After killing the Chief, Leon stood up from the chair and picked up the bag of silver coins lying on the table.
“I’ll be taking this…” he muttered, slipping it into his inventory. With the blood-covered knife still in his hand, he walked out of the office.
As soon as Leon stepped outside, he spotted Olga sitting on the floor, staring in horror at the pool of blood flowing from Jack’s corpse.
“Y-You killed my whole family…” Olga said, her voice trembling as she looked up at Leon.
“A family that treated you like shit,” Leon replied flatly. He walked over to the couch and wiped the blood from both sides of the blade against the fabric.
“It was all I had… Now I’ll be sold as a slave, and my life will be destroyed completely. You better kill me with them, or I’ll tell everyone—” she began, but Leon cut her off.
“What work can you do?” he asked coldly, walking up to her and pointing the knife at her throat.
“I-I’m a housewife… I-I only know how to clean and cook…” Olga stammered, her eyes wide with fear.
“Look, I don’t want to kill you. I killed them because they tried to kill me. And wasting your beautiful figure as a slave? I don’t think I’ll ever let that happen—unless I’m the one buying you,” Leon said, his voice neutral as he tapped the knife over her squishy and soft boobs.
*Squish-Squish*
“Stand up and get out of this village,” he ordered.
“B-But… I don’t have anywhere to go,” she replied, her voice desperate.
“Wait for me outside the village. I’ll take you to a place,” Leon said calmly.
‘Here comes the first MILF of my dungeon…’ he thought to himself with a slight smirk.
“O-Okay…” Olga said softly, standing up and walking toward the door.
“If you try to tell anyone what happened here—or anything about me—just remember, the thread around your neck is still there,” Leon warned, tugging his fingers slightly.
Immediately, Olga felt the invisible mana thread tighten around her throat, making her shiver.
“I-I understand…” she whispered, hurrying out of the house and heading toward the village exit.
Leon walked to the window and watched her the entire time, ensuring she left without an issue or telling anything to anyone.
…
At the Village Exit…
“Hmm…? Madam Olga? Why are you here, out this late ?” one of the guards asked as she approached the gate.
“I-I was—” she began, but the moment she opened her mouth—
*Clench*
The mana thread squeezed tightly around her neck.
“I-I was just going to the kingdom to buy some important things,” she quickly said, trying to stay calm.
“Why are you bothering ma’am? The chief will eat us alive if he finds out we aren’t helping you and—”
“No. I don’t need any help. Stay there and do your job!” Olga snapped suddenly.
“Y-Yes, ma’am…” the guard replied, exchanging a confused glance with his partner as Olga walked away.
…
“Good Girl,” Leon muttered with a smile, watching from the window above. Just then, he noticed a little girl passing by the Chief’s house and suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
Leon immediately picked up a small wooden decorative coin from the table and dropped it toward the girl.
*Tuk*
“Ouch…” she muttered, looking down and noticing the wooden coin. She picked it up and glanced upward, spotting the open window.
Curious, she studied the coin, turning it over in her fingers.
“You should return it,” a voice said from behind her.
Startled, the girl turned around and saw Leon standing there.
“B-Brother Leon…” she gasped.
“That belongs to the Chief, doesn’t it ?” Leon asked with a calm smile.
“Yes… I think it fell from the window,” she replied.
“Well, go in and return it. Maybe you’ll get a reward,” Leon said.
“You think so ?” she asked with a wide, excited smile.
“Yeah. Sure,” he replied, already walking away.
“Okay then!” she chirped and ran to the door. As soon as she reached it, she noticed that it was already open.
“Sir? Are you here?” she called out, stepping cautiously inside.
The hallway was silent. She crept toward the dining room, guided by instinct and curiosity.
Then she stepped on something slick.
Looking down, she froze. The floor was covered in red, thick and sticky blood.
Following the trail with wide eyes, she slowly looked up at the dining table—and saw Jack’s corpse slumped over the table, his head split open, brain matter leaking out.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
Her scream shattered the silence, echoing across the entire village.
Villagers rushed to the Chief’s house in a frenzy. Some stormed inside and were met with the gruesome sight of the corpses.
The little girl was quickly pulled out by her mother and taken home, sobbing hysterically.
While the crowd flooded into the house, Leon walked calmly toward the village’s exit.
“Hey, Leon! What’s going on?” one of the guards asked as he spotted him.
“Yeah, why is everyone running?” the other added.
Leon’s face immediately twisted into a look of horror and panic.
“T-The… Chief and J-Jack… They’re murdered!” he stammered, faking fear as his body trembled slightly.
“What the hell?!” the first guard yelled, immediately rushing toward the house.
“Don’t worry, just go home. We adults will take care of this,” the other said, patting Leon’s shoulder before taking off.
“Stupid fucks…” Leon muttered under his breath and quickly slipped away, heading out of the village.
He soon spotted Olga sitting a few steps outside the gate.
“Let’s go,” Leon said as he approached her.
“But… where are we going?” Olga asked with a confused expression.
“Just come with me,” Leon replied as he started walking towards the Vinceral Forest.
…
Ten minutes later, Leon and Olga arrived at the dungeon entrance.
“Elis,” Leon called out.
*Swish*
In an instant, Elis appeared at the entrance of the dungeon, bowing deeply.
“Welcome back, Master.”
“Take her to the last room,” Leon instructed, pointing at Olga.
“As you command, Master. Please follow me…” Elis said, turning to Olga.
“B-But it’s so dark in there…” Olga said, her voice shaking.
“Yeah, I’ll do something about that tomorrow. Now go in—before a monster makes you his dinner,” Leon said, already turning to leave.
With no other option, Olga swallowed her fear and followed Elis into the darkness.
