BRUK!"Argh!""Oh, my!" Riko exclaimed in shock as his fist hit Valerie's jaw, causing her to fall to the floor. She groaned in pain as she held his cheek."Are you okay?! I'm sorry!" Riko rushed to help Valerie stand up, but the girl immediately pushed Riko roughly so that he sat down."Don't touch me, Idiot!" Valerie snapped angrily."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to punch you. I thought you were that creature, so I intended to beat the creatures up." Riko explained it haltingly.Valerie immediately stood up and put her hands on her hips. "Can you be a bit sane, huh?! I'm sick of hearing your nonsense! If my father didn't care about you, I would have kicked you out of my house!" Valerie's screams of rage boomed through the house and invited the servants, Captain Calvin and Veronika, out of their room."What happened? Why are you guys fighting?" Captain Calvin asked in surprise."Riko punched me until my lips bleed, Dad!" Valerie complained to her father, hoping the man would kick Riko ou
Valerie treated the wound on his lip with a warm cloth at the dinner table."Does it still hurt?" Riko sat on the side.Valerie was surprised, then looked away from the young man. "Go away. I don't want to see your face.""I know you hate me even more now, but I have to take responsibility for hurting you. I'll take you to the hospital. Come on.""No! I'm not going with you.""But if your wound is not treated immediately, your lip can become infected." Riko persuaded with a worried look."I only ask one thing of you!" Valerie gave Riko a sharp look.Riko is horrified to see Valerie's expression, which seems to want to pounce on her. "What's that?""As long as you stay in my house, stop acting crazy!""What do you mean?""Don't you ever talk about that imaginary creature of yours!" Valerie made her words clear.Riko was silent. He was confused about what to answer while he lived in this house to catch that evil creature."Why don't you believe me? My parents died because of that creatu
Riko rushed out of the car and went to Calvin's office. "Uncle!"Everyone in the room immediately turned to Riko. The young man doesn't care if his attitude isn't polite.Calvin immediately stood up. "What is it?" He asked worriedly when Riko looked panicked."I want to ask about this." Riko shows the photo to Calvin.Calvin frowned in surprise. "Isn't that a picture of you from your childhood?""That's not the problem, Uncle! I want to ask, why is my photo in Professor William's desk drawer?" Riko asked, annoyed. He was sure Captain Calvin knew something.Captain Calvin tensed, but he refused to say anything. "Answer, Uncle!" Riko pressed in annoyance. He couldn't wait any longer. Everything that happened was getting more confusing."He asked for your picture because he knows you are an orphan. He loves you because he lost his wife and children."Riko stared into Uncle Calvin's eyes, trying to find his honesty. "I don't believe you! I beg you to answer me honestly!""Stop it, Ri
"UNCLE!" Riko screamed hysterically when Calvin disappeared from sight after being dragged into the darkness.iko swiftly cocked the weapon while observing the surroundings. The room was so dark you could barely see anything. Only the moonlight filtered through the cracks in the windows that lit up the room."Where are you, Monster?! Get out of here! Fight me! Bring back my uncle!" Riko shouted loudly, trying to fight the fear surging in his heart.However, Riko only heard animal hisses that filled the room. He didn't know where the sound was coming from."Get out, Loser!" Riko pointed the gun with trembling hands. His head was spinning from too much fear. Now no one with him can help him later."You have to come with me, Riko. I won't hurt you." The voice filled the room again.Riko was surprised when the sound echoed through the room. He also increased his surveillance of the surrounding area to anticipate all kinds of attacks from all angles.Fear took hold of Riko's heart. The you
After giving a statement to an investigator, Riko asked, "Can I meet someone who might know about this creature?"Richard looked at Riko, confused. "Who's he?""He's Jorah, the antique dealer in the corner of town.""Alright. I'll bring him here.""Let me just go to his house.""That's impossible. I won't let you escape.""I'm not going to run away. If necessary, I'll be escorted by a few policemen."Richard thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Okay."Richard called Rudolf and ordered him to take Riko to Jorah's house.Rudolf nodded obediently, then led handcuffed Riko towards the car. Riko sat in the middle of two heavily armed police while Rudolf drove."That incident drove me crazy!" Rudolf swore. "How can Valerie also believe in that ridiculous creature?""That creature is real, Sir.""All of this is because of you, Riko! Because you live at Valerie and Captain Calvin's house, your crazy behavior rubs off on them," Richard sneered."I'm not crazy!" Riko snapped angrily
"Riko." "Rudolf! You've finally come!" Riko smiled happily. "You must get me out of this prison because Valerie is in danger!" "What do you mean? Valerie is fine and on her way to Mr. William's house." "What?! Why didn't you stop him!?" "Why would I do that? Besides, I couldn't possibly prevent a daughter from Captain Calvin.""Shit! Why are you so stupid?! That creature is so strong, Valerie and all the cops who came with her will die!" "Valerie will not die because many elite police are following her!" "That's impossible! That creature doesn't work with bullets! So there's no way they can beat it!" Riko insisted. "Get me out of here! I'll keep Valerie from disappearing like Uncle Calvin!" "I can't because I'm not going to disobey Valerie." "So you want Valerie to disappear too, like Captain Calvin?!" Riko is furious. Rudolf was stunned. He seemed to have been slapped by Riko's words. Finally, the man let out a heavy sigh. "Fine. I have no other choice." He immediately opene
'Shit! What should I choose?!' Riko was worried. He wants to save Uncle Calvin, Professor William, and his cousin, but he also hesitates to follow the evil demon. It could be that the creature tried to trap him without bringing them back. "Five!" "Wait—" DOR! DOR! DOR! The sound of a gunshot boomed through the room. Rudolf shot the spider brutally. "Die you, Monster!" "Uncle! Stop—" BRAK! The creature spewed the web out of its mouth, entangled Rudolf, and threw him out the window. "Uncle!" Riko screamed hysterically. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. One by one, the people close to him died. "How about it, Riko? Are you coming with me?" The spider man smiled. "Bastard!" Riko is furious because the creature doesn't feel remorse after hurting Rudolf. "Actually, what do you want? Why are you hurting the people around me!" "I didn't mean to hurt them." "Nonsense!" "Am I wrong for trying to protect myself from people who want to kill me? Like that cop did!" The m
"What must I do to make you trust me, Riko?!" Robert said curtly to his only son."Give back Captain Calvin and Valerie to me!" Riko did not respond to Robert's chatter."If I return them, will you believe that I am your father?" Robert asked hopefully.Riko was silent for a moment. An idea flashed in his mind. "I dunno. But if you do it, then I'd consider trusting you." He is forced to lie in order to save Calvin and Valerie.Robert chuckled. "You can't lie to me easily. The look in your eyes is like saying that you want to trick me."Riko was surprised. The man seemed to be able to read his mind. "I'm not lying," he argued nervously."I'm not a stupid creature like Arthur." Robert transforms into a normal human. His face is handsome and dashing with long hair and white robes. His head is decorated with a beautiful crown.The man looked like a king.Riko widened in disbelief at Robert's change. "Wh-who are you exactly?"'I must be dreaming! Or, could it be that I'm crazy to be halluc
