BXBX NOVEL Chapter 23 Do You Think I Don't Know?
Drakion Vlad in the game would be one of the characters you get a free copy
Unlike most characters, he doesn\'t have a tragic backstory. He has always lived a life of luxury since birth and is considered a genius for awakening his powers at the age of eleven, being able to control flames. However, because of this, he never really trained as he never needed to. He only seeks to have fun, even at the expense of others.
And at this very moment, that traitor is in front of me.
He has red hair and eyes. His dark hair, in a deep shade of red, cascades down his shoulders, accentuating the intensity of his crimson gaze.
Dressed in an impeccable black noble attire with blue details, his outfit, made of fine and luxurious fabrics, consists of a long and fitted jacket that highlights his athletic figure. The skillfully sewn blue accents along the edges and cuffs add a contrasting touch of color to his attire.
Sporting a black silk shirt, whose smooth texture subtly stands out beneath the jacket. A perfectly tied dark blue tie adds a refined and sophisticated air to the ensemble. Stylish black trousers fall straight to the polished black leather shoes.
\' A typical arrogant noble \' I thought, catching his attention with my hand.
And now we\'re in this situation, with his head pressed against my desk, while he, not knowing what to do, just repeats the same phrase.
"Master, what are you doing? It hurts, you know? Hahaha."
Slowly, I pronounced three words.
"Eye... Of... Star."
At that moment, I was able to see, for mere three seconds or less, Drakion\'s expression turn into terror, but quickly he returned to normal, seeming to have a talent for acting.
"What are you talking about? Is it some sort of code?" he asked.
Holding his hair, I pulled his head up, making him look directly into my eyes.
"Be honest with me, okay?"
"But I am being honest, master. I don\'t know what you\'re talking about."
I brought my head close to his and whispered in his ear.
"I\'m looking forward to that party you promised me, Fiona."
Until this moment, Drakion had only made one small mistake by reacting to information that only the two of us knew. Otherwise, one could say that I was just abusing my position as guild master.
But upon hearing something he had said himself the day before yesterday, he completely broke his professionalism.
"My God, master, were you deceived or something? I swear I don\'t know anything."
His expression hadn\'t changed, but now it was noticeable that his eyes, which previously showed confusion, were full of tears. His lips trembled, and his body seemed to have cooled down. Before, he was just pretending to be scared, but now he was really feeling it.
The expression he had shown for less than three seconds was now frozen.
"Do I look like a fool?"
I stood up still holding Drakion\'s hair and threw him forward, pushing him away from my table.
Activating the Divine Hand and covering my legs, I appeared next to him, now thrown to the ground, and stepped near his face.
"I\'m going to ask you something, answer honestly."
"Go ahead, master, I\'ll answer whatever you want."
\' Still maintaining the arrogant pose, he seems more interesting to me than the Drakion I saw in the game \' I thought, squatting down.
Drakion looked at me apprehensively. He didn\'t know what was going on. Somehow, the plan had been discovered, but if he becomes a double agent, his death will be certain.
\' I just wanted to have some fun. How did I end up like this? \' Drakion thought, while holding himself back from showing any sign of fear, but it was already too late.
"Drakion Vlad, do you know my abilities?"
This simple question was enough to break Drakion\'s mindset. All his arrogant demeanor disappeared, and his watery eyes started to overflow, but Drakion didn\'t cry, he just laughed.
"Hahaha."
He continued laughing until he began to wipe the tears off his face.
"So, you knew from the beginning?"
Immobile and smiling, I stared at him.
\' I thought meeting Fiona would be a stroke of luck, but it turned out to be the trigger for my death \' Drakion thought, looking at the smile that, for some reason, conveyed a sense of discomfort.
"You did this because you wanted fun, right?"
Without giving Drakion a chance to respond, I grabbed his neck, lifting him up and keeping him suspended with his feet just a few inches above the ground.
"Well then, let\'s have some fun."
Drakion looked at me with an almost lifeless gaze, starting to struggle and trying to free himself in every way possible, kicking me in the chest and attempting other moves, but now the only thing that would have an effect were his flames. However, he couldn\'t use them in the guild, as he needed to maintain his disguise, or else he would be killed in a much worse way than suffocation.
Four minutes and a few seconds passed, and Drakion would emerge from the room as if nothing had happened, passing by Freytan, who was leaning against the corridor wall.
"Have a good day, Lady Freytan."
With a smile on his face, Drakion began to distance himself, while Freytan hurried into my office.
"What just happened?" she asked.
Wiping the gauntlet in my left hand with a cloth, I replied, "I simply gave him a special mission."
I started wiping the gauntlet in my right hand, and in the meantime, Freytan looked at me suspiciously.
"Are you serious? Did you really give him a special mission?"
I stood up, looking at the gauntlets as if they were brand new, and quickly pointed at Freytan.
"And just like him, I have a super special mission for you."
With a smile, Freytan touched the hilt of the Sakura sword, causing small purple and violet sparks to emanate around her.
"And what would that be? And what about the payment?"
I walked past Freytan, heading towards the door, and as I left and found myself in the corridor, I spoke.
"Take care of the guild. I\'ll go train."
"Huh? What did you say?"
When Freytan blinked, I was no longer in the corridor but on the first floor of the guild, looking at the counter. I saw Amanda looking at her own hand, bored to death, while Dealer stood upright in the center of the counter.
"Oh, master, are you leaving already?"
"Eh? Where are you going?" Amanda spoke with a smile on her face, which quickly disappeared as she felt the pressure emanating from Dealer.
Hearing the whispers of the adventurers near the stairs, I pointed upwards.
"I\'m sorry to say this, but I\'m going to train, so I\'ll go alone, and that includes you, Amanda. Stay here."
Amanda was sitting in a chair behind the counter, with her back to everyone, including me.
\' Well, whatever. I\'ll give her attention later. Now it\'s time to test them \' I thought, activating the Divine Hand and passing through everyone without giving them a chance to stop me, appearing outside the guild.
