After spending an hour inside the CCTV control room, Marceline went downstairs to check everything inside her house.

Her expression darkened as she saw the mess Kira created in her ancestral mansion. He broke the door of her room by pushing hard. Even the main front door got destroyed in just one push from him.

“Doesn’t he know how to open a goddamn door? Why does he have to destroy them?” Marceline muttered, massaging the space between her brows.

The truth was Kira kept pushing the door since he had no idea how to open a modern door like this which had a doorknob. So typically, Marceline’s assumption was right.

Kira didn’t know how to open the door so he ended up destroying them by applying too much force!

Marceline exhaled deeply, trying to calm herself down.

“I have to hire someone to fix those broken doors today. That strange man is truly getting on my nerves!” Marceline said through her gritted teeth.

She clenched her fists and went to the location where she saw Kira emerge. He didn’t enter the house from the outside but he was already inside her house.

She discovered something in the video. It was a hidden door, connecting to the secret underground basement of the mansion. She had no idea that the Zhou Ancestral Mansion had this underground basement.

There was a long staircase going down. Since it was underground, the place was too dark. Marceline brought a flashlight with her before descending the staircase.

She couldn’t understand but she felt the chill run down her spine as she continued going down. It felt cold inside as well. The atmosphere was so eerie that her entire body- including the hair on her arms and the back of her neck- bristled.

Marceline tried to maintain her focus even though her heart was already pounding rapidly inside her chest. She wondered what was waiting for her at the end of this staircase.

The man she encountered last night was no ordinary human. This was the reason she felt a little bit nervous.

But one thing was bothering her. It was the fact the man didn’t do anything to her. He didn’t hurt her even though he had all the opportunity to do it. She fainted and she was vulnerable to him.

Marceline saw how Kira carried her back to her room. He didn’t stay too long inside. He went out, trying to leave the house.

When he destroyed the front door, the alarm went on, catching the attention of the security guards. Two men responded right away and saw Kira at the front door.

They pointed their guns at him. But seconds later, Kira said something to them. The two security guards just nodded their heads before putting their guns down.

Kira spoke again as if he was asking the guards about something. Marceline saw how Kira’s lips tugged upward into a cheeky smile after getting an answer from the guards.

She had no idea what they were talking about. The recording didn’t have audio so she didn’t hear the conversation.

She was also surprised when she saw the guards leaving Kira alone as they went back to their guard post.

Marceline didn’t know what Kira said to her guards, making them obey and follow his command.

She took note that she needed to interrogate those guards and punish them accordingly. They just let the perpetrator go, without apprehending him.

It did not take long when she finally reached the bottom of the staircase. She covered her mouth and nose as the basement was so dusty.

Using her flashlight, she surveyed the area. Marceline’s eyes widened in utter shock when her gaze found something. It was a wooden casket!

‘What the hell?! Why is there a wooden casket here?!’

Marceline immediately called the two people who were close to her, the only people she trusted the most. Dr. Lyca Lee and Aunt Brianna.

Dr. Lyca Lee was her personal psychologist who was also her friend. She’s only 25 years old.

On the other hand, Aunt Brianna was a single middle-aged woman who was Marceline’s nanny. She took care of her ever since she was a child. When Marceline’s parents were killed, she was the one who helped her cope up, acting as her second mother.

Half an hour later, the two women arrived at Zhou Mansion. They were surprised to see Marceline’s broken door. They dashed inside the house, searching for Marceline, their faces covered with worries and concern for her.

Then they saw Marceline coming out of the secret door. Lyca and Aunt Brianna ran in her direction.

“Hey! What happened here? Did someone break into the house? Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?” Lyca bombarded her with so many questions.

“Did someone try to kill you again?” Aunt Brianna also spoke to her with her concerned voice.

The two women assessed Marceline from top to bottom. Both of them heaved a sigh of relief when Marceline looked fine. She had no injury at all.

“I’m fine. Let’s sit down first. I will tell you everything.” Marceline grabbed their hands, pulling them to the nearest sofa.

When the three of them settled down, Marceline began telling them the story of what had transpired last night.

Lyca and Aunt Brianna were just listening to her attentively. They were showing different reactions as Marceline continued to tell them about Kira.

In the last part, Marceline showed them the video recording, proof of Kira’s extraordinary power. Lyca gasped in surprise upon watching the whole video while Aunt Brianna remained silent, her eyes focused on Kira’s figure.

“See, I am not dreaming nor imagining things! I am not crazy either! This video proves that there are supernatural beings in this world. Did you see it? He is so strong and moves at the speed of light! His eyes are bloody red like a vampire…”

Marceline came up with this conjecture that Kira was a vampire as she put the pieces together. His body was as cold as a corpse plus his unimaginable strength and speed. Then the wooden casket she found in the underground basement.

She even remembered him sucking her neck. When she checked it a while ago, she confirmed that she had a bite mark on her neck.

“Lyca… Aunt Brianna… 18 years ago… I know what I saw. The creatures I encountered in the forest… They are not wild animals, not ordinary wolves… They are giant wolves, bigger than a human! They might be… Werewolves.”

Eighteen years ago, no one believed the statement of the 6-year-old child who lost her parents in the forest.. They thought that what she saw was just part of her imagination.
