Chapter 234 Triss Chick
12 month 28 day.
Tuesday afternoon.
Red Rose Manor.
Wearing the Ince vest, Shael delivered a knee strike followed by a spinning kick, sending Triss Chick, who was trying to pounce on him, flying.
He glanced disdainfully at the witch's pit embedded in the wall.
What kind of level is she? A mere pleasure witch trying to mess with a powerful demigod like him.
Do you think adding "·" to a title makes someone a real Cheek?
"You actually hit me?!"
Triss clutched her aching lower abdomen, her mind clearing slightly, and stared in disbelief at the aloof man before her.
Does this person have some serious illness?
She was just about to make a sacrifice.
Even if she used to be a man, such a beautiful body would make any woman's heart flutter. Long, straight black hair, oval face, fox eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, long legs, gentle and sweet temperament, pure yet alluring figure.
You actually greeted me with your foot?
Triss's expression was somewhat ferocious, and that ruthless edge she had developed from her street-smart ways suddenly came to the fore.
"The allure of a witch?"
"Not really."
Shael shook his head slightly. He raised his hand and grabbed Triss, suspending her in mid-air. She clutched her neck in pain, her legs kicking weakly. Her two high heels had long since fallen to the ground, their warm-colored, pearl-like toes curled up, and the pale blue veins were clearly visible.
Call ~
Xia Er watched Triss struggle in agony. His intuition was always quite high, and he was also quite sensitive to death. He was able to make Triss experience the torment of hovering on the edge of death, struggling painfully every second, but not actually dying.
Only when the person she was carrying was almost dehydrated, her light blue skirt was soaked with sweat, and she was about to lose control of some primal bodily functions and started rolling her eyes, did Xia Er release her grip. She looked at Triss, her eyes vacant, and collapsed weakly to the ground.
"Perhaps your recent experience of wantonly provoking the Rune nobles and attracting the attention of the Witch Church has made you forget your identity."
"For street thugs, if they encounter a weak and easy target, they will exploit him without any limits. If they encounter a tough guy they can't mess with, they will kneel down and apologize without any hesitation. They should be careful with their words and actions, observe people's expressions, and not do anything meaningless."
As he spoke, Chael walked to Triss, who was still convulsing. He continued talking without even glancing at the wolf-fox witch on the ground.
"Didn't you do a great job just now?"
"Even if they were unwilling, in order to escape the control of the Witch's Church and to have a chance to escape from here sooner, they were willing to take the initiative to seduce me."
"Now that you've been taught a lesson, where do you get the courage to bare your teeth at me? Or is it that the inexplicable confidence you've accumulated as a woman lately has made you somewhat blind to your own potential?"
He didn't add another kick, but simply circled around casually, then sat back down in his chair, poured himself a cup of black tea, and waited for the witch on the ground to struggle to her feet.
Although she changed her appearance, Xia'er did not forget her true nature. Perhaps she did not act like a thug willingly, but when she caused a massacre at sea on the first ship, did she not genuinely feel joy and satisfaction?
If he might hesitate and doubt himself when it came to bullying Miss Sharon, then dealing with Triss would be much simpler. In any case, if their positions were reversed, Triss would certainly not show him any mercy and might even torture him in some kind of wicked and cruel way.
Isn't this the way the other person likes to be together? He thinks it's alright.
"I'm...I'm sorry, it was my fault."
The brush with death just now made Triss clearly recall the hardships and caution she had faced in the past. At this moment, her eyes were filled with fear and awe when she looked at Xia'er, and there was no trace of hatred or resentment in them. Her voice was a little hoarse, and she moved slowly, using all four limbs, as she supported her still trembling body. She kept her head down the whole time, letting her long black hair cover her face, leaving only a wet trail on the floor.
"It seems you've rediscovered your old ways of survival."
"Then get up. I have no interest in humiliating you for the time being."
Xia Er glanced down and saw Triss kneeling on the ground. Although she tried to calm her breathing, it still sounded a bit heavy. She brushed aside her messy hair to reveal a pale but still pretty face and forced a flattering smile.
He certainly didn't want those faces covered in snot or other disgusting things to rub against his trouser legs, but thankfully Triss was quite sensible. She gently patted her chest and said apologetically:
"I overstepped my bounds before."
"Please wait a moment while I tidy up, and then I'll come back to serve you."
Triss now realized that her appearance wouldn't get her any special treatment from Shael. He was clearly used to women and didn't think much of her. If she didn't know her place, her fate would probably not be good. She lowered her head, bent over, and humbly withdrew.
Xia Er didn't pay much attention to her. He treated everyone the same way he treated the "spiritual girl".
After Triss left, Edsack politely knocked on the door and waited for permission before entering.
When he saw the human-shaped hole in the wall, he felt even more awe for the teacher.
"Teacher, the smog that has accumulated in Backlund has reached a critical point. Even without deliberate detonation, a disaster is inevitable. The Witch Church has already begun preparing to release the plague."
Edsack reported on the news from the Witch's Church, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and regret.
He was ultimately a prince with a weak heart and truly did not want such a smog to occur in Backlund, but it seemed unavoidable. If he did not take advantage of this opportunity, even though the Augustus family was a royal family, it would be difficult to implement reforms in Rune.
It should be noted that the Kingdom of Rune has been established for a thousand years, and the Church's influence has been rooted in Rune for a thousand years. In these thousand years, the core members recruited by the Church could not possibly be members of the royal family.
So, could the middle and upper echelons of the church, their families, and their relatives be considered commoners in the Kingdom of Rune?
Vested interest groups exist everywhere, and the three major churches cannot be anything other than beneficiaries of vested interests.
Reform... even for royalty, it's difficult to use coercive measures against those with vested interests; there are simply too many factors involved.
At this time, Edsack's dissatisfaction with those nobles, wealthy merchants, and factory owners actually exceeded that with the Witch Church, since the Witch Church was, after all, a cooperative relationship invited by the Augustus family.
The Sequence 3 Witch's plague only covers a range of 15 kilometers, the Sequence 4 Witch of Despair's influence range is even smaller, and now almost the entire Backlund is shrouded in smog.
Who is to blame?
