I Can Copy Curses

Chapter 216: 216. Intention To Kill

Everyone was shocked once again after seeing Ethan bow to them. They couldn't understand what was going on. At first, Carl had acted like an arrogant tyrant, completely ordering them around, and now a friend of his was apologizing by bowing down.

They felt like they were being played by the Dungeon Management Association.

Meanwhile, Orion was observing the silver-haired man with narrowed eyes. He believed it was because of this man that Carl and his group had suddenly become more friendly.

Seeing how Carl, who had been raging like a mad dog moments ago, now stood obediently behind Ethan without uttering a single word made Orion even more suspicious. There had to be a reason behind this, and his suspicion fell on the silver-haired man.

The way the man talked to them—the calmness, not putting Carl and his friends in his eyes—made Orion speculate that the silver-haired man might be from the Dungeon Management Association. This could explain why Carl became so silent and why Ethan was overly courteous to the crowd by apologizing.

This situation made Orion's task more difficult. If the silver-haired man really was from the Dungeon Management Association, he wondered if he should kill him too or not.

Orion pondered for a moment and came to a decision. 'If he interferes when I kill them, then he is also on the list,' he thought.

Even though the silver-haired man appeared weaker than Carl and his friends, he seemed to hold a much higher position in the Dungeon Management Association, considering the change in Carl's demeanor and Ethan's friendly attitude.. This made Orion very cautious of him. That's why he decided he would only kill him if he interfered; otherwise, he would treat the man as if he didn't exist.

At that moment, another figure stepped forward and turned to the crowd. It was a middle-aged man with a heavy build and a full-grown beard.

"Let's trust this Ethan kid and kill the boss," he said to the crowd. "Doubting would do us no good against a peak platinum rank boss, so let's forget everything and focus on killing the boss first. What do you guys think?" He looked towards Emily as he said the last part, believing that if she convinced the crowd, they would definitely agree.

Orion smiled a little, understanding what the man was trying to do. But he wondered if his sister would respond to his indication and turned to look at her.

To his surprise, she also stepped forward and addressed the crowd, "Let's just kill the boss monster and be done with it."

Her words almost made Orion fall down. He wondered how these words would convince anyone when she said them like she didn't care about what was going on.

"If you say so, we are going to believe him this time."

"Yeah, let's go and kill the boss."

"If one of the Three Blossoms asks us to, we can't ignore it."

The crowd became excited about killing the boss as Emily convincingly asked them to do so. All that time under the influence of the Dungeon Management Association, they had completely forgotten about her. She was also one of the strongest beings in the platinum rank, and with her here, nothing could go wrong during the boss raid. That was their thinking.

Orion was completely speechless at how quickly they changed their minds when his sister just told them to fight the boss out of pure duty.

'The Three Blossoms are no joke,' he thought seriously. Their influence was large enough to convince a crowd with just a few words.

At that moment, Ethan came forward and bowed to Emily. "Thanks for helping me convince the crowd."

Emily just nodded, but her expression darkened when she looked at Ethan.

Ethan noticed but didn't mind and asked, "May I know your name?"

'Crap!' Orion cursed as he saw Ethan asking for his sister's name. 'This is bad.'

He didn't want Ethan and the others to know that members of the Darkwood Family were present here in this dungeon. He believed it would cause a conflict with Emily, and she would become a suspect in their deaths, considering she would have a motive.

Even a little bit of evidence could be used if the Dungeon Management Association wanted to, so Orion didn't want a conflict between his sister and Carl's group.

"AHH!" Orion suddenly screamed, attracting everyone's attention, including Ethan's and his sister's.

"What happened?" Emily quickly came to him, her expression concerned.

"I don't know," Orion shook his head. "I suddenly felt a headache."

Emily pondered for a moment and said, "It will be fine. We will leave the dungeon soon." She patted him on the head and looked at the crowd. "Let's enter the barrier."

As she said that, she didn't wait for anyone and immediately entered the barrier, appearing in front of the golden wolf. It opened its eyes sensing a presence in front of it, and seeing a human standing there, it roared.

"WOOOO!"

Seeing that, the middle-aged man looked at the crowd and shouted, "Let's go in too." He entered the barrier after that.

Soon, the crowd followed behind him. They passed through the barrier without any hesitation and entered the boss arena.

Orion sighed in relief. Not knowing how much information Carl's group had about the Darkwood Family, uttering even their names could make them recognize who they were. But at the same time, he had a hunch that they didn't have any information about the Darkwood Family.

If they had done proper research before coming here, they should at least recognize his sister considering her popularity in the entire Magus Kingdom, but they didn't recognize him.

However, that was merely his speculation. Who knew if they might recognize their names? He doubted the chances, but he couldn't risk his family's survival on these chances and speculation.

Most importantly, when Ethan asked his sister for her name, she might have mentioned Darkwood, and that would have spoiled everything. So, he was glad he was able to change the situation.

'I have to kill them fast. The longer they survive, the higher the chances they will find out,' Orion thought urgently.

He then walked towards the barrier intending to enter the boss arena, but when he reached the barrier and was about to pass through it, a voice called out to him.

"Be careful in there; otherwise, you might end up dying in an accident."

Orion turned around and saw that it was Carl's friend who uttered those words. Damian was his name, he recalled from the conversation he had eavesdropped on last time. As for Carl, he saw that he was glaring at him silently. A smile appeared on Orion's face when he saw that.

"Yeah, yeah. Just don't run away like last time," he waved his hand dismissively and passed through the barrier.

"Damn, he isn't taking us seriously at all," Damian said with irritation.

At that moment, Ethan asked Carl, "Do you really want to kill that kid?"

"I want to kill that girl even more, but since we couldn't find her, he will face my judgment," Carl said, his voice dripping with hatred.

"Sigh," Ethan sighed. "It will cause us some problems, but we will do it."

Carl nodded and went towards the barrier. Ethan and the others followed behind him.

At the end were some weak iron rank experts who were hesitating whether they should enter the dungeon or not but in the end, they gritted their teeth and passed through the barrier.
