Chapter 74:The Remains of the Creature

The talk hadn't lasted much longer and now Adryan was back in the great hall where the party was taking place and he had a big smile on his face.

Coming to the party brought him enormous benefits, the least being the 550 pounds in his pocket and the most important being his new relationship with Dutch and Glaint.

Now if there was any material that was hard for him to get, he could go with them to get it for him and he only had to pay in knowledge of mysticism or formulas.

This had been the biggest benefit of what should have been a party for him.

He had left after telling them a way to contact him was to send a letter to the Elder in Bravehearts Bar.

He would have to talk to the man to help him with that.....

Leaving that aside, he had also told them the correct way to prepare the potion, lest they make a mistake and kill themselves for something stupid.

"Brat could you take that stupid smile off your face"

A familiar voice reached behind him and turning around, Adryan saw how Grievius still had a full plate of food and a sandwich in hand.

'Looks like he was hungry,' he thought the corners of his mouth twitching before he broke into a smile as he responded to Grievius.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Grievius, it's just that your mother came to the party and I had to go meet her,you know how much of a good time I had with her" Grievius choked on the sandwich again as he glared at the redhead.

Letting out a small laugh, the redhead approached Grievius and patted him on the back to help him swallow, then the two of them went to the food table where the redhead finally got to eat something.

Looking around the redhead could see how Isaac was chatting with his wife and Charles was serving his wife a plate of food, while Viktor was trying to flirt with a woman on the other side of the room and it seemed to be working because she was smiling and giggling.

'Who would believe it,the man did it' Adryan thought as he watched this with raised eyebrows and half-open mouth as he internally applauded Viktor.

This is how the party went on and after half an hour the music stopped and all the people were silent.

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,I am Dutch Willson from the Stanley club and I hope you are having a good time"

Dutch spoke in a loud and strong voice allowing everyone in the party to hear what he was saying.

Seeing that he had everyone's attention, a smile blossomed on Dutch's face who continued talking as he made a sign to his butler who nodded while sighing and left the room.

"It is a true honor to be able to bring together so many hunting clubs for this party, another of the reasons for holding it is to give a great notice to all those present"

At those words murmurs began to sound throughout the room.

Adryan who watched all this just shrugged as he ate a piece of vanilla cake that had been served.

While he ate a familiar smell reached his nose and with some cold sweat he looked where the smell came from and managed to see a familiar black-haired woman.

'That's Selena, what is she supposed to be doing here?

Is she a member of some club?' thought somewhat surprised Adryan while watching Selena who was looking at Dutch.

"I have been given the honor to advise that a large hunt will be held at the end of the year on one of the Stanley Club's private grounds and all clubs are invited to attend."

Loud applause rang through the room, and Dutch's smile grew as he watched his butler return with a more man, all pushing something covered in a white blanket.

"To honor the fact that this is the first time a party of this kind has been thrown, I have decided to present my latest acquisition for all to see."

At this Adryan turned to see where Charles was and could see how he seemed to be growling with his arms crossed while his wife tried to calm him down.

He heard a small laugh next to him and turning around he saw that Grievius was laughing at this as he drank some more wine.

Shaking his head, Adryan watched as a group of servants were moving a large cart that was covered with a large white sheet.

Adryan felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise slightly as his breathing became ragged.

"Brat what's wrong with you?" Grievius seeing how the redhead was reacting, he placed his glass on a table and approached Adryan's side while holding his arm.

Adryan's pupils were trembling, while he felt an enormous attraction towards whatever was under that sheet.

"Let me introduce you to something I decided to name after the stories written by Emperor Roselle..."

As he said that Dutch approached the sheet and reached out his hand, grabbed the sheet and pulled it out allowing everyone to see what the man had found.

"I present to you Medusa!!!"

A creature resembling a mixture of a woman and a snake with long thick hairs that was undoubtedly dead as only the upper part of the torso remained allowing one to see what was once a very sexy body but now one could see the ribs of this.

It seemed to be preserved in a kind of amber which allowed it to remain in very good condition.

A large group of people in the lower right corner coughed loudly drawing everyone's attention.

The people seemed to be with their heads red and somewhat swollen, their throats were very swollen making them unable to breathe and they fell to the ground clutching their necks.

Some used their nails to try to deflate their necks so they could breathe.

A blonde woman with green eyes was in the middle of them all with a small smile on her red lips.
