Rae let out a long sigh as her head sank back into the pillow, dejected. "Not much to report. The members we faced... they took some kind of vile poison. Made it so when they died, their bodies dissolved into putrid shit. No recognizable traces, no corpses, nothing proper left to identify. There were attempts to capture a few alive, but... it was like some remote kill switch was in place. The moment they were restrained—snap. Dead instantly, after which came the slime cosplay attempts."
"The explosive bastard, though, beat the living shit out of me. But we kept him busy until the dungeon overflow spat out so many monsters that, by the time backup arrived, he had no choice but to make a run for it."
"So troublesome..." Kaiden grunted.
Riven finally looked up from her desk. "There is one piece of good news."
Kaiden’s gaze turned to her.
"We found the agent who leaked information on our movements. It was a member of the Association. He was the one who gave away the data of your registration for the dungeon undertaking with Runewoven. That’s how they knew where you’d be."
Aria’s silver eyes narrowed. "Has he been questioned?"
Riven went silent, her gaze sliding away.
Nyx’s lips curled into a sly smirk as she purred, "Let me guess. He turned into ’putrid shit’ as well, hmm?"
Rae’s chuckle wheezed out from behind her casts. "Bingo."
"Haaah... So what now? I imagine you won’t be back to action for a bit."
"Yeah, it’ll take a few days," Rae replied. "In the meantime, you’ll likely have to get reacquainted with Agents Hugh and Oren."
Those two were the same tall, stoic bodyguards who accompanied Secretary Grace when she paid them a visit in their home.
Kaiden’s lips twisted instantly, souring as if he’d bitten into something rotten.
Rae burst out laughing despite her cracked ribs. "Oh-ho~! Don’t tell me that face is because of them! You’ll have to do the pussy pounding quieter for the next few days, Mister Yandere~" Her giggle turned into a wheeze due to extreme amounts of pain, but her smirk was downright wicked.
The truth was simple: Kaiden had specifically asked Grace to replace Hugh and Oren with female agents. Not because he doubted their ability, but because he could not—or rather, would not—stand the idea of two stoic men overhearing the moans and cries of his women echoing through the walls of his home. That would be no home to him, but prison. This request of his was why Rae and Riven ended up being assigned to him in the first place.
Now, Rae weaponized it, and Kaiden’s mood curdled darker than storm clouds.
"Pfft!" Rae barked into raw, howling laughter, so hard she started coughing and writhing against her casts, face contorting with pain. "O-Ohhh fuck, it hurts so bad!"
A sharp jab nudged Kaiden’s side. He turned his head to find Aria elbowing him. The motion was gentle, for she would never hurt him, but the intent was clear. Her silver eyes were narrowed in disapproval, though the pink dusting her cheeks betrayed her embarrassment.
Nyx, naturally, only giggled with shameless amusement.
Alice blinked around in confusion, a bit lost.
Bastet, on the other hand, purred deeply, leaning closer until her teeth nibbled teasingly at Kaiden’s ear and her tanned thighs tightened possessively around his waist.
For a brief moment, the atmosphere softened. The tension melted into a serene tenderness. Kaiden let out a small breath. "Aria already said it, but I want to say it too. I’m truly grateful for what you two did for us, Rae and Riven. I won’t forget it."
But before Rae or Riven could respond...
The temperature plummeted.
