Chapter 555 Exposed?
Far away at the temporary base of the Red Dawn Cult, the atmosphere was very tense. General Amon, one of the six powerful generals of the cult, sat on a throne at the center of a dimly lit room.
The floor of the room was barely visible as it was covered by the people kneeling on the ground, even without anything forcing them.
While some other places were covered with unrecognizable things and materials, some of those who knelt before him did not dare to glance around but kept looking at the general from the corner of their eyes.
Only the people who have entirely incorporated the curse inside their soul were able to show emotions, which made some of the people in the room appear as if they were nothing but mindless puppets.@@@@
"Looks like we need to gather more people and rebuild our forces." Originally, Amon believed that his force would grow so much that the other five generals could only look up to him. But after the constant meddling of an unknown sect, not only was he nowhere near his original goal, but he was also starting to lose his forces.
"Benevolent Guardian Sect," Amon muttered in a playful tone, his expression hidden behind the mask on his face. His hands moved as they tinkered with what looked like the pale-looking arm of a puppet.
But a few people who could show emotions in the room sweated upon seeing the arm. They knew the arm was anything but fake; after all, it belonged to one of their own.
Amon did not seem to be aware of their reaction, or maybe he was aware, but he chose to ignore them and continued to focus on his work. Amon continued working on his new prized gem, as he liked to call them.
Just then...
He sensed something!
The pressure radiating from Amon caused the people kneeling on the ground to groan in pain and cough up blood. Sounds of their bones cracking and their internal organs twisting echoed in the room. Seeing their state, Amon chuckled coldly but took his pressure back. "Oops, looks like I lost control for a second there~"
Shifting his face back to the wisp, Amon spat coldly, "But I truly wonder, who was it that dared to destroy my precious materials and tools."
The wisp pulsed, reacting to Amon's words as it began to unravel its message. The room grew colder as the memories of Wei Rui's final moments began to play out before him, visible only to Amon's keen senses.
The images were fragmented and chaotic, a swirling maelstrom of fear, pain, and desperation. He could see flashes of a battle, the faces of opponents who were mere blurs, and the overwhelming sense of dread that had consumed Wei Rui in her final moments.
One of the faces became clear, as this figure had the most prominent effect on the memories. It was the face of a very beautiful blue-haired woman who dealt with the whole team alone. Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
"To think there is such a fierce beauty in this empire, why haven't I heard about her before?" Amon's smile grew broader as he sifted through the memories. He relished the emotions, the fear, and the hopelessness that Wei Rui had felt, drinking them in like a fine wine.
"This woman... she dealt with the whole group simply by relying on pure control of the laws." As the realization struck Amon, something inside of him snapped. 'I will have so much fun breaking someone like her~'
Almost instantly, the coldness in the room vanished; Amon was more amused by the mysterious expert than angry. Just then, the scene shifted once more, and Amon saw a small ball of light being planted on the young man without being discovered by anyone.
This scene caused the smirk behind the mask to widen, shifting into a feral grin.
"Those who oppose my lord and take away my materials are all my enemies, and I have a pretty special shelf for my enemies." Saying that, Amon caressed the armrest of the throne he was sitting on. Soon his fingers resumed their work, delicately manipulating the severed arm of the puppet he was crafting. From the start to the end, not a single subordinate in the room dared to make a single noise and silently endured the pain.
