Chapter 488 487: You Wouldn't Understand.

Asmond tried to contact Evelyn, but there was no response even though it was her personal phone number. He then went to the law firm she owned, but there was no news about Evelyn's where which made him anxious.

After three days of trying to find information about Evelyn's whereabouts and finding nothing, he gave up. Enma was welcomed back to the Fraternity Association, and the rumors had spread about Mykel kicking Enma from the Guild Association. Although it was the truth, Asmond and the others didn't pry on it and let it go without giving any clarification.

"Eh? Do you want to work? But your condition..." Asmond looked at Enma sitting in front of his desk.

"I heard everything from Roxanne, and because of me someone died," Enma pitifully looked at her missing arm. "At least, let me carry the sin as atonement," Enma looked at Asmond with a serious expression. "Well, missing an arm won't be a problem even if I'm just working in the office since I still have one more," Enma continued with a smile.

Asmond was thinking about it since he hadn't found a replacement for him that could handle the Fraternity. But, looking at Enma's condition, it would only trouble her and not to mention not everyone accepted her back in the Fraternity, especially the higher-ups.

"Enma!" Gunnar's voice could be heard from the outside.

Both of them looked at each other for a second and then walked to the glass wall. The scariest part was Asmond's office located on the 67th floor, and Gunnar's voice was loud and clear even in a soundproof room. They both then hurriedly went to the ground floor to meet Gunnar because they were curious why she came so suddenly.

Asmond met with Rufus and the others in the lobby. They all went outside and saw Gunnar standing in front of the building's entrance with people staring at him with shocked expressions.

"Gunnar?! What are you doing here?" Enma looked shocked because she didn't know that Gunnar would come.

Gunnar looked at Enma's shoulder and shed a tear immediately. He then walked toward her, but then Roxanne blocked his path and gave him a stern look.

"What are you trying to do? You should have known that Enma is no longer in the Guild Association, so you can't ask her to come back," Roxanne said.

"Move!" Gunnar pushed Roxanne away, but Roxanne grabbed his hand and tried to stop him.

Roxanne wasn't a match for Gunnar's strength and got dragged by him. Rufus, Glen, and Silas were blocking him as well and even punched him in the face, but he didn't flinch. He then suddenly touched Enma's shoulder with the gauntlet and regenerated her arm.

"I'm here just to heal her wound, and nothing else," Gunnar said as he looked at Enma's shocked expression. "Of course, I know what happened. I got Boss' permission to come here, and that's all I wanted," Gunnar continued and smiled when he saw Enma moving her arm.

"So you're not going to ask her to come back?" Asmond asked.

"Boss' words are absolute and we are respecting his decision. It's a shame and I'm heartbroken, but I owe him the life I have right now," Gunnar answered without showing any expression.

Enma sniffled as she looked at Gunnar, and then she hugged him so tightly as if it was a goodbye.

"You know about all his dark secrets, don't you?" Roxanne asked and thought she could make Gunnar move to the Fraternity Association since Enma was there. She had planned everything in her head to persuade him.

"I know," Gunnar looked at Roxanne.

"And you're still serving a man like him? A man who slaughtered thousands of lives?" Roxanne squinted her eyes in confusion and disbelief.

"There are things you don't understand about this world, the demons, the Gods, and everything. While you guys are playing a board game, the boss is changing the world. You won't understand even if I explained it to you," Gunnar answered as he walked away. "My world and your world are already different, and it's better for you to not pry on our business anymore or the boss will change his mind," Gunnar looked at Asmond over his shoulder.

"What kind of bullshit is that? Just because you're ahead of us, you think you're all high and mighty? Fuck off," Rufus spit on the street as he glared at Gunnar.

"When was the last time the Gods paid attention to all of you? Do you think they're still putting their hope on a bunch of losers? Why do you think the Constellations are paying attention to the boss when you say he killed thousands of lives?" Gunnar turned around and asked with his eyebrow raised. "They only care about what is fun and interesting to them. In the first place, why do they need us humans to deal with demons if the Gods are powerful enough to defeat them? You won't understand even if you think really hard about it. That's why I said my world and your world are different," Gunnar continued and then left.

They were speechless because those questions had been lingering in their heads. They were curious about what did Mykel find and what he was planning to do by doing all that. Asmond tried to ask Mara about what it was, but Mara didn't respond. In the first place, Mara only spoke to him once through the system when she warned him about Mykel.

"Thanks to that bastard I really want to go and clear the tower," Rufus sighed with his arms crossed. "Hey, Asmond, let's not waste our time here and tell the others to gather and clear the tower already. We have been doing nothing for the past three days. That lawyer is dead already," Rufus continued and looked at Asmond with an annoyed expression.

"Go. I'll handle the association," Enma said to Asmond.

Asmond kept his eyes on Gunnar for a moment, and then he looked at the others as he nodded his head with understanding.

(In the Empyrean World)

"Until when are you going to idle like this? It has been two months and you barely made any more," Luciel looked at Mykel standing on the edge of the island and looked at Elena playing with Spenta, Angra, and Jormungand.

"I'm not idling, I just put the second last piece in the puzzle," Mykel answered.

"Second last piece? So there's still one piece left? Are you planning on dragging this out again even though we already have everything in our hands?" Luciel stood next to Mykel and she sounded displeased.

"The last piece will be in your hand," Mykel looked at Luciel with his eyes squinted because of the chill wind that struck his face.

"Me? What do you mean?" Luciel raised her eyebrow.

"I have sent my team to clear the rest of the towers except the Lucifer Tower. On the next break out, the only towers left that will still be standing are Abaddon, Behemoth, Mahazael, and Beelzebub. With that being said, I want you to send the Demon Lords from the ninetieth floor of those towers. I want you to destroy and obliterate Asmond's forces until they can no longer clear a tower," Mykel explained.

"Why? Is there a reason you want to go to that extent to kill them?" Luciel looked so confused.

"I need to take those towers and clear them, including the Lucifer Tower. That's the last preparation that I'm going to need," Mykel stared at Luciel with a cold expression.

Luciel was baffled and didn't know what to say, but then Lucifer and Bhatmelec appeared behind Mykel.

"Just believe in him. We both know what he's planning to do and it's necessary," Lucifer said.

"This again," Luciel scoffed and she sounded so annoyed. "You're always like this. Keeping everything a secret from me even though I'm the one who helped you the most to reach this moment," Luciel gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

Mykel, Lucifer, and Bhatmelec stared at her without showing any expression.

"Do you want to know everything? Do you think you can handle it?" Mykel asked as he stood in front of Luciel.

"What's the point of asking me that? Do I look like someone who would stay quiet and listen?" Luciel asked back and gave a stern look at Mykel.

"Then I'll let you see it for yourself," Mykel snapped his fingers and made the area around them in the [Nigh-Omnipotence] skill.
