Chapter 836

The red–robed messenger’s voice chilled the air, evoking the image of a Grim Reaper emerging from the depths of hell. Its sinister tone carried a lethal intent, sending shivers down the spine.

Upon hearing the words, Wonne and landon felt a sudden plunge into an icy abyss, their holtes trembling with fear. Gritting his teeth, Landon’s voice resonated with determination, “We’re family. If we’re going to face death…”

“Mr. Katz!” Lawrence cried out.

His expression changed drastically upon hearing Landon’s words He swinly pulled Landon and Yvonne close anul spoke with solemnity, “One sacrifice is enough. There’s no need for moir lives to be lost. Tell my sister that I absolutely love skiing! If I don’t make it back, ask her to get me a pair of ski boots and burn them for inel

With those words, Lawrence suddenly puslied Yvonne and Landon away and called out, “Miss Kirby, please take them and leave

Tiana had been waiting for these instructions Without hesitation she firmly grasped Landon and Yvonne, swiftly guiding them out of the restaurant and disappearing from Lawrence’s sight

The red–robed messenger stared at Lawrence and spoke deliberately. “Now, you may speak

Lawrence’s voice wavered with apprehension, “Well, I can, but with so many cursed beetles here, I’m afraid Could you please remove them first?”

His eyes darted toward the dark clouds outside, fear etched across his face. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Kid, stop playing tricks in front of me! The reil–robed messenger’s voice dripped with cold disdain.

Lawrence trembled, consumed by fear and unease. He stammered, Tm genuinely scared. When fear strikes, my memory fails inc…

The red–robed messenger’s eyes turned colder. Swiftly, he seized Lawrence by the neck, lifting him up as his voice chilled to the bone, “Kid, I see through your ploy. Are you stalling for time, hoping for Haylan Jaber’s arrival to save you?” Lawrence’s face flushed, his words stumbling. “… I’m not lying. I’m truly scared. I…

“Kid, I saw through your ruse long ago. If you wish to delay. I’ll oblige. However, where and how you stall for time is not your decision–it’s mine. The red–robed messenger’s gaze turned icy as he held Lawrence by the neck. With a swift motion. he shattered the rooftop of the Peace Restaurant, ascending into the sky.

In a series of leaps and bounds, the red–robed messenger soared across rooftops, disappearing like a giant bird in flight, leaving no trace behind.

As he departed, the dark clouds that had enshrouded the Peace Restaurant ascended into the sky, rapidly dissipating, and everyone at the Peace Restaurant heaved a sigh of relief.

Within the 165 feet radius around the restaurant, the ground was stained with a dense pool of blood. Only the remnants of blood remained after the procession of dark clouds passed, devouring every trace of the fallen bodies.

Not long after leaving the restaurant, Tiana collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, her eyes wide with terror.

Similarly, Landon and Yvonne’s faces were ashen, consumed by despair.

“Lawrence…” Yvonne murmured, her gaze fixed on the direction Lawrence had disappeared as shock and despair overtook her. Her heart sank into the abyss.

Pale and filled with despair, Landon’s thoughts echoed, “It’s over! It’s truly over! If Lawrence falls into the clutches of the red–robed messenger, the chances of his safe return are slim. Haylan Jaber hasn’t arrived yet, leaving us powerless to save Lawrence. We can only watch helplessly as he’s taken away.”

Clenching his fists, he resented his helplessness and silently sighed. “If only I were stronger.”

Mr. Baxter emerged from the shadows, and his face clouded with gloom as he surveyed the dilapidated Peace Restaurant and the blood–soaked ground.

Taking a deep breath to regain composure, Tiana stood up swiftly and spoke with utmost seriousness, “Don’t lose hope just yet. Lawrence is intelligent; he’ll find a way. And he left you a clue. Think, where could he have gone?”

“A clue? Landon and Yvonne perked up at the mention, casting aside their despair and sadness, racking their brains for

answers.

Yvonne’s voice lit up with realization as she exclaimed, “Lawrence mentioned skiing! Her eyes scanned the direction Lawrence had taken.

“Skiing Landon murmured.

Then, his eyes widened in realization, and he exclaimed, “Lawrence hasn’t experienced the thrill of skiing in years. There must be a deeper meaning behind his words.”

Landon’s expression grew grave as he cautioned, his voice low You may confront those black–clad men, but it is unwise to provoke the red–robed messenger He is a force beyond your reckoning

Who is be Mr. Baxter and Tiana inquired simultaneously, and their curiosity piqued to its peak

Clenching his fats, Landon whispered, “Have you heard of the Demonic God Society?”

Diana’y eyes widened in surprise, her confusion evident. The Demonic God Society was unknown to her.

Do you mean the religious order known as the Radiant Society?” Mr. Baxter’s countenance shifted, reflecting concern.

Landon nodded, his tone grave. “Yes, the red–robed messenger is one of the Eight Demigods of the Demonic God Society, known as the Red Kobe,‘ he replied.

The revelation sent shivers down Mr Baxter’s spine, his expression darkening with foreboding

While a single red–robed messenger alone might not be formidable, the Demonic God Society itself wielded unimaginable power, ranking among the world’s elite forces.

Beyond the borders of vast nations, the Demonic God Society held dominion even in extraterritorial battlefields.

“Most countries would consider acquiring a god–class expert a monumental achievement, but the Demonic God Society boasts eight such individuals, rivaling the might of our Longhard Kingdom, Landon explained, his tone carrying a sense of urgency

Landon’s gaze grew serious as he continued. “Moreover, the red–robed messenger wields significant influence within the Whileal Kingdom Living within the kingdom, how can you hope to survive if you provoke his wrath?”

Mr. Baxter and Tiana exchanged troubled glances, their faces etched with deep concern.

At that moment, a cold voice resonated from behind them, shattering the tension. “If they are incapable of acting, then allow me to handle it, Haylan declared with an air of confidence.
