Chapter 380: [378] Waiting?
At Aria's invitation, August arrived in the living room and had tea with her family.
Although the tea was laced with sleeping pills, it was unfortunate for them that it was only this weak concoction. The sedatives did not affect on August whatsoever.
This led to a strange situation—August conversed with them casually, while they were forced to humor him, hoping he would eventually collapse. But, to their dismay, he did not.
From their conversation, they learned that August was a powerful individual, one who was not easily intimidated. This caused the three of them to hold back from any overt aggression, still wary of confronting him outright.
The situation developed in such an odd way that August did not mind. After all, now that he had come this far, he was curious to meet the protagonists. In the end, many of the women in this story would meet tragic fates, though a few managed to survive, but even their survival seemed uncertain.
Even those who survived until the end, like Najenda and Akame—one of whom had drained her life force and the other cursed by a Teigu—would face uncertain fates. The story might have ended with them alive, but how long they would remain so was anyone's guess.
As evening passed, night swiftly descended.
Bang~
Suddenly, the door to the living room was violently shattered, and a heavily armored guard was flung through it.
He crashed into the wall, spat out blood, and died instantly.
"Who goes there?"
