Instead of a woman, she's more appropriately referred to as a girl. She's so young. Klaus could not help but hiss.
"You're still a kid," he muttered.
"Let go of !" The girl squird, her courage faltering,
The girl reminded Klaus of his younger sister. He backed off, refraining from torturing her. If she were an adult, Klaus wouldn't hesitate.
"You, punk. Who are you?" Klaus interrogated.
Covering her mouth, the girl was reluctant to reveal her na. Her face clearly indicated she was terrified of Klaus. Her body couldn't stop trembling.
"Say sothing or I'll break your neck," Klaus threatened. He gave a warning look.
The girl swallowed hard. "Zee…"
"I asked for your real na."
"That's been my na since I was born. I don't have another na."
Hearing the response that ca from her lips, Klaus nodded. He didn't detect any falsehood from her.
"Tell , why did you kidnap my friend?" he asked.
Instead of answering, Zee lowered her head. She turned her face away, signaling that she didn't want to divulge information. Of course, Klaus couldn't accept that.
"Want to break your neck, huh?"
"Nah, please. I didn't want to kidnap her."
Naturally, Klaus raised an eyebrow.
The girl explained that she had been ordered to assassinate Alexa. However, she changed the initial plan halfway. Zee wanted to play with fire. However, she ssed up with the wrong person.
"You punk. You had a chance to escape but ended up provoking . Your boss must be really unlucky to have a dumb lackey like you."
Klaus couldn't tell whether he should laugh or cry in this situation. Before him stood a child who was probably 16 years old or less. At her current age, she had beco a sadistic psychopath who enjoyed inflicting pain on others for pleasure. But thanks to this, Klaus could save Alexa.
He let out a deep breath. anwhile, Zee turned her face away, concealing her flushed face.
"I should be angry, but for so reason, I feel disappointed in you. Just because you possess the [Dark Force], doesn't an you can beat everyone. Lucky you're not my subordinate. My plans would be a ss if I sent you to kill my enemies—"
Suddenly, Klaus rembered sothing.
When he made a deal with Izzy, she ntioned that the person who killed Roach was a mysterious woman with a gray hood and possessed dark powers that could devour everything. The description of the assassin matched the delinquent before him now.
But more importantly, Izzy also ntioned why the assassin targeted her boss—to find Morgan, Klaus's other identity. If the mysterious woman and Zee were the sa person, it ant the one who sent them was the sa too.
In an instant, Klaus exuded an increasingly intense dark aura. The darkness around him spread as if it wanted to engulf everything around it.
Zee stared in fear. For the first ti, she felt a darkness stronger than her own. However, what frightened her the most was the overwhelming intent to kill. She had never encountered soone so bloodthirsty.
"Tell , kid. Who sent you?" Klaus inquired. His eyes fixed sharply.
On the other side, Zee stamred. Her body trembled intensely, and her eyes began to water. She was incredibly terrified. Her mind wasn't functioning properly.
Not getting the answer he desired imdiately, Klaus shouted at her.
"TELL !"
Instead of answering, the girl grew even more frightened. She began crying uncontrollably. However, it only made Klaus more infuriated.
The darkness crept over every part of her body, silencing her mouth. The girl stopped making crying sounds, but fear was still vividly etched on her face.
"If you keep crying and don't give an answer, believe , you'll experience sothing worse than death. Understand?" Klaus sounded serious as he said this.
Zee nodded her head. Then, the darkness that had silenced her mouth dissipated.
"Who's your boss?" Klaus asked in a hushed tone, but a sense of dread was evident in each word. "Is it Liliana?"
The girl shook her head. "Not her, but the Morning Star guild master, Vincent Thomsen."
The killing aura emanating from Klaus faded. His assumption had been off, but he felt relieved. After the horrifying incident on his birthday, Klaus had prepared for various possibilities to counter his aunt's cunning plans. He was angry at Liliana, yet at the sa ti, he still held forgiveness for her.
Klaus had nearly lost Sylvia, and if he were to lose Alexa because of his aunt's sche, he truly wouldn't forgive that woman.
"It seems I've beco too soft," he muttered.
However, when he got the desired answer, Zee wasn't done speaking.
"Vincent is indeed the one who sent . He's my boss. But, it's his lover who always gives him advice is Liliana."
Instantly, Klaus widened his eyes. The aura of darkness from his body surged like a roaring fire.
But the anger didn't last long.
A grin spread across his face.
On the other hand, Zee furrowed her brow. She wasn't sure whether to feel relieved or astonished in this situation. What was more important, she was still alive.
Klaus chuckled. "So, they really did it."
From his wild imagination, Klaus had suspected that Liliana and Vincent were having an illicit affair. But he dismissed the possibility because Klaus knew Vincent was after LR Entertainnt. It was the sa reason this person was willing to assist Noah. Liliana wouldn't be foolish enough. Only Noah would do such a thing.
Klaus had always wondered why his aunt let her son make a deal with such an unfavorable agreent. But after knowing the truth, everything made sense. He knew what he had to do now.
The darkness was reabsorbed into his body, and Zee winced in pain as her butt hit the ground. She imdiately knelt before his feet.
"Now, what should I do with you," Klaus muttered.
Zee trembled in fear as she heard it.
Even though Klaus had no intention of taking her life, he couldn't just let her go. She was an enemy, after all.
Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in his mind. Laplace was contacting Klaus through telepathy. He quickly diverted his attention to the voice in his head.
"What's the matter, Laplace? I'm busy."
