Deadzone But alas, he got caught when the woo to a nearby Explorer association tower

Due to his pretty face that was even more beautiful than even some of the women in the Pit, so to hiroup tried to juers that were finely hidden inside his hair

And that's when he first saw Boss Her dark skin alhtness of the day that once held him captive It made him feel a sense of comfort that he had never felt before in his life, he felt like he belonged

He had never once thought of the outside world since then, in his mind, there was only Latanya But now

"Miss Latanya!" Van quickly rushed towards Boss, carrying the weakened Gil and gently placing him in front of her

"" Reed could only stutter and slowly step back as he saw the sudden shi+ft of eiving him quickly dissipated, replaced by concern as she turned her head towards Van

The look of care that she once held for him… was noned by another person

He was now a stranger

"I… do you really not care for me anymore!?" He shouted

But his words reached no one

"There's fire inside the Wall!"

Eugene and the other people in the Village all stepped outside their house as they saw the veil of fire covering their skies

The ones on top of the Wall thought that the Prisoners were only having a bonfire, as they have done that quite a number of times before But as soon as the fire started to spread and caused the skies thee

"Chief, what do you think is happening there?"

"Nothing but trouble"

The Chief said as he squinted his eyes towards the dark sky Surprisingly, he was still the Chief of the Wall Village They thought that another officer fro to visit them soon because of the disappearance of one of them, but not even once did they come

Was the officer, whose na the City? If so, then the Chief truly did es They would probably win in a war against the barbarians inside the Wall as they outnumber them completely But at what cost?

Would it really be considered a win if all of them died? It would be a futile war, Boss couldn't be killed by any means If she could be, then the City would have already done so and would not have resorted to sending her into the Wall

"Go check the situation in the Wall," The Chief said as he patted Eugene's shoulder

"Yes, Chief" Eugene bowed his head before turning around… But before he could take even a single step towards the Wall, he quickly ?" The Chief slightly furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Eugene's back

"C… Chief Who… is that?"

"Hhtly tilted his head to the side, only to see soht in the center of their abode

The stranger, however, continued to scan the Village even with all the eyes of the people on hier opened hisin the air

"Who are you!?" The Chief slightly pushed Eugene to the side as he stepped slightly closer to the Stranger And as soon as he did so, the Stranger turned his head towards hier whispered, an obvious crack in his voice,

"Do you knohere the Messenger is?"

A few hours later, the fire that razed the forest has been quenched fully due to the help of the Mage-type Holders, all that remained were the ashes that fell like snow froravestones, were now full of life, their leaves tre from the ashes of their predecessors
