NTR: I became a noble?

Chapter 52: Royal forces



John slowly explained what happened next in his mission, the details on how he escaped from the maniac of a man and, how he had finally escaped from that situation.

"That\'s what happened and i delivered a killing blow to that guy before escaping with some of the potions i could find."

"It\'s good that you were able to resolve the problem on your own."

Terias praised his butler for his quick thinking and decision making.

"Yes sir, after escaping from that shop I had found a carriage for a ride back, while I used the various potions I had bagged from the shop on myself." John answered to Terias

\'Wait a second, John said that he delivered a killing blow to that man, but i did not see two bodies.\'

According to the words from the butler, he delivered a killing blow before leaving the stranger on death\'s door, but when Terias used his skill to get the scan of the area, he only saw one body on the ground, not two.

In total, there were two human bodies in the room. one of them was lying still on the ground which Terias assumed to be the shop owner, while the other was running away with some of the potions which matched with John\'s record of his escape.

But there was one thing missing, the body of the other guy, the maniac who best John.

"Did the other guy escape when i arrived?"

Terias recalled there was only one body in there and the other person was escaping, that meant that the guy who he helped by stalling for time was actually the culprit who beat John.

"There was only one body in the scene of crime, what do you think about this? " Terias asked his butler thinking perhaps he missed a detail.

John did not seem surprised, he smiled and began to talk.

"It was the same as I had expected, that guy is really a great alchemist, although he\'s not very sane at the moment. "

"What do you mean by it\'s the same as you had expected? Do you happen to know him? "

Terias asked, curious about the information or assumptions John had made.

"Do you remember the young alchemist I was talking about, Sir? The one I talked about to youyou a year ago. I was supposed to recruit him but he was invited by the Royal Academy and I dropped the idea altogether. "

John briefly mentioned the peculiar event but seeing that Terias had no idea what he was referring to, John gave more details about the day back then.

Terias nodded to John, as if telling him to continue with his explanation.

"That guy was proven dead but was actually killed by the shop owner for some reason, he somehow survived and he came back for revenge.

Coincidentally, the alchemist arrived today just after I finished my mission. It is no surprise that he escaped from that critical blow.

He had come back stronger and the source of that strength is one of those methods from the evil cult. "

John finished his explanation after making sure that Terias fully understood him.

"I see, no wonder he escaped. " Terias said to John in realisation. He had not gotten memories from the previous Viscount but he could still understand the context of the story.

The alchemist was now a prey for the devil hunters. Since, the incident happened today, by tomorrow the Royal forces would be here to hunt that guy.

Terias had collected a good amount of knowledge in the notebook ability. There were many mentions of a squad from Royal forces also known as devil hunters, hunting for the people who performed rituals.

There were special reasons as to why only the Royal forces were tasked to do this.

The methods and access of those rituals could not be spread and thus it was only mandated by the one and only Royal forces.

"I suppose, the next task should be delayed for a few weeks. Once those devil hunters arrive, it would become hard for us to remain anonymous and not be linked for the killings."

John made a suggestion to Terias, in hopes of approval.

"It doesn\'t matter anymore, we have made enough commotion. There is no need to risk ourselves, the warning has been sent already.

Also, those nobles are the ones who should be more scared of their secrets leaking, not us. " Terias smirked as he imagined the fear and fury the arrival of demon hunters would bring to those wretched beings.

Devil hunters were a squadron from the Royal forces, it had around a hundred members. Each of those members was a ki warrior with sufficient strength.

Their squad was further divided into smaller groups of ten to twelve for efficiency. Those groups each was headed by a level three ki warrior.

But this was not the reason for their terrible reputation in the eyes of noble. The reason for the fear among the nobles was the principal followed by the devil hunters.

They operated on the principal that the unfair and unjust nobles created most of the problems and in most cases it was the nobles who actually had access to and performed those rituals.

This type of thinking had created a bias in the squad\'s thinking which made it extra difficult for the nobles to cooperate with the squad.

Since there was sign of a crazy but strong man who had killed someone, the arrival of one of those groups from the devil hunters was inevitable.

Although Terias had wanted to spend his quality time together with some of his girls and increase his lifespan, he had decided to hold off doing this, at least for a few weeks before the devil hunters left.

Terias had decided to spend his time training himself for the upcoming battles.

He could spend some time with Tina and even Maya in the spare time he had.

On another floor in the mansion

Servant J on the other hand was going hard on his search for evidence.

He had already found the letter which had been delivered to Lisa by her personal attendant. The words written on it was clear, someone was blackmailing Lisa with evidence of her cheating.

The surprising fact was that the man she was accused of cheating with was none other than himself, Servant J.
