Chapter 64: Entering the Boss Room
"It seems you didn't disappoint me this time."
Caelius's words hung in the air, but instead of celebration, they were met with awkward silence. Uncle Gold and the two siblings, Karl and Fiona, exchanged uneasy glances. None of them could comprehend what had just transpired. If there was one thing they could be absolutely sure of, it was that they had contributed next to nothing in the fight against the four ghouls.
As this tense moment lingered, Caelius, oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, stood tall. Old Bone, on the other hand, had just managed to get back on his feet, his hollow eyes widening in bafflement as he surveyed the battlefield. His gaze fell on the mutilated forms of his men, now reduced to broken, defeated shadows of their former selves.
"What… what happened here?!" Old Bone demanded, his voice filled with disbelief and fury.
