Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 568

Ring—

The bell above the glass door chimed, and a young waitress immediately rushed over with a bright smile.

"Welcome. Are you Miss Lexton?"

Vivienne nodded. Before she could speak, the waitress pointed toward the only occupied table in the entire shop. "Your party has been waiting for you for quite a while."

Following the girl's finger, Vivienne's eyes went wide. She stared in absolute disbelief.

Alaric?

She marched over, glancing around the empty room. "What are you doing here? And... are you drinking instant coffee out of a paper packet?"

Alaric's hand paused slightly before he set his cup down with flawless elegance. "Why can't I be here? Weren't you the one who demanded I keep an eye on you?"

"...When did I ever... Is that really what you thought I meant?"

The more she thought about it, the weirder the situation felt. She narrowed her eyes at the young man across from her. "Where is Julianne?"

Alaric gave her a casual glance. "She couldn't make it."

The sheer amount of horrifying implications packed into those four words left Vivienne reeling. She suddenly realized she knew absolutely nothing about how Alaric operated.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing much," he replied smoothly. "Just offered a mild warning."

In a dark, secluded alley, Wesley Crain slowly peeled off a pair of blood-soaked leather gloves. At his feet lay over a dozen men, groaning in agony.

Titus was on his knees in a puddle of muddy, blood-stained water, trembling violently, his eyes wide with stark terror.

Moments later, the heavy thud of combat boots echoed from the entrance of the alley. A squad of men in sharp black suits marched in.

"Help. Help me."

A sudden burst of desperate hope flared in Titus's eyes. He scrambled toward the men, clawing at the pavement. "I pay tribute every year. I beg for the Chapter Master's protection."

The Shadow Chamber had twelve chapters spread across Stormhollow, each governing a specific district. Local thugs usually paid heavy protection fees to ensure they wouldn't be wiped out. In areas controlled by The Shadow Chamber, unsanctioned gang warfare was strictly forbidden.
