My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 613: Taking the chance

All the Primordials had gathered at the same place at the same time, a rare sight for people of the city. Unfortunately, no one was there to witness it as the people were in hiding, frightened out of their wits after hearing a Dragon’s Roar.

The guards of the Primordials were forcefully entering everyone’s home, and checking the place inside out to ensure that no one was hiding. The entire city was being swept through, with the Auction House at the core.

Almost every person inside that auction house was feeling like they were at a loss, especially the Auction House manager who appeared to be going crazy at the loss that the Auction House had suffered because of this incident.

He was still on stage, frozen in place and praying that the thief was going to be found.

The only person that seemed somewhat glad was Estelia. She even had a smirk on her lips. She was about to lose the auction when the theft happened. If it hadn’t happened, then she would’ve legally lost the portal stone.

Now that the stone was robbed, she was sure that it was only a matter of time before it was going to be brought back. Until then, she had time to prepare so that she didn’t make the same ignorant mistake again.

Moreover, even if the stone wasn’t brought back and the thief used it, it was still better than falling in the hands of the Second Primordial Demon.

The only thing that left her slightly confused was the death of the Outsider that she had bought in the auction. Why did they kill him, when he was more or less useless already.

Every information that could’ve been extracted from him, was always extracted by the Seventh Primordial. So why was there a need to kill him? Just what were they worried about?

"What do you think?" she asked Eren, who was the one that was behaving the strangest when that person was put in auction. "What could be the reason behind his death?"

The clone that was left behind by Eren, didn’t answer her. He simply shrugged his shoulders in ignorance, as if he didn’t know a reason either.

"I guess we will never know," he said, after a brief period of silence. "Only the person who killed him might have the answer to that question."

He gazed at the badly destroyed corpse on the stage. A large part of the threat was removed. The only thing that was still worrying him, were the whereabouts of his main body, that was left with the thief.

If his main body was dead, then the clone was also going to be destroyed. The clone simply wished that the main body didn’t do anything foolish, but it knew itself really well and understood that it was the most likely case.

"Looks like we really pissed them off," a man was walking through a narrow tunnel, occasionally hearing the ground itself vibrate.

"Of course you did. You’re lucky that you weren’t caught by them. It would’ve been very painful for you." A voice came from his watch.

"Come on. Don’t scare me. My heart is already beating so fast. They were freed much earlier than I thought. If it was a few seconds late, I would’ve been turned into minced meat."

"Have you reached the meeting point?" he asked.

"Almost there. Jae has already finished the preparation. So the moment you reach us, we can activate the stone. The moment they find this place, we will be long gone." The voice came again, reminding him to hurry.

Eren had been hiding in the shadows, hearing everything. Just as he thought, these people had planned everything, including the fact that they couldn’t get far away after stealing the portal stone. They even expected the city to be sealed.

They had already made preparations, creating a tunnel system under the city without getting detected by others. The tunnels were also deep to the point that they made it almost impossible to find them through just divine sense alone.

If he was looking for them, even he would’ve had a hard time finding them. It was also to their benefit that this was the Royal City, and the Primordials couldn’t simply destroy it.

It gave them a lot of time to put the last part of their plan in motion, until the entrance to the tunnel was discovered.

Eren had two questions in his mind. Should he wait until the man reached the others? Or should he come out right now to take the portal stone? If he waited, and the other side was stronger than he thought, it might end up as a troublesome situation for him.

If he started fighting right now, then it was just as problematic. The man wasn’t weak. If he couldn’t be killed in a single strike, then the resulting battle vibrations might alert the Primordials.

’Better now then never.’ Even if there was a risk, he knew that he had to make a choice. And the choice he made was to take a risk.

He took a deep breath, as he created a shadow dagger while being hidden in the man’s shadow.

"Hmm?" The man slowly came to a stop, feeling a trace of killing intent that was aimed at him.

He reached fast, and jumped away, only being followed by his shadow. But when he looked back, he couldn’t see anyone here.

Suddenly, the killing intent became even stronger, and he felt like a grim reaper’s scythe was against his neck.

"Who are you?" he asked, even as a shadow knife came straight for his neck. He didn’t try to dodge the attack this time. He only raised his wrist a little, activating some mechanism that cast a thin layer of barrier around his entire body.

The knife struck the back of his neck, but it failed to pass through the barriers, which were thin yet powerful.

"I must be getting old, letting someone follow me so far, without noticing." The man sighed, feeling the barrier around his body flicker as it sent the man that had attacked him, flying back.
