Chapter 197: Calm Before the Storm

Vahn saw the expressions of the gods and goddesses, as well as the various expressions of everyone else around.

Chapter 196: Reunion Above Ground

As Vahn was making his way back towards the surface, it wasn’t long before he came across a group of people that were slowly making their way through the escape tunnels. Since the majority of people weren’t adept at detecting and dealing with traps, it meant they weren’t able to clear the path quickly. Seeing who was in the group, …

Chapter 195: Light : Dark

Hearing Vahn’s words, Chloe just shook her head slowly as she put away her daggers. While keeping eye contact with Vahn, she said plainly, “I’ll explain in more detail later, but assassination is actually my profession. Are you surprised?” As she asked, Chloe tilted her head playfully but Vahn could see her aura fluctuate slightly. Though she was acting casually, …

Chapter 194: Laverna (2/2)

As the goddess was dangling the ‘antidote’ in front of him, Vahn was just staring at her coldly as he got a better look at who he believed to be the mastermind behind the events that had transpired.

Chapter 192: Remembering What’s Important

After clearing her mind, Milan noticed that Vahn was cradling her gently in his arms as he stared at her face with clear concern in his expression.

Chapter 191: Despair : Hope

(A/N: Disclaimer: Serious Trigger Warning. This scene is not pleasant to write, and I imagine it will not be pleasant to read as well. However, I’m not fond of shying away from uncomfortable topics since it helps build the character and plot. If you know anything about how cruel people/criminals can be, you’ll understand that this situation, though disturbing, it …

Chapter 190: Tracking

Vahn awakened in the orb and Eva tried to land on top of him as she had done many times in the past. The moment she tried kissing him, she realized that something was wrong since Vahn wasn’t reciprocating as usual. Sitting on his stomach, she looked down and saw the unveiled hatred in his face. For a brief moment, …

Chapter 189: Ambush

Unaware that they had been noticed, the presences in the surrounding area remained hidden even after Vahn entered a combat state. Vahn turned his head and saw two men behind him as a group of three appeared at the opposite end of the alley. Seeing their predatory eyes and attempts to appear intimidating, Vahn had no illusions that the men …

Chapter 188: Group Date (2/2)

Not long later, Tiona actually came out of the changing room while Ais and Lefiya were still busying themselves with changing into their swimsuits.
