Chapter 429 - I'm fucked, aren't I? (Patreon)

When the bedroom door was opened, my eyes immediately turned toward it. The dark room was illuminated, and I could see the silhouette of someone. “Luan?” The man looked extremely surprised.

Our eyes met, and the man took a step back. “Urgh!” He let out a groan; he was clearly afraid. Then, he ran out of the room while shouting, probably to warn his companions.

I looked at Bella, whose eyes were filled with tears, and said, “Don’t leave this room. I’ll take care of this quickly.”

However, before I could leave the room, Bella grabbed my hand and said, “Luan, please don’t kill them. If you kill them, you’ll get into trouble. The Ganesha Family won’t ignore this.”

“Don’t worry. I don’t need to kill them to deal with them.” I smiled.

However, I have to admit… I really wanted to rip the heads off everyone who had caused this to Bella. So I walked toward the exit of the room, toward the light. As soon as I entered the next room, I was suddenly attacked.

But the attack came toward me in slow motion.

It was an arrow.

I caught the arrow in midair and broke it in my hand. I quickly analyzed my surroundings. ‘Five people.’ Two were in the room, and three were hiding in the room next door. The man who had shot the arrow was the same one who had entered the room where Bella was.

He was terrified.

He pointed his bow at me again and tried to shoot me, but I caught the arrow in midair and then threw it back at him with my bare hand.

“ARGGH! WHAT THE HELL!” he screamed.

The arrow I threw pierced his leg and lodged itself into the wooden wall of the house. He dropped to his knees, groaning in pain. The other person in the room, a woman wearing a mask, was trembling.

The hand holding her sword was shaking violently.

I looked through the holes in her mask and smiled.

The woman took a step back and then did something I didn’t expect.

“Please, don’t kill me!” She dropped her sword on the floor and knelt down, placing her forehead against the ground. “Please, forgive me. I didn’t want to do this. They promised me a large amount of money. I’m not behind this.”

The woman’s voice was trembling.

I walked toward her and said, “Raise your head.”

As soon as she raised her head, I removed her mask and looked into her eyes. Black eyes like two pieces of coal, and a beautiful face. She was very young; she didn’t look more than nineteen years old.

“Who is behind this?”

“Lina. Her name is Lina. She’s part of a small Family, and she promised me that this plan would work. She said you weren’t strong and that she would give me money in exchange for the safety of that artist.”

“I see. When did you kidnap Bella? Who did it?”

“I did. I was the one who did it.” The woman lowered her head, her eyes filled with tears. “A few hours ago. I waited for the two of you to separate.”

“That’s why I felt something strange. You were there the entire time. And you, which Family are you a part of?”

“I’m also part of a small Family. They have nothing to do with this.”

“I see, I see.” I sighed. “The woman named Lina who came up with this stupid plan, is she in that room?”

“Yes…” the woman murmured.

“I see. And that man?” I looked at the man, and his face turned pale.

“Please, I’ll do anything. Just don’t kill me. I’ll also tell you everything I know!”

“I’m not going to kill either of you, but I can’t say the same about those rats who are trying to escape.” My detection ability was active, and I could sense the three people who had been hiding leaving the house.

“You, stay here. If you leave, I’ll find you and rip both your arms off.” I said to the woman, and she nodded.

I looked at the man, and he said, “I won’t leave either, don’t worry. I’ll obey.”

“Good.”

Then I returned to the room where Bella was and said, “I’m going to teleport you to my room. I need to go after the woman behind all of this, and I can’t leave you here.”

Bella nodded, and shortly after I took her to my room, I returned to the house, but this time, I appeared on the roof.

I activated my detection ability and began teleporting around, searching for the three rats who had escaped. Fortunately, I knew their “presence,” so it didn’t take long to find them.

I appeared in the middle of an alley, blocking the three of them.

Two women and one man.

The woman in the center had a muscular build and was tall. She was also wearing a mask. The other two people weren’t wearing masks. They had ordinary appearances that didn’t attract attention.

When they saw me, all three froze.

The masked woman seemed calm, while the other two immediately began to tremble.

“Lina, right? I’ve heard that name before. Not too long ago.”

The masked woman laughed and said, “You have a good memory.”

“I’m a writer, after all. I need to have a good memory.”

The woman removed her mask, and I finally got to see her face. Just as I had imagined, she was the same woman who had spoken to Bella and me while we were having dinner together. A muscular body, but a cute and beautiful face.

“Why did you do this?” I asked, wiping the smile off my face.

“Well… I needed the money. I thought it would be easy to take some money from you.”

“Are you an idiot? Don’t you know I’m a high-level adventurer?”

“I thought you were, at most, a Level Three, but I was wrong, wasn’t I?”

“Yes, very wrong.” I smiled. “So, what are we going to do now? It might not look like it, but I’m really pissed off, you know?”

The coldness in my voice made the woman take a step back.

She smiled and said,

“I’m fucked, aren’t I?”

“Yes, definitely.”
