Chapter 66: The Insider
“How’s the task going?”
“Which one? The one to gather the bones of the Bluebirds or the one that Nemo Light chose.”
“You know which one I’m talking about. Don’t talk nonsense.”
“How much ambition do you expect people from a small town to have? I don’t think Light will join you— Oh sorry, sorry, join us. There’s something wrong with Light’s head, and his teammates are crazy enough to leave no doubt. Personally, I think they’re pretty good that way.”
“It’s been a long time since a demon warlock with an unknown power has appeared. If he’s really just an ordinary person, you can handle him. Dylan, you’ve never failed.”
The sun had set. Jesse Dylan was standing alone in the ruins of Vincent Town. This should’ve been the living room of some family. The exquisite vase shattered to pieces under his feet. The flowers and fruits crumbled to dust. Ants had already began gathering on the broken peels. A small religious portrait fell not far away and the frame that was decorated with gold powder was covered with sludge. The woman in the painting had her eyes closed tightly and the corners of her mouth was plastered with a compassionate smile. This was probably the god in the imagination of the townspeople of Vincent Town.
The young blond man casually kicked the fragments of the vase with the tips of his boots, while the crystal glowed softly in the night.
“Who said I failed?” Jesse replied with a smile.
“Your task is to bring Nemo Light back. It’s okay to use force. However, I’m not seeing any signs of success, my deputy leader.” The other party’s tone was laced with sarcasm.
