Chapter 109: A last-second intervention
«The famous Hakuto Tendo... what an honor to finally meet you in the flesh,» Raelos sneers, his hateful gaze locked onto Hakuto from the ceiling above.
«I’d love to say the same, but I have no idea who the hell you are,» Hakuto mutters through clenched teeth.
He knows damn well that this incubus didn’t show up for a friendly chat. Right now, all he can do is buy time while figuring out what to do next.
«You’re right, how rude of me... My name is Raelos. I’m the father and master of Ana here—who I believe you know quite well. Lucky for you, I don’t plan to kill you... not yet, at least. Come with us quietly, and I promise I won’t kill more than necessary to fulfill the will of the exalted Cassian Thalukvar.»
~Cassian Thalukvar... yeah, I clearly remember Velune mentioning that name during the interrogations. So that means...~
«Ana! Tell me this isn’t real! You joined that cult of lunatic criminals?! My dad gave up his right arm to save you and your mom from Velshekar’s clutches so you could live the life you dreamed of with her! Not to mention Chantal, who almost lost everything fighting that ogre at Ashiya Rock Garden... What the hell does this all mean now?!» Hakuto snaps, rage boiling in his voice.
But Ana doesn’t reply. She just lowers her cold, blank gaze slightly.
«No point talking to her,» Raelos cuts in. «My beloved daughter belongs to me—body and soul. Right now, not even the words of her precious Soulmate can reach her. I’ll say this one last time, Hakuto Tendo. Come with us quietly, or I’ll drag you by force after I kill those two!» He points at Tony and Lucrezia—his body now healed enough to at least stand upright.
In response, Hakuto fully equips his diamond armor.
A massive sword appears in his hand—blinding white flames erupt from both blade and armor, leaving Tony and Lucrezia speechless.
