Chapter 97: Spirit Animal / 10.2 : Lost mind
Arya who had seen the whole scene couldn’t believe that her cousin the hybrid freak threatened Klay Ryatt. He is the heir of Ryatt Industry. Their company is worth billions and most importantly they use Knox Fort for cybersecurity. They can’t afford to lose them as a client. Just them using Knox Fort brought the company a ton of new clients.
Now 8 out of 10 companies use Fort Knox. She’ll be the one inheriting it so she has to do everything in her power to keep Klay happy. It already took her a lot to become friends with him and his best friend Jacob so she’s not going to let anyone ruin that let alone some freak.
She screamed:
"How dare you speak to Klay like that? You’re just a bunny."
Eden smirked and checked Versem, he looked up meeting Klay’s blue eyes when he felt his eyes on him. He had a chiseled jawline and his almond blue eyes were shining with interest. His hair was wavy and dark. He had a well-set straight nose and full lips. Klay was looking back at him with an amused smile, his eyes were shining as interest passed through them.
Eden ignored him and gave attention to his cousin. He looked at Arya with disdain and wrapped his tail around her neck. He lifted her high in the air while her eyes opened wide in fear. He brought her closer to him and said loudly:
"You actually dare call me bunny when you’re born from incest?"
Through ragged breath Arya yelled:
"You’re lying."
Eden laughed:
"Why would I lie about something like that. This is why my father didn’t leave them the company. Your mother Alessa is fuckin his brother your uncle, Bastian. He’s your father."
Doubt started to fill Arya’s head and didn’t see it coming when Eden dropped her to the floor. She looked up at him scared.
She couldn’t understand why suddenly his scary aura was gone and he looked at her sad as he said:
"Even you cousin call me a bunny. What did I do to deserve that?"
She looked above his shoulder startled when she heard a howl:
"Even you Arya? Only a terrible person would call his cousin that. Stand up, we’ll see what your parents will say."
Eden said timidly:
"I don’t think Alessa and Bastian will like it."
Arya clearly understood what he meant by that since he just said that her uncle Bastian is her father. The president put a hand on his shoulder reassuring Eden.
"You have nothing to worry about this is not your fault."
Eden nodded and smirked at Arya when she turned back to look at him.
Her mind was reeling right after what Eden said. What if he is telling the truth? She sees how close her mother is to Bastian but she would’ve never thought there’s more if Eden hadn’t told her that. But now that he did she can see how their relationship might be too intimate even as brother and sister. If that isn’t enough they both lied to her saying that Knox Fort was left to them both and that she would inherit it. She has to find out if everything he said is true.
Eden turned to meet Klay’s heated eyes and looked at him with disdain before leaving for class. He went to all his classes in the morning and at lunch, he went shopping. First of all, he needs to get all the official papers like the deed of the house and the shares of his company. That will be easy since he has Versem to find it and already knows where it is. He already found a furnished house and already sent in new clothes. Luckily his father was smart enough to leave him a credit card filled with money.
He’ll invest and make more money. At the end of the day After taking care of everything, Eden went to his house. He knocked on the door which was the most ridiculous thing in the world. This is his house and this rat and snake stole it from him. Even Arya has a key to the house, he’s the only one who doesn’t. He’s happy he took her down a peg. Just because her spa is a tiger she thinks she’s better than anyone.
The butler opened the door and Eden walked to the dining hall. When he arrived Alessa, Bastian and Arya were dining. They never wait for him to eat. Arya looked at Eden who still had his tail and ears out and looked down her hands clenching into fists. Alessa and Bastian looked at Eden surprised. They could feel his spirit’s high power which should be impossible because he never let his spirit out.
But right now he was walking his head and tail held high. Most importantly why the fuck is he alive? Destry texted them that he finally managed to lure him to the bridge. He said he would be done in less than 20 minutes. But then Arya was sent home for insulting him which meant he was alive. They thought that Destry would take care of him during the day that’s why he wouldn’t pick up his cellphone.
Alessa looked at Bastian and then Eden and asked:
"Eden, do you still see that spirit?"
Eden smiled and tilted his head asking:
"Aunt, shouldn’t you ask me how I’m doing first?"
Alessa frowned but quickly put on a fake smile.
"How are you?"
Eden smirked.
"I’m great, I finally got rid of that spirit."
Alessa’s smile was gone and she looked at Bastian worried. Bastian swallowed and asked:
"How did you get rid of him?"
Eden smiled and said full of joy.
"I killed him. If I knew that was all I had to do I would’ve done it sooner. From now on that’s how I’ll deal with the people who annoy him. It’s not like anyone can stop a powerful dragon like me."
Eden’s aura enveloped the room and they all felt like they were suffocating. Eden laughed and took it all back, he said:
"I rented a house closer to school so I’ll stay there from now on. I’ll just pick up a few stuff and leave."
Eden left laughing.
They all looked at him like they were looking at a crazy person. After sending Arya away Bastian asked worriedly:
"Do you think he killed Destry?"
Alessa screamed:
"Of course he did, can’t you see that he has lost his mind."
Bastian thought for a few seconds and said:
"This is a good thing, we can have him tossed in prison for murder."
Alessa’s eyes lit up, she smiled and smirked: fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"There’s a camera on that bridge, we can get it and give it to the police."
Bastian laughed and pulled her chair closer to him.
"That’s perfect baby. The company will finally be hours and we’ll pass it down to our daughter."
Alessa quickly looked around making sure no one was there and kissed him. When she pulled back she was startled to see Eden looking at them with a ridiculing smile. She stammered:
"Eden t-this isn’t..."
He cut her and said before leaving:
"I took all I needed so I’ll go. Have fun tonight you two."
Alessa looked at Bastian panicked, he reassured her:
"Don’t worry once he’s arrested for killing Destry no one will believe any word coming out of his mouth."
Alessa relaxed:
"You’re right."
Eden was in the cab with a smile looking at them hatching their plan. He knew that they were filming everything, they wanted to use that tape to toss Destry in jail to cut every loose string. But with Eden basically saying in the video they’re fuckin, they’ll never release it. Even if they do it was self-defense, that’s why he acted. They have nothing on him, he just wants them to be scared every day of their life knowing that Eden knows the truth about the incest and Arya.
Eden grabbed all the files left by Res, the testament, the shares, and the deed of the house. He’ll toss them out of the house soon enough. While he is the rightful heir to the company Eden has never set foot dare while Arya already works there. Even the shareholders and boards of directors act like he’s never going to become president when he is already of age. They all know that Eden is a hybrid so they believe he’ll never be able to rule the company. Well, it doesn’t matter what they think it’s his and he’ll do whatever he wants with it.
When Eden got out of the car he walked to the gate and frowned. The gate was open when he closed it and he’s sure of it. He entered and closed it behind him and walked while checking Versem. That scourge! Eden walked directly to his room where Klay was waiting for him. From the moment he touched his tail he knew he was Gege and it seems like he is still shameless as ever.
