"Tch...will you let me down now?" Count Draculus said after a while.
He didn't have an ounce of fear in his eyes, only mild annoyance. I smiled and set him down. He knew I had no intention of really killing him. I was just testing him out, and also my own newfound abilities in the process.
"How could you be so sure I wasn't going to kill you right then and there?" I asked, curious to see the answer.
"Hmph. You may be cold and ruthless on the surface, but deep down, you have a warm heart. Those girls who travel with you are living examples of that," he said confidently. "You are not the type to mindlessly murder."
"My, my...I appreciate it," I replied. "In any case...I'm not going to start growing fangs or anything, right?"
Heya everyone. Cyclxne here.
The Ross Estate's secret is finally brought to light. Still, that's pretty clever, hiding the auction stage within what seems to be pure concrete. Turning the whole floor 180 degrees around? That's got to have its repurcussions, sure, but with a little Gravity Magic, that consequence can be nullified.
In any case, now that they've got the info they need, the only thing to do now is to steal that Basilisk Dust. Let's do it.
Anyway, that's all from me for now.
And as always, I'll talk to you all in the next chapter~
