Chapter 377 Mad Slaughterer
After she spoke, the space fluctuated in the corner and a feminine figure in shiny pink robes materialized out of nowhere. Looking closely, one could see that the figure wasn't a female, but a very delicate-looking male.
Looking at Flavia up and down, he revealed his pearly white teeth and let out a strange laugh, "Hehe, as expected of my favourite young miss, I can't hide from your senses."
Flavia flinched upon hearing his creepy laughter, and her shapely brows wrinkled in disgust. Tonelessly, she asked again, "You still haven't told me, what's the purpose of your visit?"
The pink robed man's eyes flashed with a chilly light for a moment before he resumed his previous attitude and laughed again, "Hehe, rest assured, young miss. Your life is not in danger… yet."
Hearing this, Flavia visibly relaxed and only now she realised that her heart was beating wildly and her back was already drenched with her cold sweat.
From this, it could be seen that she was afraid, no, terrified of this womanish man. Not only she, but almost everyone who knew of him was afraid of him. Because despite his gentle and seemingly friendly appearance, he was a very ruthless man and cold-blooded man.
Once, he was annoyed by a peak three-star mage who was also a viscount of a small city. But he didn't care whether that viscount had several three-star and hundreds of two-star mages protecting his manor or he was the underling of one of the three strongest families of the kingdom. He went ahead and killed him. At that time, he was only a middle-stage three-star mage.
However, this wasn't the reason people dreaded him. They dreaded him because after killing the viscount; he didn't stop and killed every living soul in the viscount manor from newborn children to elderly and then proceeded to kill everyone he found in the city.
After the Royal family came to know of this tragedy, they sent several peak three-star mages to kill him, but he killed half of them instead and despite being severely injured, he still escaped. From then on, he was called "Crazy Slaughterer"
When people of the Royal family were hunting him down, Flavia's second mother, who is also Janice's blood mother, happened to come across him and saved him.
Because she had a close relationship with the 2nd imperial concubine, the royal family absolved Mad slaughterer of his crimes under the condition that she made sure he never harmed innocents again.
From then on, Mad Slaughterer became a pawn in her hands. Over the years, he had secretly killed many people who opposed her.
Taking a deep breath, Flavia coldly asked, "Why are you here, then?"
"I'm here to relay mistress' message to you, young miss." Mad Slaughterer said, amused at her reaction. He then coughed lightly and continued,
"I don't plan to punish you for going against my orders and not joining the Royal academy with young master Dalton. However, it is unacceptable for you to be close to another man when you already have a fiancée. It is a disgrace for our noble family. However, since you are 'my daughter', I forgive you once again. But remember, if after this, I hear you are still in contact with that boy in the academy, don't blame me if suddenly dies."
When Flavia heard this, her delicate body started trembling and her eyes turned blood red as if they will spit fire in the next instant.
Faint ripples of murderous aura started emitting from her. She clenched her fists so tight that the nails dug into her flesh and droplets of blood started dripping down.
Finally, unable to restrain herself, she raised her head and cursed loudly, "You dirty bitch! You dare threaten me. I'll kill—"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Mad slaughterer moved toward her and gripped her by her throat. Looking into her eyes with a murderous look, he coldly said, "Young miss, be mindful of the words that come out of your mouth. If not, I don't mind digging your tongue out."
Sensing his murderous intent, Flavia shivered in terror, and her hair stood on ends.
However, despite being terrified, she put on a mocking expression and spoke with difficulty, "You dirty bas…tard. I dare… you to… kill me."
"Oh?" Mad slaughterer clenched her neck tighter and asked. "You think I dare not?"
Cough! Cough!
Flavia coughed and spoke with the same mocking expression, "Hehe… do you?"
Mad Slaughterer looked into her eyes for a second before he suddenly revealed a brilliant smile, "You are right. I dare not. However, that's only because you are of some use to my mistress."
Saying this, he released her neck and patted her cheek, "Take care, young miss." He then turned around and blended into the darkness.
Flavia looked toward his vanishing figure and said, "Tell that bitch if she dare to touch even a single hair of head, I'll do everything it takes to end her."
"Oh? I will tell her." Mad slaughterer sounded a bit surprised.
Flavia stared at the void in front of her, her eyes flashing with intense hatred and killing intent.
After a while, she calmed down and took the small wooden box Max gave her and stared at it, her eyes flickering with tender emotions.
In the end, she clenched the box tightly and murmured, "I can't put your life in danger. I hope you will not hate me."
…
Max, unaware of the fact that someone has just threatened Flavia to stay away from him, reached Elder Jasmine's place.
Seeing that it was him, the two female guards informed Jasmine's personal maid of his arrival. The maid came out to welcome him and directly led him to Jasmine's room.
Knock! Knock!
The maid knocked on the door and called out, "Mistress, young master, Max has arrived."
"Have him come in." Jasmine's voice sounded out from inside.
The maid glanced at Max with a bashful expression and gestured with her hands, "Young master, please."
"Mhm. Thank you." Max nodded, pushed open the door, and entered the room.
