Chapter 413 Why Don't You Enlighten Me

Narin maintained her smile as she said in a reassuring tone, "Oh, that's the last thing you have to worry about. See this chain in my hand? You can use it to keep her on a leash, just like any wild beast. This collar on her neck will prevent her from using any odic force, and since Sir Goblin Slayer has impressive strength, I doubt she can give you any trouble. Even if she tries to, all you have to do is pass your odic force through the chain in your hands, and she will immediately feel as if thousands of thunderbolts are striking down on her. She already learned her lesson the hard way a good number of times, so I don't think she is foolish enough to try something like that."

"Oh…" Viktor raised one of his brows as he took the chain from her hands. Based on what Narin said, it sounded like the Siren Queen ended up getting electricity strong enough to rattle her bones and pass through her at least a couple times.

Even Viktor was impressed that this Siren Queen was still conscious after going through all that. If it was a human in her place, only charred remains would be left.

Seraphina was horrified to learn about the kind of torture the Siren Queen had to suffer. She couldn't understand how these people wouldn't feel anything by torturing others like this.

This only made her feel even more glad about saving her.

"Ah, just to remind you, sir, the Grand Ball should begin within thirty minutes. So if you or your wife want to groom yourself or prepare anything, please feel free to use one of our empty chambers. Or if that's unnecessary, the teleportation array ahead should get you to the venue directly," Narin said as she gestured to a door.

"We will take some time for ourselves," Viktor said with a smile as he and Seraphina walked away with the Siren Queen being led away by Viktor.

Seraphina would have asked Viktor if he could free the Siren Queen now, but she knew that they couldn't attract any suspicions until they left this building. Otherwise, which person in their right mind would let go of the 'product' they bought after paying a hefty sum?

"Viktor…" The moment they got inside one of the chambers that were as large as a suite, Seraphina wanted to say something to him, wanting to tell him to be careful.

But Viktor suddenly turned around and said, "Sera, give me one second. I need to speak a few words alone with our new friend here," Viktor pointed at the Siren Queen, who shot a cold look of disdain at him.

The Siren Queen thought that this 'little' rabbitman probably wanted to touch her or take advantage of her. But she didn't care since she was going to show this rabbitman that these silly chains wouldn't be able to restrain a queen like her forever.

Seraphina felt a bit confused and curious, wondering what things Viktor would want to say to the Siren Queen alone. But she trusted his decisions and nodded with a small smile, "Okay. I will be waiting here for you."

Viktor went into the bathroom while the Siren Queen walked behind him. The moment he closed the door, he made her stand against the wall, "So…why don't you cut the act already?"

The Siren Queen furrowed her brows slightly, but then she relaxed her face and kept her head lowered, blatantly ignoring Viktor.

Viktor shook his head, "Seriously? I might not have dealt with your race before, but I know a silent and patient killer when I see one. You can't fool me by playing the helpless and silent beauty. If I was a betting man, I would bet that you let yourself get caught on purpose."

The Siren Queen still remained silent through a ripple passed over her cold azure eyes.

She was now having a hard time believing if the person standing before her was really a rabbitman. She could still force herself to accept the fact that a certain group of rabbitmen could possess strength, but there was no way she would believe any one of those fluffy cute people living in a peaceful, isolated environment would possess such a sharp and perceptive mind.

Most of all, who was he really, and was he asking these questions? He couldn't have seriously given up an odic treasure just to ask her these.

Viktor could see that she wasn't feeling like talking yet. Still, he continued, "But…why? Why do something so risky with all your enemies standing around you, especially the adventurers who can't wait to chop you up like a fish?"

The Siren Queen was still remaining silent with her head down, but her fists were clenched tight behind her back.

"I could only think of two things…One, you got yourself captured despite the risks since you must be either desperate to steal something or…kill someone…perhaps for revenge, considering how you came so far," Viktor said with a narrowed gaze and noticed the Siren Queen's body slightly shaking, making him feel that his words must have struck a chord somewhere in her mind.

"I sensed killing intent waiting to just gush out from your eyes before. And it seemed that you have been suppressing it for quite some while. So that leaves with only one possibility…You came here to kill someone…someone you can't wait to tear their flesh away. Am I right?" Viktor asked as he leaned in closer.

"HISSS! You know nothing!" The Siren Queen hissed with a look of rage as she grabbed his collar, her sharp fangs showing as they suddenly extended outwards from her teeth.

If it was any other person in Viktor's shoes, they might have pissed in fright upon seeing such a terrifying mouth with sharp teeth.

However, Viktor didn't flinch as he looked deep into her eyes and asked, "Then why don't you enlighten me?"
