Trash of the Count's Family (401-600)

Chapter 552 - You should have watched your back (6)

Cale quietly observed the fear in Cotton's eyes.

'Why is she so scared that Gersey is chasing us?'

Eruhaben started to speak as Cale remained quiet.

"Will we need to capture Gersey?"

Cotton shook her head.

"That is not a good idea, sir."

She was speaking respectfully to the ancient Dragon.

"Based on Gersey's personality, he would have immediately contacted the White Star after suppressing my subordinates. He will only enter the underground passage after doing that. He does not make rash movements. He is the thorough type."

Eruhaben understood the meaning behind those words.

"You're saying that it is better to destroy this place before the White Star comes rather than handling Gersey?"
"Yes, sir, that's right."

Cotton took a map out of her pocket.

"In order to destroy the cave, it is best to destroy it from the innermost area."

She looked at the map as she started to walk to the inner area of the cave.

No, she was running.

"The third location is the most important place, so it is most effective to destroy that spot!"

Not getting all this dead mana was a pity, but it was not a facility that needed to be destroyed.

It was at that moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

They heard noises coming from the top of the stairs.

"...It must be Gersey's trusted subordinates! Hurry up!"

She became anxious and started to move even faster.

"Aaaaah!"

She suddenly felt as if her body was starting to float up.

Her two feet actually did leave the ground.

"What the hell?"

She looked toward Cale who was now next to her.

"We need to go quickly if we need to hurry. We'll be late if we ran."

There were whirlwinds at the tips of Cale's feet and her feet.

Bud and Eruhaben looked ready to quickly shoot forward as well.

Cotton looked down at her feet for a moment before nodding her head.

"Okay! I'll guide you!"

She started to move even faster.

Cale was up there next to her.

His eyes observed the numerous glass containers full of dead mana.

He could feel the numerous lives that were lost in order to create this much dead mana.

'That is why I need to completely destroy this facility.'

Cale made up his mind as he started to speak.

"Why are you in such a rush? You seem extremely scared."

Cotton stopped biting down on her lips.

"...I told you that the third location was the most important, right? I also said I have proof that is the case."
"Yes."

Boom. Boom. Boom.

They could still hear people rushing down behind them.

Who the hell were Gersey's trusted subordinates that they were making so much noise heading down?
