Chapter 147: Mongrel. (2/2)
”Do you think I care about that?”
”…” Madam and Eddy were silent.
”In my view, he's just another wet dog, not that different from the king of wolves.” Ruby walked towards Madam.
”Grrr…” Some of the wolves standing nearby started looking at Ruby with killing intent. They wouldn't tolerate an offense to their king.
”...” Ruby stopped walking when she felt the killing intent from all the wolves present:
”...There was once a time where my mother once said when I was little: 'Daughter, if anyone raises their sword against you, you must annihilate them all. Kill enemies, kill everyone related to enemies, Kill! Kill! Kill! Remember! Don't leave any to tell a story!'...” Ruby spoke in a cold tone that terrified everyone.
'That is not a teaching you should teach your own daughter!' Eddy wanted to scream so much now.
”And I carry these teachings in my heart…”
”You raised your swords against me. Tell me…” Ruby's voice was so dark and demonic it sent shivers through all the wolves.
Slowly she turned her face and looked at all the wolves while her eyes were hollow, ”Are you ready to die?” A gigantic pressure started to burst out from Ruby's body.
Gulp!
All, including Johnny, swallowed dryly, and they could not move, as if they were trapped in an immense gravity well. They could feel in their spines a cold feeling of death.
And they finally figured something out:
A monster was in front of them!
Who was Ruby? She's Scathach Scarlett's daughter, and she's not an adopted daughter. She's Scathach's birth daughter.
Of course she's not weak! How could the birth daughter of the strongest female vampire be weak?
As the saying goes, the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree. Ruby was a perfect example of that saying.
”…” All the wolves, including Johnny, took a step back.
”Wise choice…” Ruby flashed a small smile that showed all her sharp teeth, she turned her face and started walking again, and as she was walking, she said:
”You guys are lucky I'm such a nice vampire… If I were my mother or my husband, this whole place would already be turned into a land without life.”
Huh...? Everyone thought they were suddenly deaf.
Who's nice, woman!? You're not nice! You're just as crazy as your mother! Doesn't she realize that!?
She looked at Johnny, ”Especially you, Mongrel. You were very lucky today. My husband is a very overprotective man, the moment you touched me, it wouldn't be death that awaited you... but rather a very long session of torture.” She tossed her hair back and kept walking.
'Although I don't need my husband to deal with this garbage.' Ruby had her own pride, and like Scathach and Victor, she wouldn't leave her enemies for other people to deal with.
”...” Madam grinned when she heard Ruby say, 'her husband, huh?' She thought that was good information.
She could already figure out how to sell the information: 'Scathach Scarlett's daughter has a husband.' She could smell money.
'But… I need to know who her husband is.'
For a moment, Madam completely forgot what would usually happen to people who tried to sell information about Clan Scarlett, and when she remembered that, her face darkened, she thought; 'Forget it. The risks just aren't worth it.'
Seeing Ruby start walking, Natalia followed her silently as she looked at Ruby with a gentle smile:
”...” Hearing what Ruby said. Johnny's face distorted and took on a more animalistic expression. All of his teeth were sharp, and he looked like he was about to attack Ruby at any moment; he didn't like being treated that way!
”Johnny, stop. Or you will become my enemy too. ” Madam warned him.
”…” Johnny clenched his fist angrily and backed away.
Fighting a witch on her turf was just plain nonsense.
”Good.” Madam smiled since, as a witch, she didn't mind the wolf's conflicts with the vampires. She just didn't want conflicts in her establishment.
If it were up to her, Johnny could die anytime, and she wouldn't care. She'd just go, 'Oh? He died, that's a shame. I have lost useful manpower... Anyway.'
Madam would only care about something if that 'something' was her property, for example: The bartender, Eddy.
If Ruby hurt Eddy, Madam would be hostile towards Ruby. After all, Eddy was Madam's property.
Ruby walked past Madam and walked towards her office, treating this place like it was her own home:
”Come on. We have important matters to talk about... And I promise you that this matter will make a lot of money for you.”
”Oh?” Madam flashed a greedy smile.
When Madam, Ruby, and Natalia went upstairs to the office.
Eddy said, ”You fucking idiot.”
”Shut up, I'm not in a good mood right now.” Johnny looked around and growled:
”What are you looking at!?”
”…” The crowd turned away and went back to taking care of their own problems.
”I'm the one who's not in a good mood!” Eddy slapped his hand on the counter.
”You never listen to me!” Eddy's eyes glowed neon green from his fury, ”And because of that, you provoked someone you shouldn't!”
”...” Johnny was speechless when he saw his friend explode with rage. He had never seen him like this.
Eddy took several deep breaths while he was trying to calm down:
”Listen to me, you idiot... This is my last warning. ” He spoke in a neutral tone,
”Don't provoke Clan Scarlett, forget what happened here.”
”Son of a former wolf general or not. The moment you become the enemy of Clan Scarlett, you will die.”
”And your dad won't be able to do anything to help you.”
”Okay…”
”…” Eddy looked at Johnny with a cold look; 'That idiot, he didn't listen to me, huh? I couldn't care less anymore. He can go and die a dog's death.'
