Chapter 137 - Another Handsome Man? (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

My body went full alert. Since this house was protected by my father's charm and my own men, invisible guest couldn't enter at will unless I allowed it. The fact that this 'guest' could enter the house and still remained invisible in my eyes made me vigilant.

It could be family, or strong opponent.

Which one was it?

”Jane Harris.” The voice was heard again, followed by the lights of the lamps started to light up one by one.

At the same time, I moved backwards, tried to put some distance with whatever was coming for me. ”Who's there?” I asked. I tried to contact Siji and the men, but somehow no one responded my call.

What happened?

”There's no need to spent your energy. They won't come.” The voice said and it was as if I could see it smirked. ”Your connection with them is not strong enough yet. It's easy for me to block it out.”

I frowned. It sounded strong. I was sure it was not Shadow. It must be another kind of entity that I didn't know existed.

But, what was it?

Black mist appeared out of nowhere and gathered in the place where the voice came. As it condensed and formed a figure, my eyes widened at the sight of it.

What was it? I had never seen this figure before.

I was not sure with the exact physical appearance of this figure, but I could recognize a pair of bull horns on its head, a big and burly body, and a tail. His pair of red glaring eyes were glaring at me and a mouth which was grinning devilishly at me.

”Who are you?” I asked. I was not afraid, but I was worried that I had done something terrible to offend this creature.

”I heard a new master has come. So, I want to check it out. Your lousy charms can't hide your presence and block me, by the way. So, there's no need to be that shock.” It stopped around a meter away from me.

Ah, so I didn't offend it. It also answered my questions regarding how it could get it which made me realized that it was strong. But, it talked about 'new master', it probably didn't mean me, right?

As I was still pondering over the intention of this creature coming onto me, I saw it looked at me from head to toes and otherwise. I felt like I was being scrutinized over my quality as the new master based on my physical appearance and it made me unhappy.

”Excuse me, who are you?” I repeated my question as anger started to fill my chest.

I had not heard the answer but the black mist suddenly turned into fire, successfully made me shocked. I had not had time to shout 'Fire' when I noticed the fire in front of me starting to disappear and the place where the fire stopped burning was replaced with a pair of... foot? Complete with a pair of shiny shoes.

What the?!

I followed the place where the fire stopped burning and was stunned when a man appeared in front of me. Was he a magician?

Even though that thought crossed my mind for a second, I knew for sure he was not a magician. No magician could make a realistic creepy black mist with terrifying aura without any spooky background music supporting him.

It could only mean one thing; the creature in front of me was not a ghost, soul, or even shadow.
