• 20 Frae Comm

Tristan opened the metal box and found it filled with pure level 5 beast crystals rich in beast aura. These were exactly what he needed most right now.

“Thank you, Merrick.”

He spoke out of pure instinct.

Sylas turned to glance at him. His lie was fully exposed.

Merrick tapped the top of his fluffy head with a soft smile. “I knew your amnesia was nothing but an act Stop cooking up silly schemes to tease Gillian, or I will not go easy on you.”

Tristan knew he had been found out, yet he felt little regret. Playing tricks on Gillian no longer held any appeal for him anyway.

“I get it. Are you truly fond of Gillian? What about Elara then?”

He thought Merrick was far too fickle. How could he treat Elara in such a way?

“You are still young and immature. You know nothing about real affection.”

Merrick laughed and tugged at his fur, making Tristan wince in pain.

“Easy, Merrick. It hurts.”

“Good that you feel pain. There has never been anything between Ms. Locke and me, nor will there ever be.”

“Let go quickly! All my newly grown fur will fall out!”

Merrick loosened his grip and tapped his forehead lightly. “I hope you remember this well. I will feel upset too if you keep picking on Gillian.”

Tristan smoothed his ruffled fur and rolled his eyes thoughtfully.

“I’m sorry. I promise I will stay far away from Mrs. Cole and never trouble her again.”

That was nothing but empty words. He felt wronged deep down. Merrick sided with Gillian after they met for three days, while they had known each other for a whole year.

Recalling the strange power Gillian showed inside the treatment room, he seemed to figure out the truth. Merrick must have married Gillian merely for the sake of the 9th Legion.

“Merrick, are you hiding some hidden troubles?”

Merrick’s hands itched instantly as he thought he had gone too easy on the little fox now.

“Let me say this one last time. Gillian is my only spouse. Mind your own business as a youngster. If you

1/3 dare trouble her again. I will send you straight to your arranged marriage partner and settle your affairs,

once and for all.”

“Merrick! How could you do this to me!”

The pink fox instantly flew into a rage. Arranged marriages were utterly outdated. Did the Lawson family have to rely on such ties to hold power?

If his dad was so incompetent, he should step down early and let Lucian take charge.

Merrick meant every word. What dignity did a male have if he could not even protect his partner?

“Your father showed me photos of your match. That female suits you perfectly. Do not force me to take tough measures, Tris. Stay away from Gillian from now on.”

He worried the naive fox kept pairing up unrelated people randomly.

He gave repeated warnings only out of respect for Lucian. Further misbehavior would leave him no choice but to take action.

Tristan was genuinely frightened this time. He sensed real sternness in Merrick’s tone. How could he threaten him?

Tristan hung his head in low spirits. Merrick ruffled his fur gently.

“Come along, Tris. Let’s go for meals.”

“I am full already and have no appetite.”

The little fox turned away, determined to keep his pride.

A pair of strong arms lifted him up effortlessly.

“Be good.”

Merrick held him in his arms and turned to speak. “Sylas, join us.”

“Yes, sir.”

Sylas kept his usual calm look, never seeming interested in trivial matters.

In the cleric dormitory building, Gillian led the thirty females down the metal corridor before coming to a sudden halt. She looked at the group, still lost in confusion.

“I hold strict standards for all my partners, especially for outstanding clerics like you. Working under me will never be an easy thing.”

She took out a set of wrist terminals and asked Evelyn and Harper to hand them out one by one. “Tomorrow morning, you will take two formal assessments, covering medical theories and practical
