Chapter 606: Chapter 438: Did the Elf King Change His Nature? (2)

Although Aileen said that now was the best opportunity to kill Qin Chu, Alfred’s heart grew increasingly restless.

To kill just Qin Chu alone, it would require at least ten warriors of Martial God Level or above, not to mention Asina and Silf.

"Don’t worry; I have three helpers who will start arriving tonight. Their power is far more terrifying than you imagine," Aileen said proudly.

As long as she could resurrect Jie Luo and kill Qin Chu, Aileen was willing to cooperate with anyone, even demons.

Aileen did not know who that person was; at that time, she had just urgently fled from the Imperial City, unable to live within human territories, only able to move around in the border areas between humans and demons. Suddenly, a mysterious man appeared before her and proposed an alliance.

The man was willing to reveal the location of a Soul Fragment of Jie Luo and even provide her with the power necessary to kill Qin Chu.

In exchange, she only needed to provide some fresh blood at a specific time.

Although that man was very strange and his power was as unfathomable as the deep sea, the cost of the transaction for both parties was utterly disproportionate.

But at that time, Aileen had no other choice, especially considering the Soul Fragment of Jie Luo was involved; hence, Aileen agreed without hesitating.

On the agreed day, Aileen had two liters of blood drawn by the other party, and she then learned from him that a Soul Fragment had fallen within the Exeter Kingdom. The man assured her that over the coming period, he would send people to help Aileen kill Qin Chu. These people were very powerful and would follow Aileen’s commands without hesitation, even if she led them to storm the Imperial City.

Alfred frowned tightly, "That makes five people then, less than half needed."

"Don’t you also have the Hidden Society?" Aileen sneered coldly.

What a ridiculous Hidden Society, the so-called secrecy only pertains to ordinary people. For those truly possessing ultimate power, the Hidden Society is hardly worth mentioning.

"To put it bluntly, it’s just an evil religion that worships a strange existence."

"If it weren’t for the Hidden Society being very low-key and always operating in small border countries, they would have been destroyed long ago, just like the Blissful Witch Association by the Holy Court and the Earth Mother Goddess Sect; they wouldn’t have survived until now."

"Besides the Pride Witch and the mysterious leader in the Hidden Society, there are three Level 80 or above individuals, including Tatter, who has a very good relationship with you."

"Believe me, for a mysterious sect like the Hidden Society, Qin Chu, who also acts as the Pope of the Holy Court, is definitely their biggest enemy."

"You can pull the entire Hidden Society over through your connection with Tatter. Although they don’t have many powerful masters, they have quite a few Level 70 Believers. Combined, they also form a formidable force."

But even so, it seemed still insufficient to confront Qin Chu.

Damn it.

Alfred’s heart was extremely agitated; he wished he could rush forward himself and slice Qin Chu into pieces.

The urge to kill brewed incessantly within his chest, as if every second the brutality and murderous intent were expanding.

Strange traces moved under Alfred’s skin.

"Besides these, there is Edson and his three daughters," Aileen continued, "With this, our strength surpasses Qin Chu, and the advantage is ours."

"This time we will definitely slay Qin Chu, Asina, and Silf."

"Edson will help us assassinate the Hero?" Alfred was somewhat surprised.

Aileen smiled proudly, "Believe me, he will."

The frenzy in his chest weakened Alfred’s ability to think; he scarcely doubted any longer, his eyes gleaming with a crimson gloss as if he could already see himself shredding Qin Chu to pieces, his eyes filled with immense excitement: *cackles*

"That would be excellent, but if possible, I would like to keep Silf for myself; I haven’t properly tormented that b*tch yet."

"Of course you...," Aileen smiled and was about to agree when her hand trembled, and a dagger hissed as it flew from her palm.

A series of squeaks was heard, quickly followed by silence.

At the window, a poor mouse had been nailed to the wall.

"You need to clean up your house."

As the Elf King, Alfred was a clean freak; his home was always tidy, and although things like cockroaches and rats did not scare him, they disgusted him immensely.

Yet at that moment, as he looked at the mouse, pierced and bloody, a strange craving surged within him. His throat pulsed uncontrollably, an intense impulse from the depths of his heart making him lose control.

Blood, blood, blood...

The aroma of blood.

He had even completely forgotten about Aileen standing behind him as he quietly walked towards the mouse. He pulled the dagger from the wall and tossed it aside.

Just as Aileen was about to ask what exactly Alfred intended to do, she saw him bring the bloody, dead mouse to his lips and bite off its head. The viscous fluids dripped in thin silks and under some inexplicable force, twisted like maggots, squirming and retracting upward into the Elf King’s mouth.

*Crunch, crunch!*

Strange chewing sounds came from the Elf King’s mouth.

The handsome face seemed twisted by the stimulation of blood, and massive amounts of mouse fur were smeared around his lips, making it look like a beard.

Gulp!

Aileen swallowed.

She did not want to compete with Alfred for the pitiful, dead mouse.

It was just that the Elf King, such a handsome and neat figure, suddenly acting this way made him appear even weirder, and it sent chills down Aileen’s spine.

This guy... was not normal.

Alfred seemed to feel Aileen’s gaze; he handed over the mouse he was holding, "Would you like to eat some as well?"

Aileen shook her head vigorously, "Thanks for the offer, but I’ve already eaten."

Damn it, she was almost about to vomit out yesterday’s meal. Was this guy really an elf? Or was he actually some dirty demon?

"I have other matters to attend to, remember to contact Tatter, and... never try to provoke Qin Chu on your own, you will die."

After she carefully warned him, Aileen’s figure quickly disappeared from the room.

Alfred seemed completely oblivious to Aileen’s words and continued gnawing at the mouse in his hand. The poor mouse did not last long; even its slender tail disappeared into Alfred’s mouth with not a trace of bone fragment left.

Alfred was panting heavily.

Not enough... not enough.

He had never known before tasting it firsthand how sweet the flavor of fresh blood could be.

The desire within his chest seemed magnified countless times at that moment.

He wanted more delicious blood, he wanted to hear the sound of blood spurting, to smell the scent of blood, to feel the sensation of blood sliding down his throat...

His throat kept twitching.

God knew how much time had passed, but Alfred eventually managed to suppress the craving in his chest. He remembered Aileen’s instructions; he still had to find Tatter.

He shook his head, cleaned the stains on his face, and Alfred changed into a clean robe, leaving the mansion.

Watching the pedestrians on the road, Alfred’s eyes flickered with a strange excitement; each person looked so delicious to him.

But he retained a bit of rationality, realizing that killing someone in the street was absolutely not an acceptable behavior. Suppressing his impulses, Alfred arrived at Tatter’s residence.

"Oh, my dear friend..." Seeing the Elf King again, Tatter welcomed him with a warm hug.

Alfred gazed at Tatter’s clean neck, his pupils contracting violently, his breathing becoming more and more rapid. He felt like he could hear the sound of blood flowing through the vessels under the skin, and finally, he couldn’t control himself any longer, sticking out his tongue to lick Tatter’s neck, wanting to bite down.

Hiss...

Just as he was preparing to warmly welcome his good friend, Tatter’s body shuddered, and suddenly a layer of goosebumps emerged all over him.

"Fuck."

With a bizarre scream from his mouth, Tatter pushed Alfred away and sprung back several meters, full of fear as he looked at his close friend in front of him.

As if this friend had become utterly foreign, like they had met for the first time.

Even though Tatter feared neither heaven nor earth, at that moment his scalp numbed,

"Alfred, did Silf’s matter affect you too much, making you change your nature?"

"My dear brother, I will definitely help you through this tough time, but I must emphasize one thing; I am definitely not into men."

Although Alfred’s appearance was even more beautiful than many women, he had absolutely no interest in the same sex.

He was a very normal man, a straight man through and through.

For his good brother, he was willing to do anything, but he too had his limits.

Alfred stood frozen, not moving an inch; Tatter’s reaction seemed to wake him up, his eyes widening as he was stunned. He could not understand what had just happened, wanting to bite through his best friend’s neck and drain his blood.

What exactly was happening to him?

Alfred shook his head desperately, trying hard to suppress the restlessness emerging from within his chest. Perhaps he was indeed affected too much and needed a good rest after he returned home.

Alfred calmed down slightly and took a deep breath, "Tatter, I apologize for my just actions, I might indeed have been a bit off my usual self."

"However, I came today for another matter."

"The Hidden Society also wants to kill Qin Chu, right?"
