Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?-Chapter 382 And Then, They Met!

A man with a cold and expressionless face slowly opened his eyes.

Annoying.

...

Botan slowly stood from his bead, irked by the troublesome people at his door.

Yes... Power had already clouded his sense of reasoning, making him feel he was some immortal above them all.

He did get word earlier of their arrival.

He watched them drive in through his blinds but didn't bother to see them.

Sure. He was indeed the culprit, the one making all the killings. But so what?

To Botan, he was the chosen one who had little time to spare with these pesky mortals.

In his opinion, those who died should be happy they were his victims.

It was an honor to go down by his hands!

'What a bother.'

Botan coldly rose, wearing a dark red shirt and a pair of black pants.

He had his hands on his pockets and his body standing proud yet distant, as though telling everyone not to come any closer.

~Chack-cack!

The door opened, and his eyes immediately fell on Bewoh standing beside Payne.

And for some reason, his expressionless face carried a mischievous smile.

"I remember you... Well, well, well... What happened to your so-called loyalty?"

No one said a thing, seeing the duo exchange several rounds of heated eye explosives.

Their stares were filled with gunpowder that could blow up an entire city.

From the looks of things, the 2 must have deep history.

Botan smirked, recalling Bewoh's breakdown back then.

.

You have to know that if it weren't for leaving the Tian estate, he wouldn't have even known who Bewoh was though he was working in the same estate.

There was a chain of command, similar to the military.

There were 2nd in commands and several others with different teams and whatnot.

He, Botan, only dealt with those at the top.

So how could he know someone like Bewoh?

He had probably been the guy but never registered his face. After all, what's the point of knowing those weaker than himself? That was Botan's philosophy in life.

One must always know the strong, keeping the weak as dogs to be sent out at every turn.

Any missions or tasks scheduled, he would take with the team leaders, and they would handle their men/women.

Again, all prominent families had far more guards than one could imagine.

In the Tian household, he oversaw over 600 guards, all living in the same estate. Sometimes, some would leave for missions in another city, staying there for months.

And in other times, people would go abroad to tackle certain issues.

Anyway, with money come threats. So security must always be amped up.

One should bear in mind that these 600 were the Tian couple's private guards.

Those hired for company purposes were different.

As for how he got to remember Bewoh, it was just on the day his betrayal was revealed.

It wasn't just Bewoh he recalled.

Whether Haru, Chan-ki, Zhulyn, Raulin, or that number 4 Butler, Sheng, they all broke out, refusing to follow him and the rest.

They were so depressed and full of emotions wanting to fight.

Heh.

He had the rest beat them up blue, black, and in every other way to teach them a lesson that dogs must always stay on the line with their leashes.

He had been raising his prestige higher for such a day when he left. And many followed him, believing he would lead them to greener pastures.

It can be said that Wei Kwo was a total disappointment, one of his biggest mistakes that led the men to start doubting his vision and abilities.

But you know... He blamed this on the Tian couple.

Had they introduced him to bigger fish, would he be easily tempted by that fat pig called Wei Kwo?

You see? It was all their fault!

.

All matters aside, Botan felt it funny that this guy appeared here out of all places.

His lips arched wickedly.

"With the way I left you earlier, I thought you would work there till you die. But it's barely been a few months since they stayed in slumber. And now, you've already switched jobs... It appears your loyalty was just so-so."

Bewoh stated at Botan, showing no fluctuations from his provocations. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

"I think I need to correct your delusions. I still work for the young master, the lady, and the master. But... It's not a crime for one to have a second job, no?"

But An chuckled. "No."

"Good... Now then, move out of the way."

Bitan squinted his eyes dangerously. "With pleasure."

Wait till I kill you and your beloved masters tonight! 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

Botan's smile stretched even more. "Come in... My room is big enough to take you all in. But remember, don't mess things up."

"Really? You seem to forget we're here to investigate. Messing things up is a given... Or have your brain cells suddenly lost their touch?"

Pfff!~

Ghu Sota and several others couldn't help themselves.

Hey... Who would've known their always calm and majestic-looking elder Bewoh had such a sharp tongue?

Aiy~

Where was the popcorn when they needed it?

"Very funny," Botan commented, his face slightly distorted.

"I know during such investigations, I shouldn't be in the room. 2 hours is all the time you have."

Botan peeled his eyes off his room, planning to leave. But how could things be so simple?

"Not so fast... You are the only one who has come down to give their statement. And as they say, if the mountain doesn't come to the sea, then the seas shall flood its banks!... So please... Stay... You're more needed here than you think."

"_" [Investigators, Field Agents]

Why was this guy suddenly taking over their job? And what's with all this cut-throat drama? Don't you know your going back and forth is making us anxious?

Even Payne kept his hands in a ready-to-go position in case the 2 clashed.

Their gunpowder was just too much!

Botan rubbed his ring subconsciously while Bewoh nodded to the other academy disciples.

'You know what to do.'

Seal the room!
