Beast Evolution Forge

Chapter 42 Forest Pt.4

Vell's eye gaze followed the woman as she went back to her seat and he couldn't help but smile. 'so predictable.' He thought, taking a sip from his cup. Now that his body was full, all the information he has gathered so far began settling down nicely. 'I was right about her...she is indeed dangerous, in more way than one. I will need to come up with a plan for us to escape once we complete this mission, which means i should get as strong as i can in the dungeon.'

"What do you think about here?" He turned to Yenna, his words barely a whisper. She looked at him and then at the woman. It took her a few seconds to come up with an answer which was simply a head shake, she did not trust the woman.

"Her instincts are not bad, she also needs to level up as well, I am sure it hurts her a lot to always be on the side lines. I am going to change that." His gaze lingered on her for a while, their eyes meeting for a few seconds before Yenna looked away, blushing.

"Has he always been that handsome?" She peeked at him and quickly turned away when he meet her gaze. It was always amusing to him how she acted, even he couldn't help but smile.

"Alright," The woman's voice cut through their little moment, "I can tell you are hurt so i will give you a few days to recover, we can continue with the dungeon plan then." She snapped her hand and many monster, similar to the one he fought walked in, all of them carry a different type of weapon.

"Jia!" A female one get called in front, kneeling on knee and bowing.

"Yes my queen." Her voice was as gentle as the queens'.

"They are in you care while they recover, whatever he asks for you must fulfill, do you understand what I mean?"

She hesitated for a bit, "....yes my queen, i will carry out your orders." She got up and walked over to Vell, bowing but showing hostility, though, he didn't care. He just smiled at her as she stood beside him, not paying him any attention.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The murmuring in the room grew louder until the queen raised her hand, silencing everyone. She rose from her seat, her presence dominating the room. "Enough," she said, her tone brooking no argument. "What happened just now was a reminder of why I chose you. You possess a strength—one that even my children fear. But it seems that strength is not yours which might cause a an scene like before."

'before? Ah, back when I was fighting that one, yeah, i remember blacking out just like now, just what is happening.' His eyes finally noticed the strange circles on his hand, he wanted to think about them more but right now he had to resolve this situation.

"I am sorry, that will not happen again, i promise you that in 2 days I will either have control of this power or i will have found a way to suppress it for good. " His eyes were confident and his smile just added to that, the queen couldn't help but accept.

"B-but my que-"

"Silence, i gave you your orders, i did not ask for your opinion."

Jia looked down in defeat before turning her anger towards Vell, grinding her teeth in frustration. 'why are you looking at me like I yelled at you? shesh.'

The queen observed the tension between them but chose not to intervene further. She exhaled softly and turned to the rest of the room. "You are all to support this human, he is our only hope. I trust you will not disappoint me." Her voice carried finality.

With a wave of her hand, the room began to shift. Her children bowed deeply and exited through the massive doors. The queen herself paused briefly, her gaze lingering on Vell, as if calculating his every move. Then, without another word, she left, the roots closing the doors behind her, sealing the room in an almost eerie silence.

Now, only Vell, Yenna, and Jia remained.
