Chapter 469:Spotted Cheeks
"But don’t do it now," Kael said, "Wait until she has delivered the child."
"What if it’s not the Primordial Fox?" Ozia asked, curious.
"You’ll kill it," Kael answered plainly.
Ozia nodded, "Are you going somewhere, Father?"
As the two of them talked, their senses were spread wide and they could somewhat see all that was happening below.
Isabel could only wander around the vicinity, confused and unsure of what to do. Many thoughts were running through her mind at the moment, one of which was the many decisions she had made that led her to this moment.
She regretted ever positioning herself in front of Ozia that day. Now, she would be a laughing stock among the other females who never got their chances.
They would say many nasty things behind her back when they found out. Isabel’s reputation was about to be seriously tarnished. But if she knew what the father and son were discussing about her above, she would know that her reputation should be the least of her worries.
’I must contact Madam Vixy immediately, she should at least help me out,’ Isabel thought.
She could go wherever she wanted, but unknown to her, she had already become a prisoner on this planet.
"I am, I’ll be going to heaven very soon," Kael said.
"Oh," Ozia nodded, "Will something be happening?"
Kael nodded, "A lot will be happening, Ozia. Major restructuring will be happening everywhere.
The vassals here will have to be governed well and I haven’t made a decision concerning them yet."
This was a serious subject among Kael’s current objectives. Obviously, he could not take the vassals with him to heaven.
Even if he used the arkships to take them, they would have to spend the rest of their lives inside the vessel as Leonine Heaven, usually uninhabitable for anything that isn’t a lion or extremely powerful like a tier 6 entity.
Kael wanted power and he wanted serious expansions. Beyond the caste societies, Kael wanted the system to grow and encompass everything.
He could not achieve that if he holed up his vassals in arkships.
The wolves and the vultures were not to be worried about, Kael could control them with their systems. But the other races could cause a lot of trouble.
While Kael and Olivia had been discussing, two female figures appeared in the sky not far from them.
It was Katari and N’bayé.
Kael and Ozia sense their presence and turn to look at them.
"It seems it’s all settled," N’bayé said in a relaxed manner as she looked between Kael and Ozia. Her observation runes caught the movement of Isabel down below.
Katari didn’t say anything, just observing Kael.
N’bayé was here because Silas had reported what was happening to her. Katari had simply shown up because of Kael, nothing else.
"Good, you’re here. Let’s go check out that thing. Ozia, you may leave us for now. Take Isabel with you and keep her..." Kael’s voice trailed off but the hidden meaning was understood by Ozia.
Ozia nodded, the limit seal held tightly in one of his hands. He swooped down to catch Isabel.
He didn’t seem to care that his mother had just shown up and N’bayé didn’t seem particularly bothered by the lack of greeting from her son.
Kael’s attention was then focused on the two ’women’ hovering toward him, "N’bayé, lead the way."

"I get what you’re saying, Ralph," Tatiana, the green skinned woman said in a hushed tone.
She was sitting in the VIP area of another club and was enjoying a glass of wine.
Even now, there were still people who had come to the clubs despite the seemingly end of the world.
She wore a revealing red dress that pushed up her green breasts and exposed her green tights underneath the slits.
She wasn’t sitting alone in her couch circle though. Two other people were with her.
One of them was Ralph, looking much better and bigger than before. Although he was sitting down, Tatiana could tell that he had grown a little taller.
Even his cheeks showed that he had added a bit of weight.
The other person sitting in their circle was someone Ralph had not seen before.
Ever since he had been relieved of the limit seal, his senses and powers had been growing steadily. He had learned how to transform from his true wolf form to his humanoid form and also use the shift technique to look human and hide his aura.
Commander Bibi had also introduced him to a few caste leaders who were present on the planet.
Ralph’s horizons were broadened after being exposed to those powerful entities.
Some of those entities that he had met had strange auras. They were not detectable by ordinary humans but ’Flawed ones’ or ’Originals’ could sense them perfectly.
It was like those beings had specifically left their auras detectable for people like Ralph to notice them.
And this strange woman who was currently sitting with them also had this aura. None of the other humans inside the club could feel it but he and Tatiana knew what this woman was.
Ralph talked with Tatiana but his piercing yellow eyes were focused on the woman. He noticed the six peculiar dots on her cheeks, three on each cheek.
Straight black hair, beautiful round face, small eyes, small lips, average height. She had a gentle expression on her face, Ike someone who had everything under control.
"I was actually thinking of meeting you myself, someone already told me about your situation.
There’s no need to explain it," Tatiana said as she took a sip of the clear wine from the glass.
Ralph narrowed his eyes, he noticed that Tatiana’s hands were trembling slightly. She was afraid.
"Who told you? Was it her?" Ralph asked, looking at the mysterious woman without fear.
Tatiana paused, her eyes focused on the swirling liquid inside her glass, "Allow me to introduce you to her.
Ralph, this is Lady Natalia..."
The woman, known as Lady Natalia, also took a sip of her wine. When she raised the glass, Ralph noticed the woman’s lack of fingernails.
Rather, all her fingers were black as though they were stained with tattoo ink.
"Are you..." Ralph started.
"Commander Bibi already knows that I’m here. That’s why he allowed you to come without following you." Natalia said after putting down her drink.
Ralph frowned, "Lady Natalia."
"That’s my name," Natalia smiled. Her voice contained a certain magnetic quality to it that made it very captivating to anyone who heard her.
"I’d like to talk with my agent, privately," Ralph said. He guessed that this woman was probably someone like Bibi who commanded great power.
"Agent?" Natalia frowned, "Don’t you know you work for the King now? You better get your mind straight little wolf."
She chuckled, then glanced at Tatiana, "Tatiana didn’t tell you, but I own her now."
"You own her?" Ralph raised his eyebrows.
Natalia nodded, "Only for the time being. The other caste leaders are still unsure whether to see the planet as a prison or an experiment center.
Perhaps, a farm. We don’t know what to do with it yet. I’ll be waiting for them to make a decision and in the meantime, I’d want someone like Tatiana to show me some...things."
As Natalia spoke, she played with her fingers, watching as the dancing lights from the ceiling flashed in her dark pinky.
Ralph knew that Tatiana had a business to run. He had simply come here to say goodbye forever. Although he acted cold toward her most of the time, Tatiana was actually his closest, if not his only friend.
"I hope you’re paying her for her time?" Ralph asked.
Tatiana could not help but wear a sweet smile.
Natalia nodded, "Yes, I’m not unfair. I’ve taken over all her mercenary operations for the time being. She will be paid handsomely."
"What will you do with her? Why are you doing this?" Ralph leaned back and asked. He had assessed that this woman probably saw him as an equal, even though he was weaker than her in strength.
"I’m using her to connect the world, little wolf. Nations, presidents, companies, generals, assassins. I need them all connected to me.
To be honest, she’s just one of the more interesting pawns.
What I do find very intriguing however is her heritage. These chameleon things, the king might fancy them," Natalia said.
Ralph paused, going silent for a while. Different thoughts streamed through his mind but his face remained flaccid.
Natalia suddenly nodded, "Yes, if the King likes, this might not be your last goodbye with Tatiana."
Tatiana was confused, who asked that question?
"I’m not a fan of this mind-reading thing," Ralph said with a deep dark gaze into Natalia’s eyes.
Natalia simply rolled her eyes, "A little bit of power and you already want to let it get to your head?
Calm down, that’s not how we do things here.
Alas, I can’t blame you, you’re a Primordial. By right, you deserve to be arrogant.
But just because you were born with this gift of yours doesn’t mean others can’t get it for themselves.
Don’t look down on me little wolf, I might become a Primordial myself in the future...hehehehe."
Natalia muttered the last part so that the sound of the music drowned out the sound of her voice.
Tatiana did not hear it but Ralph did.
