Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 193

”I see.” Suddenly the smile on the manʼs face changed. Before the mutant fire ant queen could react, she found a sword stabbing her heart.

Scarlet widened her eyes in disbelief and in utter shock. She never thought Jay would betray her. Cough!!!!

Scarlet coughed out. She looked at Jay in a mix of regret and sadness. Why did the very person whom Scarlet trusted had betrayed her?

”Why?”

Red blood came out of her chest and fell to her thighs and then to the ground. Each second Scarlet was losing her health. She was only alive this long because as a Mid-5th-order cultivator her health stat was very high. At the moment of her death, she wanted to know why she was betrayed by the very person whom she trusted. She wanted to know why she was betrayed by the organization.

Jay smiled and then gently stroked Scarletʼs right cheek. Seeing him look at her like this only added more pain and regret to her heart.

”The organization always had plans of betraying you. You were nothing but a cover for us. Because of you, we were able to complete the first phase of the plan.”

”To be honest, Scarlet I always hated the fact that you were a Mutant fire ant. I know that you have feelings for me. And I would have loved you back but the thought of loving a mutant fire ant who has millions of children doesnʼt really go suit my taste.” The more Scarlet listened the more tears fell from her eyes. Each of Jayʼs words was stabbing her heart.

This man once had held her in his arms and had said that he loved her regardless of her race. Scarlet still remembers the day when Jay had said those words to her. These words had made her heart warm. That day was one of the happiest days of her entire life.

”We never thought that the husband of the goddess of alchemy would come here. We were not expecting him to have this frightening power. To think he managed to destroy over ten million of your children with just a single attack is really frightening.” Adityaʼs appearance forced the organization to change its entire plan.

”I never did anything to betray the organization. I have always completed all the orders that I was given. So why?”

Jay once again smiled while gently patting her head. ”The only reason why we approached you is because of your race. You and your children were always meant to be cannon fodders for The League of the Black Tomb.”

”Letʼs just say even if you had won the war against the Ethereal Empire, after a short period, you would have run out of food once again. At that time you would have no choice but to attack other Empires to secure food. The organization already had invested billions of gold coins in you and your children. Do you even realize just how absurd this amount this? This cannot go on any longer. Now that you and your children have done their part, you have no use to us.”

Scarlet showed a bitter smile. From the beginning, she was the puppet.

”Another reason why I personally came to kill you is that you know too much about The League of the Black Tomb. I am sure you would have tried to leak this information to the Ethereal Empire in anger for being betrayed by The League of the Black Tomb.”

”I see.” If Scarlet had the strength, she would have killed Jay with her. If she is going to die, then she might as well take Jay with her.

Ignoring Scarletʼs smile which was filled with bitterness and sadness, Jay continued. ”The death of old man Ashley was a big wave of shock to us. I never imagined the old man would be killed by someone who isnʼt even a 5th-order cultivator. He was just like a mentor to me. He had thought me how to wield a spear. The fact that I couldnʼt save my master makes my blood boil in anger.” Jay tightly clenched his fists in anger. If the organization had not stopped him, Jay would have gone on to kill Aditya.

After the battle with Ashley, Aditya was at his weakest. Jay could have easily killed them at that time. But The League of the Black Tomb had different plans. Jay had no choice but to hold himself back. If he does not obey their leaderʼs order, just thinking of the hellish torture that is going to befall him made him shudder in fear.

”Itʼs sad that my teacher never got to fulfill his wish. His wish was left unfilled. As his student, I will make sure to walk down my teacherʼs path and complete what he and the organization have started.” Jay then turned his focus on Scarlet whose face now had become pale. Scarlet was breathing heavily. In a few more seconds she would die.
