My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 615: Helping or scheming

"Is he finally back?" The man stood up, hearing the approaching footsteps.

The woman also raised her head, but she found it somewhat strange.

She knew that man. If he was coming back, then he would have been loud and obnoxious, flexing about his achievements before he even arrived. Why was he silently arriving? Even more strange was the fact that the footsteps felt heavier than her footsteps.

Soon, the person that had arrived, came into sight. The person they were waiting for was there. But he wasn't walking on his own two feet.

Instead, his lifeless body was being carried by someone else. The scene made their expressions darken.

"Just great!" The chubby man tossed his hand in the air in frustration.

The young man was almost completely stripped of everything that he held, including the watch. They couldn't even see the portal stone in his hand that they were here to take.

"Were you looking for him?" Eren asked. "Don't worry. He is still alive."

He tossed the boy towards the woman who looked like she was ready to kill him at a moment's notice.

The woman reacted fast, and quickly caught the boy. When she checked him, she finally sighed in relief as she verified that he was indeed alive.

At the moment, she was so relieved at the fact that the boy was alive, she didn't find anything strange about the fact that Eren was returning home alive to them.

"You should really leave this place. I have already informed the Primordials. Within a few seconds, they would get here," Eren told the chubby man, who looked the most suspicious out of the two as he didn't care about the boy's life.

"Give the portal stone. That's the only way we can return home!" The chubby boy reached out his hand, almost certain that Eren had taken it.

He didn't care about the reason that Eren was returning that boy alive. He thought that maybe it was because he found out about their identity, which was for the better as he could just ask the portal stone back.

"We both know that you don't need that portal stone to be able to return," Eren replied. "I have already shown a lot of goodwill by returning him alive. If you don't want to leave, then we can wait here until the Primordials arrive. Then I can't guarantee if any of you will survive."

"You do realize that a few seconds are more than enough for me to kill you, right?" The chubby man asked, his gaze narrowing.

"Your friend tried. You can also try. But if you can't finish it in a few seconds, then it will be your loss." Eren didn't show any fear on his face. He simply shrugged innocently, as if he didn't have anything to lose in either case.

Just as he finished speaking, a loud sound came from the distant cavern, as if rocks were falling with someone's arrival.

"We are leaving! We don't have time for this!!" The woman was the first to react, as she heard the sound. She had already used her treasure once. If the Primordials arrived, then they really couldn't stop them.

When the chubby man didn't seem to react to his words, she grabbed his hand, and pulled him back to the altar. "Failing is better than dying here!"

She knew that if one of them had returned in such a broken state after facing that man, then they couldn't really defeat him in a few seconds. It was only bad for them.

"I will remember you." The chubby man said, watching Eren's smug as he activated the altar, with the sound of destruction getting closer.

"I hope you do." Eren waved his hand, watching the altar light up. Right before his eyes, the figure of the two guests from the upper world disappeared, as they returned to their world.

Eren brought out the portal stone, and tossed it in the air before catching it. "They really thought I would invite the Primordials to take it from me after putting in so much hard work. Fools..."

He tossed the upper-world portal stone into his storage space before looking back at the cave that led to this hall. From the cave, a blood clone emerged, carrying a heavy stone that it tossed onto the ground, creating a similarly loud noise.

"Good work." Eren reached out his hand, and the blood clone condensed into a small drop of blood, flying straight toward him before merging with him.

He retrieved a few explosives from his inventory and started placing them all around the area as he left, moving back the way he came.

He covered the entire place that might hold any trace of him with explosives from the Necromancer Tower, to erase his presence completely.

"I wonder if they will ever find out that their friend has been long dead," Eren mumbled as he reached the end of the cave, at the secret opening.

"It would be so much better if they didn't. It would hurt really badly if they found out and destroyed the small soul fragment of mine meant to control it. And losing such a useful pawn would hurt even more."

He stepped out of the cave, turning into a shadow, and carefully moved away.

Once he was far enough from the cave and the entrance, the explosions detonated, shaking the entire city and catching the attention of the guards, as well as the Primordials, who flew straight toward the site of the explosion.

With everyone distracted, Eren increased his speed to return to the Auction House where his clone was waiting.

Eren quickly returned to the auction house entrance, but just as he was about to pass through, he saw someone's feet before him.

"Are you going somewhere, my dear son-in-law?" A voice came that almost made him curse out loud.

"Lord Lysander," Eren said, emerging from the shadow and raising his head to look at the tall figure of the First Primordial, who seemed to be the only person who didn't chase after the explosion. "
