Chapter 206 - Ive been waiting for you for a long time Ina
Chapter 206: I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, Ina Chapter 206: I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, Ina Yong Xin was awakened from his sleep.
Although he needed very little sleep since acquiring his body, it did not mean he could do without rest entirely.
Especially in recent times, due to the mysterious “Domination” disturbance, his body had already become less stable than before, and those several uncontrollable incidents had drained too much of his energy, forcing him to spend more time resting.
Then, he was awakened by that piercing screech.
It was as though an invisible hand had suddenly seized his heart, propelling him to bolt upright in bed, clutching his chest tightly, his eyes filled with shock.
For he knew very well, that screech was not one any species of the Mortal World could produce.
Without a doubt, it was a divine voice.
It was… Lyra!
But why?
Why would he hear Lyra’s voice?
Yong Xin’s grip on his chest tightened bit by bit, a terrible thought surged to his mind, setting his pupils trembling uncontrollably.
Could it be that it had awakened?
But how could that be possible?!
How many years had it been sleeping? Why would it awaken now?!
Yong Xin immediately pulled open the drawer of the bedside table. Inside the drawer lay the tentacle, which was far from stable; it was currently twisted into an eerie shape, like a wrung-out rag.
But it was not a real rag, these movements continually made the tentacle emit a “creak creak” sound, and the not-smooth surface began rapidly sprouting cracks, as if it would completely shatter before long.
Sure enough,
Yong Xin’s eyes narrowed slightly.
There was trouble from that side.
And at that moment, the door was knocked on urgently.
Yong Xin took one last look at the struggling tentacle before closing the drawer, calming his emotions as much as possible, and said calmly, “Come in.”
The servant immediately entered, his face full of urgency, “Lord Yong Xin, there’s been an incident!”
“Don’t panic,” Yong Xin said, “Take your time.”
Afterwards, the subordinate reported all the things that had happened that morning to Yong Xin.
After listening, Yong Xin did not speak immediately but looked at his pocket watch first.
The pocket watch showed that he had slept less than three hours, just after meeting with Ina, nearly at dawn.
Just three hours.
Gerard had managed to do so much.

Although he was still striving to keep calm, Yong Xin couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
The subordinate flinched, then stuttered, “I thought you were resting.”
“I was resting,” Yong Xin gazed at his subordinate, that overwhelming pressure making the servant almost unable to breathe, “So you didn’t think to wake me? Is it in your eyes that Lyra’s destruction is less important than my rest?”
The subordinate wanted to say that this was what his predecessor had told him, to try not to disturb Lord Yong Xin while he was resting.
This was the “Rule” taught by his superior, so he hesitated previously.
And it was this hesitation that led to a bigger event.
Under the inexplicable oppression, the subordinate did not dare to retort and could only bow his head deeply, apologizing profusely.
As for Yong Xin, he rubbed his temples with a slight fatigue, as if somewhat helpless.
The point of helplessness was that he felt the abilities of his subordinates were getting poorer and poorer.
From the very beginning with Ocot to later with Terrell, these two assistants who had been with him the longest and were the most capable, were both killed by Gerard, one after the other.
Then there was Zamon, Terrell’s apprentice, who was much less capable compared to Terrell, and on that night, he even turned into an informant, leading the Bone Knight called Kude to his presence.
But such a person was also killed by Gerard—and it was a case of mistaken identity.
This posed a problem for Yong Xin—no one useful to employ.
It was somewhat absurd to say it, but it was the truth.
The New Chaser Association had indeed developed and expanded, but it remained an organization that could not emerge into the open as long as Lyra’s Rule was still unbroken, and due to his identity, Yong Xin was the most core figure who could not expose himself. So over the years, whatever he wanted to do, it had always been through Terrell and Ocot, who under Yong Xin’s influence, could do some things against the Rule.
But now, both of them were gone, even their disciples were gone, and all that was left to aid Yong Xin was a “Rule Sticker” who didn’t even know whether to wake him up for such a major incident.
This made Yong Xin feel like laughing.
He had not expected his “foster father” to bring him trouble in such a way.
“Lord… Lord Yong Xin?” the subordinate, seeing Yong Xin had been silent for a long time, couldn’t help but worry, “Is this…”
“It’s nothing,” Yong Xin interrupted the subordinate calmly, “I already know.”
Putting aside the frustration with the subordinate.
And the reality of the situation… it was indeed surprising that Gerard could actually find that place.
But things clearly had not developed to the worst case scenario.
The Lyra God apparently had not awakened.
Otherwise, their reaction would not have been so mild.
“Has the Skeleton Corps gone over?” Although he didn’t have much hope, Yong Xin still asked, “Did they capture Gerard?”
“No, no,” the subordinate shook his head, answering nervously, “The Tenth Squad of the Skeleton Corps did indeed arrive first, but the intercept failed. Like the Twelfth Squad, all were wiped out.”
