Chapter 377 - 178: Starless Sky

Lemondaff finished speaking.

On the second-floor gallery, numerous Wizards lowered their heads and respectfully parted to either side, clearing a path.

A beautiful woman in a black, off-the-shoulder dress approached. Leaning slightly, she rested against the railing as her long, pale-golden hair cascaded down, concealing her delicate collarbones and the hint of her cleavage. Her eyes were an aquamarine blue, as captivating as gemstones. Her gaze traveled past Lemondaff and fixed directly onto Sean, after which her lips curled into a seductive smile.

"I’ve been waiting a long time for you, little man."

"Bofunova??"

Sopea’s expression darkened.

He had seen this woman years ago, back when the great families laid siege to the Long Night Union. At the time, his Tier was too low for him to take part in the battles between High-tier Wizards, but he had never forgotten Bofunova’s face.

She was a very beautiful woman, her looks second to none. Her sultry charm, in particular, was fatally captivating to men.

But at the same time, she was also a very dangerous woman.

More dangerous than all the Wizards present combined.

This danger was not just apparent in her Magic Power, but even more so in her methods.

Sopea never imagined they would run into Bofunova here.

Looking around now, he saw the black-robed Wizards were like Hunters surrounding their prey, every one of them flashing a malicious grin.

Yisha finally realized what was happening too.

Just last night, they had speculated there might be a mole in the crowd who had notified the Kovloki Family.

But now...

’This wasn’t a case of having a mole.’

’The entire fucking group *was* the mole!’

And the biggest mole of all was Lemondaff himself, the one who had gathered all these Wizards!

"You treacherous bastard!" Yisha glared at Lemondaff. "And you call yourself the Chairman of a Wizard Union! How can you do this? Can you even face your own brothers?"

"No, no, no, miss. I think you’ve misunderstood something." Lemondaff smiled, raising a hand and sweeping his gaze over the surrounding Wizards. "As you can see, this is the outcome we all wanted."

"Besides, this isn’t a betrayal."

Lemondaff said, "Because..."

"From the very beginning, we’ve belonged to Miss Bofunova."

As he spoke, the smile on his face grew even brighter. "So, what do you think? Wasn’t my acting superb?"

Whether it was his initial feigned arrogance or his instant cowering when facing Elise, it was all just an act he’d put on. His goal was to probe Sean and the others, to see if these outsiders were worth Miss Bofunova going to such great lengths.

Genduo and Konina stared at him in disbelief.

"Chairman, you..."

"When did our White Bear Organization start working for Bofunova?"

"We always have."

Bofunova, on the floor above, seemed to be in a very good mood. She smiled and answered for Lemondaff, "It’s just that you haven’t been in Sonaros State long enough to know how things work around here."

"You didn’t naively believe that any Wizard Organization could actually hide from the eyes of the Kovloki Family, did you?"

"Nothing happens in this land without my Kovloki Family knowing about it."

"I can tell you with full confidence that even if you had gone to another city and sought to cooperate with a different Wizard Organization, the result would have been exactly the same as today."

"From the moment you set foot in Sonaros State, your every move has been under my control."

Bofunova’s eyes curved into crescents as she spoke, her gaze falling on the silent Sean. "Little man, did I give you a nice surprise?"

Sean did not reply.

Bofunova then looked at Konina and Genduo and chuckled. "As for you two, there’s no crime in not knowing."

"I can give you a chance."

"Right now, bring your old friend Mr. Sean to me. From now on, you will be the Kovloki Family’s most trusted partners, and you will never have to worry about your livelihoods again."

"In your dreams!"

Genduo shouted in a rage.

"Lemondaff!"

"And to think I’ve respected you all this time, working my heart out for the White Bear Organization! I never thought you were so damn crooked!"

"And you lot!"

Genduo spotted many familiar faces among the surrounding Wizards and started cursing. "A bunch of sons-of-bitching traitors! Have you forgotten who destroyed Freedom Manor? Who destroyed the comfortable, stable lives you were supposed to have??"

"If your dead parents knew you’d sided with the enemy, they’d be so angry they’d come back from the dead just to die of rage all over again!"

"Fuck you all! Can you live with yourselves?!"

Genduo wasn’t even this furious with Bofunova; she was an enemy, so it was only natural for her to use dirty tricks. What enraged him was Lemondaff and the Wizards from the White Bear Organization, the people he had spent every day with for the past two months. He had treated them as friends, always rushing to take on the dirty, exhausting work just to build a good relationship with them. And this is how they repaid him?

They hadn’t just stabbed him in the back; they had betrayed all wizards!

Genduo was so angry his eyes were bloodshot and his lips were trembling.

Konina was also shocked and furious. She remembered seeing Hobbs and Midi earlier and misunderstanding, thinking Sean meant to harm her and Genduo. But now, it was they who had endangered Sean. She never would have dreamed that the White Bear Organization, the group she trusted most, had secretly sided with the enemy long ago.

"Sean, take your friends and go!"

Konina took a large step, placing herself in front of Sean, looking as if she were ready to take on everyone by herself.

She and Genduo were the ones who had led Sean into this trap, and Sean had saved both their lives before. Plus, she had been lusting after his body for a long time... No matter how she looked at it, she would absolutely not let Sean die before she did!
