Deal with a temptress.2

Sharing a surprise look at each other, Dalian was quick to cover up her shocked expression. Unlike the others, which made her still the head keeper of this territory.

* Well then, you won't mind adding a few numbers to our request! * Dalian said with a sharp glint in her scarlet pupils, which now shone from delight; with a little smile on her lips.

* Your reasons for requesting blood of a norm, I won't ask! * Mr Porter said with a straight face. * I would be adding ten more jars to your requested number and nothing more. * Mr Porter added in a nonchalant tone whilst he stood up from his seat.

* Sure... sure. It would be as you have said, Mr Porter * Dalian said standing up along with the rest of her partners at the table.

All through the conversation, both men in the room rarely participated, even though the conversation involved them. Since it was their duty being talked about; scouting of foreign and dangerous places which they had no issues under taking the task.

* I will take my leave now. * Mr Porter said while turning around to leave, in the direction of the door.

* Mr Porter. Since we would be navigating the other keeper's territory. I would like volunteering to go alone! * The man with dark green layered hair and tiny horns on his forehead spoke out while stepping out of his seat. Which attracted a stare from his fellow partners in the room, since they hadn't discussed it yet.

* Alright! You could go alone...but I want results. Send Gurus over, with a detailed copy of the map. Specific arrangements will be given afterwards! * Mr Porter said walking away from the room with Gurus following after him. It was to speed up the process of acquiring a very rare medicine which he got news of its inhabitant in a dangerous ruin faraway, towards the outskirts of Orene kingdom that he sorted these witches. Since they had few ideas about treading through the path leading to dangerous ruin, while preventing losses of manpower involved in the process.

Soon after the departure of Mr Porter from the room, the once hidden tension in the room returned again. Which caused all four of them to walk out of the room in separate directions without using the entrance to exit the room; holding a dismayed look on their faces. Since the dark forest was a lawless land, the battle for survival and power was very heated. This reason made anyone who has the power with enough backing of a keeper envied by many other witches here.

Outside the room, along the hallway leading to the right wing of the castle which was currently dark with lesser number of torches on the pathway. The man with two tiny horns walked through it holding a calm look on his face.When suddenly he senses a familiar disturbance in the air, which he didn't take seriously and kept walking forward with a fascinated look on his face.

* Would you look at your calm demeanor. So eager to venture all by yourself through the first keeper's territory! * A resounding voice laced with dismay rang in his ears, which made him halt in his steps.

* I never knew you were now interested in my affairs so eagerly... Virwen! * He said chuckling inwardly at her indirect act of enquiring about his movement. The woman named Virwen was none other than the slimy skin woman present in the room back then at the meeting.

Though there was greed which wasn't restrained amongst each other here, still they try maintaining a certain level of truce when communing with one another most times.

* Nothing much! Just hoping you are not up to any old tricks... * And her words caused him to laugh out in amusement, which he didn't restrain in any sense.

* Virwen I'm not a two face. Back stabbing person like you are.* He retorted nonchalantly, being straight with her since she could hear him just as he could hear her.

* I would keep my nose out of your business then! * Virwen retorted.

What followed after her words, was an eerie silence all over the hallway in which the male rogue witch stood.

* Now that's better! * He said, dipping his hands into his pocket and continuing his movement towards the end of the hallway; after which he vanished.

Back at the dark forest's entrance. A dark mini vortex appeared at the outskirts of the dark forest. Afterwards Mr Porter stepped out of the spiralling mini vortex, which closed immediately after he stepped out.

He dusted his shoulder and forearm, still walking forward.

* Sir should I help you with that? * A man on black suit walked towards him, pulling out a handkerchief for him.

* Oh... don't worry about that Roland. * Mr Porter said while approaching him towards the levitating vehicle parked a few distances from him, where Roland stood.

The man named Roland reached out for the door of the vehicle, being Mr Porter's personal aid; before he would get closer to the vehicle. Mr Porter walked towards the door which made Roland to step aside slightly, and whispered something into his ear. The context of the message which Roland told him caused a quick flash of emotions in his eyes. Which didn't last for longer, cause the door of the vehicle was opened for him to see who he didn't think he would see. * You finally took my unanswered calls... * Mr Porter said amidst getting into the back seat in the vehicle and he kept eye contact with the other person seated in the vehicle. Meanwhile Roland moved towards the other side of the vehicle from the outside to get inside and head towards their next destination.

The person seated in the vehicle was a young man in his mid twenties. Glistened white silver long hair reaching his shoulder. His hair was different from Mr Porter's, his was silver white in colour and Mr Porter's was a sharp constraint of white. Each strand of the young man's hair was shiny and silky white, with a dark hairpin keeping it held behind him and few strands left falling on his face. His skin was fair, much fairer than most ladies; which made him look white. Silver colored eyes, perfectly shaped eyebrows and thick red cherry full lips. And a very handsome feature; pulling stares and attention towards him, from afar even in a large crowd. He had a grey suit on and a grey tie. One similarity which he had in common with Mr Porter was the same white glove on his hands. He had a deadly and intimidating aura which he kept around him always.

In an elegant and poised manner, he sat relaxed on the seat of the vehicle. Placing his right leg over the other, keeping eye contact with Mr Porter, just as the latter also did. Minutes passed and silence reigned in the back seat of the vehicle, which felt like two strangers were meeting for the first time. A couple more minutes passed, afterwards the young man curved his lips in a graceful manner and said.

* Father... *
