Chapter 173: Thank You for Volunteering

Edmund became cautious as he couldn't comprehend why Madam Evie could still be smiling when she was surrounded.

Evie didn't care about this nobody anymore and glanced at the three women who were preparing to fight them with their best.

Alas, Evie had no intention of letting them join this fight. She flicked her hand and some white powder went to them, causing them to become drowsy.

"E-Evie?" Angela mumbled softly before dropping down to the ground followed by Daphne Camellia.

Morgan Pelora gritted her teeth to remain conscious and she stared at Evie, hoping for an answer on why she wanted them asleep.

Evie shook her head on her determination and vanished from her position before making a chopping motion at Morgan Pelora's neck.

Morgan Pelora got hit and lost consciousness as she dropped to the ground, laying beside Angela and Daphne Camellia.

Edmund and his men became dumbfounded by her action. They were preparing for a long battle since the three women weren't easy targets but Evie did them a big favor by putting them to sleep.

Edmund smiled wickedly as he exclaimed, "Haha, I didn't know Madam Evie is that eager to enjoy a night of luxury with us."

Edmund believed that Evie was helping him out by allowing him to capture them easily without raising a single hand.

Evie smiled in amusement on their brain cell that doesn't have an ounce of cleverness in it. They were an underground gang in the Jade Kingdom who had to listen to other noble families so it was understandable that they were easily manipulated and tricked.

Edmund and the men advanced slowly, hoping to get their hands on the women who were currently asleep on the ground. They were brimmed with lust when three harmless women were in the open for them to do as they pleased.

Meanwhile, Evie took out a chair from her spatial ring as she sat down on it, crossing her legs, which caused Edmund to have his little brother rising upward from the view in between her legs.

Edmund couldn't handle it any longer as he leaped toward Evie, only to face a barrier and crash into it.

Edmund was knocked back by the transparent barrier and his nose started bleeding slightly from the impact. 

His expression changed and roared, "Madam Evie, what the hell are you still struggling for?"

She was all alone to fend them off now so he saw zero chances of her escaping despite putting up a barrier since he was caught off guard in the beginning.

His men tried to cast their magic spell to destroy the barrier but there was zero damage on it with Evie sitting in the center calmly while sipping some tea.

Sometime later, the space around the sky started to crack open with the ground shaking from the fluctuation and a man appeared in front of them.

Edmund turned pale when he realized who the person that came out from the space.

"S-Stuart," Edmund called out with a stuttering voice and his men also stared at Stuart with a terrified expression that they stopped attacking the barrier that Evie placed.

Stuart ignored Edmund and glanced around to look for Evie. When he saw her in the center, sipping some tea in a chair, he vanished from his position, reappearing outside of the barrier and knelt down with a revered expression.

"Stuart deserves punishment for causing some disturbance to you because I failed in my duty," Stuart said in a respected tone, completely different from his tone of speech when dealing with the participant on the floor.

Edmund took a step back after hearing his tone of speech and sneaked a glance at Evie who seems to have a profound aura surrounding her now. 

He wanted to run away but his legs wouldn't obey him because Stuart has restricted their movement completely after receiving a summon from Evie who held a dissatisfied tone.

Stuart couldn't want any more than to twist Edmund's neck for causing him more trouble than needed. First, it was Daemon Kaiso who decided to offend Evie and now it's another group of people that tried to vent their lust toward Evie.

They don't even know the meaning of death is luxurious when they decide to act against Evie whom he feared the most in his life.

Evie finished sipping her tea slowly at her own pace before smiling at Stuart. 

"Stuart, I remember giving you an order to start killing the useless people so I won't have to deal with them right," Evie said in a calm manner, which sent a chill in Stuart's body.

Stuart started shaking his body and stuttered, "Y-Y-Yes, this lowly Stuart remembered about your order."

"Then why do I have to see this person?" Evie raised her finger and pointed at Edmund.

Edmund felt like it was death god pointing a finger at his life and hurriedly knelt down before banging his head down to ask for mercy.

There was no way he would have known that Evie was connected to this farce that brought them all into this unknown place. Not to mention, Stuart's prowess was immeasurable and as long as Evie ordered, Stuart can easily finish them off in an instant.

Meanwhile, Stuart thought Evie wanted his death and vanished from his position, opening his claw to try and finish off Edmund for creating this trouble.

"Stop," Evie said, and Stuart stopped his claw, just a mere millimeter away from killing Edmund. Edmund didn't dare to move even a little bit, in fear that the claw from Stuart would pierce his neck.

Stuart glanced at Evie briefly before moving his claw away from Edmund and waited in the side for further order from Evie.

Edmund heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Evie, "Thank you for sparing my life, Madam Evie. I was a fool and overstepped my boundaries. From now on, this Edmund from the Red Jackal is at your command."

"Is that so? Then I shall thank you for volunteering." Evie exclaimed cheerfully and Stuart shuddered briefly as he finally understood the reason for his summon.
