Being forced to kneel on the ground by Blake's aura and magical power, the old woman could no longer muster the slightest disloyalty, only looking at Blake in disbelief.
She couldn't understand why Blake, who looked so young, possessed such immense power. However, the only thing she understood was that, as an old and cunning individual, she knew very well that if she didn't submit, the consequences would be dire. She could tell that Blake wasn't the kind of person to be merciful; he was definitely decisive and ruthless.
"Lord, I was wrong!" In the next instant, she begged for
mercy with all her might, her expression as pathetic as could be.
"You didn't agree earlier, now there's no chance!" Blake said indifferently.
"No! Please, Lord! Please be merciful! This old woman is willing to obey all your commands!" This made the old witch tremble with fear, not pretending at all. Faced with the threat of death, such old folks were often the easiest to betray.
"Hehe, you change your mind so quickly. I should just kill you after all."
"Ah! No, no, I wouldn't dare! This old woman will definitely prioritize your Lordship's commands." Hearing this, the old witch trembled all over, her teeth chattering, and she quickly started flattering him.
"Then tell me, how can I trust you?"
Looking down playfully at the old witch kneeling on the ground, Blake's gaze was cold.
"Uh... this... this old woman..."
Her eyes darted around, harboring wicked intentions, but just then, Blake suddenly raised his hand.
"Ah... uh... glug... glug...!"
Her mouth opened wide in a terrified scream, but in that instant, Blake flicked his finger, and a black puppet directly entered the old witch's mouth, and she swallowed it whole.
"Lord, what is this..."
She raised her head with a face full of terror, wanting to seek an answer, but all that responded was a snap of fingers.
Snap!
"Ugh... eh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...!!!!!"
A shrill scream echoed through the night sky, but soon, the scream stopped.
Pale-faced, trembling all over, and covered in sweat, the old witch truly tasted the flavors of hell.
Although it was only a few short seconds, this torment
was even more unbearable than killing her.
"This is a small insurance. Even if we're separated by millions of miles, as long as you're alive, I can control your life and death. The pain you just experienced was only one-tenth of it. If you want to try something even more painful, I wouldn't mind at all."
"Please... Lord! Please... have mercy!... This old woman..."
"Enough nonsense. This cursed puppet has already merged with your soul. It allows me to sense your general thoughts, and no one can undo it, not even if you change your body or soul! Moreover, once someone tries to undo it, it will activate on its own. You can try if you don't believe me."
Blake's words were like a final fatal sword, completely shattering the old witch's hopes.
It wasn't that she doubted the truth of his words, but rather that what Blake said was exactly what she had been thinking.
"This old woman... will obey your Lordship's commands...!"
"It's not obeying me, but obeying little Yuma. From now on, she is your young mistress. Her words are orders, and you must do everything possible to fulfill her requests."
"This old woman understands your Lordship's meaning."
Blake nodded. For such an old and cunning fellow, some things didn't need much explanation.
"Alright, how you explain things to Yuma and how you deal with the organization is your business."
"Your Lordship is truly young and promising, actually managing to... with your own strength..."
"Stop. I don't like hearing that."
"Yes, this old woman understands..."
"That's roughly it. I'll be staying for a while longer. Don't show yourself these days. Yuma's lessons will continue as usual, but I think you understand how to change the curriculum." Then, Blake pondered for a moment before speaking.
"
This old woman understands. I will definitely formulate the most reasonable curriculum for the young lady."
This old fellow had completely switched identities in such a short time, from just now until now. Blake couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Oh, right. I know what you plan to have Yuma do, and I also know about her mother."
"Your Lordship... knows?"
The old witch widened her old eyes in disbelief. She absolutely couldn't believe that Blake knew such confidential information so well.
Was he also a member of the Library? Or had the little princess already told him all this?
"Ayame Sendo, and the Book of the End, that's your target, right? You're truly a selfish bunch. Well, but Yuma's mother probably understood long ago that your goal wasn't to save her, but to obtain the Book of the End she possesses."
After Blake finished speaking, the old witch was beyond shocked.
Not only did he know the secrets, but he also knew their organization's intentions. What exactly was his identity?
This couldn't be explained by mere strength alone!
"Don't think too much. You just need to complete Yuma's tasks. As for the Book of the End, do whatever you want, no, you should do whatever Yuma wants. I think even if Yuma's identity and status change, she won't give up this innate mission. At least, she will still go and see what kind of person her never-before-seen mother is."
After speaking, Blake took a step forward and disappeared from the spot, leaving the old witch standing there dumbfounded.
Afterward, the old witch directly killed the middle-aged man kneeling behind her to prevent any information from leaking out, as that would put her in danger.
