Aiwass had just thought to hurry to the door when she was suddenly held back by the shoulder by a person in black wearing an animal mask.
His actions were very violent, and the press on Aiwass's slender shoulder hurt a bit.
She keenly realized that if she continued to walk forward, she would likely be pushed down. So, she immediately stopped in her tracks.
"Should I kill him… my lovely master?"
The low voice of the Shadow Demon sounded in her ear.
—Don't rush, let's see what he intends to do first.
Despite the outward display of unease and panic, Aiwass replied to the Shadow Demon in her mind, impeccably calm.
The person in black took a chain from his bosom and skillfully hung it on the collar around Aiwass's neck.
Then, he led Aiwass out of the room. Shoving her from behind, he made Aiwass stumble forward while he followed, chain in hand.
