A Carefully Devised Plot

Just as Elder Seville was about to abandon Irving and the others in a fit of rage and proceed alone, a strange noise suddenly emanated from the ominous building ahead.

Everyone's eyes turned towards the sinister structure.

Benjamin and Anna, who were closest to the eerie building, widened their eyes and remained on high alert, ready for any monster that might appear at any moment.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Irving slowly emerged from the building.

Irving's face was pale, and a trace of blood lingered at the corner of his mouth.

Elder Seville's expression changed dramatically upon seeing Irving, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"You finally made it back! I was just worrying about you!" Elder Seville said with concern.

Lying was second nature to Elder Seville. He didn't need any mental preparation to utter lies that even he himself wouldn't believe.
