Chapter 198 (2): Book of Hell
Wayne delayed his departure by five minutes. To prevent the servants at the villa from tipping the Snow family off, he waved his hand and scattered green spores to put them in a peaceful slumber.
The Queen’s order was to eliminate everyone without mercy, but Wayne was too kindhearted to bear seeing that much blood. He thus narrowed the scope to the Snow family members. Bringing Mona along, he drove toward the Snow family’s large estate in the downtown area.
Reaching the Snow Estate, the black sedan entered the iron gates and followed the driveway to the main house. Adlai, the head of the family, came forward enthusiastically to greet them. Seeing only Wayne and Mona, he couldn’t help but ask, “Sir Wayne, why isn’t Marion by your side? I arranged for her to be your personal guide. She’s been terribly negligent.”
“Miss Marion came along, too.”
“Where is she?”
“No rush. Mr. Adlai, I recall you saying that the Snow family would fully cooperate with the investigation, and that all family members are at the estate. Is that correct?”
“That is correct,” Adlai said solemnly. “The Snow family serves Her Majesty and remains loyal to Windsor. As head of the family, I welcome any form of investigation so long as it proves our family’s innocence.”
“If Her Majesty demanded that all of the Snow family demonstrate your loyalty by giving your lives, will you comply, Mr. Adlai?” Wayne quirked an eyebrow.
“Sir Wayne, please don’t make a joke like that,” Adlai said with a stiff expression. The next second, his lips curled into an amused smile. “If that were Her Majesty’s decree, the loyal Snow family would indeed carry out the order.”
“I’m relieved.” Wayne patted Mona on her bottom. She stepped forward, opening the suitcase and spilling the dismembered parts of the succubus to the ground.
“That’s—” Adlai narrowed his eyes to hide his shock, his pupils contracting. “Sir Wayne, what creature’s wings are these? A bat’s? Why are they so big?”
“Bats represent Pride among the Seven Demon Lords. They have nothing to do with Lust. Mr. Adlai, this is your daughter, Marion. With your permission, Obed, the traitor, transformed her into a succubus. You should recognize her.” Wayne spoke coolly, still feeling some regret for the succubus.
