"So, you want us to recover a magic artefact that no one had heard about?" Ashton asked as soon as Eula was done putting in her request.
"That's the gist of it." She replied, "Only someone from the direct lineage of Lilith can recover the artefact. Since my family is the only pureblood succubi family in the galaxy, the Metal Sharks targeted me to force me to get to Lilith's staff."
It was all news to Ashton. The rumour about Eula offending the metal shark was a hoax she used to hide the real reason behind their relentless attacks.
Even Ashton found it hard to believe that a galaxy-wide criminal organisation was targeting a pop star just because of a stupid remark, and his instincts proved to be correct this time as well.
However, he couldn't blame Eula. If what she said was true, then thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people, wouldn't stop at anything to get their hands on the artefact.
'What do you think, Astaroth?'
