Chapter 157: A Real Devil or An Impostor? II

Seven Sins System Chapter 157. A Real Devil or An Impostor? II

I couldn't help but feel a sense of panic wash over me. "I bet that's what the real devil will say if he's here," I quickly added, trying to suppress my panic and keep my composure as best as I could.

To my relief, the trio looked relieved, letting out a long exhale as they relaxed. "Stop scaring us. It makes us remember something unpleasant," Barry complained, shooting me a glare. I was sure he was referring to when they summoned me as the Lord of Wrath.

"Yeah. You almost made my heart stop," Ion added, placing a hand over his chest.

I smiled innocently, trying to play off my slip-up. 'Then don't play with a devil if you're scared,' I thought to myself. "Sorry, I just wanted to loosen the tension," I reasoned out loud. "Anyway, is there anything else you guys know about this cult?"

The trio exchanged glances briefly before turning back to me. "For now, that's all we know," Ion said.

"As you heard, this cult is very secretive, and we only got this information from one person. This is good enough," Darren added.

"Can I ask a couple of questions?" I asked, hoping to gather more information about this mysterious cult. Well, a train of questions, to be precise. Since I wanted to know the details.

"Sure," Barry said casually, ready to answer my questions.

"You said this cult targets young and talented warriors, right? How did you know that?" I began my long interrogation.

"John heard it from them himself. It's an exclusive cult, and they only invite certain people to join their cult," Barry explained.

"Do you know when they invited him? And why did they choose him?" I continued, trying to piece together the puzzle. If this happened after their first mission, it was possible that this was a trap to bait me.

"Last week," Barry replied.

Darren continued the story. "The cult stated that he couldn't join them without money, so they sent him back to get his wallet. Then he said he was broke and refused to steal money from friends or his parents like the cult suggested."

"So they turned him. They said he didn't deserve to be part of their cult if he couldn't even give his money as his little sacrifice," Darren said with a shrug.

I nodded, deep in thought. 'Sounds like a greedy mortal's doing,' I thought. But that was enough information for me. It was clear that this underground cult was manipulative and up to something.

"I'm surprised you're interested in this. I thought you'd laugh at this since it sounded like a scam," Barry suddenly spoke after noticing my serious expression.

"Yeah. If we hadn't seen how scared John was, we might not have believed it," Ion added. "John even believed what happened the last time was his doing. You know, the last attack that almost killed you and Miss Julia. He also blamed himself for what happened at Tall Ash Wood, but his guilt disappeared once he realized it was Mr. Theo's doing."

I nodded, taking in this new information. "Why did he think it was his fault?" I asked, feeling a sense of curiosity wash over me.

"After that event, he often fell asleep in unusual places. Sometimes in the library, toilet, or even in class. He also often found wounds on his body, all in weird places, so he's sure it's not because of his training," Barry explained.
