Sonia anger

James wanted to shake his head but he couldn't. "I am serious and I confirmed it. I checked every hospital in the city but found no relative of hers hospitalized," he paused for a while. "Oh right, that day when I told you that I am busy, I was just trying to make her lead me to her boyfriend, but we ended up in school. Even though she left as soon as we were some meters away from the school, I still investigated the school." James' memories suddenly turned blurry, and he remained silent for a while before saying, "But the school has no record of her." The words were not what he wanted to say, but somehow he couldn't control himself. Plus, his memories were somehow unclear, and the information he got was blank in his head.

Devin was clearly happy that Emmy didn't have a boyfriend, but who was she doing everything she was doing for? Was she under someone's threat? Devin's happiness turned into worry.

Seeing the worry in Devin, James sighed. "I myself couldn't understand everything that is going on. I am confused," he said. "This is the first time in my life that I am experiencing something difficult." He murmured in regret. He tried to recall something but couldn't; he could only give up helplessly.

Poor James, he didn't know because he had no ill intentions towards Emmy. That's why he was still alive today. If not, he wouldn't be regretting failing a task now.

Devin frowned, lost in thought. He recalled Emmy's movements in the house, whether he was around or not. She didn't seem to be under someone's threat. But what could be so important that she is willing to spend her time and energy on? This matter was not as simple as it seems. "Seems like I will have to contact Sam," he thought to himself.

James looked at the cold Devin and said, "Devin, help me readjust my head a little."

Devin looked at him and smirked coldly. "How about I find you a lady to accompany you?"

James was speechless. "Never mind, I am fine now." He chose to ignore Devin.

Devin just smiled lightly, but there was a frown on his brows. Upon a closer look, one could see him suppressing his bitterness. "You are very close to me, yet far away. What are you hiding, Emmy?" He thought.

At the abandoned hut,

Sonia grabbed Dimitri's neck. Her golden eyes were sparkling and glowing with anger. Her nine tails, which were behind her, danced in different directions. Her loose hair spread out and moved like the wind, and upon a closer look, one could see four small fangs as she opened her mouth to bite Dimitri. "Tell me, why don't you let me kill him? He is spying on Mother. Why did you stop me?" Sonia's voice was filled with fury.

Flashback:

When the beasts entered James' house, he was still preparing his meal. As he turned around, he was met with a sight of various wild animals at the kitchen entrance. Shocked, he quickly stepped back, he lost his balance and fall heavily on the floor. The animals glared at him as if he had stolen their treasure.

He wanted to scream, but his voice seemed to be blocked by something, leaving him only able to crawl back on his butt in fear.

Sonia, becoming increasingly irritated at the thought of James daring to spy on their mother, took the lead and launched an attack towards James. However, in mid-air, a giant tail sent her flying.

The impact of the tail hitting her cause Sonia to immediately lose consciousness.

Dimitri, in his beast form, approached the frightened James and crawled closer to him. Dimitri raised his head with his tail to stare deeply into James' eyes. Like a camera, Dimitri memorized everything related to Emmy in James' memories. After memorizing the information, Dimitri released James.

"The fact that you didn't mind your own business will be the reason for your punishment," he said as he mercilessly hit James with his tail.

"Ahhhhh!" James screamed loudly, somehow finding his voice. He was tortured by the five beasts until he lost consciousness.

Dimitri transformed back into his human form and gently picked up the sleeping golden nine-tailed fox, Sonia. "Freeze his memories, Snow. Freeze the information he obtained from the principal about Mother as well."

Snow transformed and walked over to James, grabbing his head mercilessly and freezing the necessary information about Emmy in his mind. After completing her task, Snow looked around the house and, with just a thought, she disabled all the cameras. None of their actions were recorded on the cameras.

The beasts left miraculously after completing their mission.

Present

Sonia, calm down. Dimitri did this for our own good. That guy didn't harbor any ill thoughts against Mother. If we kill him, we will have committed a sin, and if Mother finds out, she will be angered," Sonia said, her expression serious, a look that had never appeared on her face before.

Sonia finally calmed down; her tails disappeared, her hair settled, and her fangs slowly returned to normal teeth. "You guys should have told me. You shouldn't have knocked me unconscious," she released Dimitri's neck and cast him a deadly glare.

"You were too rash. You didn't even sense his soul before attacking. Who's to blame?" Dimitri shrugged.

"Hmph." Sonia huffed and found herself a seat.

"Mother is currently working in a guy named Devin's house. That guy didn't treat Mother badly," Dimitri said.

"I sense Mother is hiding something from us, but I can't point out what and why," Sonia said.

"I sense the same. What could be the reason?" Desmond asked.

"No matter what the reason is, I didn't sense her wanting to abandon us, so she must have her reasons," Dimitri replied.

"I hope it's not something that will cost her life," Dave said.

Sonia replied confidently, "I didn't sense death, so it's not a life-threatening matter."

Let's go back to the school first before anyone noticed our absence. "Sonia said and led the way out".

They left the hut and headed back to the school.

....

At a huge mansion, in Enward's room.

a young handsome man was sitting comfortably on an expensive chair, smiling foolishly with his eyes closed.

"Enward, are you sure everything is well with you?" a lady in a revealing dress asked, "You have been like this for the past two days. Are you possessed?" she inquired again.

Enward opened his eyes and gave the lady a smile. "Mary, sis, I want to get married."

Mary's mouth fell open in shock. "Don't make fun of me. Who wasn't aware that you would be single for the rest of your life with your pickiness in women?" Mary scoffed, not taking Enward's words seriously.

"Sis, I'm serious. I just want her and want to marry her," Enward replied.

Mary looked at Enward as if she had just seen a ghost. "Which lady turned you like this?" she asked.

"Sis, her name is Santiana. Her beauty is... oh, my goodness... her beauty is beyond words. Mary, if we compare your beauty with hers..." Enward smiled mockingly, "you are nothing. I mean your beauty is nothing beside hers."

"Say that again!" Mary stood up in anger, pointing angrily at Enward. "You dare to criticize my beauty? Fine, I would like to see what she really looks like," she huffed angrily.

"I'm not criticizing your beauty; I'm just saying it's inferior to hers," Enward chuckled, handing Mary his phone. "Check her picture."

Mary stared deadly at Enward, took the phone, and when she saw the beauty on the screen, her mouth fell wide open in shock. "Is... is this a perfectly made surgery?" she asked, staring at the black-haired Sona dressed in a hot dress. She almost crushed the phone.

Seeing Mary's reaction, Enward chuckled. "Sorry to disappoint you, but this isn't surgery," he replied.

"This can't be real. How can a human be more beautiful than an anime? Did you edit it to ridicule my beauty?" Mary refused to believe.

Enward stood up, snatched his phone away from Mary's grip with two fingers. "I said I want to marry her. Would I marry edited pics? You have no choice but to believe, sis; she is real."

"I swear I must see her with my own eyes," Mary said, clearly not believing him.

Enward suggested, "Let's make a bet."

"Not interested," Mary replied, knowing that even if she won, Enward would still snatch the credit away.

Enward laughed. "Sister is jealous of my soon-to-be wife," he shouted and ran out.

"Seriously? Jealous? As if she is even real," Mary spat. She sat down, stood up again, picked up her phone from the bed, and went out.
