Chapter 113 - A Reason To Spare

Boris scoffed, "You don't want this fight."

The hunter smirked, "Well as a matter of fact, I do."

Raine threw the first punch. Surprisingly, her knuckles seemed to have been the one to sustain damage as it landed. Boris was built like a truck, and it showed from the sheer strength that he wielded.

"My turn."

Her eyes widened as she quickly backed off from the large man. His fist descended upon her previous location, the poor floor beneath him cracking from the sheer power of his strike.

"Oh shit!"

Raine immediately went on the defensive as she began to rethink her strategy. Boris was a massive, lumbering beast. He may be slow, but each hit could possibly end her right then and there. 

Shaking her head, Raine began a calculated series of counterattacks. Taking advantage of his slow speed, she ducked into his range and targeted his legs with powerful kicks. It wasn't much, but it still did damage as the man visibly got slower with each attack. 

"Damn…" she clicked her tongue. This would probably take a while…

"Having trouble?"

What?

To her surprise, Tyrone had taken the field. Standing between her and the now surprised Boris, he raised an eyebrow as he lackadaisically eyed their target.

"You…"

Him?

"Aren't you-"

But before the man could speak, Tyrone had already socked him right in the jaw. Boris was out for the count, falling to the ground with a massive thud. 

Raine didn't waste any time and immediately put the high technology bracelet on Boris.

She looked at her wristwatch, then at the rest inside the bar and said, "There's a barrier outside the bar. It'll shut down in about twenty minutes so I suggest you all stay here and have fun drinking unless you want some excruciating poison in your bodies, that is… For now, I shall take our leave first, gentlemen…"

Raine turned to Tyrone, "Bring him with us."

Lyne let out a sigh of relief seeing their Boss coming out from the door. She immediately opened a gap between the barrier so Raine and Tyrone could get out from it.

"Bring the car," Raine instructed.

Lyne nodded and quickly ran towards their car. Raine waited for Tyrone to bring Boris with him before she fully enclosed the gap in the barrier. Lyne then stopped the car in front of them and Tyrone quickly moved Boris inside the backseat.

"He will be unconscious till morning. Drive us to Yue Mansion, Lyne. Tyrone and I will stay there for a few days while Uncle is there. You then drive back to my house and keep Boris inside one of our detention rooms there. I'm still undecided if I will keep Uncle in the loop about this one," Raine commented.

"I thought I'll be flying back to country D?" Tyrone asked.

"I changed my mind. You stay here. Dan just reported how well the military provides security to Xander and his family. I will need you more here…" Raine plainly commented. She too was getting annoyed over her indecisiveness pertaining to Tyrone. It was so unlike her.

They arrived at the Mirage territory and they managed to sneak Boris inside. Lyne dropped Raine and Tyrone at the mansion first, then proceeded to go to Raine's private residence as instructed.

"It's your first time here, so what do you think about the changes?" Raine asked as they went inside the Yue's Ancestral Mansion. 

"Changes? You make it sound like it's not my first time here…" Tyrone whispered.

"Who knows…" Raine murmured with a dark expression on her face.

"This is the Yue ancestral mansion, but my father made a lot of changes here years ago. They renovated everything and made it like this." Raine added as she continued to walk to the hallway.

"You have less security," Tyrone noted.

Raine scoffed, "Is that what you think? The Yue Group has top-notch electronic businesses in the world, Tyrone. With all the high technologies invented by us, you should expect lesser manpower pertaining to security. This ancestral house alone is a dead end in case the Convel Society attacks us. With all the devices installed in here programmed automatically, those werewolves will be illuminated without our people even breaking a sweat…"

Tyrone didn't comment as Raine's expression sharpened. They went upstairs, where Raine occupied the east wing of the mansion.

"I will give you all the information you need in here since you're my right-hand man, Tyrone. Tomorrow, I will hand to you the floor plans of this mansion along with all the secret passages, including the underground facility." Raine stopped and turned at him with an intense stare before she continued, "I trust you, after all."

Tyrone creased his forehead… There was something strange with Raine's expression, "What's wrong?"

Raine smiled at him, "I'm just tired…" 

Raine paused at the door and opened it.

"Use this room next to mine," Raine relayed, but Tyrone closed the door and said, "I will walk you to your room."

Raine didn't say a word and let Tyrone walk her inside her bedroom. 

"Do you want me to prepare tea?" Tyrone asked. 

Raine just stared at him, "Do you think Nathaniel will spare me and my father if he succeeded in invading the Moon Clan?"

Tyrone stopped from his trance. There was a moment of silence before he replied, "I don't know since I'm not aware of the details on why there's a feud between your clan and the Convel Society. All I know is that you and your clan are killing werewolves. And we all know that the Convel Society is a society of werewolves."

Raine smirked, "To cut the story short… My father killed Nathaniel's family upon knowing that his mother was a werewolf… Nathaniel's father was the former King of the Moon Clan before my father usurped the leadership. And now, Nathaniel is the King of the Convel Society…"

"I don't know what to say. Do you think Nathaniel has a reason to spare you and your father? He might spare you since it was not your sin to commit… But your father… there's no way he will spare your father…"
