Chapter 332
[Shout out to Howellsy, ALMIGHT_FLEX, and Abdul!]
Lucky 332
The Vindicators immediately imprison the followers of the Council of Torment. They began torturing them and extracting information from them.
At first, the followers kept their mouths shut, even though they were in excruciating pain. However, it was obvious that they too would break.
Eventually, they began to sing what the Vindicators wanted. The Vindicators learned that another person had infiltrated the Ancient Library. This unknown man was fighting against the Council of Torment.
The Vindicators gathered enough information. But unfortunately, they did not get what they wanted to know the most.
"So you don't know how they infiltrated the Ancient Library?"
"Yes, it seemed that only Puti knew the exact way."
Principal Lycan sighed. What he wanted was to know how they infiltrated so that he could prevent it from happening again.
"Looks like we can only increase our security."
Berto Alb agreed.
"What about the unknown person? What was his motive?"
"So far we have no idea. However, we have confirmed that he stole a Chimera egg."
Unlike the Council of Torment, which focused on books and scriptures. The unknown person stole an egg instead.
"You may leave now."
Under the disappointment, the Principal's eyes glowed deeply. It was obvious that he wanted to take revenge. But the Council of Torment was always hiding in the dark, and their movements were unknown to him.
Suddenly, while the Principal was having a gloomy day, his phone rang. He frowned when he realized who was calling him.
"What is it, Pope Slavko? What? You want to talk to me? I see, I see... So the pig king is at least doing his job. Huh? And what if I say that he is a pig? He's so fat that he can't see his penis when he pisses! And why do you ask me how I know that? Isn't it obvious!"
He growled.

The night passed and Lou opened her eyes. The place was quite noisy and people were walking around.
She lifted her head and realized that she was in the hospital. The place was busy because a lot of people were injured.
She had no idea why she was here. Her mind was a bit confused and she felt like she had forgotten something important.
The nurses just looked at her and didn't bother to check her out. Lou wanted to ask them, but when she saw their reactions, she timidly closed her mouth.
A few minutes passed and she jumped when she remembered something.
'Calix!'
That's right, she remembered meeting Calix in the alley. Then the Aberrants started to attack and kidnap Calix, but thankfully he came back.
She tried to get up but stopped when a man approached her.
"I'm glad you're okay."
Lou looked at the man.
The man had bangs that covered his face. He didn't have anything unique facial features, but Lou clearly identified him.
She smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes. She sobbed weakly, she was happy.
Calix stroked her hair and Lou smiled. She thought it was a dream, but the truth was sweet as candy.
"I'm sorry you woke up in this place. I tried to negotiate with the doctors to let you rest in a private room, but they wouldn't agree. They said you were quite healthy and just needed to sleep."
At that time, Calix was actually angry and wanted to fight the doctors. But he understood that he was being arrogant. As a man, he wanted the best for his woman. Since he had the financial ability, he wanted to give Lou the best he could.
But when he saw Lou's tired face, he decided to steel his heart and let her rest in this crowded place than fight the doctors.
"It's okay. I'm fine now, thank you C-- I mean Lucky. Thank you, Lucky."
She blushed as she realized she almost said his real name.
They smiled at each other.
But the atmosphere became awkward. Neither of them knew what to say. Lou was too shy to ask about Calix, while Calix wanted her to take her time and rest her mind.
"So..."
"Y-yeah."
They haven't seen each other for almost two years now and they want to have a real conversation. It was already obvious that they have feelings for each other. Still, it was rather embarrassing to talk about it.
"Excuse me, this woman looks healthy and I checked her vitals. Could you please give this bed to another patient? There are people who need this bed more than she does."
The old nurse said it in a condescending tone and Calix didn't like it. He frowned and tried to talk to her, but Lou grabbed his arm instead.
"Yes, the other patient can have the bed."
She smiled at the nurse.
"Lou, you need to rest."
"I'm fine. The nurse is right, a person need this bed more than I do."
Calix had no choice but to give her what she wanted. He still glared at the nurse, but the nurse just shrugged. The nurse was just doing her job.
"Okay, fine."
"L- Lucky, what are you doing?"
Lou was confused when Calix carried her like a princess. She remembered Calix carrying her last night too. She was embarrassed last night and she was still embarrassed now.
"You're not heavy, so you don't have to be afraid."
Calix assured her, but Lou became shy instead. Her face was already red and she hid her face.
Calix carried her out of the hospital. It was quite romantic to be honest.
"Tch. Fucking normies."
The old nurse who witnessed the scene clicked her tongue in annoyance. As she began to change the sheets, she frowned when she found something embarrassing.
She looked behind her and noticed that her white uniform was stained with red blood.
"Why? My period was supposed to start in three days."
Her mood sank again. She decided to use the sheet to cover the fact that she was bleeding! Unfortunately, the other person still saw it, and her face became ugly and humiliated.
