The Bored Immortal

"So tell me…what are you doing here exactly? Why are you after Viktor?" Taya asked with narrowed eyes as she looked at Vanessa with a fixed gaze.

"That is none of your concern, human, nor are you qualified to know about it," Vanessa said with crossed arms as she stared back at Taya. 

Umilia, Nyissa, Eva, and Ayana were standing around these two in the underground room and felt as if the air inside was getting chilly even without the AC on.

Taya didn't back off from Vanessa's stare and firmly stood on her spot as she casually said, "Then I am afraid we can't help you. You can go and find him yourself."

Taya was now feeling even more annoyed since it seemed that Viktor had got another woman interested in him, though she knew the reason was far from anything romantic. She already learned from Nyissa that Vanessa was coming from a powerful vampire realm and that somebody sent her to bring Viktor to her realm.

She was feeling worried if Vanessa was here to let her realm punish Viktor for putting up false claims that he was a prince of their kingdom. She still couldn't understand why he would run off his mouth like that and invite trouble.

Of course, she knew that he did to make sure his engagement with Nyissa could proceed smoothly. But couldn't he have used some other method to achieve the same thing?

"You! Do you have any idea what you are dealing with here or the consequences you might have to face if you keep acting like this?" Vanessa asked as her dark red cold eyes looked at Taya.

Taya crossed her arms as she answered coldly, "Look, no matter how much of a bigshot you are, I can't help you. It's not like I spy on Viktor every second to know about his whereabouts. He will be back when he wants to. So you can stop pestering us."

Vanessa frowned before letting out a cold chuckle, "Ha…I see now. Even you people don't have any idea where he is…right?"

Taya's eyes momentarily froze before her expression relaxed, but Vanessa smirked, seeing how she was right.

Umilia and the other three women exchanged glances before Umilia inwardly sighed, seeing how Vanessa had already caught on. Someone like her must have smelled something wrong the moment she began to question Taya.

And Taya unconsciously just confirmed Vanessa's guess.

"No wonder…That half-naked sly fox is missing as well. She wouldn't sit still for two days without annoying me. So it's only even more strange that I can't find her at all. Of course, I thought that maybe she tried to get ahead of me by taking Viktor to her realm. But as far as her realm is concerned, she is not there, which only makes me even more suspicious about what is going on and where they are," Vanessa said as her sharp fingernails scratched against each other.

Taya and the others were surprised to hear Vanessa's words since, based on what she said, Viktor wasn't in Talia's home.

So far, they guessed that Talia took Viktor to her place for whatever reason she had. And now, just like Vanessa said, they were also feeling suspicious about where Talia had taken Viktor to.

Vanessa noticed the change in the expressions of the women before her, especially Taya, who seemed a bit unsettled, "Well, it seems like you want to know where he is just as much as I want to. So how about we find out where he is first before talking about anything else? Who knows…with my help, you all find out where he is sooner than you think. Simply staying here isn't going to help. You are his woman, right…aren't you worried that someone as cunning and powerful as Talia might have already made him her mate and turned him into a mindless slave? She had her sights on him the moment she came here. And let me tell you that she is one relentless woman who wouldn't rest until she gets what she wants."

Taya clutched the fabric of her dress, feeling a bit uneasy after hearing Vanessa's words. She knew Vanessa was trying to get her worked up, but still, she felt that she might not be entirely wrong.

Of course, she wasn't worried about Viktor's life, but that didn't mean nothing else bad couldn't happen to him.

Umilia knew what Vanessa was trying to do, but at the same time, just like Nyissa, she wanted to know where Viktor was now. Initially, she thought he would be in Talia's realm, where he should be safe considering his powerful bloodline. No werewolf can be a match for him as long as the moon dominates the sky.

Ayana herself witnessed it happening that night.

But now, she and Nyissa couldn't help but feel a bit anxious about being in the dark.

Ayana was pouting, still thinking that the vixen must have purposefully taken Viktor to a hidden place to mate like animals without anybody disturbing them. Unfortunately, she had no idea that her guess was close to what actually happened.

Eva seemed the least bothered since she felt that the immoral…or the immortal devil was the kind of person who brings trouble instead of the other way. Still, she was inwardly pissed off that his disappearance was causing distress for her Madam.

"Okay…in case we are willing to work with you to find him…You have to promise me one thing," Taya firmly said.

Vanessa pulled her brows together and asked, "And what's that?"

"That you are not looking for Viktor to bring any harm to him," Taya didn't underestimate Vanessa's powerful background and thus just wanted to make sure.

Vanessa smirked as she said, "I am not looking to harm him. I can give you my word, but as for my realm, that is not something I can guarantee. What he did was not something my realm can just overlook."

"Taya…it's fine. We will need your help in persuading my mother to divine Viktor's whereabouts," Nyissa said as she stepped forward, while Vanessa nodded with a firm gaze.
