Chapter 203 - Chaos (1/2)
Hundun looks over my shoulder and slowly straightens himself with a sly smile as he says ”Zhen, it's been too long. Fancy seeing you here... do you know Nova as well?” Zhen walks up next to me with a roll of his eyes as he says ”Stop acting like you don't know that she's my granddaughter.”
Hundun smirks and says ”Hmmm, you always did know me the best.” Hundun looks back to me and asks ”Why did you call me?” I narrow my eyes at him and get straight to the point ”Were you in a contract with Eli?”
Hundun watches me with white eyes before looking around saying ”So this is the Dark Palace?” I grit my teeth and say ”Answer me before I pull out a Bible and Holy water and exercise your ȧss.” Hundun frowns and asks ”Bible? Holy water?”
I don't bother explaining as I continue to glare, so Hundun sighs and says ”No, I was never in a contract with that useless man. When I turned him down, he called my brother. My brother took the contract but I was more interested in who you were.”
My anger spikes as I stare at the demon with disbelief. Zhen sighs and says ”I knew it...” Hundun looks bored as he looks around the empty garden but something suddenly comes to mind. Even though he likes chaos... he never actually lies.
Sure, he's given half-truths or just withheld information all together but he's never lied. He said 'He' contracted him to bring me to 'Him'... who is 'He'? I watch Hundun closely as I ask ”Who were you contracted to then? Who's the one who wanted me?”
Hundun slowly turns to look at me with a knowing smile as he says ”As I said before, smart and pretty. I knew I wasn't going to be bored with you. To answer your question, I'll have to ask you a question.”
I sigh and say ”Ask away” as Zhen glares at Hundun with growing irritation. Hunden steps forward and leans down next to my ear whispering ”Who's arms have you been in?” His words confuse me before a handsome, twisted face suddenly comes to mind.
”Shit...” I say causing Hundun to laugh and Zhen to frown. Zhen pushes Hundun back away from me as he turns to look at me in confusion. I close my eyes for a moment before I say ”Jiang... that bastard really came back?”
Hundun smiles and says ”Not entirely... we met in the Realm of the Dead. He made a contract with me to drag you down to the Realm of the Dead.” Zhen's mind races with shock and disbelief as I ask ”What did he offer you to make a contract with him?”
Hundun leans forward and wags his finger back and forth in front of my face as he says ”You have to give me something first.” I narrow my eyes on him as I mumble ”Probably isn't worth knowing...” Hundun's smile quickly disappears as he leans back and ”Tsk, have it your way then.”
Suddenly, I feel like something off about what Hundun said. ”If he's already dead and he no longer has anything to offer... what could he possibly give you?” I ask looking back to him with suspicion. Hundun's fake pout quickly disappears as his eyes flash with excitement saying ”You never fail to meet my expectations.”
