Chapter 24 - CHAPTER 24: Be friends

Happy reading!

==============

Ethan, who had introduced himself to the princess of werewolves, felt happy to meet someone like her.

He could see that this woman didn't like being ordered around, especially by that crazy woman.

But... Still that crazy woman is very scary...

"huh..." he immediately sighed, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Ethan's reaction, without thinking, Athena immediately asked. "What's wrong with you?"

"hm... Nothing." Ethan answered in a low tone, his face had returned to normal.

"oh..." Athena said quietly, but a big smile was still visible on her face.

"Hey, be my friend!" Athena immediately said to Ethan, without having to think twice.

Of course, this suddenly made Ethan freeze, he didn't expect to be asked something like that.

But, soon enough, his expression returned to normal, a small grin forming on his lips, "sure, why not? I think we'll get along great!" said Ethan excitedly.

Inwardly, he was very happy with Athena who took the initiative in the first place.

He rolled his eyes at the pink panel.

[Congratulations, host, for completing your mission.]

[gains the ability called walking on air.]

[Walking on Air: allows the host to walk on air for as long as possible, time limit: 1 hour, without using mana.]

'...This is crazy, never thought that I would be able to fly one day.' Ethan muttered to himself, he couldn't wait to test this ability.

But he didn't show it in front of Athena, even if he was friends with this woman, he wouldn't let his guard down.

In the end, the woman in front of him was even much stronger than him, so he couldn't feel safe.

But he didn't know that Athena could see his alertness, but her didn't pay much attention to it.

Her eyes momentarily changed color to light blue, but it soon disappeared.

It shows that she still wants to find out about Ethan, but not as intently as before.

"So, what are you going to do next?" Athena asked in a curious tone, she kept looking at Ethan.

"I don't know, but what is certain is that I will go home." Ethan answered in a calm tone.

"oh, how about I take you?" Athena immediately offered him a ride, which surprised him for a moment.

Of course Ethan immediately refused, he didn't want his three older sisters to see they little brother bringing a woman home. "Sorry, but I want to go home alone."

Athena's face, which was originally smiling, immediately turned very gloomy.

'He rejected me...' she put on a sad face while showing her teary eyes in front of Ethan.

"..." Ethan didn't know what to say, seeing the princess of werewolves's expression made him panic inside.

Before he wanted to say anything, a voice appeared behind Athena.

"Lord Ethan, right? You'd better just accept the princess's invitation." the voice came from Erylis.

"b-but-" before he could say anything, his mouth was immediately held by his hand.

Ethan immediately panicked, but the woman immediately whispered to him, "Just follow her wishes, the princess has a complicated personality." her voice was full of pleading.

Even though he wanted to reject it, he once again turned towards Athena.

For some reason, he didn't have the heart to, and immediately nodded his head slowly.

"nod-"

Erylis immediately put on a happy expression when she saw the man accept it.

She felt relieved in her heart. Immediately, her approached where her lady was.

"Princess, Lord Ethan has accepted your invitation." Erylis said calmly, hoping that her lady would return to normal.

And sure enough, Athena's initially sad expression suddenly changed back to cheerful.

She smiled, her was happy that her new friend accepted her invitation.

So her looked at Ethan once again, and said to him in a happy tone. "I guarantee you will be surprised by what you will see!"

Ethan, who heard her words, was a little confused about what her meant, but that confusion would soon disappear.

And it would be replaced by shock, his eyes widened, seeing a gate appear before him.

He looked at Athena and Erylis, as if he wanted to find an answer.

Seeing his expression, Athena suddenly couldn't hold back her laughter, she turned to Erylis and said, "Why don't you just tell us about your abilities?" with a wide grin on her lips.

"..." Doubt arose in Erylis' heart, but she knew there was nothing she could refuse.

Without further ado, she immediately explained her abilities. "Lord Ethan, this is a special ability of our clan called shifting gate, as the only unique clan in the supernatural realm."

"..." Ethan heard the term 'transfer gate', his head was dizzy, but he understood the meaning of 'transfer'.

Still, he was very shocked. this was the first time in his life seeing something like that.

"Woah... That's great! So werewolves also have unique abilities like this?" Ethan asked excitedly, his expression now back to normal.

His eyes sparkled with curiosity, as he continued to look at Erylis curiously.

However, Erylis just smiled wryly, without wanting to tell anything about her clan.

And Athena realized that, so she immediately said to Ethan, "Okay, forget about the matter earlier, we should go inside now." while showing a small grin on her lips.

Ethan was a little disappointed, but he could tell from Erylis's expression, so he immediately forgot about it.

Before he could do anything, a hand grabbed his, and it was athena.

She immediately pulled him inside the gate without saying anything, Ethan could see a hint of sadness forming on her face.

But he immediately discarded that thought, after all, he didn't know anything about her life.

...

Grey's pov

After he finished eating, he immediately walked back to his room.

He looked out the large window, seeing Ethan who had left the house.

His expression immediately turned evil, and he took out his cell phone from his pocket.

He called someone, his name was 'unknown', but he seemed to have something to do with this number.

"..."

After waiting for a while, finally a voice was heard. "What is it?"

His tone was very heavy, full of pressure, but Grey didn't tremble.

"I want you to teach my son a lesson! He was very impudent this time!" said Grey without further ado, in a tone full of hatred.

"Huh? Are you serious? Isn't he still your son?" replied the man in a tone full of intimidation.

"Yeah, just do it, I'll pay whatever you want, of course you have to do it well." Grey said while smiling so wide that he showed his teeth.

"Then I will do it!" the man on the phone answered enthusiastically, and immediately hung up the phone.

"sound...-"

"Hehe, just wait, little brat, this is how you dare make your parents angry!" said Gray with a very happy face.

He couldn't wait to see Ethan's face after being beaten, hoping that his arrogance would disappear.

But when he remembered what happened last night, feelings of anger surged in his heart again.

He gritted his teeth tightly, he became even angrier.

But, before long, that expression returned to its original state.

He remained restrained, and hoped that the person he ordered would succeed in doing so.

He continued to wait until the man appeared in front of the gate.

After half an hour of waiting, the phone finally rang.

Without wasting any time, Grey immediately picked it up. "had reached?"

"Yes, we have blocked off the surrounding roads, and just need to wait until your son gets here." said the man so confidently.

"Good! I'll wait to hear from you again." Grey answered, his face filled with happiness.

'naughty boy! Don't blame your father for being cruel!"

Back to Ethan and Athena.

Now, he who had entered the gate saw a house in front of him.

His face was very happy, but inside he was shocked.

Feeling several people around him, somehow this feeling was similar to werewolves.

It's just that this is much weaker, and doesn't give a sense of oppression though.

Before he could say a word, Athena opened her mouth. "Tch, it turns out those were just ordinary werewolves, how dare they surround us."

Those words alone were enough to shock Ethan, but he didn't show his expression in front of her.

There was the sound of footsteps, Ethan thought that the werewolves had appeared. but... it turned out to be Erylis.

"Huft...-" Ethan involuntarily let out a sigh of relief. if he saw a werewolf behind him, he would definitely have a heart attack.

Even though the woman was a werewolf, Ethan didn't really care about it.

Suddenly a pressure hit the surroundings, making Ethan very surprised.

However, the pressure did not come from ordinary werewolves, but came from Athena.

The ground he stepped on cracked, making Ethan swallow his saliva subconsciously.

's-so strong...' was what he thought, his heart filled with disbelief at the woman he thought was his new friend.

It didn't take long for some people to start appearing.

Their faces turned extremely pale, some of them even spat out mouthfuls of blood from their mouths.

"w-wait a minute, we don't have any bad intentions!" said a man with a large body, about 188cm tall and his chest muscles were clearly visible.

"Oh... Turns out it was just a lowly omega..." Athena said in an emotionless voice, her gaze becoming sharp.

An oppressive aura immediately enveloped the omega werewolf.

He knelt on the floor helplessly, not knowing what to do.

But inside, the werewolf was very angry. 'd-damn! what is this woman!' but the anger soon disappeared and turned into fear.

"Hey... Don't think you can hide anything from me... I can feel the bad intentions radiating from within you." Athena said, her voice filled with killing intent.

She was angry, her felt very annoyed because her was disturbed by this lowly creature.

Even if they were from the same race as her, she didn't care. After all, they had spoiled her fun.

"n-no, I don't have bad intentions like that!" said the omega werewolf hurriedly, his heart filled with fear.

Even if he wanted to eliminate the fear in his heart, he couldn't, as if something was blocking him.

Heart pounding, don't know what to do.

Even the ordinary werewolves around him were lying helpless, so he could only surrender.

"Who allowed you to say a word?" Athena said, her eyes suddenly turning predatory.

Her canine teeth became sharper, but she didn't use her transformation.

Even so, it was enough to make the ground she stepped on crumble to pieces.
