Lord Shadow

Chapter 1797: Who Tied the Knot?

He spared the old man and even give him a purpose.

Train his knife strike and one day, come again to take revenge on him

For a man who loses everything what Loki should do is give him a purpose.

At least he would try to live. And who knows? Maybe, someday, he would find new joy in life.

Then Loki has the merit of saving a life.

In the kitchen, the old man is making coffee but Loki is not interested in knowing whether the old man put poison or not in his drinks.

Instead, Loki wanted to relax for a second.

The journey toward the Untainted Island has not been kind to him.

And it is also because there is injuries in his neck.

He did not show it but that old man strike did hurt him. It is just that he managed to turn the truth to lies just at the right moment that knife strike almost reached the level of Concepts and touches upon the Law of Destruction.

It is a strike that old man has been perfecting all of his life.

Loki could guess how such a killing intent was transformed

Since the moment, he wanted to take his renege, this old man probably has never use a sword or attack anyone. He compressed all of those killing intent, pushing it down and unleash it all in one strike.

For all of those years, one moment, one strike to determine life and death

And that one strike, Loki daresay that if he was not fast enough, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would be severely injured.

Loki appreciates talent.

This old man is unknown. Which means he did not appear in the history that Loki knows. But his talent with the knife is real.

Probably in the history that he came from, this man already died. Or maybe his talent was not recognized.

There is thousands of possibilities.

On one hand, Loki wanted to give the old man a purpose. On the other hand, he is also appreciate the talent of this man in creating such a method.

Then he look outside the window. This place is quite peaceful he thought to himself. There is the tall green grass, the wind blowing and the grass sways.

The grass gives him a different feeling than when he was in the Steppe. The Steppe gives him this sense of grand vastness of space

This place gave him that feeling of a summer evening.

And the breezy wind that sometime blows from the outside and enter into the face make him feels like he is seeing greenery in the Alps.

It make him feel peaceful.

He did not seem to care about the assassination attempt on his life before.

Because he took responsibility for the Multiversal Convergences, for the past twenty years, his life is full of assassination attempt.

It is a hassle but it also help him hone his vigilance. ”Hereʼs your coffee” the old man put down a cup of coffee in front of him. ”Today, would be my last day opening this café” Hearing this Loki smiles.

He could guess that the old man has accepted his offer. He would go out and see the world and probably hone his strike. ”Next time, I will take your head”

Loki only nodded.

He takes a sip of coffee as he look outside and around fifteen minutes later, Hatta and Hamad come back to the café.

They seem relieved and at the same time puzzled that Loki is still here.

They were relieved that they could ask Loki more question and puzzled because they thought that Loki would go away by now.

That has always bene the case when Loki met the agents of the world power.

He would pretend not to see them and the agents would pretend not to see him.

Only a few people would not be able to forgive him would try to go against the directive order and try to fight him or kill him ”Come on, sit down” Loki ask as he waves his hand and two chairs slide itself to his table. Hatta and Hamad look at each other and sighed.

They know they could not push away this kindness. So, they sit down ”What did your people say?”

Hamad and Hatta look at Loki and they smiles bitterly. Loki has always been a big figure. A fearsome figure.

But maybe because Hatta and Hamad knows Loki personably, even though they also in awe of Loki powers, it is not to the point of worship or fear.

This is because they have some connection. There is the connection when they met Loki in the early years of the Fall.

And in the past twenty years, there were a few times when they met each other.

Hamad and Hatta himself has some connection with Death Monarch and knows a few bits about Death Monarch past

So, they did not feel that much.

But when they reported the matter to headquarters, the headquarters quickly patched them through the direct line reaching through Narleod himself.

And the response of Narleod toward Loki is shocking

Only then, that they know how fearsome Loki was in the minds of the world leaders

Loki did not seems impatient to hear their answer. He takes another sip of the coffee and then Hamad says ”he is coming” he paused for a second and then added ”With Storm Tide”

Loki chuckles a bit ”he is bit too cautious donʼt you think?” Hamad would agree in the past.

But it is only now he is reminded who Loki is.

This is a person that use to rule the world.

Even though he was only a regent in that span of time, he rules the world. And even now, outside of Pandemonium, he is even more in his elements.

He could negotiate with the world powers and talk and laugh with the baddest and violent SOBS in the world from the Crime Alliance.

Every place could be his home and everyone could be his friend. His actions always change the world.

Only now, he remember who this person really is and because of that there is this sense of fear.

It is not cautious at all to bring Storm Tide here.

Instead, Hamad thinks that if itʼs not restricted by the internal problem in the League of Freedom right now, Narleod would bring more guns and ammo. ”What are you going to do now? When your ship being spotted you should not have landed. And since you have landed, you should have go. Why stay?”

Loki only smiles at this. ”There is a problem in the Untainted Land” ”Obviously” That is evident by the injuries of the people Loki brought with him. People from inside the Untainted Land. ”Do you know what the problem is?” They both shakes their head

Loki put down his coffee and then he began telling them what he saw in the Untainted land

Hamad and Hatta expression right now is like they are eating a fly. It is full of frown and full of disbelief. For a moment, they seem to be trying to calm themselves down.

Loki is leisurely taking another sip of his coffee. It is about to run out. They sighed and then they look back at Loki ”If this is true, then should we ask the world powers to send someone into the Untainted Land?” Hatta ask but Hamad shakes his head ”Non-intervention. That was the policy of the world powers” ”There must be an exception. The Untainted Land is now going out of control. If we let the time keep flowing the way it does, in a few years, it might be too late and another war might happen” ”To them it would be hundreds of eyas but to us it would only be a few years. So, shouldnʼt we take some precaution ”There is no need to go that far. The Untainted Land is not an easy place to go into. You should know about this if you read your manuals”

At this Hamd had no choice but to agree. The world inside the Untainted land and the world outside of the Untainted land is very different. Not to mention, not many people would risk their life to enter into the Untainted Land. ”Even though they broke the connection between our world and the Untainted Land, I am pretty sure the rules and laws of the Untainted Land is still quite in place. Anyone entering the Untainted Land would be forced back into Disk Formation realm. It would only harm our people if we send people there.” ”Then, we let them go?” Loki shakes his head with a smile ”How could we just let them go?” ”Then, what do you suggest?” ”Those who tied the knot should be the one to untied it”

Hearing this, Hamad took a second to understand what Loki is trying to say and then his eyes narrows.

The one that created this land is four people. Raymond, Hikigaya, Oreki and Death Monarch Which one should untie the knot? And how to summon those four people here? >>>
