............"No... it's nothing. I am going to the washroom for a bit. Take care of Aria, would you!" Aarav stood up, addressing Maya, who nodded in acknowledgment as he left the table."Excuse me, where can I find the washroom?" He approached a waiter, seeking directions."It's right there!" The waiter pointed towards the right corner, leading to a corridor inside the restaurant, near the main cabin."Hey... whoever you are, how dare you try to disturb my dear sister from having a nice, quiet dinner!" Aarav's smiling expression turned frosty as he approached the main cabin, muttering his dissatisfaction and clenching his fists tightly.A while ago, when he was eating, his Divine Energy reacted, reminding him of injured patients at Astraia Hospital.He sensed impure energy behind the door in the main cabin, disturbing his enjoyable dinner with his sister.Frustrated, he heard a "Creek..!" and thought it was from there. Aarav, annoyed by the disturbance, arrived at the main cabin."H
............"Cough... cough, that was dirty...!" Aarav struggled to stand, wheezing for breath before managing to compose himself.Turning his gaze toward the two men, Aarav was met with an unsettling sight.Their faces, now visible, bore half-hidden tattoos of unknown scribbles, giving them an ominous and cult-like aura.The robes beneath concealed black cloaks, the duo exuded an otherworldly presence. Their cultist-like attire, combined with the mysterious symbols and jewels, sent shivers down Aarav's spine."Swiish...!""Hmmm, I don't think this fool would answer our question, but still, I am going to ask. Who are you? You don't look like any ordinary trash we've come across until now!" Like a ghost, one man materialized right in front of Aarav. In a mere blink, the man stood inches away, his unsettling presence sending shivers down Aarav's spine.Hearing the man's words and observing his cold, detached face, Aarav couldn't shake the feeling that these two were more than just or
............"What the hell was that...!" Just then, Obsidian heard the voice, making him jump from where he stood.A fearful expression appeared on his face as he looked at the place where he used his trump card, wide-eyed."You... you... how are you alive? How can you escape the Holy Judgment? No one should be able to live after being engulfed in Holy light!" Obsidian's fingers and his whole body shook as he pointed his quivering finger at Aarav, who was sitting there without any scratch other than his previous injuries, which were also recovering at a fast pace."Holy what... Is that supposed to finish me off? What kind of bullshit is this...!" Aarav's voice echoed with disdain as he slowly rose to his feet, his body showing signs of recovery."It's impossible; you can't... no... no!" Obsidian Whisper's denial was etched across his face, unable to believe the unfolding events."But seriously, whatever shit you did made me recover quickly," Aarav muttered with genuine surprise, nev
............"Lumara Family, Everglen Family, Starcrest Family, Moonshroud Family, and Chauhan Family, these families are the five great families that control both the supernatural and non-supernatural sides of the world," Obsidian Whisper explained.Hearing this, Aarav mentally noted these influential families."Oh, right. Which side is trying to get rid of me, or the Heir of Elandor?" Aarav's face suddenly turned frosty as he asked a question that had been bothering him."What... how did you come up with that idea, Lord Heir!" Obsidian Whisper shivered and lowered his gaze, feeling the pressure emanating from Aarav. Until now, Aarav's pressure had felt light due to his exhausted Divine Energy, but now that he had recovered, the pressure slammed into Obsidian Whisper, making him immobile."You see, I'm not an idiot. I've guessed from the clues I've noticed. It would be good if you came clean and spilled everything. Otherwise, you should know about the skills the Heir possesses. It
............"By the way, what's going on there, why is a crowd gathering around!" Maya noticed the commotion and, feeling curious, asked Aarav."Hmmm, maybe something happened with a customer or staff!" Aarav replied, glancing at the crowd. Even though he knew the real reason, he decided not to reveal anything about the secret organization matter."Hmmm, shouldn't we see what's going on, maybe you can help them!" Maya suggested, wondering what could be happening. She thought if someone was having health problems, Aarav could assist."Nah, we better not get involved in others' matters, lest we get in trouble." Aarav shook his head, advising against meddling. He was cautious, fearing they might get into unwanted complications."Ahhh, you are right, Mr. Veridian. I am sorry for suggesting something that might get us in trouble!" Maya understood Aarav's concerns and apologized, realizing she might have been irrational about it.After a while later,"So, how was it? Did you enjoy it?" Ma
............"Click...!""What... What's this for!" Aarav looked at his cuffed hand, taken aback by the handcuff, while the other end was in Aeliana's hand. Bewildered, he couldn't help but ask in a surprised expression."Aeliana, please, do you have a misunderstanding with Mr. Veridian," Maya was surprised by her action as she spoke in Aarav's defense."Huh, what do you mean misunderstanding? This rascal escaped from my police station last time. Humph... let's see how you escape this time!" Aeliana snorted at Aarav upon hearing Maya's words."Please, Miss, I already explained to other officers about the misunderstandings. If you don't believe me, you can confirm with them." Aarav said with a helpless smile."No way, you must have tricked them. How can what I saw that day be misunderstood by me? Do you think I am making it up or something!" Aeliana looked at him with a cold stare, growing angry at him for attempting to evade her once again."No... no, I never said that you're making
............"Hahahaha!"Both Maya and Aarav laughed at Aria's innocent comment.After half an hour, Maya dropped Aarav and Aria off at their house."Thank you, Ms. Maya, for today. We really had a great time!" Aarav expressed his gratitude. Maya not only guided them during their shopping spree but also treated them to a delightful dinner."Thank you, Big Sister!" Aria chimed in with a big, appreciative smile."Haha! No problem, Little Aria. You've got my contact number, so call me whenever you're feeling bored and want to have some fun, okay!" Maya chuckled, feeling a genuine warmth for Aria. Finding her lovable, Maya decided to spoil her a bit, especially since Aarav had given his permission."Take care, see you later!" Aarav and Aria waved at Maya, who left, waving back at them.Meanwhile, at the restaurant,"This is... I'm definitely feeling divinity here!" Aeliana Chauhan stood amidst the remnants of the main cabin, where Aarav had fiercely battled and killed the two self-proc
............"Scream, and repent in hell, you filthy sinners!" The reapers bellowed, their faces hidden in the shadows, intensifying the terror."Ahhhh...Slaaash...Splashhh...!" Each swing of the sickles painted the night with dread, the metallic sounds echoing in the darkness, accompanied by agonized cries of the men.The reapers moved like silent specters, their movements leaving a trail of fear and chaos in their wake."Please! Spare us!" begged one of the choker-clad men, but his desperate plea was futile, drowned out by the dreaded screams of death."What's going on? It's scary here; let's get out of here!" A boy and a girl passing by heard the terrifying screams piercing the air.Although they found nothing visible in the street, an unsettling feeling urged them to quickly leave from there.The once-silent neighborhood now echoed with blood and dreaded screams, causing people passing by or living there to hastily flee to their houses. No one dared to go out that night......N
