Becoming a God Starts with Acting

Chapter 513: [Crimson Inheritance] (32) - Nine: [...we are a lawful organization]

Daniel held his breath, stammering as he was about to explain, but then he saw the butler’s expression suddenly soften when he looked at his stomach.The butler smiled and said gently yet sincerely: "So you’re pregnant? It’s fine. Pregnant men always have unstable emotions."

He narrowed his eyes, as if granting mercy, and said: "But only this time. If there’s a next time, even if you are pregnant, you will still have to receive proper punishment."

After saying that, he immediately turned and walked up the stairs without any hesitation. Clearly, he had rushed here because of Daniel’s scream; it was hard to imagine just how much the master of this castle hated noise.

Daniel froze completely, feeling it becoming hard to breathe. He subconsciously retorted: "No, I’m not pregnant..."

Daniel wanted to shout toward the butler’s back, but remembering his earlier words, he didn’t dare. He was afraid he would die even faster.

So he instinctively turned to Silvanus, who was the closest to him.

His hands tightly gripped both of Silvanus’s arms, his eyes wide as he stared at Silvanus, stubbornly seeking the answer he wanted: "I’m not pregnant... I’m normal, I just ate a bit too much, right... right?!"

His hands were even covered in grease and juice from the roasted suckling pig.

Silvanus frowned slightly in silence. On the surface, however, he looked as if he was startled by Daniel’s unstable mental state.

He pressed his lips together, but before he could say anything, Nick had already stepped forward and pulled the two of them apart.

He stood in front of Silvanus, frowning at Daniel: "Don’t drag him into this. He can’t help you either."

Daniel became unreasonable again, just like in the morning: "Why didn’t you stop me?! Why?! Just because we don’t want to follow that NPC’s orders? We’re on the same side, you know that..."

Nick sneered at Daniel, but inside he was already furious. Every time Daniel or Jax mentioned Silvanus as just an NPC, he couldn’t help but want to punch both of them.

He said coldly: "At least it’s better than a dying man like you."

[Oh my god, is this really Nick that I know?]

[As expected, you guys can mess with me, but you can’t touch Silvanus. He’s definitely that type of person!]

[But he’s not wrong though. Look at Daniel’s pig liver-colored face lol]

[Didn’t expect the one who looks like he’ll go the furthest to be the one about to die first]

There were also viewers who were seriously discussing the dungeon.

[Did no one notice what the butler said? Did he mean Daniel and Jax are pregnant? But they’re both male, right?]

[Who’s saying that? Male so what? This is a dungeon lol, what the hell can’t happen here?]

[Based on what we’ve seen in Silvanus’s diary, the deaths of those two are definitely Daisy’s revenge. After all, Daisy died while her child was being born.]

[So creepy. I said it before, Daisy doesn’t feel like a newbie dungeon boss at all. Entering this place is just bad luck for them.]

Daniel was clearly provoked into anger by Nick’s words, his face turning pale.

He pointed at Nick, just about to do something when he suddenly felt his stomach cramp again. In an instant, almost all the blood drained from his face. Whether it was because of the butler’s words or not, Nick this time seemed to truly feel something violently moving inside his abdomen, kicking and thrashing.

Impossible, impossible. He was a man—at least his gender was wrong. It must just be because he was too scared.

Daniel forced himself to calm down. He instinctively took a deep breath, though it did nothing to stop his shaky, painful breathing.

By now, he no longer had the mind to argue with Nick. His body was screaming for rest. After eating his fill, he even felt his eyelids constantly drooping, so sleepy it felt like they were about to stick together.

As for Jax on the side, watching him, he almost fell asleep while still eating. After his head drooped, he quickly straightened up, one hand holding his stomach and the other supporting his back, then staggered back to his room.

Compared to Daniel, who was sinking into psychological panic, Jax didn’t seem to feel anything unusual at all.

Elya looked at Daniel and Jax’s retreating backs and chuckled: "Don’t bother with them. Whether they survive tonight is another matter."

Nick agreed with Elya this time.

Meanwhile, Silvanus stood to the side with a worried expression. He looked at his own palm and said softly: "Is there really no way to save them?"

Elya only smiled without answering, still finding it strange that her mission was to kill someone like Silvanus. Perhaps even without her intervention, Silvanus would eventually die in this harsh world anyway.

Nick and the viewers also felt that Silvanus was once again fully immersed in his role-play.

Only Silvanus himself knew what he was truly thinking about.

The so-called Happy TV Network—this form of entertainment built on fear and bloodshed—should never have existed in the first place.

As if hearing his thoughts, Nine suddenly "woke up":

[If you become stronger, you can gain the admiration of countless people and live like an emperor. Or you can choose the chance to be reborn. If you become even stronger, you can even challenge God. If you succeed, you will become the supreme existence no one dares to look down upon, looking down on everything...]

[If?] Silvanus couldn’t help but let out a faint laugh—whether it was irony or anger was unclear; his emotions were hard to read.

[Was I killed by a creature that never even existed? That thing belongs to the Happy TV Network, right?]

This time, Nine did not respond.

Silvanus continued slowly:

[Accepting fate is not always that difficult. But if this fate is forced upon me by others, I will never obediently comply.]

Nine: [It is rather one-sided of you to assume that your death and the deaths of other artists were caused by the Happy TV Network. We would like to remind you that we are a lawful organization...]

Silvanus: "..."

He even lost the desire to argue with Nine. Was this thing seriously preaching about legality in a place where someone could be killed in an instant?

Silvanus pulled himself out of his thoughts. He looked away from his palm, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he met Neo’s emerald-green gaze. Under the light, it carried an oddly melancholic feeling. For a moment, Silvanus even felt as if he was looking at himself.

He couldn’t help but slightly frown. But before he could think further, Neo blinked, and his gaze returned to a kind of curiosity and dependence as he stared at Silvanus, as if the strange feeling Silvanus had just experienced was nothing more than his own illusion.
