118 City of desire 3 (2/2)

”This is bad! I feel as though my insides are rotting!” someone said.

”Call the city lord!”

Inside the city lord's mansion, the residing elders appeared before a young man who looked no older than twenty.

”Lord!” they bowed.

”It is coming from the library! We need to go over and check it out!” another said.

”Do nothing!” the boy said.

”Lord?” they asked.

”That man is there, nothing will happen...” he said and the elders frowned in confusion, but he did not care. He looked towards the direction of the library.

”Will he come out this time?” he asked.

Back at the hall of doors, Nti Anem hurried back several steps, ”Ed! It's an illusion!” he said hurriedly.

”I know.” Ed said and his energy settled as he retracted his killing intent. He looked towards Baskii and struck him a dangerous look, ”never do that again.” he said and started to walk away. Ku Jian remained stuck in place, trembling as she looked at Ed's leaving back.
