"No scream or heart attack, it seems I've underestimated your tenacity Edwin" Seth said with an impressed look as he descended from the beast, Irene by his side.
Coming to welco Minuha were about 30 people, Edwin at the forefront, while the other individuals segregated themselves into smaller groups that stood behind a leader.
"Yes, Welco Seth, it is quite a surprise to see you once more," Edwin said seconds after regaining his heartbeat, a tight smile on his face.
With Seth's appearance, Edwin went about throwing Minuha tons of glances, yet he got no ssage or hint of what to do from her.
Knowing both Seth and Minuha to be demons in their own right, Edwin decided to take the middle ground, planning to first wait and see.
"Edwin if I didn't know better I'll think you were going through financially tough tis, I an isn't that your mount, was is it doing with Minuha."
"I lent it to the lady," Edwin said with a smile, all the while praying for Minuha to intervene so he would know his next options.
As soone who had suffered the consequence of underestimating Seth and with the yet-to-be-confird information he had received about Seth's latest actions, Edwin wasn't going to completely ignore the possibility that Seth had overwheld Minuha.
Though he knew Minuha was at the immortal level, a level that was supposed to be invincible, he didn't know much about its specifics.
With his two eyes, he had watched Seth decimate an army, and nothing made a point better than actions.
"Are you sure you lent it, she didn't bully it out of you did she?"
"No, of course, not, the lady isn't a tyrant" Edwin laughed."
"Lady Minuha, Seth, the sun is quite brutal at this ti why don't we all head inside for so shade, refreshnt and a place to rest have been prepared, you must be tired after your journey, " Edwin said first looking at Minuha and then at Seth.
At this point in Monwac City, everyone in the city knew of Seth, having knowledge of his amazing deeds while his vile ones were thoroughly buried, complints of Minuha.
Though Seth was almost so sort of legend to the people, that didn't an he was welcod by everyone.
No matter how much power Edwin or Minuha could command keeping Seth's massacre at Edwin's mansion a secret was impossible, the high-rank soldiers knew of his rampage on their colleagues, and with this being a welco committee for Minuha, the high officials who knew of Seth's actions were bound to be present.
Edwin could already feel, the aura of several people behind him, beginning to subconsciously flare up, and it wasn't just him, everyone present could feel it.
"Why won't you people just listen to , do you all want to die" Edwin cried at the stupidity of his soldiers.
At the mont Edwin's goal was to get the toxic Seth away from his emotional soldiers, not wanting to risk an explosion.
Edwin had called Minuha first when asking his last question, yet it wasn't until Seth casually threw a "fine" that Minuha nodded her head.
This little interaction gave Edwin a hint on who was most likely in charge, and rather than feel horror or panic at this discovery, he only sighed within.
"Guess he really is different," Edwin thought confirming that the increased feeling of wariness he was getting from Seth was in relation to his strength,
Edwin was just about to lead his toxic guest away when a cry ca out.
"Wait."
Edwin looked to the person who had spoken, recognizing that the person was Irene, but rather than speak to him, the woman was instead looking at Seth with a narrowed gaze, her soul sense sending him a ssage.I think you should take a look at
"Oh yes, Edwin, do you have Aimy in your custody."
"Aimy" Edwin questioned, his face natural and ignorant."
"Is there any mber of her race in Monwac City?" Seth asked, and Seth didn't have to say anything more to let Edwin know that he wasn't playing around.
With Seth's question, Edwin was put in a much tighter spot, but it didn't take him long to arrive at an answer.
"Yes, a female with your race's signature fluffy ears, she went on saying that Seth killed Zuroc so we thought she was ntally ill and safely put her in our custody," Edwin said wanting to give a reason for one of his recent actions.
"She isn't lying, Zuroc is dead," Irene said, a body missing a lot of flesh appearing and falling to the ground while she quickly moved closer to Edwin.
"Where is she, please release her" She half raged and half pleaded.
For a few seconds, Edwin's attention was taken by the dead body Irene had pulled out, but when he heard the fear and plea in her tone as he asked for her sister, he quickly turned to Irene wanting to placate her very wrong thoughts, but then soone spoke before him.
"How dare you be so unruly to the commander?"
"Who is this idiot… damn these capital soldiers I told them to keep shut..."
Well, that was all Edwin could think before the man and three other people behind him were obliterated by a massive compact beam that thankfully didn't continue on its path but rather self-destructed after hitting its targets.
Without a heartbeat, Edwin and everyone looked to the perpetrator of the attack watching him pull back his right index finger without a word, and then from there, everyone looked to Minuha.
The people Seth had just killed were leaders of the reinforcent from the capital, if anyone should oppose Seth's action the most, it had to be Minuha who was also from the capital.
Though there were several eyes on her, Minuha didn't' bother looking at any of them, keeping her eyes looking off into the distance like nothing significant had happened.
Minuha had just survived not being killed by Seth, even if Seth went on to wipe out Monwac city, there was no way she was going to do anything to earn his ire.
If the capital called her for questioning, all she had to tell them was Seth's level of law comprehension and they would shut up, else whoever wanted to punish her would have to go and confront Seth.
Though she had mocked Seth's strength by comparing it with the extre powerhouses of the kingdom, what were the chances that any of those lofty figures would leave their resting places to confront an unknown immortal-level cultivator.
At their level, after hundreds of years of cultivation, no one wanted to carelessly throw away their life.
With Minuha keeping silent on Seth's actions, a chill went through everyone present and they all began looking at Seth with fear, while Edwin quickly went on to placate Irene,
"Sorry about that, n from the capital have no manners..."
"I just want to see my sister." Irene cut him off not wanting to hear his apologies and also just realizing how much power she wielded with Seth backing her.
"Of course."
"Dilise" Edwin called out, the woman quickly moving close to him.
"Take Irene to see her sister imdiately, and make sure to provide her with whatever she needs."
