Chapter Falcons
Yana looked at both Kach and Sam as if they are completely insane.
Never in her life did she expect that there would be two guys who will oppose her father like that.
Even the leader of the clan who is far more powerful than her father didn"t dare to do that. Ever.
Even the Grand elders respect him so much, that they will ask for his permission before entering his office.
But here two guys who are obviously weaker than her father are opposing him so directly that she became speechless.
Sam and Kach exchanged a glance as Yana sized them up.
She took a seat opposite to them and didn"t speak for a while.
After some time, Kach couldn"t take it anymore. Her constant staring made him feel uncomfortable.
"Excuse me, Miss. Do you need anything?"
"Not really, I am just curious."
"About what?"
"What if my father kills both of you? I mean, you might have the means to escape, but you just revealed your intentions, so my father can now take preventive measures and not let you guys escape.
Didn"t you just expose the one critical part of your plan? Why did you do that?"
Sam chuckled at her question.
Yana frowned. She felt that Sam is looking down on her a bit.
"You have a problem with my question?"
"Yes, of course. It seems like your thinking is too straightforward. No wonder so many guys felt like you are the fastest route to your father.
It is too easy to fool people like you."
She became angry, even Kach looked at Sam weirdly.
But Sam didn"t care, he just continued on with his words.
"Do you really think that your father is that stupid? Do you think he will just listen to our words and take them at face value before making preparations to prevent whatever we said we would do?
He is not an idiot. The very fact that we sat here and said those words, means that we are confident that no matter what preparations he made, we will be able to leave this place.
If someone is revealing their plan directly to you, it usually means, that no matter what kind of obstacles you can create, they are confident that they can leave.
Why are you so ignorant?"
Yana frowned.
"I don"t like you as much anymore. Do you need to be such a d.i.c.k? I was starting to like you."
"Trust me, making you like me is not my goal here and in fact, I would appreciate it if you didn"t like me.
With all the stupid compet.i.tion that"s going to court you, I don"t even want to be anywhere near you. I would rather not deal with a bunch of brainless morons."
"Do you mean only brainless morons will court me?"
"You said it, not me."
Sam shrugged it off.
Kach looked at the whole fiasco and spoke.
"Sam, leave her alone. Miss Yana, please don"t mind his att.i.tude, but what he said initially is true.
When someone confidently says that they have the means to escape, we must consider all possibilities and one of the most likely ones is that they don"t care what kind of problems we throw at them, they can still escape.
With the additional proof of battles we had since morning, it is much easier for us to convince your father.
As for the courting part, I am sure for a person as beautiful and talented as you, there must be some really good suitors pining for your love."
Yana appeared a bit pleased.
Sam just shook his head, while Kach and Yana chatted.
He is a bit anxious about how the other players are doing. He is in the worst shape among all the players. And he is at a disadvantage. He was lucky enough to find Kach and this situation.
He is sure that this advantage won"t last long though. He wants to see how the whole situation will progress and it didn"t take long for him to see the first signs of it.
One of the young masters of the six clans, let"s Clan one"s young master came to visit Yana.
And he didn"t even bother to wait for her to meet personally. Instead, he came with some grand gesture.
An attendant came running inside to inform them about his arrival.
Yana looked out of the window of the building, and Kach and Sam did the same.
They all saw a young man walking in front and is followed by some rhino beasts that are dragging a large object that was on wheels.
It looked like a large box covered with a ma.s.sive cloth.
It is almost as tall as two palm trees and who knows how wide it is?
Sam felt a beastly aura from within.
The Clan1 young master looked at Yana who was looking through the window and smiled.
"Miss Yana. I am here today to proclaim my love to you once again. I heard that you are looking for Infinite Dark Falcons.
And your wish is my command. So, here I am with what you desired."
He took off the large cloth covering it.
The object is actually a cage and within it were two large Infinite Dark Falcons and along with them are some baby Falcons that seemed to have just hatched.
"I brought you a whole family of Infinite Dark Falcons. There are five babies that just hatched. So, you can train them as you like."
Yana was shocked as she looked at the scene. Kach and Sam on the other hand frowned.
Because all Yana could see is the beasts that she desired so far, but Sam and Kach who are much more familiar with the beasts than these people saw some anomaly within the Falcons.
They are dull. Their eyes are lifeless as if they are unconscious.
"Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds drugged them."
Kach said with gritted teeth.
Sam was a bit surprised. He knew that something was off, but for Kach to immediately realize it and even recognize the possible reason is a bit surprising.
"It is a really torturous drug. How dare they do this to them? The Infinite Dark falcons. They are very hard to win over and they are very prideful to just bow to people.
That is why it is difficult for people to have them as pets.
Maybe that is why this princess wanted to have them. But if they really capture a beast like this and put it on drugs to keep it calm, for the rest of their lives they need to be put under.
Because once the drug wears off, the beast will be awakened with multiplied anger. This becomes a never-ending cycle.
In a way, those two large beasts are no longer of any use. They are just being used to keep the children in control while they were put under the drugs.
This is a cruel thing to do for such peaceful beasts."
Sam shook his head in disappointment.
Yana who was initially shocked lost all of that pleasant surprise and looked at the beasts in pity and horror.
"I hope you are satisfied with the gift."
Sam muttered and looked at the Clan1 young master.
"Anyway, these beasts are not easy to locate or capture. How did he get to do that? Even for a large clan like this, to capture two of the beasts along with their children is something way too expensive. The price would be in lives.
So, how did he get his hands on these creatures?"
Kach asked from the side.
"Yes, even my father had to plan a lot before even considering capturing these beasts. The resources that are needed are way too many, even the clan"s treasury is going to feel a pinch.
To think that Clan 1 let him use these beasts for courting. I never knew I was valued so much."
Yana answered his question.
Sam chuckled and said.
"I thought I was narcissistic. What"s valuable is your father"s companionship and I have an inkling of an idea on why this guy managed to get these creatures."
As he spoke, he pushed Kach onto Yana suddenly.
Both of them were taken aback and Kach forcefully turned to a side. Yana lost her balance and Kach had no choice but to grab her by her waist.
The whole scene was visible through the window from the outside. Clan1 young master saw this and frowned.
Yana blushed as she felt Kach"s grip on her waist. Even Kach felt shy as he pulled her up.
"Are you alright miss?"
"Yes." Yana bowed her head slightly as she blushed shyly.
Sam looked at Clan1 young master and shook his head in pity. As if he is pitying for his wasted effort.
The clan1 young master is of course more p.i.s.sed than ever.
As if that is not enough, Sam moved his fingers a bit, and the air in the room shifted. A tiny minuscule air cannon hit her behind her knees.
She stumbled forward and at the same time, she lost her breath as bit as Sam took the air around her away.
Her face was fl.u.s.tered as she took deep breaths.
Kach once again didn"t have a choice other than catching her.
