Chapter 66: Vicious Yet Cute

Ajax’s brows furrowed. "What did you say?"

Opening her eyes, the witch parted her lips and said, "It’s a site that was created by the witches. You can check for answers there but you will not like what you will see there."

Killian allowed the witch to drop to the ground. "There, was that hard, sweetie?"

The witch cupped her throat and asked, "Am I allowed to leave now?" She wanted to use her magic to leave, but something about the potion that Killian had used on her – her magical abilities seemed to have been sealed, leaving her with no choice but to stay under the mercy of the lycans.

Killian actually smiled at her. "Leave? How can you leave?" He looked up at the female lycan who lost her pup in the hands of the halfling and stated, "If you leave, then how will these people who have lost their children release their anger?"

"You promised!" The witch’s eyes widened as she looked at the man with disbelief.

"Ah," Killian remarked with a smile on his lips. "That’s another lesson for your next life. Never trust a lycan; we like to lie just as we like to drown our vodka."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the female lycans jumped on the witch, tearing her apart. The sound of their flesh and bones snapping apart echoed in the clearing, and Inez turned her head away. She had never seen a sight before, as wolves never ate their prey; they played around with their trophies, but they would never eat their victims.

"Does it make you uncomfortable?"

While she was looking away, Killian, who was standing a bit further away from her, stepped forward and came to a stop in front of her. Inez raised her head and turned to look at him.

"I have never seen anything like this before." There was an ugly crunch, and her face turned slightly green as she turned to look away once again. Dry heaving lightly, she said to Killian, "I am sorry. Just now I spoke out of line."

The man arched a brow as if he was not expecting her to apologise.

"What?" She asked with a frown.

"It’s nothing." An emotion flickered in his eyes, but it was fleeting, and she couldn’t catch it before it disappeared. "Walk with me, will you?"

Inez frowned even harder when she heard him say that he wanted her to walk with him. She wondered if Killian wanted to talk about what happened just now. She sighed and followed him; however, just as she turned around, she heard someone shout behind her—

"Watch out!"

Inez turned around only to see another witch jump at her; she must have been hiding in the crowd and lunged at her when she got the chance to do it. Of course, she knew that the witch’s target was not her but Killian. However, before the witch would attack him, Inez, just as fast, caught the female by her throat and slammed her to the ground.

She tied the witch’s hands behind her back, which put a stop to her attack.

Witches needed their hands to draw the spells; as long as they were tied, they would be at their mercy.

Inez glanced at the witch who was subdued by her and remarked, "You should have acted more wisely. What kind of fool would attack when they are outnumbered?"

The witch hissed at Inez. She heard that the woman was a latent; thus, she thought that the woman would definitely be taken down by her in a jiffy. And as long as she attacked a latent, Killian would rush to save Inez.

But the witch never expected Inez to move faster than she could, and Killian —that man watched her attack the woman beside him, but he never made a move. He let her attack Inez and remained calm, causing her entire plan to be jeopardised.

"Let her go before she faints," Killian remarked while looking at the woman pinned down on the ground. "Let the enforcers take care of everything from here now."

Inez glanced at him before turning to look at the witch. She said, "I will let you go, but don’t you try to make a move against me or I will break your hands."

When the witch stayed quiet, Inez calmly snapped her wrist.

As soon as the sound of bones cracking and the screams of the witch echoed in the clearing, everyone in the crowd sucked in a breath. They all turned to look at Inez, who was calmer than the serene sea moving behind her and turned to look at the woman.

Who would have thought that the vulnerable-looking woman could break someone’s wrist without changing her expression?

Inez let go of the witch and, ignoring the shocked look on Killian’s face, she turned and wiped the dust off her hands. "Close your mouth; it looks like it’s about to fall down on the ground."

Killian snapped his mouth closed as he turned around on his feet and walked to where Inez was going. He questioned, "When did you learn these skills?"

"Tao taught them to me," Inez replied while walking to her lodge. "When we were still friends, he was worried that I would be bullied because I was a half-shifter and half-human; thus, he showed me some skills to save my life in case of danger."

Inez didn’t like to talk about Dominic and her relationship with the other three, but she decided to be generous, for she had been rude to Killian earlier.

Killian arched a brow upon hearing her response, but she didn’t push him any further.

Seeing that the lycan was not saying anything, Inez turned to look at him and remarked, "Alright, let’s do it."

"Do what?" Killian asked with confusion brimming in his eyes.

"Didn’t you bring me here because you wanted to tell me off for overstepping my boundaries?" Inez asked, mirroring his confusion, only for the man to curl his lips upwards.
