New law of Beast Taming

Finally, the time for Amane to act was here again. She had been looking forward to this time and her trap was ready.

Both Sakura and Eclipse were in position as well and Amane just had to do what she had planned for herself - to get into the bed and sleep.

Well, pretend to sleep so that the intruder would hurry up and enter her territory. As soon as that was done, Amane would wake up and catch the intruder.

She was sure that the elder council had not bought her excuse of having captured the intruder. But they could not come out and accuse her of lying as well. There was a lack of evidence on their side.

However, today Amane decided to put an end to it all.

The night was half-way over and Amane was disappointed that nothing was happening. The council seemed to have changed their minds about attacking tonight.

Amane was about to fall asleep for real when she felt something changing around her. She felt her magic respond and she was up before the alarm could even ring.

Something had caused the sensors to trigger and Amane was sure that it was the intruder from yesterday.

She quickly made her way toward the triggered sensors and then followed the general direction of the detection magic. She was easily able to catch up to the intruder.

Since Amane's magic cloaked her presence, the intruder did not notice that he had someone tailing him so closely. He was busy taking in everything the Tsurugi mansion had to offer.

Amane closed in on the intruder enough to use her magic to form a rope-like bind. And she used it to trip the intruder.

The intruder had not seen that trap coming so he was easily caught. The rope Amane had used was something she used to train beasts. So, it knew what it needed to do and where.

The intruder was unable to move a single inch once he was captured.

"Hmm, looking at your skill level, you are not the person from yesterday. Then, are you someone the council decided to throw toward the wolves? It would not surprise me to see that." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Amane questioned as she poked the man's face. It seemed to be engraving the intruder and he tried to bite Amane's hand. But she pulled her finger back before the intruder could do anything to her.

There was a look of disgust aimed at the intruder's way when he tried to bite Amane.

"Hey, know your place. Do you know how costly this one finger of mine is? You will never be able to repay the debt if you injure me."

Amane might have said this in a joking manner, but she was not joking around. If she was hurt unnecessarily, she would make the other party pay for her treatment.

"They said that you were a weakling who did not know what she is doing. What about you struck your people as a weakness?"

The intruder asked as he looked at Amane. He could not believe that this small female had taken him out.

Her looks made her out to be fragile and easy to dominate. But nothing about this female was 'soft and fragile' in hir opinion. She was a force to be reckoned with.

Especially with the tightly held aura she had. The intruder had yet to meet anyone stronger than this female in front of him. Explore hidden tales at freewebnovel

"Well, what can I say to you except that your employer was wrong? But you still have a choice to denounce them and come to my side. Otherwise, I will have to take strict action against you."

Amane's words caused the intruder to shiver. Suddenly, he was sure that the best decision would be to take Amane's hand. It was one decision he would not regret making.

*Ring*

Amane was sure she had convinced this person to side with her and her phone rang at that exact moment.

It was Sakura and Amane quickly picked the phone up.

"Sakura, we captured an intruder on our side as well. But I doubt it is the one we are looking for. Did you get the intruder as well?"

Somehow, Amane was not surprised that Sakura had caught an intruder as well. The council must have decided to send more than one intruder to ensure things do not go smoothly for Amane.

But the joke was on that. Amane had already prepared for such an outcome and she had been ready to take charge of such a situation.

"Sakura, come and retrieve the intruder from my side as well. It is time I go and greet our main guest for the night."

Amane did not have any proof yet but she was sure that the intruder from the last night had managed to sneak in tonight as well.

And since Amane's gut feeling was so strong, she decided to go with it. She opened the gate and entered the poison drake's pen.

The drake yelped happily after seeing Amane but its sharp eyes were looking at the surroundings of the pen. It seemed as if the drake had noticed a disturbance in its surroundings as well.

"Well, you might as well come out now. Even this kit can sense your presence. Hiding is meaningless now."

Amane reminded the intruder, having felt a faint presence in the room as well.

Well, presence was not the right word for this situation. The better term would be to say - Amane could smell the intruder from yesterday.

Slowly, footsteps became audible and a dark figure stood in front of Amane. This figure was covered from head to toe in a black fiber and the way they dressed made it impossible to guess their gender.

"Well, what can I help you with? I am sure there must be something you want from me?"

Amane spoke slowly and with a confident voice. She was asserting dominance already and she did not want this intruder to think that Amane was an easy target.

The intruder did not say anything to her. All he did was observe her and the way she behaved with the poison drake.

The drake did not like the way it was being looked at and tried to take a bite out of the intruder. But Amane put a hand on the drake's head to calm it down. Then, she looked back at the intruder in front of her.

"So, what do you say? Are you going to tell me why you are here or not?"

Amane asked lazily. But her mana was surging and it was held ready for attack. She was going to harm this intruder if he did not give Amane a reason to calm down.

Finally, the intruder seemed to snap out of his daze and realized that they were in danger. They took a few steps back before dashing Amane's throat.

Amane had expected that attack and she calmly waited for the intruder to approach her and then attacked.

Her chop managed to break the intruder's arm but the intruder showed no signs of worry.

Instead, Amane could even see satisfaction in those inhuman eyes and she suddenly had a bad feeling about it.

The intruder threw its whole body against Amane and that was an unexpected action. Amane was not able to counter it and she felt the weight of a body against her.

'Heavy and inhuman.'

That was the first thought Amane had when she tried to push the body away from her.

The feeling she got when she pushed this heavy body off her own was not of skin and muscles, but of metallic substances. This intruder might have been nothing more than a puppet made to mess with her.

Amane gritted her teeth in anger and tried to suppress her actions.

'So, what if this intruder she had been chasing after was artificially made? She could still know a lot from checking it out.'

However, Amane's nerves did not calm down even after she had taken this intruder down. They seemed to be warning her about something.

The body beneath Amane's hand seemed to be heating up. There was also a distant buzzing sound that made Amane suspicious of what was going on.

In the end, it was the inaudible vibration that gave it away. Amane felt the body beneath her handshake before it exploded. Amane was lucky that she managed to shield herself and the poison drake in time.

"What a lunatic. They knew that they were going to get discovered, so they took countermeasures to ensure nothing leaked out from their side. This is such a messy situation."

Especially if you count the council, this situation looked irreparable to Amane.

But she at least had the proof needed that the intruder from yesterday and today had been killed off. That could make the council back off.

"This sucks. Well, at least I managed to catch the council's intruders. That would shut their mouths for the time being."

Amane hated to use her hidden cards so early, but she will do it anyway.
