However, Angel seemed unaware of the weight on his shoulder as he fiddled with the fluorite in his hand and walked deeper into the warehouse.
The ignored woman in red looked stunned, her expression instantly twisted into an even more terrifying one. With a shrill scream, she extended her long, claw-like nails towards Angel’s back.
But just as her hand was about to touch Angel, she suddenly heard a sigh near her ear.
Before she could react, she was pushed forcefully backward by a powerful force, and with a dull grunt, she collided into a pile of hay in the warehouse.
“To pretend as undead, one should at least understand that undead do not deliberately scare people. They only think about how to kill the living upon seeing them, not scare them from behind,”
As the woman in red lay in the hay, the greenish light gradually shone upon her, and the man who had previously walked into the warehouse approached her, looking down from above: “Also, undead are fallen spirits, you, a living being posing as undead, aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed?”
The woman in red, having her true nature revealed, looked somewhat displeased as she stared darkly at Angel: “You’re not an ordinary person? What are you doing here?”
Angel scrutinized the woman in red. Aside from the previously feigned ferocity, the woman’s appearance was not bad, and her aura lacked murderous intent. This, along with the fact that she had never killed anyone, was why Angel did not strike her down.
Angel: “I’m here to find Jin, take me to him.”
“Looking for Jin?” The woman in red forced herself to sit up from the hay, dropping the sinister demeanor and instead scrutinized Angel, “Who are you, and why are you looking for Lord Jin?”
Without a word, Angel’s body surged with aggressive energy fluctuations.
Feeling the terrifying energy fluctuations, a shock flashed in the eyes of the woman in red as she slowly floated up, suppressing the erupting panic, and said to Angel, “Come with me, Lord Jin is beneath the warehouse.”
She was well aware that she could not deal with the person before her, maybe Lord Jin could handle him.
Still, she hoped they wouldn’t be enemies. If such a powerful foe were to battle with Lord Jin here, the only ones to suffer would be the mortals of the farm.
Angel was unaware of the woman in red’s thoughts. His agreement to follow her did not mean he couldn’t find Jin on his own.
It was just that after confirming Jin was not the master of the Crimson Authority, there was no need to be hostile, hence he was willing to follow the other’s rules.
In a corner of the warehouse, there was an underground chamber concealed by hay. Fresh soil on either side of the staircase indicated that it had only recently been excavated.
It was odd, why would Jin choose to reside here?
They soon arrived at the underground chamber.
To Angel’s surprise, the chamber turned out to be a natural cave.
Before stepping into the cave, laughter came from within, “I was in the midst of an experiment when I detected energy fluctuations above in the warehouse. I never expected it to be you.”
Following the sound, Angel looked forward to see a chubby man with a broad-brimmed hat standing by a pool of water, smiling and speaking to him.
Just like what he had seen in the water mirror image created in Suise, even the insincerity in the smile was strikingly similar.
However, what surprised Angel was that Jin seemed to recognize him and used a term of respect while addressing him.
He had not displayed his strength. In Jin’s eyes, he should appear to be a peak-level Apprentice. In this context, for the other to use a term of respect was somewhat strange to Angel.
“Are you Jin? Do you know me?” Angel asked, puzzled.
Jin nodded, still smiling, “Of course. I came to the Old Earth Continent specifically to find you. I sensed your alchemical anomaly earlier and rushed over, but sadly, I was a step too late. It has been a regret of mine, never expecting to encounter you here. And even more surprisingly, that you would come looking for me.”
