Chapter 1103 - 521: I Will Kill You

Chapter 1103: Chapter 521: I Will Kill You

Although that is bound to come at a great cost, it is still more acceptable compared to directly killing a colleague and becoming an enemy of the entire Witch Association.

With this plan in mind, Finn has been trying to provoke Astrid’s emotions over the years.

Under the alias of "rival in love," he attempted to kill that King.

He secretly aggravated the child’s bloodline, putting her in a life-and-death crisis.

All of it, the sole purpose was to make Astrid’s state of mind increasingly worse and more unstable.

As long as he could get his hands on the pocket watch, all the previous efforts would be worth it.

He plans to advance to demigod with the divine format in the pocket watch and then forcibly ascend to godhood with the Witch Association as the foundation of faith.

At the start, he would not choose a powerful divine position but one that no one cares about, one that would not create conflicts with others to ascend.

As the newly ascended true god, he would fully grasp the Witch Association, directly converting it into his own Church, skipping nearly a century of accumulation.

If everything goes smoothly, Finn will become the only new god successfully ascending to godhood in hundreds of years.

At that time, whatever special traits Herbert has would no longer be an issue.

If the grudge can be resolved, Finn is willing to pay some price, even if it means a great loss.

As long as Herbert can ensure not to interfere with him, he can make any demand he wants.

But Finn also understands that this is merely the ideal scenario.

Now, with Herbert deliberately disguising himself and appearing before him, it’s clear he has a purpose.

What does he really know?

Adhering to the principle of speaking less to make fewer mistakes, Finn remained silent in response to Herbert’s teasing, waiting to analyze after the other party spoke first.

"Hmm?"

Herbert smiled and waited for a while, blinking when he realized Finn was not planning to respond.

"You’re not willing to say anything?"

He curled his lips, shook his head with regret, and remarked, "Ha, you really are a boring man."

"Not good at conversation at all, no wonder people don’t like you."

?

Hearing this, Finn, even though he never felt any genuine sentiment towards his pursuit of Astrid, felt a pang of discomfort.

Not really, how dare you speak like that?

???

Finn had long anticipated their meeting, expected an attack from Herbert, but never thought he’d receive such an assessment.

What do you mean?

What do you mean I’m not popular with women!!?

I am the esteemed Epic Grand Mage!

How could I care about whether a woman likes me or not?

No!

I don’t care! I don’t mind! I never cared!

It was because my intentions in approaching her were impure, she sensed my thoughts, and that’s why she rejected me.

Yes, the reason for my failure lies in not giving it my all, not because I’m a boring person!

The more Finn thought about it, the more upset he got, so much so his breath became unstable for a moment, and he let out a particularly displeased grunt.

"Hmph!"

Herbert clearly saw through his shaken truth, slightly tilting his mouth and innocently spreading his hands.

"Oh dear, sir, don’t be agitated, I didn’t say much at all."

"Moreover, if you feel like crying right now, I’ve even thoughtfully prepared a handkerchief for you to wipe your tears."

Herbert thoughtfully took out a handkerchief, pretended to hand it over, then very naturally pulled it back halfway amidst Finn’s cold and puzzled gaze.

What are you thinking?

How could I give a handkerchief to a man!

"It seems that rather than chatting with me, you’re more interested in knowing what exactly I ’know’... Sigh, as expected, a boring guy."

After confirming that this guy is a dull and uninteresting man, Herbert also lost interest in further teasing Finn.

"Alright, while I’m not particularly fond of men being so interested in me, since you’re so curious, I’ll give you a little hint."

Looking at the silent Epic Grand Mage in front of him, Herbert also felt quite a bit of emotion.

Upon initially finding out that the enemy was an Epic Strongman, and a core leader of the Witch Association, he was quite nervous internally, albeit not showing it openly.

Herbert was confident enough in himself, but still felt it might take a long time just to reach him, much less kill him for good.

So what happened?

How much time has passed?

Less than a year, and he was already in front of him, in such a domineering stance.

Not only could Finn not stand it, even Herbert himself found it a bit overboard.

Shaking his head and chuckling lightly for a while, Herbert collected his smile, quietly looking at Finn.

"We are enemies."

Without pretentiousness or feigning ignorance, he made a direct declaration to Finn.

"You don’t need to test, and I don’t need to conceal, we are simply enemies."

After hearing this statement, Finn, for some reason, felt a sense of relief, as if a weight had been lifted.

He remained silent for a moment, then slowly asked the too-young boy in front of him: "...How much do you really know?"

"Know how much? Does it matter?"

Herbert shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with inexplicable disdain, and said indifferently, "It doesn’t matter."

"Ever since you made a move against me, there has never been a possibility of reconciliation between us."

"As for what you’ve done behind the scenes, what goals you’ve pursued, who you’ve harmed, or what difficulties you have... None of that concerns me, nor do I care."
