Chapter 182: Shadow Guild (3)

Little did she know she was stepping into Xavier’s trap.

’Ms. Darkwood, I feel the same way...’ Xavier’s voice echoed in her mind, startling her. ’We’ll kiss in public more often.’

Iris, "..."

’Shameless!’ Iris scolds him in her heart. She didn’t have time to entertain him as her gaze fixed on the few guild members emerging from the building and glancing in their direction.

"Keep moving," Iris said calmly. "They won’t notice us. I’ve already manipulated their minds. They’ll believe we’re their colleagues."

"Great job, Iris!" Justin couldn’t resist giving her a thumbs-up in praise. Iris now possessed even stronger mind control abilities; she could control more than one person at the same time.

And what Iris had claimed proved true. The guild members simply nodded and headed toward the parking area.

They didn’t teleport inside the building, afraid the powerful creature upstairs would notice their presence.

...

"Justin, can you detect a powerful presence inside?" Iris asked. She had already tried to sense it but to no avail. She couldn’t feel anything.

"Milady, there’s a powerful aura inside," remarked one of the middle-aged vampires in a black leather jacket in response to Iris, which surprised her as it was the first time she heard him speak.

Iris immediately glanced at him. She was stunned when she realized she couldn’t sense this man’s aura. Surprised, she asked Justin inwardly, ’Are these Uncle Vampires more powerful than you?’

’Indeed! They both possess more power than me, even twin guards.’ Justin explained that the one in the navy blue coat is even more formidable.

Iris could only laugh inwardly, realizing that Xavier would never allow her to enter this building without these two powerful vampires.

’They both arrived just before we came here. Lord Xavier summoned them from other countries,’ he continued.

Without further questions for Justin, Iris glanced back at the middle-aged vampire in the black leather jacket. "How many insides?"

"Five people upstairs in the office," the man in black leather politely replied. "And two in the underground dungeon, half a mile from this house. Those two are more powerful than the five upstairs."

Instantly, Iris froze. She knows that place. It was Eric’s hiding place, where he usually trained.

’Why are such powerful creatures down there? Are they guarding something?’ Iris wondered, but then she shuddered at the thought that they might keep Eric there.

"Sir... What creatures are in the dungeon? Witches or Demons?" she asked as she had planned to go there after finishing the five creatures upstairs.

Even though she wanted to take care of all these creatures by himself, it seemed like it would be difficult for him to do it alone.

Iris felt angry with herself for being too weak. She couldn’t even sense the presence of the creatures upstairs, so how could she possibly detect something farther away and stronger? How could she kill them all!?

"Milady, don’t worry about them. Lord Xavier will take care of them," the middle-aged vampire assured. "We were only assigned to clean up the demons in this building..." he hastily explained upon seeing Iris’ gloomy expression.

"Tsk, Tsk, Iris... Why do you look afraid? Didn’t you say you’d handle them all alone?" Justin narrowed his eyes at her as they ascended the staircase.

Iris didn’t bother to glance at him. She sent him a warning through his mind, ’Speak once more, and I will call my husband to throw you away!’

Justin’s face turned grim upon hearing her threat.

’Hahaha, I’m joking, Milady... I only try to humor you so you don’t have to feel tense.’ Justin said, then pressed his lips as he followed her, who had already walked swiftly ahead. He caught up with her, and soon, they arrived at the top floor — Eric’s entire office.

From there, Iris could finally sense the powerful aura inside Eric’s office. However, even though she could perceive their presence, she still couldn’t distinguish between a Demon and a Witch.

Before she entered the room, she glanced at the two vampires behind her.

’Can you two hide your powers?’ She asked them through their minds, afraid people inside the room might hear them.

’Yes, Milady. We’ve already concealed our power since our arrival here,’ the vampire in the navy coat responded.

’Good!’ Iris smiled at them. She entered the room without even knocking on the door.

Upon opening the door, the five pairs of eyes now gazed at them with confusion and anger.

She looked at each person in turn, and as her gaze fell on the last person sitting on the single couch, her anger suddenly flared.

’Justin, this demon who killed me, right!?’ Iris asked as she walked inside and saw the fake Eric.

’The last time I checked, a wizard disguised as Eric, but this man was a Demon. So, he is the one who killed you...’ Justin glanced at Iris. He could see a flame dancing in her gaze — she was furious. ’Do they look the same?’ he asked.

’Mmm, I would never notice any difference if I were still a normal human.’

No wonder she had never doubted that this man was not Eric. She had trusted him when he lured her to her final assignment.

’You know what, Justin?’ Iris asked.

Justin was utterly baffled by her newfound cheerfulness and the total lack of concern for the room’s intense vibes. He wondered, ’Why’s she so chill now? Wasn’t she a bundle of nerves earlier?’ Justin was thoroughly bewildered.

He squinted at Iris and asked, ’What?’

Iris glanced at Justin, standing beside her. Then she answered, ’Xavier warned me not to kill innocent humans or wizards. Knowing this fake Eric’s a Demon can make me very happy. Today, I will kill him and send him back to hell!’ she declared.

Just thinking about killing this demon makes her so happy. Finally, today, she would get her revenge on this damn man.

Justin was speechless.

’Ahem, Milady... There are four other powerful beings in this room. Are you that confident you could handle them alone?’ He tries to remind her that she will die if she forces herself to fight alone.

’I couldn’t care less about them. You and the two uncles can take care of the rest,’ Iris replied with a grin. She focuses solely on dealing with this fake Eric. After that, she will track down Eric. The real human being named Eric, her boss.
