Luna Sutton felt a chill down her neck from Zeke Veridian's stare, forcing a sheepish grin: "That's just a side effect of the Fox Clan's Charm Technique!"
She suddenly hooked an arm around Kian Sterling's neck, "If you don't believe me, ask Kian. Don't your Nine-Tails' secret technique make people say one thing and mean another, and just talk nonsense?"
Kian lifted his brows slightly, nine fox tails suddenly coiling up and lifting people into the air: "Luna's absolutely right. Our Fox Clan's secret technique really does..."
Before he finished, a mocking laugh suddenly drifted from an ancient tree above:
"Heh…Zeke, Luna's just speaking the truth. Your mouth really is vicious. Not liking you is pretty normal. What's there to be mad about?"
Everyone looked that way and saw Malachi Arcanus lazily slouched on a tree branch, his figure almost completely hidden by lush leaves, blending into the pitch dark night—if you didn't look closely, you'd never see him.
