Chapter 223 (2): Beware of the Black Cat
Wayne was beyond disappointed. “If they aren’t related, why are you stopping me from approaching the Princess? Isn’t it a good thing for me to complete your unfinished business?”
“Don’t start anything. Keep your distance from the royal family. Moreover, Her Highness isn’t like the girls you’ve fooled. She knows what she’s doing and is capable of backing it up. If you go after her, you’ll only be used by her.”
“So she’s strong?”
“I don’t know, neither do I care.” Auston ended the conversation about his personal affair. “You said that the demons came for the Death Knight, but based on what we’re seeing, outside of the first familiar, the other two are planning something else...”
Marius died in the Western District Great Cemetery, his corpse converted into Wayne’s elite unit. Caim had fallen under the control of the mysterious figure and became sustenance for the Book of Greed. And Juliette had yet to make an appearance, hiding somewhere unknown.
Judging by the name, Juliette was likely a female familiar, but sex was more fluid for demons. There was a possibility that she was a he.
“The Ministry of Magic is looking for the demons...”
“The mysterious man knows hell too well, so the ministry suspects Frank Turner, the hell expert. However, Frank isn’t among the leadership of the ministry and has limited access to confidential information. His strength is also...”
Auston paused. “Lack of access to information and insufficient power don’t necessarily disprove anything. You’re a good example. You’re not among the higher-ups of the ministry, but I know a lot of important information. Insufficient power is even easier to amend. Just sacrifice your soul to a faith and endure the consequences, and it won’t be difficult to get stronger. Frank’s now locked up and being interrogated. He won’t be released anytime soon.”
The Minister of Magic was going to see if the mysterious figure was going to make another move, which would prove Frank innocent.
“Isn’t this jumping to a conclusion? What if Frank is the mysterious man, but he has clones?”
“The department that Frank leads is important, and Her Majesty needs him. If his crime isn’t proven, he’ll be considered not guilty.” Auston glanced at Wayne. “Don’t look at it as a loss. It’s politics. Her Majesty will compensate the Lando family.”
