Chapter 212 (2): If I Don’t Kick You Now, I Won’t Be Able to Sleep Tonight
Wayne would love to cripple Auston and take over as the head of the Lando family, living in Auston’s house and using Auston's money while sleeping with Auston’s daughter and beating up Auston’s grandson. Once Auston was near his death, he would even personally turn off the life support!
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Upon second thought, though, he realized that the plan wasn’t viable. If he were going to tell his master, he would have to reveal the fact that he was the Death Knight. Compared to her student being the Death Knight, the immoral relationship between her husband and butler would be nothing.
Wayne cursed in his head. He had the evidence, but couldn’t do anything to the old man. Fuming, he scoffed, “You’re here to discuss with me how the demons should be disposed of on Windsor’s behalf, yet you brought your lover and couldn’t keep your hands off her. What, are you mocking me for being a skeleton?”
He’s hostile! Is it a coincidence?
Auston frowned slightly, smiling rather than answering the question. “Sir Knight, a few days ago, a demon from hell descended to the human world and challenged your authority in the Great Cemetery, dying at your blade at the end.”
“You’re well-informed.”
“To tell you the truth, the Ministry of Magic has a special source of information that sees every little thing in Londan,” Auston said humbly. “Nothing, no matter how trivial, can escape Her Majesty’s notice.”
Is that special source of information a handsome boy with a sunny disposition?
Wayne rolled his figurative eyes. He was only giving a disingenuous compliment, yet Auston ran away with it.
“Sir Knight, you must know that there is more than one demon. Others remain in the dark, similarly targeting you. After learning of the situation, Her Majesty expressed her deepest concern for you.”
“Why would your queen care?” Wayne huffed, his tone icy. “Cut the crap. For some reason, the mere sight of you gets on my nerves, and I feel like bursting out of this skeleton. I want nothing but to draw the sword and cut you to pieces.”
