Chapter 97 - Behemoth Axe (2/2)

The two had already understood that they should not irritate Luke; however, they had not yet seen Alexis angry. Her patience also filled up after answering all of the two's questions with irony and seeing that they would not stop.

Alexis summoned a common dagger from Panspermia and pointed at the twin with the sides of his hair shaved off. ”If you two don't shut up, I'm going to rip both of your ears off and stick them on my horn, how about it!”

Luke noticed that the yellow details on her horns glowed a little more intensely in that instant, and the twins' watchful eyes didn't miss that detail either.

”Ohh!”

”Oww!”

In reflex, they tried to touch her horn without permission, which ended up occasioning a double knockout and a fist mark on each other's foreheads.

Despite all the worry, Luke managed to smile at that moment. He crouched down, placed each of the boys under one of his arms, and spoke to Alexis:

”That's it, boys. Only I can touch Alexis' horn.” Without giving much thought to what he said, he walked back.

Obviously, the half-dragon blushed on the spot. Like the ears, the horns of a half-beast are highly erogenous regions. 'He's an idiot...' she thought with her hands on her cheeks, to pick out the color red.

At around eight in the evening, they finally arrived at the Strogueher Mansion. From afar, Luke smelled a sweet smell in the air. As soon as Ayumi and Nathalia opened the double door of the mansion's entrance together, Luke felt as if he had just returned from a long battle.

”You guys have been gone all day. What happened?” Nathalia questioned. The two half-beasts had forgotten to warn about leaving because Luke didn't even know what was going on, and Alexis didn't know it would take this long.

”Let's just say that the plague of demons in Vasconcelos is solved.” Alexis said, clapping his palms together as if removing dust as he walked into the mansion.

Of course, before returning to the mansion, she wore the pendant delivered by Tenth to make sure there were none left in the area. The half-dragon hated to admit it, but Chris did a job worthy of a genius.

Luke looked at Ayumi Yamazaki far more mildly than at anyone else and asked, ”Can we talk?”

The Matriarch smiled briefly as she nodded. Of course, the Matriarch was not expecting a warm welcome, much less a kiss back, but she realized at that moment that something had happened.

”How nice of you to return, Mr. Luke and Miss Alexis. May I ask who the two guests are?” Martha asked, pointing to the two boys hiding behind the half-beasts' backs.

Luke grabbed the twins by the back of their collars, pulled them forward, and introduced them, ”This is Leo and Noah. They're both very chatty, but I think they learned their lesson on the way here.”

Upon their release, the twins reacted to the imposing Strogueher Mansion in different ways. While Leo, the one with the shaved sides of his hair, crossed his arms and posed like a badass to try to impress Nathalia, Noah filled his eyes with tears.

”We're not going to become slaves, are we?”
