The deadly weapons pierced through Hisoka’s body. Everyone's weapon could be seen around Hisoka's body mercilessly while he could only stand there, unable to do anything. A dagger held by Aidan pierced through his heart, some bullets flew through his stomach and a few unidentical weapons lodged inside his body. “Hah~” Ibrahim fell to his knees with shaking eyes. “What did we just…” Salahuddin gasped, traumatized. “I think…” Siti wanted to deny reality. Aidan nearly fainted. “Brother…” Weirdly, Hisoka stood there, looking at his wounded body. “Hisoka honey?” Aulia took the courage to take a single step. But, he smiled amusingly. “You guys do have massive balls. I commend your actions.” He applauded as if it was nothing. “That… that… your heart…” Aidan’s chest rose and fell crazily with shortened breath. His eyes felt like seeing a tenth of Hisoka. “Am I dreaming?” “Are you the spawn of Satan?” Ibrahim grabbed Aulia’s hand from stepping closer. “Sheesh. Spawn of satan. How w
But, this was only their second time facing these troublemakers. The first time was years ago. Right before Hisoka’s death. Or, during their first independence.And nothing prepared them more than that time. Their independence day wasn’t just mere folklore. They manifested it into existence and the result was apparent. And the Underworld developed into what was going on at the moment.“What are you trying to propose, wearing a full set of your formal attire, son, daughter?” Ibrahim drummed his fingers on his cheeks.The appearance was important for Shadow. Thinking about what she was going to say the next moment, it would actually be good to look convincing.However, it was not significant to her, because her real value wasn’t in her cute looks. It’s what’s inside her head. She showed her palm to Hisoka, and Hisoka grabbed it and clasped it together. Their actions were so cute as brother and sister.Not as a plotter and her accomplice. “My God…” Ibrahim said, devastated.He knew he c
With a lot of difficulties, Shadow bid her brother farewell. Her eyes were surely covered with tears and her nose was certainly full of snot. Separating from Hisoka turned out to be the biggest heartbreak she had ever experienced after the death of her brothers and sisters and also her first love.Fear of losing him overpowered her at one point and she started to wail like a little kid while throwing a tantrum on the floor.Therefore, to protect her dignity from further humiliation, Salahuddin and Siti grabbed Malikul and fled from the scene earlier than their promised time. They felt like they intruded into their family time.So, together with Malikul’s vehement scream, both of them flapped their wings and returned to the territory at once.So, waving Hisoka goodbye after a series of promises, she hugged Aulia tightly while Ibrahim rubbed off the fallen tears.“Don’t cry, baby. Papa will bring you to them every week.” He was a bit clumsy as this was his first time caring for his chil
“Where are we, mommy?” Shadow rubbed her eyes, but Aulia gently pushed them away.“We are at the east coast of the forest.”“Ah, at the Darkest Woodland.” Darkest Woodland was the property of the king’s family. Only family members or anyone that qualified could enter this part of the forest. Naturally, Shadow had a pass to enter whenever she liked. Shadow yawned big, eyes filled with tears.“Are you sleepy, my baby?” She rocked her a few more times.Aidan guided her head on Aulia’s shoulder and forcefully closed her eyes with his fingers.“What are you doing, brother?”“Sleep.” Shadow felt the warm hand rubbing her cheek a few times before she giggled low.“Oh wait a minute,” the voice of their father arose right after the entrance portal had been disabled. “Shadow! You told us that the wolf crown prince is crushing on you. But you told me that he is the hyena’s husband-to-be?”“When did it become so complicated?” Aidan said in awe.‘Oh shit.’To avoid answering the question, Shado
Their walk was fairly short, considering the house was just only a few miles away from the palace. Excitedly, the lodging was located at the peak of the mountain - as psycho as it sounds - the road of the mountain filled with nothing but venomous beings that Shadow would love to study in her free time.Both of them stopped right at the small cabin at the peak. The cabin had nothing but grass everywhere.Climbing down King, she stood next to the door with her brother’s gruesome expression. Taking a peek at her brother, she had to ask him. “What with the face?”“I need to create a mood.”Shadow tilted her head. “For what?”“So that he won’t disrespect you, my little angel.” He stroked his sister’s head.With her straight, she gave a simple nod to her brother. “As you wish.” She turned her neck at two lions. “Go play.”Their tails wagged excitedly. With big stretches, they immediately dashed back into the forest that they were coming from. Tok tok tok.Aidan knocked on the door while S
Albert bent his body and stretched his arm to the ground and picked a stack of files just next to the table and placed several of them on the table. Amongst them, a ray-blue file was pushed forward toward Shadow wordlessly.“And this is?” Shadow grabbed it and promptly opened it. “Ah, all the activity in The Unknown.”“Roughly, yeah.”Shadow gestured at the other files. “What about those?”“Same, but much more detail.”“Can I read all of it?”“Read?” Albert asked for affirmation.The files in front of him were more than five, and all of them by all means were thicker than usual. It exceeded 500 pages each and she wished to read it. Everything.“Yeah, I want to read it.”“When?”“Now.”“Now? Here?” Again, he was taken aback. “You can bring it home, but of course, you must burn all of it once you’re done.”“Why should I? This is the perfect evidence. We can keep it at your house.” She flipped to the next page after two seconds of skimming through the whole page.“And risk my life becaus
Albert scratched his chin, kind of pissed when the girl seemed cool with everything. Her eyes had no ounce of agitation or any negative feeling. It seemed like she was there, just wanting to absorb the knowledge.And it wasn't good. He needed to know exactly who she was. “I don’t believe a king would send an ordinary peasant girl to handle business this sensitive.”Shadow was astonished at the level of his proficiency. The man certainly knew what he was doing. Pushing down his fear and interrogating her like one of those high-profile criminals. Tried to seize her every second he got.The man was certainly a great scholar and also an expert profiler. Now she knew all the hype around him. Aidan’s admiration was pretty much spot on, though, he couldn’t offer much to make her like him. The man was decent, but that’s all. He was a genius, alright but there’s plenty of this kind of genius in where she was coming from. Hisoka was on par with him in that sense. Therefore, he was becoming the
Albert lifted the corner of his lips and scowled at her. “No one seems to understand me.”“Don’t act like you're a victim, please.” She smirked on the page.“But I am.”Pap!She closed the fourth file dramatically and took the last file. “Remind me once again.”“Yes?”“What species are you?”“The wolf– I see. I am from the wolf tribe.” At first, he was quite curious as to why she asked about his species but now he understands. “Doesn’t mean I can’t be a victim.”“I concur. And to my understanding, you’re weaker than your king? You? The ex-duke heir from the wolf tribe?” Shadow flickered at one of the pages as her eyes sparkled in excitement.“Yes, I am.”Shadow shook her head. “Let me rephrase my sentence. Are you weaker than the current prince of the wolf tribe?”Albert opened his mouth only to close it. His eyes were asking her the question's meaning because it was hella confusing even for him. Yes, he was weaker than the king, though he couldn’t say the same thing to the crown prin
