"Angel, is it possible to remove the restrictions on our power now?" Luke asked suddenly
"...." Lisa Aslan, Noelle, and Loe waited for the angel's reply with hopeful expressionut they forgot one important detail, which is that the Angels does not answer questions, and so on, as expected, no matter how much they waited the angel didn't give them any reply, which left them at a loss as to why the angel did not remove these restrictions, despite the seriousness of thituation.
(Have they already forgotten that they're suspects as well? ) Fray thought as he looked at the lost expressions of Luke and his group. Before he turned around and headed toward the place where the first ritual sacrifice was taking place.
After taking the order from Fray, Casper led the group and headed southwest, where the third sacrifice is located.
(He's talented, strong, and courteous despite his young age. He would be a great addition to the SHIELD UNION.) Luke thought with an interested expression as he looked at the back of Casper who was ahead of them.
And so, with these thoughts in his mind, Luke's footsteps accelerated until he reached Casper who was originally walking in front of him.
(Huh! Is he smiling?) Luke thought after seeing Casper's face. It seemed that the respectful and calm expression that Casper had just before in the presence of Fray had completely disappeared and in his place appeared a crazy excited expression with a twisted smile, something that Luke found strange, but nevertheless, he decided to complete his plan and said, "Hi"
"..." After hearing Luke's greeting, Casper turned around to look in his direction while the smile on his face became a little faded, but he quickly ignored Luke's presence and decided to not answer him.
Seeing Casper's indifference for himself, Luke's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, but still he decided to continue, "You seem confident that we'll be able to find the sacrifice's location before the thirty minutes are up."
"Yes," Casper answered briefly, without looking at Luke.
In fact, the place of the third sacrifice was mentioned in the novel, although it did not mention the exact location, and it was almost impossible to find it quickly with the description from the novel alone. Now that Casper had the approximate location of that place mentioned in the novel, it was not difficult for him to find the place mentioned in the novel in a short period of time, as Fray had already told Casper about the description mentioned in the novel.
"You don't seem to like me very much, Mr. Casper." Luke said after seeing how indifferent Casper treated him.
Suddenly, after hearing Luke's words, the smile completely disappeared from Casper's face, and his expression became fierce and angry before he said in a cold voice, "I can't tell if you are brave or just an idiot. Do you really think that you can start a casual conversation with members of the Prada family despite all that you have done against the head of the family? I actually don't understand why the Master hasn't killed you yet?"
Surprised, angry, uncomfortable, and remorse, are all feelings that attacked Luke at once after hearing Casper's harsh words, but Luke quickly managed to control himself and said, "I just did what I thought was right and I don't regret it."
"Well, You will," Casper said coldly, before ignoring Luke's presence again.
...
"Luke seems to have liked the talent of that guy," said Lisa, looking at Luke and Casper, who was walking at the front of the group.
"Even in this situation, he still couldn't hide his passion for talented people," said Aslan, who was walking beside Lisa, looking at Luke's back with a small smile on her face.
"I just hope Luke doesn't exaggerate, after all, that man is a Prada family member," said Lisa
"Speaking of the Prada family, Lisa, can you tell me why the Prada family is acting so strange recently?" Aslan asked with a curious expression
"Sorry, Aslan. You know that I can't reveal any secrets about the ancient families, even to you," Lisa said with a mild expression.
"I know but can you at least tell me if they are planning for something dangerous or not?" Aslan asked with a bemused expression.
After hearing Aslan's soft voice and big eyes, Lisa couldn't help but sigh and say, "Actually, you may not know that, but for some strange reason, all the spies, planted by the various large forces in the Prada family, disappeared without a trace not long ago, and now it's almost impossible to know the Prada family's movements or goals. Even our family doesn't know exactly what the Prada family is planning."
"What? All the spies disappeared, how is this possible?" Aslan asked in surprisn fact, all major families without exception suffer from spies in their servants and troops, and it is almost impossible to get rid of these spies because of their abundance and perfected skills. It is well known that spies are the biggest weakness of any great family, and having a family without this weakness never heard of before.
"No, one knows exactly how it happened, but I think Fray is responsible," said Lisa in a convinced voice, remembering all the strange things she had seen Fray do in recent times.
"Fray! Why do you think that?" Aslan
"I'm sure you felt it too, but Fray has changed a lot in the time we didn't see him. I don't know exactly what is it, but something big must have happened to him in that period," said Lisa in a confident voice.
"Fray!…" Aslan muttered in a complex voice as a certain memory came to her mind
*****
In the back garden of a stately mansion.
Slaitrike
"This is what you get for befriending that monster," a twelve-year-old boy yelled at the little black-haired girl who was lying on the ground covered in wounds before he raised his hands in the air and hit the little girl again.
"Didn't we tell you before not to become a friend with him, why didn't you listen to us?" said another little girl in an angry voice before also hitting the little girl kneeling on the grounloiive young children in formal clothes continued to beat the poor girl with heavy blows while the little girl continued to bow her head in a desperate attempt to protect her face.
"Ah, ah…" The little girl on the ground cried out in a pained voice, with tears covering her face.
"Haha, yes, this is your fault, do not blame us..." The child said while hitting the little girl, but suddenly and without warning he felt a strong blow hitting his back, which sent him flying
"What?…" After seeing that, the kids stopped hitting the little girl and turned around to see what that
"..." The little girl also slowly raised her head to see what was going on, and there in front of her was a little boy of ten, perhaps eleven, with black hair and a strong physique for his age, dressed in formal clothes, looking at the children who were beating her with a cold expression, as soon as she saw the appearance of this boy, a strange glow flashed in the little girl's eyes, and she automatically spread a soft smile on her face.
"It's the monster…" One of the children suddenly cried out in fear after seeing the boy's appearance.
"I heard he kills anyone who angers him, let's run…" cried the little girl.
After seeing the sudden appearance of the child nicknamed the monster, all the children started screaming before running away in different directions with terrified expressions.
Thus, after the children ran away, the boy with the cold expression turned around and started to go back.
"Wait…" The girl barely got up from the ground then said while wiping the tears from her eyeut even though the boy heard the girl's request, he continued to walk without stopping to hear what she wanted to say, but that did not stop the little girl
"I will not give up, I will be your friend no matter what." The girl shouted as she looked at the back of the child.
After hearing the girl's scream and her stern tone, the boy paused for a while, then after a short period of silence, he said in a low voice without turning around, "Do whatever you want, but I won't help you again." Then continued on his way.
The little girl's smile got bigger and she said in a happy voice, "Okay," before running quickly to catch up with the boy and walk beside him.
