Chapter 529: Arm and Ear (1/2)

Her heart started to pound... but not for a pleasant reason. The sect's matriarch looked at Theo in awe. Unexpectedly, Kauana was telling the truth: she actually knew it and even managed to get Theo to appear.

Impossible!

She wanted to deny that. However, when she felt Theo's aura touch her, the Matriarch shivered with fear and wanted to kneel down and ask for forgiveness automatically.

”Do you know where you went wrong?” The pair of golden wings on Theo's back in full splendor opened up, and he glided in the direction of the Matriarch. Theo's sharp, cold gaze was capable of piercing the bones and freezing the blood.

Coming out of the rubble of the house the whole structure crashed and broke. The Matriarch looked in the direction of Theo, who was gliding with an amazingly terrifying speed. Her heart was stuck in her throat and she felt anguished as if she were about to cry. Everything was unreal and incomprehensible.

How did a useless person like Kauana manage to get the almighty Theo to come and help her?

No! Something was certainly wrong here! She couldn't believe it; she didn't want to believe it was happening.

”No idea? Oh, it's really funny that you think that way.” Theo laughed coldly as if he were reading her mind, bringing panic and even more fear, ”Weren't you acting all-powerful just now while hitting my friend?”

That question caused the place to freeze. It was difficult even to breathe. Theo disdained them all from beginning to end, sparing none of the sect who harmed his friends. In fact, in front of him, they all felt small and insignificant. The gratification and prestige that Theo brought to Planet Spirit was immeasurable.

Shaking, she asked, ”An arm?”

A good connoisseur would understand. She meant that if she took out an arm it would be enough to purge her sin.

”...”

Biting her bottom lips, looking at Theo in awe, she asked in a shaky voice, ”An arm and an ear?”

”Okay.” That simple confirmation. It was both a relief to hear, but also a nightmare.

The Matriarch bit her lip hard, and with determination she cut off her ear and left arm.

Then, she looked into Theo's bright, agonized demonic eyes.

That face that he could cause a nation to collapse had exposed a cold, smiling expression that seems to ridicule her cowardice and incompetence.

Theo did not speak to them anymore. Approaching Kauana, he healed her with his Mana. He couldn't expose his [Healing] ability, at least not in front of so many people. Besides, only his Mana was enough for now. He also approached Naiane and healed her with his Mana as well.

Without warning, he made the two girls float with his mental power. Then he turned and said solemnly to the Matriarch, ”I'm taking them with me, and it's better for you to forget about wanting to see them again... If that happens, well, let's say you won't get out of this just by losing an arm and an ear.”

With that said, Theo disappeared from in front of their eyes.

Theo teleported with Kauana and Naiane in tow to Volts City, using [Healing] on them, and the two girls woke up.

Waking up in a daze, Kauana rubbed her eyes and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. ”Theo?”

”Yeah?” He smiled at her.
