Chapter 99 Hunch About Hecate's Husband
[The WN system is not allowing me to edit previous chapter. Apologies.]
Zoravec was sure that threatening the demoness would definitely help in submitting her to the demand. He walked closer to her while glaring with his crimson eyes and took baby steps towards her. Devi was crouched down on the floor with her stunned eyes staring back at Zoravec.
He could guess it without any doubt that she was scared of him now. It was evident from her stuttering and horror struck eyes that she had no clue about his doings. Zoravec seized the chance to scare her even further so she will comply and offer something to him all by herself.
"What if…what if I do that work you mentioned earlier?"
Devi immediately said those words which he wanted to hear, Zoravec smiled at her as his fangs shrank. He knew it was enough to scare her and make the demoness submit. After all, the blood pact had its perks in that matter and resulted in what he wished for.
His eyes stopped glowing and returned back to normal, it relieved Devi that he might have understood her. Perhaps he had decided to give her another chance to prove herself. Zoravec tucked his arms over his chest and made sure that Devi will hear him out calmly and carefully.
"You are going with me to the army."
Zoravec told her bluntly saying that she will join him, there was no asking her permission. The words left Devi confused as a few lines creased over her face as she looked at him blankly. That could not be the task he was talking about. Right?
The demoness grasped her senses and made sure that she would ask her the question without sounding assertive. She was sure that now anything she would say might come out as wrong. Devi wanted to ask him something but hesitated, however she complied and ventilated her voice in front of him.
"But why? What would I do to accompany you there?"
She was not sure why Zoravec would ask for such a thing. It was simply absurd to ask such a thing from her acknowledging that as a female she could not go inside. Then why would Zoravec ask her such an absurd and ridiculous thing to do. Or was he planning to take her as an invisible entity?
"I do not want to go. Bruh, why would I want to see half naked men running on the tracks?"
She outed upon saying those words making sure that Zoravec would hear it out effortlessly. However, he glared at her and saw the woman looking at him with pleading eyes. Devi tried to soften his heart as she was not sure what her word will turn out to be.
But she truly did not intend to go with him to the army, and possibly she could not even do that either. The army bases were accessed by different kinds of people, and that was the only place which offered the access to other species too. Hence, it was not sure which kind of threats he would find and face there.
He was not sure what he would find there but there was only one way to find out about himself. And that was to join some institute which would send him to other realms, galaxies and planets on different tasks. After all, as per Hecate's words his birth father was one of the strongest people of the vampire realm.
And to find more about him Zoravec had to go to the realm so he could potentially find out what happened to him. Meanwhile he was also curious of what happened with Hecate's husband. If he was a big scientist and was a bigshot who could create such a potion which could temporarily turn the humans into dhampirs.
There was no way he could die that easily and a pathetic death, Zoravec was sure that somewhere deep down according to his hunch he was alive. After all, a person who could stir such a rebellious trope to accompany him to fight the vampires. How could he die so easily after he had studied the vampires, their venom, the ways they could die and much more.
There was no way he could die that easily and such a pathetic death as per told by Hecate. If she was not lying, supposedly, then there must be the other half of the truth which was still hidden and nobody was aware of it. And he had to find it, for that the best way was to venture along the realms to find the truth.
"What did you say? Didn't you say that you will accompany me everywhere? What happened to your claim, huh?"
Zoravec made sure that he would choose the right words to ensure that she would feel emotionally trapped and blackmailed by him. No wonder, he knew that she was an emotional woman and was potentially trapped in his clutches too.
"But…I…"
She tried to refute his words but could not, acknowledging that she was bound to him by blood pact. Devi could not afford to stay away from him for a long time, which meant that she had to stay with him or close by either way. There was utter disappointment over her face as she stood up from the floor and dusted off her clothes.
"But how will I go inside with you? Won't the army bases have sensors to detect any other species?"
She made a point which brought a smile over his face. Zoravec had already figured out that the authorities haven't visited him yet for the disappearance of the cops. And it would definitely have to do something with the chief, William.
Of course!
It was obvious that he must have either deleted the records and removed the traces of the call which was done by Hecate. Zoravec was suspicious of him when he continuously stalled him with that interrogation. His hunch was proven true when he sensed someone spying on him right after leaving the school.
