Chapter 162 - 162: Curtains

"My name…

is Hercules"

"Hercules?"

""

"That's a weird naer introduce himself could not help but look at each other Why did he emphasize his name like they were supposed to knoho he was?

"I suppose it doesn't er, Hercules, could not help but let out a short sigh as he looked at the expressions of confusion of the people, "I do have business with you, Messenger…

Away fro eyes, if possible"

Hercules looked around, causing the Locals to flinch as soon as his eyes stray towards them Most of them have seen what this man is capable of first hand and they knew… That most of them will die if he makes aGil back and slightly pushi+ng the others to the side as he stepped forward Although he really would prefer to talk to this freakishly tall man alone, he doesn't knohat he was capable of

"I am afraid I prefer for us to talk alone," Hercules quickly shook his head as he heard Van's words, "I do apologize, Messenger A thousand years of being stuck in this place have taught me the value of privacy"

A thousand years? What is this guy saying? He has been here for a thousand years?

"But if you are busy, I respect that," Hercules then said as he took in a deep breath, "Let us talk soet…

A little bit iene, "You do not need to worry about me anymore, citizen I have already confirmed what I needed"

"What?"

"I will not har as you do not provoke me, that is My temper can be a bit…

Erratic"

And with those words, Hercules turned towards the gates and started to walk away But before the Locals could breathe again, he stopped on his tracks

"Before I forget…" Hercules then raised his hand before his whole body turned into a blur

"!!!" Van's eyes widened as his [Time Perception] skill activated in instinct But it would seem that it activated too late, but from the few moments that Hercules moved, Van realized how fast he was

Is he… faster than Charlotte? Van thought as he turned off his [Ti around," Hercules then said as he shook his raised hand, which now held so, "I told you I value my privacy"

"!!!"

In his hand was a bundle of hair The people all slowly looked down to see where the hair led to, only to see Reed's whole body hanging like a puppet at the end of it

"R… Reed…" Latanya's stuttered whispers trailed through the air

"This isn't a friend of yours, is it, Messenger?" Hercules once again looked at Van, "If so, I deeply apologize"

Van only squinted his eyes as he looked at Reed before returning his eyes to Hercules

"I take that as a no, good" Hercules let out a slight sigh as he nonchalantly dropped Reed on the ground

"He should still be alive You have a witch alanced at Latanya before finally leaving the Village

The breaths of the Locals which they were trying to hold back quickly drowned the air as they could finally find themselves able to breathe They didn't notice it, but the whole ti their breaths
