Words : 1058 Updated : Sep 17th, 2025

When it was all over, there were only bits and pieces of the red haired young master and his lackeys that were left behind. It wasn't just the red haired young master that had been ripped to pieces like this, it was also his lackeys that had received the same treatment. Their corpses were left the same way to make it seem like they had been killed by the monsters in the dungeon. Of course, it wasn't necessary for them to be taken care of like this. It was possible to kill them simply without any pain at all. But it was better this way since it allowed me to vent a bit of my anger. I didn't want to cause any trouble, but this red haired young master chose to come after me. He even went as far as chasing after me in this dungeon, so it was clear what he wanted to do. As such, I couldn't show mercy to him. Showing mercy to this kind of enemy was just hurting myself. After it was done, we walked over to see what remained of the red haired young master and his lackeys. At the same time, I was planning on collecting the things that they had dropped. It wasn't that I was after the stuff that they had, but rather because I needed it to create an alibi. Even if the magic weapon that the red haired young master had was an enticing item, I knew that it would be too much trouble keeping it for myself. It would be nothing more than a trouble magnet if I were to keep it on my person. After all, it was the best evidence that I had been the one that killed the red haired young master and his lackeys. So instead of keeping it with me, I was planning on giving it to one of the skeletons and releasing it back into the dungeon. If someone killed the skeleton and took the magic sword, then that would be the best proof that the red haired young master was killed in the dungeon. As we stood there, Iris had a strange look on her face. Eventually, she asked, "Was that really the only way to have done it?" It seemed that she had been disturbed with the way that things turned out. It seemed that she wasn't very supportive of the method that I chose to take care of the red haired young master. But even if that was the case… "I did what I had to do. I have no regrets over what I did." I said with a serious look on my face. It wasn't that I was just saying this for her sake. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I was very serious about this. To me, someone that gave me kindness would be repaid and someone that came at me with hostility would receive hostility in return. There was no bending that rule. This was a part of me that I needed her to accept if she wanted to keep following me around, or else there would be conflict in the future. With everything that had happened between us and how it got the Huo Family involved, it was best to make this clear as soon as possible. There was a tense moment of silence that lingered in the air before Iris slowly gave a nod of agreement. It seemed like there was still something that she was struggling with based on the look on her face, but she seemed to also push this down as she agreed with me. I understand how she felt, so I added, "It isn't as if I'll do this every time. As long as they don't go too far, I won't do anything to them." Narrowing my eyes to reveal a cold look, I added, "I won't ever let anyone that comes after my life go." As I said this, I couldn't help thinking of Wang Teng… That was my first time, so it was a memory that would live with me forever. However, it was also the reason why I was so firm in this decision. Iris gave another nod before turning away from the corpses that were on the ground. I didn't say anything else about this as I also turned away. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire I had already picked up the things from the ground, so all that was left was scattering the things that belonged to the red haired young master and his lackeys to the undead that were under my control. I needed to send them off to the different corners of this dungeon. I needed the people that were clearing this dungeon to find the items left behind by the red haired young master and his lackeys to report them in after all. When it was done, I turned back to Wang Rong and Iris to say in a serious voice, "This is a matter that we need to take to our graves. We can never speak of this to another soul." The two of them also had serious looks on their faces as they took one last look at the corpses on the ground. After taking that look, they nodded in agreement. They weren't fools, they knew the trouble that would come with admitting to killing the son of the Tide City's governor. They knew that this wasn't worth whatever fame it would bring. Especially for Iris who had to worry about the prestige of the Huo Family and her own status as a student of the Sacred Academy. Though it was also that she was afraid of implicating Lin Fan. Though this matter did put a bit of a strain on their relationship, it wasn't as if it was enough to change her feelings about the man in front of me. So she would do what she could to keep this secret. Wang Rong just knew that it would be dangerous for all of them to admit this, so he would keep this secret. Once that was done, we headed off towards the next Elite Monster.
