Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil-Novel

"Now you tell me, what should I do?"

Nysa's question jolted Eren out of his thoughts, stopping his fishing expedition. He vanished his fishing rod with a wave of his hand and took a long drag of his Sativa Stick before reducing it to ashes.

Staring at the endless stretch of the river before him, Eren mused to himself, "Arthur and Isen have been at each other's throats for ages. They require only a slight provocation to trigger their bitter enmity. So it's no surprise they're at it again."

He squinted his eyes. A new revelation dawned on him.

"But...I never saw this coming. The butcher's ties to the Layos Kingdom will ruin his popularity in Edinburgh. What was once deemed freedom fighting will now be viewed as foreign machinations."ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴovel(F)ɪre

A humorless smile twisted Eren's lips as he sighed.

"It seems rumors can gain traction regardless of their factual accuracy. And I'm sure people will believe anything that appeals to their logic."

Nysa furrowed her brows in confusion, unable to understand Eren's words.

"I don't understand...Why do you care if the Butcher's reputation is affected by recent events?"

Eren's expression turned distant, his lips pursed in contemplation. He gazed up at the expansive blue sky above them before responding.

"Hehe. You're right. It's not my concern. It's not my concern at all."

Eren let go of his unofficial title's fate with a dismissive wave of his hand. He scratched under his ear, then tugged at his earlobe quickly before speaking further.

"As for your question, Nysa, I suggest you join the frontline. Believe it or not, you'll be safer there than within the kingdom hunting the half-bloods."

Nysa was perplexed by Eren's advice. "Why do you say that?" she asked, tilting her head to the side.

Eren answered immediately.

"Arthur is driven by emotions. He should have focused only on Layos, even if he wanted revenge for Jason's death. Going the extra mile to hunt half-bloods will waste a lot of his manpower.

What's more? Some things are better left undisturbed. Blood Punisher Force operates independently and won't tolerate Arthur's interference."

Eren leaned against the deck's railing, enjoying the fresh breeze on his face. He tapped his fingers on the wood before continuing, his mind wandering to Reva's sudden disappearance just before he could finish her.

"Secret forces are difficult to control. And isolation from society changes people. Those in secret forces may even plot against regular rankers if forced to work with them."

He paused for a moment before adding.

"And half-blood forces have become even more dangerous with their space-element runes. They're like cheats that escape almost any dangerous situation.

I am betting half-bloods will play spoilers in the war. They will make the most of these turbulent times.

Plus, they won't be as afraid to leave their woodwork anymore. Thanks to those runes, they will not be afraid to use kamikaze attacks with those runes as their safety net."

Eren easily deduced how Reva Rain escaped him from the battlefield after the Last Blood Bastion disappeared. He glanced down at his right hand, where Sansara World 2.0 tattoo briefly appeared before vanishing.

He realized he needed to ask Maya how JJ had utilized Sansara Sage's knowledge. Eren wanted a cheat code like that for himself, as he knew Sansara Sage's knowledge would be a game-changer.

Eren also understood that Sansara World had more applications than he initially thought, and Edgar discovered a groundbreaking way to use it.

Eren had many projects waiting for him, but he couldn't work on them while in the capital. He had to wait until the commencement ceremony was over and leave the city.

Maya managed to escape Sansara World just before its detonation.

She appeared inside Sansara World 2.0, which Eren won after obtaining Sansara Sage's legacy. Eren was relieved that he had made a deal with Maya and destroyed Sansara World. He knew the Duke would have been on his tail otherwise.

"Eren!"

Nysa's voice interrupted his thoughts. Her expression was tinged with annoyance.

Eren's attention shifted to Nysa, who was dressed in a striking blue sundress that complemented her light blue hair. The dress featured a wide neckline and exposed her shoulders, with abstract patterns near the wrists of the sleeves. The dress hugged her curves perfectly and added elegance to her appearance.

Her black stockings reached her ankles, completing the look. Eren couldn't help but notice how her hair danced in the wind, adding to her beauty.

"Why are you ignoring me like that?" Nysa repeated her question, her eyes still fixed on Eren.

"Keke. I'm sorry. I was off on a tangent after listening to your report. My bad. Anyway, What were you saying?"

Nysa sighed when she witnessed Eren's uncaring attitude. She took a long breath before repeating something she had just said. She told him that she would keep him informed about Arthur's movements and that she expected to be sent to the front lines after the commencement ceremony.

Nysa inquired if she could leave after providing Arthur's information as requested. Eren responded with a smile and a chuckle.

"Of course. But why are you hurrying to leave? We still have an entire day ahead of us. Let's make good use of our time shall we?"

Eren vanished with a bolt of lightning and reappeared in front of Nysa. He drew close to her face and whispered in her ear.

"You know, I can't send you to the front lines without you getting something very significant from me. Something you really need. Call it a pre-graduation gift."

Nysa was taken aback by Eren's sudden approach but welcomed his proximity. She breathed in his scent and savored it as she asked dazedly.

"And... what would that be?"

Eren wrapped his arms around Nysa's waist before she could finish her question. With a smirk on his face, he whispered in her ear again.

"Dicking. You need some good dicking, Nysa darling. Something that will blow your mind and make you forget everything about everything.

Tell me... are you interested in such an experience?"
