New law of Beast Taming

Chen's excitement level had gone through the roof. The day he had been waiting for forever was finally here after a long waiting period. And for someone like Chen, it was still hard to believe.

As soon as Chen had felt the energy of his 'father' he had gotten to work and messed with the cameras. Such a historic event was not for anyone else's eyes but his own.

It turned out to be the right decision because the only thing that covered his father's body when they got out of the pool was their long pink hair.

Chen did not feel attracted to creatures sexually, but he did know how to appreciate a good-looking person. And Chen's father was extremely good-looking.

"How long has it been since I fell asleep? What time is it outside now?"

The goddess's voice was unused and a little rusted. But the words spoken sounded clear and crips despite that. That is a testimony to how powerful Father was.

They appeared to not be harmed even after sleeping for centuries without any food or water.

"It is currently the 21st century. From the time you fell asleep to the time of your awakening, a few millennia have passed. I regret to inform you that the times have changed since you last woke up."

Chen tried to let the goddess know of this news gently. He did not want to scare her since she had just woken up. But Father did not seem to be worried about the passage of time. The only indication that he even recognized such a huge change was the narrowing of the goddess's eyes.

"I see. So, a long time has passed since I was last awake. What a coincidence that I wake up in a time zone when 'she' is active as well. But then again, I guess this is what we call destiny."

Kori whispered but those words did not make sense to Chen. He just knew that father was awake and that was a cause for celebration.

'I also need to get rid of the loose-lipped staff before the news of Father's awakening spreads around. I will have to make a lot of contract seals to shut my staff's mouth.'

Chen was going to get busy now. But it was alright. Since his goal was half fulfilled, this hassle was worth it in the end.

"Chen, would you show me around? It has been some time since I was last awake and I can see that a lot has changed since then."

The goddess looked around and Chen bolted back to attention. If the goddess wanted to see things that belonged to the present time, then Chen was more than willing to show her around.

And to do that, he also had the perfect person in mind.

There was one person who was associated with The HIVE currently who was not an official member and could move around easily.

"Father, I will call for Kiana. She is someone who will show you around and entertain you as well. You can make use of her as you deem fit."

Kiana had served her purpose so now she was disposable. Even if anything happened to her, Chen did not care.

So, she was the perfect sacrifice to give his father this time around. And if Kiana failed to perform, then Chen had no problem killing her and her drake off.

"You are escorting me? How kind of you. Call them here and have them show me around. After all, there is a place I want to go but I do not have the means to do so without causing a lot of destruction."

Chen understood his father's meaning. Kori was letting Chen know that she had a short temper and she could blow up. Her emotions had not settled down in her new body yet.

"Of course, I understand. I will make all the necessary preparations for you to move around as you please. Give me some time and I will have your social security number as well as identifications prepared."

Kori was a goddess and she could likely do all this in the snap of her finger. But using her powers as she pleased would also alter reality. It was something that must be avoided at all costs if it could be helped.

......

Amane had taken care of the bat beast and then their group had returned to the main gate to wait for Ehn and his party.

The child had arrived within the given time frame and Ehn looked excited to be of help to Amane. The child bounced on his heels and there was also a red flush on his face when he looked at her.

"I-I am ready to help. Thank you for asking me to help you out. I will try and do my best for your sake."

Ehn assured Amane as he bounced on his heels. The guards looked a little uncomfortable once they saw Ehn and his age. Their confidence suddenly lessened and they gave Amane a concerned glance.

Of course, Amane ignored all of those looks and held her hand out for Ehn to take. The child did so quickly and his eyes sparkled in joy.

"If you are ready, then let's get going, Chen. there are a few things we need to do before I ask you to investigate the past of what happened with Kelly."

Recreating memories was a taxing process and required a lot of energy to maintain. But there was a way to lessen the burden on body and soul while using this technique.

That was to burn a certain mixture of herbs and allow them to penetrate your body. It caused you to feel full of energy and be able to handle burdens easier.

"Yoko Tsurugi, I know I am overstepping my boundaries here, but isn't that a child with you? Are you sure it is alright for you to be trusting him with something this important?"

The guards finally asked Amane, but she only looked mildly concerned by their words.

"Why won't I be okay with letting Ehn play his part and use his powers? He might look like a child but he had seen things far worse than any of you could have as a memory extractor. Do not make the mistake of thinking that he is a fragile child."

Amane warned the guards and they gulped their nervousness down as soon as they heard her words.

They realized that they had been seeing a child when they looked at Ehn. But this child had been brought up like a war machine by the people who raised him until now.

"Yoko, this place is weird. Don't you feel this weird energy when you look at this place? It's as if something is preventing me from using my powers."

Ehn confessed as he halted his footsteps. He had an uncomfortable look on his face and he did not enter the main palace.

Amane was surprised to hear Ehn's words. She had not felt the weird or uncomfortable energy he was talking about. And Sakura had not said anything to her regarding this either.@@novelbin@@

So, either only Ehn was feeling something off or it had something to do with the past residue inside this mansion that was affecting the memories of this place.

Whatever the reason, Amane found herself to be at alert against it.

"Ehn, does this energy feel too uncomfortable or hostile? You do not need to go in if you do not want to."

Amane warned Ehn but the younger looked a little dazed and drunk. He seemed to be playing around with the energy in the air.

"This energy does not feel harmful. It feels warm and caring. But felt caring at the same time. If I had to compare it, it feels like a father's touch would feel. I think. It's difficult to explain what I am feeling right now."

Ehn seemed to be having a hard time forming words. But he also seemed convinced that this energy would not harm him.

Still, since Amane was worried about Ehn, she decided to do something about it.

"Ehn, come here. I will help you out for now."

Amane placed a shield around Ehn so that he would not get controlled or tainted by this new energy in the air. Ehn seemed to appreciate Amane's help but his face was also flushed.

"Now, let's head in. The longer we delay, the more energy Ehn would have to spend to uncover the past."

Amane made everyone hurry up. The only ones she did not allow into the room were Kelly and Karl. Those who were involved in the incident could usually lose themselves in the past. So, it was standard protocol to not have them present.

Kelly complained about being let in. But Karl understood the importance of secrecy at this moment and he decided to drag Kelly out. Once the way was clear, Amane brought Ehn into the room and it was time.

Pink smoke filled the room and Ehn looked dazed. This smoke was prepared specifically for his condition so he was the only one affected by this.

Amane only knew the theory of this drug but she had never actually used it before. It was good to see that she had not messed up her proportions.

'Then again, the book had been clear about what proportions I had to use for this.'

Ehn relaxed and his powers began to leak out. The world was beginning to fade from around the group and the scenery changed.
