Chapter 299
299 EAVESDROPPING (2)
Chaos entered the room and his dark eyes met the other four creatures inside this room.
There was Norbeat, who was a soul possessor. He was currently in a little boy’s body, looked out of place and supposed to be in bed at this hour, but now he was sitting in one of the chairs, which looked too big for him, seething at Killian, who kept trying to get him into his collection.
Meanwhile, Killian was a dragon shifter. He was also a collector. He collected unique creatures and marked them as his, part of his collections, which he could summon or use as he pleased. He had this rare ability that allowed him to use his collection’s power.
That was why, he had been keeping his eyes on Norbeat, if it was not for Chaos’ warning to end his life right there and then, where he took his own soul from him, Killian would have hunted Norbeat down and made him his.
On the other side, there was Knox, he looked bored to be there along with the other three creatures whom he didn’t seem to like so much. He would prefer to be with July right now and cuddle with his woman. He was the strongest among them all, thus Killian didn’t bother him at all.
As for the last person, she was a woman with short black hair and was very quiet. Normal people or creatures that were weaker than her, wouldn’t be aware of her presence. It was Knox who managed to get in touch with her, while Killian had a hard time even finding any trace of this creature.
The four of them minded their own business until Chaos entered the room and the temperature inside dropped, as silence ensued. Somehow, they could feel there was something wrong with him.
After all, they had a little pieace of Chaos within them.
“Why did you call us over?” the woman looked at Chaos with her black eyes, as the man in question leaned his body against the wall, his long black hair tied behind his nape and he looked a little bit off.

=======================
Emily lowered her head as two girls suddenly picked a fight with her in the corridor, because she bumped into one of them.
However, it was very clear that it was not her fault, it was them, who wanted to nitpick on her, yet Emily said nothing, since it was not in her nature to start confrontation. She just decided to apologize and let them say whatever they wanted until they felt satisfied and left her alone.
Because that was always what happened, they would tire themselves out and leave after calling her a bunch of names. While Emily just needed to forget about it and go on with her life, though sometimes it hurt her.
“Do you really think it is a good thing to let them walk all over you like that?”
Emily was startled when she heard Jasmine’s voice. She raised her head and saw the woman walk toward her with four men behind. She seemed to not care about them, since they were only there to make sure that she wouldn’t go near the children or run away from here.
These were two things that wouldn’t be possible for her to do.
“If I were you, I would slap them across their faces once they started raising their voices at me,” Jasmine said, as she stood in front of Emily. She looked down on her and felt disgusted by this weak young girl.
But, no matter what, they were the only human beings in this den of wolves.
“It’s okay, I got used to it.”
Jasmine shook her head hard, she felt like she wanted to punish her for saying such a horrible thing. She was raised like a soldier with quotes like, ‘if you don’t protect yourself, who will?’ deeply ingrained in her system. And Jasmine literally lived following those words.
“No. You don’t get used to something like that.” Jasmine glared at Emily, which made her flinch. “That’s not how you should live.”
“Yeah, said a human, who was forced to birth our Alpha’s children.” One of the men mocked Jasmine, while the rest of them laughed when they heard this conversation.
From their perspective, this was very hilarious, because Jasmine was talking about how Emily had to stand up for herself, while she couldn’t do the same thing for herself.
All of them were laughing, except for one man, who didn’t show any reaction on his face. His name was Darius. He was the quietest among them.
On the other hand, Jasmine didn’t even falter nor did she look embarrassed when she faced them. She was very calm. It took more than this to rile her up. This bunch of nobodies were only guards, who had to obey their alpha’s orders.
Jasmine waited until they stopped laughing and the situation turned slightly awkward. Even under the dim light of this corridor, as the night out there was so gloomy, the awkwardness kept growing. She also noticed Darius’ reaction.
“Are you done laughing?” Jasmine asked them lightly. She looked them, one by one, right in the eyes. “This human is someone that you need to protect, because if I am hurt, you need to take responsibility before your alpha.”
“Do you think the alpha will care!?” The one who laughed at Jasmine shouted back at her. His voice echoed throughout this corridor.
“Do you think he will kill me?” Jasmine scoffed. “He wants me to pop another puppy, who later on will become your alpha or anyone with a higher position, someone that you have to serve, just like how you are serving me now.”
This fact had never been spoken before and they didn’t even realize the gravity of the situation until Jasmine mentioned it.
It was right, though they despised her, the children that were born to her were the children of the alpha as well, which meant, they would be someone that they should respect.
“Why so surprised? Did your stupid mind kick in just now?” Jasmine laughed and then took Emily’s hand to walk past them.
They wouldn’t dare to hurt her, since they were bound by their duty, which made her free to taunt them.
“Next time, don’t intervene when I am talking.”
And after saying that, Jasmine walked away from them with Emily walking close to her.
The girl looked at Jasmine with admiration for being able to shut them down, even though their position was completely unfavorable. How she could turn the tables around was something that Emily couldn’t have imagined she would be able to do.
“That’s how you shut them out.” Jasmine glanced at Emily and the girl immediately lowered her head again, which made Jasmine narrow her eyes. It seemed the girl must be dealt a huge blow, so she could get her mind straight.
Jasmine hated it when she saw a weakling like her.
They were in the den of the enemies and she portrayed how weak humans were, which made Jasmine’s blood boil in anger.
Emily didn’t need to act like that, the people around them already thought of them as someone weak.
======================
Zuri climbed down the stairs and followed the scent that led her to a particular room, the door of which was slightly ajar, where she could see Norbeat’s face scrunched up.
Not only that, she also caught another familiar scent, which made her furrow her brows.
Knox? She was sure that it was his scent inside. It had been years since the last time they met with each other, as she travelled with Chaos all the time.
But, what was he doing here and what were they talking about?
In the end, Zuri’s curiosity got the better of her, as she crept closer to eavesdrop on their conversation. She moved very slowly to the door and was very thankful to her ability to move very smoothly.
From behind the door, she could hear what they were talking about without any problem, since her ears were very sensitive.
“Are you crazy? Is she worthy for you to make chaos in the underworld and release all those dark creatures?!” there was this woman’s voice, which was very shrilly and made Zuri scrunch her brows. “She is not worth it.”
“Just because she can help you to find your other shattered souls, doesn’t mean she is very special. What made her so special until you didn’t even hesitate to chase her to the underworld and bring her back? I don’t understand.” Zuri recognized this voice. It was Killian. He had this smug and arrogant vibe in the way he talked. “What do you want now? Asking us to take back all the dark creatures that you have released?”
“Yes.” Chaos’ voice sounded so deep and serious.
“I don’t want to run around this realm just to hunt them down,” Kilian rejected the idea.
“You don’t need to,” Chaos replied curtly. “They will come for her.”
“What do you mean by that?” The woman’s voice echoed inside the room. She seemed so riled up with this idea. She even seemed to hate it so much.
And it was Knox, who explained why those dark creatures would come looking for Zuri because of the way Chaos protected her.
“We just need to get rid of her then,” the woman concluded simply.
“Should I get rid of all of you too since you are worthless to me unless you did what I told you?” Chaos snapped at her. “And it is not good to eavesdrop.”
