Secret Society: Raising Calamity Class Disciples-Chapter 85 Will Be Published Later

The night should have shrouded everything in darkness. But no. The full moon high in the night sky seemed to glow even brighter, lighting up the entire world with its silver hue. Moreover, dozens of lamps surrounded their destination.

The mansion was far away, separated by a grand garden from the main road. Eulene had already witnessed a handful of expensive manors in this district. But the one in front of her was definitely a piece of art.

It was more of a palace than an ordinary mansion. The exterior was plated with shiny marbles, and grand external pillars seemed to hold the whole kilometre wide structure. As for the architecture—it was one of the best she had seen after coming to this world.

Somehow, the architecture and the archaic vibes the mansion was emanating reminded Eulene of the Zeitmann's towers. She did not know why, but it felt like it.

The dozens of windows belonging to the structure were emanating bright light. She frowned.

"Feel free," Xavier said after witnessing Eulene's suspecting reaction. He had already paid the coachman and shooed it away.

Eulene did not hold back and released her spiritual senses, scanning through the entire mansion. She knitted her brows further. The mansion was empty? She gave Xavier a look.

Xavier did not say anything and walked forth, prompting Eulene to do the same. Watchful gazes were still fixed on them. Hence, they did not use their powers.

After a couple minute walk, they finally reached the manor. Xavier took out a key from his pocket and unlocked the large front door. With a simple push, the wooden door smoothly opened.

Eulene's eyes gleamed. Grand chandeliers lit up the gigantic hall that appeared. The floor was covered with rose gold marble—smooth enough to reflect everything. There were archaic patterns on the floor—artistic and strangely pleasing to the eye.

Eulene was not impressed by Xavier's wealth, but the culture and arts of this world—particularly this country. As for wealth—she could be considered an owner of the world she was a part of.

She followed Xavier and stepped in.

No sooner had they passed the doorframe did the door behind closed.

Eulene suddenly felt a foreboding. Her instincts urged her to dodge, and dodge she did.

"Meow!" A black shadow rocketed past the space where she was just at and landed on the floor.

It leapt at Eulene again but Xavier caught it mid air.

Eulene subconsciously took out her sword, ready to battle. But when she saw the creature between Xavier's hands, she stored the weapon back.

It was a cat—one as black as darkness itself. It was not too big, nor too small—just big enough to easily rest on someone's forearm. Its heterochromic eyes—one purple and one emerald—were fixed on Eulene's eyes.

"She's a guest." A wide smile beamed on Xavier's face as he petted the cat's head. "How have you been?"

"Meoow!" It let out a disgruntled call, not bothering to turn to Xavier.

"Okay. Okay. I am sorry," Xavier said with the same smile. "I shouldn't have stayed away for that long, or I should have taken you with me. Thank you for taking care of the house while I was away."

It finally looked up, at Xavier's face. "Meow?"

"Yes, next time. I promise."

"Meow." The dissatisfaction disappeared from its face as it rubbed its head against Xavier's hand.

Xavier put the cat on the floor. "Wait, I have a treat."

Xavier reached into his mouth. He grabbed his wisdom tooth and plucked it out. He wiped off the blood and without any hesitation, threw the tooth at the excited cat.

"Meow!" The cat jumped up from its spot and caught the tooth with its mouth. And in a moment, it swallowed.

Eulene observed the entire scene with utter bafflement. What the fuck was happening? She could swear she did not sense any life force earlier. Now that she sensed it again, it did not emanate any life force. Heck! She could not even sense its presence with her spiritual sense.

And the strangest of them all, it fed on teeth? What in the hell was that cat?

There was only one way to find the answer.

"Don't you think you should introduce to each other?" She smiled at Xavier.

"Pardon me," Xavier said nobly before turning to the cat. "Meet Eulene." He pointed at her. "She will stay with us from now on."

The cat hissed at Eulene, clearly dissatisfied.

Xavier then turned to Eulene. "He is Loki, my playmate. Be nice to him."

"He?" Eulene gave the cat a glance. Clearly, there was not anything down there.

Loki, seemingly reading her thoughts, jeered at her harder.

But Eulene paid the cat no mind and asked Xavier, "It is no ordinary cat, is it? You knew I could not sense 'him', didn't you?"

Xavier shrugged. "Honestly, I would have been surprised if you detected him. As for what he is, I don't know much either." Xavier shook his head.

Eulene raised a brow.

"There are only a few things I know of him," Xavier admitted. "First, he is intelligent—with IQ exceeding average humans."

"Meow!" Loki declared, its chin raised up and eyes haughtily closed. There was a smug smirk plastered on its face.

Xavier smiled. "Yes, yes. You are a genius." He then turned back to Eulene. "Second, he is hypothetically immortal. I met him seven decades ago, and his vitals remain the same after all these years. Who knows, he might be older than both of us."

"Meow!" The cat let out another call, this time—a little dissatisfied.

"Of course our Loki is young!" Xavier said, before looking at Eulene. "Third. I first discovered that he grants wishes in exchange of something… peculiar."

"Let me guess," Eulene said. "Teeth?"

"Yes." Xavier nodded. "Wisdom teeth to be precise. Evidently, Loki is a Paranormal. Hence, there's no scientific explanation behind how he lives on teeth, have such a lifespan etc."

"And what do you mean by granting wishes," Eulene asked. "I can wish for anything?"

"No." Xavier shook his head. "You will know once you discover his powers."

"Powers?" Eulene gave the kitty another sidelong glance. It was indeed anything but weak. If not for her intuition warning her, she would not have remained unscathed—or should she say… unscratched?

Eulene giggled at the pun inside her head.

Loki, on the other hand, looked at the foolish guest with disgust.

Eulene did not ask anything further. She awaited Xavier to give her a full tour of the house.

Xavier gladly complied. As the gazes of the watchers did not reach inside the mansion, they did not bother to hide their powers any longer. In a matter of seconds, the duo, along with the kitty, roamed around the entire two storeyed palace.

Eulene discovered that there were a couple of secret rooms underground, but she did not bother Xavier about this matter. Everyone had their secrets, and she had no intentions of peeking into those rooms either.

After the tour was over, Xavier led Eulene to a cozy room at the upper floor of the mansion. It would be her room from now on.

Eulene was satisfied. There was an ample amount of furniture in the large room, and each of those furniture reeked of extravagance. She could feel the coziness of the bed just from seeing it.

She could finally have a good night's rest. "Thank you," she said.

"No problem. Be prepared tomorrow. We will have to take a trip to the ministry—to settle your citizenship."

"Tomorrow?" Eulene raised a brow. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

"The earlier, the better," Xavier replied. "It's annoying to have gazes locked on me all the time."

Eulene nodded. She understood.

Xavier wished Eulene good night and stepped outside the room.

Loki, who was still in the room, looked at Eulene dead in the eyes.

[You better stay away from my human] An androgynous voice entered Eulene's ears.

Eulene's eyes almost popped out from her sockets. She subconsciously took a couple of steps back.

"Oi!" She beckoned Xavier, who was still in her range. "Your cat just spoke!"

Xavier halted in his tracks and turned back. He scowled. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"I swear he sent me a transmission just now, using Avion words!" Eulene retorted.

"Meow!" Loki declared with a confused tone.

"I know. She is crazy," Xavier said.

"I am the crazy one?" Eulene was infuriated. "You are the one answering to a cat!"

"He just said meow that ranged 74 milliseconds with a frequency of 149 Hz," Xavier retorted. "It's obvious that he is saying you are crazy. Anyone with a brain could understand that."

Eulene resisted the urge to scream and composed herself. "I am going to bed."

Xavier gave both Eulene and Loki glances before leaving the room.

[Just you wait] Eulene transmitted to the cat.

Loki snorted and left the room.

Eulene left out a sigh. She closed the door and walked to the bedside table. Her storage ring glinted as a typewriter appeared on the table. It was the same self-smacking typewriter she looted from the Gallery.

"Hmph! You think you are the only one with a pet?" She muttered.

*Pet?* The typewriter typed, letting out an array of clicking sounds.

Eulene coughed. "I just remembered the bird I had reared." She sighed.

Was Nuwang missing her? She thought.

The night passed. Both Xavier and Eulene had a good night's sleep after their hard work, in different rooms of course.

Xavier prepared breakfast and invited Eulene to join, which she easily accepted. She was famished after burning up all those energy yesternight.

After they were done with the breakfast, Eulene decided to ask something to Xavier—something that had been bothering her.

"Your killing intent… how did you do it?"

The killing intent Xavier showed to Doctor Hearts was definitely something one could not normally do. And from what she understood of this world's laws, illusory manifestation of killing intent like she did with David back at the warehouse should not be possible. After all, nobody had Dantian or spirit root.

Xavier heaved out a sigh. He decided to reveal…

His past.
