Chereads / The Sanguine Lord ( Urban Fantasy) / Chapter 29 - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 - Chapter 29

In an extravagant mansion, the atmosphere was charged with tension as a man in an extravagant red suit abruptly stood up from his seat, his black hair framing his angular face and intense red eyes. His frustration was palpable as he called for one of his subordinates, "Sara. "His powerful voice rang through the room.

A bit later, a beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes entered the room. She looked charming in her white top which showed just a bit of cleavage and a pencil skirt which reached up to her knees and accentuated her curves.

"Lord Ken," she addressed him, her voice melodious yet firm.

The man addressed as Lord Ken began to speak, his voice carrying a blend of impatience and seriousness. "The connection I had with Kira, it's gone."

Her eyes widened in disbelief, a gasp escaping her red lips. "No way. How is that even possible?"

Lord Ken's expression was a mix of frustration and confusion. "I don't have the answers yet. But I need to find out. Kira is crucial to my plans, and I won't let her slip away."

His determination was clear in his eyes as they locked onto his subordinates. "You need to find her, no matter what it takes. Put a bounty on her to be brought here alive. I won't let her stay free for long."

She nodded, understanding the urgency of the situation. "Consider it done, Lord Ken."

With that, she turned and left the room, leaving Ken to wrestle with his thoughts in solitude. His carefully laid-out plans were now thrown into disarray by this unexpected twist. As he pondered the implications of what had happened, a sinister smile crossed his lips. The hunt for Kira had begun, and he was determined to reclaim what he believed was rightfully his. He wouldn't let anything come in the way of his carefully planned revenge.

The torture he had experienced was still fresh on his mind like it had all happened yesterday.

"Kahn, "Ken shouted the name of his arch-enemy as he clenched his fist. As he relived the brutal moments of his life, his eyes reddened in anger and something rose from his back. Seven wings of metallic flesh emerged from his back, his face morphing to form a ferocious look.

Sara exited Lord Ken's room and quickly went to another room where a couple of guys in casual clothes were sitting on a big couch and watching something on a huge holographic screen.

"Cal. Put up a bounty on Kira to be captured alive. Put 10 million credits as a reward. "Sara said in a commanding voice as she closed the door and walked away. She didn't need to say much more. They would understand.

She walked through the grand hallway and entered another room but this one was deserted. She walked up to the wall of the room and suddenly the wall opened revealing a secret stairs, shrouded in darkness that seemed to lead straight to the underworld.

Sara walked the stairs, the sound of her heels hitting the floor echoing through the secret room. As she finally walked down the last step, a corridor appeared Infront of her. But this corridor didn't lead to rooms. It led to cages which housed the failed children of Lord Ken.

She approached the nearest cage and peered into it. A man with crazed, red eyes and sharp fangs. Four red fleshly wings danced on his back. He tried to grab the bar of the cage but the bars were tightly packed with just half a centimetre gap which would prevent the man from trying to bend the bar or grab onto it.

The man was a failure. He had been given a chance to become much more, become a Sanguine but he had failed and turned into an animal. But animal he may be, he was useful.

Sara smiled at the crazed man and opened the door. She walked inside causing the man to turn towards her. The man suddenly lunged at her as his fleshly wings accelerated towards Sara.

"Stop" Sara's powerful voice echoed in the cage. The man abruptly stopped almost like he had been frozen.

Sara was Lord Ken's child, a Sanguine made from Lord Ken's blood which meant that she was a pureblood Sanguine while this man was just a normal Sanguine. So, she could control his every action with just a word.

She stared at the frozen man with his wings extended.

"Follow me. " Sara ordered and walked away, exiting the cage and walking up the stairs. The crazed Sanguine followed her silently.

It was time for another Sanguine to be born in the expense of the crazed ones. Failure had no use in Lord Ken's mansion.
