As I watched my spear pierced through the lion man's throat whose name I didn't know, I felt a terrible headache as the consequences for controlling someone whose cultivation was in higher stage than me and doesn't accept me.

When I closed my eyes I could see that the wooden part of the hourglass had a crack, gradually the crack recovered just like me when I am injured. Pieces of the broken wooden part of the hourglass shows up from the darkness that surrounding the hourglass and went into the crack, when the crack finally recover to it's original form my headache which should have recovered in one second finally vanished.

I stood up from my kneeling position that I took because of the sudden outburst of pain when my hourglass cracked. I looked at the lion man who is back to his human form with a hole on his neck which is gushing out a lot of blood and the cheetah woman who went back to her human form probably because she fainted.

I took out a bottle of a sickly green powder and I pour some on the lion man's corpse, after a while a green smokes rises up and only his clothes with my spear was left.

I carefully take a look at the transparent bottle that Is containing this vicious powder and I remembered what Aria said ' Michael, remember even if you are going out to play you have to be careful and if you ACCIDENTLY kill someone in an emergency situation pour some of this powder into them, okay!'. Damn this thing work like a magic, well considering what we are doing is more or less is magic. I put the bottle, retractable spear, and lion man's clothes on my bag.

I looked at the unconscious busty woman who want to kidnap me, I decided to interrogate her so I took her and placed her on my shoulder while I sneakily took her to the building that Aria bought and renovated using the back alley and roof jumping to avoid people seeing me.

I took the cheetah woman to the second floor where there are a lot of rooms unlike the first floor where we usually trained which was empty and painted with grey.

I picked a random unused room and when I opened it I was surprised to see a bed on the middle of the room, then I curiously opened the next unused room and the next, the next I concluded that every room on the second floor maybe contain a bed.

So I used the nearest room from me who just finished investigating the second floor, I opened the door and unsurprisingly there is a bed on the middle of the room.

I placed the woman on the floor before I stabbed her on her thigh and smeared some of my blood into it, then I took out a rope which I know won't be able to hold her down but it will hold her for a sec and tied her on the bed. Satisfied with my work I closed my eyes to see a faint connection between me and the cheetah woman that attached itself on the empty spot beside the eagle spot.

I waited for the woman to wake up, while I was thinking why would they kidnap me and for who. The first question was rather easy to answer as the lion man said himself it's for experiment but who…?


Soon I noticed the woman moved which she tried to hide but still I noticed so I decided to speak " you can continue to pretend but listen to me. You might notice that I tied you with a rope that you can break easily even without transforming" at this point the woman opened her eyes and on her blue eyes appeared a fierce will.

" you might or might not notice but I already plant a way so that if you resist I can restrict you" the fierce will is till visible in her eyes so I will try to calm it down first.

"you might or might not believe but I already killed your partner and take care of his corpse" as if showing the proof I took out the lion man's clothes and throw it at the woman.

"if you didn't believe me try to transform and smell it" she transformed into the cheetah and smell it, immediately hatred shows up on her face.

Curious I approach her and asked "Is he your lover or family?" it seem my guess was correct as the hatred on her eyes intensify.

Then for the first time I hear her voice close up "he is my brother!"

I suddenly slapped her ass and she weirdly seem scared and turned back on her own, with a frightened look on her face, she looked up toward me. Interesting so I asked to test thing "what's your name"

She answered rather fast and respectful "my name is Melinda Ailuros, sir"

I became more curios as I ask "are you a virgin?" I tried a more personal question to test her more.

With a rather shaky voice she answered "y..yes, sir"

"can you tell me who hired you to kidnap me?"

She respond rather fiercely, she shakes her head like a child and refused to respond. If it were not for the situation and her frightened face this scene would be adorable.

"then can you tell me where you are form"

"the Ailuros clan"

"then can you tell me the purpose of the experiment which you have to kidnap me for?"

She repeated her previous weird behaviour that indicate she refused. Then I spoke with a cheerful voice that made her rather surprised "good, then today you are going to be 'free' and I will make sure to take care of you.
