Vol. 4 - Chapter 28 - Hiding from the [Hermit]



Basement of a house in the suburbs of third district

"Why, out of all people, that annoying person is in the imperial capital?"

Astraea was bitting at her nails at the information she didn't want to believe hearing from a puppet she received through torture.

Laguna's ox branch, One of the puppet organizations, was destroyed by a single black haired young boy. Anyway, it's just a puppet, nothing more than a small fry without any power, so it's fine. The problem was in that black haired young boy.

According to the puppet, the young man had fierce looks in his eyes that could make a child cry with just a glance, and a cross mark was engraved in his left eye. There's only one person who fulfill this peculiar characteristic.

One of the seven Brave 一一 Hermit. The right hand of the Greed and one of the council prided themselves on cleaning. Nine out of ten, he's an agent sent by the council.

"Repeat it once again"

Anyway, making any move indiscriminately will have the opposite effect when stared at by Hermit. Without causing any upheaval, she can only observe.

"The problem is Grey...... "

In this half year, she carefully observed [Grey] and have only seen him using his ability once. She analyzed he's only a slightly stronger pseudo-Brave. Someone with that standard can be killed anytime. The top priority right now is to hide from Hermit.

The incident this time is most likely Hermit's causing it. If Astraea doesn't make a move in several years, he would misunderstood that he made an error in his guess by himself.

"Not lucky. My luck is out recently it seems"

While spitting out her complaints, Astraea left the bloody basement with quick steps.

Immediately after, a huge explosion echoes throughout the suburbs of the third district.
