Origin Of Evil 11 Amanda

The officer looked back and replied "Last evening the captain never came back home, but we saw him leave. See that beautiful lady in the corner, she is the captain's daughter. She came this morning to ask us where the Captain was. She just learned he was supposed to come home last night."

Dorian looked in the direction the officer pointed and saw a red haired young beautiful woman was sitting there, fidgeting from nervousness.

As if she felt his gaze, she looked their way and locked eyes with Dorian. She looked into his cold, indifferent eyes and lowered her head in fright.

Dorian looked back at the officer and asked "Where is Charles' wife?"

The officer looked a little offended by the way Dorian called his captain, but still replied "She must be at their house."

Dorian said "I'll go see her. I suggest you not to declare openly Charles as missing, you will push more people in the Red Scorpion Gang's hands. But add his wife to the suspect list."

The officer frowned and said "I don't receive orders from a hairless brat." Dorian's face frosted and he released his killing aura onto the officer, who stepped back.

Dorian said "I remember Charles saying that apart from his office, one was owned by the chief, and the other by another Captain. Where are they, I haven't seen them since I arrived."

This time, the officer didn't play c.o.c.ky and replied with a hurried voice and wide opened eyes "The chief spends his day at the City Lord's mansion, and Captain Aymeri was a.s.sa.s.sinated right before your arrival."

Dorian frowned, scarring the officer, and asked "Why hasn't anyone replaced him?" The officer hurriedly replied "His position is said to be cursed, the two last Captains died within a week once they became Captains. So no one wants to take the position."

Dorian retracted his killing aura and said "Did Charles have any enemies among the officers?" The officer shook his head hurriedly and said "The only people who could wish for the Captain's harm is the gang."

Dorian nodded and turned toward the red haired girl. She was about the same age as him but looked innocent, as if she was still a rose untouched by the world.

Dorian sighed inwardly, he had only spent five days in Dreamland and he had already started changing so much.

He walked next to her and said "h.e.l.lo, I am a friend of your father. I want to help you find him, and for that I need to come to your home. Can you lead me there?"

The girl said "I don't know you. I never saw you with my dad, who are you?" Dorian replied "I go by the name of Boring Guy, some call me the Butcher, but my real name is Dorian."

The girl's eyes opened wide as she said "You are the Butcher?!" Dorian nodded, and the girl got up saying "My dad talked about you. Can I see your face?"

Dorian, who had the veil on, said "No. Lead me to your house miss." The girl pouted and said "Fine. And call me Amanda, Miss sounds weird."

Dorian nodded and said no more. Amanda walked out of the station, Dorian in her footsteps.

As the two walked in the street, Dorian looked around for any sign. If Charles really walked back home last night, they must have used the same path, so Charles must have disappeared on this path.

But Dorian couldn't get much. Despite being so early in the morning, some people had already gotten up and were on the streets. Although they weren't filled with people, the amount of people was enough to erase any footsteps from last night, and Dorian wasn't an expert in tracking so he couldn't use footsteps.

He couldn't find any trace of blood though, and if by the time they reach his home he still doesn't find any then Charles must have either been overpowered by someone much more powerful who knocked him out too quickly, walked out on his own or simply didn't come back using this path.

As they walked, both Amanda and Dorian kept silent. Amanda had a bored face and looked at Dorian, as if she wanted to say something, but as she saw him look around carefully she kept quiet.

As for Dorian, he was in middle of searching around when he suddenly felt danger. Through the past few days of survival and killing, Dorian developed a sixth sense for danger, and currently he was feeling a great danger coming toward him.

As it neared, Dorian realized it wasn't coming for him, but for Amanda. He stepped closer to her but did nothing, waiting to see where the danger came from. If he acted now the danger would escape and he would lose the opportunity of finding this hidden opponent.

Amanda, unaware of what was happening, said "We are nearing the house, it's just around the corner…"

But as she was in the middle of her sentence, she saw from the corner of her eye a black clothed person jumping at her.

Dorian finally acted and took Amanda behind him and kicked at the black clothed man.

But he didn't expect the man to easily dodge the kick and slash out at Dorian's leg. Because of his lowered Agility, Dorian didn't have the time to retract his leg and the dagger slashed his leg.

The dagger went through his flesh like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter and blood splashed out. Dorian finally retracted his leg, his eyes never leaving the black clothed man. This man was so fast that Dorian believed that he probably equaled him in term of agility.

This was already stronger than any elite he had seen. But what was more shocking was his dagger. With 14 of Vitality, although Dorian's defense couldn't be said to be impervious to blades, even if Dorian used all his strength with his dagger he wouldn't have been able to make such a clean slash.

Dorian looked at the man in black with wary eyes, paying attention to any moves he could make. But just then he heard the robotic voice of Dreamland's system say:

[You have been poisoned! You will lose 5 HP every second for ten seconds!]

Dorian's face turned grim as he said through his mind "Show my HP!"

He then heard:

[100/150]

Dorian's face became even darker. The situation was too dangerous. Within ten seconds he would lose 50 HP and be at a mere 50 HP. And the a.s.sa.s.sin just showed that one slash was enough to cleave 50 HP out of him.

And the opponent didn't look weaker than him, he even seemed to be stronger! Dorian looked at Amanda behind him and saw her frightened face, he grunted and took out two daggers.

Amanda suddenly cried out "I know him, he's the Leaf! You can't beat him we must run!"

Dorian replied "You can't outrun him." Dorian locked his gaze with the Leaf's eyes and did not move. He had already seen how taking the initiative turned out, so he would rather avoid doing that.

The Leaf grunted and rushed at Dorian. The Leaf smiled when he saw another kick coming toward his face, and easily dodged it, but as he prepared to slash at the leg, he realized that Dorian hadn't kicked him, but actually sent his shoe flying!

Dorian took a step forward and threw his sub par dagger at the Leaf. This time, he didn't have the time to dodge and was forced to block.

The dagger forcefully hit the Leaf's dagger, making him stagger, when he saw another dagger coming his way. The Leaf blocked it again, but this time he almost lost the grip on his dagger.

So when he saw a third dagger coming at him, he put his entire strength in the dagger and hit the flying dagger.

But the flying dagger was unexpectedly weak, so the Leaf's dagger didn't stop and opened his defense. As the Leaf realized his mistake, another dagger, a deadlier dagger, flew toward the Leaf.

The Leaf grunted in pain and forcefully stopped his dagger, placing it to block the last flying dagger. But because of that, he couldn't completely stop the dagger which bypa.s.sed his own and pierced his right shoulder.
