The Woman Ruler of the Altan Clan

Chapter 107 the Erebos Clan

The masked man looked at him. Awaiting answer. The atmosphere around them was still gripping. No one dared to make the slightest move. Even Chinua kept silent. Shanum continued to think hard. He had not been able to find a solution to the exchange requested by the masked man.

Don't do it, Shasha.

Shanum heard Khan's remark echoing in their bond.

I can't sacrifice my best friends, Adri. Wouldn't if I followed that man, I could become a spy who infiltrated their group?

Is that the solution you're thinking about right now, Shasha?

Yes, Adri.

But it's a dangerous thing for you to do, honey. I don't want anything to happen to you.

I'm not gonna be anything. You just have to trust me. There I'll give you information about their hideout, Adri. You can gather people with high magic power who can follow you to destroy this group, as well as free me. If my plan fails, I will find a way to escape them.

It's still full of risk. I won't be able to think about what's going to happen to you.

But there is no other solution. Hows it? Do you agree with my plan, Adri?

Shanum heard Khan's loud growl in his head. She knew her husband must be tormented with anger.

To be honest I'm not willing and calm to see you under their grip, honey. You might not have managed to get away from them. And we just got married. I had to be separated from you. That guy really makes me sick. I'd love to finish him off right now, if there weren't two of your best friends as hostages.

"How, Sweetheart? You have to decide right now. Do not stall for more time, because it will be useless. There are only two options, either you come with me or these two die" the masked man urged, cutting off the conversation between Shanum and Khan.

Argh...

Brash man. I'd love to smash his sassy mouth.

Shanum heard angry words again from Khan in their bondage.

Shanum gave a loud sigh. His head was getting dizzy from various directions. He was in a dead end this time.

Shanum looked towards the masked man in annoyance. "Alright, I'm coming with you," Shanum replied in a snapping tone.

"But on one condition" Shanum added.

"No more negotiations, beautiful. I told you just now. There are only two options."

"If you don't want to, I'm not willing to come with you either" Shanum challenged with a fierce expression. He grabbed the sword in Khan's hand.

The masked man tightened his jaw. "You want to bully me as it turns out. Okay." Okay." The man approached Farah, then he brought another knife from his pocket and began rubbing it on Farah's cheek. A dense darkness moved around the masked man's aura.

Farah closed her eyes, took a quick breath, her lips trembled, but tried to hide the fear that began to touch her.

Shanum took a quick breath, his eyes full of shock and hatred, staring at the masked man.

"Don't mind me, Sha." His attention moved between the dagger and Shanum's face. "Please," said Farah in a choked voice.

Shanum's hand holding the sword trembled, he grasped it tighter. He shook his head towards Farah, Shanum's dark eyes dimming, as if the resignation had already begun to dominate his decision.

The masked man smiled widely with a wild and carefree victory. Injure the weakest person and be loved by Shanum, then force the woman to follow her wishes. It was brilliant and heinous, and he knew it well.

"You still want to negotiate with me?" The masked man laughed.

"Shoppers! You..you...!" Shanum cursed the man furiously.

"Do it." Khan spoke calmly.

"Attria!" Shanum snapped at the man.

Khan did not criticize Shanum. The man's face coldly froze, his gaze fixated on the masked man.

"I want to see how far you've gone, Coward," Khan said.

"Ah. You think I'm just bluffing, the Great. Okay..." Then the man scratched his dagger deep enough on Farah's cheek skin. It made the girl gasp, and her mouth closed in pain. Tears began to drip from both corners of his eyes. But Farah did not make the slightest sound. The girl was very brave and accepted.

Shanum wanted to collapse to his knees to apologize to Farah, to say that he was sorry. He wanted to shout those words, but now there was a kind of crack opening inside him that he could barely feel his heart being torn apart. What her husband did... He provoked the bad guy.

Shanum's expression looked guilty and sadness lingered in his eyes, he staggered away from Khan. Shanum was very disappointed in her husband. If he didn't give that challenge, Farah wouldn't have been hurt.

The masked man looked at Shanum increasingly. "Do I need to hurt her again, so you can decide, Beautiful? Or does this time need a beautiful neck that I scratched to make it look even more amazing?" A truly crazy, horrible speech came from the man's mouth.

And a satisfied look reflected from the black netra of his eyes, upon seeing the horror and gloom emanated from Shanum's gaze. The man began to move his knife to Farah's still smooth neck. On the other hand the sword that had been there, lowered down, no longer threatened Farah's neck.

The people who were there began to fret, many whispers and cries. Including Diva, Shanum saw his best friend crying when he saw the scene.

"What if you just take me?" Shanum heard Chinua's voice break the tense atmosphere in that place.

The masked man frowned, then laughed loudly. He looked at Chinua coldly. "Unfortunately it's not you I want, Your Majesty."

"Stop! If you hurt her again, I won't come with you" Shanum cried impatiently. It seems like Shanum has already decided.

He approached the masked man. "You win. I'm going with you. Put the knife down."

Everything went awry, Shanum was shocked. He turned his head to look at his best friend who was floating in the air and was instantly captured by Osbert before hitting the ground. Osbert shouted Farah's name, shouting as if he cared.

Shanum squinted his eyes as his hand was grabbed by the masked man and locked him in the evil man's arms.

"You dirty cheater. You think my best friend is trash, play throw away" Shanum maki angrily said.

"I was intentionally. Wanting to distract your husband, so that I can take you in my arms" the masked man replied calmly.

Shanum bulging. If sight could kill, the man would have already finished with just Shanum's deadly gaze. The masked man smirked, then gently rubbed Shanum's hair, giving the girl goosebumps.

Damn that guy! He touched mine.

Shanum heard Khan's oath of expiation in their bondage. But he kept quiet, didn't touch her.

You have to fight that guy, Shasha...

Don't go with him.

Shanum snorted loudly before shutting his heart and mind off her husband. He was getting annoyed at the jealous words from Khan. At the same time he was also slightly intent on punishing the man for his provocative behavior earlier, so Farah got a scratch on her face.

If he could fight, no need to be told from earlier he killed this bad man. But his entire body was now locked tightly, even his muscles felt frozen. I don't know what spell that man gave him.

Shanum then looked at Chinua, and gestured through his eyes to heal Farah. The woman seems to understand. He nodded his head.

She turned to glance at Khan, and seeing her husband clenching his hands, his face froze. His net did not move, his gaze fixed on Shanum.

Shanum smiled smirkingly as he felt that someone was trying to bang on their bond. And she already knew for sure, the one doing that was her own husband could not have been anyone else.

"We have to go, Beautiful. But after my remaining group left." The masked man whistled long. Then he turned to Chinua. "Cancel the spell that closed the portal access," he ordered towards the woman.

Chinua exhaled, she half-heartedly nodded her head. Then start chanting the requested spell. And Shanum saw one by one the army of masked men disappear through the portal. The masked man noticed but did not stretch his arms from Shanum in the slightest. He ruled his group while embracing it.

Shanum grimaced, unable to withstand the pressure in his chest, as Khan began to send anger, torment and despair into their bondage. Shanum did block it, but somehow the man was still able to infuse all of those flavors onto him.

Shanum unblocked him, and he was invaded by a very powerful blow from the whole heart of Khan. If he had not been within the grasp of the masked man he might have already fallen to his knees by this time, feeling the shock after shock that ruled his soul.

Shanum could feel the immeasurable anger and pain flowing from Khan. Her husband was unwilling to see Shanum being hugged by another man, and the deep sadness had to put Shanum into endless danger, and the despair that he had no power to resist.

Shanum finally turned his gaze to Khan. He didn't say anything. He has no power to say a single word. All he could do right now was try to give warm waves through their bonds. Wish the man would take it off, and trust him.

Shanum could no longer hold any resentment towards Khan. Her disappointment faded with the impact of her husband's feelings and was conveyed to him.

"It's time." The masked man actually waited until the last of his troops disappeared from sight, only then did he blink his eyes, and Shanum's gaze began to fade. Before he lost his orientation to time and space, Shanum heard Khan's screams in their bondage.

I'm sorry, honey... Wait me.

The room began to crumble back. Shanum opened his eyes. And he felt that the embrace that was entangling him was already released. He stood in a spacious room filled with war supplies. His head feels a little dizzy. The masked man took her by teleporting. That evil man has that power.

Shanum stiffened as he felt the masked man standing behind him, smelling the darkness wrapped in the smell of grass after the rain, sharper than he had ever realized. Shanum just found out that he has the ability to smell someone.

"Now you're in my clan, beautiful."

Shanum heard a scraping sound, like the sound of a person removing a cloak. Then he heard the sound of an object placed on a hard plane. Shanum could not turn around to look at her, he could not.

Shanum was nervous. He's in the enemy's lair. And afraid to predict what will happen next in this place. He could hear the masked man holding his breath and as he exhaled. He heard the whispers and sobs and fervent celebrations of everyone in the hall, who was still watching Shanum with suspicious and hateful eyes.

"It's the only way for me to take you away from Khan Adrian. And don't you dare take out your power, whatever it is in this place, because I will definitely know. And it will hurt you because of it. So don't lure me to hurt you." The masked man said firmly.

"Including to contact Khan Adrian by telepathy or whatever it is that connects you. Because in this place I can definitely detect it," said the man again.

Shanum. Didn't expect the man to be able to read his wish. If this is the case, it is useless for him to follow the wishes of the man.

"Who are you?" growled Shanum. He was angry that getting his plan broken before it even started.

"Look at yourself" said the masked man. Shanum. There, on the table, lay a black mask staring at him with empty eye holes.

"Shanum Qamira's. I can finally have you" said the man. "How's my face? Is it as ugly as your accusation?" The man smiled seductively.

Shanum flinched in shock. His breath was choked, his mouth felt faint.

The man was still smiling, his whole face brightening up the calm excitement. The contours of her tall cheekbones and her beautiful straight nose, her slightly curved eyebrows framing eyes that were supposed to be black had now turned blue.

That angel-like face was of course very familiar in Shanum's eyes. What he had done so as to gain this moment, could stand here. Someone elsewhere was looking for and missing the man.

Shanum's still frozen. He was silent as the man grabbed his fingers and placed Shanum's hand on his chest, and the man's rapid heartbeat echoed into Shanum's bones. He was feeling his feelings at this moment. All the mixed feelings were in his heart and mind.

"You feel, I'm pounding feeling you're near me." The man smiled gently towards Shanum.

"My name is Avraam" said the man again. "And I am the leader of the Erebos Clan. A wasted clan."

Shanum widened his eyes. He swallowed his saliva. "So, your name isn't Sergei?"
