Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract-Chapter 98 98 – Plan

Kai walked towards the nightclub, the neon lights blazing and the bass thumping from within. He looked up at the dark sky, still shrouded in clouds and hiding the stars, and sighed. The rain had stopped, but it wouldn't be surprising if it started pouring down again.

As he approached the entrance, the guard outside recognized him and allowed him to skip the long queue. Kai stepped inside. People were dancing and laughing, having fun times with their friends.

A vampire dressed in a bunny costume greeted him as soon as he showed up in the nightclub. "Welcome, Ruler. What brings you here today?" she asked in a low voice.

Kai turned to her, his expression serious. "I have some important information to deliver to the Vampire Lord. Is he available?"

The bunny vampire shook her head regretfully. "I'm afraid the Lord is not here at the moment. He has a certain schedule and is not expected back for some time."

'Hmm…' He hummed in his mind.

The new information about the Dragon King was really important. Maybe the Vampire lord also noticed the Dragon King's presence and was not here because of that?

Anyway, it wasn't something that needed an immediate response from Grigori. He just wanted to tell the lord of Romanian vampires and asked when would the manpower Grigori could help him locate the Boogeymen.

Also, he had forgotten because he just wanted to find the Boogeymen as soon as possible, but he also needed to tell the Vampire lord about Robert, who would act with the manpower provided to locate the Boogeymen.

'Well, it can't be helped. Should I just grab a drink or two while I am here? I bet Amber and Ibaraki won't mind me staying for a few hours.'

"I will just grab the drink, in that case. Should I go to the second floor where the people from Supernatural World gathered?" Kai asked, unsure where he should drink in this nightclub.

The first floor was for normal civilians, and the second floor was for those from Supernatural World. He didn't know where he should grab a drink as he had only joined the Supernatural World a few days ago.

? The bunny-costumed vampire smiled warmly at Kai, her eyes lighting up with amusement. "Yes, of course. The second floor is where all of the supernatural beings gather. You might find something interesting or companion there. Allow me to show you the way."

Kai followed the bunny vampire as she led him to the staircase and up to the second floor. The atmosphere on the second floor was more subdued compared to the first floor, with low lighting and hushed conversations.

As they approached the bar, he noticed several vampires and other supernatural beings gathered around, sipping on their drinks and chatting. The bunny-costumed vampire gestured towards a free bar stool and offered to get him a drink.

"What would you like to drink, Ruler?" she asked, her eyes flickering with a hint of mischief.

"I'll have a glass of your finest red wine, please," Kai replied, taking a seat at the bar.

The bunny vampire nodded and disappeared to fetch his drink. Kai turned to survey the room, taking in the sights and sounds of the supernatural gathering.

It was a diverse crowd, with vampires, werewolves, and even human Slayers in attendance. Despite their different backgrounds, everyone was getting along, laughing and chatting as if they were old friends.

His gaze then stopped at a man at the corner of the room, drinking along while heaving a sigh. That man had familiar blonde hair and build, and Kai immediately recognized him even with the low lighting.

"Is that Robert?" He muttered. For some reason, that blonde guy looked troubled and let out another sigh.

The vampire in a bunny costume returned with a drink on a tray at the time.

"Here is your order, Ruler. Please enjoy. It's in the house." With a captivating smile, she put the glass in front of Kai.

"Thank you. By the way, I've found an acquaintance. Please excuse me."

"Yes. Please call me if you need anything. I've been ordered by Master Grigori to serve you."

"Much appreciated."

Taking the glass of wine, Kai walked toward Robert. Many people on the second floor had heard the word Ruler. They looked at him curiously and some with awe. He smiled wryly when he received all the attention he didn't deserve yet.

'I need to get used to these gazes.' He thought as he knew he would receive such gaze from now on every time someone met him if they knew his title.

Robert apparently also heard the murmur from the surrounding as he raised his head, turning it toward Kai. When he noticed that the Ruler, Kai, was walking toward him, a soft smile appeared on his face as he raised his hand. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

"Hello." Kai greeted the blonde man as he sat on the chair across from him on the other side of the small circular table. "Are you good?"

"What do you think?" Robert replied with a small chuckle. "I am here to meet the Vampire lord on your order, but the man himself is out. Rather, you've ordered me to come here. If you need something with the Vampire lord, you just need to order me to. You don't need to come by yourself."

"Just a bit of a situation that I need to resolve myself." He replied, sipping the wine slightly.

It had a subtle taste and was different from regular wine. The vampire seemed to serve him the finest as he asked for.

"The situation changed a little bit. I think it will be harder to find the Boogeymen from now on."

"What do you mean?" Robert's tone turned serious as he leaned against the table. "It is already hard as it is, but you said it will become harder? I think I need to know about it, too, no?"

"I plan to tell you after meeting Grigori." He replied with a wry smile.

Right, he planned to tell Robert, too, as he was his subordinate, his agent, to find information. However, he still hesitated. The new problem that arrived was totally unexpected, and it came from someone who could contract Mythical creatures without any problem.

In fact, he had become restless since he heard about the Dragon King from Amber. It was the same restlessness he felt when he thought about the Boogeymen, but a bit different.

He felt unpleasant and a bit angry whenever he thought about the Boogeymen, while he felt like he was restless because he wanted to meet the Dragon King due to his curiosity. What did she look like? What power did she have? And what was her relationship with the strongest, his ancestor?

Since he knew about his ancestry, he became interested in the strongest and would study history whenever he had a chance.

"Is it that serious?" The blonde man asked, narrowing his eyes. "Should I run away from Romania?"

Even at a time like this, Robert could still joke around. Was he confident he could run if there was truly trouble?

Unfortunately…

"Even if you run, I am afraid if it truly becomes trouble, you won't be able to escape from it."

"So it is that serious." Robert leaned back against the backrest and rubbed his temple. He furrowed his brows in frustration. "What have I put myself into? Ah, right. This is because we were desperate for money and crossed against you."

"I am glad you understand," Kai smirked at the blonde man.

Even if Robert wanted to run, he would be unable to. Not only was Kai his benefactor that saved his family's life, but he also swore with his Spirit Power to help him whenever he needed help.

So this time, if he tried to run away after Kai had asked for his help, his Spirit Power would explode from within his body and turn him into a paste.

'If I can't escape from the trouble, then at least I need to find safety. And the safest place would be…' He thought as he looked at Kai.

Fixing his position, Robert looked Kai straight in the eyes. "Where did you stay, by the way?"

"Hmm? It's at the hotel near the intersection. Why?" Kai replied curiously as he took another sip of his wine.

"I will move there," Robert replied immediately, drinking the cocktail he had ordered earlier. It was an amazing display. He depleted the cocktail in one gulp and didn't get drunk from it.

Slamming the empty glass on the table, he wiped his mouth and continued, "If I can't escape from the trouble, then I will stay in the safest place in this country. Besides, we can communicate easier that way, right?"

"That's true." Kai nodded.

What the man had said made sense. They would be able to communicate easily if they stayed in the same place. But…

"What about your wife? She's still scared of me, no?"

"She is. In fact, she often had trauma and nightmares. But she will be fine if she stays in her room all day. It won't be a problem."

"Well, if that's your choice, then… Let's talk about another thing." Kai said, looking serious. "Earlier, I was attacked by a Jack-o'-lantern, and possibly someone is targeting me. So, I have a little plan that needs your help and expertise."

"Someone is targeting you? They are crazy."

"I wonder about that." He shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "Anyway, I need to find out who targeted me this time. And for that plan to be executed, I need your help."

"Haa…" Robert let out a tired sigh. His work was already a lot, and now he was asked to do another work, which was probably a lot more troublesome than the others. "It's not like I have any choice. Let's hear it."

"Hahaha, true. So the plan is like this…" And Kai told Robert what he had in mind. They talked in a low voice and put a soundproof barrier around them, so no one was able to hear what they talked about.
