The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 32: Uninvited Guest.

So he's finally here to check why we didn't complain about the house being haunted. Let's see what card he picks up.

"Hello, Mr Parno, what brought you here unannounced?"

Viktor asked.

"Mr Viktor it's good to see you."

"Come inside. It's rude to keep a guest waiting at the front door."

"Hahaha. You're being generous."

Viktor was following the man from behind because he was walking as if he knew every corner of the house. Even if he was a guest or the seller of the house, Viktor was not happy about it.

Because it's so disrespectful.

When the man himself went inside the guest room, Viktor said,

"Mr Parno, please wait here for 10 minutes. I'll be back soon."

"Yes, yes. Of course. "

Viktor left the room and told Adonis to give him some shacks and tea. And he left by clenching his teeth.

-That punk walks around my house as if he owns it. And it's already 6 PM. What kind of person visits someone's house unannounced at 6? He's definitely up to something.

Viktor went into his study room and took out a book from the shelf. It was a book about the noble family tree who lived here a few years ago. But they all died for an unknown reason one night.

They were the relatives of the duke who rules Brinein territory.

After 30 minutes, Adonis came inside and asked why he wasn't in the guest room. Parno was still waiting inside.

Viktor was spending his time with the family book he found. It was a huge book with 200 years of history.

"Master, Parno is requesting your presence in the guest room."

"Hmm. He should wait a little more."

"Should I go tell him, master?"

done.me

"No, go and prepare something to eat for the three of us. He won't be going home tonight."

"Yes, master."

He closed the door without making a sound and left.

- He's acting like a professional butler already. It's a good thing that I sealed his powers. Or, he might backstab me.

The power Adonis has is called absolute destruction. It's quite similar to Viktor's, but it's not.

Adonis's power is a curse that allows him to suck a living being's life by touching it. His curse was so powerful that he used to wear gloves all the time to prevent himself from killing any person accidentally.

And Viktor's crest of destruction is the crest that carries every knowledge about killing. From weaponry to poisons, he knows how to use every method of killing his opponent. It's the most dangerous crest that the Guardian of knowledge holds.

Adonis's power is so dangerous that Viktor has no other choice but to seal it. Without his powers, he might be weak. But his normal powers are similar to a 7th-circle magician.

….

The afternoon turned into night and then, Viktor closed his book and left the room to annoy the guest whom he kept inside his house.

"Hello Mr, Parno. I apologise for my late arrival. Did you enjoy the tea?"

Viktor came inside the room with a bright smile that made Parno so furious. But he had to control his anger.

"Ah, no no. I was enjoying the tea. Thank you very much."

-I can feel his anger from here. Heheh! This is what happens when you visit someone's house unannounced. And I hate guests.

"Then, let's get to the point. Why did you come here?"

"Oh, I'm here for a survey. So you see, we collect the information about the situation of the house. We want to make sure if something is bothering you or you're feeling uncomfortable, you can complain to our guild so that we can fix those problems. This is how we maintain a better relationship between the buyer and seller to improve our products."

"I see."

"Then Mr Viktor, do you have any complaints about this house? Any problem with the water supply? Or any broken walls?"

"No, everything is perfect ."

"Then do you feel uncomfortable here?"

"No, I am very comfortable here, thank you."

Parno looked a little annoyed and he asked,

"Do you feel uncomfortable? Like, when you're sleeping?"

"Mr Parno. Why is your guild interested in my personal life? I believe your survey doesn't contain any questions about what I like to eat right?"

"Hahah. Sorry, was I going too far? I apologise for my stupidity."

"Yes, you should be sorry."

DING! DING! DING! DING!

Suddenly, the clock Viktor made months ago rang so loudly that it could be heard from all over the house.

"What was that??"

Parno was confused.

"It's the dining room clock. It's 8 PM now."

"Oh! When did they build a small clock? I am really curious about it. "

"I think it's about the time you leave this house."

Adonis was looking at the man without blinking for 10 minutes which made him more uncomfortable. So, he took his hat and left the room without saying anything.

"That man is up to something now."

"Master, an hour ago, his horseman left quietly with his house. He's going to come back with an excuse to stay in this house for the night."

"I know. "

"So, the reason why you ordered me to cook meals for 3 people is because you knew it all along ?"

"Maybe."

"Then I'll go serve the food on the table."

Viktor was again alone in the room with his cup of tea. The sun was already down but he didn't turn on the light. Because Adonis was walking around the house in his shadow form to check if any suspicious person was entering the house or not.

After 10 minutes, Parno came back on his own and explained that his house was missing from his carriage and that he needed to stay in the house for a night.

So, Viktor agreed and lent him a bedroom and ate dinner together.

"Master, there are 12 people hiding outside the house. And Parno is contacting them with a magic device."

"I'll sleep peacefully tonight. You go ahead and do whatever you wish. But leave Parno. I want to see his reaction tomorrow."

"Yes, master."

Right then, Adonis vanished into the dark and he turned off the light. The whole house became dark and looked like it was haunted.

"It's going to be a long night."
