Chapter 125: Come at Me
Come at Me
The walk back was silent for the most part.
The group kept a sizeable distance from Han Jiwon as they followed him. Han Jiwon also kept sneaking glances back at them. Or Eleanor, to be specific.
He’d dreamed of this day for so long, spent nights imagining the day Eleanor would finally give herself to him. He’d never imagined it happening in the way it did, but that didn’t matter. He’d gotten what he wanted.
He just had to make a deal with a potentially Citadel-destroying entity.
Speaking of, he felt the pleasure from the Abyssal Scrounger at his successful mission. However, he could feel it urge him to be cautious in case this was a trap.
A sentiment Han Jiwon didn’t share. They were barely keeping themselves from being affected by the corrupt Mana. And that’s those who could. That last person who looked to be from the Obsidian Tamer Hall was barely standing, and the triplets were also not doing too good.
They could hardly keep themselves from succumbing to the Mana. Talk less of being a threat.
’And they did a good job restraining him.’ He smiled darkly as he looked at Osho who was being dragged unceremoniously by his collar by Kurt, with Gale being levitated off the ground by Sugil using the crystal that encased him.
Seeing the proud bastard be dragged like a measly extra, and by his own ’friends’ at that, just made it all the more delicious.
He was vaguely aware that doing all of this would probably result in him being hunted down. But the Scrounger had assured him it would allow him to escape such a fate.
They made sure to keep their pace swift, though, that Nicolas guy was slowing them down quite a bit. It was annoying Han Jiwon, and he had half the heart to end him then and there, but he knew he was already treading on thin ice.
