Short filmTranscript
00:00The moon wolf howled at the border, shaking the earth for three days.
00:04The serpent swept over the imperial capital, and all twelve elders spat blood at once.
00:09The phoenix flapped its wings, and thirty thousand troops dropped to their knees.
00:14No one knew the master of them all was me, the trash with no beast core.
00:24I exist by your will, master.
00:32Master, I am yours to command.
00:35Five years ago, I was the worthless outcast of House Blackwood.
00:39I failed to form a beast core during the trial, so they stripped me from my resources.
00:43They threw me and my infant daughter into the ashwood forest, and left us there to die.
00:48I raised Sophia alone in the forest.
00:51To keep my daughter company, I turned ordinary animal to SSS tier beasts.
00:56Now they became her pets, that was how she called them.
01:00Sophia's gone off somewhere again.
01:03Whatever.
01:05Moonpaw and Nyx are watching her.
01:07She'll be fine.
01:09Three bounty hunters stumbled into the clearing near the eastern forest.
01:12In front of the three of them coiled a giant serpent.
01:14Stop!
01:15Why is there an SSS tier beast here?
01:18Captain, that's not one SSS tier.
01:22That's two!
01:23Our scanners showed this area had no beast activity at all.
01:27We only came for a few for a few B-ranked spirit herbs.
01:30Either one of those things could level a city district.
01:33We don't have a prey of surviving this.
01:35Just as they were waiting for death, a girl stepped out.
01:37Hey, Moonpaw and Nyx, don't scare the Unxles.
01:40The black serpent lowered its enormous head toward her.
01:43You're going to be eaten alive!
01:45Run!
01:46Uncle, don't be scared.
01:48They're good babies.
01:50Right, Snowpaw.
01:51Good boy.
01:52The SSS-ranked monster immediately lowered himself and carried the girl away on his back.
01:57Who the hell is this child?
01:59Several luxury SUVs stopped outside the forest.
02:02Where's the spirit hub?
02:05Mr. Blackwood, the mission failed.
02:10What?
02:11There are two SSS-ranked beasts inside that forest.
02:14We couldn't even get close.
02:17Such rare SSS-tier beasts in this dump forest?
02:20You think I'm an idiot?
02:22My lord, we saw them ourselves.
02:24Marcus waved them off.
02:25Then he and his entourage went to collect the spirit herb themselves.
02:29Mr. Blackwood, there must be a hundred A-raid plants here.
02:32And those over there, that's an S-class crimson root.
02:35And gods, is that a dragon's mouth orchid?
02:38Young master, we're rich!
02:41Marcus was already grabbing.
02:42Load everything, now!
02:44Hey!
02:45Sophia stepped out from the tree line, holding a basket in her arms.
02:48There was a little dog at her feet and a small snake on her shoulder.
02:51What are you doing in my garden?
02:53Go away, kid.
02:54We're handling business.
02:55This is my family's field.
02:57You're stealing.
02:59You're stealing.
03:02Kid, run along before you get hurt.
03:06This field belongs to House Blackwood now.
03:09Otherwise, I'll kill you.
03:11You're bullying people!
03:13I walked out from the forest shadows.
03:16And who gave you permission to threaten my daughter?
03:20Everyone turned instantly.
03:22Ethan!
03:23You're still alive!
03:25Lily immediately ran toward me.
03:28Daddy!
03:29They took our herbs and they were mean to me!
03:33I see that.
03:34My voice became ice cold.
03:38You trespassed into my territory.
03:41You threatened my daughter.
03:43So tell me, how do you want to die?
03:46Ethan!
03:47Have you lost your mind?
03:49Five years ago, you couldn't even form a Beast Corps.
03:52You were thrown out of House Blackwood like a stray dog.
03:55And now you think you can threaten me?
03:57You're nothing now.
03:59A failed Beast Bond loser.
04:01How dare you be so insolent in front of the Blackwood heir?
04:04Know your place!
04:05Now kneel and beg forgiveness from our young master.
04:08Otherwise, you and your bastard daughter will die here today.
04:13Oh, right.
04:15Your parents' memorial relics are still inside the Blackwood Ancestral Hall.
04:19My brother now ranks second only to the Patriarch.
04:22He already said it.
04:23Soon, those relics will be thrown out with the rest of the trash.
04:26Nobody touches my parents.
04:28Perfect timing.
04:30I was already planning to return to House Blackwood.
04:33To settle every debt.
04:35You, a loser.
04:37Then I'll grant you the mercy of joining your parents in death.
04:40Kill him!
04:41Several Beast Tamers instantly summoned their contracted creatures.
04:44Daddy, they're scary.
04:47Close your eyes.
04:48The next second, the forest shook violently.
04:51What is that?
04:54Another war echo.
05:06SSS rank!
05:07All of them are SSS rank!
05:10That's impossible!
05:12Ethan didn't have Beast Corps!
05:13How could he possibly control five SSS rank beasts?
05:21Young Master Ethan!
05:23Please!
05:24We were blind!
05:25Please spare us!
05:27How...
05:27How can you control five SSS rank beasts?
05:30The debt between me and House Blackwood...
05:33starts with you.
05:34Wait, you can't kill me!
05:35We're both Blackwoods.
05:37If you spare me, I'll speak for you when we return to House Blackwood.
05:40When you threw me and Sophia out into the wilderness...
05:43Did any of you show mercy?
05:45That...
05:46That was different.
05:47Now you have five SSS rank beasts.
05:50The family will definitely welcome you back.
05:53My brother already has enormous influence inside Blackwood.
05:56As long as I help you,
05:57you'll become one of the most important people in the entire house!
06:00You really expect me to believe you?
06:02I didn't return for forgiveness.
06:04I came back for my parents' relics.
06:06As for coming back to House Blackwood,
06:08I couldn't care less.
06:11Ethan Blackwood!
06:12Don't push your luck!
06:14You think controlling a few SSS rank beasts makes you invincible?
06:18House Blackwood will crush you!
06:20Fuck you sooner or later!
06:22And that bastard daughter of yours!
06:28Daddy...
06:28My daughter was too kind.
06:30She doesn't like blood.
06:31He's scared.
06:34He's letting us go.
06:35When we go back to the House Blackwood,
06:37I'll get the secret from that trash.
06:40How he controls SSS rank beasts.
06:42And when we do,
06:44I'll be the one to kill him myself.
06:47The serpent immediately coiled itself around the Blackwood line
06:50and dragged them into the forest.
06:52No, Ethan, please!
06:56Daddy, where did they go?
06:59They won't bother us anymore.
07:02House Blackwood.
07:05After five years,
07:07I was finally returning.
07:10In the cabin,
07:11Sophia was looking outside through the window.
07:13Sophie,
07:13I have to deal with something at the Blackwood estate.
07:16Wait for me at home.
07:18No, Daddy,
07:19I want to go with you.
07:22Just to retrieve something.
07:24Blackwood is dangerous.
07:25There may be fighting.
07:26I won't let anyone hurt my daughter again.
07:28Nix and Moonpaw will stay here and protect you.
07:30I'll come back very soon.
07:32Okay.
07:35I'll secretly follow Daddy anyway.
07:38Meanwhile,
07:39in the castle of House Blackwood,
07:41Victor Blackwood frowned
07:42while sitting at the head of the council chamber.
07:44Alexander Blackwood sat across.
07:46Patriarch,
07:47my brother and the others still haven't returned.
07:49Do you think something might happen to him?
07:51This is White Hollow City.
07:53Who would dare touch a member of House Blackwilled?
07:56But there are rumors.
07:58They say SSS-ranked beasts appeared in the forest.
08:01SSS-ranked.
08:03In those wastelands,
08:04the strongest beasts there are barely B-ranked.
08:06People exaggerate nonsense whenever they get scared.
08:10And if there truly were SSS-ranked monsters,
08:13Marcus's team would never have survived long enough to report it.
08:17That's true.
08:18Patriarch is right.
08:22Still,
08:23they've been gone too long.
08:26Send an elite squad to locate Marcus.
08:30Yes, Patriarch.
08:35Patriarch.
08:37What is it?
08:39Ethan Blackwood has returned.
08:42It had been five years.
08:44That trash actually dared come back?
08:48Alexander left the moment he saw me.
08:50Well, well.
08:51Isn't this the failure they threw out five years ago?
08:53What happened?
08:53Couldn't survive outside,
08:54so now you came crawling back?
08:56Begging the family to take you in?
08:58And where's that bastard daughter of yours?
09:00She didn't starve to death out there, did she?
09:02The heir of mystical Darkwood.
09:05You're asking for death.
09:11Enough!
09:12You are no longer part of House Blackwood.
09:14And as Patriarch,
09:16I will never allow your return.
09:18Good.
09:19Because I'm not interested in returning.
09:21I came for one thing only.
09:23My parents' memorial relics.
09:25Those relics,
09:25they don't deserve to remain in the Blackwood anyway.
09:27But you think you can simply walk in and take them?
09:31I wasn't asking for a deal.
09:32House Blackwood hands them over peacefully.
09:34Luckily, I may spare the family.
09:36But if anyone tries to stop me,
09:38they'll end up exactly like Marcus.
09:43What did you say?
09:44What happened to Marcus?
09:46He's dead.
09:49That's impossible!
09:51Who killed him?
09:52I did.
09:55You?
09:56Killed Marcus?
09:58Leon had an A-ranked beast contract,
10:00and you couldn't even form a beast corps!
10:02If Ethan really killed him,
10:04I'll eat dirt right here!
10:07Enough games.
10:09Ethan, say it clearly.
10:10What really happened to Marcus?
10:11You clearly know something.
10:13You're not leaving this estate until you explain.
10:16I'm not here to explain anything.
10:19Bring me my parents' relics.
10:21Or don't blame me for what happens next.
10:25You traitor!
10:26You colluded with outsiders
10:27to murder members of House Blackwood!
10:29You're the disgrace of this bloodline!
10:35Alexander unconsciously stepped back.
10:37Fine.
10:38You want the relics?
10:39I'll have them brought here.
10:41Alex, you...
10:43Rest assured, patriarch.
10:45Damien.
10:46Retrieve them.
10:47I couldn't wait to see what game
10:49the Blackwoods were playing.
10:51Far across the city,
10:53inside a black luxury car,
10:55sat a stunning woman.
10:56Evelyn Sterling,
10:57heiress of House Sterling.
10:59One of the most powerful beast houses
11:01in the entire region.
11:02It's been five years.
11:04I wonder how Ethan and our daughter are doing now.
11:07Back then,
11:08I had no choice but to leave
11:09without saying goodbye.
11:11But this time,
11:11when I return,
11:12I'll make it up to them properly.
11:14Miss,
11:15are you thinking about him again?
11:16I heard he failed to form Beast Corps.
11:19He's not worthy of you.
11:22Pull over.
11:26Miss Sterling?
11:32Miss,
11:33Miss,
11:34do you know this child?
11:36No,
11:37but she gives me
11:38a strangely familiar feeling.
11:41Where did this wild little brat come from?
11:44You ate food without paying.
11:45I wasn't trying to not pay.
11:48I was just really hungry.
11:51My daddy is nearby.
11:52When I find him,
11:54he'll pay you double.
11:56Oh,
11:56really?
11:56Then where is your father?
11:58Call him over.
12:01I can't find daddy.
12:04I got lost.
12:07I got lost.
12:09At your age and already lying.
12:11How much?
12:13Oh,
12:13miss,
12:14it's fine.
12:15I'll pay.
12:16Yes,
12:17yes,
12:17yes.
12:17Thank you,
12:18Miss Sterling.
12:20What a pretty big sister.
12:23It's all right now.
12:26Thank you for helping me pay.
12:30Why are you here alone?
12:32Where are your parents?
12:34I never had a mommy.
12:36Daddy had something important to do
12:38and didn't bring me.
12:40I'm sorry.
12:42I didn't know your mother
12:44had passed away.
12:45Oh,
12:45no,
12:46no.
12:46She disappeared right after
12:48giving birth to me.
12:49What kind of mother
12:50abandons her own child?
12:54People these days.
12:57Pretty big sister.
12:59Can you help me find daddy?
13:02Of course.
13:03Where is your father?
13:05My daddy went to
13:06House Blackwood.
13:07House Blackwood?
13:09Your father is from
13:11the Blackwood family.
13:12My daddy is not one of them.
13:14He said everyone
13:16in House Blackwood is bad.
13:17My daddy is nothing like them.
13:20Then why did he go there?
13:22He said he had something
13:24important to do.
13:25But he wouldn't tell me.
13:30What a coincidence.
13:32I'm going to House Blackwood too.
13:34I'll take you there.
13:36Really?
13:38Thank you,
13:39pretty sister.
13:40The car slowly drove
13:41toward the Blackwood estate.
13:42Big sister.
13:44My name is Sophia.
13:45What's your name?
13:48Evelyn Sterling.
13:50Wow.
13:51Big sister is pretty
13:53and has a pretty name.
13:54Big sister.
13:56Can you be my mommy?
13:58What?
13:59My daddy is super handsome
14:02and really,
14:04really powerful.
14:06He definitely deserves
14:07someone as pretty as you.
14:09But big sister already
14:11have a husband and child.
14:12Then where are they?
14:16I came back to this city
14:18to find them.
14:20Inside House Blackwood,
14:21dozens of beast tamers
14:23surrounded me
14:24in the ancestral courtyard.
14:27Young master,
14:28the relics have been retrieved.
14:30Those were the final remains
14:31left behind by my parents.
14:34Give them to me.
14:36I only said
14:36I would bring them here.
14:38I never said
14:39I would give them to you.
14:43Five years ago,
14:44I made you crawl out
14:46of this house
14:46like a stray dog.
14:47And five years later,
14:48you're still
14:49that same pathetic dog.
14:51You came back here
14:53only to humiliate
14:54yourself again.
14:57You want these?
14:59Simple.
15:01Kneel.
15:01Then explain exactly
15:03how my brother died.
15:05If I'm satisfied,
15:07I might return them to you.
15:09Or I'll break it now.
15:18Dad.
15:20Mom.
15:23Ethan!
15:24You actually let
15:25those filthy beasts
15:27attack me!
15:28Kill him!
15:28Every beast tamer
15:30in the courtyard
15:31summoned their creatures
15:32simultaneously.
15:35House Blackwood
15:37no longer needs
15:39to exist.
15:46Daddy!
15:49Sophia.
15:52It's you.
15:54It's you.
15:56Daddy.
15:57You know this
15:58pretty big sister?
15:59Sophia.
16:02Why are you here?
16:03Didn't I tell you
16:04to wait for me?
16:06You cannot reveal
16:07the truth right now.
16:08If your past
16:09becomes public,
16:10then everything
16:10you've worked for
16:11these past years
16:12will collapse.
16:13In the Sterling family,
16:15only the next heir
16:16could truly protect
16:17Ethan and Sophia.
16:18Right now,
16:19she still wasn't
16:20strong enough.
16:20Ethan.
16:22Sophia.
16:24I'm sorry.
16:25I still can't
16:26acknowledge you
16:27openly.
16:28I need to become
16:29the heir of
16:30House Sterling first.
16:32Only then
16:33can I truly
16:34protect both of you.
16:37Miss Sterling.
16:39We didn't know
16:40you were coming.
16:41Please,
16:42forgive our
16:43poor hostility.
16:44House Blackwood
16:45is merely
16:46cleaning up
16:46internal matters.
16:47This arrogant
16:48trash simply
16:49refused to
16:50understand his
16:51place.
16:52You're not
16:53allowed to
16:54insult my
16:54daddy.
16:55So this
16:56little trot
16:57is already
16:57this big.
16:58She's just
16:59as worthless
17:00as her father.
17:03Who
17:04did you
17:05just call
17:06worthless?
17:07I meant
17:08Ethan's daughter.
17:10Miss Sterling.
17:11Do you know
17:12Ethan?
17:17Ethan Blackwild.
17:19Once saved
17:20my life.
17:20Ethan saved
17:21Miss Sterling.
17:23That's impossible.
17:26Helen only
17:26called me her
17:27savior.
17:28She never
17:28admitted our
17:29real relationship.
17:30There had to
17:30be a reason.
17:31Back then,
17:32she vanished
17:32overnight without
17:33even saying
17:34goodbye.
17:34Now it finally
17:35made sense.
17:36Something must
17:37have happened
17:37inside House
17:38Sterling.
17:38I slowly
17:39glanced toward
17:40her.
17:40After this was
17:41over, I would
17:41ask her everything.
17:42If Mr. Ethan
17:43is Miss Sterling's
17:44benefactor,
17:45then of course
17:46he may take
17:47the memorial
17:48relics at
17:49any time.
17:50Several Blackwood
17:51members looked
17:51horrified.
17:52How did Ethan
17:53end up connected
17:53to House
17:54Sterling?
17:54But none of
17:55them dared
17:56speak further.
17:57House
17:57Sterling was
17:57one of the
17:58supreme beast
17:59houses of the
17:59entire continent.
18:00Provoking them
18:01meant destruction.
18:03Alexander laughed
18:04nervously.
18:05This was all
18:06just a
18:07misunderstanding.
18:08Please don't
18:08take offense,
18:09Miss Sterling.
18:09It was not
18:10a misunderstanding.
18:11They sent people
18:13into the mountains
18:14to steal
18:14Daddy's herbs.
18:15They even
18:16wanted to
18:17kill us.
18:18Good thing
18:19Nyx and
18:20Moonpan
18:20protected us.
18:21Evelyn's eyes
18:22instantly turned
18:23cold.
18:24You sent
18:24people after
18:25them?
18:25Alexander's
18:25entire face
18:26paled.
18:27There must
18:28be some
18:28misunderstanding.
18:30Daddy and I
18:30have lived in
18:31the forest
18:31the whole
18:32time.
18:34You've
18:34really been
18:34living out
18:35for five
18:35years?
18:37Five years
18:37ago, I was
18:38expelled from
18:38House Blackwood.
18:39I stopped
18:39being part of
18:40his family
18:40long ago.
18:41A terrifying
18:42pressure exploded
18:43from the
18:43public lost.
18:44Very good.
18:47House Blackwood
18:48humiliated my
18:49benefactor.
18:51From today
18:52onward,
18:53all Sterling
18:54Industries
18:54will terminate
18:55every partnership
18:56with House
18:56Blackwell.
18:57The entire
18:57courtyard
18:58instantly
18:58exploded into
18:59pain.
18:59Miss Sterling,
19:00please!
19:02This will
19:02destroy House
19:03Blackwell!
19:04Now you're
19:05afraid.
19:06Too late.
19:07Alexander
19:08immediately
19:08turned toward
19:09me desperately.
19:10Ethan!
19:12As long
19:13as you speak
19:14for us,
19:15House Blackwood
19:16will compensate
19:16you.
19:17Spirit herbs,
19:18treasures,
19:19ancient cultivation
19:20manuals,
19:21anything we own,
19:22you may choose
19:23freely.
19:24You should
19:24apologize to him.
19:25You'll
19:25apologize.
19:29Ethan,
19:30we were wrong.
19:32Please show
19:32mercy.
19:34Please spare
19:35House Blackwell.
19:36daddy!
19:37Take all
19:38their treasures!
19:39The hundred
19:40year blood
19:40sprued,
19:41the thousand
19:42year moon
19:43fungus and
19:43all the
19:44treasures
19:44inside their
19:45vault.
19:49We'll give
19:50them all to
19:51you.
19:51Sophia happily
19:52held my hand.
19:53Daddy,
19:53let's go.
19:55It's only
19:56the beginning.
19:57If something
19:58more important
19:59hadn't happened
20:00today,
20:00I would have
20:01destroyed all
20:02of you
20:02personally.
20:03After I
20:03and the
20:04others left,
20:05the entire
20:05Blackwood
20:06estate
20:06exploded
20:07into fury.
20:09Today,
20:09House Blackwood
20:10was humiliated
20:11like this
20:11because of
20:12Ethan.
20:13No one
20:13expected that
20:14trash would
20:14become connected
20:15to Evelyn
20:16Sterling.
20:17Because of
20:17Ethan.
20:19We've
20:20completely
20:20offended
20:20House Sterling.
20:22How are we
20:23supposed to
20:23rebuild ties
20:24with them
20:24now?
20:25Young
20:26Master,
20:28you've
20:28forgotten
20:29something.
20:30House
20:30Sterling
20:31doesn't belong
20:32to Evelyn
20:32alone.
20:34You mean
20:35Lucas Sterling.
20:38Evelyn
20:39and Lucas
20:40are competing
20:40for the
20:41position of
20:41heir.
20:43They despise
20:44each other.
20:45If we
20:45support
20:46Lucas
20:46with
20:46everything
20:47we have,
20:48then once
20:48he becomes
20:49patriotic,
20:50Evelyn
20:50Sterling
20:51will become
20:51nothing more
20:52than a
20:52stray dog.
20:54And Ethan,
20:55he'll be
20:56ours to
20:57crush
20:57whatever
20:58we want.
20:58And those
20:59beasts
20:59beside him
21:00will belong
21:01to House
21:02Blackwell.
21:03Meanwhile,
21:03inside the
21:04Sterling convoy,
21:05Evelyn
21:05quietly sat
21:06beside me.
21:09I'm sorry,
21:10Ethan.
21:11You and
21:12Sophia suffered
21:13in those
21:13mountains
21:14because of
21:14me.
21:15I want to
21:16know the
21:17truth.
21:19Why did
21:20you disappear
21:20five years
21:21ago?
21:22Five years
21:23ago,
21:24my grandfather
21:25fell critically
21:26ill.
21:26He announced
21:27a succession
21:28trial for the
21:29next heir
21:29of House
21:30Sterling.
21:30My opponent
21:32was my
21:33brother,
21:34Lucas
21:34Sterling.
21:35He's
21:36ruthless.
21:38Even if
21:38I lost,
21:39he never
21:40would have
21:40spared me.
21:42If he
21:43discovered
21:43you and
21:44Sophia
21:44existed,
21:46he would
21:46have used
21:47you against
21:47me.
21:48So the
21:49only way
21:49to protect
21:50both of
21:50you
21:52was for
21:52me to
21:53leave
21:53alone
21:53and fight
21:54for control
21:55of House
21:55Sterling.
21:55I
21:56finally
21:56fell
21:57silent.
21:57So all
21:58these
21:58years,
21:58she had
21:59been
21:59protecting
21:59us
22:00in
22:00her
22:00own
22:00way.
22:02During
22:02these
22:02years
22:03inside
22:03House
22:03Sterling,
22:05I gained
22:05access to
22:06certain
22:06hidden
22:07records.
22:08Records
22:08about
22:09your
22:09parents.
22:11What
22:12records?
22:14The
22:14deaths
22:15of your
22:15parents
22:15contain
22:16many
22:16suspicious
22:17details.
22:18They
22:18may not
22:19truly
22:19be
22:19dead.
22:21What?
22:22Now
22:22that I
22:23thought
22:23about it,
22:23nobody
22:24had ever
22:24truly
22:24seen
22:25their
22:25bodies.
22:25The
22:25family
22:26only
22:26claimed
22:26they
22:26disappeared
22:27during
22:27a
22:27classified
22:28mission.
22:28I
22:28slowly
22:29narrowed
22:29my
22:29eyes.
22:30What
22:31else
22:31do
22:31you
22:32know?
22:33House
22:33Sterling
22:34records
22:34many
22:34hidden
22:34matters,
22:35but only
22:36the next
22:37patriarch
22:37can fully
22:38access
22:38them.
22:40Ethan,
22:42when I
22:42become the
22:43heir of
22:43House
22:43Sterling,
22:45I promise
22:45I'll uncover
22:46the truth
22:46for you.
22:47Then
22:47maybe
22:48I should
22:49help
22:49you
22:49become
22:49heir.
22:51No!
22:52You
22:53failed the
22:53beast
22:53bond
22:54trial.
22:54You're
22:54still
22:55officially
22:55considered
22:56an ordinary
22:56human.
22:57The power
22:57struggle
22:58inside House
22:58Sterling is
22:59far more
22:59dangerous than
23:00you imagine.
23:01I can't drag
23:02you into it.
23:02As long as
23:03you and
23:04Sophia stay
23:04safe.
23:05That's already
23:06enough for
23:06me.
23:08This stubborn
23:09woman.
23:09Sophia suddenly
23:10poked her head
23:11between us.
23:12Daddy.
23:13Big sister.
23:15What are you
23:16two doing?
23:20Nothing.
23:21It's just
23:22too hot
23:22in here.
23:23Yes.
23:24Too hot.
23:29Ethan.
23:30What are
23:31your plans
23:31now?
23:32Why don't
23:33you stay
23:33at House
23:33Sterling for
23:34now?
23:35That would
23:35make helping
23:36you much
23:36easier.
23:38Miss,
23:38is this
23:39really
23:39appropriate?
23:40Our
23:40wenchinal
23:41purpose was
23:42to search
23:42for an
23:42A-rage
23:43spirit
23:43herb.
23:44Now,
23:45not only
23:45did
23:45define
23:46we
23:46one
23:46and
23:46you're
23:46bringing
23:47back
23:47an
23:47ordinary
23:47man
23:48and
23:48a
23:48child.
23:49I'm
23:50afraid
23:50the
23:50family
23:51won't
23:51approve.
23:52If you
23:52truly care
23:53about
23:53Miss
23:54Stabling,
23:55you should
23:56leave
23:56voluntarily
23:56instead
23:57of
23:57becoming
23:58her
23:58burden.
23:58Old
23:59grandpa!
24:00If we
24:00find that
24:01A-rank
24:01herb
24:02thingy,
24:03then
24:03daddy
24:03and I
24:03can
24:04go
24:04with
24:04big
24:04sister,
24:05right?
24:05If
24:06someone
24:06can
24:06truly
24:07provide
24:07the
24:07herb
24:08house
24:08stallard
24:08needs,
24:10then
24:10naturally
24:11they
24:11will
24:11become
24:12honored
24:12guests.
24:14But
24:15daddy
24:15grows
24:15lots
24:16of
24:16herbs
24:16in
24:16our
24:16garden.
24:18A-rank
24:18spirit
24:19worms
24:19are
24:19heavenly
24:20treasures,
24:21not
24:21weeds
24:22grown
24:22in
24:22some
24:22backyard.
24:24I'm
24:24not
24:24lying.
24:25Daddy
24:26grows
24:26lots
24:27of
24:27mountain
24:27weeds.
24:29Ignorant
24:30child.
24:32If
24:33you
24:33don't
24:34believe
24:34us,
24:35then
24:35come
24:35see
24:36daddy's
24:36herb
24:36field.
24:39All
24:40right.
24:41Let's
24:42go
24:42see
24:42it.
24:43Several
24:43beast
24:44tamers
24:44under
24:44Evelyn
24:45followed
24:45us
24:45into
24:46the
24:46forest.
24:46The
24:46deeper
24:47we
24:47traveled,
24:48the
24:48thinner
24:48the
24:48spiritual
24:49energy
24:49became.
24:51This
24:52place
24:52is
24:53practically
24:54a
24:54wasteland.
24:55I
24:55refuse
24:55to
24:55believe
24:55any
24:56high-grade
24:56spirit
24:56herbs
24:57could
24:57grow
24:57here.
24:58So
24:58Ethan
24:58and
24:59Sophia
24:59really
24:59lived
25:00in
25:00this
25:00kind
25:00of
25:00environment
25:01for
25:01five
25:01years.
25:02We're
25:02almost
25:02there.
25:03I'd
25:04like
25:04to
25:04see
25:04what
25:04herb
25:05field
25:05exists
25:06in
25:06these
25:06cursed
25:06mountains.
25:08Suddenly
25:08something
25:09huge
25:16several
25:16sterling
25:17guards
25:17instantly
25:18summoned
25:18their
25:19contracted
25:19beasts.
25:20A
25:20gigantic
25:21demonic
25:21wolf
25:21flashed
25:22across
25:22the
25:23trees.
25:23Its
25:23terrifying
25:24aura
25:24made
25:25everyone's
25:25expressions
25:26change
25:26instantly.
25:27But
25:27the
25:27next
25:27second
25:28the
25:28wolf
25:28suddenly
25:29stopped.
25:29Then
25:29it
25:30lowered
25:30its
25:30head
25:30slightly
25:31toward
25:31us
25:31before
25:32disappearing
25:32into
25:33the
25:33forest.
25:33That
25:34demonic
25:34wolf
25:35ran
25:36away?
25:36With
25:37the
25:37strength
25:37of
25:37that
25:37creature
25:38it
25:39shouldn't
25:39fear
25:40ordinary
25:40beast
25:40hampers.
25:41Perhaps
25:42it
25:42saw
25:43our
25:43numbers
25:43and
25:43chose
25:43to
25:44retreat.
25:44Is
25:44that
25:45a
25:45giant
25:45puppy
25:45just

25:47even
25:47know
25:47how
25:47dangerous

25:49We're

25:51What?
25:52Spirit
25:53energy
25:53flooded
25:54the
25:54entire
25:54area.
25:55Hundreds
25:55of

26:38somehow
26:38become

26:38more

31:13lucas hated
31:14that answer
31:15he had been
31:15expecting me to
31:16stumble over
31:17gratitude
31:17to scrape
31:18and bow
31:19instead i was
31:19already turning
31:20toward the
31:20door
31:21rest lord sterling
31:22the bond
31:23between your
31:23system and the
31:24catalyst will fully
31:25stabilize within 48
31:26hours
31:26i left without looking at lucas again
31:28there was no point
31:29i already knew what was coming
31:32they sent the house steward after me
31:34not lucas himself
31:35he was too proud for that
31:36the man caught me in the corridor outside the guest quarters
31:39behind him two of lucas's personal bonded creatures lurked
31:42a pair of a rank shadowhounds
31:44their dark coats shimmering with suppressed aggression
31:47mr blackwood
31:48young master lucas requests a private audience
31:52i'm not interested
31:57i stopped
31:58because i was deciding how much to show them
32:00the answer was
32:01nothing yet
32:02i turned
32:03lead the way
32:04lucas was waiting in one of the sterling manor's smaller reception rooms
32:08the kind used for negotiations you wanted to keep off the official record
32:14let's skip the pleasantries
32:16fine
32:17the s-rank beast cores
32:19where did you get them
32:20does it matter
32:22you were expelled from house blackwood five years ago
32:25at the time you had nothing
32:27no contracted beast
32:28no beast core
32:29a failed beast bond trial
32:31men who can't bond don't accumulate s-rank catalects
32:34so
32:35what's your secret
32:36i looked at him
32:38he was young
32:38maybe 23
32:39smart enough to be dangerous
32:41not wise enough to be careful
32:43help me
32:43share whatever advantage you've found
32:45when i become head of house sterling
32:47you'll be rewarded
32:47status
32:48wealth
32:49power
32:50evelyn can't give you those things
32:52she's fighting for her own survival
32:54just to be clear
32:55you're offering me table scraps from a seat you haven't won yet
32:58here's my answer
33:00you have nothing i want
33:01you aries
33:02you try to move against me inside these walls
33:04i won't wait for you to finish
33:06and i won't be polite about it
33:08i walked out
33:09behind me i heard lucas's voice
33:12he knows something
33:13find out what it is
33:14and bring me his daughter
33:15my steps didn't falter
