Chapter 267: A night outside


    "We have moved all the important things in this ce. At night, this ce is going to go BOOM. Make sure none of you are on the premises." Abigail informed the boy in the chair inside his personal space. "Yeah, and please allow us to take our leave. We need to return to the spirit realm now."


    Ryu responded within the agreement. "Thanks for your services. I look forward to having a much deeper conversation next time." "Huh.. jerk!" Isabe''s lips twitched at his double-meaningment. "Don''t disturb her. We will return after a proper rest as well." Abigail pointed behind him and her sister stuck her tongue out to mock the boy, as their bodies disappeared.


    Ryu smiled and looked back. A blue bubble enveloped the bed. Ruthid in a nket, sleeping peacefully. Abigail had put a spell on the woman, allowing her to sleep undisturbed. The bubble outside isted her from all the outside noise, providing a serene environment inside.


    "Now then, what should I do with your lot? Can''t have you dilly-dallying around for nothing." He addressed thedies sitting on the ground, ahead of him. L bit her tongue yfully. "We would love to help you, even so right now, all we are good for is producing milk hehe... But I guess, you won''t be needing it in such quantity."


    "Well, you are right about that. I got neither the patience nor the expertise to start a dairy business." All thedies blushed with shame, they trulycked any major life skill. "It''s okay, you can stay here for some days. I will figure out something to keep all of you engaged. For now, I want you all to go through these books."


    Rose came forward to pick the books the boy handed them. "It contains some basic knowledge about formations. I want you all to give it a try. Although you are not the brightest students out there, but I believe if you put your heart to it, you might just seed."


    "Formations? You mean the same like granny?" L was only one privy to Ruth''s status. "You know about it?" The twin spirits had told him almost everything about the olderdy''s life. "Not much. She only told me a few times about what she used to do. But that''s all I know."


    "Ohh.. no issues. All of you should start from the beginning. Since you have joined me on this journey, you can''t keep being mindless ratgas producing milk. You will have to put your asses on work and work hard, otherwise, you are off." His stern gaze made all of them cower.


    "Ahem.. what do you me we are off?" Mary was the only one who can gather enough courage to speak up. Ryu grinned, walking up to the girl. His hands picked her chin up. "I will have to wipe your memory and leave you to strive for yourself."


    He heard audible gulp from the women around. "You can''t do that to us? After we have up our freedom, now you want to abandon us?" Ryu recognized the whiny voice. "Always sticking your head out haha..!" He casually walked over to thedy, twisting her long nipples, making her wince in pain.


    "Don''t kid yourselves!! Each one of you is a weakling, through and through. That''s the truth, whether you like it or not. Ruth might have been easy on you guys, but I won''t. Let me be blunt, I don''t want weaklings on my side. And believe me, right now even if I kick you out from here, your beloved granny can''t help you. Because now, I hold absolute power over each one of you. Am I clear?"


    Once again, thedies were face to face with the same fierce boy from the starting. Over the month, they thought that he had grown close to them like a family however the first chance he got, he disyed his fangs. That''s how most of them saw the situation. Only Rose and L were clear that the boy only had their well-being in mind when he scolded them.


    "Yes, master!" An emphatic reply, just like he would have loved. "Great, at least you are good at following orders. Now, go ahead. Ask me if you have any questions." "Ahem.. will you be sleeping with us at night?" Ryu raised his eyebrows, noticing Tessa coiled up in a corner.


    "Haha.. do you want to sleep with me that badly, little girl?" The petite woman tried to smile, nodding her head to show her eagerness. "It will be best if you can apany us in sleep once a week or so." Ryu got on his knees, warmth seeping from his heart. Holding her head between his palm, he went ahead and kissed her passionately.


    Each one of them was too stunned to even gasp in surprise, including Tessa herself. His tongue invaded the privacy of her mouth. Her gaze dropped down and her face heated up under the intense gaze of the boy. "Well Ms. Tessa, I got very limited time and a crowd ofdies around me. All of you have to earn it if you want to get in bed with me. Got it?"


    He heard a small humming sound in response. "Good. Enough chatter for the day. I am too tired. Whatever Abigail and Isabe told you about the rules, keep them in mind else be ready for punishments. I will try to keep L here so that she can guide you. You can let me know if you guys get too bored inside here, I will let you out for a fresh breath of air."


    "One more thing, for the outside world all of you had disappeared along with Ruth. There will be no contact between you and the world, at least in the foreseeable future. Goodbyes, then. I will see you all tomorrow." Saying that Ryu waved to thedies and left the personal space, finding himself in the now-abandoned building.


    He can see that the whole mansion had been ransacked. It must have been those twins, who he had tasked with collecting anything of importance from this ce. "Time to go home, I guess." He stretched his limbs and sneaked out of the ce, trying his best to avoid meeting anyone on his way back.


    ***


    In the chief''s estate, Eric stood beside the window. "Guuggllyyy.. gguuglly.. haha.. you are such a cutie hehe.." The newborn in his arms giggled nonstop as the man tickled her belly. Night had fallen and there was a beautiful moon in the sky. Nanay in bed with a smile of contention on her face.


    "It''s time, bring her to bed. I need to put her to sleep." "Ahahaha.. why? It''s not always that we father and daughter get some quality time together." Eric nudged the little girl''s belly button, sending her into another fit ofughter. "Tell mommy that you want to be with father.. yeah.. just like that.. tell her.. haha..!'' Nana can only shake her head in futility.


    *BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM* Right at that moment, multiple sts rang out in some distance from their property. Arge cloud of white vapor aggregated in the sky before slowly dispersing. In the room, Eric had used his back to shield his baby from the st wave. Thankfully, its intensity had degraded with the distance.


    "What in the world??" Nana still had her ears buzzing from the explosions. "Take her. I need to go!!" Eric can only grit his teeth and jump right out of his window, after handing the child to his wife. His body floated mid-air, rapidly advancing to the destination with raging blue and white mes.


    Landing on the ground he let his sense prevail over the st radius, trying to look for any survivors. "What caused this? Any ideas?" Another man came flying from the ntation. "Spirit stones. Someone professionally detonated them."


    Eric just nodded. "Any survivors, you can sense?" "None. Either there was no one in here or everyone was just evaporated." Lyod stared into the other man''s eyes before searching once again. "I was always suspicious of that woman. She came out of nowhere, took over one of the most prime properties, and always maintained a veil of secrecy. Huhh... This year is turning out to be quite testing, first the fatal vine attack, now these explosions."


    Lyod was in agreement. "My guess is that she left this ce already." Eric found that the st radius was only epassing the entirety of the property. "Thankfully she didn''t kill any innocents. I already had an idea that she was leaving, but why go to such lengths?"


    "To hide her trail, maybe." None of the two men had spoken these words. Both Eric and Lyod bowed their heads to show respect to the approachingdy. "Ms. Emily, can you.." "There was nobody here when this ce blew up, it''s probably just a distraction. Go ahead, you guys can rest. Since I am here, I look into it."


    As the grand mage had decided, both men took their bows once again and retreated. "Huuu.. how many secrets are you hiding kid?" She was acting exasperated but in her heart, she was happy for the boy. With a re from her, the fire in the acres of property was snuffed out.


    ***


    "What was that?" Ruby turned to her side, finding a bright white cloud dispersing. Everyone in the house was probably jolted awake, not Ryu though, having already known about it. "It''s okay, there are many people in the town who can look into it. Come here."


    Ryu pulled her head in his chest, keeping her there until she calmed down ad went back to sleep. Amelia waited for her girl to sleep before she whispered. "Should we go and check? It''s probablying from the dairy farm."


    The boy turned back and kissed her lips. "It''s okay, rest easy. The ce had been abandoned for a while now, so no one must have been there when the st urred." "Abandoned?" Ryu patted her face, forcing her head into the pillow. "I will tell you about itter, for now, hold sis. I got to take a leak."


    Amelia pecked his lips once again, before shifting inside the nket to hold her arms around Ruby, while his son slipped out. Ryu tiptoed out of the room, immediately to get captured by two waiting arms. He didn''t panic and let the person bring him out of the house.


    "I guess we need to talk, kiddo." She had ced him down on the roof of the building. In response to her interrogation, all she got was a mouthful of the boy''s saliva mixed with her''s. "Muuu..hhh.. enough!" She had to force the brat away, otherwise the next thing she knew they will be sucking on each other''s tongues for the rest of the night.


    "About the farm. Speak up." With how powerful she was, it was no wonder that she figured it out. "haah..!" With a deep breath, Ryu held his arms around Emily''s waist getting her closer to his chest and staring straight at the bright clouds in the sky.


    "I can''t, grandma. I can''t tell you everything about myself just yet. There are some secrets about me that I can''t share with anyone, no matter how close. Believe me, it will only bring disaster for everyone around me." Emily can''t tell what secrets can a teenage boy had that even she can''t handle. But by the looks of the serious expression on his face, it was clear that at least he firmly believed it to be that way.


    "Are you truly my grandson?" Her hands caressed his cheeks, mindlessly speaking while staring into his sparkling eyes. "Hehe.. how does it matter? I love you and that''s what is important. Isn''t it?" He initiated another kiss, this time way more aggressively.


    Their hand-squeezed each other''s ass cheeks, sucking on their lips like there was no tomorrow. Their breaths got hotter with every passing second. Ultimately, Ryu''s hands rested on her recently growing tits. Opening the upper three buttons of her blouse, he pulled those jugs out, fondling them to his heart''s content.
