57: Draconic Aura
Knowing that things could go wrong very quickly in the den of obvious enemies, Ren decided to play it safe. He cleared his throat and tilted his hair away from the man’s grip. “So, is anyone going to tell me where I am? What's going on here?” The heavyweight champion squatted until he was on the same eye level with Ren. “You should learn to get your own coffee, Mr. Carter. And that's if you get out of here alive.”A deep frown cut into the space between Ren’s brows. “I think I'm going to get out alive.” He was not sure showing his fear was going to get him out of this, so he opted to be ridiculously bold while hoping that the entities inside him were awake, observing, and ready to swoop in to his save when the time came. SMACK! The boss hit Ren in the same spot Jax had hit him earlier. Ren winced and twisted his mouth, trying to ease the pain in his jaw. “Jax was right about one thing, Mr. Carter. This,” he turned one gnarled finger towards the ground, “is not the hospital. You do
56: In The Den Of Local Menaces
“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re honored to have two giants of the game with us tonight!” A commentator's voice boomed from the large flat screen TV in the living room. “Give it up for Madrid and Saint-German teams! Come onnn!”Applause and cheers exploded both on TV and in the living room. The cramped space was filled with suited men hanging in every corner, watching the players on TV stream into the stadium. One of them grabbed a bottle of Heineken beer from the top of a fridge. He was big and red-skinned, with scars across his face that made him appear twice formidable and ugly. “Whoo! Come on! I bet ten grand on the Madrid team. Better watch out for those fuckers.”He shucked bottles with another colleague and tossed the drink down his large gut. “Drinks on me tonight if the Madrid team wins!” someone else yelled and others cheered in response. This living room was just a small part of a dwelling place that should be considered a den to humans who were more or less preys of the
55: The Director's Return Surprise
“Your Secretary, Suzune Mori.”Ren watched the girl as she dusted the colored confetti off her coat. “I don't remember asking for a Secretary.” He angled his head. “Is it even a thing? Secretary to a hospital director?”She bobbed her head in response, still grinning. “Absolutely. I resumed a bit earlier but it turns out you went away for a week. Something personal, I guess.”He blinked at her, because from the way she was looking at him at the moment, it was almost like she expected an explanation. He shook his head, exasperated. “I'm not sure I accept this.” He turned and pointed towards the door. “Can you get out of my office now? I'll have to review this change with the board.”Suzune skipped over to a porcelain table by the wall and returned with a styrofoam cup. “I'll be right outside this door, sir. You can take your time consulting the board.” She extended the cup to him. “And be sure to drink this while you do.”Ren stared at the cup suspiciously. “And what is that?”She gla
54: Out Of League
Zara Meadows was startled for a brief moment. Maybe by the sudden invasion of her space. Or the electric feel of Ren’s finger against her cheek. She was just spellbound and momentarily out of breath before she remembered that he was a strange man…a traitor who stole Hana away for a full week without disclosing their whereabouts, or informing her family. He did not know it, but he had greatly piqued the interest of the Blackthorn family. Now, they were curious to know about the man who would dare steal their only daughter away. Zara grabbed Ren’s hand and pushed him away just as the elevator dinged on arrival. A look of disappointment crossed his face as he realized it was his floor. It was time to move away. As the doors slid open, Zara cleared her throat and tried to slide away from him, as his large frame made it difficult to see anything else but his chest. “Uhm, excuse me.”Reluctantly, he backed a few steps away and smiled at her. “How about a few drinks later, Ms. Meadows?”
53: Multitasking A-hole And Charming Flirt
Ren was tongue-tied for all of ten seconds before he found his voice again. “S-superhuman abilities? Something like that, I guess.”Hana was not having it. “You guess? You're not messing with me here, are you? Because that would be a very bad fuck up of a possible chance at redemption.”Ren’s jaw hung open. “Redemption? Hana…what are you talking about?” She could be right about the fact that he needed redemption. But was he ready to admit it? Ever since Juno had reported the insightful words of the monk back to him, Ren had battled with the fear that he could be losing himself, turning into something worse than evil itself. Would a simple redemption purge it out of him?Hana heaved a deep sigh and waved her hand dismissively. “Actually, I don't care who or what you are. I'm just here to do that story and I'm out.”Ren narrowed his eyes on her. “Are you sure you don't care? Caring should precede doing the story, if I'm correct?”She scoffed. “Newsflash, Mr. Carter. It's just a job.”
52: Superhuman Heir
Truly, everyone in the ICU who heard Ren Carter’s words were left in confusion. “What’s a demon blade?” “Is the Headmaster really a Doctor too?” Some nurses in the unit did very poor jobs masking their awe and admiration, expressing their desire with every dreamy sigh and whispered compliments. “Wow, he’s so cool.”“His wife is so lucky.”Ren lifted his hand and silenced the questions and compliments that flew around him and outside the ICU. Then he proceeded to lower the blade—which was really just a surgical scalpel—to Todo’s face, ignoring the gasps and murmurs of surprise. Elder Kenji stepped forward and grabbed Ren’s wrists, forcing his hand to a stop. “I hate to be the one to stop you, Headmaster. But you're not authorized to operate on a patient.”“Oh?” Ren cocked his head. “But I'm a Doctor…I just mentioned.”“To the best of our knowledge,” Elder Kenji’s voice dropped to a whisper, “you used to be a medical intern. It does not equate to being a Doctor. And this…” his eyes
