I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 665 Warning

After a few moments, Angus feels no longer follows Elder Dumrod. The Dwarf elder starts to focus on working mechanical parts after being separated from the bipedal locust. Angus decides to go back at the end of the day.

At first, he wanted to observe the other suspicious person or group. However, he also heard about Anna's words from Jayna and couldn't help but feel worried. Still, he didn't worry about it too much.

According to Jayna, Anna is still afraid that they will be gone again if she falls asleep in a foreign place like last time. He didn't blame her for thinking like this. Angus knows Anna is a simple-minded girl despite her talent and brilliant insight.

He also knows Anna is far from being strong in terms of mentality. It could be said all her cheerful expression is only a coping mechanism to hide her fragile mental health. Therefore, Angus and Jayna always spoiled her a lot despite her naughtiness.

The best way to help Anna is by letting her open herself and accept their help. Other than that, they could only be patient with Anna.

As Angus moved through the shadow, he noticed some suspicious group on his list gathering together and entering a heavily enchanted building.

'Hmm… This may be a good opportunity to eavesdrop on them.' thought Angus inwardly while hiding in the shadow near the heavy enchanted building.

Just as Angus wanted to go inside the building, "Curious… Don't be curious. Did you ever hear curiosity killing the cat? But, does that also make the cat beastman a curious person? Now, I am really curious… Kehahaha…" laughed someone near Angus while hiding in the shadow.

'Monster-minded person?!! When did he get here?' thought Angus anxiously while staying in the shadow.

"You know, Mr. Curious. I will not recommend you go further. But… That's not my problem, isn't it? Isn't It?" said the monster-minded person, revealing his worn clothes.

Most of his figure is still enveloped by a dark shadow. However, Angus knows he is disguised as a beggar or homeless person. People may wonder why homeless people or beggars are inside such a prestigious Undermine Council, especially with their strict entry.

However, these beggars are actually quite normal in this place. Besides the shop and auction house, there are entertainment facilities, like the battle arena, gambling den, brothels, and many others.

These places not only entertain people but also grab people's money and turn them into beggars. They need at least to work their ass off if they want to pay their way from Undermine Council.

Otherwise, they could only be homeless for the next few days and wait until the event ends. People who lose their money become poor in one moment and break their spirit for losing it. Moreover, any inn room in this place is costly.

Therefore, it is not rare to see a few beggars or homeless people in the street with broken spirits. These kinds of people usually attract pity from others for a moment. But people will also forget them the next moment. It is a good cover for people like monster-minded people.

At this moment, Angus is sure that this monster-minded person is warning him to not go inside. However, he is also wary of this hideous person. This is the second time a monster-minded person has not blown his cover.

As if noticing Angus' thought, "Don't overthink about it. Just go back and hug Queenie. Wait… Is she supposed to be king? But she is a woman? Or a girl? Troublesome… Urghh!!" grunted the hideous person.

Angus didn't hesitate at this second and immediately teleported away while still in the shadow. The next moment, he is already back near his inn and hears an explosion sound in the far distance.

'What a crazy bastard!! They are like Anna but much wilder and… dangerous.' thought Angus while entering his room.

When the beggar monster-minded person grunted, he released a large amount of mana to the surroundings and destroyed his surroundings. Not enough with that, Angus also notices the person releasing some mana-version of Miasma Blast to the surroundings in rampage.

Entering the room, Angus couldn't help but shake his head at these unstable monster-minded people.

'No wonder everyone hates and wants to eliminate them. One moment they are like friendly people, but the next second they start to become mass-murderer psychopaths. Still, Queenie… Did it mean Anna sent them to warn me?' thought Angus while changing his clothes.

Then, he approaches the sleeping Anna, who snuggles on Jayna's arm.

"I am back. Now, you don't need to worry and just sleep." said Angus softly, as he knew the little monster was still not sleeping.

"Okay. Night, Dad. Night, Mom." said Anna before sleeping with a peaceful smile.

Hearing Anna's words, Angus and Jayna were startled but didn't wake Anna. They only lay beside her and kissed her small head.

"Night, my little monster." said Angus and Jayna gently.

The next day, they wake up early and find more dwarf guards patrolling the street. Apparently, they find a group of Stonaron workers dead and butchered into pieces in the remote area.

There is also a certain accident, someone using a strong large-scale attack and destroying some buildings. This incident also killed a few passersby and the people in the nearby building. According to the witnesses, a sudden energy beam erupted in the area.

Currently, the whole area is under lockdown and everyone near it is under investigation. Angus wasn't surprised about the news and knew the monster-minded person would get away easily.

This monster-minded person may be crazy in the head, but he knows his stealth skill is top-notch. He could even sneak near him despite his sharp perception that was boosted through many Ancient Powers. He will not even be surprised if this person suddenly sneaks beside them.

While hearing this news from the other guest and innkeeper, they have breakfast. It is quite fortunate for them since the inn also provides breakfast for free. Otherwise, Angus must spend a ridiculous amount of money on Anna's breakfast.

The inn also has a lot of food stock and doesn't complain about Anna's insatiable appetite. They are even happy to have Anna as their customer, as it is rare for them to meet people with bottomless stomachs like her.

"So, what are we going to do today?" asked Jayna while taking care of Anna.

"*Sigh* Honestly, I just want to return home and stay away from this place. This place is the worst place I want to stay. There is nothing but problems here." said Angus.

"You know you can't do that, right?" asked Jayna.

"Yeah. The dwarf elders asked me to attend the ceremony on the last day of this event. It seems the dwarf will hold a big meeting among the dwarves. This is also the true meaning of the Undermine Council."

"I don't really know the details since only the dwarves are eligible to attend this event. Others couldn't attend this council except for a few who got special recognition."

"Even Aunt Hersha couldn't get anything about this event. However, this council will certainly decide the dwarf race's future. *Sigh* The more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to go to this event. Did the sick excuse work?" asked Angus lazily.

"Hmm… Big sis, Angus turned lazy bum again." commented Anna while eating.

"Yes, he is. Angus is just tired from all this stuff." replied Jayna gently.

"Hmm?? Did Angus get tired?" asked Anna.

"Err… Not really. I just want to avoid trouble." said Angus.

"Anna can help Angus." said Anna excitedly.

"Anna, you don't think about blowing up the whole place, right?" asked Angus.

"*Gasp* Big sis!! This is not Angus. Angus is not this smart!! Angus could read Anna's mind." said Anna comically.

Hearing this, Angus could only have a facepalm reaction.

"Forget about it. We will just act according to the situation. Let's enjoy the event now and hunt for rare material. That stone-faced King is generous enough to give us some money to buy any rare material or good stuff." replied Angus.

"And Anna. No blowing stuff and please try to restrain those people from getting wild." added Angus in a serious manner.

"Why?" asked Anna back without expression.

"Err… Can't you just order them?" asked Angus.

"Ahhh… Stupid Angus is back. Gezz… Anna thought Angus had become smarter but dumber. Super dumb dumb." commented Anna with a pitying expression.

"Did I say something wrong?" asked Angus to himself.

"Super Dumb Dumb Angus can't just order around without purpose. Even mini Porky knows about this. *Sigh* Angus is hopeless." said Anna while shaking her head.

Hearing this, Angus wants to reply but is unable to refute it. Although what Anna said is common sense, it also has deep meaning. Anna implied that she couldn't order monster-minded people without actual purpose.

A purpose that should be accepted not just by them but also Anna. For example, she orders the monster-minded people to not create destruction for the sake of the other people who are hostile to them.

This purpose and reason are dumb, no matter how they see it. It is like giving a weapon to a murderer to kill themself. The monster-minded people are crazy but not stupid. In fact, all of them are geniuses in their own way.
