New law of Beast Taming

Sherina was at a loss for what to do. She could not reject Lady Suzuki’s offer because she was the one who had proposed these conditions.

And Charlie knew that she had Sherina where she wanted the elder to be. She only had to push a little bit more to make Sherin break down completely. But that was not what she was here to do.

"Now that we have agreed, I will send you an official proposal. I expect you to take a complete look at it and send me the good news. Well then, I will see you around."

Charlie quickly walked away from Sherina. And the human was still looking uncomfortably at Lady Suzuki’s retreating.

"My lady, what should I do for you? Lady Suzuki has already left the scene and-"

"Shut up! I do not want to hear anything. This is not good. If Charlie Suzuki ends up proposing to Yoko, then I cannot reject her. Socially, she is the best match Yoko can have and they are friends as well."

"If this happens and I reject this match, then everyone would be certain that I have a motive behind this marriage with Chen."

Sherina’s heart was flip-flopping inside her chest quickly. Even her breath was getting heavier by the second.

She had a lot she wanted to do but none of it made much sense to her right now.

"A-Anyway, I need to contact Chen. Hurry up and get me my phone."

The maid did not see how this would help her master out. But since this was asked by her master, she did not dare to complain about it.

......

When Amane walked down toward the dining room the next morning, she did not bother freshening up. Her servants were used to seeing her in various clothing and states of undressing so they did not mind.

Moreover, even if they noticed the marks and other marks on Amane’s body, they did not say anything to her.

It was more likely that these marks were a result of beast interaction rather than sexual intercourse.

’Speaking of beasts. I should visit Moony as well. I have been here for one night and have not gone back to my room. I wonder how Moony is doing right now. Is her transformation going well?’

From what Amane knew, the transformation would take some time and the second stage was one that should be performed alone. So, she did not want to accidentally break Moony’s concentration.

Her wing also started to smell of a highly possessive dragon hatchling who was about to become an adult. Amane did not want to accidentally walk into the corridor and break Moony’s concentration.

"Yoko, you are finally here. Do you know how long you kept me waiting for? I was getting bored and was about to come and get you."

Charlie sat down at the guest seating but her manner and aura made it seem as if she was at home. She looked at Amane with a certain feeling in her eyes and gestured for her to sit down.

"How long have you been waiting for me to come down, Charlie? You should have sent someone else to get me."

Amane complained but she sat down as well. Enjoy more content from freewebnovel

"I could have sent someone to get you. But the aura of your wing is tense. I can feel the possessiveness of the dragon oozing out of every pore and I did not want to disturb the serenity of your place with an unfamiliar smell mixing in."

Since Charlie had animal-like senses as well, she was easily able to tell what other beasts were feeling. And she knew how irritating it could be for a young and maturing hatchling to have their place invaded.

"That is a fair enough point. So, what brings you here? I hope this is just a social visit and there is not something wrong you need my help with."

Amane was joking around when she said these words. But Charlie fell quiet when she heard Amane speak before she looked away.

"Well, I won’t exactly say that my visit here is based on ’bad news’ but I do still need your help in investigating something."

"You know that our guild handles some criminal cases and we have our detention center? Recently, people have started to disappear from that detention center and we have no idea where they are disappearing into."

Charlie seemed concerned when she said these words and Amane could not find any hint of lies in her voice.

She knew about the divine guild’s detention center since she had spent time there in the past. She had also unified that place and bonded with the people there.

’I wonder if that place retained any of the secrets I left behind? But maybe it all got changed when it was repaired. I am getting ahead of myself now.’

"So, you are concerned about these people disappearing? This is a big matter indeed. Especially since the security is tight around the detention center and it is impossible to get out of there."

Amane was remembering all the mischief she had caused. So, she did not notice how Charlie frowned and looked at Amane with tired eyes.

"Yoko, why do you sound as if you have been to that place before? I was not aware that you had such crude hobbies to end up in a detention center."

Charlie teased Amane and the younger one tensed up before letting out a nervous laugh.

"Hahaha, of course, I have not been there before. But I have read about that place a lot and I can imagine what kind of place it is based on my imagination alone."

Amane had almost made a big slip-up there. But thankfully, Charlie did not seem to catch on to the real meaning of her words.

"Well, even if you have not visited the detention center before, it is not time for you to do so. You will need to go undercover and investigate what is going on."

Charlie was giving this responsibility to Amane and she was ready to fulfill it to the best of her duties.

"Yoko, what are you planning on doing this time? You are not thinking of leaving me behind, right?"

Sakura was awake as well and she quickly walked toward the sofa as well. She threw her body between Charlie and Amane’s to force them to separate.

Charlie shook her head when she looked at Sakura. She was letting Amane know to not bring Sakura with her.

No matter how powerful Sakura had gotten, she was still not mature enough to enter a place like the Divine Guild’s detention center. Especially because of all the high-ranking criminals that were found there. She would become the victim of someone’s schemes sooner or later.

"Sakura, you are not coming with me to this investigation. Before you ask, no, this is not negotiable and this is not something I will take my stand back on. You are not coming with me."

Sakura pouted as soon as she heard this. She knew that this would be the outcome of her trying to persuade Yoko and trying to go with her.

’But I am not going to back out so easily. I will find a way to sneak into that prison.’

......

"Have you not had enough humans for your experiment? You are a goddess! Why do you even need humans for what you are about to do?"

Sean looked at the humans who walked into the portal created by Hortencia and he sighed.

The goddess said that she was holding herself back from destroying everything, but Sean doubted it. To him, it mostly looked as if the goddess was having fun with human lives.

"Aww, don’t be so tense, little human. These humans were destined to die sooner or later. I am just doing them a favour and making their death have a meaning."

The goddess assured Sean of this as she watched another human walk into the portal. Today she had taken two more humans but it did not feel as if this was enough.

What she needed was more power and these humans were not enough for her.

"Tsk, this detention centre is not a place you can just walk into and start taking people away from. I respect you because Lady Kori asked me to. Otherwise, I would not care for you at all."

Sean reminded the goddess but she did not even look concerned. She looked at Sean as if it did not matter to her what he thought of her.

"Kid, you can think and do what you want to and I will do the same for myself. Now, if that much is clear to you, then stop trying to distract me. My gauge is almost full and the time for the experiment to conclude will come soon as well."

Hortencia closed the gate of her portal once she had enough people in there. She had collected enough people for this time.

Sean looked at the people Hortencia was about to harvest with a sad sigh. He hated to see them all die, but he had no other choice but to follow Kori’s will as well.

"Lady Hortencia, you will have your retribution soon. If you are not careful, then you will die a death far more painful than you imagined."

Sean reminded the goddess, only to get scoffed at by her.

"As if any human has what it takes to kill me. But what I do know is that the flame I am waiting for will be here soon. I just need to hold on a little longer."
