Plundering in the Apocalypse

Seeing the fading silhouette of Shin and Alice walking in a distance Aurora's lips curled up into a smile. From start to end, she had her face hidden in the robe.

'They never asked me to reveal my face.' Aurora had a good impression of them.

Although Shin was a little interested, not because he wanted to see her beautiful face. Because she was a Damphir. A different species mix of humans and vampires.

He was only curious about her.

Though he wanted to have a good relationship with vampires. He didn't rush it. These things should proceed slowly.

So after exchanging contacts and inviting them to visit Aston city they left the dungeon. Leaving the grinning Aurora and a frowning Emily behind.

'We will meet soon~'

***

Time passed quickly. Aurora and Emily were drinking tea inside a hotel close to the dungeon after confirming there were no tails.

Tring~

Suddenly Emily's phone rang. After picking up the call and silently listening to the call Emily replied in a cold voice.

"Keep up the surveillance. If you miss anyone, then be ready to die without a complete body."

*Tap* Hang up.

Emily turned to Aurora and lowered her head as she respectfully relayed the information.

"My lady, the Hyunja group has started acting up. They have increased the security and gathered a lot of powerful awakeneds. Also, some local organizations are helping them. With their support, the Hyunja group is becoming more presumptuous."

"Everything is going according to plan. Most of the senior executives are inside the premises of their establishment in Polaris city. They are spending a lot of manpower to catch me."

"Because of the earlier act to leak my information and the airplane incident. Everything is set in motion. All of them are gathered in one place. We can proceed on your command."

After saying that Emily just quietly waited for her master's command with a lowered head.

"So those fools think that just by adding a bunch of thrash and hiding like rats they can protect themselves from me." Aurora's voice was extremely cold. It was completely different from her sweet and soft tone before.

She continued as she asked in a flat tone.

"Everything is ready?"

"Yes, my lady." Emily nodded in affirmation.

Aurora checked her watch, it was 7 p.m. Bloodlust emitted from her body as she mumbled. "Tomorrow, there won't exist any Hyunja group. I'll... eradicate their family from all the generations."

Her voice was somewhat shaky as she said that. Not knowing whether it was because of anger or some pain. But it felt like she was holding back herself from crying.

"You go and confirm if all their escape routes are blocked or not. We will attack them in an hour." Aurora commanded with her voice full of rage.

Emily nodded and gave a slight bow as she left the room. After closing the door she sighed and wiped the sweat on her forehead.

'Pitiful Hyunja group, although my lady is a nice and caring person, when it comes to dealing with her enemies she becomes very ruthless.'

'Well, this is what they deserve.'

'Fufu~ I guess I'll drink a lot of fresh blood today~'

Thinking of this her depressed mood became happy and she hurried to complete her task.

***

Inside the room, Aurora was silently standing there and the mood was very solemn. She slowly took out a locket from her neck, and as she flipped it open there was a photo inside it.

As she saw the photo a rare smile formed on her face as her lips trembled in an inexplicable emotion.

In the photo were a pale man and a beautiful woman holding a small child close to her bosom. The child had silver hair and her eyes were closed. But it was obvious from a glance that it was a loving family.

Aurora took off her hood as a beautiful face came into view. Beautiful silvery hair and a doll-like face with a hint of royalty in it.

Her eyes were moist in emotion, her brave face holding back her tears solemnly looking at the small picture in the locket. She was like a fragile piece of glass that will break with a single touch.

Her lips trembled as she muttered in a shaky voice.

"... M-mom... D-dad... I miss y-" she stopped herself from saying that. She closed her eyes tightly and reopened them. This time her eyes were firm and full of rage. Her voice became cold again.

"Today, I'll take another step to avenge you."

She flipped the locket close and sat on the chair controlling her emotions.

Every time it's like this. This rage and revenge are the only driving force that has supported her all this way. That kept her from being led astray from her goal.

She closed her eyes recalling her past.

On the other side, Shin and Alice returned to their hotel room and took a shower.

Coming out of the bathroom with his still-wet hair Shin said.

"Haah, that was great."

Getting no reply from Alice he frowned and glanced at her.

"What's the matter with you? Why are you in a sulky mood now?"

With a 'hmph' she looked at him with a 'seriously you don't know?' look.

Shin smiled wryly. He does have an idea about what this is. But it's better to act ignorant and ask yourself.

"If you won't tell me then how would I know." He said lightly with a warm smile on his face.

Alice snorted seeing that fake smile.

"Fine, I'll say this. Weren't you getting along with those bit*hes?"

"What do you have to say about this?"

She was a little angry at him because she wasn't getting much of his attention.

"Well, you do know, right? I want to establish good relations with vampires." He tried to explain very gently.

For a moment Alice was influenced by his charming smile. But she shook her head to control herself. 'What a trap!'

"What do you even want from those human-shaped mosquitoes?"

"Do you like getting your blood sucked? If so tell me. I will do that for you."

"Huh?"

Shin face-palmed. What nonsense are we discussing? Thinking that he decisively changed the topic.

"I wanted to ask you where you want to go tomorrow. I wanted to go out and have fun with you. But I guess you are not in the mood."

"Who said that?" Alice exclaimed loudly.

"I want to go, why would I not? Let's go, there are a lot of good places to visit."

Alice was so excited that she forgot about her previous grievances.

Shin smiled seeing her reaction.

"Oh, is that so? I don't have any idea. Can you tell me where should we go? My dear Alice."

"Fufu~ fret not when, I, your lovely wife is here." Alice took out a brochure from her soul space and showed it to Shin.

"I have planned everything right here." She showed it with a smug look.

Shin was surprised that she even kept that brochure in her soul space. But when he saw that brochure an inexplicable emotion emerged inside him.

There were tags and many places were highlighted. Different timing to visit them and a lot of timely plans were there.

Shin saw Alice has planned them for all timings. So that they can have fun whenever they are free.

Seeing Shin silently looking at the plans without saying a word Alice got somewhat nervous.

"Is the plan not good? If you want we can go however you wish."

Shin's eyes flickered as he smiled gently and said.

"No, let's go with this. You take the lead. Let's have some fun."

Alice was very excited as she said.

"Okay then, let's go to the Night market. The lights in the nighttime illuminating the whole market is very beautiful."

Shin was pulled by Alice as they got ready to go out.

Shin saw that Alice had already prepared a dress for both of them. For her a beautiful white dress with a flower pattern on it and for him a white shirt with the same pattern as her skirt, and denim jeans.

"When did you prepare this?" Shin asked.

Not noticing his expression Alice replied.

"Huhu~ I've been prepared. Just in case we get to go out."

"Aren't I nice?" She asked her chin held high.

"Yes, you are," Shin replied.

"Okay, I'll go change. Wait for me." Saying that she took her dress to change into them.

Shin just silently stood there with a guilty heart.

'I didn't even think about her feelings and was just worried about my plans. She is adjusting herself as per my needs. She just wanted to go out with me and have fun and here, I didn't even think about that.'

'She was so looking forward to going out with me and my mind was full of plans for the dungeons and future. Even after our today's goal was achieved, I didn't even think about enjoying myself.'

'I should take some time off from these things. Enjoying this trip with Alice might be the perfect way.'

With some enthusiasm, he got dressed up ready to enjoy their time here.
