Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

[ Zhou Ancestral Mansion…]

Marceline kept pacing back and forth across her study room, waiting for Kira. The last time he communicated with her was the time he was leaving the underground dungeon together with the other vampires.

After that, she lost contact with him. She didn't know why but Kira was no longer responding even if she continued calling him through the communication device.

"Don't worry too much, dear. Kira will just be fine. They successfully escaped from Triple W. He is just escorting them to a safe place." Aunt Brianna softly said, comforting Marceline.

"But he is not answering me, Aunt Bri. What if something bad happened to him? I can't stay here anymore. I have to find him."

Marceline immediately picked up her phone, contacting Xyon aka Mr. X. She wanted him to track Kira's location.

Xyon's exaggerated voice was heard from the other line as soon as the call got connected. He didn't even allow Marceline to say a word first as he spoke spontaneously, bombarding Marceline with so many questions.

"Big Boss! You will not believe this… but I can see giant wolves running around the Triple W headquarters! Wait… I feel like I am watching a movie now. Is this another Twilight series? Tell me if I am dreaming or not."

Marceline's hand moved slowly over her forehead down her temples. She forgot about this. Xyon hacked Triple W's security system so he had access to their CCTV recordings. No wonder he could see this strange phenomenon that was happening inside the Triple W headquarters.

The situation there was very chaotic. They were still trying to subdue the out-of-control werewolves.

"Is Triple W a secret academy of Magics? Are there members like Harry Potter? Why am I seeing these people casting some kind of magic spells? And why the hell are people transforming into wolves? This is so crazy, Big Boss!" Xyon was startled and overwhelmed by the scene he was witnessing right now.

He didn't know if it was just camera tricks or if Triple W was shooting a fantasy movie! What the hell was happening there?! It was beyond his wits and understanding. Fortunately, he had a high IQ that he could still bear with this without fainting from too much shock.

Xyon's voice was too loud that Aunt Brianna could hear it even without getting close to the phone. She just shook her head helplessly, understanding how much surprise he had gotten tonight.

"If you feel troubled by this, just ask Kira to erase Xyon's memories about the werewolves and witches. But if you think that you might ask his help again when dealing with werewolves and witches, then just explain everything to him. I guess he is smart enough to understand this." Aunt Brianna gave her meaningful advice. She made sure to lower her voice so that Xyon couldn't hear her.

Marceline looked at her without a word but the faint curve in her lips was enough to tell Aunt Brianna that she was considering her advice.

"Mr. X… let's talk about that tomorrow. For now, I have another important task for you."

When he heard the word task, Xyon brought his focus back to Marceline, setting aside those absurd happenings and phenomena inside Triple W's Headquarters for the time being.

"What is the important task, Big Boss?" he asked her, his eyes gleamed with eagerness and excitement. He loved doing tasks for his Big Boss.

If other employees hated Marceline because of her cold and frightening demeanor, Xyon was different from them. In fact, he liked her fierce attitude and he admired her for being a strong woman.

Marceline was his ultimate crush, that's why when she offered him the job, even if she didn't threaten him or blackmail him, Xyon would willingly accept her offer without any hesitation!

"Can you please track the location of my bodyguard? I can no longer contact him through our communication device. I'm so worried about him." A spark of worry darted into her eyes as she bit her fingernail.

"Ok, Big Boss. Worry not! Just leave it to me. Will track his location using the signal of his communication device."

"Thank you, Xy!"

A faint light twinkled in the depths of his brown eyes when he heard her thanking him softly. He was like a teenage boy who was complimented by his crush and he couldn't help but swoon. It brought a sudden joy in his heart, now he became more motivated to do his task.

However, even before Mr. X could do something, the door of the study room swung open, revealing Kira's prominent figure.

Marceline moved her gaze to the door, meeting Kira's piercing eyes. They stared at each other for several seconds before she stepped forward, dashing in his direction.

"Kira, you are back!" Marceline pounced on him, feeling relieved at the sight of him.

"Was that Mr. X on the phone a while ago?" Kira asked Marceline, his voice sounded a little bit cold and stern. His sense of hearing was truly impressive.

But Aunt Brianna could hear a hint of jealousy in his words. She just pursed her lips, smiling faintly while watching the two people in front of her.

On the other hand, Marceline narrowed her eyes at Kira. Of all the things he should have said after arriving, Kira just asked her if the man she was talking to over the phone was Mr. X.

'Why is he so curious about Mr. X?' Marceline pouted her lips, feeling a little bit upset.

She hit Kira's chest and questioned him, "What happened to you? I lost contact with you? You scared me, do you know that? Explain yourself!" Marceline demanded, putting her hands on both sides of her waist.

But even before Kira could reply, blood gushed out from his nose. Then he felt a sudden throb on his head.

He laid his hand on his forehead trying to ease the pain. But the whirling in his brain worsened as if the world was spinning. Before he knew it, blackness already overtook him and he collapsed!

"Kira!"
