188 Cain Laurifer’s background

“YOU!”

When Samir heard Jonathan’s shout to Cinthy, his eyes grew cold, but he did not dare to do anything with Josef next to him.

Jonathan noticed Samir’s eyes, and he immediately shut up and lowered his head, but that did not diminish the loath and rage he felt in his heart.

He still remembered how Cinthy acted with him in high school and was sure the woman would follow his every command once they reached Hellblazer University, but things did not go according to his wishes.

The moment Cinthy saw that Jonathan would be nothing more than an average student among the Grass Class, she moved on. Cinthy used her charms to cling to someone else, and that person was no other than the strongest member of the Grass Class.

Due to Samir’s relationship with Cinthy, he used his power on the Grass Class to target Jonathan, making the life of this one a living hell.

After all that, it was no wonder that Jonathan hated Cinthy so much, but he could do nothing about it. Not only was the woman under Samir’s protection, but unlike his, her cultivation had advanced, and she was already a Level 3 Essence Wave Warrior.

Cinthy did not take her eyes away from Jonathan, and there was nothing but disdain in them. She looked at Jonathan the same way she looked at Cain when they were back in high school.

Josef saw how Jonathan and Cinthy acted around each other, and since he found the woman in Samir’s residence, he could deduce the relationship between the trio. However, nothing of that mattered to him. If it weren’t for this assignment, he would not even bother to speak with people of the Grass Class.

.....

“Samir, go back to your post. As for you two, follow me to the center of command.”

Josef did not say anything else before turning around and walking to the student encampment’s center of command. The trio had no right to ask questions and could only follow his order without hesitation.

Other than physical training and cultivation, all the students in the Grass Class were indoctrinated into following the Hellblazer Family’s orders, so it was no wonder that Samir, Jonathan, and Cinthy did what Josef told them.

It did not take long for Josef, Jonathan, and Cinthy to reach the center of command.

The moment Jonathan and Cinthy stepped inside, they immediately grew nervous as they saw more than thirty geniuses, all with powerful auras much stronger than theirs.

“Lord Dominic, I brought the duo you requested. They are Jonathan Carvery and Cinthy Orland from the Hellblazer Academy’s Grass Class.”

Dominic had not even glanced at the duo when they entered the building, but his eyes grew sharp and focused on them after hearing that.

“I see. Thanks for your help.”

Josef only nodded before walking toward Amos and standing behind this one in complete silence.

Cinthy and Jonathan grew increasingly nervous as they saw these people focusing on them. They knew enough to understand that everyone here had a powerful background and could get rid of them with a simple command.

“You two, come closer.”

The duo did not dare to disobey Dominic’s words and approached him.

“Do you know why I sent someone to bring you here?”

Jonathan was so nervous he could not speak, much less figure out what was happening, but Cinthy was different. The woman took a deep breath before answering.

“It is due to our relationship with Cain Laurifer.”

Dominic’s eyes narrowed as he saw the confidence in Cinthy’s voice and smiled before nodding.

“That is right. It is exactly because of that.”

Cinthy showed a lovely smile as she heard Dominic’s response. Although the young man did not praise her, she took those words as such.

Jonatha saw that, and the rage in his heart only grew stronger.

‘This slut!’ There was nothing he would have wanted to do now more than to push Cinthy to the ground, but he did not even dare to look up, much less do something like that with so many powerful people around him.

Dominic saw how they reacted but cared very little about their feelings.

“You two will tell me all you know about Cain Lurifer’s past and your relationship with him. By the way, I am aware of a lot of the information you are about to give me, so I advise you not to hide or lie about anything to me.”

Dominic’s voice grew cold at the last part, making it clear to Cinthy and Jonathan that telling the truth was their only path.

Complicated expressions appeared in the duo when they heard Dominic’s command. If they told the truth about their relationship with Cain, then everybody here would know that they paid for his kindness and friendship with nothing but cruelty and betrayal.

However, Jonathan and Cinthy did not dare lie, so they told everything they knew about Cain and their relationship.

When the people in the room heard how Jonathan and Cinthy began to bully Cain when they gained power, disdain appeared on their faces.

Even if the students did not like Cain, that did not mean they would despise any less those that betrayed their friends.

The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N0v3l.B1n.

Dominic did not show anything and continued hearing everything with a calm expression and nodded from time to time until the duo finished with their report.

“I see. So Cain Laurifer endured all that and managed to keep his head high all this time. No wonder his willpower is so immense. It will be tough to handle a man like that.”

“How can that be right? Can you just use your background to take care of him!”

Jonathan had just uttered those words when he realized where he was and immediately shut his mouth. He was terrified of everybody here but could not endure it when he heard how Dominic praised Cain.

Even now, Jonathan could not accept that Cain had grown so much while he was nothing but a shadow of his previous self.

Dominic’s calm smile grew cold as he heard how Jonathan dared to utter what seemed to be a disagreement with his opinion. If it weren’t for Jonathan’s connection to Cain, he would have never allowed this one in his presence.

However, Dominic also noticed that many people looked in his direction after Jonathan’s words. Although killing someone was against the laws and codes of the empire, it was not as if they had not done it before.

Of course, killing a Vice-Captain like Cain would not be easy, and if there were any evidence left, it would generate all sorts of problems. Yet, it could be done if they were smart about it, and this was the perfect chance since they were in a place full of powerful enemies.

Dominic glanced at Amos, and this one nodded. There was information that the member of the Hellblazer Family had only shared with Dominic, but it seemed it was time for the others to know it as well.

“Cain Laurifer might have been an orphan a year ago, but now he is the Young Lord of the Valentine Family. Regarding background, Cain’s is as strong as mine, maybe even stronger!”

Utter silence appeared in the faces of everybody present, and the news shocked Cinthy and Jonathan more than anybody. The friend they threw away because they believed it was too weak to be alongside them now had a background they could not even imagine.
