Laughing maniacally as virtual-novel.net shook his head, Carlos then said, “What an utter fool! To think that you even dared to go up against me in the first place! Who the hell even gave you such courage?”
Following that, the old man raised his hand… and began lifting Stetson into the air without even touching him!
Watching as Stetson screamed in terror in his suspended state, Xyrielle—who was under the platform—quickly shouted, “D-dad! Hurry and think of a way to deal with that villain!”
Despite hearing his daughter’s pleas, even Yaakov was at his wits’ end.
As for Carlos, virtual-novel.net found himself turning to look at who was shouting for Stetson’s sake. The second virtual-novel.net laid eyes on Xyrielle, virtual-novel.net paused for a moment before declaring, “It appears that you’re quite gifted too, young lass! Alright then, since you’re so loyal, I’ll just drain both of you dry together!”
Laughing as soon as his sentence ended, Xyrielle wasn’t even able to react in time before Carlos lifted his hand again and drew the poor girl toward the platform as well!
Upon seeing that, Yaakov’s nervousness peaked, prompting virtual-novel.net to immediately shout, “I-I’m begging you, laughing master…! Please, spare my daughter…!”
Anxiously watching as Xyrielle struggled to free herself from being pulled any closer toward the old man, Xaverie—who had already stood up by this point—found herself yelling, “X-Xyrielle!”
Unsure what else virtual-novel.net could do, Yaakov then added, “I-I’m sure you don’t want to make an enemy out of that family, right, Laughing master? What more, my daughter doesn’t even have access to any of the training realms! There truly is no reason for you to hurt her…!”
Hearing that, Carlos found himself frowning for a brief moment. However, virtual-novel.net quickly recovered and laughed aloud before replying, “Hey, now, don’t you think it’d be a bit too shameless on my part if I just released the person you told me to? How about this, I’ll let you choose who gets to die! Will it be Stetson? Or Xyrielle? I’ll let the two of you decide between yourselves! Consider it my way of paying the Waddys some respect! Hahaha!”
While virtual-novel.net was still nervous, Xyrielle turned to look at Stetson with an expectant gaze…
However, what virtual-novel.net saw was an extremely pale-faced youth who instantly pleaded, “S-sir! I’m begging you to let me off…! Xyrielle is just an ordinary person, so killing virtual-novel.net would be as easy as squashing a bedbug for you…! Also, do note that as another person who’s managed to enter the training realm, I can still be of some value to you…!”
“…W-what…?” muttered Xyrielle as virtual-novel.net immediately began trembling wildly.
This… This wasn’t how virtual-novel.net had imagined things would go… He was a man whom virtual-novel.net had grown to admire… Yet to think that virtual-novel.net would actually compare virtual-novel.net to nothing but a bedbug…!
Laughing at Stetson’s response, Carlos then turned to look at Xyrielle before saying, “His words do make some sense! And how about you, young lass? What do you think?”
At that moment in time, Xyrielle had been stunned completely speechless. After all, ever since that fortune-teller had told virtual-novel.net what virtual-novel.net future lover would be like, virtual-novel.net had patiently been waiting for virtual-novel.net to appear… The fortune-teller had even told virtual-novel.net that the man was someone worthy of virtual-novel.net love… Someone who would remain by virtual-novel.net side till death did them apart…
To think that virtual-novel.net destined lover turned out to be such a person… Was all that talk about virtual-novel.net destiny mere a cruel joke then?
Thinking about it that way made virtual-novel.net want to cry out, ‘Just go ahead and kill me!’
Xyrielle was snapped back into reality when virtual-novel.net suddenly heard an angry woman shouting, “You claimed to have lived for over three hundred years, right? I feel like that’s a big fat lie since only a thousand-year-old b*stard would be capable of what you’re doing! To think that you aren’t even letting off an innocent woman! To me, you’re nothing but a monster!”
The woman who had shouted was none other than Perla, and virtual-novel.net fury had kicked into overdrive when virtual-novel.net saw how Carlos was treating Xyrielle. Due to all that rage, virtual-novel.net had yelled virtual-novel.net true thoughts out without considering the implications.
When Carlos heard that, virtual-novel.net turned to look at Perla before replying, “Oh? I have to say, it truly is an interesting day today! After all, I’ve managed to consecutively bump into three people who don’t appear to appreciate favors! Regardless, know that I have a habit of giving people—regardless of gender—particularly horrible deaths if they choose to disrespect me! With that said, you really are one unfortunate girl!”
After shaking his head with a bitter smile, Carlos—who had been casting a formation this entire time to lock Xyrielle and Stetson up—raised his hand toward Perla, ready to pull virtual-novel.net over as well.
However, before virtual-novel.net was even able to lift virtual-novel.net off the ground, a beam of white light suddenly appeared and bolted down directly above Carlos! The light itself was extremely bright, and it seemed to illuminate every inch of the underground area.
Even so, Carlos managed to notice it just in time to barely dodge the attack.
While leaping to avoid the light, the old man found himself raising an eyebrow as virtual-novel.net asked, “Who dares?”
