“Ugh…The Dark Lord was stunned. With his eyes wide open, he looked at the knife in his chest, then up at the smirking Azalea. His pale face was a mix of shock, disbelief, and confusion. It happened so suddenly that he still hadn’t registered that he had been stabbed.
“W-why?” The Dark Lord asked in disbelief. He never expected his most beloved disciple to kill him. “Your skills have greatly plummeted since you’re seriously injured, rendering you defenseless.
Today is the best day to kill you.” Azalea smiled. “By the way, I applied some Tranqurin on my blade. You’re just like a little lamb waiting to be sacrificed now.”
“I’ve treated you well. Why would you betray me? Just when have I ever treated you badly?” The
Dark Lord trembled, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.
“You’ve never treated me badly. In a way, you’ve been quite kind to me. However, you still have to die,” Azalea said plainly.
“Why why? Why!” The Dark Lord’s emotions surged as he grabbed Azalea’s hand, and his eyes turned red as he roared, “I’ve treated you like my daughter since you were young. The other disciples have yet to receive such an honor. Why would you do this?”
Azalea slapped his hand away, her expression growing colder by the second. “You want to know why? Fine, I’ll tell you. It’s because you killed my parents!” The Dark Lord froze at her words, his eyes betraying his shock.
“Why are you silent now?” Azalea scoffed. “15 years ago, on New Year’s Eve, you led a group of men
in the middle of the night, broke into my house, and slaughtered my entire family. My father was
killed at your hands, while my mother was violated to death. I watched as you, beasts, massacred
the people close to me! I could never forget, nor will I ever forget, those horrifying scenes!
“I endured 15 years of humiliation, all to find an opportunity to kill you! However, you were too
strong, and you got suspicious easily. I never felt confident enough to make a move. That was why I tried my best to please you in every way, lowering your guard slowly. Finally, I succeeded. It’s been 15 years! I’ve waited exactly 15 years for this opportunity!” By the end of it, Azalea was
seething.
Nobody knew how she endured those 15 years. She hid right beside her enemy, putting on a fake smile and acting thoughtful throughout the day. However, she had endless nightmares at night, never getting a peaceful night’s sleep. Every night, to prevent herself from sleeping talking, and revealing her identity, she sealed off her acupoints, rendering herself mute.
For 15 years, she was extremely cautious and walked on thin ice, for she knew that once her cover was blown, it would not only put an end to her plans for revenge but also put her in a situation.
worse than death. Fortunately, after 15 years of waiting, determination, and hard work, she finally had a chance at revenge.
“H-how did you find out? Who told you?” The Dark Lord’s lips trembled. It was true that he slaughtered the Larsons back then. However, when he stormed into the final room and saw the little girl asleep on the bed, his heart was stirred with compassion. The little girl reminded him of his late daughter. Since he hadn’t exposed his identity, he made a bold decision. He killed all of, taking her under his wing. He never expected mself would lead to such a calamity.
ssed every one of your killings with my own eyes!
