Three bodies kneeled in front of them, heads bowed at her respectfully.

“We greet The Holiness.”

The emperor, the first king, and the second king greeted her with full respect.

Shadow wordlessly scanned their bodies from head to toe. With the ragged clothes and smeared appearance. The battles that they’d experienced just now were evident on their faces.

[Shadow, do you wish to punish Albus?]

Phantom whispered into her brain.

[Why?]

Shadow asked.

[I did find that ledger error. We all know Albus was caught in the mix.]

[And?]

[It wouldn’t be fair if you want to punish him.]

He explained briefly.

[Why would you say that? It wasn’t Albus?]

Shadow asked although she was smiling knowingly.

[No, it wasn’t. At first, I believed so too. But the transactions didn’t line up perfectly. It was like someone was trying to pin it on him.]

“Hmmm…” Shadow drummed her finger on the armrest. The cog inside her brain was working extra hard before, “Puhahahahahaha.”

    The next day, Shadow strode toward the meeting place which was located at her own office. It was a business trip, or so everyone hoped.Due to the missing bride, the guests returned disappointedly. It showed clearly on their faces. Shadow was a valuable asset in The Unknown. That is where Malikul came into play. Using the authority of Shadow’s husband, he assured them. He made a promise that Shadow had agreed upon.The promise was predetermined. Thus, everyone returned with quite a smile on their faces eventually. After all, everyone that was invited was favored by Shadow. Clearly. Of course, Malikul pointed out that one as well. The atmosphere in the meeting room was increasingly heightened. For some reason, Malikul arrived without his wife. His eyes were asking Wan where she was, and, obviously, Wan didn’t know. It would be something wrong somewhere if he knew when her husband didn’t know about her whereabouts.She should be here the earliest as she was the owner of this room, in f

    It’s a silver wolf from the wolf tribe, almost as rare as an Albino. Her hair was wavy and shiny, and her eyes were bright blue like an ocean. His neck was marked with a barcode tattoo meaning that she was a slave until recently.Aesthetically, the woman was stunning, not quite as stunning as Shadow, though, in Malikul’s opinion. What Malikul saw was a valuable breed. Nothing more, nothing less.According to the wolf tribe, the silver wolf was sought after for its breedable body. It sounded bullshit and of course, Malikul referred to the old tyrannical ruler. Not the new edition which was – coincidentally, or not – Shadow’s brother: Albert. However, Malikul understood the notion of the statement. She was extremely attractive to the eyes. Even Albus and Rozita looked regretfully for a second. They could feed off the woman for a few decades if they decided for her to sell the body. She would make a good fuck. Malikul wouldn’t lie.Of course, Malikul wasn’t part of that crazy fantasy. H

    “I love your scent the best,” she squirmed on top of Shadow.Her massive body curled on Shadow’s tiny body. Both arms were thrown around Shadow’s neck. Shadow clasped Kara’s waist and pulled her body near to the armrest and rested her own back against that. “Who is Matius?” Shadow had another thing to worry about.“The lizard’s lord from the outskirts.” “Lizard’s lord? Was he the chameleon?” Shadow asked.She had heard about the lizard’s lord, Count Matius, who lived in the outskirts of west Indonesia. He was famous for his creepy sexual tendencies. And for someone who wasn’t big, he surely loved massive mistresses to satiate his sexual need.“Yes, he is a chameleon. Loved watching us change our clothes in front of him and do… something weird. Like rubbing his geni–”“Okay, thank you, darling. I don’t wish to delve much into it.” And I am not your therapist. My anger will never let me. She coughed.“Oh! Okay.” Shadow hummed. “But, I wish to know how the couples knew about us. If y

    Kara ended up being escorted by Wan after showing her appreciation toward the man. Priscilla towed behind them per Shadow’s command to help Kara to change or do whatever she should do. Also to not catch any gossip from anyone. This was her office but the gossipy nature was pretty much here as well.Even if Shadow tried to prevent it, there was nothing she could do if they talked behind her back. It’s not that she could fire everyone.In the office room, Malikul was hugging Shadow while sitting on the sofa while Midas sat at the opposite side and facing them with a natural face.He had seen enough to react anyway. It would be a waste of his emotions.“So… tell me.” Shadow started. “Tell me you have something for me.” Midas scratched his head. “I don’t know what to tell you, Lord,” he said, kneading his eyes. “It’s supposed to be Albus. He did this. He’s the thief.”Malikul frowned while Shadow was smiling wide. “But what about the discrepancies in those four months?”Midas was taken

    On the other hand, Petal, one of the Mandrill Monkeys, openly flirted with the old lady that was probably centuries older than him.Wolf, lion, elves, dragon, and other races were cozy up together in a tent cafe where Samuel introduced him. Unlike the rest of the guests from The Unknown, Shadow’s people had split into a few units and went out doing something.Mandrill Monkey included.“Recruit everyone that you desire. Trust your eyes, trust your instinct.”Easily, Petal’s eyes follow the old woman who seemed to run this cafe. Under the mask of a smiling mandrill monkey, he arched his brow at her.“What is your order, young man?” The old lady looked at him from head to toe. ‘He is not worth it.’And decided to not mess with him. The visible eyes might smile but it was a different type of smile. The type that might drop dead n the back alley if she didn’t know better. This man wasn’t huge, but the aura he carried was so intense. Along with his flirty attitude, the man came in strong o

    “Sir… what do you mean by this?” She looked confused.And rightfully so. If she hadn’t known better, this young man seemed to be mocking her, but a genuine stare was so impactful. She couldn’t decide whether to be offended or jealous. She would never touch numerous gold coins even if she broke her back.The world was cruel. She was living in it and had already resigned to her fate. But this man was of an entirely different breed. Who was he?“I mean, three gold coins are made on an extremely slow day in just one of the sectors in the business I venture, Lady Linda. On a good day well…” Petal chuckled, using his attractive honey-like voice to allure her.If he tried to use that against her, he did an incredibly good job of doing exactly that. “You can dream the amount if you'd like,” Petal added. Linda’s eyes lit up and she could’ve sworn her mouth watered just a tiny bit. She swallowed hastily and tried to be subtle about it. Obviously it wasn’t subtle enough because Petal was laugh

    Zombie marched forward, pointedly ignoring the other Mandrill Monkeys with eyes trained on the old lady. Shoving her hand to her.“Hi. The name is Zombie. The head of the recruiter. My eyes can discern useful people with just a glance. I can see your unbloom talent.”Linda hesitantly took the hand. Zombie’s attitude was quite repulsive to her eyes, yet she said nothing and only smiled business-like. They shook hands as Linda swallowed her saliva. The aura carried by this Zombie lady was so extreme. As extreme as the other seven.Zombie was a woman in her early 20s. She gave no shit even though Linda was taller than her. She exuded a confident single lady. She had a similar sleeveless hoodie with different shades of color and bear ears latched on her head hoodie but with an angry bear mouth and nose.Truthfully, Linda was quite intrigued by her. “Linda. The owner of this cafe.” She cleared her throat.“Ah!” Zombie made quite an expression under her mask. “You have talent in business b

    At the border of the South China Sea.The green ships surrounded the white ship. Green Bunny jumped aboard the white ship and stopped behind Shadow. Tenth; Shadow’s people under Hidden and White Bunny were also standing behind her.Shadow was seen smiling after talking with the other person on the phone. His countenance was slightly better than this morning.“Your Holiness.” Green called out toward Shadow as the representative of the green ships. He could see the ocean that Shadow was currently looking at. There were corpses of the beastmen floating up next to the debris. The attack happened at early dawn. After receiving the report from the lion’s tribe, Shadow took it upon herself to oversee the situation. While Dhia was still coming back from the combat on the land with her own people. Firash and Aidan were settling the urgent issue in the palace. It happened suddenly. A few dozen ships were seen rushing at Malaysia’s sea where the lion resided. All SQE had alerted her about i

    Black and Teal landed at the training ground where Shadow was. Their clean attire fluttered around, eyes focused on Shadoe who was harassing her sparring partners which consisted of Albert, Firash, Aidan, Dhia, and also Musa. Watching those people's haggard faces and tattered clothes, Teal covered her mouth as a nostalgic feeling crept under her skin. It was not a great experience. Although, it increased her prowess, power, ability to wield her GIFT, and strength. Still, it wasn’t a pleasant experience knowing how brutal Shadow could be. “I think we need to rescue them.” “Should we?”Black mumbled while stroking her chin while Teal shivered at the thought alone. Then, both of them wavered their hands as those people took notice of them and pleaded with their eyes.“Should we?”“... we should, should we?”Black asked cunningly and Teal sighed in resignation. If they don't save them, they might hit their limit soon. In normal circumstances, it would be ideal, however, not right now.

    “Hmmm… are those the ships that we need to destroy?” “Apparently so, Blue.”“Seriously?”“Yup, yup.”“... that thing is gigantic. What the…” “Fu fu fu. Believe me, I thought so too, Blue.”Blue and Pink were standing right in front of the naval ship. Blue was standing on top of the ice he created while Pink was flying, fluttering her flower’s wings behind her back.They were in the middle of the sea with nothing in it. They were sure that the mermen would be ambushing. They expected it to a certain extent, however… what they didn’t expect was the oblivious approach.The naval ships filled with countless beastmen, no. hundreds of confused beastmen. Both Pink and Blue didn’t smell particularly strong.Blue seemed delighted but Pink was quite vexed. “Did we get the weakest link?” She flipped open her paper fan and fanned it harder.“I don’t know. Feels like I am in heaven.”Pink gnashed her teeth and glared at her partner.“What?” Blue acted innocent.“You and your stupid attitude.” S

    “Look. there’s an ass picture of the supposed dragon lord.” Green mumbled next to White.“I can see that, Green.” White tried to control her lips from vomiting.“Just alerting you.”“Thank you.”Green and White were disguising themselves as a wizard and a witch. Wands at each hand.“Young man,” a soft touch was placed on Green.Green reflexly turned his head at the old lady next to him. His green eyes dilated a mere second before a sweet smile emerged. “Yes, beautiful lady?” “Ho ho ho,” the old lady that looked not more than 70 years old radiantly chuckled. “How sweet you are.” White looked away, acting like Green and she wasn’t related. The old lady might appear 70, but she knew better, that the old lady was centuries old.“Do you know what is the meaning behind this painting?”Green stroked his chin, pondering at the ass painting – again, the supposed dragon lord. He wasn’t sure what to say. It was literally the buttcrack of Ferdinand. How’d he know? The description was literall

    Bzzzzzzt~The sharp sound of electricity traveled across the metal factory.Unlike Grey and Brown, their destination was a metal factory. Thanks to kind-hearted Grey, they changed their destination. It was the closest and it was on the ground.Everyone knew Orange didn’t do well underground due to old trauma. Hence why Grey decided to give in. As always. Also, they all knew that Orange was Grey’s favorite. Of course, Grey denied the claim and the issue died there. As usual.They strolled inside as if they were visiting the factory, not invading. Meanwhile, the enemies were panicking.“Abad’s been hit. There’s someone out here–” The voice that was shouting through the radio before cutting out. Huh? The fuck? Abad’s hurt?“Captain Ayham, the left side is clear,” Barqi said right after that. “We’re moving, heading to the main pathway.” Ayham gritted his teeth.He was in the controller room. CCTV captured the activities inside the factory. However, the place where the enemies were situ

    Tap! Both of them landed right in the middle of the nothingness. It was barren. Sand, rock, and cactus. That’s all.It was a freaking desert.“This is the right place.” Brown adjusted his mask.Grey raised his arm into the air and pulled out his middle finger and felt the air.“Why must that one?” Brown was tired of his antics.“As long as I can do my work,” retorted Grey nonchalantly. “What about your situation?” Slightly turned his head at Brown.“I have a clear vision.” Brown closed his eyes, feeling the movement underneath. “How many?” He tilted his head. Something was wrong. The weather felt wrong for some reason. The density of air was different than usual.“Approximately 50 beastmen on each floor. I could be wrong.”“And how many floors do they have?” He opened his eyes and stared at the sky.“Approximately… three.” Grey counted the clouds in the air. “Three? Are you sure?” Brown tilted his head and set his jaw, feeling the vibration even the smallest one. “Wait a minute!

    “Wild Bunny, gather!” Black clapped her hands, calling the rest of the restless members.“What are we? Fucking school kids?” Orange murmured silently, his steps still trudging toward Black.“Shut your stinky mouth.” Brown clicked his tongue.“What a fool.” White shook her head.“You’re the last thing I want to hear.” Teal groaned.“We ain’t fighting.” Pink pushed both their heads at once while walking past them.The rest of them were laughing inwardly.Once they gathered, Black placed a transparent bowl with numerous folded papers in it. Her black eyes latched on each one of them, wriggled her brows petulantly.“As usual, we’ll choose our area the Old Way.”“Ugh! I hate it.” Blue murmured amongst them. The voice filled with annoyance.“We must use this method to ensure fairness, Blue Bunny.” Blue rolled his eyes shut and slumped his head on Pink’s shoulder.“I’ll pick the paper for us.” Pink raised her hand.“Me… will do.” White raised her hand as well.Gold nodded at Black.“Alright

    Flashback! “Hey! Do you want to hear a secret?” Shadow asked right after her wedding took place.All the Underworld family gathered around. A secret? Just you, and the rest of us? Ehe., hehehe. Oops. sorry that had to come out. Go on.” Brown and Orange clasped their hands in full happiness.“What is it?” Black swallowed hard. “Don’t tell me…”“Something is wrong.” Captain from Mandrill Monkey arched his brow in anticipation.“I also can feel it in my dick.” Daddy from Mandrill Monkey stroked his chin.“God damn it, Daddy.” “I am only telling the truth. My dick can feel it.” He had no remorse, no shame.“Please don’t talk about that in the open, I guess?”“About what? Dick? Why? Because we have ladies here?”“Yes, and it is inappropriate.”“Why? They can talk about their vajayjay if they want to.”“Damn it, Daddy! Stop it!” Captain clasped his mouth and dragged him away.The rest of the Mandrill Monkeys were cackling as if there was no tomorrow. “After analyzing the movement of the

    “Sniff… really?” Phantom rubbed his nose against Shadow’s neck.“Yes. I can’t live without you. I swear.” She tried to appear convincing.“But will you die?” He was adamant about Shadow’s life.Why wouldn’t he? He was there when Shadow was at the bottom. He was there when she was suffering. He was there when she died hundreds of times. He could do nothing but watch her from afar. He had no physical body nor the capability to protect her. He was a mere artificial intelligence living in the system. “Phantom… I will cease to exist following the promise of the previous lord. Abah. I can’t die before that. My body has been programmed to do so.”It was her sad life. Cease to exist. She would never experience death like others. She would cease to exist when the time was calling. Her death would be a mysterious death. A sudden death. Abah had promised her up to 1000 years old. She knew her body couldn’t hold that long. According to her calculation, she had 800 years more to go. Plus and min

    “Have you improvised their ID card or something?”Shadow turned her head at her desk. Phantom was seen sitting on top of his folders, crossed legs, and caned his chin with his hand. He was grinning wide.“You’re here?” Shadow rested her head on the visitor chair in front of her desk.Phantom’s foot was wagging back and forth, right in front of Shadow. Yet, the girl said nothing to reprimand him. She was just extremely.Phantom waved his hand, some sort of greeting or whatever.“No, the upgraded version. As soon as the card seeped into him, his whole existence was inside the system.” She answered.“When did you develop the new version?” It piqued Phantom’s interest.Shadow merely scoffed and shut her eyes. “Mind checking how well the information settles in?” She meant all the information regarding Amari’s body.It felt like time stopped momentarily. Phantom lost his smile. The usual playful vibe was killed. Phantom killed it. Anger gradually flamed inside his eyes.“Whatever you mean
