Chapter 102: Down (1)
“Do you really think they would leave her somewhere this obvious? She might not be here at all. What will you do then?”
The steps groaned slowly and quietly as they sensed the intruder. Enjoying the trembling beneath his feet, Liam Moore turned to look at Owen Cassfire. His eyes, now a peculiar shade of lavender, glinted strangely.
“If she’s not here, I’ll turn all of London upside down to find her.”
Owen Cassfire shuddered. “You’re insane.”
With each step on the stone staircase, there came a sound like an impure wailing. The noise seemed to be a warning from the darkness, alerting to the arrival of a new presence from the surface.
“Do you think they’re keeping something inside?”
Owen, startled by the noise, asked. Liam merely shrugged. Perhaps feeling even more uneasy from that nonchalant response, Owen continued in a hushed voice.
“I once ran into a strange tentacle creature because of you. If there’s anything like that here, I can’t fight it. I’m closer to a scholar than a gladiator. I can’t wrestle with monsters. You better understand that!”
Liam replied bluntly, “If you keep that up, I’ll leave you behind when the monsters show up.”
