Chapter 182: Fatherly Sense
Chapter 182: Fatherly Sense
As the girl was still looking at them, Bob and Yaro instantly froze as if they had the same thing on their mind.
Could it be that the father of the two girls they kidnapped was all-powerful? Could he hear his daughter’s desperate screams begging for help even from this soundproof closed room?
Slowly but surely, the two of them looked back with their own worries.
It was just… The fierce father that they thought could enter this room silently and without means was not behind them. There was no one behind them.
At that time, only one thing came to mind… They had just been tricked.
“Nice try, little girl. We took your word for it.” Bob put on an exasperated expression and looked back at Sylvia.
However, the girl who had just tricked them was just playing something from what wasn’t there before. It was like a small plank the girl kept tapping with her finger.
“Hmm? What are you saying? Just wait a minute, and he will come here. I’m not lying.” Sylvia smiled as she continued to type something on her Swype.
“Wow, Lys… You type so fast. No wonder you reply at such an unusual speed.” Elysia glanced at the girl leaning against her.
“Yes, Ais, I’m used to it. Umm, sent… And one is given a timer, pending… Hehe, aren’t I kind enough? You lecherous people have business with my father, and I called him to come here. You can convey your grievances and grief to him directly.” Sylvia giggled sweetly. She felt that she was only helping these people.
After that, she put her Swype back into her Space Bag on her waist. Then, slipped her hand again into the rope which had loosened up… She was returned to being a captive.
“Huh! What did you just do? What do you mean by send? And again, how did your hand escape that tight knot?” Yaro didn’t understand at all. He just wanted to jump to the girl and devour her, but his brain was still thinking about the reason.
“Hmm… As I said, my father will be here soon. In about a minute, just wait, and you will get your reward.” Sylvia casually replied. She didn’t pretend to have an expression of fear or anxiety anymore, just her usual self.
But what could be seen, only the two captive girls looked out of place and didn’t seem to remember their current situation …
“Haha! You think we’ll swallow your words again? You’re just trying to stall the inevitable, little girl. You think you can get out of here in just a minute?” Yaro loudly laughed while holding his jiggling stomach.
“You think just because the rope that ties your hand is loose and that you can escape from here? Hahaha! Funny, but wasted effort.” Bob laughed too, but he got closer to Sylvia on the big bed. He wanted to tighten the rope that tied the girl.
“I’m not lying, really. Just wait a minute or so, and you will find out. It’s only about sixty seconds or a little more. At that time, I won’t ask you to thank me.” Sylvia reassured the kidnappers once again.
She knew that her father was probably had an angry expression right now. Perhaps, he was speeding up unconventionally with the way these two stupid humans could not imagine.
“You’re boasting more nonsense? One minute, hmm? What can you do in that one minute? You two are just two helpless little girls, and we are two robust adults. You won’t win. Look, now your hands are tightly tied. ” Bob did something to the rope and made it tie the captive hand properly.
“Humph! You don’t believe it, so let it be like that. I also didn’t force you to believe me. If my father didn’t come here, maybe my sister and I could only be devoured by two evil wolves helplessly. Ais, we are now rabbits or sheep?” Sylvia looked at her friend. She appeared so innocent and no longer cared about their current situation.
“…If there are wolves, then I only know rabbits.” Elysia was speechless for a moment but still answered nonetheless.
“Yes! Then we are two helpless rabbits who will be devoured by two evil wolves if the hero does not come to save the day.” Sylvia was jubilant.
She only recalled a fairy tale, and it didn’t mean that they would become rabbits, let alone allowed herself or her friend to be devoured by the evil wolves.
“Hum! One minute. What can you do in one minute with such confidence? You read too many fairy tale books, little girl.” Bob gave a harsh grunt.
He stood beside the big bed while observing the two girls with some thoughts. The two girls were no longer afraid and seemed to be just waiting for something. His friend seemed worried about something like him, too. They were hesitant and feeling that something was amiss.
“Lys, you got a signal underground like this? Is it really being sent?” Elysia asked without paying any more attention to the two pensive kidnappers.
“Yup, my message never failed to get to my father. But strangely, sometimes my message was sent but delayed, but it was only to you, Ais. What happened? Did you put it in your Space Bag?” Sylvia asked with the most probable guess.
“Ah, err…” Elysia didn’t know what to admit because it was true.
“That’s right? Ah, really… No wonder… Nevermind, the important thing is you continuously reply to my message without a long delay.” Sylvia just closed that topic. She just wanted to know about it and didn’t blame her friend or anything.
Meanwhile, some time ago in Rosemoor City’s downtown area… Or rather, at an inn for adventurers named Lovely Bone… Dylan decided to stop examining the relics and items that were scattered in his room.
It was something he dug at the bottom of a giant lake in Avrora Forest with his daughter from this morning to evening. The room was filled with lots of relics of medium and small sizes that he had just examined. As for the large ones, he only kept it in a few tens of his Space Bags.
“It’s amazing, but I can’t take care of everything. There are many relics and items with the symbol similar to the gold block found by that human girl…” Dylan let out a soft sigh. Many tasks were awaiting him solely for knowledge.
“Ugh! Useless, I have to return to my palace. My special team will be of great help.” Dylan grumbled while tidying up all the scattered items back into his Space Bags.
“But I told my daughter to go on an adventure with her in the Human Continent… It’s quite difficult, hmm… Can something like granting a wish make her less angry and sulking?” After his room was tidy, Dylan muttered to himself while rubbing his chin.
He had a plan to return to Devil Continent, returning to his palace because of all these unexpected findings. Indirectly, he thanked that human girl, but that was only in his subconscious mind.
However, his daughter became a problem that cannot be taken lightly. His words would remain valid because he always held his promises seriously, and it must be true. But it only applies to the individual whom he deemed close to him.
“Well, it’s only for a few months. Sylvia will agree if I grant her one wish for later. Well then, it’s decided… I better tell her while she’s chatting with Ai, ahem, that human girl, so we can go tonight. Hm, while that Human Emperor girl is still here, I might as well tell her with a few reasons and excuses.” After thinking for a few moments, Dylan made the best decision.
The Devil Emperor nodded confidently. He believed it would work as usual, just like every time he changed his promise to his daughter a little. Sylvia was his understanding daughter. She would tolerate some things if he offered one wish as compensation.
However, when he was about to leave the room to go to his daughter’s room, his fatherly sense warned him about the emergency.
With a sense of urgency, he used his magic to turn himself into a black mist and rushed to his daughter’s room without waiting for a second to pass.
“Huh? That girl, really… She didn’t heed what I said. Did she come out to play with her human friend? If she went out with that Human Emperor girl, she should be fine, and they’ll be back soon.” Dylan emerged from the black mist and turned into himself. He looked around the room with his magic, and it was indeed empty without any sign of life.
“Then, what was that hunch earlier? Our bloodline connection is valid. It can’t be wrong. Is it possible that something could harm that Human Emperor girl? Or that human girl is harming my daughter? This is bad! I have to find my daughter right now.” Dylan frowned with a worried expression. There were many worries in his mind right now, from the worst to the worse of the worst.
