My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 617: Fooled half the world

"Aren't we going in the wrong direction? The exit is that way," Eren said, watching the girl take the wrong route.

He thought the girls were about to leave the Auction House, as everything was over. But strangely enough, they had taken a completely different direction, which seemingly led to the stage instead.

"I want to check something. If you want to go back, you can leave," Estelia answered.

Eren already knew where she was going, since he had taken that route before. It was a route that led to the stage. He couldn't help but wonder what she wanted to check there.

He tried hard to remember if he had left anything there that might lead them to him. But he couldn't think of anything. As far as he remembered, his blood clone had destroyed itself after completing the mission assigned to it.

He followed her with a frown on his face, constantly thinking if he had made any mistake while killing Lenniel. His biggest worry was that Estelia might have a way to bring Lenniel back to life, even though he had completely destroyed Lenniel's body.

He didn't think that there was a possibility of that happening, but he still couldn't put his worries to rest until he confirmed it.

"Are we going to check the slave that you bought in auction? It was very expensive. I wish there was a way to bring it back to life. Then it wouldn't be such a big loss," Eren said, trying to test the waters.

"You don't have to worry about it. I never make a losing deal. I can bring him back to life," Estelia answered, as she glanced back at Eren at that exact moment.

"You can? That's a relief." Eren sighed in relief, placing a hand on his chest. There was nothing off about his expressions, even though deep down he was initially very shocked.

He didn't show his true thoughts on his face, especially when the girl was looking back at him, not knowing if she was being honest or if she was just testing him.

Estelia stopped paying attention to Eren, and turned back, continuing on her way. Although it was for a fleeting moment, a sense of disappointment flashed in her eyes as if she was expecting something more from Eren.

The three of them soon reached near the stage, where the Auction House Manager was still on his knees, looking blankly at the hole in the ceiling. The losses that the auction house suffered this time were too many. He knew that he shouldn't avoid responsibility.

Even if the portal stone was found, that wouldn't absolve him of his responsibility. The security of this place was his responsibility, but the thieves still managed to get near the stage and he didn't even know about it.

"I am finished..." He repeatedly mumbled. "When the owner finds out..."

His face had already grown pale as he thought about it. He knew that he couldn't afford to take responsibility. He stood up and blankly walked away, coming to a hard decision. Before he was punished by the owner of the auction house, he was going to put an end to himself on his own.

He walked away from the stage, going past Eren, not knowing that the young man also had a hand in his ruins. Eren didn't know the man's thoughts either.

He simply focused on the cage, which was filled with what seemed like remnants of flesh that once upon a time belonged to Lenniel, but were now beyond recognition.

Estelia stopped before the cage, looking at a sight that could make any normal human vomit. Eren silently stood in the back, occasionally frowning. He was constantly worried about Lenniel. If there was really a method for him to come back to life, then it was bad.

"The person didn't just kill him, but completely destroyed him. It looks less like a punishment, and more as if the killer was worried that he might be brought back to life," Jenia thought out loud, looking at the gruesome scene.

"It might be because he knew some kind of secret that the person didn't want to be discovered? Could it be about the whereabouts of their world?" she asked.

Estelia shook her hand at the assumption.

"That can't be it. His memories about his world have already been explored by his first owner. There is no point in killing him after he reached the auction house. It's more as if the person was worried about something beyond just the memories of this person."

"The killer definitely didn't want us to know something. But it wasn't about their world, or anything related to it. It was something else... Something that had nothing to do with their world." Her frown deepened as she looked back at Eren. "What do you think?"

"Won't we know if we bring him back to life? It's only a matter of time before we get our answers." Eren innocently smiled, almost completely certain now that the girls couldn't bring him back to life.

They were just trying to trick him into giving himself away with his reaction.

'Little girl, I've fooled the entire world where I came from. I think you're a few decades too young to trick me.' He thought. He didn't know why Estelia was doubting him particularly, but he acted as nonchalant as ever.

"I suppose we will find out soon enough. Weren't there more outsiders that came with him, who were caught alive. I will send someone to deliver a message to the Seventh Primordial. I don't care how long it takes. I will find out what it was about."

She looked at Eren, before walking off the stage, leaving the cage behind. Eren watched her walk away, his expressions being completely unreadable.

He looked back at the cage, tapping it one last time, bidding farewell to the Left Guardian of the Necromancer Tower one last time. With this, he had finished all leadership of the Necromancer Tower.

There were a few more remnants that were caught by the Seventh Primordial, but he didn't quite worry about them. If he had dealt with this mess, then dealing with that mess was much easier in his eyes. For now, he had survived another day.

He followed the girls out of the auction house.
