Chapter 162- Touched her

The moment Austin looked at the dead body, he knew that it was the doing of a demon, who wanted to frame Valerie.

Since he wanted to play along with the demon's plan and let Valerie get cornered, he thought of pretending to suspect her.

After all, to face Valerie, the Lord of Demonic monsters would most probably show up himself.

However, the moment he turned toward Valerie and saw those tears, he knew he couldn't keep up the act.

Later, when she was getting taken away, Austin knew that there was someone among the students keeping an eye on him and might try to obstruct him from chasing after Valerie, that's why he used his recently acquired skill [Mirage Sync] to create a clone of himself which did nothing but just to walk back and forth with a stressful look.

Leaving that behind, he dashed in the direction where Valerie was taken.
