Chapter 138: Chapter 138

Chapter 138

Due to the dark bloody events embellishing the movie, Kaos actually felt so nervous he found breathing to be difficult the moment the scene shifted.

She’ll die! Kaos promptly concluded that if Mathilda was to return at this time, she will definitely end up dying.

Even though the people that massacred her family were law enforcers, those law enforcers were not followers of the principle of not killing the innocent. For their own interest, they will definitely kill Mathilda to silence this matter.

This was the darkness of human nature. Kaos was able to understand it. The darkness that emerged in this movie was much scarier than the villain in ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ It was also much more realistic.

Unfortunately, Kaos was unable to change the plot of the movie. He cannot warn that pitiful little girl.

All he could do was watch as the little girl walked toward home, a scene of death, with groceries she just brought.

At this moment, the camera deliberately closed up on Mathilda’s looks of anticipation. Furthermore, the motion of the movie even slowed down.

When the classical background music slowly started playing, the scene shifted again. The groceries Mathilda brought had appeared outside the hallway to her family’s apartment.

“She should be able to discover what’s going on. After all, Mathilda is the main female lead.”

“But, she’s already standing in the hallway!”

At this moment, Kaos had forgotten about breathing. He could also hear people whispering.

Unfortunately, the audiences in this performance hall were simply unable to provide a helping hand to Mathilda on the screen. The audiences seemed to have forgotten that they were merely watching a fictional story.

To the crowd’s despair, those law enforcers saw Mathilda. Mathilda’s eyes came into contact with the law enforcer standing guard outside her family’s apartment.

The young noble lady next to Kaos didn’t need her senior to help her cover her eyes. She was afraid to watch the upcoming scene and covered her own eyes.

Maybe she would only be arrested by them? Kaos’s ten fingers were interlocked together as he waited to see what would happen.

For this scene, Gallolei’s outstanding acting skills were brilliantly displayed.

When Mathilda discovered her family had been killed by the law enforcers, she pretended to know nothing about them in order to survive. Under the attentive gaze from the law enforcers, she walked past her family’s apartment and arrived before the door of her neighbor’s apartment, the hitman Léon’s apartment.

Apart from being completely stunned, Kaos was unable to find any other way to describe his current emotions.

Mathilda began to sob quiet tears as she pressed on Léon’s doorbell nonstop, begging him to open the door. The impression that scene left behind in the audiences’ hearts far surpassed all those gorgeous characters in stage plays.

That little girl was real. She was so very helpless. At this moment, everyone wanted to extend a helping hand to her.

“Open the door! You’re a hitman, you’re not afraid of killing people, so why are you afraid of opening the door?! C’mon! Open the door!”

While Léon was hesitating, Kaos could hear the soft screams from the young girl sitting beside him.

But, Kaos knew that in a situation like this, the truly cold-blooded assassins would instead choose the preservation of their own safety and disregard a stranger’s cry for help.

If Léon was to open the door, it would be equivalent to saying goodbye to his former life.

But, after repeated hesitations, the demon that was living in disguise in Squirrel Street acted with much kinder heart than the human law enforcers and opened the door.

To Mathilda, Léon’s action was akin to a bright light appearing before her eyes. The demon saved the pitiful little girl from a bunch of ruthless human law enforcers.

Kaos heaved a sigh of relief and leaned back onto his chair... The young noble girl seated near him was so happy by the scene that there were tears in her eyes.

“That is truly lamentable.”

At this moment, his teacher’s voice was suddenly heard from beside him. Kaos turned around and saw that General Fred’s eyes were open.

“Teacher... why is it lamentable?”

Kaos had already forgotten what his teacher General Fred said before the start of the movie. Right now, the only thing in his mind was the movie’s story.

Because of that, he did not notice when General Fed opened his eyes, whether his eyes were open from the very beginning or if he opened his eyes when those law enforcers massacred Mathilda’s family.

Nevertheless, General Fred had ignored his prior proclamation that one should not waste time on something as senseless as a performance.

He was feeling sorry for the character Léon.

“For people of his profession, making that decision is akin to taking a step to one’s tomb.”

General Fred’s voice sounded very sentimental. He seemed to be recalling something from long ago.

“I don’t think there’ll be any problem. Lord teacher, you must’ve not seen the beginning of the movie in your sleep. Léon is very skilled. Furthermore, he possess an arcanotech device for assassination. It is even stronger than the continuous crossbows inscribed with magic runes. Right now, all he’s doing is saving a little girl.”

Even though that was what Kaos was saying, he couldn’t help but remember the ending for ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ That story started out as a happy story about a girl’s chanced encounter with a prince. But, it ended in a tragedy.

Kaos was sincerely hoping for this movie to have a happy ending.

But, as if to confirm what General Fred said, after the demon hitman saved Mathilda, he tried very hard to bring joy to the sad little girl. But, when the little girl fell asleep in his apartment, he took out his weapon and aimed it at Mathilda’s head.

“If I was him, I would kill her,” said General Fred all of a sudden.

General Fred’s comment was heard by the young noble girl sitting beside Kaos.

As the performance hall was too dark, the young noble girl didn’t recognize the person who made that comment was the Nation of Steel’s renowned Iron-blooded Admiral.

“Why... their relationship has been so good before!”

The young noble girl refuted with resentment. But, she did not receive a response from General Fred.

Kaos was someone who has experienced the greater world following his teacher. Because of that, he had interacted with some of this world’s cold-blooded assassins. As such, he knew very well that the demon hitman was in a terrible situation. If he was to bring along a little girl with him, he would be in desperate straits.

Because of that, he began to understand why Léon would point his weapon at the sleeping Mathilda. But, in the end, that demon’s kindness made him incapable of doing that cruel thing.

“Maybe he will be able to give up on his dangerous profession as a hitman,” Kaos tried to be more optimistic toward this story that was going to inevitably become a tragedy.

“That’s impossible. Those dyed with others’ blood will one day receive their payback. That demon is destined to only be able to do that job for all his life. That little girl will only bring him misfortunes,” said General Fred.

“But, that demon is still choosing to protect her...”

Kaos understood why his teacher said that the demon was lamentable. At the same time, he realized what was truly great about that demon killer.
