The Mysterious Elder

...

"Spare... Spare me. Wu, wu, wu..."

In the empty and dilapidated factory, the young girl knelt on the ground and begged the black-robed man in front of her.

She was no longer in human form. Her body was covered in blood and soil, just like a dirty puppy in the rain.

However, the black-robed man did not have the slightest bit of compassion. Instead, he looked at her with a mocking expression.

"Spare you? If I spare you, who will spare my subordinates who were killed by the humans?

"If it weren't for you, the humans wouldn't have discovered my subordinates. They were all dead. You should have been buried with them."

"Sob, sob, sob... It wasn't me who said it. It had nothing to do with me. I was knocked unconscious and had no idea that they were the accomplices of a tiger demon. I didn't report it either."

"You don't need to say these nice words to fool me. Your only use now is to please me."
