Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 73 [Bonus Chapter]Still Alive!

Boom!

The Gia family members stood up abruptly: "What did you say?!"

Everyone stared at Dorian as if trying to tear open his head to see if he was lying or not.

Dorian calmly stared at them before nodding lazily: "She's still alive. But not for too long. If we don't save her before sunrise, I'm afraid it will be too late by then!"

Instantly, everyone gaped, uncertain whether to breathe or scream in shock, glee and fear.

Mother Pia burst out into tears of joy and worry when thinking of her little girl.

After the creatures died, the flickering lights in the room all returned to normal and came on again.

So the entire hall was already well lit.

Pia hastily looked at her watch and realized that it was already a little past12 midnight.

That's it! The sun rose around 7 A.M during these hot summer days.

But who would wait till then to save her baby?

No way! They had to leave now!

Dorian calmly stood up after seeing their ashen faces and knew what they were thinking.

He indeed had to save the girl, but before then, they had to spend at least 2 hours in his Tian household.

He had something to do!

Like so, the gang of anxious and confused people all dashed out of the Hall like lightning, passing through the many windy hallways that looked like they had been through a lot themselves.

The Hallways had thousands and thousands of cobwebs, making it seem like no one had passed through the mansion in the last decades.

The portrait on the walls and the expensive items and vases on the side tables had all fallen and shattered into a thousand pieces.

And as if that wasn't enough, from time to time, they would see their men lying on the ground and moaning very faintly too.

No doubt about it, it seemed that even if they had fled the Hall earlier on, they might not have ended up well.

Everyone's face turned grim with worry for the men on the hallway floors.

But before they could think further, Raulin was quick to ease their worries: "Fear not. They are fine and should just be waking up from the creature's spell. The Grandmaster had already checked their situations when we arrived earlier."

With widened eyes, everyone was relieved by Raulin's words.

But again, many were quick to pick out a few key sentences there too.

So the Tian Boy was a Grandmaster?

Even though they didn't know much about this strange profession, thinking about all Dorian did, they too felt that the title was well deserved.

Alright. Now, they burned the title in their hearts, daring not to call him anything else apart from Grandmaster Tian.

No one wanted to offend such a powerful figure, so they decided to be as obedient as they could.

Not to talk of the fact that the Grandmaster saved their lives and was about to save the only Gia granddaughter too.

Sigh... It was just unfortunate that the Grandmaster was a step late. If they had known of today's matter, they would've long invited him over, making sure that no one had to die.

Today, they had already lost 23 good men and would now have to contact their families and lie that they died in battle, an assassination attempt or war instead.

The creature swallowed these people's bodies whole before spitting out their attire.

So they could quickly tell just how many were truly dead.

Thinking of the deceased men, everyone felt a touch of sorrow for the way they died.

This might not be the bloodiest Gia battle ever, but it was no doubt the most memorable.

~Din. Din. Din. Din. Din~

The heavy footsteps of everyone sounded out as they dashed through the vast, now desolate-looking hallways.

But if the inside of the mansion had surprised them, the shock they received when stepping out made them freeze in place.

Okay... Their entire estate that scanned for miles and miles now looked so haunted.

F***! Even the grass had long turned brown too. The cobwebs, the many moaning men all laying around, and everything else... only gave them an inevitable wave of anxiety bottled up in their bellies.

And just like Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, they began sticking close to Dorian like glue.

Hey. Who knew if something else was out here? At this point, even the steady ordinary night breeze made their sounds tingle with worry.

So what you like, but after going through what they did, they had long decided to shamelessly stock close to Dorian and his men.

Call them cowardly, what a joke!

The ladies all sent their children to run closer to Dorian while also keeping a close distance too.

At this point, all the Gia members had decided to follow Dorian to his Tian estate.

What if some other creature wanted to come over when he left their Gia household?

Yes. Dorian had assured them that nothing would happen and had also promised to retrieve their daughter.

So in truth, they could also stay back and wait for their daughter to be delivered to them.

However, they felt that it was safer to be next to Dorian than further.

Mommy... This was the supernatural, alright?

~Owwwwwww~~~

The moans from outside grew louder as several guards now woke up.

Flutter. Flutter.

Their eyelashes fluttered for a bit while trying to over the wave of dizziness that hit them hard after waking up

At first, their expressions were that of confusion. But soon, it turned into disbelief when looking at the scene before them.

I'll go! Did they suddenly get teleported into another strange world?

(+0+)

Wei Gia thinned his lips and nodded at Renjin, who in turn faced a few of his guards sternly: "Take care of the matters here while we're gone. And remember, the Grandmaster said that no one is to leave or enter the estate after we're gone."

"Yes, sir!" The guards responded while stepping aside to do the tasks assigned to them.

They not only had to brief the guards on what happened here, but keep the perimeters locked and secured.

If they wanted to stay alive, they had to remain in the estate at all times, no matter what!

Hulan looked at the scene in horror while watching the Gia family members enter the vehicles.

"No! No! You can't leave me here! What if those things came back for me?"

Everyone looked at her in disdain, treating her like a noisy fly on the wall.

But their actions only made Hulan even more crazed instead.

Tears and snot covered her pale face the more she thought of her predicament.

She is so young and obviously a beauty who deserves all the finer things in life.

So why should she stay in this cursed estate?

The tied-up Hulan began jumping towards Dorian's vehicle like crazy.

"Help! Help! They want to kill me! You there!... I, I, I can give you my body if you promise to take me out... Look. I'll even give you my kidney too! Save me! Please, save me!"
