บท 63: Julius' Plan

"I don't expect you to have it immediately. I'll be back in twelve hours. Have it by then, no excuses," Elish said.

"T-twelve hours? But that is..." Julius weakly protested.

'Yes, I know, that is when the action really begins.' Elish grinned internally. 'The black market rulers and even the Apostles, plus my own little mechanism I had in place.'

But, as of now, Elish knew that Julius had no other cards he could play or excuses he could give.

It seemed the young man wanted to say something, but the moment Elish glared at him, he immediately he shut his mouth. 

Elish then walked away from him and headed toward the exit. Before getting there, he paused and looked back at him.

"I'm currently in search of two of my slaves. Have you seen any of them?" Elish asked.

"Uh? No, no, I haven't," he said to Elish in confusion.

"Oh? I see. Fair enough. I trust your words," Elish smiled at him.

"Y-Yeah," he muttered nervously.
