Aric's smirk widened as he disguised himself as Ye Chen, his aura concealed by the illusion. "Why should I go into battle if someone else can do it for me? Ha ha ha." His eyes glinted with malice as he stood at the mouth of Long Tianyun's cave, waiting for his target to hear him.
If Aric wanted he could have resolved the whole situation using his mind control powers. But he wanted to see the protagonist in agony. That was the reason behind him putting so much efforts.
"My dear Protagonist-sama, if I have you, then I can stay lazy," he thought, chuckling darkly. "Let's see how far your rage will take you."
Aric raised his voice, tauntingly. "You orphan, Long Tianyun! Come outside, or I'll make Daniela a whore!"
The words echoed through the cave, striking Long Tianyun like a hammer to his soul. That voice...! His eyes shot open in shock, his entire body tensing. "Ye Chen...?" he muttered, but the next words made his blood boil.
