Chapter 5628
Thump thump...
Just then, a series of knocks came from outside the door.
Antigonus opened his eyes, holding back his anger to say," Who is it?"
Despite not knowing who was outside, Antigonus could clearly sense that the man outside
radiated a deep and steady aura, implying that he was quite powerful.
The voice responded, "It's me."
It was Tuji's voice.
Whew!
Antigonus' gaze flashed. He guessed immediately that Tuji was paying him a visit because
he had heard of what happened earlier. Antigonus called out, wrapping his shoulder up
with bandages quickly before opening the door.
Tuji stood outside silently, his expression calm and devoid of any anger or emotion.
Antigonus bowed respectfully. "Is something the matter. Master?"
As the Archfiend, Antigonus did not wish to call the man his Master at all. However, he had
no choice, seeing as he lived in the man's territory.
Tuji chuckled lightly. "Haha! Oh, not much. I just heard from your Senior Sister Circe that
you were attacked by our Wind Spirit Wolves earlier, so I thought I'd come over to check
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton you."
As he spoke, Tuji entered the room in big strides.
Antigonus hurried after him, pulling out a chair for Tuji to sit on.
Tuji cast a glance at Antigonus' wounded shoulder, speaking slowly. "Circe said that you
were in quite a bit of danger, but you managed to save your life at the last second by
communicating with the wolves in beast language."
Tuji's eyes did not leave Antigonus as he spoke, observing his every move.
Antigonus nodded, speaking in a sincere tone. "Yes. Things happened all of a sudden.l got
quite the shock myself."
He was only saying so, sneering to himself internally.
'This old geezer seems to still suspect me.'
Tuji pondered upon Antigonus' response before continuing to ask, "I heard you learned
beast language from a skilled wanderer of the world?"
"That's right."
Tuji's gaze flashed with an unreadable expression, growing solemn all at once. "Who was
that wanderer? What sect was he from?"
Antigonus fell silent before shaking his head. "I... I'm afraid I don't know. That man had a
really low profile, and he did not
even tell me his name when he taught me beast language."
Tuji chuckled and starer at Antigonus meaningfully. "Is that so? Well, let me ask you this.
There are lots of categories of beast tamers, and each category has a unique beast
language of its own. Which category was your master from?"
Tuji had a few books on beast tamers in his study, and he knew enough to ask Antigonus
such a question. If Antigonus could answer him, it would prove that he really did know
beast language.
Well...
Antigonus frowned in the face of the questions, falling silent.
He did not know beast language at all. How would he know that there were all those
categories?
Seeing as he could not answer, Tuji smiled before getting to his feet and shouted, "You
don't know beast language at all, do you?!"
As he spoke, he moved as quickly as lightning to rip the bandages off Antigonus' shoulder.
The two stood close to each other, and Antigonus hardly had time to react before the
bandage was ripped off, exposing the wound beneath.
All that could be seen was that the wound was healed, only leaving behind a faint scar.
Tuji's expression darkened at the sight as he roared, "I guessed right, then. Your wound is
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhealing up real fast. You must have hidden powers. Tell me who you are now, and
why you infiltrated the Lange household!"
As the final word rang through the air, Tuji exploded with internal energy. He stared
directly at Antigonus, moving as if he was ready to strike at any second.
Antigonus did not panic in the slightest at the situation. He smiled, saying lightly, "I
thought I'd be able to cultivate by myself for a while here, but the lot of you kept
suspecting me time and time again. Fine, I won't hide any longer now that you've caught
me.”
As he spoke, Antigonus put on an expression of great arrogance as he continued,
emphasising each word. "I'm...
I'm the head of the Elysium Gate-Darryl Darby." i
He lied about his identity on purpose so that Tuji would be provoked even more.
What?
Indeed, Tuji's chest thudded at the words as his brain buzzed blankly.
The Lange household had always maintained close relations with the Elysium Gate, and
the two could be considered allies. Why was Darryl infiltrating the Lange household under
a disguise?
Tuji did not suspect anything Antigonus said, and he believed for a fact that the man
before him was Darryl. Darryl was not only incredibly powerful, but he was also good at
disguising himself. It was no surprise that he hid his identity at that very moment.
