The woman fell into Slady's arms, who held her carefully.
"How did you get here?" Slady asked, emotionless.
"I... I was lost... please..."
She couldn't finish the sentence, tears of pain coming from her eyes. She looked at Slady.
"Please... don't hurt me..."
Unable to bear any more consciousness, she fainted in Slady's arms, who held her easily.
*I can't wake Shaphira.* Slady thought.
Carefully, Slady laid her in his arms and began to carry her to a secondary room, where it was a simple but well-organized place.
As he laid her on the bed, Slady watched the woman, looking hesitant... but he took action.
Carefully, he removed the woman's clothes, looking at her naked body neutrally.
"..."
Slady grabs a towel, starting to clean her wounds innocently, not wanting her to get an infection.
"It'll be okay..."
***hours later...***
Slady seemed to wake up and not remember how she had fallen asleep, only seeing the woman's dress in her hand, already sewn.
"Oh, right..."
He looks at the sleeping woman, seeing her body already clean and well cared for, but it seemed familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
***
Rin Yuang was still sleeping, seeming to still enjoy the break a little more, but suddenly, she heard her cell phone receiving a call.
"Ahhh..."
She wiped the saliva that was on her lips, picking up the phone and looking at the cell phone screen.
"Hmmm, what does he want now?"
She answers, putting the device to her ear.
"Hi."
Then Slady's voice is heard through the phone.
"I need your help."
***
Rin Yuang had already gotten dressed, standing next to Slady. She seemed a little tense, maybe because of Slady's presence, but now she was a little astonished.
"My god..."
"What?" Slady looks at Rin Yuang.
"She's Victoria Noughter!"
She seemed very surprised.
"Who is this?" Slady asks, emotionless.
"She's a Hunter of Destruction!"
She sat down on a chair next to Slady, perplexed.
"She's amazing, and she has a very strong *husband*!"
Rin Yuang stopped to think for 2 seconds, looking at Slady, now scared.
"Did you do something to Faller Noughter's wife?"
Slady looked at Rin Yuang with an innocent and neutral look.
"No, I just took off her clothes and-"
"WHAT?!!"
Rin Yuang put her hand on Slady's shoulder.
"Did you hurt her?"
"No, I just cleaned her wounds and sewed her clothes."
Rin Yuang seemed to believe Slady at first, looking deeply into his eyes, as if searching for any sign of malice or deceit in Slady.
But she ended up finding nothing.
"I see..."
She let out a sigh.
"Better wait for her to wake up, Slady. Then she can tell her husband she's okay."
Slady nodded.
"No problem."
"Great."
Rin Yuang stood up, adjusting her clothes.
"Let me know if you need help."
Then she turns to leave, Slady watches her leave. He noticed tension with her with his presence, even seeing him as a friend, knowing who he really is must be something painful for Rin Yuang.
He had noticed this, so he frowned thoughtfully.
*she still looks scared... I have to solve this.*
A few minutes later, Victoria Noughter, who was in Slady's bed, ended up waking up, opening her eyes and seeing that her body was naked under the covers.
"What...?"
At that moment she flinched, looking at Slady with a somewhat... furious look.
"Explain yourself, now!"
She looked ready to defend herself from Slady, but he remained emotionless.
"I just cleaned your wounds and sewed your clothes, that's all."
Victoria looks at Slady, trying to see some malice or lie, but again, nothing.
"I hope you didn't do anything..."
She covers her breasts and sits up, looking at Slady.
"I... I need my clothes."
"Ah."
Slady turns and takes Victoria's clothes, handing them to her.
"Put them on."
Victoria just nods, going under the covers to get dressed.
Slady watches the situation, looking confused, but maybe women don't like being seen naked by a man they don't know... he'll probably make a mental note of that.
After getting dressed, Victoria leans back on the couch, feeling more comfortable. Slady just tilts his head.
"Isn't your outfit a bit... demonstrative?"
He asked innocently, pointing to Victoria's cleavage, who let out a brief laugh, closing the neckline with a zipper on her dress.
"I like to have a little wind, but also to impress my man... if you know what I mean." She gave a mischievous and playful smile.
Slady ended up not understanding, thinking something like:
*humans are strange.*
Then Victoria decided to speak more seriously.
"I still don't know your name, I'm Victoria Noughter, who are you?"
"Just Slady, now tell your husband and ask him to pick you up."
Slady turned and left the room, probably to take care of something else.
"Slady?-"
Victoria stopped talking when she saw Slady leaving, she just took a deep breath and went to send messages to the Faller Noughter guy.
Some time later, Slady was in Shaphira's room and his, watching her sleep, when suddenly, the library door was knocked on.
When he opened the door, Slady found himself in front of a man with white hair, twice his height.
"Good morning, I'm Faller, I heard my wife is here." He says with a serious and worried tone.
"Yes, she is."
Slady made room for Faller, who walked past him and went up to the second floor... in a few minutes, a conversation could be heard between them. It was hard to understand, but in subtle tones, it was Faller worried and Victoria comforting him and explaining *everything*
In a few minutes, Faller came down the stairs and looked at Slady, his body emanating a very powerful electric aura, which could scare anyone, but not Slady.
He sat down next to the other man, placing his hand on Slady's shoulder, it was a gentle but firm touch, then he asked seriously.
So, Slady..."
Victoria had probably told Faller the name
"Did you do something to my woman?"
"No."
"She told me that you took off your clothes and took care of your wounds and her clothes, is she right?"
"Yes."
"I see..."
His aura calmed down, as if he was controlling himself, then he looked back at Slady.
"You must not be a bad person. But be careful, some other women might misunderstand your help, so I'm glad for your honesty."
Slady was surprised, but noticed that Faller seemed to feel a little guilty for putting pressure on someone who is far from malicious... apparently.
"I noticed, I'll keep that in mind."
Faller nodded, standing up and looking at Slady for a few more seconds.
"My wife is still a little weak, I will take care of her. Don't worry about the expenses, I will pay for everything."
He walked away from Slady, going to take care of Victoria, keeping the bedroom door open. Slady just ignored the scene and went to sort out her own things.
But suddenly, Shaphira had woken up, transforming into her Renkai Creature form, but when passing through the door where Faller and Victoria were, the man looked at Shaphira, feeling the Renkai Energy in her and he let go of his wife for a second to launch an electricity attack against Shaphira.
"A demon!"
Causing an explosion of smoke, Faller felt his hand being held with such force, when the smoke lowered, it was Slady, who was holding Faller's hand with her mechanical hand.
"What makes you think you can attack my daughter?"
"Daughter?!"
Faller and Victoria say in unison, Faller tries to separate from Slady's hand, but it was too strong.
"What are you doing? I thought it was a demon!"
"..."
Slady pulled away from Faller, letting go of his hand.
"Don't ever attack her again, or I'll kill you."
The couple felt a shiver run through their bodies, despite being very strong, they didn't want to challenge that man.
"Understood..."
Faller slowly turned to go back to taking care of Victoria, caressing his wife's face, who closed her eyes and then opened them.
"Honey, that man is good, but it seems like it's not good to anger him."
"I know, I didn't mean to."
To relax, Faller lay down next to Victoria, snuggling into her chest.
"I don't think he'll be mad at us sleeping here for a while, do you?"
Faller asked with a low laugh.
"From what I know of him, which is little, he won't be mad. But let's just rest today."
Victoria kissed Faller's hair, and then the two finally fell asleep.
***
Slady was petting Shaphira, who was still in her Renkai Creature form, with her fur standing on end and leaning against him, as if she was trying to control her instincts.
"Shhhhh, it's over, it's over. No one is going to hurt you."
Shaphira kept rubbing her nose against Slady, as if she was searching for his scent, which always calmed her down from her instincts to kill any human.
"They're not bad people, don't worry."
Slady wrapped his mechanical arm around Shaphira's body, who was gripping his shoulders with her nails.
***Minutes later***
After everything calmed down, Slady went to the room where he found the couple sleeping together.
*I don't even know them and they already want to turn my house into a hotel?* he thought, crossing his arms.
He leaves the room, closing his eyes for a while, he seemed exhausted with so many things happening: Rin Yuang was afraid of him, there were two powerful and unknown people in the library and Shaphira was scared and trying to control herself.
"What the hell." He muttered to himself.
"Maybe I'll do double duty..."
Slady goes to the workshop, where in a small hole, there was a small box, then when he opens it, he finds some knives and a syringe with some vials of liquid nearby.
After putting the liquids in the syringe, Slady goes to Shaphira, who was lying in her room, and very delicately places the injection in her neck, making her faint.
Slady does the same with Faller and Victoria, managing to do it without waking them up. Then Slady goes to the couch and enters a website... starting to write down people's requests...
**hours later...**
After killing and hiding the bodies of several heinous criminals, Slady came back quite tired, of course. He had to investigate and make the whole plan to avoid being caught, but in the end, he made a lot of money.
Upon arriving at the library, Slady came across an unexpected scene: Faller and Victoria had woken up, the woman was making dinner and the man was tidying up the library.
*they are very helpful and polite.* Slady thought.
The two look at Slady, giving a brief nod.
"Good night." Shaphira says.
"You look tired, did you train while we slept?" Faller asked.
"Yes, I trained." Slady says.
He sits on the couch, leaning against the furniture.
"What are you doing?" Slady asks, emotionless.
"I'm making dinner," Shaphira said.
"I'm cleaning the house anyway."
Although it wasn't necessary, it was clear that they wanted to thank him for the stay.
"It wasn't necessary, I just took care of your wife and let you sleep here."
"No, no."
Faller walked over to Slady, holding both of his hands in a gesture of thanks.
"Although our interaction at the beginning wasn't the best, I still thank you for taking care of Victoria. She's my life."
He lowered his head in a gesture of thanks. This surprised Slady, after all, he was a strong man twice his size, but still well-mannered.
"Okay, then."
Faller nodded, going back to doing whatever he was doing. Slady walked away from them, going to take care of Shaphira.
A few minutes later, Victoria entered the room, ready to call Slady.
"The food is ready-"
But her eyes widened when she saw Slady sleeping. That wasn't the surprise, obviously. But it was Shaphira, who was in her hybrid form, seeming to be taking care of him, who was so tired.
Their gazes met, Shaphira immediately got into a combat stance.
"Human..."
"Calm down, Slady already told us that you're a good person and we shouldn't hurt you."
Even so, Shaphira still seemed angry, it was her demonic instinct, after all.
"I don't like you, humans."
She cringed, hugging Slady's sleeping body. It was contradictory, but he was the only one Shaphira didn't have the instinct to kill or the desire to hurt him.
Victoria found it unusual, but slowly moved away to go back to dinner. It was an insane idea to have a Renkai Creature around, but that one... was unique.
***
At dawn, Slady opened his eyes, feeling his body being wrapped protectively by Shaphira, he pulled away and went to the bathroom. After doing his business, Slady noticed that Faller and Victoria were no longer there. But when he got to the living room, Slady found a letter, so he opened it.
***
"The one writing is Faller, I thank you for what you did for me and my wife, I hope to meet you in the future."
Then, near the letter, there was a large amount of Lynes that Slady could use as he wished... but that wasn't what Slady was interested in.
*I need to do something, so I can sleep in peace.* Slady thought
***
In the Criminal Investigation Department of Libertanhya, Rin Yuang was sleeping after having worked all day after finishing his day of rest. But suddenly, a weight could be felt on the bed, then a voice was heard murmuring.
"You and Roger didn't know me well, I'll fix that."
Then a syringe was injected into Rin Yuang's neck and his forehead ended up receiving a clean and careful cut.
A few minutes later, a dark room was shown, so Rin Yuang and Roger's *brains* were in a jar.
"Sometimes knowing too much becomes a disadvantage, you know things about me that you shouldn't know."
