As they were within the room, Tracy walked in, and then Kila sighed as she walked towards the entrance of the room.
"Where's she going?" Tracy asked as she watched Kila leave, and Dexter shrugged.
The young boy within the cage looked out and saw Dexter. He raised a brow, curious about the new individuals in the room.
Meanwhile, the scientists looked at Dexter with unpleasant expressions on their faces. They were sure they would have been able to hold him down with the help of a sixth-class human like Jack, but they were wrong. This vampire turned out to be more powerful than that... at least they knew his weakness.
Tracy walked forward and opened the lock on the cage. She opened the door and gestured for the young fox to leave, and Dexter didn't say anything as she did it.
"W-what's happening?" The boy looked resistant to come out, and Dexter noticed that the boy looked towards the scientists who were behind him.
"What's going on?" Dexter's cold voice reached their ears, and then one of them from the side walked forward.
He was a fatty with short afro hair, and he put his hands together as he walked forward.
"Well, you see. This one has nowhere to go as it got lost. So we've been taking care of him, and he will obey all our orders to stay," the man said, and Dexter looked at him.
Hearing the man, Tracy looked within the cage and stretched her hand towards him.
"Come on, little one," Tracy stretched her hand towards the boy, and he shook his head.
"I won't get any meat today." The boy was resistant.
"I'll give you some then, you don't have to stay in a cage." Tracy still persisted, and the boy took her hand before coming out of the cage.
Dexter walked towards the boy and bent down before him, looking him in the eye.
"Where are you from?"
"I don't... know." The boy replied, and Dexter furrowed his brows.
In the past, there was a time Kila and some of her brethren from the Snow Clan were out on a job and they were all abducted.
She found herself in a basement with her fellow vampires, and she watched a human tear them apart.
She was stabbed with a natural metal, making her find it hard to even move. It's like it was siphoning her strength.
She was lucky that other vampires found them before it got to her turn, and she was scarred for life. Her clan leader, of course, couldn't care much as there were still weaker vampires of the clan.
But this time, she was really scared while she was in the lab. She couldn't move, as the knife in her spine made her immobile.
She was at least glad that the one who commands her was Dexter. She was done being kidnapped; she has to grow strong somehow.
"I have to grow stronger," Kila said with resolution in her eyes, and Dexter soon came in again.
"Oh, and here," he stretched forth his hand with an open palm, and five items appeared on it.
They were five black rings, and he gave them one each.
"This is armor that can blend within your clothes and provide extra defense," he said as he gave each of them, including his mother.
Jane took it, and once again she was glad to have a son like Dexter.
He then brought out a box of fruits and gave each of them. Tracy was still with the little fox, ensuring that the scientists gave the boy a proper room.
He ate one of the spirit evolution fruits and gave them to his mum, Kila, and Lily. Eating it, Dexter felt as if cold water traveled around inside his body, and he felt his body was getting stronger.
A golden screen popped up in front of him with words on it.
[Consumed spirit evolution fruit x1. Strength +70, spirit energy +600]
Dexter nodded at the results, and he was indeed satisfied with the additional stat points he received.
Now... all that was left was to go hunt a sixth-class creature and evolve finally.
