章 72: Agreement

Toz pondered on how to dispose of Hugh and ensure that no matter what kind of specialist the Explorer's Guild calls in, neither he nor his cats will get caught. While Toz stood there, looking at Hugh glaring at him from the ground, Lucy climbed up on his shoulders and whispered in his ear.

There was no real need for Lucy to whisper, but he liked the feeling of plotting in front of the victim. Especially when Hugh looked at Lucy with wariness instead of the glance of frustration he had directed toward Toz before that. Aside from Toz's cold gaze, he didn't look that scary. But Hugh still remembered what had happened when he locked eyes with Lucy, and his entire vision was overtaken by darkness. The feeling of being small and insignificant in front of a greater being still hadn't left him.
