The Dark King â Chapter 475
Neuss whispered after Hawkeye left: âMaster, what do I need to do?â
âFirstly, change the way you address me. Iâm not master but elder.â Dean leaned against the chair: âYou donât need to do anything. Iâll make sure that you reach the constitution of senior hunter as soon as possible. You have used the magic marks of the âswallowerâ so you will test my meals and drinks in the future. Donât forget not to expose your magic marks in front of others or they will think of more vicious ways to poison me.â
Neuss replied: âI know, elder.â
Dean nodded. The main reason for him to bring Neuss was his magic marks. After all, he was confident that he wouldnât lose to anyone in the outer wall in terms of strength. However no one would be silly enough to fight him face to face. Many strong people often die in the hands of the villainsâŠ
Half an hour passed.
Hawkeye carried a youth whose body was full of scars into Deanâs office. He threw the youth onto the carpet and reported to Dean: âElder, this messenger is the traitor!â
Dean raised his eyebrows as he looked at the youth. He had gone through brutal torture. It seemed that his hands were smeared with something and the skin was brownish. Dean couldnât see the teeth in his mouth.
âYou have found the ghost.â Dean glanced at Hawkeye.
Hawkeyeâs heart jumped when his eyes connected with Deanâs. He thought that all the secrets in his heart were seen through.
Dean was letting Hawkeye know that he wasnât fooled by him. However he wasnât intending to break down the show: âWhy did you betray me?â
The youthâs body trembled but he couldnât speak. He said few vague words: âI-I⊠wrongâŠelderâŠlife.â
Dean looked at HAwkeye: âYou have made so that I canât get reply to anything. What should I do?â
Hawkeyeâs face turned pale: âElder, please punish me.â
Dean waved: âWho is this man? Who he used to be?â
Hawkeye said in haste: âElder, he is just a messenger we use as a courier. He has no patrons. His father was a knight of our dark church but died in battle with the Holy Church. His mother died long time ago. He has no father, mother or relatives.â
Dean sneered: âNo patrons, no relatives⊠How can he become a messenger?â
Hawkeye couldnât answer.
âIs it that you donât want to say or you couldnât find out?â Dean narrowed his eyes.
Hawkeye replied: âPlease give us a little time and we will find the person who was in contact with this messenger!â
âTimeâŠTime is life.â Dean looked at the youth: âDo you know what kind of sin you have done by colluding with Holy Church to frame an elder? Iâll peel your skin, cut off your tendons and will put the eggs of an insect in your mouth, ears and nostrils. Iâll put you into a pig cage and sink you in water until the eggs hatch!â
The youth was frightened: âElder⊠Please show mercy. I-I am innocent. I didnât betray you⊠â
Dean indifferently said: âGive me the names of people who instructed you.â
The youth was at a loss. As Hawkeye said earlier on he had no relations to anyone. Moreover he only became a messenger after Hawkeye appreciated his job. But Hawkeye didnât promote him later on. He was waiting for the day of promotion. However he didnât expect to be beaten and forced into such a move.
âI can guess the truth even if you donât say anything.â Dean continued: âDid you betray me with the division of the great potion master Amy?â
Hawkeye looked at the youth in excitement: âBe frank and lenient!â
The youth heard Hawkeyeâs words. He saw the last straw of life he could attach to: âYes, yesâŠâ
âSurely it was her people.â Dean narrowed his eyes as he looked at HAwkeye: âAmy was just imprisoned. What was your intention when you let her to pass my whereabouts?â
Hawkeye knelt down: âElder, Iâm not aware of anything. I didnât know when great potion master bought him! Please believe in me!â
Dean coldly stared at him.
Hawkeye anxiously looked at Dean. He hoped that Dean would see the frankness and sincerity in his heart. The coldness in Deanâs eyes gradually faded away.
âI believe that you wonât do anything stupid like that.â Dean indifferently said: âHowever because of the negligence my life was at risk! This crime is inevitable!â
Hawkeye bowed: âIâm guilty elder. Please give the appropriate punishment.â
âIâll think about it.â Dean said in a cold tone: âI hope you can live up to my expectations in the future.â
âYes.â Hawkeye was relieved.
âTake him out.â Dean continued: âCall the members of the council.â
âYes.â Hawkeye stood up and pulled out the youth from the office.
Neuss saw how sinister the methods of the members of the dark church were from the scars on the youthâs body. He was also aware that Dean couldnât trust the people around him.
âLetâs go to the meeting room.â Dean got up.
This time Dean was the first to enter the conference hall. He quietly sat there as he thought about random things.
