Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 674: Chasing Destiny
Chapter 674: Chasing Destiny
“Back again, thief! Seems you’re looking good today, huh?” The voice rang through the luxurious room as a portal appeared in the center and a figure dripped out of it.
A figure none other than Cody, the one who scammed Zeras, or at least thought he did.
Immediately the portal disappeared, Cody heaved a sigh of relief before turning to look at the figure sleeping on the luxurious sofa. A figure none other than an over-weighted black cat with a bored expression on its face.
“Hahahaha. Finally, the heavens have looked upon me in goodness today. I successfully scammed someone! He wanted a map, and I gave him a sheet of paper with your dumb shit written on it.
And he gave his clan’s supreme grade treasure. See, see, look at it!” Cody said as he brought out the large horn he had been given by Zeras.
“Isn’t it beautiful? A supreme grade treasure! Feast your eyes on it!” Cody said as the fat cat opened one of its eyes, looking at the horn before one of its nails stretched out, and then it gently touched it.
And right before Cody’s face, which rapidly paled, he witnessed how the horn, a supreme grade treasure, faded away into dust from a simple touch of the cat’s claws.
“MEOWHAHAHAMEOW!” The fat cat laughed out loud, its huge tummy jiggling as it pointed its hand at Cody mockingly, who clutched the remnants of the faded horn in his hand like it was his dying child.
“You, you ruined my supreme grade treasure!” he roared out as the cat snorted in disdain.
“The scammer got scammed. Which stupid supreme grade treasure? It’s a horn from a cosmic rank lesser devil.
You can’t sell this for sand in the world. It’s basically a hulk of a useless object. You got scammed big time.
You gave him free paper and free information which you could have sold for a good amount of something valuable if only you have some little bit of sense in your head. Ahhh, how idiotic…” the cat said as it took its nap, paying no respect to the powerful storm of hair that was blowing around the room.
“That! That bastard! Next time I see him, I’ll strangle him to death!” Cody roared in anger as a ring appeared in his hand and he flung it forward, causing another gigantic portal to appear mid-air, one which he quickly stepped into and disappeared.
“Ahhhh, the son of the greatest thief of the U’itra universe, getting scammed. Your son is a disappointment, Tu Feng!” The black cat said with an exasperated expression before swerving on its back and dozing off.

“Ahhhhhhh, do you think it might be an error of mine? Is what that boy said true?” Baltimore asked with a guilty expression as he downed the bottle of wine.
Both men had left the house and come to their little corner, where they spent the majority of their time.
“Oh, and what is that?” Fernand said to him, as Baltimore sighed.
“The talk of the undying will. Is it true that the more I stop Felice from going, the more stubborn she gets on the matter?” He asked as Fernand simply smiled.
“Your decision is not wrong, Fernand. After your brother’s death, you have remained a true husband for Lucille until her death and you have raised up Felicie well after their deaths.
She was nothing but a two-year-old baby, have you forgotten?”
“I remember all of it like yesterday,” Baltimore responded.
“But see her now, she’s grown into the finest young lady of our small village. Given everything and absolutely everything that she wants. You have denied her not of anything, Baltimore.
Nothing but something that had resulted in the death of her father. It’s completely fine to want to avoid the same fate for her.
There’s nothing really wrong with that. It shows you care even more…” Fernand said as Baltimore nodded.
“It is already draining a lot. Time for me to leave. Make sure you apologize and explain yourself to her before you go to sleep. See you around tomorrow, Baltimore…” Fernand said, tapping his friend hard on the shoulder before walking out of the hall.
Left alone at the table was none other than Baltimore, who sighed. “Maybe, I do owe her an apology. Let me fix this…” he mused to himself as he rose up and slowly made his way to Felicie’s room.
Walking up towards the stone steps, he arrived before the wooden door, his hand reaching to knock when suddenly it paused in shock as Baltimore’s eyes flashed in shock.
He immediately burst into the room, running to the room and opening it, only to find it hollow!
“What the! Felicie! Felicie!” Baltimore called out loud, wanting to exit the room, only for the corner of his eye to pick up a paper on the sofa.
“What is this?” he mused as he picked up the paper and read its content, his face flashing in disbelief as he read on, and soon it turned into absolute shock.
“Felicie! What have you done?!” Baltimore whispered, his hands sinking into his palms so much they drew blood from the tight clenching as his eyes flashed in a deep crimson color of anger and hopelessness…
The notes on the paper were very simple and easily understandable. Yet the one that mattered the most was the one that was written at the end of the note. One that angered Baltimore beyond anything else.
“I have gone in search of my family’s destiny, Uncle. And this time, I promise I will succeed!”
“FELICIE!!!!”

“Hmmm, that bastard. I wish I crossed paths with him once more. I’ll first naked him on the street, and then I’ll cut off his manhood and his right arm. Then tear out his left arm, then cut off his tongue and gouge out his eyes.
And then I’ll hang him on a cross for him to die!” He swore continuously, but soon his ears perked up as he turned to look to the side where a figure was walking out of the snow.
A figure with orange hair….
