Chapter 219: Meeting with the Association Master
Danius remained silent, too afraid to speak, fearing that he might slip and anger this man. To think that woman had someone like him as a friend—he was utterly screwed!
"Yes, my friend, you’re absolutely screwed," Aldrian said with a casual wave of his hand. "You and your shadow guards are in deep trouble because of your arrogance. Fortunately, you met me. If it had been someone else, you might have lost your life for offending the wrong person."
Danius wanted to curse Aldrian in a thousand different ways inside his mind, but even that seemed impossible—this man appeared to know exactly what he was thinking.
"Anyway, you and those shadow guards of yours already have slave seals. I hope you’ll work well together," Aldrian said, walking ahead. Then, with a smile, he added, "Oh, as a thank you, I’ll give you a clue about my secret: I’m the one so many people are looking for."
Danius didn’t understand what Aldrian meant, but he didn’t care at this moment. All he wanted was for this man to leave as soon as possible.
"Now you’re good to go," Aldrian said, snapping his fingers.
Snap
Suddenly, Danius felt as though something in his surroundings had changed yet hadn’t at the same time. He was stunned to realize that Aldrian had suddenly disappeared. Moving his hand, he pushed himself up from his lying position. A strange sensation washed over him, he couldn’t explain why he had been lying down, but at least he could finally move his body.
His eyes darted around the room, searching for any trace of Aldrian. After confirming that he was truly gone, Danius slumped back onto the sofa. His body was drenched in sweat, and he felt as though he had just woken up from a nightmare.
He seemed disoriented and on the verge of vomiting, the sting of the pain he had just experienced still fresh in his senses. As the young master of a noble family, sheltered and protected by his kin, this was his first time enduring pain that struck directly at his soul, leaving him shaken and traumatized.
He had no idea what the future held for him now, but deep in his heart, one thought persisted, he wanted to escape Aldrian’s grasp.
