From the moment Scarlet appeared, Victor and You, whose eyes were glued to the red skull, noticed the unusual behavior of the ferocious enemy at the first moment.
Victor turned around and carefully looked at the red skull.
You, on the other hand, locked her gaze on Scarlet.
He was worried that the red skull was doing it on purpose.
However, when he saw there was really someone behind him and saw the face of the person, Victor's eyes flashed with astonishment.
The handsome face didn't look like it came from the mortal realm, but from the murals in the cathedral, the angels or the Gods.
However, the clothes were old and tattered.
The edges of the trench coat were worn out, the same went for the knees of his pants. His leather shoes were even dirtier, stained with vomit or something similar.
If one didn't look at the face and only looked at the outfit, he looked like an alcoholic.
Victor was sizing up Anna.
Anna was also looking at Victor.
Huh?
Almost instantly, Anna noticed something wasn't right.
His eyes were clear, like a child's.
He wasn't as secretive as before, only pure and quick-witted.
What was going on?
Anna was confused.
It was then that You finally turned around.
"Lord Anna?!"
She cried out in shock when she saw Anna.
"Anna?"
Victor was stunned, looking at You with a questioning gaze.
"Lord Anna is one of the higher ranks of the Herders, he is very powerful."
You explained softly.
"Which means we are safe now?"
Victor heaved a breath of relief.
"No!
Lord Anna is one of the few enemies you once had — he always thought you were hiding something and had ulterior motives, but because he didn't have any proof, he kept a low profile.
But now … "
Before You could finish, Victor smiled bitterly.
It was obvious that Anna couldn't wait to rush over now that his' plan 'had been exposed.
What did he want?
The answer was obvious.
Viktor pulled You and the two of them slowly moved to the side. Scarlet didn't move, Anna didn't move either, and soon, the three of them formed a triangle.
Viktor and You looked at Scarlet and Anna with a vigilant gaze.
The other two?
They ignored Victor and You, as if they only had eyes for themselves.
A formless aura pressured Victor and You, forcing them back again.
You's body rippled.
Victor's feeling was even more obvious.
He felt as if his wounds had been mended, and his limbs were stiff as if he was drowning.
"Lord Victor, only your soul was damaged and you lost your memories."
"Otherwise, you can also be this strong!"
Lady You comforted Victor.
Victor could tell.
So, a bitter smile appeared on his face again.
He did not pay much attention to Lady You when she mentioned how powerful he was.
It was only now that he had an understanding of this power.
Could I have done that before?
What kind of person was I before?
One question after another appeared in Victor's mind, causing his temples to swell and his mind to go blank.
"Ah!"
A cry of pain came from Viktor's mouth as he fell to the ground.
You immediately turned around to check.
The cry of pain was like a starting gun. Scarlet moved.
He didn't rush towards Anna who had been staring at him.
Instead, he dashed towards Victor who had fallen to the ground.
In the dark night, it was like a streak of red light. In a breath's time, it appeared in front of Victor, grabbing at the wide-eyed Victor.
"Get lost!"
You waved her hand and fired a gloomy, cold aura.
The cold aura turned into a gloomy wind and assaulted Scarlet.
However, Scarlet didn't even dodge. It rammed straight into the Yin Wind and continued to claw at Viktor.
Just as Scarlet was about to grab Viktor's neck, a white palm landed on Scarlet's skeletal claw. Anna had appeared beside Scarlet out of nowhere.
"I'm sorry.
He is very important to us.
I can't let you take him away. "
Despite facing an enemy, Anna was still as gentle as ever.
"Hmph!"
Scarlet snorted coldly and increased its strength, but Anna's hand still held it tightly. It wasn't just the strength of its body, but the strength of its body as well. It was as if Anna's hand had been locked, and it couldn't be used at all.
On top of that, as time went by slowly …
Scarlet was horrified to find that the power it had accumulated over a hundred years was slowly disappearing.
"Let go!"
Scarlet shouted.
"No!
You have to promise me you won't hurt Victor again! "
Anna shook his head.
"Dream on!"
Scarlet shouted angrily.
How could it give up?
Victor, the bastard who had ruined all his plans!
Scarlet didn't just want to get the location of Ring City's treasure from Victor, it wanted to skin Victor alive!
It didn't even want to spare his soul!
It wanted to make Victor wish he was dead!
Hate!
The monstrous hatred made Scarlet abandon its usual pretense. It didn't want to feign civility, nor did it want to wait any longer. It wanted to break Victor's limbs and collect a portion of the interest.
"DIE!"
The soul fire in Scarlet's eye sockets burned fiercely, as if it was about to burst out.
The remaining flesh and blood on the skeleton's face began to distort.
Some of the flesh even cracked.
Blood gushed out in an instant.
Scarlet mobilized the hidden power in its body, ready to risk its life against this strange bastard.
However, before it could complete its technique, it realized something was wrong with the bastard.
His face, which had always been gentle, seemed to have a hint of … discomfort?
His hand on Scarlet's hand started to loosen as well.
More importantly, the power that had been melting Scarlet's power started to fade.
'What happened?
A trap?
Trying to lure me out? '
Scarlet looked at Anna with a doubtful gaze, but it didn't advance recklessly.
Then …
"Ugh!"
Anna couldn't hold back the disgust in his heart when he saw the blood on Scarlet's face.
The energy bar that he ate earlier to soothe his stomach had turned into a paste, mixed with acid, splattered all over Scarlet's face.
The sticky, stinky vomit fell from Scarlet's head and fell to the ground.
Scarlet was stunned.
It was petrified.
Ever since it came back to life, it had never been attacked like this.
It could even be said that after losing its stomach, it felt an unusual disgust from the bottom of its soul.
However, if it had a choice, it would rather not experience such a disgust.
Even if it would fall to the ground, it didn't want to be attacked like this.
Humiliation!
Humiliation!
The disgust from the bottom of its soul quickly turned into rage.
It was like an erupting volcano, assaulting its soul.
"I'll kill you!
I'll kill you!
You bastard! "
Scarlet roared.
"I'm sorry."
Anna apologized sincerely, but at the next moment, he couldn't hold back his vomit again.
Ugh!
The vomit splattered on Scarlet's face again.
Feeling the weak energy in his body, Anna released his hand without a second thought, grabbed Victor and You, and ran for his life.
He had no confidence in defeating Scarlet in his current condition.
"Let's go to Leaf Dining!
There's someone there who can help us! "
You said softly.
She clearly felt how powerful Scarlet was behind her.
Common people weren't a match for Scarlet.
Except for the unpredictable Dark Dominator.
Unfortunately, Scarlet couldn't find the Dark Dominator anymore.
Fortunately, the Bird of Death that the Dark Dominator followed was still around.
Scarlet knew where to find the Bird of Death.
Even if the unawakened Bird of Death wasn't a match for Scarlet, the powerful Dark Dominator wouldn't just stand by and watch, he would surely lend a helping hand.
With that thought in mind, You sounded quite certain about it.
Although deep in his heart, he was curious as to how the restaurant he had just been to had a presence that could resist the red skull behind him, he sensed You's affirmation and confidence and headed straight for Leaf Dining without a second thought.
'Could it be the chef?'
Anna wondered as he hastened his steps.
Even though he had just vomited and his body was sore, Anna's speed shouldn't be underestimated. When Scarlet touched its face, Anna had already vanished into the horizon.
Scarlet laughed ferociously at the direction where Anna disappeared.
A moment later, Scarlet also vanished.
When everyone else vanished, Kieran and Bloody Mary walked out from the shadows.
"What an unexpected attack!"
Bloody Mary exclaimed.
"Afraid of blood?"
Kieran muttered to himself before vanishing into thin air.
Bloody Mary knew what its boss was going to do, but it didn't follow him.
This was because it realized that the identity of the Dark Dominator seemed to be very useful. Naturally, it needed to make some arrangements to make this identity perfect.
…
Back in the restaurant, other than Amy, who stayed for the night, Li Jiajia was the only one left, cleaning up the restaurant.
After making sure the last stool was cleaned, Li Jiajia walked to the kitchen in a happy mood.
"Run!
"Run!"
The sign of disaster has appeared! "
The voice echoed in Li Jiajia's ears again.
Li Jiajia didn't care.
'Run?
What disaster?
Everything is fake! '
However, the voice roared in Li Jiajia's mind in a way that was more forceful than ever before, forcing Li Jiajia to stop in her tracks.
'Shut up!'
Li Jiajia shouted in her heart.
Although she was extremely frustrated with the voice in her head, after such a long time, Li Jiajia had learned how to communicate with the voice.
"No!
Disaster … "
"Shut up!
If you don't shut up, I'll beg my teacher or boss to dig you out from my body! "
Li Jiajia said.
No doubt her words were very useful.
A moment later, the voice in Li Jiajia's head vanished.
Li Jiajia heaved a sigh of relief and walked straight to the kitchen.
Li Jiajia loved this period of time after closing the shop every day.
During this period of time, she could train her cooking skills to her heart's content, her teacher would also provide her with guidance.
However, today was a little unexpected.
She didn't just see her teacher in the kitchen, she saw her boss as well.
She didn't know why her boss was here after he said he was training underground, but she knew all she had to do was keep quiet and smile.
"I have some problems to deal with later."
Kieran said to Starbeck after he returned to the kitchen.
"Em.
I made some soup for you.
I even added some herbs that I just mixed … It's good for your body. "
Starbeck nodded with a smile.
Ever since he was with Kieran, Starbeck had gotten used to the days of sudden danger.
In fact, the danger before his eyes was nothing.
Kieran didn't even have the chance to speak before the ambush happened. God knows how many times it had happened.
So, Starbeck calmly did what he had to do.
Kieran smiled, turned around, and walked out. When he passed by Li Jiajia, he nodded slightly, but he didn't stop and walked away.
Although there was something strange in Li Jiajia's body, Kieran knew she had a clear mind.
In simple words, she knew what to do and what not to do.
The curtain of the kitchen was drawn down again.
Huu!
Li Jiajia took in a long breath.
"Teacher, don't you feel pressured every time you see your boss?"
Li Jiajia asked Starbeck.
Every time she saw Kieran, her heart would skip a beat.
She felt like she was in the middle of a barren field in the middle of a dark night, empty, lifeless, yet dangerous.
"Yes at first.
"After that, I slowly got used to it."
He is a … kind person, just not good at expressing himself. "
Starbeck said with a smile.
"Is that so?
"Perhaps it's because you're the younger brother, so as the older brother, the boss takes special care of you?"
Li Jiajia tilted her head.
"Older brother?"
Starbeck shook his head with a smile.
Li Jiajia didn't know what Starbeck meant.
But she could tell her teacher was different when he was talking to her boss, he was much gentler than usual.
Different from each other?
With that thought lingering in her mind, Li Jiajia walked to the chopping board and started her new practice under Starbeck's guidance.
Meanwhile, in the living room of the restaurant, Kieran was fully focused on his preparation.
He wasn't distracted at all and didn't hear the conversation in the kitchen.
"What's wrong?"
Amy, who was staying at Kieran's place, sharply noticed something wasn't right when she saw him come out.
"Go to the kitchen and wait.
There might be trouble if you stay here for a while. "
Kieran said calmly.
"Okay."
Amy, who had been through a lot of special situations, followed Kieran's advice and dashed into the kitchen.
A moment later, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
Bang!
The door was smashed open.
Anna grabbed Victor and You and threw them into the restaurant.
Scarlet was behind them.
"Excuse me, are you the owner of this restaurant?"
Victor struggled to stand up and asked.
"Um, yes."
Kieran took a sip of tea and pointed at the broken door. "1000."
