Chapter 286: Envy
She was right, as soon as Mammon heard there was a party at a place of such wealth, his greedy hands couldn’t stop shaking.
He first appeared in the werewolf domain in disguise, he had possessed some poor bloke.
When Mammon arrived, the first thing he noticed was not the castle made of pure esper.
Nor the amount of Rei coins in the castle or the well built houses and the beautiful cars and jewellery all around.
He looked up and above the clouds sat something so attractive to him he couldn’t describe it.
" It’s not often I come across something so valuable." Mammon grinned and reached up.
" All things possession." He tried to take the wheel, it moved a little then stood still like nothing happened.
Mammon frowned them smiled greedily, failing to take the wheel just made him desire it even more.
" I’ll have that, it will be mine." He whispered to himself.
" Will you now?" He heard a lazy voice behind him. He turned and saw a handsome man yawning.
" I was told I’d find a troublesome fella here but I didn’t think it would be greed, lucky me."
The guy was so unenthusiastic even greed wondered what he was doing here. " I shouldn’t have chosen this police shit.
I thought it would be relaxed then you... could you just leave, I swear I’ll pretend I didn’t see you."
Greed stood frozen, this was more than he had expected, " You don’t want to fight me?" He asked.
" I’m tired and just want to go sleep dude, so please go." He yawned.
Greed laughed, " You’re an interesting fella, fine I’ll leave, but I’ll be back." He turned to go.
" Ah, dude, why did you say that? You’ll be back? Now I have to fight you because that sounds like a threat and nobody threatens the pack."
The last part lacked the sleepiness in his voice and sounded cold, even his eyes turned cold.
Before Greed could react, a silver glowing foot landed on his chin sending him flying into the sky.
Such a disturbance drew the attention of everybody around, the public panicked but when they saw Sam standing there they relaxed.
He was the leader of the police force and one of the strongest werewolf leaders in the pack.
Sam jumped, to those watching he simply disappeared and he appeared in the sky next to the greed.
Sam couldn’t fly, he didn’t have any flying abilities so he kicked the air so hard he could walk on it.
This was temporary and took a toll on his stamina but he planned to end this quickly, his foot turned into a blur.
Greed barely reacted and the kick landed on his face, he turned into a bolt abs flew hundreds of kilometres away.
Sam kicked the air and chased after him, another kick landed in Greed’s chest shattering it.
Yet instead of panicking he just grinned, his body crashed hundreds of kilometres away creating a massive crater.
Sam landed on the crater and picked up the corpse then frowned. " The smell is different."
He carried it back the castle, " This is just a body greed possessed, it’s not really him." Adrian burnt the body to crisp.
" Oh that makes sense, no wonder he was so weak."
----------------------------------------------
Greed appeared in a whore house where two women were chatting together, one with a plumb body.
The other dressed in a pink almost transparent dress, as soon as he showed up they smiled at him.
" Greetings brother,how nice to see you,what do you want this time?" Lust asked teasingly.
Greed grinned, " I believe you’ve heard, the little pup is throwing a party and you know what parties are do you not."
" A conglomeration of sin." Gluttony answered with a soft smile. Greed smiled and nodded.
" So many greedy people together, so many lustful and so many gluttonous, not to mention envious."
They all turned towards the door, it opened slowly and a woman with disheveled hair and dirty nails appeared.
" Your shoes sister, hehehe, I want them, give them to me, I want your shoes." The woman walked towards them with unsteady steps.
" Control your envy sister, you’re not getting my shoes." Envy continued looking at Lilith’s shoes.
" So, will you join me my sisters? To have some fun?"
They all looked at greed like he was crazy, the conversation continued between the sin siblings.
----------------------------------------
Eve knocked on Adrian’s door and came in. " Yeah, I felt another seal opening, I don’t know which it is though."
Adrian looked at her, " As long as it’s not Pestilence, I don’t care." The other seals didn’t bother Adrian much.
Pestilence like Famine would cause enough destruction to halt his progress which wasn’t something he appreciated.
However he had a way to deal with Pestilence left by Meggie, if it’s the others then it’s not much of an issue.
Eve looked at Annie who just shrugged, she shook her head and left their room. Annie looked at Adrian.
" The party is in four days and you still haven’t decided what you’re going to wear."
Adrian shrugged, " I’ll just wear whatever, it’s not like anybody will care what I wear."
" People will care, people will care a lot, you’re the king of the werewolves, how you present yourself matters."
" Really? Fine, I’ll look for something then, will you help?" She smiled excitedly when he asked.
Before he could say anything she dragged him by the arm and rushed to the nearest Tailor.
Their castle had a yard stretching for about 30 kilometres then the city started after the tall wall surrounding the castle.
The richest residents of the city lived nearest to the castle and the tailor they were going to live here as well.
Tailors actually, they were a couple and had a nice house nearby and they were from the Arachne race.
So they were very good with threads, as soon as Annie and Adrian showed up in their house.
The couple panicked, they had not expected such high class people to visit them, they awkwardly went on their knees.
It looked really awkward, Annie had to hold her giggling. " My lady, my lord, it’s a pleasure to...to see you."
Annie waved her hand, " You don’t have to kneel, we’re are the guests here, I need you to make a suit for this guy here."
