Luring the Life Grandmaster

"What did you say?!" 

The Life Grandmaster Gatlin's fossil-like face was filled with fury and instigation as he looked at the kneeling demon with thick, killing intent.

This demon was the same protector who followed Noa an hour ago when she suddenly vanished into thin air. 

Gatlin's reaction was only natural after he heard the ridiculous explanation of the event that transpired in the Life Wine Pavilion. He knew the capability of this demon, so he was even more aghast when he thought about how his cherished disciple has vanished without a trace. 

The demon replied with shame, "I've failed my duty as young miss protector. I'm ready to receive any punishment. But I think there's some kind of conspiracy going on against our association, and we need to be careful." 

Gatlin inhales to calm himself down. He completely agreed with his servant about the conspiracy, especially after the mysterious assassinations.
