Chapter 108: Powerful Being
"Gavriel... You know? I’m so damn relieved now! Xavier won’t be calling me for a few hours. He’s on a plane heading home..." Iris said while gazing out of the window, observing the busy street as people in the city began their morning activities.
Gavriel, who heard Iris’ words, could only shake his head slowly. He knew very well how capable Xavier Darkwood was. That man didn’t need a plane to travel wherever he wanted. He was incredibly powerful and could teleport to any place he desired in the blink of an eye.
So different from him, as he could only teleport a certain distance. That’s why he worked hard to climb the top of the chain. At least he could become an Angel, which would increase his power. But it seemed like he needed extra time to achieve that.
He was sure that by now, Xavier was already in Silenthill or even nearby. It’s just that he couldn’t sense his presence. All he knew was that a powerful being like Xavier would reveal himself if he wanted to.
He could only behave politely toward Iris, not wanting to anger Lord Vampire again, at least for now.
"Sounds good," Gavriel replied calmly, casting a quick glance at Iris. "Now, you can focus on your mission. We might be able to wrap it up more quickly as well. So, you can head home before your boyfriend arrives..."
"Yes, that’s my plan too. I’ll eliminate Dudley Velcoro as soon as possible," Iris said, turning her gaze toward Gavriel.
"But remember, Iris, I can’t directly intervene to assist you. I’m here to answer your questions and provide backup only if your life is in danger," Gavriel reminded her.
As a mentor, Gavriel was prohibited from directly helping Iris; he could only observe and offer assistance if her life was at risk. In this world, sinners were often backed by dark forces such as demons and dark witches—a piece of information he hadn’t yet disclosed to her, as it might frighten her if she knew it now.
