Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Monsters (1)

Unaware of the dangers heading toward the town, Xavier retired to bed with Selene.

While Selene was sound asleep, Xavier was awake, thinking of his next move. They had finally gotten rid of Gabriel, but many others still needed to be dealt with so he could have a peaceful life with Selene before someone else would show up.

The next person Xavier wanted to go after was Darius, and with the holy weapon he had in his hold, that would be possible.

What Xavier needed now was the perfect timing for Darius to be away from his guards so the kill wouldn’t be seen.

If not for Selene, Xavier would have long killed Darius and not cared about who would come after him. Now, he had to keep Selene tucked away where she would be safe since others would go after her if they couldn’t get to him.

Xavier raked his fingers through Selene’s hair. Since Gabriel’s death, Selene seemed a little bit more relaxed, but Xavier knew she wouldn’t be truly comfortable until they got rid of Cassandra.

There wasn’t a question in Xavier’s mind that Cassandra might come after Selene.

Xavier stopped moving his fingers through Selene’s hair when she stirred in her sleep. Her plans to stay awake at night always failed since she was so busy during the day.

Selene had unexpectedly caused Xavier to change his life around since he was no longer more active at night. To roam around at night meant he had to leave Selene alone in bed, and he couldn’t possibly do that.

Xavier looked over Selene in the direction of the balcony door after he heard a noise. He waited for a moment to hear the guards taking care of the intruder, but he was met with silence.

Whoever came was welcomed.

They were welcomed, but they annoyed Xavier since they disturbed his time with Selene.

Xavier slipped out of bed as quietly as he could not to wake Selene. He walked over to the balcony, deciding if he would kill the person outside.

Xavier wasn’t pleased to see it was Orlork and Jasper. He closed the door behind him and went out to the two fools.

"Why do you look so grumpy, Xavier? Are we disturbing something?" Orlork asked.

"It is late," Xavier pointed out.

"It is. This is the perfect time for us to go around the town. Were you sleeping?" Orlork asked, taking notice of Xavier’s attire. "At this time of the day? What has become of you?"

"Some of us enjoy being with our wives to lie around at any hour of the day. You would not understand since your wife wants to kill you. What have you come for? Be quick with it," said Xavier.

It wouldn’t be long before Selene noticed he was missing.

"I was speaking to Zephyr earlier. He showed me markings which resemble the language of demons. I have studied that language for years to recognise it. I suspect a demon has attached itself to a human here," said Orlork.

"I do wonder if a demon attaches itself to a human, could it enter a church and corrupt it? I cannot think of any other way a church would lose its power. I heard you entered a church. Did you find anything strange?" Orlork inquired. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
