Chapter 193 Take me as a fool?
The soft glow of lamplight casts a warm and cosy ambiance in Coulter\'s tastefully decorated living room. Plush furniture and intricate art pieces line the walls, creating an atmosphere of refined elegance. Coulter, the cop in his mid-forties with sharp features and an air of mystery, stood by the fireplace, staring into the moving flames.
Kayden entered the house with piercing eyes and a sense of unease, entering the room cautiously. He carries with him the weight of the message from Medusa, a secret organisation known only to a select few and run by Coulter.
Kayden\'s voice was confronting. "Coulter... You sent me a message through Medusa. What do you want from me?" Coulter turns slowly to face Kayden, his expression unreadable.
Coulter\'s tone on the other hand was serene. "Kayden, please, have a seat." Kayden hesitates but eventually takes a seat on a plush, dark leather chair. Coulter approaches and sits across from him, studying him with an intensity that makes Kayden squirm.
Coulter spoke sincerely. "I didn\'t contact you through Medusa lightly, Kayden. It\'s a matter of great importance, and it involves something only you can provide." Kayden nervously yet cautiously observes him. "I\'ve kept my distance from any affairs revolving around mysterious crimes. Why involve me now?"
Coulter leans forward, his gaze unwavering. His voice was earnestly. "Because you\'re the best one for this task, Kayden. You have skills and knowledge that no one else possesses. The world is on the brink of something unprecedented, something that could change everything we know. I believe that you hold the key to unlocking a critical piece of the puzzle."
Kayden became frustrated. "You\'re not being specific, Coulter. What puzzle? What are we talking about? What do you want from me?" Coulter pauses, his eyes locked on Kayden\'s, as if deciding how much to reveal.
Coulter confidentially discloses to him the news. "There\'s a classified project, one that\'s hidden in the shadows of governments and corporations. We believe a power source exists somewhere in the vampire realm, powerful enough to reshape the world. I want you to join the academy and tame your powers, I know you want answers which you can only find in the vampire realm."
"It is a win win situation for both of us." Kayden\'s eyes widen, realising the magnitude of what Coulter is asking. Kayden\'s whispering voice was barely anything terrified but surprised. "You want me to steal that source for you in exchange for permitting me access to the vampire realm. Don\'t you?"
Coulter nods slowly somberly. "Yes, Kayden. But not just for personal gain. For the greater good. To ensure that this powerful source doesn\'t fall into the wrong hands and bring chaos to the world. And only you can control such an immense source due to your hybrid status."
Kayden ponders this, his mind racing with the implications of his involvement. The weight of responsibility hangs heavy in the air. Kayden\'s resolve became firm. "Alright, Coulter. I\'ll help you, but only if you promise me one thing."
Coulter spoke while raising an eyebrow. "Name it. What do you want? Money? Technology? Some magical artefacts or what?"
Kayden firmly shook his head and spoke. "I want you to enrol both Lydia and Medusa with me in the academy. If you want me to handle this thing, then I want them both by my side. But I doubt you have such connections."
Coulter was smirking upon his words. "Before you proceed to question my sources, Kayden, there\'s something else I should mention. I have the means to help you get enrolled in the Academy."
Kayden raises an eyebrow, a mix of surprise and curiosity playing on his face. He lances at him uncertainty. "The Academy? That\'s one of the most prestigious institutions for operatives and intelligence experts. How can you possibly make that happen? You are just a cop."
Coulter was confident in his stance. "Let\'s just say I have connections. I can pull a few strings to ensure your acceptance, fast-track your application, and guarantee you all the best training available. All I ask in return is that you complete a little task for me."
Kayden grew skeptical knowing that it could not be it. "A "little task"? Coulter, you\'re being evasive again. What\'s the favour you want in exchange for helping me get into the Academy? I know things are not as simple as you are making them seem."
Coulter\'s gaze intensifies, locking onto Kayden\'s eyes. "Haha! You do not trust anyone. Do you? I know you are skeptical about things I am telling you but believe me , my only concern is with that power source and I want nothing more from you. No hidden agendas or lies."
"And why should I believe you? Among all, you? Do you take me for a fool or what?" Kayden grew angrier, acknowledging that he was using him for his own benefits. "You have practically hurt me in more than many way I can recall, and covered all my traces for some hidden reason. And you still want me to believe in you blindly for such a drastically risky mission?"
Coulter extends his hand, and Kayden shakes it, sealing their pact. Coulter was determined. "You have my word, Kayden. Believing or not is up to you. I will enrol you three in the academy with the best ever treatment and courses you can find. Rest assured, you will be taught all the kinds of needed magic and techniques to deal with the foreign races."
As Kayden glances at his hand and shakes it, the shadows in Coulter\'s living room seem to deepen, symbolising the secrets and challenges that lie ahead. However, Kayden knew things were not simple as Coulter was making them appear.
He was not someone one could trust for any possible thing. And Kayden was not a fool to fall for him when Coulter practically sent his innocent daughter to seduce him. He knew that making Lydia as his blood mate would bring Coulter to know more about his powers indirectly.
