Black Fire?
Upon hearing the name of this thing, Gerald turned and ran without any hesitation or delay.
He knew all too well the extent of their power...
Because this batch of Black Fire was exactly what Gerald had sold to Viscount Barber.
As expected, the door was opened from the inside. A skinny teenager, holding a bucket of Black Fire in his right hand and a lit torch in his left, looked confused and frantic as he tried to rush out.
He had no idea how the other party had become aware of the problem.
Considering that Gerald had the ability to control minds, the wandering child had taken a large detour to avoid being noticed by anyone in the Viscount's estate, spending over half an hour to carefully make his way back to the door.
But he was still discovered!
"Wait, don't run—"
But as soon as the child opened the door,
The mind-controlled guard did not hesitate, taking aim at the bucket of Black Fire in the child's hand, and fired a shot!
