The Author's POV

Chapter 474

TRIIIING—! TRIIIING—!

Waking my groggy mind up was the sound of my phone ringing beside my bed.

Without moving, I extended my hand and touched the side of the bed until my finger tapped onto the screen of the phone and the call went through.

"Who is it?" I groggily asked.

—Ren, Jesus Christ. How much are you planning on sleeping?

Smallsnake's voice rang from the speaker of the phone.

"What time is it?"

Rather than checking for myself, I opted to ask Smallsnake.

—It's 12 in the afternoon.

"Huh?"

Raising my head, my head turned in the direction of my phone.

Leaning toward my phone, I looked at the time.

[Wednesday, 12 : 38 P.M.]

"Oh wow."

Slumping back down on the bed, I stared at the ceiling of the room. I had slept quite a bit.

—Ren, are you even listening to me?

Snapping me out of my thoughts was Smallsnake's voice. I could feel hints of frustration in it.

"What is it?" I lazily asked.

—Connal Rhinestone, the person that you've asked me to keep watch of has gone missing.

"Oh."

—Hm? How come you don't sound surprised at all?

"Because I'm not."

I replied in a flat and monotonous tone. Covering my eyes with my arm, I yawned.

"Huaaam."

"To be honest, I sort of expected this outcome from the very beginning."

I mumbled in a low voice. Low enough for Smallsnake to not hear.

—Hm? Did you say something?

"No."

I shook my head.

The reason why I had asked Smallsnake to take a watch of Connal was because I wanted to get rid of him before he got too troublesome, however, the preparations needed to take care of someone of that caliber were not simple.

I needed a lot of time, at least a couple of months, and that was something that I, unfortunately, did not have.

'Looks like some demon managed to strike...'

Given Connal's current state of mind, this was not surprising.

The man watched his son die in front of the whole human domain, and instead of feeling anything for him, they all cheered for Kevin.

Treating him as some sort of hero.

Not only that, after the deal that I made with Octavious, Aaron was framed as 876, and with all the stuff that the Union had put up, Aaron's guild naturally underwent turbulent times, falling into extremely chaotic times.

Though I did not know exactly what happened, all I did know was the fact that his father was taking blows after blows.

In just a couple of days, he watched as everything he built and worked hard for crumbled right in front of his eyes.

Had I been in Aaron's father's shoes, I too would find my mentality start to wane.

I wasn't the only one who had figured this out as the Union also knew of this and hence why they kept a close watch on him.
