Investigating

I looked at the books that Carter brought, I took one of them and flipped through it. I shifted my gaze to Emma Eddie and said "Carter said you have some information regarding The Deceiver?"
Throughout the whole process, I didn't even make eye contact with Emma Eddie yey she felt a sense of pressure.
Not just her though, even Black Hawk. Somehow, Before Black Hawk's death, he was able to attach his life to the feather that he threw at Emma Eddie's hair earlier. With his super powers, he was able to turn human again. But he is still very weak, weaker than a common human, just lying, waiting for the predator
Black Hawk had almost lost his life during his battle against Carter and all he could do was cautiously observing the guy in control of Carter.
Black Hawk's power, his life and his sensitivity came from the fears he wielded. As long as the feathers still exist, he can't die. Wherever the feather is, the feather will acg like a mole and catch all information in that place.
Since he still had a feather left, although his eyes were partially closed, he could still feel and sense everything in the hideout.
Although he couldn't see me, he can still guess that I'm sitting like a god sitting on his throne
"Help, aaargh, hey man, come help us"
The agony of pain and scream sounded in Black Hawk's ear, he could feel tens of some beings before him all screaming for help. He couldn't see them but those beings smell like they are dead. He tried to throw his dead ear to the wails but everytime he tried that, he felt an unbearable pain all over his already weak body. The wails didn't stop and neither did he head in those wails and everytime he did, he'd feel this pain. The process repeated itself and he felt his will power getting weaker, he lost his will to survive and he fear he might die anytime
"No, I can't wait any longer"
Despite his curiosity about the information on The Deceiver, he valued his life even more.
I am surprised that there are still enough spirits of the dead to control Black Hawk but I guess they are still weak because of their encounter with the Divine Light. This gave Black Hawk the opportunity to still struggle and escape the waiks
While I concentrated on the special news that Emma Eddie brought me, Black Hawk silently moved away.
He was getting closer to the door, he in his feather state body allowed him to leave without even opening the door and without getting noticed. Just as he got out of the door, he turned to his human form, he tried to move but he felt an invisible energy drawing him back. He managed to turn back and opened his eyes, he saw a man. A man in scarlet figure, the man doesn't look alife. The man gave horns on his head and his teeths were very long and sharp.
"Save me"
The man screamed. Following the man's scream, lots of 'save me' screams follow. Those screams are of both gender and different ages, they are so loud that they started to hurt his ears.
Black Hawk was rooted to the ground, he was unable to move and his pain was unbearable.
"Will you save? Please"
He heard another scream in his head, his pain got more severe and he heard himself answer "Yes".
Instantly his pain went away, all screams stopped and he even felt better.
Black Hawk willingly went back inside the hideout and crawled to my feet, submitting himself before me.
"Take care of him, Carter" I waved to Carter
Because the Spirit of the Dead are in their weak state, Black Hawk was able to escape 'Loyalty' but when I activated 'Control', there was no way he could escape.
A loving Black Hawk was more useful than a dead one
Similar to Deathface, in this extraordinary syosset villain filled world, I don't mind gathering more subordinates to work for me. Hope the guild will accept them if I take them to the guild.
Afterall, extraordinary like Black Hawk who survived two deaths, that will be a great assistant to the guild and Devil'z Bane hunting squad.
Carter helped Black Hawk up and headed towards the room next door.
I shifted my gaze to Emma Eddie who is looking terrified, she doesn't understand how someone who is trying to escape just willingly came back and submitted himself. It is written on her face that she is afraid I might do what I did to black Hawk to her
"You know, all you said just now, I can find them l I'm here, I want something very exclusive" I said calmly
Yet the calmer I was, the more fesr Emma Eddie felt. She had watch me do incredible things, this has always been the calm look on my face
"Dammit, all I want to do is handke the pitch back there, where on earth will I get information about The Deceiver." She replied
"Uhmm, hold on a moment " Emma Eddie suddenly thought of something
"The Deceiver is a woman"
Emna Eddie said while under my gaze.
"A woman?" I was stunned
I didn't have any prejudice against a woman but when the Deceiver was mentioned as a cultivator, I unconsciously thought of him as a man
Of course, maybe I have a shallow education background that wouldn't allow me to know about any famous cultivator but I would deny that Emma Eddie did give me special news.
"Can you guarantee this isn't a lie?" I was trying to make sure for the last time
"I'm sure, I swear on my name and my honor, what I, Emma Eddie said is true! I mayie but I won't use my name and honor as guarantee!" Emma Eddie said in a slightly proud manner
"Ok then, based on the deal you have with Carter, you get a promise to crim him that is not too over the top. What do you want?"
I nodded first before asking on behalf of Carter
