183 The Truth (2/2)
Katherine stayed cool as she suddenly gazed at the distant Anna and pointed out, ”I'm not sure if you figured it out already but I'm not the only one who likes him. Both Scarlet and Anna are the same, although Anna's case is much more complicated.”
”…”
Dongmei didn't respond at first, knowing very well what Katherine meant. She realized how they felt based on the way they looked at him and their conversations. Being a woman herself, she didn't even need her ability for that.
The only thing she didn't figure out beforehand was Katherine being romantically involved as well.
”It's hard not to notice such an obvious signs but none of them crossed the line so I let it slide,” Dongmei said as if it was already clear. ”Only you decided to make a move.”
”That's true. Only I made the move as for now,” Katherine admitted before asking with a smile, ”But do you think that would be the case forever? They would eventually follow my example and do the same. Especially Anna. After all, she doesn't have any other choice.”
”What do you mean?” Dongmei questioned, getting a bad feeling. ”What happened to Anna?”
”Listen, the moment you accepted Chameleon's idea to create a group with us, your plan to keep him for yourself was doomed to fail,” Katherine explained honestly. ”How do you expect three beautiful women to not be tempted by someone like Chameleon? It was obvious we would eventually catch feelings for him and things would get complicated.”
Dongmei frowned when she heard it. She did know about that risk yet she trusted Wuxing so she didn't mind that. She didn't expect that trust in Wuxing was of no use if the girls simply force herself on him.
She wanted to counter it when she heard a gong in the distance, announcing the finish of the challenge. They could see that Wuxing won and began walking to them with a worried expression.
”We don't have much time so let me tell you about Anna. I doubt she wanted me to tell you like this but it would be best if you know what is her situation,” Katherine added in hurry. ”You should know about her ability already. She can entice any man to do her bidding like a succubus. Unfortunately, the only way for her to evolve is through sexual intercourse.”
”What…?” Dongmei asked surprised. ”Can't she evolve through the usage of her ability like everyone else?”
”She can but it's extremely slow. She won't be able to advance before the event. It would be alright if she could find one man and evolve with his help but it's impossible in her case. Before evolving, the man would be sucked dry from his energy and die. Her only solution is simply becoming a slut and whoring herself left and right until she finally evolves,” Katherine explained further, making Dongmei speechless.
”…”
Based on Wuxing's ability, she already figured what will come next.
”The only way to avoid that is the help of Chameleon. With his regeneration ability, he can easily help her. I don't want Anna to become a slut so I'm paving the way for her. She is scared he will reject her so she tries to slowly find her way into his heart before she tells him the truth,” Katherine concluded.
”So he still doesn't know anything…?” Dongmei asked, looking at Wuxing who was closer and closer to them.
”If he knew from the start, the situation might have looked completely different compared to now but now it's too late.” Katherine replied before asking rhetorically, ”Do you think that with the relationship we now have, he will allow Anna to sleep with multiple guys while knowing he could help?”
Dongmei knew that answer to this question but she didn't want to voice it out as it was stuck to her throat. She also felt bad for Anna. If she was in the same situation, she would also try her best to get Wuxing's help.
There was one thing she didn't get though.
”But it's not just Anna who have a clear problem. You also like him and try to take advantage of the situation. Don't pretend you only try to help Anna,” Dongmei pointed out, seeing through Katherine's mask.
She also want Wuxing for herself.
Katherine shrugged and muttered with a helpless sigh, ”I also want to be happy, okay? If you can't keep him to yourself anyway, why can't I also take a slice of the pie?”
Dongmei opened her mouth to reply when she heard the footsteps and Wuxing finally reached them, forcing her to close it.
”Are you two fine?”
