Chapter 150: Skimming Through the Floors (I)


    Arriving on the third floor, Zen did his usual tactic. Working smart and not working hard.


    Having his army of shadow goblins and a group of worker slimes, Zen was strolling through thebyrinth like it was a romantic date.


    "Woah, look at those cobwebs with that spider trapping that insect," Zen eximed loudly as he pointed at the ceiling.


    "You''re disgusting, Zen," Le Dragoon nced at that scene and pouted slightly.


    Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon showed barely any reaction as she found them to be childish. Unlike Zen who would let others do his work, she prefers to do everything herself.


    "Can''t you do some investigation yourself while the slimes and goblins are busy clearing the floor for you?" Krista Dragoon asked as she felt ufortable doing nothing.


    Zen smiled bitterly at her reaction and went to hug her by the waist, whispering softly, "There''s no point in investigating anymore. It''s clear as day that the creator or most precisely, the demon lord refused to let us find any clues."


    And continued, "I only got some ancient texts before but it''ll take a long time to decipher so why not use this time to rx our mind instead of thinking about somethingplicated."


    "More like you''re justzy," Krista Dragoon snorted as she tried to struggle free from his grasp. However, it was clear that she didn''t even bother using any strength as Zen continued to embrace her.


    After their intense session of kiss and his intention being clear as day, she has already given up resisting against him.


    "What do you think the Scarlet family gets out of this for making enemies of every family?" Krista Dragoon diverted the topic and stared at Zen in his perspective.


    "Most likely the Scarlet family has already been controlled by the mastermind of this whole plot. Based on Juliet''s weird behavior when I entered the auction house, they were nning on this for a long time." Zen thought for a while and said before continuing.


    "I was just an unfortunate man who came in here with a pure mindset of getting some items. Sigh, life is truly difficult as I almost lost my life when all I wanted to do was to try and spend some money."


    Krista Dragoon held a gawking expression on his shameless and scoundrel behavior. ''Almost lost your life? I''m afraid it''s the opposite when you cripple Daemon Kaiso''s son in a public area without caring about the consequences.''


    "Wait a minute, where did you hide Jared Kaiso?" Krista Dragoon suddenly said when she recalled Daemon Kaiso was unable to find his son anywhere.


    She has also sent someone to investigate the situation and from the report of her subordinates, they had said Zen left the Pce Moon Restaurant alone with Ang and Jared Kaiso was nowhere to be found.


    "Oh, uhh Jared Kaiso?" Zen tilted his head in confusion as he tried to remember who Jared Kaiso was again.


    Too many things have happened so far and his memories of irrelevant people have slowly disappeared in his mind.


    "Jared Kaiso, the son of Daemon Kaiso. The one where you order his own servant to cripple his manhood, causing a bloody scene in the restaurant." Krista Dragoon informed him with a disbelief expression.


    How can he forget about someone who he held a grudge against?


    It was rumored that Jared Kaiso has malicious intent on Ang so that was why Zen cripple him to the core. There was also another rumor that their coincidences were set up by Zen to trap him.


    Meanwhile, Zen finally recalled the idiot andughed heartily. "Oh, that Jared Kaiso. Sorry, I kinda forgot about this dumbass who tried to steal my woman."


    And he continued, "Regarding his whereabouts, let''s just say he''s in a really good ce where he is being treated like royalty."


    Krista Dragoon widens her eyes in shock when she realizes Zen may have an alternate dimension or secret ce to hide Jared Kaiso where even her subordinates or Daemon Kaiso''s influence could find his location.


    "So you''re nning on keeping his location a secret to me as well huh." Krista Dragoon said depressingly, causing Zen to shudder at her performance.


    ''Woman, if you are born on Earth then all those actresses are put into shame whenpared to you.''


    Zen couldn''t help but praise her acting that almost fools him every single time.


    "Well, we have only kissed so far and it''s not even enough for us to expose our secret to each other right," Zen said and continued.


    "However, it''ll be a different story if you asked my secret when we''re both naked on the bed where youy in my chest as I grope your breast."


    "Dream on scoundrel!"


    "Exactly my response when you want to pry for information regarding Jared Kaiso."


    "Y-You," Krista Dragoon became enraged and left him alone to look somewhere else.


    Meanwhile, Zen heaved a helpless sigh on the swift attitude of women once again. Unable to hug Krista Dragoon anymore, Zen turned his attention to Le Dragoon instead.


    "Come here Le," Zen beckoned Le Dragoon toe towards him.


    Le Dragoon gave a bright smile before sticking her tongue out and said, "Hmph, I''m not some second-hand option where I need your embrace when you get rejected by Sister Krista."


    Afterward, Le Dragoon ran forward to hug Krista Dragoon''s arm, leaving Zen all alone by himself.


    Zen was rendered speechless by these two princesses but decided to chase after them since Romu has just informed him that they have sessfully cleared the 3rd floor.


    At this point, thebyrinth has bepletely pointless for Zen as every monster that appeared was devastated by his shadow goblins and worker slimes.


    Worse, they also turned into shadows when they died, erging his army further. However, it wasn''t always a guaranteed sess as Zen failed multiple timespared to the number of shadows he managed to resurrect.


    ''Hmm, although I can''t guarantee 100 percent sess, at least I can tell my proficiency in Hymn of Death is slowly improving.'' Zen said inwardly as he arrived at the next staircase to the 4th floor.
