Chapter 22: Zai

Becky sat in the car, squinting and leaning back in the chair amid the roar of the engine, remembering the Ethan he had just seen. Hunter.

Arrogant, ignorant, and greedy.

Except for strength, there is basically nothing.

"This kind of thing can be done badly...... Damn it. ”

At the thought of his subordinate, Becky's brow couldn't help but stir up.

Then, he quickly sneered.

"It's fine."

"Kill you, I'll just be able to clean up a whole bunch."

"Those bastards' claws are really stretched too far."

The thought that welled up in his heart made Becky lift the back of the driver's seat on tiptoe.

"Hurry up."

Becky said.

The driver immediately pushed the speed of the car to a limit, not paying any attention to the so-called red light, and drove all the way into the underground parking lot of an office building.

Becky is a conference room from a dedicated elevator above the top floor.

Several people who had been waiting for a long time looked at each other the moment Betsy entered the conference room.

These people have accumulated over the years, and their high positions and their own strength complement each other, and the momentum they have cultivated has been pressed on Becky's body in an instant as they look at them.

Half-truths, Becky showed nervousness, and cold sweat began to cover his forehead.

The big men were apparently very pleased with this, and after glancing at each other, one of them spoke.

"How?"

The voice was low, but extremely powerful, giving the impression of a metal weapon slashing out.

"Returning to your lords, everything is as you expected, Ethan. Hunter is not an ordinary person, he is a half-demon. ”

Becky bowed, folded his hands left and right, held high above his head, and spoke very quickly, but he said clearly.

"Half-demon?"

A sharp, slightly dissatisfied voice rang out.

"What's wrong with the half-demon?"

As soon as an insolent voice appeared, a gust of wind blew throughout the conference room, and a trace of burning heat appeared in the conference room.

"Not good!"

In the cold tone, the cold wind began to rage, and the temperature in the conference room immediately dropped, and even continued to decrease.

Whew, whew.

Becky's mouth and nose were already breathing.

But Becky was not surprised, and the whole person stood there like a wooden clay sculpture, as if the whole person was frozen by the cold.

"Humph!"

A soft snort.

The smell of blood filled the conference room all of a sudden, and the cold air that was raging a moment ago was overwhelmed by the monstrous sea of blood at this moment.

It's not just the cold itself, it's the source of the cold.

At the same time, three distinct forces began to emerge.

The sheer power made the conference room, which had been reinforced by arcane techniques, begin to crumble.

"Enough!"

"Don't forget who you are!"

"You have long ceased to represent yourselves, but have been crowned on behalf of Ellitel."

A deep, powerful voice shouted angrily.

The conference room immediately fell silent, but this silence was not because of the speaker, but because of the speaker's words, 'Under the coronation of Ellitt'.

Or, more accurately, 'Onuma'.

"How's your investigation of the 'Piercing Thorn'?"

A deep, powerful voice asked again.

"Everything is under control."

Beggy, bowing over, continued.

"Good!"

"Keep an eye on them!"

"I want to know their every move, and I want to show these bold guys what it means to live rather than die!"

A deep, powerful voice jerked up a syllable, like a beast guarding its territory, and began to roar.

And a few people who were still fighting each other just now also echoed each other at this time, and those few sneered one after another.

It seems that in their opinion, the 'piercing thorn' is an enemy who is dismissive and can be pinched to death at will.

Becky maintained a respectful posture.

It wasn't until the emotions of the five in front of him were all stable that he continued to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one more thing."

"I'm in Ethan. Hunter saw the Death Bird - he seemed to be fighting back against the wanted Piercing Thorn, and one of the targets I noticed had been attacked. ”

Becky seemed to be clear, but in fact he said vaguely.

Not only did he hide the whole process, but he also deliberately sucked the name of the sakeli.

"Hmm."

"Got it."

The man with a deep, powerful voice nodded, then waved at Becky.

Becky maintained a bowed posture and slowly exited the conference room, until he entered the elevator, and slowly stood up straight.

"It's good to know!"

Betsy said slowly in his heart, but he still remained indifferent on the surface, and there was no superfluous expression except for the nodding of surprise from his colleagues who passed by.

……

Ethan. Hunter's rapid rise in Yancheng did not make any waves.

Because, ordinary people are not aware of such changes.

And those who are related to the demons are completely attracted by the return of the 'Dead Bird'.

Under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, Qin Ran completely became an unruly 'provocateur', and launched a mortal charge in the face of the 'Piercing Thorn', which can be called a behemoth.

In this regard, some people sneered, some people disdained, and some people worried.

The sneer, with a sarcastic face.

Those who are disdainful, have a proud face.

The worried, anxious.

Tanya is the last one.

The other party, who had already taken a leave of absence, temporarily lived in Rashoji Temple for safety.

When she heard the news about Qin Ran that Kna had brought back, Tanya stood up straight from the crystal ball.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the knight of this king!"

"Glory to your armor."

"Praise is your sword."

"You will sacrifice for the ultimate victory."

"But this king will not allow you to be harmed in any way, my knight, please accept my blessing, please ...... Oops, it hurts! ”

Holding the top of her head, Tanya, who was squatting on the ground, screamed in pain.

Then, with tears in her eyes, she looked at Kna and pouted and shouted loudly.

"Bold people, this king's army of 100,000 will set foot on your house...... Don't hit me, I won't dare anymore. ”

However, when Kna raised her palm, Tanya immediately begged for mercy, but Tanya drew circles on the ground while begging for mercy.

"What are you doing?"

Kna asked, frowning.

For the acquaintance in front of her who has a brain problem, if it weren't for the relationship between classmates and the 'dead bird', she definitely wouldn't want to have any contact with the other party.

"Nothing."

"This is my blessing."

"Are we going to help 2567?"

Tanya quickly changed the subject.

"Help?"

"Are you sure you're going to help, not make trouble?"

Kna glanced at Tanya.

"Of course!"

Tanya said confidently.

And, took out something from his hand.

It was a small, tattered scarecrow, covered with traces of time, and the rope on which the grass was woven was broken.

"Straw man?"

Kna still had a little hope, but at this time she completely lost her patience, shook her head, and walked out.

As one of the protectors of Rashoji Temple, she knows very well how ridiculous and unreliable this kind of thing is.

Looking at Kna's back, Tanya opened her mouth, wanting to call out to the other party, but in the end, she gritted her teeth.

"This is my family heirloom!"

"Mom said she would use it to help the most important people!"

"Mom won't lie to Tanya!"

Tanya muttered to herself with a look of seriousness that had never been seen before.

And then......

A silver needle appeared in Tanya's hand and stabbed hard at the scarecrow with the name 'Thorn of Piercing' written on it.
