Chapter 593: Answers from a sucubbus.
"Yes ma’am." Esong replied.
"Pft!" The tiniest bit of laughter escaped her lips. Was the man incapable of being serious? "Ma’am makes me sound like a mature woman."
"But you are mature." he answered.
Just as she was concocting a funny response in her mind, she heard a chuckle in the background. It came from from Esong’s side and it was not his voice. It made her wonder if the others could hear hear them or they were being recorded.
Shoot, the mecha warriors association would ask her about this too if they were listening! Their missions were normally live, watched by officers and higher ups to protect their own and ensure fairness and objectivity in their missions.
"Ahem, general Esong Wu, good job. I wish you good luck on your mission. Bye." She ceased her communication with him immediately.
Since Esong was handling that issue, her initial plan went out of the window and the original one returned. She had a different hunt of her own to get to. She would have preferred Severus for it but he was not back yet so she was stuck with Flan.
It was not that she didn’t trust Flan. Her issue with the female hound was it’s propensity to put her on edge. It was always running back to the underworld to report on all her activities and panicked easily over little things.
The hound didn’t approve of the way Scarlet used monsters, calling it unnatural. Severus on the other hand didn’t mind and he encouraged it. That’s why he was the best partner for her in all circumstances.
"We have got a fresh one." Flan announced.
Scarlet tossed her old soul gourd at the hound. "Go and collect."
Before the hound could question her, she teleported out of the room and appeared at the entrance of a private club in the capital which was one of the places where all sorts of supernatural creatures liked to gather and party. If someone was selling soul drugs to monsters, club Xemon had to be one of the places they were being pedaled in.
She had been to this club twice, on recruitment business. Never with her true face and she always masked her grim reaper nature from the others. It was common for most of them to run in the opposite direction when they saw her coming.
Like most private clubs, she got inside easily thanks to a heavy wallet and the familiarity with her face. The music was loud, the smoke was heavy and the smell of alcohol was heavy in the air as always.
"Hey Tam." a female dancer that recognized greeted her as soon as she stepped inside and greeted her by the fake name she used.
"Hello to you too Caramel." she answered. The female succubus was one of her spies. She worked as a dancer in the club, using her seductive nature and access to humans to feed.
Scarlet tolerated the succubus but she didn’t trust the woman. After Atlas, she didn’t like their kind in the least bit. In fact, Scarlet didn’t trust any demon apart from the banshee that was still searching for Apheitos.
"Come here, I got a question for you?" she waved the woman over. She had been saved some time by meeting Caramel immediately.
Caramel sauntered over to Alix, walking slowly, with her hips swaying from side to side seductively. Her long blonde hair loosely flowed down to her back. The full black bodysuit she wore was so tight that it left nothing to the imagination. The long zipper in the front was open up to the level of her perfectly plump round breasts. Somehow, as she walked, they did this little bounce that called for attention.
When she reached Scarlet she run a hand through her hair and a little moan came out of her mouth. She smiled and put a hand on Scarlet’s arm and slowly trailed upwards to her chest, using her fingers to move.
Scarlet smiled took a dagger out and put it at her neck, controlling it with her powers. "I have warned you before that I will slit your throat if you try this shit with me. I am not one of your marks."
Caramel sighed and withdrew her hand. "Ooh, Tam, you are still as cold ever. Do you want your usual?"
The usual was a locked room on the ninety ninth floor where they could talk in private with no cameras or interferences. Whoever owned Xemon owned the entire building, and every business in the building was related to pleasure. Ten of the floors were actually pleasure houses. It was Scarlet’s theory that this place was owned by a succubus. There was just too much sex in the air.
And there were private floors that catered to all sorts of creatures in their true forms. They shade their human shapes and walked around freely. It was the reason why she wanted eyes and ears inside this place.
"Move." Scarlet told her.
The Succubus led the way, moving in the same seductive manner as she did before. Many eyes were on her, human and monster alike.
Scarlet rolled her eyes, she couldn’t help herself. If ever anyone was born to be an attention whore, it was Caramel. Probably others of her kind too, they were all the same and she despised them. Humans that fell prey to them usually ended up miserable.
There was a time when Scarlet thought she had to cleanse the empire of all these creatures but Lythia had stopped her. Apparently they played a significant role in the cycle of human lives too.
When they got to the room, Scarlet blocked out all sounds and stood at the window, looking out at the view of the city from where she was.
"You always stand there and look outside. What do you see?" Caramel sidled up to her with a drink in hand.
"Humans." She replied.
Every time Scarlet referred to humans as humans, she surprised herself. It had been occurring more frequently when Esong decided to go into that space crack. It was almost as if she just woke up one morning with an understanding that she was not human and it was okay.
"Weak pitiful broken creatures and yet they are loved by deities more than us. I don’t understand what they see in them. We do everything they want us to do for them and yet they see us as dirt." Caramel stood next to Scarlet and looked out as well, staring with contempt at the humans.
Like most supernatural creatures, she hated and loved them for things the humans were not even aware of since they knew next to nothing about deities or the supernatural.
The humans in reference were the on the streets or opposite buildings. Scarlet could see them vividly, and all they were doing was within her sight. They moved so freely and carefreely without a hint of the dangerous creatures that walked amongst them.
"Let’s get to it." Scarlet turned away from the window and leaned against it as she asked the succubus. "What do you know about the little transparent capsules?"
"Capsules?" Caramel replied, confused.
Scarlet wondered if there was another name for them. To make it simple, she conjured up an image of the capsules for Caramel to look at.
"Soul high." Caramel replied. She smirked and added, "Tam, you are into that stuff? I hope you aren’t however, I have grown fond of you."
Scarlet’s lips moved upwards and she smiled. This was quicker than she expected.
