"This bastard…

He died while having sex?"

"Can you not… say it like that…?"

Riona requested.

"But don't you see? This bastard died while having sex? You see that strange curve his thing is making? That's clearly an aftereffect of a-"

"Alright, I get it.

Yes, he died while having sex, alright?

You don't have to explain anything to me."

Riona shook her head.

Seeing this, Nux just smiled playfully and shook his head as well.

"Anyways, we need to find out who is behind this. For some reason, I do not have a good feeling you are here. The frequency of these murders has been increasing at an alarming rate and from the pattern, I have noticed, it looks like the culprit or, culprits are targeting people with higher cultivation, also, all the victims are men, so someone is specifically targeting men."

Nux raised his eyebrows.

"I have already sent some men with high cultivation as an undercover around the city and since they have Slave Seal implanted on them, they could easily contact you when something happens, however, none of those culprits are targeted yet."

Riona continued with her report. This time, for some reason, she didn't look as nervous or tense as before.

Of course, knowing the fact that the strongest being in the continent is currently standing right next to her was assuring.

"Mhm, let's just hope these bastards target those men. Order them to play along and report as soon as anything happens to them. It would be better to catch alive."

"I plan to do the s-"

Riona was about to nod, however, before she could complete her sentence,

"Queen Riona…"

3 guards barged into her room and,

"Another body was found…

The Victim is one of the men you sent as undercover…"

"…" Riona and Nux turned silent.

'How did they not report? Were the killers so fast that he didn't even get the chance to report them? But that doesn't make sense, Amaya said that killers with these strange fetishes do not just kill. They like to play around with their opponents before ending them.'

'He was ordered to report the moment someone suspicious approaches him, so if he didn't report anything, then it means he didn't see anyone. It can only mean that he was indeed killed in an instant, or, he was poisoned by a professional.'

Nux glanced at the dead body in front of him and frowned,

'So does that mean the Culprit is doing everything after killing the victim? Does it even get erect once the person is dead?'

Nux couldn't help but wonder.

'There can also be another possibility,' Riona completely ignored Nux's words and proposed another new theory.

'The Culprit knows how to block the Connection.'

'…'

Nux's expression changed.
