Rise of the Eromancer

Chapter 240 To The Hyenas

"...What was that all about?"

Dominique was completely shocked by what she had just witnessed. She could really only watch in awe from inside the building as Rhys's entire demeanor just completely changed as he addressed the questions of the reporters.

It was almost as if he was a completely different man entirely — and as someone who had also served in the Underworld Corps, Dominique was also trained to completely act calm under pressure, no matter what... but this was completely different.

Rhys was also mostly answering the questions of female reporters, and by their expressions, he was convincing them all. It was almost as if they were just eating whatever came out of his mouth, almost literally as the women have their mouths opened while just feasting with their eyes.

And now that he was done and entered the prison building again, his demeanor shifted into Rhys that Dominique was familiar with.

"Why are you making this weird?" Rhys just squinted his eyes at Dominique as she was looking at him from head to toe, even patting him in several places almost as if she was touching a ghost.

"Who are you...? What have you done to Rhys!?" Dominique then lightly pushed Rhys away before pointing right at his face.

"You really should have told me about them," Rhys only let out a heavy breath as he lightly swatted Dominique's hand away, "And why — how are they even here? I also saw a large satellite outside, does that mean we have connection to the outside world now?"

"Nah," Dominique followed behind Rhys as he started walking away, "The reporters are using it. Some of the gang actually wanted to talk to their family, but it would seem we do not have the same privilege as you since they were almost shut down by the new guards."

"...New guards?" Rhys looked around, only to see large empty hallways, "I haven't seen anyone in uniform."

"Well, they're more like military, I think. They don't go inside the buildings," Dominique shrugged, "I've heard from the Maria chick that they have orders not to enter the building. But if you ask me, I think Talia scared them off — they're mostly just in the airstrip and the road leading here."

"And where's Talia?"

"She should be—What the fuck!?" Dominique could not help but almost jump in fright as Maria suddenly popped out of her shadow without any sort of hint or warning. And while Dominique was completely shocked, the woman who just so casually emerged from her shadow completely ignored her.

Maria just quickly and very swiftly went to Riley; wrapping her arms around his neck before just kissing him there and then.

"What—" Dominique was going to say something, but she could not help but just shut her mouth as soon as she saw Maria putting her tongue inside Rhys's mouth. She wasn't just casually kissing him, she was dead-smack violating the inside of his mouth in front of Dominique, a stranger.

Dominique then suddenly lost her breath as Maria suddenly glanced at her; a small smile, crawling on her face while she was busy kissing Rhys.

Was she... actually enjoying that someone was watching?

"Uh..." Maria then let out an unnecessary small moan as she finally leaned away from Rhys. She then turned to look at Dominique while wiping off the saliva trailing from her lips, "I didn't see you there. I'm sorry for showing such an unsightly sight."

"The fuck you didn't," Dominique gulped, "You came out of my shadow!"

"Rhys," Maria then turned her back to Dominique, not even bothering to answer her anymore as she focused on Rhys, "It would seem that you have been busy. I truly thought you would rest for a little while while in prison, but it would seem trouble and opportunity just finds you wherever you go."

"It's too bad," Maria licked her lips, "I quite like seeing this rugged side of you. They murdered your hair, but you look even more bad this way, in a good way. Like a beast that would ravage me and violate me sexually in front of all the people."

"What the fuck..." Dominique could not help but once again widen her eyes at Maria's statement, "...Rhys, are all of your women whacked in the head? I thought Talia would be the most crazy one."

"You have not even met K," Maria glanced at Dominique, "If you think Talia and I are crazy, wait until you meet her."

"Katarina isn't that crazy," Rhys looked at Maria.

"You don't see it because the one she is crazy about is you," Maria scoffed, "W—"

"This woman is still on our side of the border?" And before Maria could finish her words, Talia appeared from the other end of the hallway, glaring at her, "I thought you'd left."

"I thought you would have died already considering your age," Maria responded almost immediately, "I suppose we are both wrong."

"Heh," Talia only smirked before focusing on Rhys, "Wilder, your pet called on the line. I have no idea what she is saying, but it seems urgent."

"...Where is she now?"

"Behind me," Talia then pointed her thumb behind her, and there, Edissa was dragging a very unwilling Prince Abu across the floor.

"Ah, Rhys!" And as soon as Edissa caught Rhys in her eyes, she immediately kicked Prince Abu on the head, momentarily causing him to stop struggling, "Prince Abu is awake! I brought him to the courtyard like you said, but it caused him to become even more manic."

"I guess he's stubborn until the end," Rhys sighed.

"Should... we just kill him?" Edissa then looked Rhys in the eyes, "He's also starting to annoy me."

"No..." Rhys squinted his eyes at Prince Abu for a few seconds before approaching Edissa and grabbing the prince from her hand, "...Is the vegetarian prince and his cohorts awake too?"

"Mildly."

"Call them and then follow me," Rhys ordered Edissa before turning around and walking away.

"Yow, yow!" Dominique quickly walked beside Rhys as she noticed where he was heading, "That's the way back to those hyenas."

"I know," Rhys just casually shrugged his shoulders before dragging Prince Abu with him. As for Maria and Talia, the two just looked at each other before scoffing and following behind Rhys.

"Wake up," Rhys then slapped Prince Abu several times on the cheek to wake him up,

"It's time to introduce you to the world, Your Majesty."
