Chapter 222 - 221. Mama....
Meanwhile...
Morning at Veyna’s Estate arrived with horror. The maids and workers woke up to a gruesome sight—bodies, bloodied and broken, scattered all over the yard.
Asher stood at a window, watching their horrified reactions. A smug grin tugged at his lips. He couldn’t lie, he enjoyed it. Seeing the shock on their faces after what he’d done last night gave him a twisted sense of satisfaction.
But he had no time to admire the chaos. He had to move. Not for himself today. But for Tama.
She’d seen someone. Another of her kind. A black cat girl and for her sake, Asher had no choice but to act. To rescue the girl from the clutches of Hades, the slaver and a man spreding STIs like some cursed plague.
Leaving Rin in charge of watching over Valerie, Asher and Tama slipped out of the estate, he, cloaked in invisibility, and she, darting from shadow to shadow like a wraith.
Asher trailed her at high speed, watching her flicker from one tree’s shade to the next, heading west. It wasn’t long before they arrived at the edge of a bush near Hades’ farm.
The moment they reached it, Asher’s breath hitched. Something unnatural stirred—a chilling presence that flared briefly before vanishing like smoke. His skin prickled, hairs rising. It wasn’t just strong.
It felt ancient.
Not even Draegonth’s power had made him sweat like this.
"Tama..." he whispered low. "Stay in the shadows. If something happens—run."
