A few hours after the events of the Sunrise sect, nightfall illuminated by the rise of stars so at Baron Totonk's manor in the black. Frost grew over the windows even as the duvet kept the girl in the room warm. The girl wore a silky nightgown and watched the ice crystals grow for a while, allowing her brain to be empty. The morning would bring the beauty of the ice for sure, that crunch under the boot and the bold greeting cold air brings. Yet between now and watching her breaths rise as new white-puffed clouds, she knew that the night is going to be a cold one.
Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
While the girl was looking at the distant sky through the window, someone knocked on the door softly.
"Come in" the door opened with a low creaking voice and then through the door came an old man who had his face covered with a dark hood.
"Miss Totonk, it seems there was a small hindrance to our plan," the old man said as Jane turned her gaze away from the distant sky to him.
"But Howard handled the situation and brought the girl here" the seriousness and the anger within her eyes disappeared. Her mouth curved upwards to reveal a small smile.
Jane was prepared to punish the old man if he failed his task. She already had hatred towards Ghost simply because Celina hated him and she would hate anyone that Celina hates. Her mother passed away when she was just born and although Celina was just her cousin, Celina raised her like a little sister and for Jane, she was like a mother. Therefore when she heard Celina's complaints about a guy who tried to perv on her at the waterfalls, Celina wanted to tear the guy into pieces. Like pouring petrol into the fire, her anger burned hotter after she heard what happened in Heaven's gate competition. By stepping onto the 100th step and standing beside Celina and Jack despite their strict order against it, Ghost disrespected Celina.
That was why when she heard Ghost came to Bradford through her spies, she immediately went to the Green Heaven and picked a fight with him. She thought her bodyguards could kick the crap out of him but instead, he almost killed her bodyguards.
What made her more furious was that when she told her father and asked him to punish Ghost, he sided with Ghost saying that it was her fault. Ever since she was born, he never raised his voice at her but because of GHost, he chewed her out and made her cry her eyes out. From that day, she was plotting her revenge on Ghost and when she heard he's going into the Nether Realm, she put her plans of messing with his plans in motion.
At first, she sent a couple of goons pretending to be customers to the Majestic to destroy the reputation of his new business. Then, she hired a group of bandits and ordered them to target Ghost's customers. As her next plan, she asked the old man who is her new bodyguard to hire a group of adventurers to harass the disciples and stop their renovation. Of course, by harassing, she meant breaking their bones just like Ghost did to her previous bodyguards as well as kidnap his girlfriend. Jane was planning to either sell her in the slave market or simply kill her and blame Bradia's devil, Lucifer. Many of her father's men were put into the night guard because of this Lucifer who's brutally killing the criminals and crooks and leaving a horrific scene of crime behind.
Baron Totonk had already sent people to the Church of the two asking the priests and the holy guards to come to Bredia. The people were scared silly and Jane was prohibited to leave the manor in the night. Baron Totonk tried to protect the little devil from the real devil but he had no idea that she was trying to get the attention of the devil all along.
"Hahahaha, good work old man, where is that bitch?" The old man was really surprised by Jane. When he first met her, he thought she's just a rich spoiled brat but after spending time with her, he realized that there is something ugly and rotten beneath her beautiful face.
As her bodyguard, the old man advised her to drop her revenge against Ghost because her reasoning seemed silly. After all, he didn't live this long by holding grudges and plotting revenge against a mysterious prodigy like Ghost. The old man and her father and Celina herself told her to drop the matter between her and Ghost, but Jane was stubborn as a mule.
"I put her into one of the secret prisons and Howard is keeping an eye on her"
"Howard is keeping an eye on that bitch? What happened to his men?"
"About that..." Jane frowned looking at the old man dragging his words out.
"What? You can explain it on the way" she quickly changed her mind as she wanted to meet Ghost's girlfriend as soon as possible. The old man nodded and followed her behind towards the secret prisons which were built under the manor.
