Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 140: Devon Carren

Chapter 140: Devon Carren

The next day after Lensa’s defloration. Afternoon 3 PM.

“Where is that human brat, Ken Riverine?

Does he think he can do whatever he wants with our girls just because he has the backing of an earl?”

A loud voice boomed in the middle of the Lamb Arms Inn’s lobby. The patrons saw a huge crowd of elves creating a fuss at the receptionist’s desk.

“Sir, I can not allow you to barge into our inn without prior notice or reservation. If you want to meet with our guests, I can send someone to their rooms and arrange a meeting for you.”

Thankfully, the receptionist was also an elf man who seemed to be in his 40s. So he tactfully handled the crowd while sounding polite. But he didn’t have to walk on the thin line anymore. That was because a certain D-Ranker, who happened to be at the lobby, had come to talk to them after hearing a familiar name through the elves’ mouth.

“Excuse me. Name’s Marla. Why are you looking for Ken Riverine?”

Marla asked the guy who looked to be the leader of the elf crowd. The guy wanted to lash out at the one who asked the question. But his better judgement stopped him after his mana sense sensed something dangerous coming from the woman who stood in front of him with a leisurely att.i.tude.

Marla had purposely released a hint of her mana signature to make a silent warning to the E-Ranker guy. And that deterrence was enough for the guy to readjust his speech and stance before replying to her question.

“Ma’am, my name is Devon Carren. Forgive our rude behaviour in your presence.

We only wish to talk to the young man named Ken Riverine. It’s regarding the injustice my niece Lensa Carren faced because of her relations.h.i.+p with the guy.”

Marla came to realize that her apprentice must have gotten involved in a lovers’ dispute after listening to Devon’s explanation. She couldn’t interfere in this petty matter by using her ranking status. Especially when she had much larger fishes to fry.

Therefore Marla allowed Devon and a few of his mates to visit the inn rooms a.s.signed to her team. She gave them Ken’s room number. But the D-Ranker asked Devon to call forth Eren and Almera as well when they meet Ken. She trusted her a.s.sistant’s judgement in handling this matter.

**************

“Get the fu*ck out, Riverine brat. And receive your a.s.s-whooping for treating my niece like some cheap who*re.”

Ken heard a series of noisy bangs on his room’s door followed by an angry voice. He could barely open his eyes and his ability to hear things were also affected. So he heard the knocks and the guy’s voice in -2x reduced speed.

He had barely found his way to his room this morning from a place that was not very far from the Lamb Arms Inn. he didn’t know what he was doing there or how he got there. He couldn’t remember anything after his drinking spree with Eren.

But Ken couldn’t be bothered about all that. His head was spinning like crazy and his body felt like he was buried in the sand. That’s why he somehow made it back to his room before cras.h.i.+ng on the bed. The white knight just let his sleep fix his current condition.

But the sudden interruption by Devon’s knocks foiled his plans to sleep through his predicament. He had to get up against his will because he had also heard Almera’s stoic voice, asking him to make his appearance.

“What happened? And why are you guys so loud? Didn’t we have a day off today?”

Ken asked while holding his head in both of his hands, just to make him see better by ma.s.saging his forehead. But what he got in return was an even louder reply filled with unmasked anger:

“You wretched sod, do you even have a little shame? Or are you just another serial womanizer who needs some a.s.s-whooping?”

Thankfully, Ken had shaken his head a little to make him stop hearing things at slow speed before Devon’s statement, which was laced with threats. It took him a while to process what was said to him:

“I’m sorry, but do I know you? And why are you shouting so much?

Eren, Ace Almera, what is this about?”

Ken saw his team members and asked them for some explanation. He figured it would be better if he talked to them instead of this elf bunch.

“Um… Ken, what did you do to miss Lensa? Err… I mean what happened when you went on a date with her?”

Eren asked with concern and care that one couldn’t discredit as fake. The white knight seemed even more confused by Eren’s queries.

“I went on a date? I… I remember Lensa from our meeting at the market shop. But nothing took place after that. I have no idea what you guys are talking about.”

Ken hadn’t had the faintest of what any of the groups were asking. But his honesty was taken as an uncaring att.i.tude for his deeds by Devon and his friends

“This b.a.s.t.a.r.d, guys beat him. I don’t care anymore about anything. His foul mouth and att.i.tude need to be taught a lesson they won’t forget.”

“Hold up. Wha… What are you doing? Leave me…. Aaargh… Ace Almera, please help.”

Ken was soon grabbed by his collar by Devon after saying that. His hands were locked stretched by guys standing on either side. Devon was just about to initiate acquaintance between his mana imbued fist and Ken’s face when he heard a voice from behind.

“Please hold up, Ace Devon. May I know the details of what happened from both sides before you start serving your vigilante justice on the boy?

Almera spoke at the right time. But in Eren’s point of view, it was the worst timing ever. He clicked his tongue after he saw Devon’s fists getting stopped by the E-Ranker’s proposal.

Devon sighed after hearing Almera’s question. It was tough for him to describe the events that took place yesterday with his beloved niece. But he had to do it since another E-Ranker had asked who was an a.s.sistant to the D-Ranker he had met at the lobby.

“Alright! I’ll tell you what this vile creature did with my niece Lensa. But I’ll do what I came here to do soon afterwards no matter what you say.

Here’s what happened!”

Devon began narrating the events that he knew took place between Lensa and Ken.
