Chapter 240: Sylvia (4)

Chapter 240: Sylvia (4)

Sylvia pushed away Deculein, who was holding her shoulder. No, she couldn’t push him away. They struggled for a while.

“Let it go. Let me go. Let go.”

She was forced to ask him to let her go, and Deculein nodded. Free, Sylvia glared at him.

“If there is no paradise, then there must be no hell to suffer.”

Sylvia clenched her teeth.

“I am in hell now.”

Suddenly, she had a knife in her hand. She shook it to threaten him.

“I hate you for killing my mother. And I don’t want to live shamelessly hating you. I don’t even know what you’re hoping, doing this.”

Deculein said nothing. However, he wiped away the fat and flesh of the steak from the knife with Cleansing. It seemed he thought it was dirty.

“Are you kidding me-!”

Sylvia yelled. Her anger swelled up.

“Sylvia.”

Deculein called out her name. She only felt more annoyed.

“I don’t want anything from you.”

“Then why-“

He spoke in a low voice.

“I feel compassion for you.”

For a moment, Sylvia’s mouth fell open. The knife’s shaking stopped. Deculein let out a small sigh.

“Let’s end today’s conversation.”

He wiped his lips with a napkin, then took the knife from her and placed it next to his plate. Finally, he tidied up his messy outfit with Psychokinesis.

“Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I’ll come back until you’re ready to leave. The trip won’t be long.”

She watched his back as he left the restaurant.

…Deculein was poison. Sylvia, returning home to lay down, thought so. Deculein was poison. A stupid man that thought she would poison a steak. Deculein was poison…

Sylvia, thinking about it, suddenly sat up. She glanced around her room to the numerous books on her bookshelf. Deculein’s name adorned several of their spines. Of course, these were the magic theory books written by Deculein.

「Magic of Probability」

「The Revolution of Formulas」
