Ayanokouji Kiyotaka 191

Title: Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, You are Far More Terrifying than the Witch

“I’ve recorded everything you just did and asked Otto to send it back. If I don’t return within an hour, Otto will publish the video.”

Ayanokouji deliberately paused.

“If Annerose and Frederica knew what you had done, I’m afraid they would be heartbroken. After all, the housekeeper they trust the most turned out to be a cruel killer.”

Clind remembered that the other party had a magical device from another world called a ‘mobile phone’, which could record scenes over a period of time.

If Ayanokouji had just been secretly observing from the side and recording it with his mobile phone...

But this level alone wasn’t enough to threaten Clind. As he was ready to take action, his determination became very strong.

“This is my duty, my agreement. I must stop the Witch of Greed no matter what. It cannot be violated.” Clint responded with a very serious expression, “Even if I have to bear so many misunderstandings, as long as I can complete my mission, that’s enough.”

“Really?” Ayanokouji observed him carefully, and the other party’s eyes looked very firm.

‘It would be great if your heart was really as strong as your expression.’ Ayanokouji thought to himself, “But your weakness is too obvious, Clind.”

“Then, even if they both die, you don’t care at all?” Ayanokouji said again.

“What?” In an instant, a very clear expression of fear appeared on Clind’s face, which made Ayanokouji even more convinced that he had understood this man’s weakness.

Guiding them here was indeed the right choice.

“What did you do?!”

Seeing that Ayanokouji didn’t answer him immediately, Clind became more and more panicked and asked quickly.

“I added some other things to today’s food.” Ayanokouji replied, “If the poison isn’t detoxified within a few hours, they might die soon.”

“Aren’t they your allies? That doesn’t make sense!” Clind was already a little hoarse. He knew the other party might do something like that.

“They will have no meaning or value to me. Their life and death have nothing to do with me.” Ayanokouji still used a calm expression. “Just in case, I also hired assassins to carry out the assassination mission. Only I can give them instructions to stop the mission.”

“You can actually say words like that! It’s creepy!” Clind’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

“Is it creepy? It doesn’t matter what you call me, but don’t forget, if they are killed, you will also get a share.” Ayanokouji said, “The direct cause of all this is you.”

He deliberately used such words to stimulate Clind’s heart.

Emotions can be a person’s weakness, and even Clind is no exception.

His obsession with the Witch of Greed revealed his shortcomings, and his relationship with Annerose and Frederica also became Clind’s weakness.

Through observation for several days, Ayanokouji had been able to determine that Frederica and Annerose were very important existences to Clind.

For Ayanokouji, they were the right candidates to be his hostages.

“Is all this just the Witch of Greed’s idea?” Clind said cruelly.

“No, Echidna is unaware of all this.” Ayanokouji raised the black crystal pendant on his chest, “According to the contents of the contract, only I can decide the communication, from beginning to end, she is not involved in my plan, I just made sure her existence will not be revealed.”

After he finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a moment and continued: “Next, your target is the Witch of Greed. Now that I have signed a contract with her, she cannot stay away from me. If you kill me, then the oath between me and Echidna will be invalid.”

Clind pursed his lips, what he said was not wrong.

“Then you’re using Return by Death?” Clind continued to ask.

“Sorry, I have no intention of using this ability.” Ayanokouji shook his head.

“What?” Clind was slightly surprised. He originally thought that the reason why the other party was able to force him into a desperate situation was because the Witch of Greed was watching him, or because the other party used Return by Death and obtained a lot of information.

In the end, it was Ayanokouji himself who created all this.

Although the other party might have tricked him, at this moment, it was not necessary at all.

Although he had seen the illusion and knew Ayanokouji’s methods, Clind realized that he still underestimated the man in front of him.

The means and strength accumulated over four hundred years were completely defeated by this person who was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

All this was a script created by Ayanokouji.

On the first day of Clind’s arrival, Ayanokouji noticed the other party’s obsession with Echidna from his words and actions, and also guessed that the other party would definitely target her, who might have signed a contract, so he deliberately created an opportunity for the other party to be alone with him.

For Clind, this was an opportunity to attack without hesitation, and also an opportunity to find Echidna’s whereabouts. He definitely couldn’t miss it, so he definitely agreed.

During the two days of preparation, Ayanokouji also secretly contacted some assassins – of course, they were not from the same assassination organization as Elsa.

This was done to reveal Clind’s strength.

At the same time, this also gave Clind the perfect opportunity to take action. As long as the other party took action, then this time could be ended.

Ayanokouji would certainly not let himself take too many risks, so he gave Elsa the task of using the magical weapon created by Echidna to disguise her identity, and planned the dialogue between the two parties in advance, Elsa’s dialogue was arranged in advance, so Clind couldn’t see her shortcomings.

Such actions were very dangerous, but for Elsa, it was like a gift given.

The reason why Ayanokouji chose Elsa was precisely because she had strong regeneration abilities. Not only that, he also concluded that her Return by Death ability had been revealed, and Clind would never kill her directly, Elsa should be able to handle such a scene.

As for Ayanokouji himself, he and Otto secretly recorded everything. As he said, as long as he didn’t return in time, Otto would publish the video on his mobile phone.

Annerose, Frederica, and the others would also die from poisoning. This is why Ayanokouji didn’t allow Clind to participate in cooking before.

Maybe such actions are shameless and despicable in the eyes of others, but he only sees the results.

To achieve the goal, no matter what means are used.

At this moment, Clind looked at him with great nervousness. Only now could he feel how terrifying the man in front of him was.

As if everything about him had been predicted. Every action he took was within the other party’s plan.

“How could you know this? I don’t understand.”

“Your angle of participation in this topic is too blatant.” Ayanokouji shook his head, “Your words are too directed. Even though you want to guide others towards the topic, your purpose is revealed without being noticed.”

“So it is. That was a mistake.” Clind was very surprised. He didn’t expect the other party to even notice these things.

He thought everything he did was perfect, but in Ayanokouji’s eyes, it turned out to be full of flaws.

“Then it’s my turn to ask you.” Ayanokouji said.

“What?”

“Clind, are you a member of the Witch Cult?” Ayanokouji already knew the answer in his heart, but it would be better to get final confirmation from the other party’s mouth.

“No.” Clind immediately gave a negative answer.

The scene where he directly fought with the Witch Cult could basically illustrate this.

“So, have you ever been the Warlock of Melancholy?” Ayanokouji continued to ask.

Judging from the other party’s habits and ability to speak, whether Clind was the Warlock of Melancholy or not, he had a very close relationship with him.

Clind obviously didn’t use magic or Divine Protection, but this power means there is a witch factor in his body.

Now the members of the Sin Archbishop have been identified, the only one missing is the Sin Archbishop of Pride.

But Ayanokouji was more inclined to believe that Clind’s witch factor was not Pride, but Melancholy. His ability to control pressure was almost exactly the same as the Warlock of Melancholy seen in the Dream Castle.

However, there are still some things that are unknown. If Clind was really the Warlock of Melancholy, Roswaal would be unlikely to be unaware of this.

Is it because of some unknown secret?

There is another possibility, that is, the person who was once defeated by Clind and Roswaal was the Warlock of Melancholy. After the Warlock of Melancholy died, the witch factor in his body chose to nest in Clind’s body.

Clind didn’t answer directly: “Sorry, as a witness to that dark history, I can’t promise.”

Ayanokouji could always hear the agreement and responsibility mentioned by the other party, but he didn’t know who the other party made this agreement with.

But this doesn’t matter.

“Forget it, since you won’t tell me, I don’t need to keep asking.” Ayanokouji said lightly. This information almost lost in history doesn’t have much meaning, find the answer to that question.

Clind’s strength and responsibility make him a very dangerous existence.

But at the same time, this also illustrates the formidable power Clind possesses and his exploitable value.

Clind’s combat strength must be at the level of the Sin Archbishop, even far superior to Julius and Wilhelm.

Most importantly, no one knows Clind’s true face, and he might be able to become a hidden trump card.

Moreover, Ayanokouji now has the control that can restrain him.

“Let’s make a deal.” Ayanokouji slowly walked towards Clind and looked directly into his eyes.

Clind pursed his lips, but didn’t hesitate: “It’s impossible for me to trade with a creature like you.”

“Then what if I say that the Witch of Greed Echidna is used as one of the bargaining chips in this transaction?” Ayanokouji said calmly.

“What do you mean?” Clind’s heart was full of doubts, but he knew very well that he was making a deal with a devil.

“From now on, be my subordinate, remain loyal.” Ayanokouji said.

Clind clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles almost made a sharp sound.

“And in return, I will protect Frederica and Annerose from harm.”

“So far...”

“In addition, I can help you control Echidna’s actions.” Ayanokouji deliberately stopped here.

“What?” Clind’s eyes widened, full of surprise.

“I signed a contract with Echidna, and she must obey my orders unconditionally, so she will not act rashly without my instructions.” Ayanokouji continued, “As long as you are willing to abide by my terms, I can control every action of Echidna. No matter what you are worried about, at least when I am around, the future you are worried about will not happen.”
