Chapter 373 Mistake
"Thank you for shopping at Whispering Pages!" Bella said with a smile that brightened up the room like a beacon of happiness.
"T-thanks." The male customer bashfully said, and he left the store with a bag of books and a blush on his cheeks.
"Mm." Bella hummed a gentle tune while taking a box of new books from under the counter, and then walked to one of the shelves.
She began filling the empty shelves with the scent of new books lingering in the air. It was a smell she loved.
"Bella, why are you smiling so much?" Emma laid flat on her stomach on the nearby couch, looking at her with a suspicious gaze.
"I am always smiling." Bella replied with a cheeky smile and glanced at the little girl, who was doing nothing but laze around. "Miss Emma, mind giving me a hand?"
"No!" Emma shook her head in rejection. "I am tired..."
Bella wryly smiled and then heard the bell above the door jingle, signaling the entrance of new customers.
"Welcome to Whispering Pages; I'll be with you shortly!"
"Okay!" A chirpy-sounding young woman said, and browsed the shelves in search of a new book to spend her evening with.
She was lovely-looking with cute features, resembling those of a cat, and radiated innocence as if she had just entered adulthood.
As she removed one of the books from the shelf, through the gap between the books on the shelf, she saw a wanted poster nailed to the wall.
It was a red-wanted poster with a detailed picture of a purple-eyed man with a devilishly charming smile. It was clear that he was not a person to mess with. nOve-lb-1n
"That man..." She put the book back on the shelf and walked over to the counter, almost leaning over it as she tried to catch a proper glimpse of the wanted poster.
"Hey, who is he?" She asked, pointing towards the red wanted poster.
Bella and Emma looked over, seeing her pointing at a very familiar poster. They wondered why she wanted to know.
"He goes by the name of Ambrose." Bella put the box down and walked over to her.
"Aha." She let out a short laugh and looked at the beautiful red-eyed woman with a curious eyebrow raise. "You must be close to him. If you weren't, you wouldn't have his poster nailed on the wall."
Bella walked to the other side of the counter. She then started placing pamphlets on the advertising shelf.
"Oh, we don't know him." Bella said with a calm smile. "I just like the way he looks."
Thud—Bella fell to the ground with a stunned look, a little bit of blue blood dripping down from her nose.
"Bella!" Emma screamed and ran towards her, but then Coraline grabbed her by the arm.
"Ah!"
"Mind telling me where he is?" Coraline pulled Emma closer without caring whether she hurt her and whispered venomously. "Well, little girl? Have you seen that man visit this place?"
"N-no!" Emma screamed and tried to pull her arm back, but it was being held by a firm grip, as if her hand were stuck.
"Hands off her!"
Swoosh—a sharp sword cut through the air.
"Oh." Coraline grabbed the blade with her bare hand and looked at the red-eyed woman with a smirk. "You are attacking an Inquisitor. That is a criminal offense. I'll be taking you with me."
"Mortal Style, Nachbilder!" Bella vanished from her current spot and smashed her fist across Coraline's face.
Smack—Coraline barely flinched, and instead smiled with a sickening look.
However, Bella had no intention to injure her.
In that small time frame, she quickly rescued Emma from her clutches and escaped with her to the upstairs.
"Ah, you are running?" Coraline picked up the sword, which Bella used to attack her, and tapped it against her hand while slowly approaching the stairs.
"You cannot escape. I have already scouted every possible escape route. If you try to leave through the window, my spies will catch you~
"Come with me willingly, stupid bitch!"
Crack—at that moment, the windows shattered behind her with a loud boom.
"?!" Coraline snapped her head around, and panic flashed across her face.
"Who is the bitch?!" A demonic scream reverberated across the bookstore.
A purple-eyed man with an enraged look on his face flew through the shattered windows and grabbed her by the throat, then flew through several concrete walls, using her body as a wrecking ball.
Coraline coughed blood and landed a punch on her assailant's face, but he didn't flinch.
He simply looked at her coldly in the face and smashed her body down on the concrete pavement. The pavement cracked like a vase, and she coughed up blood, looking like her spine might have shattered from the impact.
"So, Inquisitors have come knocking. A big mistake!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
