The Villain's Story

Chapter 217 [217] I Cannot Delay This Any Longer.



Elijah lay on his bed as he wondered.

'Agri, the black dragon, the angel...the shining light...'

He thought...wondering whether whatever he was seeing was real or not.

No...it was real...that fact could not be refuted because Elijah...felt it...strangely.

Illusions?Predictions?Hallucinations? Just what in the world was he seeing?

In the end, he concluded one thing.

The only one he knows who should have an Idea about this is Agri...But.

'Agri.'

Elijah called out within his mind.

'Agri.'

He called out again...half expecting a response but then there it was.

...The one he called out to responded, surprisingly.

[What is it?]

'You responded?'

[You called?]

Elijah was surprised as he did not expect his attempt to work...but he asked nonetheless.

'What is happening? What are these...what am I seeing?'

Elijah asked Agri, a question he so desperately wanted answers to.

[What are you talking about?]

Agri played dumb. Shocking Elijah. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine Agri playing dumb. He was a Supreme Dragon!

...or it could also be that Agri did not know.

[Yes, I have no idea what you are talking about.]

'... never mind he knows.]

[I do not]

'YOU DO! Tell me or something bad is going to happen.'

[Like what?]

Agri questioned, almost laughing to himself as he heard Elijah.

"Deci-"

[OK OK!]

Agri succumbed quite quickly. Elijah was about to activate Decimation when his body had not fully recovered and kill himself, something Agri could not allow because Elijah was his successor...and He succumbed so quickly because he knew Elijah was actually about to commit literal Suicide.

[I cannot tell you, even if I wanted to.]

'Bullshit.'

Elijah said, not believing it to be the case and thinking this was another way to avoid talking about this.

'I need answers Agri, I keep seeing these...dreams and have little Idea of what is actually happening! I need Answers!'

Agri went Silent after Hearing Elijah. Elijah in return got frustrated and just as he was about to activate decimation...Agri responded.

[Fine, You will see that I, Supreme Dragon of Fire do not bluff! What you are seeing are visions of the ******** where ******* ****** ****** and******** ********...and you are already fainting.]

Agri ended his incomprehensible sentence with a sarcastic smirk...looking at Elijah, whose nose was bleeding...and his head was turning.

Elijah tumbled to the ground...falling off his bed and just as he regained consciousness he was warned and advised by Agri.

[You are not ready yet, also watch out for that...mentally ill girl. Oh and also you had something to do no? Family should not be kept waiting.]

'Not ready yet? Mentally Ill? Family?'

Elijah wondered as he opened his eyes...and Saw Serena's cold, 'loving', obsessive eyes looking at him...from under his bed.

"Oh, your awake darling...I wanted to surprise you."

"KYAAA!"

"?"

******

[Meanwhile, at the office.]

"You were attacked by an anti-awakened group called the Norms, they used a drug that doesn't have an official name yet, but is called the Demon's blood unofficially. It's a chemical that reduces Mana movement and makes one lose the feeling of mana and lack of control...as a result the mana inside your body leaks out without you being able to stop it...but it didn't affect you?"

Maxwell explained as he examined the special bullet that Alan was shot with, Whilst Alan was sitting on the couch with a new set of clothes, sweatpants, and a T-Shirt.

"That's strange... but hey maybe this is low-quality Demon Blood...where did the city even acquire them from? It's a drug that doesn't have a lot of distributors...neither is it legal..."

Maxwell mumbled as he examined the bullet...opening up his laptop and beginning research.

"..."

Alan stared at him silently...and then looked at someone else that was completely unexpected...and asked Alice.

"So...What is she doing here?"

Alice...simply shrugged her shoulders...indicating that even she was Oblivious.

As 'She' elegantly drank her coffee, she said.

"How rude, and also great coffee, would it trouble you to send me the recipe later?"

...

"Ok, what is Sabrina doing here?"

Alan asked the members of predator...who all gave their varying answers.

"I don't know boss, When I woke up she was already here. But she can stay because she's pretty."

"I don't know as well, but she complimented my coffee so she can stay."

" I don't know but she offered me money so she can stay. She's good."

...

...

...

Alan wanted to punch his teammates so badly...

"Kazikato, please be aware of your surroundings more, and don't let a random stranger in here."

"Ok, boss."

"Two, Alice, your cooking is so great It's hard to imagine someone hating it...But don't like anyone that just compliments it simply."

"Fine."

"AND THIRD, YOU MONEY-HUNGRY BASTARD, DO YOU HAVE NO SHAME?!"

Alan jumped at Maxwell, whilst his screaming voice had shocked everyone in the room...then his actions of choking Maxwell worried everyone further.

"Why am I being yelled at? You freak"

"You dare call your boss a Freak?!"

"BOSS MY ASS!"

"SHUT UP!"

They watched Maxwell and Alan go at it...until finally Alan won the struggle and sat On maxwell's defeated back triumphantly.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Alice, Sabrina, and Kazikato all had blank looks on their faces as they saw what happened.

"What?"

Alan asked them...and Sabrina responded.

"Well, One, My bodyguard is somehow upset about my appearance, and Two, You just beat the...living lights of your financial advisor or accountant whilst he was defenseless."

Alan looked at Sabrina and then said calmly.

"Don't worry, although he doesn't look like it, He is actually strong. But what are you doing here anyway? Don't you have rich girl stuff to do? Like attending tea parties and whatnot?"

Sabrina looked at her bodyguard with a...let's just say perplexed expression on her face and said.

"I was invited by Elijah to try his family's fried chicken. And it was heavenly. By the way, do you honestly think I just sit around and attend tea parties?"

She asked...and didn't even need to wait for Alan to answer because his dumb but rather cute face already told her.

"And I will have you know, I have every right to be here."

"Ughh."

Maxwell groaned underneath Alan, and Alan got up and asked her.

"Why?"

But instead of her...the one that answered was Maxwell.

"She...cough...is the heir of our guild's biggest sponsor and supporter. And also the one you need to protect you freak..."

He said as he struggled to walk and sat in his chair with great difficulty.

"Cough...you fucking hippo..."

He mumbled in a low voice...but Alan's advanced hearing heard it.

"I'll have you know it's all muscle."

"Anyways...because of what Alan and Kazikato did...we have a lot of problems to discuss."

Maxwell said...and his words got th attention of everyone present.
