Chapter 108: Can I Go on a Date With You?
Speak of the devil.
Loseweisse was too tired to reprimand Karsus anymore. She had no energy left and felt that even talking until her lips wore out wouldn’t be of any use to this idiot.
She just hoped to quickly clean up these heads and prevent Qin Chu from seeing them.
But then, Qin Chu appeared.
Loseweisse’s heart sank.
Qin Chu was also startled by the scene before him. He had only killed Benson, and when he left, there was only Benson. How come there were so many companions now?
Ekaterina also looked at the pile of heads in shock. Seeing the headbands on the heads, she exclaimed, “Holy Knights?”
Qin Chu’s heart trembled.
Good heavens, he had left two symbols, but he hadn’t expected anyone to believe it. After all, this kind of framing method was too crude. Qin Chu just wanted to muddy the waters a bit.
But he hadn’t expected these people to act so drastically, actually killing so many Holy Knights as sacrifices?
Loseweisse shouldn’t be that stupid, right?
It seemed that it was the armored man beside her who did it…
The Death Knight, Karsus.
This man wasn’t originally on Qin Chu’s priority list to eliminate, but he had unexpectedly delivered himself to his doorstep. What a pleasant surprise.
Qin Chu acted as if he was frightened, his eyes wide open and his mouth agape, perfectly portraying the expression he should have at this moment. But that was enough…
“You, you actually killed so many Holy Knights?” Qin Chu tried his best to control his voice, making a terrified sound. His acting seemed to be getting better and better.
Loseweisse really wanted to cry. She was too unlucky!
But now wasn’t the time to cry. She desperately waved her hands and explained, “No, no, Hero, you misunderstood. We didn’t do this. This is… Lomond’s doing. Yes, these were all done by Lomond.”
Qin Chu’s face darkened, “Saintess Loseweisse, you deceived me…”
“I didn’t expect someone as noble as you to lie.”
“Lomond is a Demon Beast, why would he be so kind as to arrange an altar and sacrifices for the people he killed?”
“Moreover, I can sense it. On these heads, there’s an aura similar to his. It was he who killed these Holy Knights…” Qin Chu suddenly pointed at Karsus and shouted sharply.
“These were all excellent Holy Knights. They braved the cold and danger to fight Demon Beasts at the border. But they didn’t die at the hands of Demon Beasts, but at the hands of a member of the Hero Squad. They died with grievances!”
Qin Chu was indignant, loudly accusing and expressing his anger at the deaths of these Holy Knights.
In reality, he could barely control the corners of his lips from curling up. This was definitely a good opportunity to frame Karsus.
For a moment, Loseweisse was speechless.
Only Karsus, his eyes under the helmet becoming redder and redder, his killing intent growing stronger and stronger.
Qin Chu… This guy was the source of all the trouble.
If it weren’t for this guy insisting on becoming the Second Hero, Benson wouldn’t have had to rush back to the Imperial City, he wouldn’t have died, and he wouldn’t have killed so many Holy Knights.
In Karsus’s simple and crude mind, there was no other thought except that Qin Chu was the culprit of everything.
And now this guy had discovered that he had killed so many Holy Knights…
Kill him, kill him, kill him…
Only Jie Luo could restrain Karsus when he was still alive. After Jie Luo’s death, once Karsus went berserk, no one could control him. Just as Loseweisse had thought, all the words she said were instantly thrown behind by the enraged Karsus.
Sensing the aura coming from beside her, Loseweisse’s face changed drastically. She wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
With a bang, Karsus’s body instantly transformed into a dark meteor. The sharp spearhead, wrapped in black airflow, pierced towards Qin Chu’s chest.
As long as he killed Qin Chu, all the problems would be solved.
His speed was incredibly fast.
Ekaterina’s face changed slightly, and she was about to make a move, but Qin Chu stopped her with a look.
Violet, on the other hand, stepped forward, her tall body completely shielding Qin Chu behind her. Even though the target had changed, Karsus’s actions didn’t hesitate in the slightest.
Apart from Jie Luo and his teammates, the lives of others were no longer considered lives in Karsus’s heart.
Not only did he not stop, but his speed even increased.
With a buzz, the spearhead instantly appeared in front of Violet, about to pierce through her abdomen. At this moment, Violet suddenly stretched out her right hand and grabbed the spearhead.
Buzz!
A violent airflow erupted.
Karsus’s body instantly stopped in place, while Violet’s body didn’t even sway.
Violet suddenly smiled at Karsus, then grabbed the spear with one hand and, with a whoosh, swung Karsus, who was on the other end of the spear, into the air. Then, her arm suddenly sank.
With a bang, Karsus’s body slammed heavily onto the ground in front of her, creating a deep pit and kicking up a cloud of dust. What a sorry sight.
Actually, Karsus shouldn’t have been so pathetic.
On the one hand, it was because Violet was truly strong. Even Anthea’s spear had been caught by her, and Karsus wasn’t necessarily stronger than Anthea.
On the other hand, it was also because of Karsus’s carelessness.
This humiliation made Karsus extremely angry. His sturdy body, clad in heavy armor, writhed on the ground. He couldn’t bear this humiliation. Just as he was about to get up, Violet’s figure had already appeared before him. She raised her foot and kicked Karsus in the face, her body spinning 720 degrees in the air, and then, with a splat, he fell to the ground again like a frog.
He even tried to raise his head, but Violet stomped on the back of his head, making his face kiss the ground.
Half of his head was buried in the dirt.
Violet was about to stomp on him a few more times, but Qin Chu stopped her. After all, this was a member of the Hero Squad. Wouldn’t it be too pitiful for him to be caught off guard by Violet and beaten so badly that he couldn’t fight back? Moreover, he couldn’t just kill him in front of Loseweisse.
Looking at Violet, who returned to his side triumphantly, Qin Chu asked curiously, “Are you that strong?”
“Of course, after all, I was a Saintess a thousand years ago,” Violet replied with a grin.
He felt that she had become more lively.
However, a Saintess?
Was that how a Saintess acted? Shouldn’t a Saintess be praying, using magic, or something like that? She was a pure martial artist.
Also, didn’t she inherit the authority of the Storm Lord? So this authority just made her more violent when fighting?
Loseweisse was also startled by this scene. She hadn’t expected the woman next to Qin Chu to be so strong. Karsus was almost completely helpless. Who was this woman?
Karsus struggled to get up from the ground, his scarlet eyes glaring at Qin Chu and Violet with resentment. His helmet fell off, revealing a handsome face. As expected of a former nobleman, if it weren’t for his broken mind, this guy would probably be very popular with women.
Seeing that Karsus was still eager to try, Loseweisse quickly stepped forward and pressed down on his shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
Now wasn’t the time to fight. Loseweisse believed that if they really fought, even if this mysterious tall woman was very strong, she would definitely lose if she and Karsus joined forces with Ekaterina. Both she and Qin Chu would die here.
But…
Qin Chu couldn’t die.
She and Ekaterina were the ones who brought Qin Chu out. If he died, they would also be severely punished, and they couldn’t bear the consequences.
“I’m very sorry…” Loseweisse curtsied to Qin Chu, holding her skirt. Now she could only pray for his forgiveness, hoping to use her charm to make him keep this matter a secret.
“Hero, I’m truly sorry. This is Karsus, the Death Knight, a member of our Hero Squad. He didn’t mean to attack you. It’s just that the news of Benson’s death hit him too hard, causing him to lose control. He and Benson were best friends.”
“Is Benson dead?” Qin Chu sighed sadly, “We were still too late.”
“It’s not your fault, Hero. It was all Lomond’s doing,” Loseweisse said. She stepped forward, getting closer and closer to Qin Chu.
Ignoring Violet beside her, she cupped Qin Chu’s hand in hers and placed it on her chest.
Looking up at him, she pleaded, “Hero, could you please pretend you didn’t see what happened today?”
“If this matter is exposed, Karsus will be severely punished. We’ve already lost Benson, we can’t lose Karsus too.”
Qin Chu seemed a little embarrassed. He tried to pull his hand back but failed. He hesitated, “But, if he’s not punished, these people will have died in vain. I’m the Hero, a champion of justice. I can’t tolerate such evil happening before my eyes.”
Seeing Qin Chu’s hesitation, Loseweisse quickly said, “But, if this matter is exposed, it’s very likely to trigger a civil war among humans, and we won’t be able to fight the Demon Beasts anymore. More people will die then. You wouldn’t want to see the Heavenly Continent drenched in blood, would you?”
Loseweisse even used her Spirit Magic, Guidance.
Qin Chu hadn’t learned magic, and the strong woman beside him didn’t understand magic at all, so no one should notice.
“I know this goes against the justice you uphold, but this is not a lie. This is to save more lives, this is for the entire Heavenly Continent.”
Loseweisse gently shook Qin Chu’s hand, rubbing it against her chest. Her voice was sweet and alluring, “Hero, please.”
Under Loseweisse’s offensive and Spirit Guidance, Qin Chu seemed to be persuaded, “Alright, Saintess, for your sake, I promise you, I, Qin Chu, will absolutely not… tell anyone about this.”
After receiving Qin Chu’s affirmative answer, Loseweisse felt a little relieved. She couldn’t completely guarantee that Qin Chu wouldn’t speak up. This feeling of anxiety and pinning her hopes on someone else made her very uncomfortable.
But this was the best situation for now. Even Loseweisse couldn’t do more.
She let go of Qin Chu’s hand and took two steps back, wiping her hand where he couldn’t see.
Loseweisse gave Ekaterina a serious look, the meaning was clear: Make Ekaterina keep an eye on Qin Chu. If he tried to expose this matter, she had to stop him.
Ekaterina only nodded silently.
Loseweisse felt a little more at ease. With Ekaterina watching, there shouldn’t be any major problems.
At this moment, Qin Chu’s voice suddenly came from in front of her:
“By the way, Miss Loseweisse, can I go on a date with you after we return to the Imperial City?”
Qin Chu made his request.
A gentle smile appeared on Loseweisse’s face, “Of course, Hero, it would be my honor.”
Her cheeks were flushed, seemingly excited, but also a little shy because he had publicly asked her out in front of so many people.
But in her heart, she was cursing: This damned bastard, thinking that he could blackmail her into going on a date with him because he had something on Karsus?
What a disgusting creature.
However, he was indeed after her body!
