Chapter 138: Chapter 87: Hidden Mission

Next afternoon, in the sewers

Kai had returned after pledging his sword to Cersei. He still remembered her touch, her moist lips, and her scent. Kai longed to experience those things again. He longed for them dearly.

It seemed odd for a boy like Kai to have such desires. If he was a demon, he was a demon of slaughter, not of lust. Then why?

To achieve the peak of absolute power!

That was Kai’s only goal. But even he didn’t want to lose his wits in the endless search for this path. A path where Kai needed to take every step with caution and after much calculation. And this desire of his for the women was the only leeway he had given himself in his previous life. No, not out of lust. But out of necessity.

Kai was no stranger to sex. With the world population dwindling in his previous life, sex was the second most important thing in the people’s lives after a Beast’s blood essence. If there was an option, a man could have many wives. Even exchanging husbands and wives was encouraged to bring more genetic diversity.

Kai himself was promised to a daughter of a high lord. What was her name? Kai tried to remember but failed. Even if I had married her, I doubt there was any love possible between us. He liked older women, as he had found out later. The women he had fucked were mostly the wives of men he had wanted to kill. All he had ever wanted to do was to gather the intel. But when this necessity became a habit, Kai couldn’t remember.

That’s where the rumor of all the rapes had come from. Bitches couldn’t even see in my eyes when they accused me, Kai recalled. Was it my fault they poured everything out about their husbands when I was inside them?

Kai shook his head. Then he remembered the notification.

I was expecting a Side Mission, Kai thought. A Hidden Mission, though? It was a pleasant surprise.

Kai had accepted it there and then.

Cersei never asked about Jon Arryn’s current location, Kai thought. What a cunning woman! She knows I will go back to her. If it’s up to her, she will suck me dry before discarding me too. I like it, though.

Kai knew the risks, but there was still a sly grin on his face.

“Why are you smiling?” Jon Arryn asked. “Does my misfortune amuse you, boy?”

Kai faced the old man. There was no shortage of food, water, and even wine here, but the Hand looked like an overgrown rat. The mask did little to prevent Jon Arryn from gagging on the constant stench, Kai knew. The wound on his left hand had been treated with boiled wine and fire, but it still pained him.

“No, my lord,” Kai said, shaking his head. “How would it amuse me when there is no misfortune to even speak of?”

“Spare me your cunning remarks, boy,” Jon Arryn chided, panting all along. “I don’t know what you have said to the queen. But remember, it won’t be long before the guards come down sweeping the sewers. Time is running out for you. Heed my counsel, Arlen. Heed. It’s still not too late for you.”

This time, Kai chuckled. “You are wrong, my lord,” Kai said, amusingly. “Time has run out hours ago, you should have said. The guards you are eagerly waiting for had already come and gone in the morning. Oh! I feel so sorry for you.”

Jon Arryn gaped. His eyes widened in the sheer enormity of the lie Kai had spoken. If it was a lie, that is. “Nonsense!” Jon Arryn rebuked. “The sewer lines under the city are vast, yes. I agree. But not that vast for the guards to not scour it thoroughly.”

 The Hand was right. The day before, Kai had indeed planned to change their location from sewers to someplace else. But that was then. He hadn’t gotten his hands on Koffing’s blood essence then. With his Ability of Filth Manipulation and one other thing, Kai was the master of the sewers.

That other thing was…

It was the perfect Skill for Kai. Combined with his Heat Sense, Kai could unleash havoc among enemies. Yes, there was a limitation of 5 min. Cooldown before he could use another Skill, but with a ten-minute long Time Limit and them being in the sewers, this limitation mattered little.

Kai grinned. I could have killed all of them like swatting flies, Kai thought, remembering the guards running away with misty eyes, scratching themselves all along. But wanton killing is not beneficial everywhere. Kai didn’t have the greatest of patience. But regarding this, he was right. Kill two, and four more would have appeared. Kai had learned it in his previous life at a substantial cost.

Kai looked at his HP and MP bar. They were as full and bright as they could get. His stomach was full, and a good nap after his morning adventure had washed away all his tiredness.

“Worry less, my lord,” Kai said, standing up. “I will be back soon.”

It’s time, Kai told himself, walking away from Jon Arryn along the tunnel’s wall. I shouldn’t wait any longer.

Time? Yes. Time for a prophecy.
