Chapter 79 - Phantom Wolves

The next morning, Zach woke completely refreshed from which he got up after seeing an unfamiliar ceiling. It was only a moment later that the memories of last night came back to him and it made him smile unknowingly. He then just looked around to see Shiela however, no shadow of her could be found inside so he got out of the bed and headed outside of the room. 

After getting out, Zach finally saw Shiela in her nightgown in the kitchen brewing some coffee while humming. Silently walked closer to her, he then just embraced her from behind and gave her a warm kiss on the neck. 

"Good morning." Zach greeted me with a smile. 

"Hngg.. G-Good morning, Zach." Shiela also greeted with her eyes closed after being surprised by Zach's touches. She knew that it was him despite not looking who it was since no man except him was allowed to enter her house.

Following that, Zach then just turned around Shiela so they could see each other's faces. However, it didn't take long before the two started kissing each other after their bodies started to heat up. 

Not before long, Shiela broke the kiss as she looked at Zach full of joy and relief after what they had done last night and also after seeing that it didn't become awkward for the both of them. 

"You're mine now, Shiela." Zach declared before giving her forehead a warm kiss. 

Shiela felt the tenderness of Zach and the warmth of his care however, that was when she noticed that Zach was still completely naked and that his cock could be found already angry while pointing at her. 

"I-I'm sorry. You're just too hot this morning." Zach said with a cheeky smile. 

Seeing this, Shiela just smiled at him before she moved down and kneeled on the floor. Following that, both of them then started making out in the kitchen all the way to the bathroom as they thoroughly cleaned each other. 

After satisfying themselves, Zach and Shiela then both came back to his house and were immediately teased by Zoey, Sophia, and Eun Ae as they started inquiring about all the details that happened last night however, there's no ounce of hate or jealousy on them as they were all happy instead as they welcomed Shiela to the Anderson family. 

Zach then spent the whole morning with everyone especially his daughter Angel while ordering some of the Rangers outside to call on the other shelter owners for a meeting in the afternoon as he had something to discuss and give to them. 

Time passed by and after having lunch, Zach immediately headed to Earth and directly went to the meeting room of the headquarters building deciding to wait for everyone there while also wanting to see the entirety of Eden. 

Not before long, Ethan and the other shelter owners arrived one by one before finally all of them were now sitting around the table looking at Zach waiting for him to start the meeting and hear what he wanted to discuss today. 

"Let's not take this long. I call you all here because of this. This is an item that will drop after killing silver-class monsters or beasts. Unlike the ordinary Job Class Scrolls that we can get occasionally from the bronze-class monster, this one was classified as Rare. Take a look at them." Zach said from which he took out eight Knight Job Class Scrolls and gave it to them. 

Everyone got one and they were all quite surprised after seeing the description of the item as they immediately looked at Zach wanting to know what he wanted to do with it by showing it to them. 

"If you want it then you can have it. It's your choice, however, I encourage you all not to and wait for other opportunities to come. Since silver-class monsters dropped Rare Job Class Scrolls, I bet killing gold-class monsters would drop a higher class than that." Zach said while giving them the freedom to change their class. 

"However, it's not still sure when can we discover a gold-class monster and if we can even kill it. Well, that's the problem. With my current state, I think I can now handle silver-class monsters on my own. So, when you get any news of silver-class monsters in your shelter, you can call me and I will handle it. Don't worry, I promised that all the drop items will be given to anyone who discovers it." Zach said since the most important thing to him right now was to level up. 

"Now, if you choose not to use it. You can give it to your Shelter Manager and if they don't, then give it to the one you felt was deserving to have it." Zach continued while looking at everyone. 

"Thank you, Chief." Ethan and the other shelter owners replied immediately after being given such a valuable item. 

"The second thing I want to discuss is to try gathering information about the other shelters near yours and try inviting them to join Eden. Also, if you know about a shelter with Russian Residents, do immediately report it back to me." Zach said as it was now time for more expansion and at the same time, he wanted to find his dead companion Nikolai's family as he promised to look after them when he died. 

"Yes, Chief. Everyone replied. 

"Lastly, I now have 120 Bronze Cores again. I will give it to the one who has the highest Bronze Cores that they have collected so far. Don't worry, it's only a matter of time before I can gather that many again." Zach lastly said from which he then took out a hundred and twenty Bronze Cores from his inventory. 

Hearing this, all the shelter owners who still have bronze shelter at the moment were greatly excited about this news and so the lucky ones were Isabelle and Carl while the rest just hoped that Zach could gather them sooner. 

Following that, Zach then dismissed everyone so they could now deal with their own business. He, on the other hand, stayed behind as Anna and some people from the Lifestyle Group came inside as he also had something to discuss with them. 

"Anna. Take these and distribute them properly." Zach said while giving Anna all the ordinary class Job Scrolls he had with him as he pretty much gathered some new ones after his trip to Greenland. 

"Also, have the survivors under you start constructing a hospital in Eden and its branches to other countries. Also, ask all the Doctors for all the necessary equipment and supplies they need so I can buy them." Zach followed as this was something of great importance knowing that Sophia was pregnant with his child and that he wanted her to deliver without any complication. 

"By the way, if there are survivors in the Lifestyle Group who want to join the Rangers then just refer them all to Zoey. That will be all. Thank you for all of your hard work and I hope you will continue to do so." Zach lastly said while thanking them for their efforts to work for Eden.

With that, Zach finally completed all the things that he needed to do for the day. He then just stood up and walked towards the window as he looked at the survivors living in Eden and suddenly thought of the day that this place would become crowded with people living happily inside. 

"We still had a long way to go." Zach muttered before he left the room and headed back to Undead Enclave Shelter planning to spend the rest of the day with his family as he planned on moving out again soon and probably take some time before he would come back. 

Two weeks later, after staying idle for two weeks pampering all his lovers, Zach finally heard great news coming from Ethan after he reported that they seemed to have found a silver-class beast in their area, so he immediately set off toward Wolves' Den Shelter to see it for himself. 

Arriving at Ethan's shelter, the first thing that Zach noticed was the place was quite good, especially the environment which was the same as on Earth however, he was not there to sightsee but to hunt the beast that Ethan had told was a silver class. 

With that, Zach then was guided by Ethan and his elite group of 10 Rangers to the place since it would take them two to three days to arrive in the targeted area, however, aside from Zach, everyone was surprised when they only took just one day after they rode on Adam and Eve as they travel as fast as they could. 

Right now, everyone could be seen hiding in the trees while looking at the lake in the distance. It was a beautiful lake however, everyone did not have the courage to go in as there was a pack of wolves resting in the area.

There were exactly thirty of them with 1 of them undeniably the leader seeing it two times the size of Adam and Eve while the two standing beside it were just as big as Adam and Eve while the rest were just larger than a normal wolf. 

[Beast: Phantom Wolf 

Beast Tier: 1 

Beast Level: 35 

Beast Classification: Silver 

Beast Skills: Intimidation, Phantom Claws, Enhance Agility] 

Using Appraisal skills, Zach has come to know the name of the alpha wolf and he sees that it really was a silver-class beast just like Ethan said whereas the two Phantom Wolves beside it are also bronze-class while the rest are ordinary. 

Looking at the appearance of the Phantom Wolf, Zach admitted that it really had a very intimidating aura and the same could be said for the two wolves beside it. He can't help but think how should he approach this as he feels like the Phantom Wolf in front of him is more dangerous than the Undead Knight he killed before. 

"Stay here and no matter what happens, just wait for my instruction." Zach said before he stood up and walked toward the location of the pack of wolves hoping that his Beast Affinity skill would work on them because if not, then a bloodbath would surely happen. 

Hearing Zach, Ethan and his group just remain silent while getting nervous seeing him moving closer to the wolves. They can't help but wonder if he had a plan since what they were dealing with this time was another silver-class monster however, knowing Zach, they could only believe in him. 

Meanwhile, Zach was getting closer and closer to the lake before finally stepping on the clear field which immediately attracted the attention of the wolves. Seeing them, he then just smiled while showing that he didn't come with ill intentions however, the wolves growled at him before running ferociously towards his direction. 

"Just like I thought. It won't work. Fuck this." Zach said as he immediately took out two War Pistols in his hand and pointed them at the incoming wolves. In fact, he already thought that this approach would not bear any result since wolves are ferocious in nature thus his Beast Affinity would not help him at all. 

….Bang…. 

….Bang…. 

Zach started firing against the wolves and each bullet would immediately kill the ordinary ones as if they were nothing. Seeing their companions dying, the two bronze Phantom Wolves started to move and run toward his direction however, he was not scared of them seeing that they were just bronze-class beasts. 

"Adam. Eve. Take care of these two." Zach called out Adam and Eve in his consciousness and they immediately intercepted the two bronze Phantom Wolves that were coming at him. With that, he then directed his attention to the silver class Phantom Wolf which completely surprised him upon seeing it already gone from its previous position. 

"Zach. Watch out!!"

Zach heard the warning and even anticipated the sudden threat after a red Surviving Line flashed through his eyes so he immediately used Blink and appeared 25 meters away and that was when he saw the Phantom Wolf staring at him at his original position. 

"That was close." Zach muttered as he looked at the Phantom Wolf in the distance. He then just gets his composure back and focuses all his attention on it not wanting to lose him from his sight as this will be quite a tricky and dangerous opponent he has faced so far.
