Chapter 142: Keeping the Promise

"I-I don't wa-want you. Any other person b-but you..."

Alwyn stammered, avoiding eye contact with Kaisen. He was understandably scared.

After all, he had spat on the man and then sprayed his baby batter on his pretty face.

That memory was engraved in his mind, especially as a man.

"Oh, you don't like me anymore? How can you? After all the intimacy we shared, how can you ever forget that, am I right?"

Kaisen teased, smirking at the red-faced Alwyn.

"..."

The poor elf didn't respond.

He knew what kind of monster Kaisen was. This guy had even fucked Alice right in front of him, the woman who was supposed to be his future concubine.

He could've had all that, but Kaisen kicked it away. He would never forgive him for that.

"Guys, did you hear that? He wants someone other than me to hear him. The little boy is scared, apparently. Does any of you—"

"No!!"

Kaisen mockingly asked his friends, but they all immediately and simultaneously shot him down before he could even finish his sentence.

"Oh? Poor Alwyn. They don't even want to be near you, you kidnapping piece of shit."

Alwyn's anger and humiliation were boiling over.

He wanted to curse and scream, but something inside him prevented him from doing so. His eyes were brimming with tears; his pride and ego were shattered.

He felt humiliated like a dog.

"El-Elfie. I want her—"

"Elfie isn't here."

Alwyn tried to ask for his slave, but Kaisen shot that down quickly.

Kaisen's smile was replaced with a stern, angry look that made Alwyn tremble.

He couldn't do anything in this position at all.

Only his head was free, while the rest of his body was trapped inside this black substance.

"When did you fight the boss, again?"

Again, Kaisen didn't let the man finish his words.

"I... uh... the Night Shades who kidnapped me were smaller than me. I kinda physically overpowered them and ran away, thinking I found a safe room, but it turns out, it wasn't."

For the first time, Alwyn looked like he was telling the truth, but how much truth was there in his words? Kaisen couldn't be sure.

"And you survived, actually? More lies?"

Kaisen raised an eyebrow skeptically.

"No, never... Just let me tell the full story."

Alwyn pleaded.

"Alright. Just say the words, and you're free from this black goo."

Alwyn's face lit up at those words. He eagerly recounted his encounter with the boss monster, detailing how he fought and eventually escaped.

Kaisen listened, nodding occasionally. After Alwyn finished his tale, Kaisen kept his word and ripped the black wax from Alwyn's body.

Alwyn collapsed to the ground, crawling like a prisoner freed after twenty years.

He turned back and looked at Kaisen with gratitude.

After everything he had done to him, Alwyn was stunned that the man actually kept his promise.

For a brief moment, Alwyn felt a twinge of guilt, but he quickly decided that escaping was his best option.

He groggily stood up, his legs screaming in pain from being tightly wrapped in the black wax.

He had barely taken a step when Kaisen materialized in front of him, a sinister smile stretching across his face.

"Wh-what?"

Alwyn stammered, a sinking feeling settling in his gut.

"I said I'd free you from the wax, right? I did exactly that."

Kaisen replied, his grin widening.

"But I never said anything about letting you go, did I? Ke ke ke..."

It was a moment of dread for the elf, but a moment of triumph for Kaisen and his friends.
