Free Web NovelChapter 24: The Butcher Is A Hero?
Knock. Knock. Knock.
A soft knock echoed on the door.
"Who’s there?" a feminine voice echoed.
"Its me." A deep voice replied.
The sound of the door opening echoed and a lady with a worried expression on her face came into view.
"Why did you come back so late? You had me worried to a great extent." Kayla said staring at amon intently.
Why was he suddenly so behaving so strangely since the birth of their daughter?
She knew amon was different from other men, however she couldnt help worrying within her heart.
After all, people changed with time.
Keeping all these bitter thoughts to herself, she glanced up at amon waiting for his reply.
Amon let out an exhausted sigh and explained.
"I told you that work today was going to be hectic, sorry for coming back so late." He tugged a strand of her hair gently behind her ear and gave her a reasurring smile.
"I promise that nothing’s wrong."
Kayla stared at him silently.
Although he kept reasurring her that nothing was wrong, she still had a strange sense of foreboding in her heart.
’What exactly is he hiding from me?’
She lingered for a few seconds and sighed before stepping sideways and letting amon enter inside.
She sniffed lightly and aside from a mixture of a metallic scent and sweat, he had no other woman’s colongue clinging to his body.
’In essence he wasnt with someone else?’ kayla mumbled to herself.
Her thoughts were still spinning rapidly as she tried to think of why amon was acting so weird but she ultimately kept it to herself in the end.
She locked the door then turned around and noticed amon sitting on the parlor’s cushion, his gaze attracted to the news.
{shocking news! The mysterious butcher clears more than ten dungeons in the dark of the night!}
{initially a haughty villain, the butcher is suddenly clearing dungeons and ensuring peace and prosperity within the city. Could this be to atone for his sins? Or could this be for another reason? The armed forces are already investigating the situation.}
{what does this hold for the butcher?}
The camera rolled, zooming in on the reporter as she chatted excitedly.
Clearly, everyone was always excited about news of the butcher.
He was a mysterious vigilante who had captivated the public’s attention in barely a few days. Naturally, eyes and ears were spread out, curious about what stunt he’d pull next.
’The media is already aware of this?’ amon muttered interally,s urprised by the efficience of the Armed forces when it came to obtaining information.
At this moment kayla walked over with a tray of steaming dishes which she had warmed.
"I prepared something nice for you. The noodles are already somewhat soggy after being reheated, sorry about that." She took a warm towel and wiped amon’s face, cleanning off some of his fatigue.
Amon smiled warmly and said, "thank you, kayla."
Kayla forced a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes due to her hidden worry.
Perhaps she truly was losing her marriage... freeweɓnøvel.com
Not wanting to think too deeply on it, she sat on the chair her warm body leaning onto amon as she watched the news with him.
It was a warm and cozy atmosphere, starkly different from the turmoil and troubles of the outside world.
Amon took a chop stick and twisted the noodle before taking a bite.
It melted in his mouth almost instantly. It was delicious as always.
"This is nice." He complimented, to which kayla smiled sweetly. However majority of her attention was on the news being displayed.
The butcher...
A sense of familiarity blosomed within her whenever she thought of him, however she continously shoved it aside.
"It seems he isn’t as bad as we thought, seeing him do good deeds actually makes me a little relieved." Kayla mumbled under her breath but amon caught it.
’Makes you relieved...’ his attention vaguely drifted to the display on screen.
To the image of the terrifying figure of the butcher with the cute cat faced mask that radiated an immense killing intent.
’Don’t worry kayla...’ amon said to himself as he casually placed another spoon of noodles in his mouth, ’I promise to turn this city into the most peaceful place for you and our daughter.’
The demon infant faction, the dungeons, heretics who commited evil deeds within the society and even the armed forces, all of them, amon would make sure to eliminate all of them just so that there would be no single threat to his family!
...
While the couple was engrossed in their harmonious atmosphere, a figure silently crawled away from the location.
It was ciara.
She had just learnt how to crawl today after using the techniuqe she obtained from her system.
With the techniuqe, she consumed a large ammount of energy and her growth rate could only be considered monsterous!
After eavesdropping on her parents conversation, she frowned slightly when she returned to the room.
’What’s wrong with dad? Does he really want to break the relationship he has with mom? Can’t he sense the worry in her tone? And the cracks he’s causing in their relationships?’
A series of questions erupted in her mind.
She couldnt tell what her father was thinking attimes!
’I have to quickly develop vocal cords. I need to warn him! I can only hope it isnt too late by them...’ ciara’s heart was filled with worry, however knowing taht she couldnt change much with her pitiful strength, she sighed and returned back to cultivating.
...
After the meal, amon noticed kayla had drifted off to sleep on his shoulder.
He gently tugged her hair to the side.
"I’m sorry for making you wait so long for me kayla, you must be stressed out..." he muttered as he picked her up in bridal style.
Kayla’s fragrance entered into his nose, like spring breeze, cool and soothing.
There was a faint creaze in her brows as though she was dreaming of something.
Amon could tell that she was completely exhausted.
Taking her to the bedroom, he lay her down on the warm mattress and gently covered her before proceeding to do his dishes and clean up, then turn off everything and join her in bed.
Today was a stressful day, however tomorrow things would only get more unimaginably stressful from here on out!
