Chapter 181 Escalating

*Bang*

"Why the hell did you go to City A Castiel, I told you Colin didn't do it!!" Synthia shouted angrily and punched the table. The four of them were in the core room, and both Mr. Ziek and Castiel have just reported that they found nothing which was the same for Synthia as well. As soon as she heard about what happened in City A, she became furious.

"Because, I'm starting to think that you're judgement is clouded. You don't even seem to entertain the possibility that this Demon would kill one of us, you are too close to that demon. We have scoured the entire forest and the mansion, yet we have found nothing, the only other lead we have is that Demon and it's like you won't even entertain the possibility." Castiel shouted back angrily

"We have known each other for decades now, you should atleast know when to trust me by now." Synthia said a bit more softly than before.

"It's because I've known you for that long why I'm questioning your judgement. Usually, you would consider all possibilities, now it's like you're indeniel about the possibility that your demon friend might be responsible for the disappearance." Castiel said and Synthia looked at him in surprise before lowering her head, not sure what to say. Castiel stomped out of the room angrily while the others just looked at his fleeting back.

"I'm starting to think he's right, there is no evidence that Darren has entered the forest and the only trail we have ends at City A. From now on, I am considering that Demon a threat." Mr. Ziek said and left the room as well.

"Synthia, I think we should keep an eye on the saints. Something fishy is going on here." Sera said and closed her eyes in a meditative posture as she started cultivating once more. Synthia simply nodded her head, as for the first time, a doubt appeared in her mind.

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

'Good, now we just need to escalate the situation a bit more.' Kyle thought as he listened in on the conversation from his room. Due to the core room being two floors from his, he was only able to hear the shouts, but that was more than enough to get a good picture of the situation.

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

Over the next few days, they continued searching the forest with little hope and just as they suspected, they found nothing. The followers were also getting more and more agitated by the second, blaming Colin for the disappearance and they started pushing the Angels to kill Colin. Synthia started to become more doubtful by the day and Castiel was getting more and more frustrated by the day. Meanwhile, Collin was secretly searching for the saint as well, but just like the others he found nothing and he was starting to wonder what the hell was going.

"Lord Castiel, may I have a word?" Kyle said as he and nine other saints walked towards Castiel, these were the saints that have been assisting in the search. They were currently at the gate of the mansion.

"What do you want?" Castiel asked coldly

"My lord, I'm sure that it is obvious to you as it is us who killed Darren. We need to exact vengeance for our fellow saint and to restore your honour my lord, we cannot let such an offense slide." Kyle said and Castiel looked at him with cold eyes.

"You are right, let's end this farce once and for all." Castiel said and a large gust of wind lifted them into the air, carrying them towards City A. From the side of the mansion, Kirt saw and heard the entire thing.

'Kyle you bastard, I can't believe you would put someone else in danger for your own personal greed.' Kirt thought while gritting his teeth. His friend, former friend really, started an argument after he saved him from Colin after the battle with the imps. He wanted to take revenge on Colin for the disrespect he has shown him, but Kirt refused and their friendship ended right there. Kirt knew his friend had a huge ego even before the apocalypse, with him being the son of one of the richest men in City A, but he didn't think his ego was this big.

[My lady, lord Castiel and a group of saints just left the mansion and are heading towards City A. They are going there for revenge.] Kirt said

[Thanks for the report, I'll get the other two and go after them. I need you and your friends to stay here and keep the peace.] Sera said
