Chapter 244 I Didn't Lie to Her

At first, Milo was very curious about how Glaki planned to bring her kin back to the Seven Valleys.

For this reason, Milo even conjured up a ridiculous image of Gladky carrying Sansa upstream in the canal all the way back to the Severn Valley.

To his slight surprise, after Gladky opened that terrifyingly large mouth, Sansa seemed to lose herself, smiling as she waded through the water, step by step walking towards that enormous mouth filled with hideous fangs.

……

"Wait a minute."

Milo quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab Sansa.

“I know you hate the enforcers, but it doesn’t matter. Many people hate the enforcers. Before you throw yourself into the arms of your god, take this with you. This is your faith, isn’t it?”

He handed the small altar he had taken from the abandoned monastery to Sansa.

At this moment, Milo's tone contained no hint of righteous indignation, only calmness, even gentleness.

He could see it clearly: Sansa was still alive, but her soul was on the verge of collapse. Everything she had was destroyed ten years ago, and the hope that had sustained her until today had shattered. She had lost all fighting spirit, and even her malice was gone.

"Everyone may see you as a criminal, but I know that you are not the real sinner; you were just born in the wrong place."

Milo whispered these words to Sansa.

He took Sansa's fingers and made her hold the small altar before slowly stepping back from the river to the shore.

Sansa, holding the altar, looked at Milo with a mixture of confusion and astonishment in her eyes.

In that instant, she felt like a child who had done something wrong. She was not afraid of any form of blame or punishment, but when faced with gentle words of comfort, an uncontrollable sense of grievance welled up from the depths of her heart.

A tear welled up in Sansa's eye.

But after wiping away that tear, she walked into her master's arms without looking back.

……

...

Under the watchful eyes of Milo and Dillah, Sansa's slender, tall figure was completely swallowed by the interlocking fangs. As the gaping maw closed, the woman's shadow could no longer be seen on the surface of the water.

No one knows whether she felt pain in the final moments of her life, but what is visible is that, at the end, this last member of the family did not show any fear or apprehension. What she saw in her eyes was relief and liberation.

Neither Milo nor Dirac could understand Glagi's act of swallowing his only kin, but the difference was that Milo wouldn't think about it.

He never truly regarded the personality or divinity of the Great Old Ones as a normal form of thought and will, so no matter what Gladge did to Sansa, he was neither surprised nor puzzled.

This guy is a monster, and it's not surprising what monsters do.

……

The enormous body of Geragi slowly sank into the water.

It will keep its promise and return to the Severn Valley along the canal.

"The crisis is finally over."

Looking at the calm water, Dirasha breathed a sigh of relief.

His expression was complicated, but when he turned his head, he saw that Milo next to him was unpacking the child's backpack he was carrying and taking out some strange things from it.

"What are you..."

BANG!!!!

……

Before Dillah could finish his question, a huge column of water exploded in the canal behind them.

The violent shockwave and the resulting waves and air currents overturned him, and the land along the riverbank crumbled!
The deafening roar made Dirac's eardrums ache.

He was soaked from head to toe by the river and rolled several times on the ground before he could finally regain his balance.

"What's going on!" He grabbed the ground for support.

They discovered that Milo had already reached the riverbank not far away, holding a huge metal lunchbox in his hand. He tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and then plunged headfirst into the canal water!
"What the hell!"

Dillah Shaw was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Just as Gladky disappeared with Sansa, he relaxed his guard slightly, and it was in that less than a second of letting his guard down that he was met with this shock.

An unexplained explosion in the water.

Dillah Shaw thought that Glagki had made a comeback.

But when he saw Milo plunge into the river, he immediately realized what was happening.

"This guy planned this all along."

He knew all along that an explosion would happen; to be precise, he caused the explosion.

He never intended to act in accordance with the negotiated agreement.

"I knew it!"

Dillah Shaw gritted his teeth in anger.

Being swept away by the shockwave so close to the explosion point, he felt as if his internal organs had been hammered. Blood kept gushing from his nostrils, and it was extremely difficult for him to stand up for a short time.

All he could do was stare viciously at Milo as he disappeared into the river, cursing the bastard over and over again.

……

As it turned out, Dillah's assessment of Milo was accurate.

He concluded that Milo was not the kind of person who followed the rules.

But he was still careless. When he saw Milo bring the living Sansa back to the outskirts of the city, he thought Milo had chosen to compromise. He didn't expect Milo to wait until the last moment to do something bad.

……

...

Even after Milo dragged his soaking wet body out of the canal, Dillah Shaw was still not recovered.

He slumped to the ground, glaring at Milo:

"The cooperation was fake, the tenderness he showed when he saw that woman off was fake, the keepsake he gave her was fake, it was all fucking fake!"

“To be precise, I returned that clan girl intact; I’m not a person who broke my promise,” Milo said, shrugging.

He stuffed the heavy metal lunchbox back into Finn's backpack, then wrung out his long overcoat to squeeze out some rainwater, flicked his sleeves, and prepared to head home.

Milo showed absolutely no remorse for the bad things he had done.

Just as he said, he returned Sansa to her intact, only slipping a small object into the altar before leaving.

He stuffed the bomb that his dear sister Emma had developed inside.

That's why Milo insisted on making a detour home.

……

“You’re just like those other clansmen, you’re insane, no, you’re even more insane than them.”

The portrait of Dila is like a deflated balloon, sitting on the ground with her head in her hands, looking helplessly at Milo:

“The pastor is right, you will be the source of all the trouble… You lied to everyone, including her.”

Milo never believed in such superstitious nonsense. He slung Finn's small, adorable backpack over his shoulder and glanced back at Dillah Shaw:
"There's at least one thing I didn't lie to her about."

“I don’t think she’s the culprit at all, not from the beginning. The ugly thing in the river is the real source of evil.”
