The Dragon’s Embodiment

s on her back, her tail straightened, like Lynx was having shivers being sent to her core.

”Oh, seems like the two of you are enjoying PB&J, yeah? You can always ask for seconds. ”

”Yes, thanks for the food. Anyway, lets get on the topic. ”

Esecleus sat down on the other end of the glass table, sitting down on a single sofa and crossing his legs as he took a sip of his coffee.

”This morning we received an email from the father of the deceased Vylan. He asked us a few questions when we arrived at his office and sent us to your house to talk to you next. ”

Esecleus was kind of expecting Vylans father to make his move, but it was so soon. Well, it does not really matter to him since he wished for this.

”And the two of you are here since the two of you do not know my number, correct? But they could have just used their power to get my number and directly contact me. Sending the two of you here interrupted my slumber. ”

”We
e very sorry about that, but we were just following orders from them. ”

”In our contracts, it stated that if the guild leader is killed or had died, they will become under the supervision of Vylans father. ”

Ihra and Ahri were not aware that Esecleus contract was different from theirs. Now, he is not bound by the hands of Vylans family and has become a free man once again. Working under Vylan for five years taught him many things he needed to learn.

”I am now free of the leash while your leash was passed onto a much cruel owner. How much longer do the two of you have before your contracts end? ”

Lynx finally got hungry. She jumped off the floor and went to fill her stomach with her favorite snack.

”Our contract is about to end. We have, like, less than a month. ”

Ahri does not talk that much. It was all Ihra who did the talking. His other half would speak when she deemed it necessary.

”Hmm, quite unfortunate, Id say. You two might come across my path these coming days. But lets not talk about that since I know the two of you already know. Darius, Vylans father, is suspecting me of wiping out the whole Lions Mane guild, right? But I didn kill them. ”

The twins knew exactly what Esecleus meant by coming across him. And if the accusation of him killing his guild members and leader. Then they are kind of afraid to deal with him.

For a lone man to wipe out a top guild, Esecleus is someone not to be underestimated.

Ihra leaned his back and comfortably sat on the sofa.

”Sir Darius wants to meet you, Esecleus. Tomorrow… He wants to meet you tomorrow. ”

When the conversation ended, Ihra and Ahri drank the remaining black coffee in their cup out a respect for the hospitable manner of Esecleus. He was accommodating and kind.

”Thats all we have to say. ”

The twins got up from their seats.

”Thank you for the breakfast, ” Ahri demurely said, slightly bowing her head to Esecleus. ”We will be taking our leave. Be careful, Esecleus—always. ”

”Tell Darius I got the message. ”

When they were about the door, Esecleus called out to them.

”Oh, and learn to refuse next time. It won hurt to do so. ”

Simple yet meaningful. Esecleus left them with the advice they would need in the near future.

”We will, and thank you again. ”

Esecleus threw himself back on his soft and relaxing bed, lying on his stomach. He sighed, feeling sleepy and all.

Just when he was about to close his eyes to sleep for another few hours, another three consecutive knocks on his door irritatingly echoed in his ears. His earlier sigh turned into a pissed groan.

”No ones home! He went out and slept! ”

When he didn tend to the door, another couple of knocks reverberated.

”Ugh! Why can people leave each other alone?! ”

Lazily, he got up and angrily opened the door. And to his surprise, the vice-chief of the Hunters Organization paid him a visit along with his trustworthy men.

Esecleus already has an idea why the vice chief himself had gone to his house. Among the members of the Hunters Organization, those of high position, only Vice-Chief Wright saw the potential in Esecleus and completely understood him.

”How was your sleep? ”

”It was shit. I was supposed to wake up later but got woken up by the twins. ”

”Hahaha! Sounds like a pain. Sorry to intrude on your peaceful day, then. ”

”No worries, vice-chief. I completely understand why you
e here. ”
