Chapter 413: Will You Support Me If I Stop Taking Illegal Deals?

Sienna wanted to maintain the serious atmosphere, but as she looked at the weird limbs and heard Chen Zhao’s tone, the horrifying atmosphere vanished.

“It does… look slightly funny.”

The walking Nest of Curses suddenly leaped at Chen Zhao, who was prepared for it.

He opened the Mouth of Glutton as wide as he could and enveloped the Nest from above.

Munch!

Only the lower half of the Nest remained.

Chen Zhao felt somewhat full, but there was still something left.

Whatever, it’s okay to be too full.

He controlled the Mouth and did the same thing again.

The Nest was gone…

After the second bite, the Mouth was clearly chewing and digesting the food much more slowly. Chen Zhao had no choice but to drag his huge arm along.

Everyone looked at his arm. Chen Zhao immediately said, “I’ll eat anyone who dares to laugh at my arm now.”

“Ha… What lovely weather.” Movich turned his head to look at the ceiling.

“…”

After a while, the Mouth finally digested the Nest.

Chen Zhao’s arm returned to its original size. He moved his arm around and could feel the power within it.

“Tell me what’s happening.”

“Someone has been hunting and killing witches.” Sienna had a very solemn expression on her face.

“What?”

“The Nest of Curses is made from the corpses of ten witches. Their bodies developed into the Nest, which in turn hatched them, turning them into Disasters.”

“What’s the point of doing that?” Chen Zhao asked, confused.

“If all the ten Disasters are completely hatched, they’ll start to kill and devour each other. In the end, there will only be one left.”

“And then?”

“The Disaster will turn into a Calamity.”

“Is it very strong?”

“Dunno.” Sienna shook her head. “I’ll ask the witches who’re specialized in curses. Maybe someone will tell me the answer.”

“First of all, you said someone’s been hunting witches, so the person is definitely more powerful than an ordinary witch. It must be difficult to kill ten witches, right?” Chen Zhao asked.

Sienna nodded, “The person is not just strong, but also very cruel. I don’t understand why he or she would do this.”

“Next, why would that person place the Nest here? Could it be placed by a staff member here?” Chen Zhao looked at Movich Tutas.

“I don’t think so. I suspect that the Nest has escaped from the person’s control. That’s why it’s here. It should be a coincidence.”

“Why?”

“I found traces of the Nest moving, near the vent there.”

“I’ve also checked the surveillance video records. Before the Nest of Curses appeared, nobody’s been here. In fact, the engineer would not have come here if not for the malfunctioned generator set,” Movich said.

“Fine. Let’s say it’s not a staff member here,” Chen Zhao said. “The only thing we can confirm is that the person is really powerful. Sienna, do you know anyone who’s that powerful?”

Everyone looked at Chen Zhao. Sienna also pointed at him and said, “You.”

“Not me. I wouldn’t do such a perverted thing.”

“There aren’t many powerful witches in LA, let alone someone who can kill ten witches.”

“Is there anyone you suspect?”

“Not really.”

“Forget it. Let’s get out. It smells so bad here,” Chen Zhao suggested.

The group walked out of the station. The air outside was indeed much fresher.

Burp!

Everyone looked at Chen Zhao, who helplessly glanced at his right arm. “It’s my arm. It’s too full.”

Everyone was speechless. They sat down and discussed for a long while but to no avail.

After all, they had too little important information. There was no way they could deduce anything useful.

“I’ll go and ask someone about it. Chen, if needed, I think you should help us again. The person’s intention should be to create a Calamity. The Nest of Curses here has been destroyed by you, so the person might start to kill witches again.”

“Sienna, aren’t you in a dangerous spot then?” Chris asked.

“Sienna, if you need anything, call me anytime. I’ll be there as soon as possible.”

“Yes, I understand.” Sienna also did not dare to be careless. After all, the incident was very unusual.

Ten witches had been killed. The person was powerful and brutal.

…

On their way back home, Sienna, Chris, and Cheryl all seemed listless.

Sitting in the back seat, Sienna grabbed her phone. “Rupert, where are you now?”

“What?”

“I need your help.”

“Not free. I have a big deal at the moment.”

“I discovered a Nest of Curses today,” Sienna said with a serious tone.

There was a momentary period of silence. “Are you alright?”

“Yes. Fortunately, my friend arrived in time to prevent the worst-case scenario.”

“Do you know another powerful witch apart from me?”

“Even you aren’t confident about taking down a Nest of Curses, right?”

“Nobody can be confident on that. That’s a meaningless statement.”

“I’m not calling to argue with you. I just want to remind you to be careful. I don’t know who the culprit is yet, but the person is definitely very strong. If she can create the first Nest of Curses, then she can certainly create the second.”

“I’m not scared of her.”

“Do you know anyone in LA who might have done this? Or anyone who might know how to make a Nest of Curses?”

“Dunno. You know that I seldom talk to other witches, even you, not to mention others.”

“Alright. If you have any clue, remember to tell me.”

“For what? So that you can go and kill yourself?”

“I can’t beat such a lunatic, but my friend can.”

“Oh, by the way, lend me the spellbook that Teacher left for you. I need to look at a few curses.”

“You have another illegal deal?”

“Or else? Will you support me financially? Forget it. You can’t even sustain yourself.”

Sienna did not know what to reply. Indeed, she had a really tough life.

After she hung up the call, she fell into silence again.

“Sienna, who was that?” Cheryl asked out of curiosity.

“A younger sister. She’s even younger than you.”

“Why do I feel that she’s older than you?”

“She’s my Teacher’s second student. She awakened on the second night, so she’s much more talented than me. Also, she’s very mature.”
