1129 How Do You Know They’re Pests?


    On top of a dusty stone pir, a raven-haired, purple-eyeddy stood, watching two figures below. In thest human city, they carved glowing magic circles into the parched earth, their movements precise and synchronized.


    "How did they figure it out?" she wondered, a glimmer of astonishment in her otherwise calm expression. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    The two''s faces were filled with panic as they engraved the magic circles. It did not go unnoticed by thedy perched on the pir. Maxim engraved thest line of the circle on the ground, finishing which caused it to glow brightly. Within the circle, footsteps appeared out, and this time, they could see someone''s foot along with the steps. From the footwear this person wore, which were a pair of straw sandals, the two men figured out it was a woman. This one clue had significantly narrowed down a lot of suspects.


    Thedy perched on the pir knew about it as well. She wondered whether she should kill these people to keep the information hidden or let them continue on with their investigation. After some thought, she decided on the former. It wasn''t everyday that someone could find her traces. Not to mention, they had some strange ways to not die after touching the magic circle. This was the most fascinating point so far. The two men walked away from the city as they found clues to the person, finally reaching the fortress. Here, they could see the figure of a robust man near a cannon, and this shattered their whole perception of the person being a woman. The robust body of the man was slowly being built from the foot to the head. To their dismay, however, it stopped once the neck was formed. Maxim cursed and kicked the ground. "Right when we were close!"


    Young yellow was frustrated as well and kicked the ground beside Maxim. When the two felt helpless, they decided to take help of the mysterious red-eyed man. The two walked away from the fortress and went to a secluded alley and then inside an unknown door of a random house. Thedy couldn''t watch them from such a distance, hence she shot in the air, then flipped her way down to the same door and walked right in without any fear. As she entered the ce, her vision distorted as if she was suffering through vertigo. Soon, she heard a ding and found herself in a small, dimly-lit room.


    A ck-haired, red-eyed man in a fine suit was seated by a table, calmly sipping tea. There was nothing noteworthy in the room, and the entire focus was on him. "Have a seat." The man said, as if expecting such an oue. Thedy''s interest peaked here. She smiled and took a seat opposite to him, then poured herself a cup of tea. "If I have to be honest, I''m quite impressed with how easily you found me. Even my own n members cannot do it." Thedy said. Lith calmly took a sip of tea and replied, "I''m ttered, youngdy. But to find someone so prideful, it isn''t much work."


    The ability to stay calm in front of an apex predator like her, along with having the confidence to speak so freely was rarely seen. Thedy was getting more and more interested in this now. "So, what do you seek from me? Surely it wasn''t just to have tea, was it?" Thedy sipped on the refreshingvender tea. She had never had such a vor before. Lith put the teacup down and shook his hand. "I am not interested in your beauty. I have wives far prettier than you."


    "Oh?" The tant insult threw the youngdy off guard. She put the teacup down and answered, "You''re quite bold, I have to give you that. But do you know that my nails are sharper than the sharpest object you could ever find? I am suddenly itching to give you a demonstration of it, preferably on your neck."


    Lith was unfazed by the threat. He continued to look at her calmly and asked, "Are you rebelling against your own n?"


    Thedy dropped her threatening aura as she heard that and took a sip of the refreshingvender tea once again. "What if I say yes? And what when I say no?"


    "If yes, the talks will continue. If no, someday you will be killed along with them by my hands." Lith answered honestly.


    "Hoh?" Lith speared right at thedy''s pride once again. "You''re all talk, but I can see that you are nothing but a King Rank. How exactly are you going to kill me? In your dreams?"


    "The future is uncertain. Who may be a carp might one day leap into the dragon gate. Or… who you may be thinking of as a carp…"


    Lith''s eyes flickered. "…may already be a mighty dragon."


    Lith then leaned back on his chair and shook his hand, dismissing the serious atmosphere almost instantly. "It''s all up to yourprehension."


    The man in front was getting more and more interesting as minutes passed on. Did he think of her as a normal person? Could he not see and make out the renowned Asura God n crest on her chest? This crest was only given to a select few and was recognizable to everybody of the Shen Ze star system. Or perhaps, did the man know, yet was still saying all of this because he did not fear death? Was his will to live so broken that death meant nothing to him? Or was he so broken that he was trying to suicide like this? Or perhaps… perhaps this man was autistic and did not know how to respond properly? Given by the way he was speaking with such chuuni tone, the youngdy could not make out which was which. She propped her elbows on the table and leaned her chin on the back of her hand. "Let''s hear what you want from me."


    "Information." Lith said it straight. "My n is to destroy the Asura God n. But my only concern is hurting the innocent ones or the ones who did not deserve it."


    This was such a strange thing to say. Especially to a higher authority from the n like her. By now, the youngdy was starting to think that this man had gone mad. Should she kill him right here and now to eliminate potential threats? Or should she let him do what he wanted?


    To be honest, if she killed him, then there was no way of knowing how her n would fare off against such a crazy man. The n was strong and had the capabilities to protect itself. But what if this man was right and could do as he said he would? Will her n actually fall due to one single person?


    Her curiosity to know this got the better of her. "Why should I answer you? What am I getting in this?" Despite being curious, she was rational and asked the important question. "You''re nning to destroy my home, do you think I''ll let you?"


    "I don''t n to touch your home. I''m removing the pests residing within, for once and forever."


    This statement was ambiguous. Lith meant that he wouldn''t touch the ones that weren''t involved with his grandparents. However, if everyone was involved in that… then yes, he would wipe them all out without any exception. The youngdy could sense something off from it as well. "How do you know they''re pests?"


    "That''s where you''re going toe. You''ll tell me." Lith answered without any hesitation. "…" thedy was baffled. "Do you know what you''re saying?" She asked. "You''re asking me to list you the names of the people you should kill. Do you think I am foolish enough to let my own n members die?"


    "As I said. It''s up to you. They''re going to die either way. You can only help curb the number of innocent ones involved."


    "Who exactly is determined innocent and who''s a pest?"


    "The ones involved with my grandfather are pests. That''s the only thing I''ll tell you." Lith said and took a sip of tea. Thedy frowned. She rubbed her temples and thought, ''So he''s one of those…''


    The n had not killed a small number of innocents. There was a high chance of this person being someone rted to one of those and was out here seeking revenge. Thedy lost all interest temporarily, but then thought that this man had a lot of intelligence and strange ways to do things. Killing him wouldn''t be beneficial as he could serve as a warning to the n and help them understand their shorings and improve. She had no other interest in Lith. She only wanted to see how her own n would fare off when he would go against them. Plus, she would be the one handing him the information, so it would be limited and shouldn''t cause much harm. After some thinking, thedy nodded her head and said, "Alright. I''ll indulge some pieces of information to you."
