Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 30 The Culprit



~Druh-Druh-Druh~

The lights flickered, and Sota's entire body froze

Help...

He placed his trembling hands over his mouth and kept his eyes slightly shut in prayer.

He didn't know who he was praying to, but his first reflex was to pray.

Suddenly, the estate dogs began barking like crazy, as if possessed.

~Whoof! Whoof! Whoof!

The guards outside didn't understand what was going on as the dogs began barking and trying to get out of their chains.

They even tried biting the guards and calling their attention immediately.

The Ghu Family dogs were in panic.

"What's wrong with them?"

Butler Windock's eyes turned cold: "It's an enemy. An enemy has entered the estate. Quickly! Get security to check through the surveillance cameras! I'll go check up on the Young Master!"

"Good!"

With that, Windock, who was within a faraway corner of the estate, dashed through the fields as fast as he could while holding a Walkie Talkie in his hands.

Unlike other main butlers, Windock was also the head of security in charge of all men under Master Ghu Dwo.

He was indeed an amazing butler... but he was also proficient in hacking, assassinating and countless other things.

Thus, he was the one calling the shots.

He had been out doing his final rounds, checking that every place around the estate was safe and tightly locked.

It was then that he passed by the dog pins and found them barking at the top of their lungs.

Windock wasted no time in leaping through the massive estate like a killer who had locked onto his target.

Maybe this was the enemy that Young Master Sota feared.

But who was it?

What assassin or killer dared to enter their noble Ghu Family?

Dammit! He was careless!

Butler Windock quickly alerted a few guards in the main building to check up on the Young Master and wait for his arrival.

Whoever it was, better be ready to feel his wrath!

'Young Master, help is on the way.'

.

Meanwhile, as everyone was now on the move around the estate, Sota who was clueless about it all, was further sinking into what he thought was hell second by second.

In a heartbeat, the air in his room became overly chilly, spreading its cold claws deep into his body.

And even with his eyes closed, he could tell that the cold breath he was releasing was now misty and foggy.

The hands shook with uncontrollable tremors as a rare wave of panic thundered within him.

And soon, his heart sank deeper.

~Click.

What was that?

Sota's hand pressed hard against his mouth in horror.

~Click.

There it was again!

As if undergoing torture, Sota vigorously tried to stop his clamouring teeth hoping not to draw attention to himself.

~Click.

What was that?

What was that?

Sota thought long and hard before realizing where he heard those sounds before.

Shouldn't that be the sound of the bolts on his windows?

~Click.

The last bolt came undone, and Sota's entire jaw tensed up.

~Shiuuuu~~~

The window had risen and fallen ever so gently as if fearing to be damaged.

Its slow opening and closing only made Sota want to have a heart attack.

Mommy...

Sota's body went cold!

But It turned even icier when he heard the sounds of strange sounds heading his way.

.

~Kosh..... Kosh..... Kosh.....~

The light but eerie sounds slowly inched their way closer, like footsteps, taking one time at a time leisurely.

And as the sounds free louder, the sounds of his dressers creaking, as well as other unexplainable sounds, echoed throughout his mind as if reminding him of his impending doom.

Soon, the footsteps stopped right before his bed, and he felt something leaning closer and closer to him.

F***!

Sota tightened his eyes so much that if it were possible, they would've already been swallowed and forced into his body.

His belly fluttered in fear as sweat quickly filled his clammy hands.

'It's not real. It's not real. It's just a bad dream. It's nothing more than a bad dream...' Sota murmured nonstop, trying to convince himself that it would all go away after waking up from his dream.

And surprisingly, it seemed to be the case.

Because in the next moment, the flickered lights returned to normal, and the screeching sounds within the room stopped.

Sota still kept his eyes shut for 2 whole minutes but didn't hear anything or felt any threat at all.

And surprisingly, the dogs seemed to stop barking as well.

He opened his eyes and was met with no threats at all.

Eh?

Could...  Could it be that he had been having waking nightmares?

Was it more of a bad dream?

Sota was now confused.

And suddenly, he heard the voices of the guards outside his door.

"Young Master, please open up!

We suspect that an enemy might be nearby. So open up, or we will storm in!"

Hm?

Sota heard this and was taken aback.

Well, that would explain why the dogs were barking like that earlier on.

Well, science had explained and proven that such things and imaginations were possible when having waking nightmares with patients screaming and pawing around.

So, Sota was a little more convinced that it was just a bad waking dream.

However, in the next second, the lights flickered again, returning the room to darkness.

~Druh-Druh~

Sota froze.

But it wasn't the flickering lights that had made him stop.

It was what he saw!

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!~~~~~"

.

Windock, who had just arrived, heard Sota's screams and anxiously pushed his way forward.

"What the hell are you all waiting for?

Break it down now!"

~Bam! Bam! Bam! Boom!

"Young Master! Young Master! Young Master!"

Windock and the test vigilantly entered the room only to see Sota on the floor with his knees up to his chest while trembling in horror.

The light in his eyes seemed to have disappeared, as he looked like a lifeless puppet at this moment.

Windock saw this and only felt rage.

Sota was like family to him, as he had practically been with the young master since the child turned 6.

So who was it?

He held Sota and smashed the floor with his fists hard.

~Boom!

Alright. Someone wanted to bring out the beast in him.

And he didn't mind letting them see it.

Dare to come into his territory; then he would like to see who would have the last laugh!

The men searched the place non-stop while Windock calmly placed Sota on the bed.

He wanted to leave, but Sota gripped him hard in fear before finally falling to sleep.

But his last words were what piqued Windock's interest.

"D-D-Dorian Tian... Dorian Tian... D-Dorian... Tian."

Him again?

Hahahahhahaha.

Good. Good. Good.

How bold!

Windock's murderous aura flowed out before turning to his top men and women beside him.

"The Master and Madam are returning early this morning.

So for now, we prepare for their arrival, as well as check surveillance footage and everything else.

But whether we have proof or not, I don't care.

That runt is involved somehow.

That's why after the Master arrives, all forces will move in towards the Tian estate.

I don't care what methods you use, but Dorian Tian must be brought in without failure.

The brat must pay!"
