All Chapters of Lex Talionis Of An Exiled Earl: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"So you're planning to imprison this woman here?" Kit asked in disbelief when they reached his condominium. He pointed to the woman who was lying on his bed. Keyller shook his head. "Imprison is not the right term, Marzonia. I just brought her here temporarily while I'm confused about what to do with her." "Why would you of all people, Hayes? You can just leave her in a safe place if you're really worried." "I know. But..." Keyller heaved a deep sigh. Didn't know how to explain to Kit. "But your conscience wouldn't let you leave her anywhere, is that it? Does this young lady awaken your protective instinct?" Kit asked directly. His eyebrows lifted while staring intently at Keyller's face. Keyller just shrugged his shoulders. He didn't want to admit anything to Kit. He was confused about what he was doing. Besides, the woman was already there, lying in his bed and he just couldn't throw her out. It's too late to do that. His condo unit only had one bedroom because he was not expe

Keyller was awakened by a soft rustling from upstairs. He could hear the door opening and closing softly but his eyes remained closed while observing the subtle movements. He has sharp hearing and situational awareness even when asleep, which has developed over the past years since becoming a murderer.Keyller knew it was Lot 520, and he didn't know what this woman would do. It is impossible for her to escape because the door could only be unlocked with his fingerprints. He was confident that she would not leave. His eyes remained closed as he silently observed.The soft footsteps traveled down the staircase. It was slow and steady. He was amazed that even in the dark and in an unfamiliar place, Lot 520 didn't trip and fall. When she finally reached down, Keyller opened his eyes, and within the dim surroundings that were only illuminated by the faint light from the moon that shone through the window, he followed that dark silhouette as it moved towards a certain spot in his condo, the

The night was cold and light drops of rain slowly pattered as Keyller jogged his way to a hidden mansion that his target was staying in. Letting his hair loose, he put on his cap while checking his watch for the time. It was three in the morning. The mushroom will grow soon. A good time to attack that pervert. His black clothing blended into the night. Keyller slowly approached and his footsteps lightened as he reached the guard post, where a lone guard was standing, his eyes drooping in tiredness. It looks like the target has no idea that Trace has already found out about his whereabouts and that someone will come and end his life. "Let's see where you can run to, Stanford! Doom is coming to you no matter where you go. Traitor of Foedus is equivalent to living your life in hell!" There was only light inside the post and it illuminated the guard's face and he looked relaxed. But Keyller didn't lower his guard as he reached for his sword and softly unsheathed it. Keyller suddenly

The dawn was slowly approaching when Keyller stepped out of the car from Stanford's mansion. The rain had finally stopped and a cold early breeze welcomed him as he stood outside a 24-hour supermarket he saw. There was an ATM machine outside and he decided to draw cash, his salary from Trace. After dealing with Stanford, Keyller leaves the mansion with a getaway car, courtesy of Stanford. The motorcycle that he borrowed when he went to the mansion has long been discarded somewhere. After withdrawing cash, Keyller went inside the supermarket. He was still wearing his bloody clothes and people kept looking at him. He looked filthy and scary not because of his bearded face, but because the smell of blood stenched the noses of other shoppers. People were afraid of him. Some even tried to call the police, but Keyller just gave them a fierce look before they hid their phones away. He was thankful that it was not that crowded. He didn't bother taking Stanford's clothes because he found them

It had been a month since Lot 520 was staying in Keyller's condo and Keyller had already spent a lot of money. He even bought a new phone and gave it to Lot 520 to use for Tagalog translation so that she could speak with him and, of course, they could contact each other if Keyller was out. The idea of buying a new phone was suggested by Kit. At first, he was against it, but the longer he used that smartphone, he realized that it was giving him a lot of convenience. And most of all, he was free to check on Lot 520 anytime through the CCTV camera installed in his condo. Keyller had just come back from Italy after Morelli summoned him for a mission. Not wasting time in another country, he went straight to the Philippines to ensure that Lot 520 was still there. He asked Montejo and Hanabi to take care of the woman while he was away. Fortunately, the two have a mission near his condo. Montejo and Hanabi were people he knew when he was just starting in Foedus. He meets them on one of his m
