Chapter 170: Cuckolding Karsus (Part 3)
A few seemingly weak women were enjoying a delicious meal in the hall.
Violet praised Angelica’s cooking skills. Even Ekaterina, who had always considered Angelica a rival, had to admit that the gap between their culinary abilities was even greater than the gap between their strengths.
If the Crimson Valkyrie were to cook, the plate would only contain charred, black lumps.
After these days of proper meals, Karen’s malnourished state had improved slightly, her skin and hair regaining some of their luster, but she was still thin. This wasn’t something that could be changed in a short time.
Suddenly, Violet, who was drinking strawberry juice, stopped and frowned slightly.
“Master Violet, don’t you like the strawberry juice?” Angelica asked cautiously, “There’s also apple juice and orange juice…”
Angelica wouldn’t act so subserviently even in front of Qin Chu, her true master. But Violet was different. Angelica loved Qin Chu, but she respected Violet.
“No…” Violet smiled, “Ange’s cooking is great, both the food and the juice… It’s just… a little bug is approaching.”
A little bug?
Ekaterina and Athena reacted the fastest. They almost simultaneously put down their knives and forks, their expressions turning serious.
Athena disliked Violet. She didn’t know why, it was just an instinctive aversion. But even she had to admit that Violet was very strong, far stronger than her.
Facing Violet, Athena even felt an unfathomable sense of dread, similar to when she faced Saint Monique.
The “little bug” Violet mentioned was definitely not just a little bug.
“Let’s go greet our esteemed guest. We can’t be impolite. The food shouldn’t get cold too quickly,” Violet stood up with a smile, stretched her long arms lazily, and walked towards the door.
The others quickly put down their knives and forks and followed.
“Karen, eat slowly.”
Only Karen remained, looking at their retreating figures with a confused expression, seemingly not understanding what was happening.
But this wasn’t something important to her. She lowered her head and continued to eat the rice in her porcelain bowl… For Karen, who was often hungry, nothing was more important than food.
Violet wasn’t in a hurry. Her movements were graceful and leisurely, not at all like the proper way to greet a guest, more like taking a stroll in her own courtyard.
As soon as they reached the gate, Ekaterina and Athena looked up.
Angelica and Anastasia were a bit slower.
Just this scene showed that Angelica and Anastasia’s recent training had yielded results. The gap between them and Ekaterina and Athena was narrowing.
A streak of crimson, like a meteor, streaked across the night sky, trailing a long tail of flames as it plummeted towards the residence.
It was a crimson spear.
A figure of the same color could be seen in the distance behind the spear, clearly the one who threw it.
The spear was incredibly fast, even the sound of it tearing through the air lagged behind.
The Blood and Bone Knight Karsus’s eye sockets glowed with excitement… Qin Chu, your time has come! He was so powerful now, invincible!
Well, it seemed Qin Chu wasn’t home, but it didn’t matter. Killing his women was the same…
Especially that giantess.
Seeing that bitch, a strong killing intent surged within Karsus.
Although his mind was in chaos, his memories fragmented and disordered, he still clearly remembered how that woman had mercilessly beaten him to the ground and trampled on his head, how she had slammed him against the ground like a rag doll…
Humiliation!
Utter humiliation!
Woman, you’ll be the first.
And those two bitches, Ekaterina and Athena, his former teammates, were now with the enemy, traitors! Unforgivable.
After killing that giantess, it would be their turn.
Karsus’s gaze was fixed on the spear he had thrown. He was confident that this attack would destroy the entire residence.
“True Word Spell!”
His lips moved silently.
Violet, who had just reached the gate, tapped her toes, and her body disappeared with a whoosh, reappearing in the sky dozens of meters away. Her slender fingers shot out, catching the sharp spearhead.
Her movements were as elegant as a goddess descending from the heavens.
Using the spear’s powerful momentum, she spun gracefully in mid-air, her skirt fluttering.
With a whoosh, the crimson spear flew back the way it came.
The spear’s own momentum, combined with Violet’s power, made its speed even more terrifying than before. The entire spear shaft trembled violently, as if leaping through the air. In an instant, it appeared before Karsus’s chest.
With a hiss, the spear pierced through his chest.
Even the armor formed from solidified blood couldn’t stop it.
The violent impact tore a large hole in Karsus’s chest, shattering several ribs. His tall body was sent flying backwards, disappearing into the distance.
He had arrived arrogantly, but he was sent flying pathetically.
He didn’t even have time to utter a single word.
Violet landed gracefully from the sky, clapping her hands as if brushing off dust. “Alright, let’s continue our meal. The food shouldn’t be cold yet…”
Ekaterina and Athena exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
That knight in crimson armor had been incredibly ferocious. Although they hadn’t actually fought him, they could both sense that he was stronger than them… If the two of them fought him alone, it would probably take several hours, and they would most likely lose.
But against Violet… that was it?
It seemed that this woman’s strength was even greater than they had expected.
“Who was that knight?” Athena asked, frowning.
“Can’t you even recognize your former teammate? That was Karsus!” Violet said leisurely, a smile playing on her lips, “He has been completely corrupted by the power of the Evil God, just like the Grand Prince before. He’s no longer human.”
Although she had already guessed it, hearing the name still made Athena’s heart tremble.
Wasn’t Karsus imprisoned in the Holy See’s dungeon? When did he escape? And he had become so twisted, his strength even greater than before.
Suddenly, Athena seemed to realize something, “Could it be that he came…”
“That’s right, he came for Qin Chu,” Violet nodded.
“Then we…”
“Don’t worry, Qin Chu isn’t as fragile as you think. He also needs to stretch his muscles a bit… But we should still inform him.”
…
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The fierce wind roared in his ears.
He tried to steady himself, but he couldn’t.
His limbs flailed wildly in the air, his back crashing against trees, snapping them in two. He didn’t know how far he had flown before finally coming to a stop.
His bones felt like they were about to fall apart.
After a long time, Karsus finally struggled to get up from the ground.
He glared at Qin Chu’s residence with hatred and resentment, then turned and left.
It wasn’t that he was afraid.
If he went all out, he was confident that he might have a chance of taking that giantess down with him.
But his true target was Qin Chu, and he didn’t want to waste his energy on these insignificant people.
This wasn’t cowardice, it was a strategic retreat.
…
Meanwhile, Qin Chu was carrying Norma towards a hotel in the noble district.
Norma subconsciously clutched his arm, and they walked in silence.
The atmosphere was ambiguous and oppressive.
“Sorry…” Qin Chu suddenly spoke.
Norma was confused, not understanding why he was apologizing.
Qin Chu said quietly, “There’s something I have to confess to you.”
“When I went to see Augustus before, I only mentioned the possibility of releasing Karsus. After Augustus refused, I didn’t really plead with him.”
At least this part was true.
Norma’s face paled slightly, but she remained calm, “Why?”
“Because I feel that something is very wrong with Karsus. His situation is very bad.”
“Are you worried that he will attack you again after he’s released?”
Qin Chu shook his head, “No, that’s not the reason. Miss Norma, this is not me boasting, but it’s not so easy for Karsus to kill me now. I’m worried about you.”
“After seeing Karsus, I could sense that his mind has been greatly affected since his imprisonment. You know he’s already tainted by the power of darkness, and when a person’s mental state is unstable, it’s also when they’re most vulnerable to sinister influences.”
“Miss Norma, you’re a good girl, but Karsus isn’t. His body has been infiltrated by the Evil God, just like the Grand Prince before. Those corrupted by the Evil God’s aura will, under its influence, hurt the people they care about most. You will definitely be hurt by Karsus, even killed.”
“And this kind of corruption is almost irreversible.”
“Sorry, my words might be cruel, but Karsus is truly beyond saving.”
“Be angry if you want.”
Norma wasn’t angry. A look of sadness appeared on her face. Actually, she had already considered this possibility, but she still didn’t want to give up.
After a long time, Norma finally spoke softly, “Mr. Qin, are you really the Hero? The First Hero, Jie Luo, always talked about saving everyone, but you’re different…”
Qin Chu smiled self-deprecatingly, “Me? I’m not that kind of Hero. I will only save those who are important to me, those I care about…”
“As for those filthy and disgusting creatures, in my eyes, they’re not even worthy of being called human.”
“The commoners you killed clearly don’t fall into this category. What do you think they were trying to do?”
Norma naturally understood, her body trembling slightly.
“Their souls are already rotten, filled with filth. They are beyond saving.”
“But Norma, you’re different. You’re kind… Kindness is not a mistake, but being kind to everyone is.”
After a pause, Qin Chu continued, “Because some people… no, many people, most people in this world, are not worthy of such kindness…”
“Those men who appeared in your room today, what do you think would have happened to you if you didn’t have power? A fate worse than death. They would have shown you what hell truly is!”
“Was that the first time they did such a thing? Do you know how many innocent girls they have violated before you?”
“If I hadn’t killed them today, how many more victims do you think there would be?”
“When they were about to commit such bestial acts, they were no longer worthy of being called human, just pure beasts.”
“Sometimes, killing is not just killing, it’s also saving…”
Norma felt her worldview being shaken.
“Do you think those people can still be taught, saved?” Qin Chu understood Norma’s thoughts, and he smiled, “Yes, it’s possible. Maybe one day they will repent and decide to become good people.”
“But it’s too late.”
“This world is far worse than you imagine, filled with too much filth. You don’t have the time to save, redeem, and change everyone one by one… The easiest way is to just clean up all the trash.”
“You have great power… This is your talent. You don’t have to be afraid of your power. On the contrary, you have to face it. You can use your power to protect the people you care about.”
Norma had always been avoiding her power.
Although her mentor, Anthony, had also been teaching her to learn to control and utilize her power, why did the same words, coming from different people, give Norma a completely different feeling?
As Norma pondered, Qin Chu had already carried her to the Sykes Hotel.
This was the most luxurious hotel in the noble district.
Almost all the scandalous news in the tabloids was exposed here, because this place provided couples with the most comfortable environment, all kinds of seductive clothing, and some…toys.
Under the ambiguous gaze of the waitress, Norma blushed deeply, but Qin Chu was thick-skinned, “Hello, beautiful lady, please get us a room…”
“Ah, please don’t misunderstand, this lady needs a place to rest. I won’t be staying,” Qin Chu emphasized.
The waitress’s expression became even more ambiguous, “You are truly an elegant gentleman.”
…
Outside the Sykes Hotel.
A figure stood silently under the streetlight, his body trembling slightly.
His eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
Under the magic lamplight, the green light from the leaves cast a greenish hue on Karsus’s head.
He was being cuckolded.
They… They actually went to get a room?
