Nate watched Alvin appear and knew his life was saved!
He shoved the slightly dazed Naberius away, rubbed his neck, and backed up a few steps. Then he grabbed Sophie, who was about to smash a cake into Alvin, and said helplessly, "Don't do anything reckless!"
Sophie glared furiously at Alvin, who was basking in the aura of Red Dead Redemption, and shouted, "You bastard...
You used us as bait!
And what did you put on my face?"
Alvin pinched the brim of his hat between two fingers and tipped it up slightly. He gave Sophie, whose expression had twisted with anger, a piercing look and said in a raspy voice, adopting the tone of a movie character, "You said they'd come looking for you, but I realized they might not be able to find you, so I gave them a little help.
The Devil isn't always smart. Sometimes it's just good at hiding...
If you're willing to risk your life to make a living, why not risk it for your job?"
Naberius looked at Alvin, who kept his face hidden beneath his hat, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you? A Demon Hunter? How did you find me? Who do you work for?"
Alvin didn't look up either. He said in a low voice, "I work for 'conscience.' I'm not a Demon Hunter, but hunting Demons makes me feel good, body and soul.
I love hearing Demons scream in despair. The sound makes my heart race..."
Naberius frowned at Alvin, who seemed like a lunatic. He went to the window and pulled open one of the battered blinds to peer outside. There wasn't a soul out there...
That surprised Naberius even more. He didn't recognize Alvin, and he hadn't expected the man to come after him alone.
