Chapter 529 - 527:Dead.

Chapter 529: Chapter 527:Dead.

"Haaa... and there goes my soft body pillow." I sighed for the nth time as I watched the blue-gold cocoon of light get taken into one of the many rooms of the Absolute Mansion, melancholy washing over me.

"You know, I would’ve been really jealous and pissed if I weren’t impressed by that girl just now." Aunt V’s indifferent voice came from behind me as the woman tried to stifle her mounting anger by ferociously patting Lucien’s head.

"Heh! And I would’ve loved to see you lose your cool. Maybe we would’ve finally finished what we started earlier."

"Careful what you wish for, Dante..."

"Mom... Mommy Raven... Lucien... air..."

"Ahh! My baby!! Sorry... Mommy is so sorry..."

Now it was my turn to be jealous as I watched Lucien get pelted with apology kisses.

"Tch!" I clicked my tongue, turning around before I lost my own cool.

"Shulvan," I called out as my body slowly disappeared from within the mansion hall, "bring her to me."

"As you wish, Master."

...

...

"Finally... time to get to some work," I muttered gently as I focused on the woman currently kneeling before me, her mouth sealed shut.

I had brought us to the imperial hall where the last meeting with Wu Zhen had taken place. Myself, Leo, and Shulvan were staring down at the white-haired woman beneath us.

"You think she’ll talk if we ask nicely?" I asked, amusement dancing at the edges of my lips.

"Master, she will talk. Just allow me."

"No, Shulvan, I don’t think I will. I don’t need you killing the woman off before we get anything useful out of her." I shut down that idea before it could even take root.

"Then how about letting me have a go? I’ve got something new I wanted to try," Leo volunteered, but—

"I’d prefer Shulvan to your twisted ass any day of the week. And why do you always have something new to try out?"

"What can I say? I like experimenting with things."

"Well, experiment somewhere else." I waved away the sick griffon as I decided to do this the old-fashioned way.

"Hello there, pretty lady," I began, relying on good looks and beautiful charm.

"Ughh... not this shit again." I ignored the chicken-cat, fully committed to my work, but then—

WENG!!!

The brilliant flash of multiple lights alerted me to the presence of Malachi, Paku, and Xuan.

Truthfully, they had gone on a massacre, as the smell of blood coming off them was thick enough to turn the room crimson.

"Damn! Did you guys exterminate whole lineages?" I asked, shocked.

"Whole lineages. Whole worlds at some points. It was exhilarating!!" Paku exclaimed.

"Oi!! You can’t go around destroying worlds I’d so painstakingly acquired, you bastard!"

"Don’t worry, they were dead planets. Most of them, at least."

"Most?"

"Soooo... what are you doing here?" The furball tried to divert the attention. He was lucky it worked.

"I was about to get some information from the hostage we took."

"Oh! She’s willing to talk?"

"Not yet, but soon. Just let me work my magic." I slapped my cheeks, turned on my smile, and prepared to get to work once again.

"Forgive the distraction, pretty lady. As I was saying, we seemed to have gotten off on the wrong foot—" Signaling Shulvan lightly, the man finally let her go, his aura withdrawing as she shook free with a sharp gasp.

"Haa... Haa... Haa..." Her breath came in sharp, short bursts as she tried to pull in as much air into her lungs as possible.

"You... you... what... what are you?" she asked, clearly horrified by the things she’d seen. "Something like you shouldn’t be possible."

Crack!!

The sharp sound of something breaking thundered through the room as Shulvan smacked the woman down to her knees with a precise chop to her shoulders.

"You speak to Master on your knees. Know your place, you filthy worm."

"Oi! Shulvan! You don’t treat a lady that roughly. What’s wrong with you?" I chastised softly.

"I apologize, Master."

"Nuh-uh! I agree with him this time. Bitches should be treated as roughly as possible." Paku just had to butt in.

"I’m telling you guys, this furball here hates women." Malachi gave the furball a disdainful look.

"Oi monkey! I’m just being practical. If she’s talking to Dante, she should kneel."

"If that’s the logic, you should kneel when talking, too."

"Bullshit!"

"See?"

"Motherfucker! Want to fight?"

"You never seem to get enough embarrassment, do you?"

At this moment, I wished Nyssara were here so I could show her. The frustration of these two had nothing to do with me forcing them into anything; they just genuinely loved getting at each other’s throats.

"Alright. Alright. Enough. No fighting, let’s just get this over with." I sighed, tired of the entire fiasco as I turned toward the groaning woman, scratching my head. "Look, lady, I just need you to—"

My words were cut short as I saw the woman’s eyes widening in sheer horror as an arm pierced right through her back, exiting through her chest her mouth opening as,

Blerghhh...

She puked out copious amounts of blood.

"Dante... trying to flirt with such a thing while I just came out from slumber? Are you truly so reckless with the lives of people?" Aunt V’s demonically seductive voice sent a shiver of excitement up my spine as the woman appeared like a ghost behind the white-haired captive, her arm firmly lodged within the white-haired woman’s chest.

"Aunt V, my love, I assure you, I wasn’t flirting," I smiled, not one bit bothered by her murderous intent. "I was just trying to get some information."

"Liar. Sana knows the location of every major power within Prime. If you needed to go somewhere, you would."

"I assure you, she doesn’t. She was weakened all this while, remember?"

"Actually, I do know the location of the Eruvine family—the bearers of the true Lifetree bloodline, or servants of the Lifetree as they’re better known."

"Ehh?"

I wasn’t even given enough time to process the sharp betrayal from Sana before—

RIIIIIPPPPP!!!!

The sound of tearing flesh filled the room as Aunt V tore the white-haired woman into two, organs and everything spilling over the floor in a gory mess.

"Don’t play those games with me, Dante. They won’t end well."

"Damn... so sexy." I couldn’t help thinking as I took in her current appearance.

All murderous with Lucien on her head? She looked like the perfect sugar mommy indeed.

I opened my arms, intent on getting some sugar myself when, like a ghost from the past—

"YAYYYYY!!!!! MOMMY RAVEN FUCKED UP BAD WOMAN!!!!!"

Boom!!!

The literal sound of my life flashing before my eyes echoed through my ears as I could feel the air get sucked cleanly out of the room.

My body froze, dread and disbelief coloring my face as I turned, hoping my ears were deceiving me, yet the pale faces of Salazar, Malachi, Leo, Paku and even Xuan who hadn’t been guilty, clearly said otherwise.

"Lu... Lucien... what did you just say?" Aunt V sounded shocked, disbelieving of what she’d just heard.

I prayed. I didn’t care which outer-source manifestation or chaos being was listening, but, "Please let this kid not—"

"Mommy Raven? Lucien said you fucked up bad woman." The kid tilted his head in such a cute manner, all the while saying things that were about to cut my life short.

"Ho... Ho... who... what?" Aunt V seemed shocked, her body trembling as she looked at the edge of collapse from the realization that her innocent baby was saying ’fuck’.

"Mommy Raven? You okay?"

"Hoo... hoo.. tell me.. Lucien, who... who..."

"Big brother and the others!"

BOOOOM!!!!

There was that sound again!

"They taught Lucien lots of new words."

CRACK!!

I didn’t know what snapped or broke, but I knew one thing for sure.

"Dear Mother Chaos, your son is returning to your wonderful embrace soon."
