New law of Beast Taming

Everyone was startled when Amane started to crack down in laughter in front of them. She looked as if she had lost her mind, but she was just finding this situation funny.

"What is so funny about this situation, Yoko Tsurugi? I do not think you realize what I am saying right now. You will be removed from your seat as the clan head starting now."

Elder Hana sounded pissed off and her eyes were shaking. She could not believe what she was seeing happening in front of her eyes. Continue your adventure at freewebnovel

Not only had the Tsurugi leader laughing like she had lost her mind, but she was also not paying any respect to the elders of her clan. If this news went out, then it would ruin their clan's reputation.

"Ah, do you think I fear being removed from my position as the family head? You can go ahead and do what you want to. I am not scared of your threats."

Amane spoke out in a calm voice. Her words caused all elders to grit their teeth. She was being too much right now.

"Ah, you foolish girl. Fine then, you can go away now. You no longer have the authority to do anything. Guards, hurry up and take her away."

Master Hana was at the end of her patience. He quickie called for the guards but no one answered.

And not only she, but the guards also did not come for anyone when called. It was almost as if they had not spoken at all.

"W-What is going on? Why are the guards not coming to take you all away?"

Master Hana questioned in a scared voice. She could not even imagine what had gone wrong here.

But Amane just chuckled at her worried expression. Things were going the way Amane wanted them to.

"Hmm, are you scared why the guards are not coming even after you called for them? The answer is simple - I ordered them not to come. At this point, the guards prioritize my authority over yours."

"So go ahead and fire me all you want to. I assure you that the real loser here would be you without a doubt."

Amane's gloating caused the elders to clench their fists. But they could also not deny her words when the proof was in front of them.

In the end, they had to calm down and rethink their order to take her authority away.

Chief Hao watched this all happen with a sharp eye. He had decided not to get involved thus far but he was not being left with a choice.

"Chief, I do not think we should make her an enemy until we have something solid against her. I do not think Yoko Tsurugi is as simple to control as her uncle was."

Elder Cornia's words were certainly true. Yoko Tsurugi's eyes had that glint of mischief and danger that warned people about going after her.

"Hmm, you are right. We cannot underestimate this girl at all costs."

Chief Hao did not like his options. But he did know when to retreat. And this was certainly the time to do so.

"Elder Hana, Elder Dao, calm down. We have not gathered here to discuss if Lady Yoko is the current family head or not. We are just worried about the security issue at the Tsurugi main house and wished to inquire about it."

Amane's eyes narrowed as soon as she noticed this shift in tone. And she was not the only one surprised by this.

Those who had not realized how much damage Amane could do were surprised that their Chief had decided to go with the pacifist route in this negotiation.

"Well, thank you for worrying about me but I do not need your help. And it seems like you did not get the full information out of your spies. The intruder of last night was caught and disposed of already. So, there is no need to worry."

Many of the elders frowned as soon as they heard Amane's words. They did not believe what she had said to them.

Not only had their report been missing this critical information, but it also specifically said that the intruder had escaped.

"Lady Yoko, are you sure about the intruder? You are not saying this to gas-light us, right?"

One of the unknown elders asked this question and Amane grinned in his direction.

"Oh, I am serious alright. But if you have anything to say against my words, please go ahead. But please, bring proof with you before you start making accusations against me, alright?"

In the end, the elder backed down. He did not want to reveal his cards just yet. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Besides, what kind of fool would admit to spying on their family head? It was like painting a giant 'SUS' sigh on one's head.

"Now then, if you all are done here, I would like to head out now. I hope you have a pleasant day ahead."

Amane watched as everyone behind her held their heads down. They seemed agitated but it was nothing compared to the fury Amane was feeling inside her cards.

These people were making a fool out of her. Did they seriously think that Amane would not stay behind like a kid and hide from their looks?

"Lady Yoko, you have a guest waiting for you right now. I directed Lady Ely to the common guest room but it would be wise for you to hurry up."

Amane was surprised to hear this.

Ely Zhen was the last person she expected to visit her. Especially in such a tense atmosphere when everyone was against her.

"Alright, I understand. Make sure you serve her well until I come down. I need to change out of my clothes."

Amane gestured toward the heavy robes she had been wearing. They looked good on her but they were also uncomfortable. Something easier to move in would be preferred by her.

But of course, when you were having a bad day, everything you did was ruined.

Amane had only entered her house when her eyes met a pair of silver ones. And then she took in the green hair and a kind-looking face.

"Lady Yoko, I am sorry that I came to visit you out of the blue. I was in the vicinity and decided to drop by. Were you planning on going out right now?"

Amane was confused for a second but then she realized that it was her attire that caused this confusion.

"I just returned from my errand. I was heading toward my room to change into something more comfortable. You can wait in the guest room for me while I change, Miss Zhen."

Amane offered Ely this but Ely looked conflicted. Something complicated flashed across Ely's eyes before she managed to gather her courage and ask for what she wanted.

"M-Miss Yoko, if you will not mind, can I accompany you to your room? I would like to have a talk with you in private."

Amane was startled at Ely's words. She had not expected Ely to ask this of her. And especially not in such a daring manner.

She was about to refuse Ely when she stopped and looked around.

Her servants were looking at Ely like she was an intruder they wanted out. And Amane could see why this would get tough to endure for the fragile-looking female.

'I will have to ask my staff to behave more professionally with my acquaintance in the future. But for now, I guess I do not have a choice but to let Ely accompany me.'

"Alright Lady Ely. Please follow me for now so that we can get to your room. I hope it would not be a problem for you to wait in my room."

Lady Ely perked up suddenly. Her happy expression covered her face and she also seemed to be glowing. Amane had to cover her eyes to stop herself from going blind.

"Of course, it is alright, Yoko. I-I mean, it is not a problem for me if we head to your room. I wanted to see it for a long time as well."

Suddenly, Amane had a feeling she was making a mistake taking Ely to her room. Her staff also shit alarmed looks toward her but Amane had already given her permission. She could not possibly take it back now.

They both entered Amane's room and the servants decided to camp outside for now.

Amane took a seat and asked Lady Ely to sit down on her couch as well. Ely did sit down, but she looked a little distracted right now. Her eyes moved from Amane to the room and then back.

"Is everything alright, Lady Ely? You look a little nervous while being here."

Amane was beginning to feel a headache coming and she tried to suppress it. But waking up early along with having to deal with the elders had taken a toll on her.

She looked at Lady Ely and the other female had a determined look in her eyes suddenly.
