The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 523: Abby Chung, righteous man.
Chapter 523: Abby Chung, righteous man.
As soon as the investigators from the other bureaus left, Abby’s tone changed. He was not the supportive helper from home but a police officer, a detective on his own mission with his own questions.
"Now that the snoopers have gone, cut the crap and tell me the truth. You let yourself be captured deliberately, didn’t you?"
Alix leaned back in the chair and crossed her left leg over the right one.
"I was kidnapped detective Abby, no matter how many times you ask my answer is going to remain the same. You can check the cameras from those different shops in the Christmas market or along the very streets i was whisked through in a car that had very dark windows that my poor self didn’t even know where i was taken."
A maid that worked at the chateau opened the door and walked in with Mantis. She was carrying a tray that held six glasses of cocktails of different colors.
"I brought drinks for us to celebrate a lesson well taught to the European branch and a successful mission. Now, lets get into some bikinis, and toast to a good day."
Alix reached for one of the cocktails eagerly but Abby Chung pushed the tray away.
"No drinks when we are handling serious business. Now, miss Alix why did you allow yourself to be taken to the Heinrich family castle? Why didn’t you defend yourself when Brandt approached you?"
"I thought the bureau is all about secrecy, did you want me to morph into a dragon and set the entire market on fire? Think about all those innocent people in that place at that time, what would have happened to them then? Besides, they had eyes on my family.
How is the bureau doing its job if these people sauntered through the airport and targeted my family as they please without anyone’s knowledge? I am very disappointed in the bureau detective Abby, if you cannot protect me i am not very interested in being a member anymore. I am going to rethink my membership, you can relay that to your higher ups."
She stood up and said firmly, "If you will excuse me now, i am going to call home and check on my family. I need to know if they are okay."
She left him at the table, stunned and speechless. He couldn’t tell if she had deliberately made this threat to derail his questioning or she was being serious. Alix leaving the bureau and openly sharing with everyone that it was because the bureau had failed to protect her was not a good look for them.
That was how Genesis came to be, a little fact which many system hosts did not know. Nobody knew the identity of Genesis but there were ten possible candidates the bureau suspected, all former bureau systems that had fallen off the face of the earth. One thing they all knew for sure was that Genesis was formerly a system host for the bureau. This was because the dark side knew a little too much about their inner workings.
If Alix left the bureau, wouldn’t she fall into the hands of the dark side naturally?
Mantis pulled up a chair and down next to Abby with a cunning smile on her face. She picked up one of the cocktails and played around with the straw before taking a small sip.
"Mmm, a dissatisfied strong system host that wants to leave the bureau. If the dark side has witches, their black magic must be working overtime right now." she laughed.
Abby did not find her words funny at all and he scowled at her.
She used the straw to mix the cocktail slowly, playing around lazily. Her eyes stayed firmly on detective Abby, the righteous man who always assumed that he knew better than everyone else.
"Why did you share this post?" Abby showed her his phone.
Mantis did not need to read to know the post he was talking of as it was her that had shared it.
[To my fellow system hosts, particularly beast morphers, if you have ever been traded to the Heinrich family for entertainment, lost consciousness in your beast form and woken up uncomfortable the next morning, i regret to inform you that you were probably violated in the worst way possible.
If you don’t believe me, watch this clip in which the criminals plan their crime in front of one of us because they think she doesn’t understand their language.
I don’t know if such acts are committed by other families but one thing is for sure, it is a gross abuse of our rights as system hosts. In addition to that, they take our teeth, claws, nails, fur, blood, skin, eyes and anything else they desire without our knowledge. Why does the European bureau want to keep this abuse going?
How are the bureaus protecting us? Do our countries really value us, system hosts anymore? If they don’t they should share this with us so that we can start walking on our own.]
She shrugged, "It’s a public forum for shifters and we can say whatever we want to and share our thoughts as we please. What they are doing is criminal and the bureau allowing it to continue is inhumane. They treat us this way because we choose to stay in the dark, sometimes i wonder what will happen if we just say fuck it and let the normal humans in on the secret."
"That’s a bad idea." Abby said with a grimace.
Mantis shrugged, they would never know if they didn’t try.
"Where did you get the video?" he asked.
Below the post was a short video of what transpired between Alix and the Heinrich’s, not everything just the part with what they planned to do with Alix.
"Alix of course, she was the only one at the Heinrich family compound after all. She asked me to share the post and the message. It has only been an hour and the response is unbelievable.
She is right, the bureau needs to be cleaned out and if you guys won’t do it, we will. We are tired of non system hosts controlling and using us, playing us like fiddles.
We don’t want to be like the dark side, we love the earth and we want to keep it the way it is. Of course, we want it to be more developed than it is right now, a better world is good for us all after all. Anyway, we are not on the side of the dark side, we are on the side of the neutral shifters.
It’s a revolution Abby, change is coming. You are either with us, your kind or those who are oppressing us. I believe that the captain has picked a side and soon you will have to pick yours Mr. righteous."
She stood up and carried the entire tray of cocktails to the poolside. She was sure that Alix would be joining her soon.
She left Abby alone with even more troubled thoughts. His system had not anticipated political kind of trouble when Alix and Mantis joined hands. He just assumed that they would be setting fires and beating bad guys up.
However, this too was a fire, just not the hot burning kind they all thought it would be.
