Chapter 170 - 169. Bigger Game (5)
The midnight air was crisp and chilly but it had no effect on me as I flew past the towns below me towards my destination.
There was no moon in the sky tonight so, it was rather dark but thanks to my Dragon’s senses it was easier to see things.
The silence stretched around me and the only sounds the filled that void was the ruffling of the feathers on my wings as the wind glided through them and the flapping of my hood and my coat.
I spotted the familiar place and slowed my pace before I expanded my wings and stretched my legs towards the ground before my toe touched the floor and my wings slowly retracted.
I walked inside that place without any need of any attendant and checked the time in my pocket watch.
It was ten past midnight, I was a little late. I made my way down the corridor and I reached in front of the doors where I had a meeting.
I opened the doors with a single tap from my hand and the man inside the small space got startled.
"Apologies, I am a little late." I said as I entered and the man sighed.
"It’s fine... At least you’re here."
He stood up and stretched his hand to me, "Thank you for coming, Lord Dragon."
I felt the tremors in Lord Devil’s hand as I grasped it with gentle pressure and nodded. He was currently in a predicament and there was no one else who could help him. I knew he would be suspecting me as well but judging by the things that he might know of me he would rather place his trust in me than anyone else.
