Novel Full Chapter 569 Seraphina is Indeed Clever - II
“Oh, he’s dead. I also took care of that butcher next door.”
Seraphina pulled down her hood, scratching the hair at the back of her head that had grown somewhat, resembling the fine wolf fur on a wolf’s neck. “There’s still plenty to do… Oh, find Cliff for me and tell him to meet me at my place. And—I’m starving, I need to find something to eat first.”
Waving a hand, she left the stunned young man behind and strode into the excessively luxurious mansion in the lower city.
“Eating like this all the time won’t do… I need to find a way to make some money.”
Seraphina would distribute all the money she confiscated from villains to the local civilians, keeping none for herself.
Her travel and food expenses were mostly earned by doing odd jobs and taking on commissions, something she was quite accustomed to by now.
“Should I take on some commissions in the upper city… But if I’m not around, they might be scared, and some might start acting out. What should—”
Walking through the corridor, Seraphina suddenly halted.
It seemed she didn’t hear the greetings from the lower city residents or her current “subordinates” at all. Her eyes were fixed ahead, on a group of people discussing something not far away.
More precisely, the most conspicuous among them—a young man with black hair, dangerous and sinister. Read new chapters at empire
“This guy.”
Seraphina grabbed a passing follower, her voice slightly hoarse. “Who is he? How did you let him in?”
“… Him? Ah, he’s an adventurer from the upper city,” the caught young man quickly answered. “He took on a commission… looking for missing persons. He thinks it might be related to the Speckled Snake’s human trafficking, so he came to us.”
Seeing Seraphina’s increasingly stern expression, the young man grew more apprehensive. “Boss Fenrir, does he… does he have a problem?”
“No, but…”
Seraphina’s eyes were locked onto the black-haired youth, filled with both shock and confusion.
She couldn’t see through him… not even the Head of Wind could probe a single detail about this person.
Since leaving Ansel’s side, this was the first time Seraphina had encountered such an existence.
Logically, meeting such an opponent should have made her heart race with excitement and battle fervor.
But, but… this resistance and coldness in her heart… what was it?
Was it that she didn’t want to fight him… or did she feel she wasn’t his match?
Seraphina found it absurd. While people she couldn’t probe were rare, those who couldn’t ignite her fighting spirit were non-existent.
Even against the Empress, she could muster intense battle fervor… Why did this seemingly familiar stranger evoke no desire to fight at all? Was it some special ability?
After much hesitation, Seraphina approached, closing the distance to the black-haired youth with heightened vigilance.
“Hey, you.”
She stopped about three meters away from him, instinctively clenching her fists, her body tense. “Who are you, and what do you want?”
The black-haired youth slightly tilted his head, his gaze falling on Seraphina.
“So, you’re the one who replaced the Speckled Snake… Miss Fenrir?”
His tone was indifferent, and his relaxed demeanor suggested he didn’t take Seraphina seriously at all.
Such a near-taunting attitude would have usually set Seraphina off, but this time, she felt inexplicably subdued. Holding back her frustration, she said, “Yes, that’s me. So, you—”
“I’m looking for someone,” the black-haired youth interrupted her without the slightest courtesy. “Fifteen years old, brown hair, about 1.61 meters tall, with a birthmark on the neck. Do you have anyone like that here?”
His blunt interruption and the way he spoke, as if he wasn’t asking for help but rather demanding it.
Seraphina’s temper flared instantly, quelling the inexplicable unease. She scoffed coldly, “First, address me respectfully as ‘Big Boss,’ bow, and then politely repeat your question. Only then will I consider answering you.”
The black-haired youth merely raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint twitch at the corner of his mouth, before completely ignoring Seraphina and walking directly towards her.
Though he exerted no overt sense of intimidation, Seraphina grew increasingly tense, the veins on the back of her hand bulging, ready at any moment to land a punch on his face.
But… the enigmatic black-haired youth did nothing. Just as Seraphina was on the brink of demolishing the entire mansion, he nonchalantly brushed past her.
“…”
Miss Wolf blinked, her forehead beaded with sweat, her expression bewildered.
Nothing… happened?
Why was he here? Was he really just looking for a missing person?
Why? Why would someone so powerful waste time on such a small matter?
No, someone this formidable shouldn’t have trouble finding a missing person?
Instinctively, Seraphina turned her head and noticed a frail, ordinary adventurer trailing behind the black-haired youth. This person, in contrast, was entirely transparent to her, an ordinary individual with some peculiar disguise.
Ha… so his follower is an ordinary person?
Seraphina stared suspiciously for a long time. As the black-haired youth’s figure was about to disappear, she suddenly spoke, “Are you truly here to find a missing person?”
Receiving no reply, and seeing him continue walking, Seraphina, more incensed, shouted, “Repeat the description. I’ll see if I can help you find them!”
“No need,” the black-haired youth said leisurely. “He’s not here.”
With that, he vanished around the corner.
“…What the hell?!”
Seraphina’s eye twitched. “He comes here looking for someone, asks for help, and when I’m willing to assist, he says that someone is not here… This guy deserves a beating!”
Seraphina expected to be furious, but after a brief moment of irritation, she felt no further emotion. Realizing this… she found it increasingly bizarre.
That guy was definitely not simple, and there was undoubtedly something deeply wrong with him!
“Totok, what did you talk about with him? Did he mention anything about himself?” Seraphina asked the people who had conversed with the black-haired youth.
“He… he didn’t say much, Sister Fenrir,” one of them answered honestly. “He just said he was looking for someone…”
