After leaving Adam in what she hoped was the coolest way possible for anyone to enact, Medusa mentally directed a call to someone using her VR set.

In the corner of her vision, the icon of a ringing phone appeared as soon as she made the call before it was finally replaced by the insignia consisting of two letters.

[~S.K~]

[Yah. What are you calling me for ya old snake?]

A boyish but most definitely the voice of a woman came from the other side of the connection. The opening answer was rather rude but this did not anger Medusa a single bit. She knew very well what kind of person she had called to and it was just harmless banter on her side. There was nothing to be taken personally on just this much.

Hence, Medusa merely chuckled at her words, "I am currently younger than you, you know?"

[You are just cheating, ya old hag. Normal humans don't have your skills, you know that right? So, that doesn't count.]

"Blame yourself then. Git Gud, as they say."

[Oh my… You seem to be in a good mood today. What gives?]

"Well… I finally found a protege."

[Oh…]

The laughter in the voice of her friend stopped entirely, as she gave a more serious intonation to her voice…

[I am suddenly curious. Just what kind of person did you choose?]

"Well. He is definitely interesting. He—"

[Sorry to interrupt but… He? A man? Are you friggin serious right now? I thought you hated men?]

"Hmmm…? What made you think so?"

[Seriously? You want me to quote all the instances where you showed your obvious distaste for men now?]

"Well…"

[Damn. Now I am definitely curious about this protege of yours. Anyways, I suppose you wanna ask me to make a custom armor for him, right? Do you have his measurements and data with you?]





Medusa sighed thankfully at the change of conversion her friend did for her, she was not really in the mood to talk about her distastes, "Indeed. He already registered in the association. You should have all the biometric data necessary."

"What will be the main material?"

Medusa coughed slightly as she cleared her throat before muttering to her in a very soft voice, "What do you think of the scales and blood of a Snake?"

[...Seriously?...]

"I have never been more serious than I am now."

[Damn…]

The voice was much much quieter right now,

[Really… Damn fuck! I don't know if I should be impressed, astonished, or just plain old disgusted. Is it some kind of mating ritual or something? Did you take on a protege or a husband?]

A flush covered Medusa but she did not relent on her decision, "I doubt there are many materials equal to the ones coming from me."

[You bet baby. You are literally a walking treasure trove. If you were weak, you would have ended your life in some facility while being used as some kind of renewable resource.]

[~S.K~] laughed at her own joke before sighing out loud,

[Well… Anyways, calm your tits for now. I will create a test armor first and send it as a test model. Once I get the feedback I will finally use your material for the best result possible for this protege of yours.]

[Yooshhh! I am fired up now. I can feel the motivation surging throughout my body already. Send me all the information later. Bye-bye.]

Then, without waiting for Medusa to even respond back to her, she immediately cut the call, most likely starting to draw the Blueprint for the custom armor.

Medusa had no fear. Even a prototype made by this mad woman would be enough to be sold for literal gold.

eαglesnovel`c,om "Kukuku~ Adam, soon I will always be with you…"

Her eyes shone lightly as she began to vanish in the crowd.

What she could not have known was that Adam had really taken her advice to heart and while she was speaking quietly with a sound barrier, she was still in the domain of his innate skill 'The World.'

When she finally left the confines of his domain, Adam was left alone with his mouth hanging open and goosebumps crawling all over his skin.

"Sigh… Why do I always attract the crazy ones?"

He had heard the conversation from Medusa's side and managed to understand the gist of it.

[Is this not your first experience?]

'I met a girl of this kind when I was in high school. Didn't end on a good note, to be honest, due to her obsession with me.'

He started to wonder if it would be wise to keep contact with Medusa or not. Sadly, even his non-rational side was screaming at him to not fuck up this relationship between them.

'You're already too deep into the rabbit hole to escape now.'

Adam sighed and swept his hair. In the end, he was more mature and powerful than he was in the past. The him now may have made a decision far different from back then.

'I wonder if she is doing alright…'

He knew that Tsubasa was at least in a better place mentally than she was when they were in a relationship.

Now, all he had to do was simply forget this relationship ever happened and focus on what was in front of him.

"I should go back home."

He had been outside for nearly two days now. This hadn't even happened through his delinquent days.

Then again, what he was doing currently was admittedly far, far worse than what he could have ever done in those days.

"Let's go."

He started walking away. The intent of finally resting washed over his body. Tomorrow, he planned to call Shuri and have a discussion with her.

Tonight, he would just go to the bar and have some fun at the Wild Hunt with Yui.

Finally, about whether the vial of blood was safe or not… Even if it was safe to consume, he did not want any unwanted side effects to appear later in Cecilia's body.

He was sure that Medusa would not trick him into something… But at the same time, he barely knew the quite literal mad woman for hours. For all he knew, this was just another facade. A face she was wearing in front of him while she manipulated his mind like the master manipulator she was.

'Well then. Who can I trust about this?'

There was only one person… and that was Eve, his doting grandmother. She was the only one with the power and knowledge necessary to judge the effects of this vial.

Of course, he could also drink a part of it and wait for it to work its wonders. If something happened to him he would just have to kill himself and be done with it.

[Wild Hunt]

It was around 10 pm when a car slowly rolled into the parking slot and a sensual woman wearing a beautiful night blue robe and a pair of blue ears, stepped out of her car.

One man immediately came to her and took the keys and another helped her up until they reached the reception desk.

"May I help you, madam? Do you have a reservation?"

"Indeed. This is for a work-related banquet. I reserved one of the VIP rooms."

The expression of the receptionist changed immediately as he took a second list out of the desk… "May I know under what name you are registered and could you show an ID as proof?"

The woman smiled and took out her ID, "It's under the name of Shuri Nakiri."

She looked up quietly at the building. Since she had decided to come, she might as well use it to the fullest.

(An: Welp, here we are, the end of Book 1 is slowly creeping. It wasn't easy and many times I expressed doubt. Because of my slow growth and everything. I wondered if I should simply drop the story, or rewrite or try a new story. Now that I am nearly 200 chapters in, while I still have doubts, I am really happy that I didn't give up. GoC has many flaws but I think it's a good story with great potential. Anyway here to a new month. Thanks for helping me guys by supporting my work. I hope we will have an enjoyable month.)
