Chapter 262 Under Attack! (1)

After the promise of giving a few more weeks to Tom, Jonathan did not disturb him. But when the weeks passed and there were still no results, he had no choice but to provide some form of encouragement to the human scientist. Having his wife hunted by ghouls should do the trick.

With that thought in his mind, he once again found himself inside the hidden laboratory, only this time Jonathan had brought his shadow assassins with him.

"Tom, 5 weeks... I gave you five weeks so please tell me you have something to show as results, for your family's sake."

Jonathan was clearly irritated and infuriated at this point and wasted no time threatening Tom. But to his surprise, Tom welcomed him inside the lab with a confident smile. It felt like Jonathan would not need to use extreme measures to 'encourage' the mad scientist.

"You're right on time, your highness." Tom enthusiastically rubbed his hands together, "I have been waiting to show you the fruits of my labour."

"Ah, very well then." Jonathan gestured to the shadows to stay behind and guard the gate while he ventured deeper into the lab.

Jonathan didn't know what to expect or what Tom meant by showing him the result, but the moment he saw Mera's clone he was confused. She looked exactly like she did before and it didn't appear if she had undergone any changes or not.

But the closer he looked at her, the more he realised why he couldn't see any changes in her. It was because she had none. Tom was trying to fool him... just the mere thought of it angered Jonathan.

He had the life of Tom's family in his hands and this fucker was thinking he could fool him?

"Is this some kind of joke to you?" Jonathan threateningly took a step toward Tom, "I warned you about what would happen if I don't-"

"Get results, I know." Tom shook his head and walked over to the pod next to them, weirdly enough, the pod itself was covered unlike anything else in the lab, "Here's your result!"

It took a moment for Jonathan to realise what was going on. The pod wasn't a pod, but a makeshift portal! This bastard was planning to escape from there, or so Jonathan thought, but it didn't make any sense.

If Tom wanted to escape, he could have easily done so before Jonathan arrived here. On top of that, he was smart enough not to pull off any hasty and half-cooked plans.

'No, this portal isn't for him to escape, but to call someone in!' Jonathan immediately took his sword out and called for the shadows and sure enough, someone was about to walk out of the portal.

"Restraint this bastard!" Jonathan yelled while pointing at Tom while he charged at the individual coming out of the portal.

He didn't bother to wait for the person to reveal themselves and swung his sword, severing the head of the person. But the next moment a hand reached out of the portal and grabbed him. Then another, and another. The hands kept on coming until he had been completely immobilised.

It wasn't just one person that was coming out of the portal, but an entire army! Watching their king being overpowered by a horde, the shadows let go of Tom and rushed ahead to save Jonathan. But before they could do much, they too were consumed by the horde.

There were only three of them and more than a thousand enemies and more were still walking out of the portal. But more than the enemies, their identity was what baffled the trio the most.

"Undead!? What are you fuckers doing here?" Jonathan blurted out and had his head immediately slammed on the ground.

"Shush," A woman dressed in black whispered before rubbing her feet on his head, "Be a good doggie and sit tight while we turn your kingdom into our kingdom."

The shadows couldn't see their king being humiliated like this and immediately lashed out. But before they even got the chance to stand back up, both of them found a gaping hole in the middle of their chests, courtesy of the same woman who cleaned her feet on Jonathan's head.

"Tch, always acting high and mighty." The woman replied before finally turning her attention to Tom, "You did a good job, my pet. Now, where is the map of the portal network I instructed you to get for me."

The crimson-skinned woman was in a great mood as her plans were being executed without any trouble.

Even though the woman was technically dead, she was the most gorgeous woman Tom had set his eyes on. Everything about her was wonderful... from her lean face and oval jaw to her bony cheeks and black lips.

Even her pale and seductive grey eyes were enough to make Tom do anything she wanted him to. He had only heard her voice till now, but now that she was standing in from of her, she wanted nothing more than to serve her.

"Right here, Servina!"

"Good, very good... It's time for your reward now, isn't it?" Servina chuckled and pulled him closer to herself and forced her black lips on his while he stood there, frozen, from both fear and excitement.

Her long slender legs wrapped themselves around him, not allowing him to get away. Tom knew the woman was nothing but trouble, he wanted to pull away before he lost himself to the pleasure.

But no matter how hard he tried he wasn't able to… In that moment of pleasure, his senses had been seduced and he could no longer think straight.

Desperate for more he leaned in a little closer, their foreheads touching. He couldn't fight against the primal urges that were going through his body.

Her very smell was like an aphrodisiac, flooding his sense of judgement. He felt as if he had achieved everything he ever desired to have... but all this only lasted for a moment.

The very next moment, when the woman parted away from the kiss, Tom's face fell faster than a corpse in cement boots. In that instant his skin became greyed, his mouth hung with his lips slightly parted and his eyes turned black and were stretched as wide as they could.

"Welcome to the family." Servina laughed while Tom flailed on the ground crying in pain as his body was forced to turn into an undead creature, "Now you won't have to worry about your family being turned into our kind."
