I Became A Zompirewolf Chapter 181 Lucifer's Confession (2)

Chapter 181 Lucifer’s Confession (2)

a n.o.ble getting manhandled by a... child. It was a rare sight to behold. None of the n.o.bles had ever been exposed to such a humiliating situation. But now, it was happening right in front of their eyes.

Three of the guards the n.o.ble in question had brought along himself immediately rushed to their lord's aide. Big mistake. Despite busting the face of the man, Ashton had been careful not to cause any long term damage to the man. However, he didn't need to do the same with their guards.

While the guards moved in to attack Ashton, his team and the royal guards remained at their positions. They were confident that handling a bunch of 'guards' would be a piece of cake for Ashton.

Ashton immediately let go of the man and lunged at the guards. He punched the guard closest to him in the abdomen with such for, everyone could hear the noise of his spine snapping in half as he threw up a mouthful of blood.

Seeing the might of his fists the two other halted, not knowing whether the pride of their lord was worth getting paralyzed over. But the decision of their fates was no longer in their hands. Ashton was going to be the one deciding their future.

But before Ashton could even put his hand on his next target, he fainted in fear while the remaining guard lost all will to fight against him.

Ashton couldn't help but feel disappointed. These guards were supposed to be strong-willed and prepared to die at any moment to save their employer. Not to accept defeat even before the fight begins.

"Pathetic..." Ashton shook his head before turning towards the n.o.bles, "Anyone else wanna play?"

"W-Who do you think you are?" The Gruntas exclaimed together.

"I knew you were fools, but I didn't take you to be blind as well. Can't you see this?" Ashton rolled his eyes while tapping on the royal insignia engraved on his armour.

All the looks of resistance and hostility dropped in a second and instead, was replaced by that of fear and uncertainties. How could a kid like him have the royal insignia on him? Most of them didn't even have one and they had been working for the king for much longer than the boy was even born.

Suddenly, the presence of royal guards and the kid's aggressive behaviour made sense. With the king's support behind him, it was obvious, he would do something like this.

"Just because you have his highness' backing, doesn't mean you'll do whatever you please. The King would not be pleased to learn about this-"

"You wanna talk to the king? That can be easily arranged. Here let me call him up real quick."

Ashton took out his communicator and furiously began pressing numbers. Obviously, he was simply baiting them into thinking he could call someone like Jonathan whenever he pleased. But they didn't need to know that.

Just the confidence in Ashton's eyes was enough to make them believe his words. In mere moments, Ashton was able to a.s.sert his dominance over the n.o.bles, by both showing off his brawns and brains. And soon, his gamble paid off.

"P-Please, can't we discuss this peacefully?" Mrs Grunta spoke up on behalf of her husband.

"Oh, you wanted to short this mess peacefully? You should have said so then!" Ashton smiled and put his communicator away, "Who the f.u.c.k do you think you are to offer me peace? You remember me, don't you?"

"Of course..."

"Then do I need to remind you what you people did to me? I might not know who was the main culprit, but I do know some of you wanted to kill me while I was recovering back in the infirmary."

All of the n.o.bles there acted shocked and for some strange reason, it felt genuine. As if they weren't aware of what Ashton was talking about.

Ashton ignored their confused faces and continued, "If you want your kids to remain unharmed, then I suggest you find that person and bring them to me. If not... well, then I guess your n.o.ble brats will have to enjoy the rest of their time left in academy inside a prison cell."

"You can't do this!? This is immoral!" Mr Grunta suddenly found his voice again. But he did so at the wrong time.

"Immoral? What the h.e.l.l do you mean it's immoral?" Ashtin was confused whether he should laugh at the man's hypocrisy or just slap him senseless, "But first, tell me... do you even know what that word means?"

"..."

"Thought so. Now get your a.s.ses out of my sight, or you'll find your head, inside your wife's a.s.s in a moment."

Hearing him say those words so nonchalantly, made Fae chuckle while the rest of them tried their best to resist giving any reaction.

Ashton didn't spare another moment on the n.o.bles and headed inside the administrative building while the guards escorted the n.o.bles out. The next step was to ask some questions to the professors. But before that could happen... Ashton heard Lucifer's voice inside his head.

[That was quite the show, Mr Tribrid. I heard you wanted to talk about something?]

"Why don't you people get started without me? I'm a bit heated so, I think I should calm my nerves down a bit first." Ashton ignored Lucifer and instructed his squad before making his way back to his old room.

'What's happening to me?' He asked Lucifer.

[What do you mean? You seem fine to me.]

'Don't you dare beat around the bush. Something is wrong inside me and you know it.'

Silence... the more the people ignored him, the more frustrated Ashton was getting. He came back to Contingent to look for some answers but all he was receiving was silence. And now he was getting p.i.s.sed.

[Before I tell you anything, you need to tell me exactly what happened.]

Ashton took a deep breath and told Lucifer everything that happened on the island. How he didn't remember finishing the quest, and yet he had and also got a variety of rewards.

[This... this is happening much earlier than we had antic.i.p.ated.]

"For f.u.c.k's sake... tell me what's happening to me?"

[I have a confession to make... you better get seated first.]
