"Mistake, a really big mistake, perhaps the biggest mistake of his life," these thoughts couldn''t stop ringing in Edwin''s head as he stared at the now thoroughly blood-bathed kitchen, body parts of soldiers were strewn all around, silvers armors with fist size holes, and even those golden stripped one were also the same.


    Almost everyone who had been alive in this room some minutes ago had been killed, and there was a chance that every soldier who had been in the mansion was dead seeing as the sound of the battle within the room had attracted the presence of the other soldiers.


    Edwin had been ready to face the repercussion of his actions, but he could never have predicted that the massacre that had just taken ce to be a repercussion.


    If he could take it all back, Edwin swore he would, he would have listened to the madman and given him his servings, he wouldn''t have tried to show that he wasn''t a pushover, Edwinmented as he remembered the actions that had led to this current scene.


    ...shback…..


    With Seth''s rude request, everyone was offended, begging to have a bite of him and only waiting for Edwin''s orders.


    "You brazenly entered into Monwac city and assault its soldiers, and then proceeded to also run rampant within my mansion and also assault my guards, exin yourself" Edwin ordered.


    Rather than tantly refusing Seth''s request for food or ordering his soldiers on him, Edwin decided to show a little force, he had scanned the downed men on his way here, and other than broken bones, they were all alive, a sign that Seth desired to keep a rtionship with him.


    This was why Edwin had decided on asking a set of questions, with these questions, Seth could easilye up with an answer, and from there he could negotiate with the man and diffuse the situation.


    Any other person in Seth''s shoes would have understood the man''s intention and taken a step back, but it wasn''t any other person who was there at the moment, it was Seth.


    "Not interested," Seth said as he stood up, his action making the soldiers tense up, but Seth didn''t care about their reactions as he moved from the table, seeking to move past the soldiers and head to the kitchen counter which was still in good order despite the fights that had urred earlier.


    "Stop" one of the captains spoke, taking a step forward and ready to charge Seth at any moment.


    At this point, Edwin knew he had to say something, and he did, but unfortunately, his next words were based on a very wrong assumption.


    Withy Seth not killing any of the guards, Edwin assumed that Seth was scared or wary of retaliation from either the kingdom or from the entirety of Monwac city, and bearing this in mind, he said,


    "Currently you are in Monwac City, and ording to thews you should be arrested immediately for your earlier transgression, Seth quietlye with me and we can get this all sorted out," Edwin said, tentatively trying to get Seth under control.


    After capturing Edwin earlier, Seth had thought he had already beaten the man into submission, but that had been delusional thinking from him, how he could expect amander to sumb so easily.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Seth could more than figure out what will happen if he obeyed Edwin, instead of answering the questions Seth had for him, Edwin would instead begin pestering him with his own questions and asking for exnations, what should have been him easily getting his answers would devolve into a negotiation.


    Seth wasn''t interested in giving long exnations on his reasons, so he decided to fall back to his default solution, the one that always worked.


    His hand tightly holding his sword, Edwin stood upright, his chest puffed up, making sure to show no sign of weakness as he waited for Seth to either listen to him or harshly rebuke him.


    Edwin was already thinking of a number of things he could say if Seth rebuked him, but neither of the things he had thought of happened, what instead greeted him was a bloodbath.


    …shback end......


    No one had attacked him, no one had threatened him, but in the end, the man had begun killing, this scene reminded Edwin of what had happened earlier in the forest, if he had been smarter, he would have learned that Evary Seth was a madman.


    Killing with ease, Seth had killed his way out of the room, deciding to leave the room and meet the remaining enemy instead of waiting for them toe to him, and right now Edwin could hear Seth''s returning footsteps.


    Sitting on the floor with his head bowed, Edwin wished he could just stand up and attack Seth immediately, he didn''t care if he died in the process, all he wanted was to be able to attack Seth, but s, all this was just wishful thinking as right now the only thing keeping him from bleeding to death from his two amputated arms was the qi he had rigorously circting around his stumps.


    Though he was probably going to die, the happy thought that Seth would follow after gave him some calm, after all, he had left the gold-tainted paper with E, and by now an immortal should already be on the way, bound to arrive any minute from now.


    "Don''t do a thing" Edwin whispered, his words meant for the only other surviving person in the room, Dilise.


    When the battle had started, the first Seth had attacked were both of Edwin''s hands, and then the second was Dilise''s stomach, a punch that rendered her unconscious for some time, and even though she regained conciseness, she found her body not properly responding to her for a while, the woman only able to silently watch Seth go about hisst killings and then leave.


    Hearing Edwin''s words, Dilise could only dumbly nod her head, the sound of Seth''s approaching footsteps sending her shivering, and it wasn''t long before Seth''s figure appeared by the door, the man sporting neither a happy nor angry expression, just an annoyed one, like his recent fight, had been nothing but an unnecessary chore.


    Dilise''s body trembled hard as Seth''s eyes passed over her and then moved to Edwin.


    "Follow me or I''ll pull you by the hair," Seth said and began walking back the way he had juste, but he hadn''t taken more than a step when a voice rang out.


    "He''s too injured to move, can I help him," Dilise asked.
