The World Of Demons And Gods

Catherine speed was extremely fast that Krystal did not even feel that she moved at all, let alone see it!

Just as she appeared in the stunned girl in front of her, Catherine laughed, "I'm just joking around little sister, Big sister haven't seen my little sister for years now." When her seductive hands reached towards Krystal, she quickly took one step back as she snorted coldly, "Who's your little sister!?"

"Oh my, then how should this lady address you?" Since Krystal have evaded her reaching hand, she put it on her chin before giving her a smile that could make one nervous due to l.u.s.t.

"Stop joking around Catherine, I have some important matters that I needed to know." She crossed her arms giving her cousin a sharp gaze with seriousness.

"My~ my~ Why so serious little sister, you're no fun at all." Catherine puts up a saddened look on her face, but her aura is telling Krystal that she's not sad at all, perhaps it would be better than this cousin of hers is making fun of her.

"Catherine, stop calling me your little sister." Krystal couldn't bear to hear her call her like that, it doesn't feel nice to hear at all. Her actions and beliefs completely contradict to the one that Krystal had. But because she is a member of a clan and completely in the inner circle of the house and not only that, she has the power of an elder of the clan, she could not completely antagonize her.

"So dull… Alright, I'll call you in other names, it's just that… You have way too many nicknames," Catherine's eyes shrink with her lips curving up a little, "Hmm, how about lady brute demoness? No, that sounds a bit too much, then miss slayer I think? Very masculine suits that suit another infamous name… How about, the ancient heavenly prin-"

Before Catherine could finish talking and her smile turning into a sneer, she was completely interrupted by Krystal as she shouted with her both fists tightly clenched together.

"Stop this Catherine! Why do you keep harassing me like this!?" Her heartfelt so bitter that she wanted to spit it out, for her, Catherine was important to her as one of her family that is within her inner circle back then. She was not like this before, she was very nice and although she's indeed a prankster she wouldn't dare to joke so low that would offend people, but after she m.a.t.u.r.ed, she completely changes to how she is now.

A completely different person that made Catherine a stranger.

Seeing her pained look, Catherine was silent for a while before her smile disappeared. "Alright, but before you could ask me something, I have one condition." Her expression turned serious, but her eyes were full of mystery that could make one's heart frozen, even Krystal stunned.

Her extreme keen senses are telling her that there is something off about this, but since she's here to ask for help, she could ignore it for now and face Catherine. "What is your condition?" She asked with hesitation.

Hearing that Krystal has agreed, Catherine smiled while her eyes remained staring at Krystal. "Alright, in fact, I think I already know what you want to ask this beautiful lady." Krystal's heart began to beat in a fast pace as nervousness has started to appear on her expression.

"It's those rats' organization, right?"

"!!!"

Seeing Krystal stunned, there's no change on Catherine's expression as she continued, "Since you're dutiful and honest to your work as the 100th Generation first young mistress of the clan and the first and the last that inherits the ancient bloodline of our ancestor you've become attached to help the weak and become a lady of integrity I know that you will ask about this rats since those rats are brewing with a nasty plan."

Krystal was now more than shocked! She knew the night gang's plan all along!?

"Y-you-" But before she could even speak right, Catherine continued the word that her little cousin was about to say, "You want to ask why I know all about this? Am I that simple?" Catherine smiled mysteriously, she approached Krystal slowly and leaned her head over the side of Krystal's ear as she whispered, "Everything that happened, or that will happen won't escape this beautiful lady's ears, because everything here on the city is completely within my palms… There's nothing this city can hide from me." Her voice sounds soft but for Krystal, it was very creepy.

Catherine slowly moved away, the shocked expression of Krystal turned grave as she looked at Catherine with difficulty, "So you knew all along? Why didn't you prevent them?" She asked as she tried to probe her older cousin.

Catherine snorted, "Why would I? This beautiful lady is not interested."

What?

"Their actions would implicate the entire city without even people knowing!" Krystal was bewildered and shocked to hear her answer.

"And so? I am not interested in helping weaklings and even if their actions implicate the city I wouldn't care, if those weaklings suffer from the actions of these rats it's their fault that they are weak. And also, these rats' actions wouldn't affect my businesses at all, although these rats are still rats, they're not dumb enough to offend those people who hold great powers in the city." Catherine casually said as if it was only natural, even when she blames those weak and powerless people in the city she had a disdain expression on her face as if helping those weak people would be the same as stepping on shit.

"Catherine! Why are you being like this!?" Krystal is very angry and hurt at the same time.

"Krystal, these matters have always been only for personal interests. I have a different personal interest and I'm not interested in these matters, meanwhile on the other hand, aren't you only interested in helping people at first? It is always have been your choice and you should be more respectful to the choice of others. Hmph! If you keep nagging me like this, forget asking for help from this beautiful lady, because I won't tolerate annoyance even if you're my cousin!" Catherine snorted as she crossed her arms together.

Seeing her getting annoyed and her powerful aura is radiating slowly, Krystal could only contain the words that she wanted to rebut against her. But since she is here to gather information, angering her further would put her too much of a trouble.

"… Alright." At this moment, she would no longer hope that her cousin would return back to her old self and the memories she had for her would be hidden further away from the back of her memories as she would no longer want to remember her as close as she was used to be.

Krystal gave up and turned to look at her Catherine with cold indifference, the same how she looked at high officials in the country. Since she came here to do business, she would no longer beat around the bush and go directly ask Catherine, "Tell me your condition."

"Now that's what's I like…" Catherine didn't put her crossed arm down, she turned to look at Krystal with her chin slightly lifted upwards and her lips curled up, "As for this condition, it was really simple… But, I wonder if you would agree."

Krystal felt uneasy and her fists right beside her skirt tightly clenched together. "I wouldn't know if I would agree first or not if you're not going to tell me."

"Why so serious? It's really simple, you see. There's this person I would like to meet." Catherine smiled with her white teeth showing and she looked at Krystal with teasing and a seductive smile that could make the skin crawl.

Krystal was deep in thought with her brows furrowed together when she heard and saw her provoking look on her… 'What is she talking about?'

Catherine stared at Krystal without changing her expression and seeing that her little cousin is a little confused, she gave a hint, "This person, that gave you a new nickname and I think you understand right, Yuri ha?"

"!!!"

Krystal entire figure went frozen as a shocked expression filled her face, she couldn't believe to what Catherine had said!

The person she actually wanted to meet is Cyrus!?

"You! How did you know!?" Krystal took a step back, she couldn't believe that Catherine would actually know her new nickname.

Seeing the little cat being frightened, Catherine smiled further, "You completely underestimated this beautiful lady's intelligence-gathering capability… You see, not only the city could not keep secrets away from me, but the outside as well! As for how I did this, this is a personal secret." She puts her slender finger from her mouth indicating Krystal to keep it secret.

But for Krystal, she had her eyes still wide open. She really indeed underestimated her cousin, to think that she's this powerful! She no longer feels unthreatened towards her as fear slowly crept up from her heart. This Catherine is truly dangerous!

But then, her heart couldn't keep easy because this lady apparently has already set her eyes to her friend, Cyrus!

"What do you want from Cyrus? Why do you want to meet him?" Krystal seriously asked.

Catherine suddenly beamed with a smile across her face, "Oh! So his name was Cyrus!" Her excited voice made Krystal extremely uneasy.

Catherine walked towards Krystal softly along with her h.i.p.s bouncing side to side, she then swiftly leaned her face a few inches away from Krystal's beautiful face, "Say, is he your boyfriend?" She teasingly said.

"&@^!&$!#"

Krystal wanted to smack her face and shout a cuss only to end up biting her tongue as she was extremely shocked that her face quickly turned beet red, and her shocked expression that she currently made could make people adore her as she looked extremely cute, "Y-y-you, it's not like that! He's my friend, just a friend!" She stuttered with her hands trembling.

"Oh~ Really? Why are you this shocked?" Catherine finds her expression amusing, her crimson eyes flickered with a strange light, "Anyway, after all these years you finally made a friend? And a guy on top of that, have your heart change because of him?"

"What the heck are you saying! Can't I just accept anyone to be my friend? It's just a friend! Is that even a big of a deal?!" Krystal was extremely flushed, her voice was high, and her heart was beating madly.

Catherine was right, she hasn't had a friend before outside the clan, in fact, she thought before that friendship isn't necessary but then, she felt weird when she met Cyrus, and the more they spend together the more she feels relaxed and what she did not notice is that she became a lot warmer compared the past.

The time of the two spent together was not significant to make them feel comfortable to each other yet the result was visible which is why that even Cyrus feels weird about it. The two actually felt that they have a weird connection towards each other, but they can't point it out to find why is that.

"Stop messing around now Catherine, what do you need to meet him?" Krystal forced her messy emotions from the bottom before crossing her arms and asked Catherine seriously.

"Is there really need a reason why I want to meet him? You see, this beautiful lady is just a bit interested in this man, that's all." Catherine smiled mysteriously.

"…" Krystal stared at Catherine's crimson eyes but she still couldn't understand.

"That's the condition, If you don't bring him here, then I won't talk to you."

Krystal was silent, she didn't know what to say. In fact, she doesn't want Cyrus to involve in this matter in the first place and she even wanted him to go first to the enrollment field, but then, he insisted to assist her in this matter.

And now, her cousin who is renowned for being seductress has set her eyes on her friend!
