“So… how is it?” Shadow rested her head against Malikul’s chest, leg entangled with him on the floor.“Do you want to know how many there are?” She nodded her head, eyes half-dropped.Phantom tapped his finger on the coffee table, quite deliberately. His eyes shifted between Malikul and Shadow before a long tired sigh echoed in the office room.“What do you want to know?” He asked.Shadow grinned wide. Phantom sigh was the sign of something. Hopefully, something that she was waiting for.“Come on, Phantom. You know what she wants.” Malikul supported her as usual.Watching these lovebirds, invited a lethargic sigh from Phantom yet again.“Of course, I know what she wanted. The discrepancies.” He rolled his eyes.Shadow made a happy sound under her throat and clasped her fingers together.“As you suspected.” He sighed. Snap!Phantom snapped his fingers. A massive screen-like appeared in the air. The Microsoft sheet appeared with numbers and alphabets.“What’s this?” Shadow cocked her
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 two men and a woman in front of he
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
