Cohort

A few moments after Sia had bid Achilles farewell.

She walked along the street that was full of people but didn't have to worry about bumping into any of them since they actively avoided her while looking intensely at her like she was their goddess.

'One of the few times I feel grateful for the succubus and elf's characteristics...'

When Sia first became a Divine at the age of 16, her physiology was altered to become similar to an elf, making her beauty became even more gorgeous than it already was. Moreover, after becoming a Lesser Surpassed, her body once again received alteration, this time she had received the charm of a succubus.

This made her earn the title of the most enchanting woman in the four main races (Nominated by men of course).

Sia was what lied beyond the definition of perfection — a beauty so great that if she didn't actively suppress her charm then any man who take a glimpse of her would become a rabid dog in a second.

It was also one of the reasons why she was so interested in Achilles, the only man who could control himself even if she kissed him on her own whim.

Once Sia reached an empty alley with no one nearby, a limousine arrived in front of her. She quickly got inside and the car sped off into the distance.

Inside the limousine, she opened her digital watch to make a call to somebody.

{Good morning big sis, what did you call me for?} A cheerful feminine voice asked on the other side.

"Hey Luna, detail report on what you said yesterday. Also, how's everyone?" Sia replied in a stern voice but not as cold as she was when speaking to others.

{We have been training a lot recently, especially Mina. She seems eager to become a Surpassed.} Luna answered.

"Tell her to take her time, no need to rush."

{I will. About what you wanted to know, around two days ago, two guards on the watchtower spotted a group of Corrupted gathering near the city, they didn't seem to be attacking each other at all. It was almost as if they were following the order of something.}

"A horde huh?" Sia touched her chin while musing about what she had heard.

There were cases where a Corrupted with far more powerful strength than its peer started calling for other Corrupted to submit under its control, creating what was called a horde.

A horde was capable of sensing the life signals of highly populated areas, then they would begin their rampage upon that area.

The city had once experienced a horde invasion once before, which was why the northwest section of the city was mostly abandoned.

{Yeah. But there is something weird about this particular horde.} Luna nodded her head and said the last part with a puzzled voice.

"What is it?"

{The guards only managed to spot their appearances once before they vanished completely. It was like they disintegrated into thin air.}

Sia frowned slightly at what Luna said, she rapped on the door a few times, maintaining her silence. After a while, she suddenly spoke with her eyes turned dull grey for a split second:

[Send someone to increase security on the border, we can't afford to be reckless.]

{I got it big sis.} Luna seemingly sensed the change in Sia's voice and immediately tensed up.

After receiving the former's words, the latter hung up the call while gazing out at the window with a worried expression.

'This might spell trouble.'

Sia sat motionlessly for a while before her watch rang again, she quickly picked up the call:

"Report?"

{Yes, Ms. Evernight.} An old voice answered. {A few weeks ago your family had another meeting with the president. This has been their third meeting ever since 3 months ago.}

"Do you know what's the detail regarding their meeting?"

{Unfortunately no, Miss. What happens during those 3 meetings is extremely confidential. No one besides your father, madam Miranda, young master Brad, and the president know.}

"...Continue keeping tabs on them, try your best to dig for any detail, even the smallest." Sia ordered coldly.

{Yes, Miss.}

Sia hung up the call after that, her mood wasn't the best after all the variables that were outside of her control occurred. She cleared all the schedule for today and commanded the driver to drive back to her home.

Since she couldn't meet Achilles to tease him after they bade their farewell, she decided to stay at home for the day because she didn't want to be bothered with any work at the moment.

'Now I kind of miss our feeding session." Sia subconsciously touched her lips as a corner of her mouth raised up, revealing a mischievous smile full of possessiveness for her new toy.

[Well, there are always more playtimes...No need to rush...] Sia's eyes turned dull grey as she muttered to herself in amusement and anticipation.
