Hellbound With You novel Chapter 729

Chapter 729 - Desperation

Zeres looked around. His silver gaze swept through the piles of books all around them. If he added all the books from the first floor, it might take a long time for just the both of them to get through them. He did not have that much time to waste to just search for a single book.

"I am going to call some people over to help us look for that book. I need to find that book as soon as possible." He told her with urgency.

Iryz blinked and stared at him for a while.

"Do not worry, those people I’m calling are the good ones... they will not dare do anything else but look for the book. I will make sure they will handle your property with care." Zeres added and Iryz could only nod. She knew there was no way he would accept if she said no. Not that she was planning to reject him anyway, given how desperate he seemed in wanting to find that book.

She already felt that this man was truly serious about this thing he was looking for. She had seen the anger in his eyes a while ago and not just the anger... Iryz had also seen something else within those eyes of his and for some reason, despite what he showed a while ago, Iryz did not know why but feel that she wanted to help him. Was it all because she could sense utter desperation from him?

After she watched him make a phone call to a man he called Jude, twenty men arrived at the bookstore after a quarter of an hour. Iryz had just finished eating her breakfast in her small kitchen when everyone suddenly arrived.

Without wasting a moment longer, Zeres ordered everyone to start right after informing them to look for any book that contain anything about spells.

And after just an hour, they had already gathered a mountain of books. The first row of shelves almost got emptied as Zeres ordered them to take all books about spells down.

"It seems that all the books here contain something about spells though." Jude told Zeres. "Maybe it’s better if you tell us which particular kind of spell we should be looking for instead?"

Zeres listened to Jude’s suggestion and ordered everyone to look for a book that contains spells about life and death.

...

At Winterfalls University.

The first day of class was finally over. The students were now returning to their dorms.

Lilith, who now goes by the name of Luna Averis, was walking with her new friend and roommate Agnes, back to their dorms. Lilith had chosen the appearance of an average college girl. She did not bother to don on a look of a nerd as she knew that it would only gain unnecessary attention that she did not want. So, she tried to look very average instead, as she believed it was easier to blend if she did not try too hard and if she tries to look like everyone else.
