New law of Beast Taming

Everyone looked stunned at Crescenta’s bold actions. Her grandfather looked horrified at the mess she was creating and he wanted to go forward and drag his granddaughter back as soon as he could.

But he had to hold his desire back because the deed had already been done and Charlie Suzuki had yet to respond to Crescenta’s provocations.

"Crescenta, you are a daring one! I did not know you and my mother used to be this close. I never actually saw you with my mother as well. So where did all this latent love come from?"

Sakura asked as she barely suppressed her rage. She had never expected her emotions to try and get the better of her like this. But the wounds her mother had left on her were still fresh and pressing on them hurt Sakura.

Not that Crescenta minded doing just that. Crescenta did not even care what or where she was speaking when she spoke.

"Your mother was like a second mother to me and you only must blame yourself for it, Sakura. You were too busy playing with Yoko to pay attention to your poor mother. As a result, I got close with her."

"I was more of a daughter to her than you ever were."

Crescenta bragged and now everyone knew that this was going a little overboard. Crescenta had never been close to Elios but she was busy bullshitting as much as she could.

"Oh no, it’s all so sad that I cannot hold back my tears. You will comfort me, won’t you, lady Suzuki? Please help me feel better."

Crescenta begged with tearful eyes. Everyone looked stunned at her bold actions except Amane who ended up laughing out loud at the situation.

"T-This is hilarious. Man, this is better than any show I could have asked for. Elios Tsurugi and being close to someone? This is a first. That cold-hearted woman could only think about her profit and how to better her life. She had no room in her heart for another."

"As for you visiting Elios a lot. I know for a fact that you only talked with her a couple of times ever since she came to live back with us. You did not even get invited to any meetings or outings she planned."

"But most importantly, her will does not even mention you or anything. So how can *you* be considered important to Elios?"

Amane asked all these questions to Crescenta and made the female flustered. Crescenta was shocked still once the accusations started.

She had not expected all these questions, nor had she expected Yoko to be the one to ask them all. In her mind, Yoko was a fool who was easy to take care of. So Crescenta had not even considered her a danger up until now.

"I…that is…. this is not fair, for you to be speaking like this. You have no right to interfere in our talk Yoko. A-And as for me not being invited out by Aunt Elios, isn’t it obvious? It’s because my aunt cared for me and did not want me to get hurt."

"This is how deep our bond goes."

Crescenta bragged once more and stopped paying attention to others. The only one she cared to pay attention to was Charlie Suzuki now.

"Lady Divine, you believe me, right? All I said was the truth and you can strike me if you think I am lying. I will never…ehhhh."

The ground adjacent to Crescenta was struck with lightning and Charlie Suzuki held her hand out once more. Her hand was held up so that her palm could be seen clearly. And electricity cracked in the space.

"Do you think I am an idiot who has no head to think? I can smell lies from a mile away so there is no way I am not aware of how much truth you spoke."

"The only reason I allowed you to keep on going was because Yoko found you amusing all this time. But I am not in the mood to take any more of your bullshit."

Any confidence Crescenta had up until now wavered and she suddenly looked scared. Breathing was getting harder for Crescenta as more and more pressure was put on her body.

"I-I am sorry. Please forgive me. This will not happen again."

Crescenta instantly apologized, realizing that she made a mistake. She should not have spoken all the bullshit about being filial and missing Lady Elios.

Heck, if she knew about Charlie Suzuki’s ability beforehand, then Crescenta would not have said half of the things she did. But it was too late to say anything now.

"Do you know what you did wrong? I did not care if you lied to me or tried to deceive me like you did. I must admit that it was rather amusing to see you try and speak the bullshit you did. But you went after Yoko and that is not right."

Crescenta felt her breath stop working and her brain only had one thought.

’It was Yoko! The one Charlie Suzuki liked was Yoko and I was wrong in my assumptions.’

But what use was this realization when Crescenta’s impression had already been ruined? The way she was being held by the divine leader right now, her feet off the ground and her throat in her tight grip, Crescenta was sure she would die.

"H-Help me."

Crescenta reached out to anyone she could to save her life. But her libs did not have enough power.

People gasped as they watched his display. They did not know what they should do to help Crescenta out. And most of them did not even want to help her out.

It was Crescenta’s fault she was in this situation.

In the end, the one who stepped forward was Sherina. She could not watch someone being killed in front of her since it went against her code of conduct.

Her body was frozen in fear and shock but she still willed it to move forward and grab Charlie Suzuki’s extended arm.

"Lady Suzuki, please let go of Crescenta. I know that she made a mistake but we cannot kill her for it. It would not be the right thing to do."

Sherina tried to make the divine leader let go of Crescenta. But all it did was make the divine leader even angrier and her grip started to crush Crescenta’s throat.

"You do realize that the one Crescenta insulted was not only me but your daughter as well, right? And you are still going to take her side? Is that what you are choosing?"

Sherina took in a deep breath to calm herself down before her eyes flashed with determination.

"Lady Suzuki, I know that the one who was insulted was my daughter, but I am still asking you to let Crescenta go. I will teach this child better and she will never cross paths with you again."

Sherina hoped that this much was not enough. Even she was beginning to feel faith because of the power being displayed in front of her. She was not sure she could be able to keep her conscious for any longer.

Just when it felt like everything was over and they would die, Yoko decided to interfere. She placed her hand on top of Charlie Suzuki’s hand and Charlie instantly let go and dropped her hand.

"Charlie, I think we can let things pass this time. I would rather not spend my time planning more death ceremonies for the next few months. Also, I prefer to take my revenge personally and I need these people alive for that."

Yoko’s voice sounded creepy and it made people flinch when they heard her speak. Even Sherina looked taken aback and she felt a sliver of fear run down her spine.

"Fine, I will let these people for your sake this time, Yoko. But next time they piss me off, it would be the end for them all."

With those final words of warning, Charlie turned around and pulled Yoko after her. Sakura followed them all out as well.

In the corner, Akabe Tsurugi sighed as his wife’s death banquet was ruined. He knew that this was going to happen anyway so he was not surprised. Stay tuned with freewebnovel

But he was glad for one thing and that was how Sakura had been taken under Charlie Suzuki’s umbrella. The divine leader might not care for Sakura the same way she cared for Yoko, but it was still something.

...

"You should not have stopped me from killing those two, Yoko. They will continue to annoy you in the future because of what happened right now."

Charlie reminded Yoko of this and she had a pout on her face. She knew that Yoko was annoyed with her but she did not want that.

On the other hand, Charlie’s concern made Amane giggle. She was glad to have someone care for her like this but it was not necessary.

"Aww, you are so cute, Charlie. I know you are worried about me and I am thankful for that. But I don’t think this will be necessary for you to be worried about me. I can take care of myself and my feelings are far from fragile."

"Besides, I want to take revenge against those who have wronged me with my own hands. There is no need for you to be worried about me."

Amane assured the divine leader but she bit her lip in agitation. She was about to agree with Yoko when Sean quickly made his way toward the trio. His face had a troubled expression on his face.
