Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

The group then started leaving the chamber. They wanted to stay there for longer and search for more useful things for them. This place was like a cave of world-breaking mysteries that they could only look around to find what they were looking for.

However, the fact that their base is in danger was something that can't be taken lightly at all.

Acht was the last one to leave as he looked back at the chamber. His eyes scanned the place and stopped on each capsule and eyed each clone inside them.

He couldn't know why, but something inside of him was calling for him to do a certain thing. He couldn't know what this thing was or who was calling for him from deep inside him.

'I feel like I have some kind of link with them. So, I am not sure if it is really the effect of the heart or it's just me starting to hallucinate.' He thought to himself as he sighed audibly and turned around to leave.

However, the moment he stepped inside the tunnel, a whisper called for him from near his ear.

"Our honor to meet the supreme monarch."

His eyes widened as he turned around quickly to see who called for him. However, there was nothing there out of the ordinary. There was no movement from any clone nor was there any disturbance in the atmosphere of the chamber

This made him even more confused. Did the clones talk to him? Who was this supreme monarch? What kind of nonsense is this?

He asked himself these questions but he couldn't find an answer to any of them. It was all too weird to the point that he questioned whether he really heard these whispers or not.

'I am sure of it. There was someone who talked to me. Ah, fuck. This is a waste of time now.'

Acht stood there silent for a moment before he muttered.

"This is going to be interesting."

He then left the room with this event deeply engraved in his mind.

The group then walked back to the portal at a faster speed.

The trip back took almost 2 hours.

When they entered the portal and came back to Evernight, they didn't want to catch attention so they hid their masks and wore their usual clothes.

The city was as loud as usual with no trace of any kind of news about hunters coming to the city.

This was bad and good at the same time. Bad because this made them feel even more alerted about the fact that these hunters were perhaps still in the city, waiting for them to appear.

But, it was good because this meant that they could also be dead now without much of a ruckus.

"Let's separate for the time being. I feel like they could be watching us." Lenny said to the group.

Then, in twos, Nightingale jumped into the shadows.

Lenny was the only one alone out of the bunch. He was also the only one that would enter the bar from the front door.

He could pass as some kind of drunkard old man entering a bar for a drink.

The others will watch the situation from the outside.

With that in mind, the team went to work and positioned themselves in some strategic places waiting for Lenny to give them the sign.

Acht sat down on top of a building not far away from there. He wasn't really going to try to work with them.

If they end up having a blood fight with hunters then that's their problem. He will only watch. But, if they attack him then they might as well dig their graves before doing that.

Lein was also sitting beside him, looking sharply at the bar, trying to see any disturbance.

"There is no movement from my side." She muttered.

Acht was bored so he also looked around but there was nothing out of the ordinary.

As they were waiting like that, a message from Lenny came.

"You can…enter."

His voice seemed to be serious…almost too serious. There was also a grave and angry tone in his voice that made most of them grimace with a frown.

Then, skillfully, they entered the bar without anyone seeing them.

The place was quiet and dark just like normal. However, there was no trace of the bartender.

"I feel a bad omen," Jack muttered as he walked to the door that led to the villa.

After entering, the group saw Lenny standing on the second floor in front of Acht's room.

The group walked up there.

"What happened, bo-" Jack wanted to ask but his voice was stuck in his throat as the scene of the room finally appeared in his eyes.

Blood. Just a huge amount of blood covered the whole room. Bits and pieces of organs and other body parts were also everywhere.

The scene was so horrific that it made Jack frown.

Then, his eyes landed on the dead body in the middle of the room.

To be fair, it was an exaggeration to call it a dead corpse since it had no resemblance to a human at all.

It was just a lump of meat stuck to the wall with blood surrounding it. There was no head, no limbs, no abdomen, and no bones at all.

However, Jack could already see that this dead body was that of the bartender. It was because some parts of his suit were still there.

'Fuck! What is this? They got him?!' Jack thought with an extremely angry expression. This was the first time Acht saw him that angry.

Everyone also had the same shocked face and the same thought.

"Dammit!!! Dammit! Those brutal fuckers!" Jack cursed loudly.

Lein looked down and shook her head. As for Torn and Weltz, they just stood there silently, not knowing what to say.

"They don't seem to have taken anything else," Lenny said.

​ Jack turned around and looked at Lenny with an angry look.

"How are you this calm, boss?! They turned him into a pitiful meat paste and you are talking about?!" He shouted and tried to walk to Lenny.

However, Torn grabbed his shoulder and shook his head as a sign to make him stop and look closely at Lenny.

Jack did that and almost instantly he located the anomaly. Lenny wasn't as calm as he seemed to be. Jack could see it clearly…his limbs that held the cane were shaking violently.
