Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 Mortis: I was actually captured in two days?

"Your name is 'Kleonides'? An Astrology Priest?"

"Yes, Envoy."

"Next life, divine yourself more."

--- "You are 'Glycera'? A Healing Priest?"

"What for?"

"Seeking revenge."

--- "Eufranore, Law Official."

"Philoxenos, Commander of the Guards."

"Nicarate, the successor cultivated by the Chief Official?"

"..."

Every time Mortis uttered a name, that person would die shortly after.

After half a day, she finally crossed out her small notebook.

Who would have thought that this inconspicuous notebook would become a death note.

For so many years, this was the first time she felt she could live so freely!

Ever since Tribios was born, she had a weakness and had to compromise with those in power.

Now those evildoers with ulterior motives have received their due retribution, it's truly refreshing.

"Is that all? Don't leave behind any future troubles."

Oliver wiped the blood splattered on the back of his hand and spoke calmly.

Having killed so many people, his mood fluctuations were actually not significant.

After possessing power, it's inevitable to become a little arrogant, plus he subconsciously knew that this was a script, just like playing a game.

Killing NPCs in a game, especially villain NPCs, is really hard to feel guilty about.

Or perhaps, I am not a good person myself --- "That's enough, these are all key figures who have become influential, they control too much power and cannot be subdued."

Mortis lit a fire and burned the small notebook, she looked at the burning flames: "Thank you --- if I hadn't met you, I would definitely be dead, Tribios might have also suffered their poisonous hands. Now you've also helped me regain power, how should I repay you?"

She looked at Oliver, her beautiful eyes gentle and sincere.

Oliver asked back: "Do you remember what I said I liked when we first met?"

Mortis thought for a moment and replied: "You like beautiful things, like me ---"

As she spoke, she blushed herself.

Oliver laughed, "So, you only need to show your beauty to me alone, and that will be repayment. Do you accept?"

Hearing such flirtatious and ambiguous words, how could a stay-at-home mom like Mortis, who had never been in love, resist?

Her pretty face became even more rosy, so shy that it was about to drip water.

"Mmm --- of course."

Mortis replied in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum, not daring to meet Oliver's eyes.

Although these words didn't explicitly state the relationship, she could also understand the meaning within.

Oliver reached out and brushed Mortis's hair behind her ear.

Mortis didn't resist this intimate gesture, only her heart was pounding.

She was also very surprised in her heart, she had only known Oliver for less than two days, and she wasn't someone who would fall in love easily.

But it was as if the Titan had tied a red thread, and thinking about the warm scene of him and Tribios getting along, the scene of him saving her, the scene of him standing up for her, the way he smiled was really good-looking --- unable to resist at all.

"Sarilang!!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, and the lower levels of the Three-Phase Hall began to be noisy and chaotic.

The bodies must have been discovered.

Oliver deliberately left the bodies in place, setting them up as specimens.

It was to use them to deter everyone.

"Astrology Priests have been murdered, seal off the entire area!"

"There are people here too! The Law Official is dead!"

"And over here! Lord Nicarate has also been killed!"

The Guards' shouts and warning sounds came from everywhere.

The people working in the Three-Phase Hall panicked all of a sudden, and before they could do anything, they were already surrounded by the Guards.

Layer upon layer, the Three-Phase Hall was tightly surrounded.

It must be known that all those who died today were high-level figures in the political and religious circles. With these people dead, the management of Janusapolis was like headless flies.

Mortis suddenly grabbed Oliver's hand: "Next, City of Janus will be chaotic for a few days, I want to take the opportunity to regain power, I may not have time to go home --- can I ask you to help me take care of Tribios?"

"Are you sure you'll be okay alone?"

Oliver asked back.

Mortis revealed a confident smile: "Heh, you've already helped me so much, if I still can't do it, it would be too useless."

It must be said that Mortis's beautiful milf face is really good-looking when she smiles.

Oliver liked to see her smile, so he nodded: "Okay, I will take good care of Tribios and wait for you to come home."

This sentence 'wait for you to come home' instantly struck Mortis's heart.

She understood that she had really fallen into this man's trap and might not be able to escape.

After the two separated, Oliver returned to the Book Depository of Prophecies, opened the secret door, and returned to the underground room where Tribios lived.

After entering, he found that the red-haired Little Ti was already awake and was writing and drawing on the desk.

"Becoming Tribios's guardian, I don't know what to do."

Oliver was in a dilemma for a moment.

After all, the system didn't tell him the script content, nor did it have task guidance.

He had no idea how to complete the script at all.

"Envoy! Are you here to find Mommy? She's not home."

A childish voice pulled Oliver's thoughts back.

That small figure, like a little butterfly, came to Oliver, raised her head, and stared at him with a pair of watery eyes.

Oliver was almost melted by this cute thing.

It felt like some strange attribute was awakening --- it must be known that this loli will be divided into a thousand in the future!

If he was surrounded by a thousand cute lolis, Oliver couldn't guarantee what he would do ---
