“I’m coming here searching for no smoke from you. We just want to declare our status to werewolves.” The man’s smile deepened when he felt a deep power inside the girl.
“Hoh!” Shadow released herself from the gravity attack.
The gravity faltered and released her from the torture, she escaped it and sat on the floor like it was nothing.
“Interesting.”
The young man’s lips subtly twitched, astonished and scared at the same time. “You are the first person to break free from my gravity.”
“Sounds like it is not my problem.” Shadow retorted. Her finger pointed at the hitched breath mayor. “Do your job. I still need to settle my score with the oldi
“The arrival of the lord of the mansion, the conqueror, Lord Shadow,” Samuel announced Shadow’s arrival as soon as the door of the massive hall was opened from the outside.All the subjects presented in the hall bent their bodies and gave a deep bow to the lord. The subjects included ministers that she’d never seen before even after four days in power. Seemed the ministers were not so keen to meet until they’d learned of her achievements.Her sinister eyes glowered at them. Under the mask of the creepy smile, she pressed her lips thin straight. Her eyes examined the subjects on both sides while passing by them. Most of them were trembling like a rabbit in the presence of the lion. Dare her to say it was out of guilt.
“So? What do we get here?” Shadow yawned under the mask.The full hall was now half empty due to the arrest of all ministers in the hall. And for the first time in history, the judgment was made without ministers’ presence, which she took kindly.The interference of the lives of corrupt ministers would be at risk. She might kill them on the spot, which was not ideal because that’s not what she wanted.In front of her was the mayor of the werewolf territory, Mina, and the butcher; the father of Samuel.Samuel also lowered his gaze and lined up with the sinners out of his volition. This was his mistake. He would not make an excuse to escape. He was ready to bear the consequences of his own action.
“Do you?”The dry voice of the lord clenched his heart. He felt the knot in his stomach and a heavy breath. The airway tightened his throat and he choked with sudden tears of guilt. His body quivered, it was not out of fear, it was full of guilt and the pain he witnessed.He didn’t deserve mercy.“I want to.” But please, for once, let him be selfish.“I can save you from your own guilt. As long as you are with me, loyal to me, I will help you to go through your pain. So, do you wish to be my people?” She asked officially in front of a lot of witnesses.When they thought again, it was a smart move because once Samuel took the oath, he became one of the lord’s people a
“After a great deal of consideration, I wish to be your great lord, give you a new path to flourishing,” she started, deliberately speaking slowly. “From now on, the werewolf territory will become part of Burning Town. The two towns have now become one.”A few disbelieved gasped, a ghost of chokes echoed around the hall. The people weren't able to comprehend her announcement. If it was true, the lord had served their justice.By conquering the werewolves' territory, the town could reclaim their old land again. It was a gift sent by heaven.“And so, I am planning to conquer all the towns around us.”The eyes of people were full of expectation yet rendered speechless, eventually. It the once the weakest town surrounded by four powe
The blood splattered everywhere. The walls, the ceiling, the floor, nonetheless. The walls were long split into a few parts. The closed rooms were now turned into one massive open hall with Shadow’s people filled in.The corpses scattered around, some even lost their parts. In the massive mansion, a rival to their lord, the owner was nowhere to be seen. Their black attires were now covered with blood and sweat mixing together.Over two years, the number of people who served under Shadow increased tremendously. After conquering the werewolves' territory, Shadow moved stealthily forward. Her decisive action and manipulation contributed to the plan the most.Conan, Samuel, Amel, Keira, and Elijah were her strongest members. Each had its own role.As Elijah was t
Shadow got out of the car as the soldiers greeted her left and right, bowing down. A long red carpet stretched long from the car until inside the main door of the mansion.She stepped on top of it, the dirt under the shoes left its own print. So she took the chance to scuff his shoe on the flooring without a care a few times.While doing so, Elijah straightened up the wrinkled attire of Shadow without being asked. As the leader of the soldiers, David acted as a chauffeur; he was perfect for the job.So, it pricked Shadow’s conscience to see he wasted his time with another pack of cigars.“Elijah,” she said with a smile under the mask.Elijah instinctively pried her hands off Shadow and put them behind
“Lord… there goes saying ‘a nice face is a punchable face’.” Samuel exhaled her scent.“Oh, intriguing. Tell me more.” The terror-stricken voice was suddenly eager to open.“Don’t you think his face is punchable?” Samuel snickered with his hungry gaze penetrating James’s eyes.Shadow studied the situation for a second before her cheekbones lifted up,” absolutely.”Samuel laughed his butt off like a madman. The memory of the punishment of the lord is fresh inside his brain. It was so satisfying to see the target flapping on the ground, screaming on top of their lungs, and having the trauma. It was so g
“I’ll… talk…”Shadow smirked under the mask.“Oh man!” Samuel visibly hated it. “No one ever lasts longer. Is the second phase terrified you the most?” He shouted angrily.“I… will… talk…” James huffed, glanced at the back with panic.“Oh, you’ve escaped the lake.”“It’s so big. What is that? It’s so big.” His eyes quivered in panic. “Purf!” Suddenly he vomited bile of blood on the floor.“Why so sudden?” Conan freaked out. Has anyone shot him?“Who? Pain… pain&
