Chapter 154
“Kuk! What the? Did a seed of parental love sprout inside you all of a sudden? I thought you gave up on everything when you contracted a derily if that was true”
“Please… I ask, no, I beg you, mercy”
“I’m sorry but I can’t accept that request I can’t possibly wake up Sophia, who’s sleeping soundly in Caht-to-be dead father, now can I?”
“… What?”
Confused, Anton stared at Isaac, the anguish in his face replaced with a blank expression Isaac snickered and pulled at Sophia’s lifeless head
“A doll?”
“hello Help me”
Anton’s face was frozen in stupefaction as the doll enunciated the words in a stiff, monotonous voice
“Central’s favourite doll for whenever they need a siht Sophia here? No way that damsel would have stayed put if that was the case”
All strength was sapped out of Anton’s body It was just as Isaac said Rivelia would have never watched in silence as an innocent woman was cruelly tortured and ured it out then, but watching his beloved wife die rattled his eic and reason—and possessed only by the notion of vengeance against Isaac
“Then what about that?”
“Ah, your wife? You were saying that Central’s playing with the world, right? That’s one of theiryou see on the screen isn’t always true Did you actually think a College graduate, a rank 1 knight and the ainst innocent citizens of the Empire?”
“Kukuku, so I’ve been played for a fool from start to finish?”
“But I didn’t expect you to fall for it so easily I was planning to rile you up e, but to think you’d fall for it on the very first stage Such a shao to waste after all the effort I’ve put in”
“… What was the next stage?”
Anton asked, and a bloodthirsty ses of Isaac’s face
“Well, I wonder?”
Anton didn’t have the courage to press Isaac further Even if it was fake, Isaac had deainst his fae could hold
“Let’s wrap this up quickly since we don’t have time to waste Where are the Expeditionary Forces?”
“Kukuku Do you expectto threaten me with now”
Anton arette and pulled out a new one
“I don’t knohat you’re thinking is going to happen, but do you really think it’ll all be over with just your death after cutting off a bear’s arm? Do you think the Empire will protect the family eance, or will the Eive away the family? Not even this damsel will be able to stop it then”
“…”
Anton’s eyes quaked fearfully Completely forfeit, he closed his eyes
“Promise me the safety of…”
Isaac stepped on Anton’s head before he could finish his sentence
“You keep onthat you’re in a position to negotiate with apjil is Understand?”
Anton’s body tre hiround Moments later, he spoke with a hollow voice
“There was one thing the dee for the power to kill Isaac,’ I ainst Isaac if the assassination were to fail”
“Buy tiht The deh time for the soldiers of another world so they can complete their mission”
“Sir Isaac, this is!”
Lanburton cried in panic If what Anton said was true, it onlyThe Expeditionary Forces had joined forces with de his foot froly
“What was the Expeditionary Forces’ mission?”
“That I do not know I ainst us as well I heard thee I’ve never heard before And the man who seemed to be their captain introduced himself as John Smith of Navy Seal”
“Navy Seals? Now some faonists of a countless number of action movies, they were the one and only Navy Seals They may not have been as unstoppable as they were portrayed in thea hundred men one bullet at a tie and a proven track record And with inside help, infiltrating and blowing up the warehouse district must have been one of their easierjust under his nose, but he couldn’t grasp exactly what it could be, frustrating hi I know Kill hts
“Have his order but the elves and North Bears did not act—only hesitate Isaac’s brows furrohen Lanburton spoke up
“We can’t kill him now We have to transport him back to Central’s headquarters and confirm the inforht now?”
Isaac asked, and Lanburton shook his head
