Rise of the Eromancer

Chapter 181 Messy Messsy

[What… did the Amerkans just kill someone live on the news?]

[Did we just watch some get burned alive?]

[They are beating up Rhys!]

[lol gg Rhys. All dat hype for him to get cucked by nobodies.]

[Why isn't he fighting back!?]

[Fight back? Dude could lift an entire bus filled with people. Everyone's dead if he fights back.]

[lol yeah.cope more. GG rizzboy. Das what u get.]

[Who let illiterate people out on the internet again?]

Rhys truly was not fighting back. He just groveled on the ground while more than dozens of people stomped and stepped on his head — still, he kneeled and sat up from time to time; his face, once again hidden from the world as his hair and face was covered in his blood, so much so that even his eyes were tinted red.

No.

His face was not the only thing covered in red; even his blood was starting to dampen his knees as he truly was bleeding heavily and without pause.

"No… no," Katarina's eyes also started moving without pause as they widened by the second; her breaths became scarce as she gritted her teeth and stared at all the people hitting Rhys, "I'm going to kill all of you… all of you… I know your faces… I'm going to kill all of you and your families."

"..." Ayesha, who was trying to hold her back, could not help but slightly move away from Katarina as she heard the words escaping her breaths. But as she remembered Rhys's orders, she just let out a sigh and stood in front of her before hugging her,

"Kat, it's okay."

"It's okay… yes, it's okay to kill each and every last one of them," Katarina started letting out a menacing chuckle as a scalpel very slowly emerged from her skin arm, "You too, Ayesha. I am going to kill you if you don't move."

Ayesha did not move, but she was thinking about it as soon as she realized where Katarina was actually hiding her weapons this entire time. Was it… actually hidden through her flesh, and then she's just healing herself each time?

Ayesha truly did think Katarina was the most normal one of them all… but each time she was learning something new from her, she could not help but think she was the most psychopathic of them all.

"Kat, think about it," Ayesha did not let go of Katarina and tightened her embrace on her, "Do you really think people like them could make Rhys bleed? The pervert's right, Rhys is making a show out of this."

"Did you just call me a pervert?" Maria raised an eyebrow at Ayesha, "Well, I guess I am. But only Rhys can call me that — and you're right. As I said… Rhys likes to turn everything into a show."

"That…" Katarina's wild eyes very slowly started to calm down as she looked closer at Rhys. She wanted to look away, but as soon as she truly focused on him, she noticed that Rhys was actually really only bleeding from the mouth, "...Did he bite his own tongue?"

And as the three were quietly discussing Rhys, the chaos was ensuing and getting worse, and it did not help that there were more than a dozen reporters there showing everything live.

"Turn off all your cameras! Off!" Captain Leary was trying his best to throw all the reporters away, even breaking their cameras. Sadly for Leary, most cameramen being hired by stations have the blood of Hephaestus and always have an extra camera they could summon instantly…

…he was just making the situation worse.

[Seriously? They are prioritizing the reporters? Help the Lowborns for fuck's sake.]

[Just let them all die. They're terrorists.]

[Right, because it's guilty before proven innocent. Fk the world.]

[Cope more. They just confessed they were the ones who bombed the building.]

[So I can just buy a mask and pretend to be a member of Wilder's Harem and say all the shit I want? Are you guys stupid?]

[lol. Doesn't matter. Fk him up! That's what he gets for filling up my feed even though he's just a Lowborn. Tired of seeing the dude's face, he's nto even that handsome.]

[We from Hermania approve. Kill the Dregga!]

[Dafuq? Who let the nazi here…?]

[Dregga shi ne!!! Wwww]

[Fucking classists! They should have bombed you two more times!]

"No, fuck!"

And while the entire world was divided by what was happening, Captain Leary was completely confused as to why it was happening. No one should have known.

No one should have known they were bringing Rhys Wilder to this building. Everything was supposed to be incognito — they did not even choose an auspicious location or a government building for this. Even their car and escort were completely inconspicuous to the point they just looked like any other civilians.

And yet not only are there reporters, there's also an angry mob of classists seemingly just waiting for them, and the members of the Wilder's Harem weren't even supposed to be brought here since they weren't as High Value as Rhys and his women.

His second-in-command told him that he ordered to bring them here, and yet he did not remember giving any orders — and why would he even give an order like that? It just doesn't make—

Captain Leary's eyes then widened as he saw something from the crowd of angry mobs — he saw himself, staring at him with a smirk on his face before very slowly morphing into the face of someone else.

"What the…" Captain Leary could really only blink a couple of times; perhaps a mistake, because as he did so, the doppelganger disappeared, "...This is a set-up! Someone is trying to assassinate—no… Rhys set this up himself! Men, arrest everyone!"

[lolol. First Rhys bombed the building, now Rhys let himself get mobbed. Go Amerka. Wtf.]

[Next they are going to say Rhys started the Holocaust.]

[Just kill the Dregger!]

[stfu.]

[lol, its just a word you snowflakes.]

[your moms a hoe bitch.]

"Everyone…

…arrest everyone!"

***

[The suspect in the horrific bombing of the Underworld Trade Center, is currently being treated at an undisclosed location—]

"They are still treating him as a suspect…?"

"Well, K — everything is stacked against him. Right now, he is the perfect suspect for this."

A few hours after Captain Leary and his men successfully calmed the angry mob, Rhys and the other women were brought to another location; this time with sacks on their heads. Suffice it to say, that was also caught on camera and some people did not like it, especially when they saw them putting a sack on Rhys's bloodied face.

Captain Leary, however, did not care anymore as he just knew that it was Rhys who caused the entire chaos earlier; he just doesn't know when or how he was able to conquer such a thing when he was fully guarded the entire time — and the only time he was actually outside was when they transferred him to a car from the private plane.

Captain Leary, of course, was going to ask Rhys no matter what; he knew he wasn't unconscious. But as soon as Rhys was transferred to a hospital, Ayesha blocked his path. He warned her that he would charge her with obstruction…

…but Ayesha told him she would obstruct his face with her fist.

And so, the only thing Captain Leary could really do was leave the room and stay outside; making sure even the windows were protected. The worst part of this all, is that Rhys was clearly uninjured even with all the blood — but Katarina just said that she healed him.

"Fuck damn it…" Captain Leary could not help but click his tongue, "...If only his whores aren't with him."

"Why… are his women with him, Captain?" His second-in-command asked as he heard their Commander's whisper.

"Ayesha," Captain Leary scoffed, "She threatened us she would run amok if we separated them. And no one from the Top 15 is willing to help us either, fuck."

"Why not just… force her?" The second-in-command asked, "Surely, the law—"

"The law doesn't apply to people like her," Captain Leary looked his second-in-command in the eyes, "The world has no idea how monstrous Ayesha or the other people from the Top 15 truly is. They are the closest beings to gods you will ever see."

"But I heard she lost to Arachnea twice already."

"I'll shoot you right now for your own good," Captain Leary scoffed, "The fact that she survived against a real god just proves what a monster she is. She—"

"Move."

And before Captain Leary could finish his words, a woman suddenly stood right in front of her, gesturing to him to move away from the door.

"Princess Agatha, please…!!!"

Captain Leary could really only look at the woman in front of her. And as soon as he felt the air heating up and the air distorting around her, the only thing he could really do was close his eyes and step to the side.

…Why was he even here?

"Master Rhys!"

"Wh—"

Agatha did not care at all about anyone as she just barged into the room, not even knocking at all. Katarina, Ayesha, and Maria could not help but raise their guards as soon as they saw a Noble suddenly barged into Rhys's room.

But once again, Agatha did not care for them at all as she just shrieked excitedly and literally leaped toward Rhys, who was lying on the bed. Ayesha was going to block and catch her, but she retracted her hand when she felt the extreme heat coming out of Agatha's body…

…the only thing they could really do was watch as Agatha started kissing the unconscious Rhys.

"Rhys…" As for Katarina, her eyes started to twitch as her scalpels once again emerged from her arms,

"...You better wake up and explain this."
