Nero, The Legendary Hunter

"I'll be right back," Elsa told them.

She pretended to go to the bathroom, so she used a concealment skill and went to eavesdrop on the conversation of the man who was contacting someone.

It was the same man who earlier tried to use obedience powder on Choko and Nero.

"Miss, it is like this." With a talisman of communication, he spoke in a low tone: "These girls are harder to deal with than we thought. Also, if there's a woman with a scary aura around, it's going to be hard to get anything done overtly. And it seems difficult to separate them from the group..."

"You… You are all worthless! I didn't pay a large sum of coin essence? Now you're telling me you're not capable of kidnapping two simple little girls? Ha, that's laughable, and to think they brag about their services so much in the end, is that all?"

The man was furious to hear this, it is certain that they did it, but they were not warned that there would be someone so powerful next to the two girls. "Tsk, don't be unreasonable, you're to blame here, I'm already being kind for not holding you responsible for almost getting my brothers and I to death. Damn, this girl next to them is so scary that when she looked at me I almost peed my pants.

Listen up, don't try to go overboard and blame us for it, if it happens, believe it or not, we'll go after your head!"

In anger, he tore off the communication talisman.

After that, he gave a strange scream.

Soon his allies left.

"Who is she?" Before he was able to walk away, Elsa appeared in front of him.

Startled, the man nearly fell on his ass to the ground.

When he realized who it was. Sweat dripped all over his body, he felt a strong chill, and he felt that he was in Hades' portal, if he didn't answer what she wanted, he was sure he would be dead meat.

Seeing the silent man, Elsa grew even colder.

"Nearly get you killed..." Elsa said coldly, "That's a funny way of thinking if you think you can get away with it if you don't tell me what I want to know."

"..." Although he was very afraid, the man clearly did not want to betray his client. He forced himself to remain silent in front of Elsa.

"Don't you want to talk? Okay." Elsa said cold and indifferent. It was as if she didn't really care if he spoke or not.

In the next second, a vortex formed and began to swirl around Elsa.

Suddenly, the man who had previously tried to remain calm began to turn red as panic spread across his face. How much he tried to suck in air. He found it impossible. He even got to the point where he put his finger in his nose, but it wasn't clogged, even with his mouth, he couldn't breathe...

"I..."

It was just a word, soon after, he found he couldn't speak anymore either and his face got even redder. In a matter of seconds, he looked like Hellboy he was so red.

Because of the lack of air, the man was desperate, it even seemed that the oxygen he had in his lungs was sucked out. Looking at Elsa, seeing how indifferent she was, it was easy for him to figure out why he was so.

Elsa, who was silent, asked indifferently, "Are you willing to speak now?"

"Ahhh!"

As soon as he heard that, the air returned, and he was able to breathe, like a thirsty person, he breathed with gusto. He finally felt the pleasure of being able to breathe again after he was deprived.

"I, me..."

"Hmph!"

Elsa snorted in disdain to see that he still didn't look quite so willing.

Before the man could do anything, he found he had run out of oxygen again.

The man then wanted to look in the direction of his companions in hopes of asking for help...

'This...!' His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He saw his allies faint.

'Ended! It's just over!'

It was obvious that his companions had been deprived of breath longer than he had, to the point of passing out from lack of oxygen.

Some minutes later...

"Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahh..."

For an instant, he thought he was going to die. Going minutes without oxygen was complete torture. It was desperate, it even made him think about suicide, but he couldn't even find the strength to bite his own tongue. He didn't know exactly what this crazy woman had done, but he was certain that the moment he fell into her hands, he was under her control.

"I, I will… I will speak!" he yelled at the end. He was desperate, he feared that if he didn't speak quickly, she would starve her oxygen again.

"To speak!" Elsa's tone was lazy and authoritative at the same time.

The man was already beyond fear. He has nearly passed out several times while being deprived of oxygen. He didn't even want to think if this crazy woman thought of doing something even more cruel...

"I don't know her name, but I know what she looks like." The man said slowly cautiously, almost as if he was forcing his mind to remember the exact appearance of the girl who had hired him: "Dark hair and blue eyes, she looked listless, indifferent, almost lifeless in her eyes."

"Honestly, although she was beautiful, slender and a little over 170 cm tall, she smelled strongly of sex, for a moment I even thought she was from a pleasure house. Also, whoever spoke to me was not the same person, it was once again cold and arrogant, like the voice of a lady from a wealthy family. I believe the girl who personally traded with us was just a lackey of the one behind it."

Elsa could tell he hadn't lied. She looked thoughtful… But no matter how hard she tried to remember, she couldn't imagine anyone fitting the man's descriptions.

But then she frowned. The description of the man made no sense to her. As far as she could remember, her sister hated girls who sold their bodies. She repudiated it several times, even created a scandal when they tried to create a pleasant house on the island...

'Isn't it Eliane?' Elsa's doubt deepened.
