Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 498 Set-up P2

Chapter 498 Set-up P2

"My man, kill the b.i.t.c.h and be done with it. There's no point dragging this scene any more than it needs to. I'm short on time, you know."

A shadow dressed in completely black attire appeared on an upper branch of the tree not far away from the husband and wife duo. The shadow was wearing a jacket with a hood. It was also wearing a weird yet eye-catching mask.

Tuan opened his eyes wide in surprise when he saw that shadow.

"You… it was you who had thrown that array disk at me and ran away."

Tuan pointed his finger at the shadow and said aloud. The shadow nodded at him before speaking up.

"That's right. You should be thankful that I uncovered your cheating wife in front of you.

Now kill her off and let me do my job. I wasn't planning to intervene between the two, honest. But your reluctance to get rid of that b.i.t.c.h is getting on my nerves."

Tuan felt angry when he heard the shadow speak. He clenched his fists and spoke in a voice that told the shadow he was controlling himself from yelling out loudly in anger.

"Listen here, stranger. I don't know why you did what you did. However, I am not grateful to you at all. I…. Hahaha… you might call me a stupid f.u.c.k. But I would have preferred to remain unaware of the fact that I was being cucked.

Still, I appreciate your gesture. Now would you please f.u.c.k off from here so I can have my talk with my wife… f.u.c.k… this b.i.t.c.h."

Tuan said and looked at Tista again. The young woman wasn't paying attention to the conversation her husband had with the stranger. Her mind was occupied with thoughts of her survival.

Tista a.s.sumed that her last chance of saving herself from her eventual fate lay with the shadow. She looked at him and asked in a pleading voice.

"Kind sir… save… save me from my maniacal and abusing husband. He is trying to kill me for no reason. He simply wants to get rid of me so he can have my possessions.

Please save me. Please. My friend Veeral will reward you handsomely."

Tista kneeled in the shadow's direction and asked in a very convincing, damsel-in-distress voice. Her appeal would have convinced most rankers who didn't know about the whole matter. Sadly for her, this shadow was the same vile creature she had cursed a few moments ago under her breath.

"You mean this guy?"

The shadow threw something in the air. Tuan was about to react, thinking it might have been something harmful. But then he saw what the object was and froze in his tracks.

The object landed right in front of Tista. At first, she didn't understand what it was as her watery eyes clouded her vision. But then she wiped them off and saw the object clearly.

It was Veeral's decapitated head.

"Veeeraaal... No…."

Tista cried and looked at the decapitated head with fearful eyes. She started crawling away from the head as if it was about to bite him.

"Sigh! Tuan, I expected better from you. The first rule of the ambush. Don't leave any loose ends."

The shadow spoke with a bit of lament in its voice. Tuan looked at the Veeral's head keenly to confirm it was him. He took his time to confirm that it was indeed what it looked to be without any trickery. This realization made him worried about the shadow's capabilities.

It could take care of the Ace ranker in such a short time. Its speed was exceptional. Plus, it gave off an odd aura.

"Are you from the Duchy of Lehan?"

Tuan asked, wary of the shadow. The latter remained quiet for a while before responding.

"No. And I've already given you the chance to take care of your wife and be done with your revenge. If you can't make up your mind about killing your wife, don't hold me responsible for making that choice for you."

As the shadow spoke, it tucked its hands into his sleeves and rested its frame by its shoulder against the tree's trunk. It looked like it hadn't suffered anything in its battle against Veeral.

Tuan struggled in his head to come to a decision. But he ultimately couldn't kill the love of his life. He would have forgiven her if she had opted to walk out of their marriage. He would have forgiven her if making use of him was all she did. He would have also forgiven her if she had come clean to him even now. And admitted to her wrongdoings. But Tista was adamant about making it his mistake. He would never have peace of mind if he didn't take care of the mess at his hands right now.

But before Tuan could struggle mentally any more, a purple slash was released from the shadow, cutting everything in its path. Tuan was too distracted to react in time. And the fact that Tista had crawled away from him didn't help either.

Swoos.h.!.+

Tista didn't know what hit him. She died the same way her lover had. Her decapitated head fell behind her body without making much noise.

Tuan saw what had happened. He was dumbfounded as a result. He didn't know how to react at first.

Then he felt a feeling of relief wash over him. He didn't want to get joy from seeing his wife's dead visage. But for some reason, he couldn't help doing just that. And the fact that it was someone else who had killed him gave him another form of satisfaction.

"You… who are you? And what do you want?"

In response to Tuan's question, the shadow remained silent. At this point, the daylight was almost over. The shadow decides to answer Tuan's question after adjusting the pair of Shams.h.i.+rs in its hand.

"Does it matter? You want to kill me too for killing your wife right? The human psyche is strange, really. It can cause people to do injustice to the same person who has helped them in their time of need.

I don't have to say anything to you, or you to me. If we are meant to fight, either way, we might as well get on with the program."

The shadow said before gesturing to Tuan to approach it by opening its arms wide.

"Come. Let me see what the semi-finalist of the t.i.tus tournament, Tuan Aag, also known as the magnificent Flame Feathers, can really do.
