Chapter 153 - 152. Something Sinister (2)
Three days had passed after the dinner meeting with Lord Devil and I couldn’t help but feel annoyed. It was night time and I hadn’t eaten since all day as I kept thinking and looking through the maps in front of me.
"Is there something the matter?" Roan asked as I sat in my office without doing anything and probably giving off the angsty vibes.
"Yes, a grave one." I answered making him frown.
I stood up from my chair and he followed suit.
We stepped out of my office and I walked up to the backside of my mansion. I could sense around twenty or so assassins who were stationed around for the protection of the territory.
It was almost night time and Oasis’s night activities had begun. I and Roan walked through the streets, the people around greeted me while I passed by before I reached in front of the book store in the town which had the name Lair of Tales.
I entered the town hearing the bell attached to the door jingle and the girl inside to lift her head from the book that she was reading.
"Master? Good evening," she greeted me with a smile.
She had her black hair braided and flowing down her shoulders with her gray eyes sparkling with her innate intelligence.
I walked up to the stairs that would lead to the second floor giving her a glance and she nodded once understanding my gesture.
She followed me along with Roan up the stairs till we reached at the sitting area with tables, chairs and bookshelves lining the large circular space.
