Chapter 380: The Precursor to Shadow Demon's Evolution

The moment Ligeia's voice came through, David shuddered violently, his face betraying a clear sense of panic.

It was like when he was playing games at home in secret, suddenly hearing the sound of his parents unlocking the door. He was in such a flurry that he nearly fell off his chair as it was too high—almost tumbling down.

Clearly, David had subconsciously treated "Miss Aleister's" words as a secret that nobody else should know.

Not until he turned around and saw that the person entering was indeed Ligeia did his anxious expression begin to settle.

Seeing David shrink back in fear, Ligeia's eyes narrowed and she scolded, "What the hell are you cringing for when you see me! Are you here stealing or hitting on someone? Committing a crime?"

"No, I haven't..."

Ligeia's words had scared David so much that his eyes widened as he hastily tried to explain.
