Chapter 191 - [Bonus ]LYING IN THE POOL OF BLOOD

"…Please, let me go out and save those who can be saved before it's too late."

Veronica knew she couldn't win if she fought against him using her strength. That's why she had to request him.

Sebastian stared at her for a long time. He was debating with himself.

He was strict about not letting her go at first. Nonetheless, after hearing her pleading, his ears started hearing the cries of people outside. He couldn't resist as his heart began to sway.

In the end, he gave in.

He sighed and told her, "Mistress, there are more than twenty men outside ready to kill us. I may not be able to single-handedly kill them. But, I will try my very best. Please hide under the bed and wait for my return. If I return, you will know every enemy is dead and you can save as many people as you want. If I don't return, just think I'm dead."

"No!" Veronica's reaction was strong. "You must come back alive, in one piece. You are Arthur's man. I believe in you. You got that?"

Sebastian smirked. "All right, Ma'm. I must confess, you are really hard to serve."

"I'll wait for your return."

After Sebastian made sure she hid under the bed, he gave the beauty a fair warning, "Don't try to harm my Miss or you will regret it." Afterward, he went out.

Twenty minutes later –

Sebastian opened his eyes and found himself on the floor. He tried to move but he couldn't. His entire body was sore. He recalled before he lost consciousness, he killed some people and injured a few. Later, he was hit on his head hard, and afterward, everything went blank.

He opened his mouth and tasted something metallic. He frowned as he realized what he just tasted.

It was blood.

He looked down and saw that he was lying in a pool of blood. Right in front of his face, there was a dead body. The dead man's face was so close to him that if he (S) breathed, the carbon dioxide would brush his (dead man) face.

The dead man's eyes were open and blood was pouring from his wide-open mouth. Before the person died, he was in great pain. His horrendous expression said it all.

The pain vanished from Sebastian's body. The scenery wasn't something he saw often. He felt like vomiting.

'Wait, Mistress…' Chills ran down his spine when he thought Veronica could be in the same situation or dead.

'I fainted and so they thought I died. But there is no way they will leave Mistress alone if they find out,' he thought.

Panicked, he stood up on shaky legs and sprinted toward the room. The door was wide open. His heart tightened as he rushed to the room.

"Mistress!" he shouted.

His heart dropped when he saw Veronica's body on the bed, unmoved.

Twenty minutes before –

Some time passed after Sebastian left the room. Veronica suddenly remembered that she forgot to hide their beautiful hostage under the bed.

She crawled out and asked him, "Why didn't you remind me of you? Did you want to die?"

Even though she complained, the person in question didn't reply. She suddenly realized why he couldn't.

His mouth was covered.

She slapped her forehead. "Silly me. Let me help you hide under the bed. I can't let you die."

She grabbed his collar and pulled him with all her might. But she underestimated his weight. He was too heavy for her to bear.

She dragged him for quite some time before collapsing on the floor. She breathed heavily and said, "Why are you so heavy? Phew! You don't look much but you got some meat under your skin, don't you?"

She took deep breaths before standing up to tug him under the bed.

At that moment, suddenly that man stood up. She was too surprised to move.

She made sure his legs and arms were all tied. It was impossible for him to move.

However, not only he stood up but also he moved so swiftly that she didn't have time to breathe. Before she could blink, he spun her around. Her vision changed quickly and all she could see was the bed.

She was pinned on the bed.

The next second, she felt a dull pain on the back of her neck and she lost consciousness.

The guy rubbed his wrists to help blood circulate. He stepped in the direction of the door with long strides.

After he opened the door, he saw a bloody mess.

He frowned and looked around. He saw men wearing the same clothes as him. They were slaughtering everyone who came to their sight. When they saw the blonde, they ceased their action and came to him.

One of them said, "We have done everything you ordered. Only a few more left."

It looked like the yellow blonde haired man was a young master of some family and those men were his minions.

The man's sharp eyes scanned the whole area and then coldly asked, "Did you see a redhead?"

Someone replied, "You mean the ninja? Yes, he is a good fighter but not a good ninja. Already killed five of our people and injured several. But, he won't live long. We'll end him soon."

"No need. Leave him unconscious," he instructed.

The men in the black exchanged glances.

One of them hesitated before saying, "But your order-"

The man interrupted and crudely said, "Change of order. Let him live."

"All right." Although they were confused, they finally agreed.

He was preparing to leave when someone shouted, "Young Master, I found a woman in the room."

The man's blonde eyebrows furrowed. "Don't touch her. Spare her life."

His underling scratched his head. He was thoroughly confused. "What about the rest?"

"Kill them. Leave no trace behind," after giving the order, he covered his head with the hood and walked away.

'He just left two,' his team members thought in their minds.

The immediate superior gestured to others to finish the task. After that, he followed the blonde.

"Young Master, where are you going next?" he cautiously inquired.

The Young Master responded, "I need to meet my elder brother. Where is he?"

The henchman answered, "I heard he was on a mission to capture a silver-haired woman. After he left, I heard nothing from him."

The Young Master stated, "He must be in his safe house. I'll go meet him. You all clean up the things here. The palace guards are looking for this place. Don't leave any evidence."

"Understood!" the henchman replied and then added, "But Young Master, the Eldest Master Dastan is in duty. He can't–"
