The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 384: Puppet

WARNING: GORE

Anna's heartbeat was literally so loud that she thought they would notice her standing outside of the door.

This time, she didn't hesitate to use a talisman to see what was going on inside the room. Since she saw the vision earlier, she didn't know that the older man named Thomas killed the other man earlier. His body was still warm on the floor. Blood can be seen around him.

"I could smell someone close. But I didn't know it was you. I presume you came here to kill me?"

Her father, who is very much alive, smirked. His huge frame towards over the man as he approached him. Then he circled around the older man and approached the bookshelves.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I killed him?"

"For a show?" Isaac snorted. His eyes were on the books.

"No."

"You knew I was coming, and you prepared a good show for me. I'd say… it was convincing. For an amateur, that is."

"You— "

"Thomas… Thomas… Thomas…"

Isaac turned around, an arrogant smirk appeared on his face. Now that Anna had a closer look, Isaac looked like Anna's older version. He was about six foot six, a giant compared to Anna's height. He had broad shoulders, short-cropped hair, and sharp eyes. Isaac looked intimidating, more intimidating than anyone Anna had even met in this world.

"You were expecting me. You knew that this day would come… no?" Isaac said.

"I didn't hurt your daughter."

"Please… let's not talk about Anna." Isaac was dressed in black. He had a few daggers on his leg. "I came here to talk to you."

The man glared at Isaac.

"Calm down Thomas. Be thankful I am not like you. Unlike you, I will not wipe out your pack and asked your own wife to spy on you."

"I didn't ask Aurora to spy on you!"

Aurora? So, this Thomas knew Anna's mother?

"Is that so?" Isaac smiled coldly. "And you think I would believe you? How astonishing. Stupid, but still astonishing."

"You— "

"After everything that you did, Thomas. I think you have no right to talk to me in any way."

"Isaac… I don't understand this hatred. I did not summon those demons! Why would I hurt my daughter?"

"Oh! You didn't."

"Then…"

"You told the King about me and in turn, he summoned those demons."

"You— "

"She told me everything."

"Aurora would not do that!"

Isaac shrugged. "Aurora betrayed me and our daughter. The daughter that she loved, cared for, and lived with for eighteen years. Did you really think she wouldn't betray you, too?"

"You— "

"Aurora told me about the talisman. She told me… everything."

"And so you killed her! You killed your own wife! You killed my daughter!"

Anna was speechless. Was this the reason Anna was too traumatized to even approached the packhouse? Anna couldn't spot any emotion in Isaac's eyes.

"Oh, I did." Isaac snorted, then he laughed, a burst of deep dark laughter that easily made Anna's body tremble in fear. "I removed her head from her body and cut off her limbs. Do you want to hear the rest?"

"You lunatic!"

"Lunatic?" Isaac pointed at his chest. "You are calling me a Lunatic? You, the same person who asked your own daughter to put a talisman inside a newborn!? You who removed a part of your daughter's brain so… she wouldn't be able to feel affection for anyone, including her own daughter? And you… are going to call me lunatic?"

Anna just stared at her father. Lily, on the other hand, was feeling different emotions as she stared at Anna's father. She couldn't help but envy Anna.

She didn't know why Isaac's words seemed to wake up something inside Lily. It was comical. After all, Lily couldn't remember anything. No family. No, father. No mother.

Yet, she had started to wonder if she had a father just like Isaac.

"Then… if you are going to kill me, just get on with it!"

"Kill you? Why would I give you what you wanted?"

"If you let me go now, I will tell the King that Aurora hid the talisman inside your daughter and — the king is going to do everything in his power to hunt her down! Do you think she would be able to survive that?"

"Oh… she would." Isaac nodded. Confidence laced his tone. "She's my daughter, Thomas. She would survive anything."

"You— "

"But you were right. If I leave you alone, you would tell everyone about Anna. Then they will come after her. So… I decided to cut off your tongue."

Before Thomas could say a word, Isaac was already standing next to him. In a quick motion, Isaac held Thomas's head and just swiftly cut off the man's tongue.

"Oh… and your finger's too. We don't want you to write.."

"Hmmm!"

"Hmmm!"

"Hmmm!"

"I don't understand what you are talking about Thomas, you should be more clear." Isaac calmly said. Then he started cutting off the man's fingers.

One by one.

He started with the pinky, then the ring finger, until he reached the thumb.

Then she stopped.

Isaac just watched as blood filled the room.

"You know what? Even If I cut your fingers, you can still use your arms to write, no?"

Thomas's eyes widened.

"Hmmm!"

"Hmmm!"

Sadly for him, he was in the presence of a husband who was just betrayed by his own wife. A husband who came back for revenge.

Lily, on the other hand, already stopped the connection. She had seen gruesome things, but… this is just different.

The look in that man's eyes was haunting. It was completely empty. It looked like he was trying to cut off some vegetables instead of a man's arms.

However, she didn't leave. She just stood outside of the door and thought about what she discovered.

So… Aurora Gentry… never loved Anna. She was just a puppet.

Isn't that sad?

Soon, the sound inside the room stopped. A deathly silence took over.

Anna bit her lower lip.

Suddenly, she missed Mo Li.
