Deception
The sword stopped at a hairsbreadth distance from his neck.
Yeman did not proceed because a telepathic voice came in. It was from one of his people, from Dark Priest.
"My Lord, thanks for the gifts."
After hearing the word gift, he assumed that he meant the goons.
No problem," he flatly said as he was doing something important at the moment. Although he was talking with the Dark Priest, his eyes didn't avert from the person.
And his Killing sword was caressing his neck. Just a little push would end a person's life.
Just as he thought the Dark Priest already ended the telepathy, he heard him saying, "Actually, my lord, I had a breakthrough, and not just that, I learned a new skill."
"Eh really?"
Yeman was surprised. He was busy these past days and not able to check their statuses.
Elder Dark Priest made a nod by slightly moaning.
