New law of Beast Taming

Amane could not ready Charlie’s expression but she did notice the jealousy and hope in Charlie’s voice. It seemed as if Charlie still held some hope for Amane to return to her real self.

But death was an irreversible process. If you aimed to bring a soul back from the cycle of rebirth, then you had to pay a heavy price. And the thing that came back was no longer a soul, but a harbinger of death and destruction.

It was something everyone wanted to accept and move on with their lives. There is no need for anyone to try such a dangerous thing.

"I don’t particularly care about my parents. They have been dead for most of my life and I have accepted that outcome. People who had been left in the past should remain there."

Amane very subtly told Charlie Suzuki to give up on Amane as well. It had been centuries and there was no chance of her coming back.

Her words made Charlie Suzuki flinch and the elder was taken aback. She had not said anything but it still felt as if she had been seen through by Yoko Tsurugi. In the end, Charlie decided to mask her discomfort by laughing it off.

"Hahaha, you are so funny Yoko, but don’t worry. I am not waiting nor hoping for a miracle to happen to me, I have accepted what happened in my past and decided to walk toward a future. After all, it has you in it."

This was supposed to be a serious situation but Amane felt her laugh bubble beneath the surface of her calmness.

Sakura’s words were ironic since she did not know whom she was talking about. Amane held her laugh back for the time being before she decided to head back into the hallway.

Somehow, the crowd seemed to have doubled in size while Yoko had been gone. And a lot of the crowd seemed to be concentrated around Sakura and her father.

Most of the males here today have either come for Sakura or for Yoko’s hand in marriage. They all wanted to inherit the great fortune that they possessed. And among the two, Sakura had been chosen as the easier target.

Amane was about to head toward Sakura to help her when she felt someone approaching her. The man who did so was a well-built and drunk person. He looked three times Amane’s age and was not well-kept.

He reached out toward Amane’s arm and grabbed it roughly. His grip was tight and warm, keeping Amane grounded in her place. But his smell surely reeked, putting Amane in a bad mood.

*hic* "Y-Yoko Tsurugi, you think you are so high and mighty, huh? Well, you might be that but I am a great person as well. So, hurry up and marry me already."

The man was drunk as he could not keep his focus on Amane at all. His eyes continued to roll around and his dizziness made the man sway on his feet.

"Sir, you are drunk. Please let go of my hand or I will be forced to make you release the grip you have on me."

Amane warned the man but he looked unconcerned. He did not believe that Yoko Tsurugi had any power to back up her claim. He snorted in her face and his eyes looked at her filled with challenge.

*hic* "If you think you can remove my hand from your arm, then go ahead. But if you are not able to, then you will *hic* must marry me. *hic**hic* is that a *hic* deal?"

The man asked with utter confidence in his strength. And Amane had to admit that this man had a little bit of physical advantage over most people. But Amane was different.

Instead of replying to this man, she grabbed his wrist and twisted it around. The sound of bones snapping was heard before the man grabbed his wrist in pain. The shock of being hurt seemed to have knocked the man back into the conscious realm.

"I…ouch, these hurts. My wrist burns and it feels as if it would break any second now. Ouch, this wrist of mine. Y-You! How dare you do this to me? Don’t you know who I am?"

The rude male asked as he looked Yoko up and down with disdain. He could not figure out how this small and weak-looking female had managed to exert this much power and break his bones as well.

But this old man still did not have any fear. The main reason was that he was being backed by someone amazing. Once Yoko Tsurugi heard about his backing, she would throw herself toward him as well.

"Do you know that I am from the divine guild? I am also one of my mother’s favourite child this century. Lady Suzuki has a spot for me and you will get into trouble if you do not consider my warnings."

The rude male continued to brag, totally unaware that he was barking up the wrong tree. The only person who did not care about Charlie Suzuki and her status was Yoko in the hall.

"Oh, so you are Charlie’s favourite child? I thought it was Helios. Are you sure you have enough proof to back up your claim?"

Amane asked and she watched how the man turned red and then pale then back red in a minute,

"Helios? That kid is far too young to be Mother’s favourite. I have held the spot for being her favourite for a long time now and I will keep it for a long time as well. Even that new obsessions of mother’s, whatever her name is, will not last long."

The man boasted in front of Amane, not being aware that ’she’ was the so-called obsession Charlie Suzuki had.

Amane had been annoyed at this man before but now she was just amused. Something about his words and the way he spoke felt funny to her and Amane wanted to hear more.

"Oh, so go on. Tell me more about your mother and how you are her favourite child."

*cough*

The man was taken aback by Amane’s sudden question but then he grinned in confidence and relief.

"Lady Suzuki always remained with me when I was younger and she also attended my marriage ceremony when she refused to attend any social functions, she deemed unfit to attend. You do not know how amazing my mother is."

"But if you apologize and agree to go out with me, I can put in some good words for you in front of my mother."

The man continued to brag all the time and someone finally had enough of it. Amane was also getting annoyed so she held up her hand to knock this man out…

Only to be stopped when Helios made his way toward her and grabbed his brother’s arm. He gave Amane the most apologetic look he could.

"Bother, it is time for us to leave. Mother is calling for you and asking you to head home. You do not want to disappoint her, right?"

Helios asked and the older man frowned before recognition flashed across his eyes. The most frightening expression flashed across that man’s face and he flinched.

"Mother is asking me to go home? I see. So, I shall head home right now. Yoko, come with me back to my home. I want to continue my talk with you and I also assure you that you will have a fantastic time with me."

The older man leered at Amane with his eyes filled with intent. It was disgusting and it took every inch of self-control Amane had to keep herself in check and not kill this man.

Helios paled as well and looked toward Sean for help. The elder police officer sighed and made his way toward the trio who were causing trouble.

"Elder brother, you cannot invite random people to go back with you. Your wife would not be happy and you might face problems in the future as well. You are tarnishing your reputation by doing this."

Sean calmly explained his brother but he scoffed at Sean’s words and continued to grin like a lunatic.

"Ha, reputation? Reputation is nothing but a social constraint that can be bought with money. Once I have Yoko Tsurugi as my mistress and the one financially backing me up. How can anyone dare to question me and my authority in such a case?"

The man asked and Sean felt second-hand embarrassment while looking at his brother. It was one thing for his brother to be saying these things in private, but it was another to be saying these in a public setting where others could hear these words.

Even more so when their mother hears these words and heads toward them. No one wanted to endure their mother’s nagging or face her anger. Enjoy new stories from freewebnovel

Before anyone could stop the eldest person, he lunged toward Amane and tried to grab her wrist. Everyone was too stunned to be able to stop him from going crazy.

In the end, the one who reacted once more was Yoko as she completely dodged the crazy person, and her anger boiled at the disrespect. ’

"You know what? I have had enough of you annoying me like this. It is time for me to teach you a lesson."

Amane tested the man’s arm around and threw him back with only one hand. Everyone who looked at her looked shocked at the display of her power.

"Take him out and make sure he doesn’t show up near me again. Next time I will not be so chill about it."
