Chapter 188: The Devil Trial
Seven Sins System Chapter 188. The Devil Trial
I held the phone tightly to my ear, waiting for him to reveal the details of my trial, but his silence echoed in my ear. I could feel my patience wearing thin as the seconds ticked by. "Are you going to say it or not?" I finally spoke up, my voice laced with impatience. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
There was a moment of hesitation before my father responded, his voice quick and rushed. "I will. I will," he assured me. But his tone had taken on a gloomier edge, and I could feel a sense of foreboding. It was clear that he actually didn't want to say it.
"It's just that I'm not sure," he added, his words weighed down by uncertainty.
Upon his statement, I could feel my temper flaring up, my irritation growing by the second. "Seriously?! You've thrown me into dreadful drills before. Don't give me that shit now!" I snapped, the anger in my voice ringing out.
After the calamity, he was the one who threw me into intense training. I almost died a dozen times and he didn't flinch or even have mercy on me. He even kept pushing me to keep going, or harsher punishment was waiting for me. Then now, why was he suddenly unsure about my trial?
I was no stranger to battle. I had fought and won thousands of battles, and I knew every strategy, and every move to make when the battle wasn't going in my favor. So his hesitation was making me uneasy.
"Trust me. This trial is different from before," he warned, his words hesitant and heavy. "This will be more personal. You will fight with yourself and face your inner fear. I'm afraid..." His words trailed off, and the line went silent once again.
My father's hesitation had me on edge, and as the silence stretched on, my mind raced with possibilities. When he finally spoke, his words only added to my growing unease. "So you are afraid that I will fall into insanity," I said, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.
"More and less..." he muttered, his voice heavy with regret.
I let out a deep sigh, unable to deny the truth of his words. "Just say it. Let me decide," I said, my tone much calmer than before.
There was another short silence, his hesitation palpable even through the phone. But finally, he spoke again, his voice low and serious. "Ever heard of Echoing Hall?" he asked.
A frown creased my forehead at the mention of the name. "That torture hall?" I asked, my voice tight with apprehension.
My lips pressed together, regret flooding through me. 'Oops, I slipped out,' I admitted to myself, knowing that I had planned to ask him, but not directly like this.
I tried to calm him down, "Let's say a friend of mine accidentally mentioned this to me."
His tone became firm as he asked, "From six of them, which one?" Of course, he meant the other seven lords of sins.
I tried to negotiate, "Just answer what happened."
His answer was emphatic as he replied, "No."
I stood my ground, not willing to let him off the hook so easily. "Then I also won't say what I found here," I threatened, not willing to back down.
