Chapter 205: A Talk With Mr. Slade.
His laugh echoed through the pit as if Kaito’s words were skind of joke. Mr. Slade tried to stand but his legs
gave out, the weight of the chains dragging him down until he collapsed again, the clinking sound filling the
silence.
"It sounds funny to you now, doesn't it?" Kaito asked, his brows lifting as he studied him. He had tried for more
than a week to get the man to talk but not a single useful word had slipped from his mouth.
"You are not expecting an answer from me, are you?" Mr. Slade muttered, his tired eyes fixed on the student
standing before him. "It has been weeks since you threwin this hell. The school authorities will find out
soon... they must have already started searching."
"What investigation?" Kaito asked, dragging a chair closer before sitting down with his legs crossed like he had
all the tin the world.
"Principal Valois should be investigating my disappearance by now. You were the last person | spoke to, so you
will be questioned and arrested."
"Wait... do you think | am a fool? Do you think | am a child?" Kaito’s voice sharpened with disbelief. "I am twenty
one, don't forget, the alpha of the largest pack. If | want something done, | make sure it is clean. Just so you
know, no one is looking for you."
"What do you mean by that?" Mr. Slade’s voice cracked with shock. He wanted to believe Kaito was only taunting
him. "I am a staff of this academy. If | disappear, they will look for me. | am sure of it."
Kaito gave a low chuckle as he leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees. He closed the distance between
them so the man could see how serious he was. "You vanished right after our last talk. The school news already
reported that Mr. Slade quit his job due to stress and walked away from the academy. Do you know what your
colleagues felt? Anger. They think you should have spoken to them if you had a problem. You said nothing, so
they let you go."
"But | never told anyone | was sick or stressed," Mr. Slade snapped, his voice trembling with anger.
"Yes, you didn’t. Maybe | dropped a few drugs in your office to make them believe you were unwell and needed
taway from the academy," Kaito said with a mischievous smile that sent cold shivers down his spine. He
knew the man was burning with rage and if given the chance, Mr. Slade would stab him again and again without
hesitation. "Trust me, no one is looking for you. Principal Valois is angry that you left without a letter because it
was unprofessional."

"You won't callthat," Kaito cut him off, pointing at him with his finger, his eyes glowing faintly. Mr. Slade
clenched his jaw and stopped, though his eyes showed he had words biting at his tongue. "Forget about them
finding you or worrying about your disappearance. No one gives a damn because you are nothing to them. Even
Dr. Dylan, the man you worked for, does not care that you are gone, so why are you still loyal? What are you
holding on to?"
Mr. Slade turned his face away, refusing to answer. "Maybe you should try playing the good cop because this bad
cop doesn’t suit you."
Kaito's lips twisted with a bitter chuckle, not because of the joke but because of the insult. "You think I'm playing
scop ghere?"
Mr. Slade nodded and even laughed. "Yes. | never thought Id find you funny one day, but here we are. Life is
silly."
"I'll show you what's funny." Kaito stood and walked to the table hidden in the shadows. He reached into a bag
and pulled out a small leather purse that held his tools. He had not wanted to use them on Mr. Slade, but things
were not going as he planned.
He placed the purse on the chair, and Mr. Slade’s eyes followed every move he made. Kaito pulled out a sharp
pair of scissors, the metal catching a faint glimmer of light. He smiled as he stared at it. "This one is my
favourite. Did you know that?"
"No... no, no," Mr. Slade stammered, pressing himself against the wall as much as the chains allowed. His body
trembled, and fear cracked through his voice. "I can’t afford that, not with my health condition."
"Do | look like | care?" Kaito asked, frowning as he bent and caught the man’s toes in his hand even while Mr.
Slade tried to jerk him away. Kaito did not answer the shouting. He brought the scissors close to the first toe,
watching the man’s face as if he were studying a book.
Mr. Slade’s voice broke into a frantic plea. "Wait, Kaito, please."
Kaito paused for a beat as the metal edge hovered, then closed the scissors and cut into the skin. Mr. Slade
screamed, a raw, terrible sound that shook the stone around them. The pain made his whole body flinch but
Kaito let him hang there, breathing the burn of it in.
Blood welled and ran over the toe but the cut was not deep enough to take it off. Kaito let go and the red pooled
on the floor. He leaned in, calm and cold. "If you do not tellthe truth in the next five minutes, you will not
have a foot to walk on," he said, voice flat and final.
Mr. Slade tried to reach down to hold the wound but the chains stopped him. Teeth clenched, muscles trembling,
he felt the world narrow to the pain and to the heavy press of fear in his chest. Tears leaked from the corner of
his eyes and mixed with the sweat on his skin as he rasped, "I will talk. | will tell you."

"Do you want to talk now?" Kaito asked, gentle for the first time, as if kindness might be another kind of knife.
"Who is Dr. Dylan?"
"He is my brother," Mr. Slade managed, voice thin and small. The nfelt like a stone falling.
Kaito blinked, surprised, but pushed that aside and asked what mattered. "Why is he after my mate?"
"For her blood," Mr. Slade whispered, each word a step toward the edge. "He wants her blood."
Kaito’s confusion cquick and raw. He could not wrap his head around the idea that anyone would want
Angela’s blood. "Why would he want her blood?" he said, anger and fear tangled in the question.
Mr. Slade’s eyes went wide with something like dread and something like defeat. He swallowed and said the
thing that made the room tilt. "Because of the prophecy. It says she has the blood of immortality. Anyone who
tastes it will live forever."
