Playing With Other Supernaturals

The arranged time according to their plan, at 6 o'clock in the evening. Inside the separate space found in Temple of Aphaia, The current generation of the Perseus Clan is sitting around a stone table with a small statue of an owl which is Athena's sacred animal.

Dennis has a frown on his face as he stares at his only rival at this point he has, Theodore, who is currently polishing his nails.

"Don't look at me like that. We can settle this later." Theodore stopped polishing his nails and eyed the one who started and gathered all of them here, Petter, "I'm more curious as to where you got that country girl and why you thought that she can lure that monster here. If you make that kind of fanfare, she'll know for sure that this is just a big trap for her. See? It's already 6 o'clock and she's still not here."

Theodore is referring to the blindfolded, gagged, and unconscious brown-haired girl lying on the ground beside the table.

Petter has his eyes closed while leaning on his chair holding his spear with his right hand. He opened his eyes and glanced at his captive then transferred his sight to Theodore, "The fact that some of our members have their blood drained is proof enough that she's coming for us."

Theodore didn't speak after that and just continued polishing his nails.

Dennis, on the other hand, stood up and approached the girl. He stared at her for a bit before kicking her away, "How is this trash connected to that monster."

When Petter saw this happen, the corner of his eyes twitches and he gulped, "You don't need to know that." He glared at Dennis.

Theodore didn't miss this reaction of him and started to have some suspicion.

Dennis flinched at his glare and sat back down. Petter then proceeded to ignore him and closed his eyes to rest.

"Uhmm... Shouldn't we stop this?" Elexa who is quietly sitting with them all this time suddenly spoke, "It's already 6 o'clock anyway... She probably won't show up."

"Shut up and just wait! What are you doing here anyway? You'll just hinder us so go home before you get hurt!" Dennis snarled at her, pouring his stressed mind on her. Ever since he failed to kill Medusa that night even with the use of their House's poison which they developed through several generations in secret, his father kept blaming and beating him up for failing to meet expectations. And among those who're currently present, he can only take it out on his subordinates and Elexa, 'If she really blocks my way to kill that monster again, I'll break both of her legs this time.'

"Hiih!!!" Elexa reeled back to her seat due to the immensity of pressure is releasing towards her.

"Stop this nonsense!" Theodore glared at Dennis and took out his weapon, a whip, "If you want to go at it, then you can invite me! I'll be happy to oblige!"

"Do you think that I'm scared of you!?" Dennis pulled out his rapier and circulated his Mana, "And why are you standing up for this bitch!? Isn't she just a hindrance!?"

"None of your business, shithead! If I want to protect her, then that's up for me to decide!" Theodore in response, also released his Mana, 'Although she's a hindrance, she's also one of the rare naive and kind person in this f.u.c.k.i.e.d up clan. I want to protect this flower or else the whole clan will be one more step into depravity.'

With his spear, Petter cut the table into half, "If you want to fight, do it outside. It seems that both of you aren't interested in that monster anyway."

Dennis and Theodore's face became dignified. They both glared at each other before sitting back down. Elexa gave Theodore a gratified glance but he ignored it.

The stone table they are using is situated in the center of a stadium akin to that of the Roman Empire's. Around the stadium is the boundary of the space which looked like a kaleidoscope of colors. It's a small artificial space owned by Athena and was lent after someone from them asked for permission to use it.

On the audience's stand is the Four Houses' subordinates with their current leaders except for the Clan Head.

The House of Harpe has around 150 people and at the center of them is an old dignified man standing at 6 feet tall holding a greatsword in front of him. He's still fuming after the fact that his son failed to kill the monster on top of revealing their House's secret weapon against it.

On the side of the House of Flight, there are only around 80 people which is only more than half of the rivaling House. Same as the first one, the current leader is standing in the middle of them. She's a middle-aged lady wearing a black nightgown and a black fan held over her face. She's Theodore's mother, but instead of watching the movements of the seemingly strongest force, her attention is on the House of Shield where Elexa came from. There are surprisingly only two people present from them. One of them is a girl of the same age as Elexa and is currently wearing a worried look for her master. She has blonde hair and currently wearing a full plate armor covering most of her body. On her side is a short sword and attached on her left arm is a small shield.

The other one is a tall figure covered in a black cloak. Just from his aura, he looks mediocre but Theodore's mother thinks otherwise as her instincts are screaming at her whenever she looks at him.

The House of Invisibility is the second House with the least member present numbering only 10 of them. All of them has a stupid look on their faces still wondering what they are doing there.

They all stayed quiet after and all waited. After the report of mummified members, no other news arrive which made them quite impatient.

Just as Dennis and his father started to lose their patience, a report came in loudly, "Medusa was spotted along with a Human man!"
