Wolf In The CageChapter 12

“Really? Mr. Cage called for me. As proof, he even gave me this key.”

She twirled the key around her finger. If that was the key to this house, it explained how she could enter as she pleased. However, Sixx was shocked. Who on earth was she that Malon gave her the key and invited her into the house? He couldn’t say anything and just shook his head. She looked at Sixx, who seemed bewildered, as if he were adorable. Innocent kid. She wondered if he had teased him too much, but since she loved joking around, she whispered to the boy’s ear, stooping down. xv9X3

“Don’t be too disappointed. Mistakes happen to everyone, you know.”

“Still…”

“We’ve met like this for a reason, so I’ll show you something interesting. Come to the room at the end of this corridor when it’s midnight. It’s easy to find because it has a golden doorknob.”

“Why, why…?” guerjV

“You’ll find out when you come. Sweetie, do you admire Mr. Cage? If you do, you’ll surely like it. Since it’s our little secret, make sure not to tell anyone and come secretly, okay?”

Before Sixx could answer, she waved her hand and left. It sounded suspiciously intriguing. Since he couldn’t judge whether it was safe to see what she wanted to show him, Sixx pondered all the way until midnight. Even while watering the plants, having dinner, and cleaning, his mind was occupied solely by that thought. Due to her request to keep it a secret, he couldn’t confide in Cynthia or Madam Isabella. Ignoring the words of a stranger would have been enough, but since it involved Malon, he was curious. Honestly, he felt like he would die of curiosity. He even thought about giving up, but even after skipping time, he couldn’t fall asleep. Sitting with his knees hugged, Sixx struggled with conflicting thoughts. Then, the sound of bells came through the window. Dong, dong, dong… The bell struck exactly twelve times. Finally, it was midnight. Now he had to make a decision. And in the end, perhaps unsurprisingly, curiosity won. Although he had many differences from ordinary children, Sixx became fatally weak in the face of curiosity.

He bit his lip and stood up. He’ll just take a quick look. If she lied or if something seemed suspicious, he would quickly return to the bedroom. With that determination, Sixx, wearing soft slippers, went out into the corridor. The second floor, where he and the other servants resided, was as quiet as a mouse. Most of them would already be in dreamland, as they had to wake up early in the morning. Sixx walked without making a sound. Descending the stairs, he headed towards the room at the end of the corridor with the golden doorknob, just as she had said.

The downstairs was also dominated by silence. However, as he approached his destination, he began to hear some noise gradually. The sound came from the end of the corridor. Sixx swallowed hard. She had told the truth. Surely something was waiting for Sixx in that room. As he got closer, the sound grew louder.

“Oh, Mr. Cage…! Ah, yes…!”

Sixx stood still in his place. Though the tone was completely different from before, he could recognize the voice of that woman. Sixx felt his breath become rough. The door, just a few steps away, for some reason, wasn’t completely closed. Through the crack in the slightly ajar door, a faint orange light leaked out. Even though he knew it was a scene he shouldn’t see, Sixx slowly approached and peeked through the gap. He wasn’t foolish. He knew what was happening there, knowing about the existence of the crater, he couldn’t not know what was happening there. The woman and Malon were having sex. He wasn’t particularly interested in sex itself. While he knew that sex was an act that captured the interest of many, Sixx felt particularly awkward about it. Maybe it was because he almost had his first experience in a rowdy way, or maybe it was because he was still young. Even though he had plenty of opportunities to sneak a peek at other people’s sex lives when he stayed with the circus, he had never actually engaged in it himself. He didn’t feel the need to do so. However, now Sixx’s eyes were drawn to the gap as if sucked in. There was one reason for it. It was Malon. The woman was right. He wasn’t interested in sex, but if it was Malon’s sex, it was worth watching. He wanted to know more about Malon. Especially if it was a side of Malon that others didn’t know about. Generally, sex is considered a private act. So, what Sixx was witnessing now was probably one of the many private sides of Malon that only a few people monopolized…

It seemed to be Malon’s bedroom, probably. Malon was standing at the edge of the bed, and the woman was lying in front of him. Every time Malon moved his waist, screams burst from her mouth, and the sound of flesh hitting against each other rang out. His movements were quite rough, but she didn’t seem to mind it… No, she seemed to enjoy it. However, since Sixx’s gaze only briefly touched her, he couldn’t grasp more than that. His gaze was glued to Malon and didn’t seem to want to move away. Gradually, the heat began to circulate in his breath. Malon, who was so disheveled, was not in Sixx’s memory. Perhaps it was because he was too busy protecting Malon at the time of the attack that he didn’t have time to observe him. But now there was enough time. At least until he got caught, there was time. Sixx slowly scanned Malon, who was absorbed in sex, from head to toe. His usually neat black hair was all messed up, and he was wearing only a suit pants. His sweaty upper body reflected the dim crimson light, twitching strangely. Every time Malon leaned forward, his forehead narrowed sharply, and his eye area trembled slightly. His reddened neck and earlobes were like ripe apricots, and Sixx felt an impulse to bite them hard until the juice burst out. Then he was surprised that he had such a thought. Shivering with a strange sense of guilt, he clenched his fists tightly. Everything that made up that scene was too much of a stimulation for Sixx. He felt as if his body and mind had been taken away by something. He swallowed hard. He had never experienced such sensations in his life. Something deep inside him was itching like crazy. Sixx had a gut feeling. He didn’t know what it was, but if he kept watching this, he felt like he would never be able to go back to how he was before.

Stop watching. Go back to the bedroom right now! His guilty conscience shouted. However, his body didn’t move. It felt as if someone had pinned Sixx to that spot. As Malon’s movements quickened, the woman screamed faintly. It looked like Malon’s long fingers were digging into her side flesh. Both their breaths, as well as Sixx’s, became labored. Sixx didn’t even realize that his lips were torn by his sharp teeth. The woman groaned like an animal, and Malon furrowed his brows. A short sigh escaped through his tightly closed lips. After the woman collapsed first, after a few minutes, Malon also exhaled. It seemed like it was finally over. Gradually, the tension in Sixx’s body began to dissipate. However, the excitement that enveloped his whole body didn’t easily subside. His knees trembled, and his fingertips shook. Sixx realized that his body was malfunctioning, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong with it. Instead, his body, shocked by the excessive stimulation, began to hiccup. j532fk

Hiccup!

Gasp! He hurriedly covered his mouth, but the water had already spilled. Malon sighed.

“Did you invite him? Geez, you have some strange hobbies.”

“Why? It’s cute, isn’t it? And he’s not that young anymore. He’s at an age where he knows everything.” 7C3MBq

“Sigh… I can’t just ignore it. Tsk, I pretended to be uninterested on purpose, you know, that.”

The woman just hummed a little tune and didn’t respond to his inquiries. Malon walked away somewhere. Click. The sound of a lighter igniting was heard. He came back with a cigarette between his lips and slumped down on the sofa near the bed. Sitting cross-legged, he exhaled smoke, a sight very familiar to Sixx.

“I tried to pretend I didn’t know, but since he watched it all the way, I should charge an admission fee.”

Malon’s gaze went through the open door. More precisely, to Sixx, who was crouching desperately, trying to cover his mouth. He was so frightened that tiny teardrops hung in the corners of his eyes. Gasp. He took a shallow breath. When did he find out? sJ1NIy

“Huh? What are you going to do, Sixx? Come in here and let’s talk.”

His lips pronounced Sixx’s name exactly. Now he couldn’t escape, nor could he pretend it never happened. It was Sixx’s foolish greed that got him into this. He should have gone back to the room sooner. No, he should have ignored the woman’s words. Malon called him. With trembling legs, he reluctantly stood up and staggered inside. In the hot air, there was a mixture of human flesh smell, sweat smell, and a pungent and unique smell. And the overpowering smell of harsh tobacco that could erase all of those…

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Ah, sorry. But, after being with Mr. Cage, I lose my spirit. I have an audition tomorrow.

The woman looked at Sixx’s face, which was covered in shock and excitement, and chuckled, saying she needed to take a shower, and then disappeared into the bathroom. Left alone with Malon, Sixx wandered aimlessly, not knowing what to do. xzBHKY

“Come here.”

Malon flicked his finger. It would have been nice if he could have disobeyed the command just for today, but Malon wouldn’t consider Sixx’s circumstances. With a heart wanting to cry, Sixx approached him. He felt Malon’s gaze on him, but Sixx couldn’t bring himself to face him. If he looked into his eyes now, he might be reminded of the scene from earlier. In fact, it still vividly appeared whenever he closed his eyes. Malon laughed as he looked at Sixx, who was completely flushed up to his neck. Anyone would think he was teasing him.

“It was quite a spectacle, wasn’t it?”

“Ah, no, it’s not like that…!” 4BDXJv

“Oh, are you implying that my sex was mediocre?”

“No, absolutely not, it’s just that… uh…”

Unable to say whether the sight was pleasing or not, Sixx was at a loss for words. Then he realized that Malon was laughing at him.

“Why do you keep avoiding eye contact? If you didn’t like it that much, you should have run away sooner. If you had, maybe I could have pretended not to see. As you can see, the woman went in because of you. How are you going to compensate?” WFSqo9

“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to disturb…” ojycsP

“Well, it seemed like she was even more excited by the presence of an audience. So it wasn’t really a disturbance, was it?”

Sixx’s cheeks turned an even deeper shade. It seemed that there were various tastes in the world that Sixx didn’t know about. Seeing Sixx lost for words, Malon chuckled. Teasing this immature boy had become one of Malon’s few pleasures lately. His subordinates would be shocked if they saw it, but Malon didn’t mind. There wasn’t anyone as tough as Sixx to casually tease in front of him.

“So, why did you watch until the end? You always cry even if I just touch your finger. Watching isn’t a problem, is it? Well, maybe it’s different for women. They’re probably better than men.”

“No, no, it’s not because I dislike it, it’s just that…” wJvoWR

“Ah, so it’s okay for you to ‘watch’ what I do? You’re picky.”

Having made his judgment, Malon brushed back the hair that had fallen down with vigorous movements and leaned his head back against the sofa. The protruding Adam’s apple moved slightly up and down, catching Sixx’s attention. Perhaps a sound similar to the sigh Malon made just before sex came from there… No, it was slightly different. That sound clearly came from a deeper place. Just as when Sixx turned into a wolf and a howl bubbled up from deep inside his stomach when hunting for prey, Malon also made a similar sound during the process of relieving his desires. Sixx swallowed involuntarily. The itching sensation still hadn’t subsided. He tried to calm his excitement by aimlessly scratching his bare arm. He felt the need to cover Malon’s upper body, which was completely exposed without even a single sleeve. Even the white cigarette smoke emanating from his mouth seemed different today. As the cigarette was almost burnt out, Malon opened his mouth again.

“How old are you again?”

“I’m twelve. I’ll be thirteen next month.” JTRSVZ

“You’re still young… but then it depends on you.”

He slowly lifted his head and blatantly looked up and down Sixx’s groin area. Sixx was so surprised by what came out of his mouth that he almost nodded off.

“Wanna try sex? If you want, I can arrange it for you. Judging by your reaction, you didn’t seem to dislike that woman. You said you didn’t want it from a man, but maybe it’s okay with a woman? They say turning a bad experience into a good one washes away the bad memories, so maybe it’s possible to overwrite your memories.”

Sixx suspected it might be a joke, but Malon’s expression was deadly serious. That act Malon just did, implying I did that with the woman earlier? It’s absurd. He could never do such a thing. Ep7 sF

“Enough contemplation. It’s up to you, Sixx. I won’t force you. Relax your expression.”

“Yes…”

“Tsk, I won’t ask it of you, come here.”

Sixx approached closer. As Malon’s large hand touched Sixx’s head, a sudden sense of calm washed over him. Though looking bewildered, he didn’t remove his hand from Sixx’s head. TbvFyI

“Sixx, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to. Sex should be when you want it. The fee…”

He grabbed Sixx’s soft cheek. Like marshmallow, it stretched as he pulled.

“Let’s think about it slowly. Today, let’s leave it at that.”

“Uh…” JTS6My

A muffled response came out due to the pinched cheek. Malon let go of him, patting his buttocks. Feeling embarrassed, Sixx hurriedly nodded and bolted out of the room.

Back in his room, Sixx immediately lay on the bed. He closed his eyes to sleep, but sleep just wouldn’t come. His restless body refused to settle into slumber. Sixx pressed his cool cheek against the cold pillow. Images of flesh kept swirling in his mind. It wasn’t his first time seeing a sex scene. Living in the barracks with other members, he had been woken up several times by loud noises. He would just cover his ears with a pillow and sleep. But this might be the first time he focused on sex like this. So why was his heart pounding? He kept thinking of Malon’s hands touching the woman’s body, and his lustful eyes. The scent and the heavy breathing he sensed through his heightened senses still lingered in Sixx’s mind. Oh, why did he feel so thirsty all of a sudden? The more he tried to ignore it, the more it itched like bugs crawling all over him. But he couldn’t stop. Sixx wrapped himself tightly in the blanket. It’s torturous. Why is this so agonizing…

It took several hours of tossing and turning before Sixx finally fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, the sun was high in the sky. He quickly washed and went down to the kitchen. Isabella looked at him strangely, asking why he was oversleeping. Though he knew the answer, Sixx couldn’t bring himself to confess, so he awkwardly laughed it off. Just a moment of stillness and last night’s scene unfolded before his eyes, keeping him busy all day. When Isabella saw Sixx returning, exhausted from work, she raised her eyebrows, but thankfully didn’t press him for an explanation.

*** 9o5ypW

It’s a dream. Otherwise, it’s an impossible sight. Malon, shirtless, stood before Sixx. His hair was messy, and his cheeks were as red as the dahlias blooming in the garden. But that’s not all. He seemed to be prepared for Sixx. His sharp eyes, always piercing through Sixx’s soul, were now blurry, obscured by mist. His lips, usually spewing teasing remarks at Sixx, remained silent. Thanks to that, Sixx could comfortably observe him. His body was that of a full-grown man. Broad shoulders, firm chest, and thick arms were entirely different from Sixx’s, arousing great interest. Slowly, Sixx reached out his hand and traced Malon’s neck. Whether it was wet with blood or sweat, it was moist and slippery. His fingers passed through the well-defined collarbone towards the center of his chest. Beneath it lay Malon’s heart. The heartbeat transmitted through his fingertips. Thump, thump. The sound was no different from Sixx’s. As his pulse resonated with Sixx’s, it created a profound resonance. That wave gradually grew within Sixx’s body, reawakening the tingling sensation that had tormented him last night. Though he wanted to coolly scratch with his nails, the source was too deep to reach. Sixx didn’t know what to do and writhed in discomfort. His hand had melted away, merging with Malon’s chest. Now it was unavoidable. The heartbeat grew louder and louder. The blood vessels throughout his body seemed to burst. Burning, throbbing, itching unbearably, Sixx…

“Sixx, wake up.”

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

“Ugh, mm…”

“Sixx.” oKVCHT

At the voice calling him, Sixx opened his eyes. The room is still dark. The moonlight streaming in from the window outside is tinting the air white. The man sitting on the bed, illuminated by the moonlight, shakes Sixx.

“Sixx, I have something to discuss, wake up for a moment.”

At the man’s words, Sixx suddenly felt more awake.

“Malon…?” NRIzs1

“It’s past midnight. Sorry for waking you up, you were probably just falling asleep. Were you having an interesting dream?”

He chuckles. Dream? In an instant, the man standing partially undressed in his mind passes through Sixx’s thoughts. He feels his face burning and covers his cheeks with his palm.

Why of all times did he have such a dream…! Surely he didn’t say anything strange in his sleep?

Sixx sneaked a glance at Malon, but there was nothing he could read from his nonchalant expression. sklLpb

“It felt like someone was calling…”

“Me, perhaps…?”

“Well, everyone deserves their privacy, so I won’t ask what kind of dream you had.”

Thankfully. Rather than spilling out the contents of the dream he just had, he’d rather disappear from this world. Malon explained that he woke him up intentionally because he had something to discuss. jBfL0p

“What is it?”

Considering he was woken up in the middle of the night, it seemed like something really important. Sixx nodded seriously. However, at the words that came out of Malon’s mouth, Sixx couldn’t help but make a surprised sound.

“I thought about what fee to charge.”

“…” ePCz7b

“Oh, don’t worry, I don’t expect anything grand from a mere twelve-year-old like you.”

“What, what do you mean…?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Even though he was told not to worry, this was the first time Malon had demanded something from Sixx. He was always the one receiving from Malon. He couldn’t grasp what Malon could possibly offer him.

“Are you busy tomorrow?” eJiXuq

“No. Not really…”

Usually, it was Isabella who decided on his tasks for the day, but she wasn’t the type to refuse if Sixx asked for a day off. Malon seemed satisfied with Sixx’s answer, his lips curling up slightly on one side.

“That’s good. I have somewhere to go tomorrow. My cousin’s wedding banquet is tomorrow, and I’d like you to come with me.”

“What? Wait, what is…” wEe6FY

It was perplexing. Of course, he was willing to listen to Malon’s request, but suddenly having to attend a wedding banquet? And it’s Malon’s cousin’s wedding banquet? He couldn’t tell if he was allowed to go to such an important event. Without responding to that, Malon pressed his index finger against Sixx’s forehead and gently pushed him back onto the bed.

“I’ll wake you up at ten, so go back to sleep. I’ll be seeing your face all day today, Sixx. It’ll be fun.”

With that, he left. A moment later, realizing the meaning behind it, Sixx kicked the blanket wildly and let out a silent scream. He fell asleep again only after the embarrassment subsided a bit.

*** HRuC8A

It was Patrick who woke Sixx up by shaking him. Though he was a bit disappointed it wasn’t Malon, he thought it might be fortunate in case of an accident. He came to style Sixx’s hair, gave him clothes that fit him well, and put on his hat, smiling widely if his creation suited him. However, Sixx, seeing himself in the mirror, doubted if such clothes suited him. He looked awkward, as if wearing someone else’s skin. Although Cynthia said it looked good on him, he found it hard to agree. As he was hesitating, Patrick came to take him. Malon was waiting at the entrance. When he saw Sixx, who was dressed even more elegantly than usual, he smirked. It’d be nice if he wasn’t mocking him… A car was waiting for them outside. Sixx sat next to Malon. Patrick and another one of Malon’s subordinates were in the front. Finally, the car started moving. Malon glanced briefly at the fidgeting Sixx and threw out a word.

“Not bad.”

“Uh, th-thank you—”

“But, try to act more confidently. You’ll have to work once you’re there.” 84Qmq3

“Work?”

“Well, nothing grand. Today’s party is being held in the gardens of the Pellegrino Mansion. Arrogant guests will gather there to celebrate my cousin’s wedding. Not only those who want to impress the Pellegrino family but also our father, who considers my cousin’s wedding banquet more important than anything in the world, would have exerted his influence. Isn’t that right, Patrick?”

“Hawk, even though he has ears, he doesn’t seem to listen—”

“He’s putting in so much effort, to the point of ordering me to attend the wedding banquet of a cousin who has not a drop of blood mixed with his own. But truth be told, I don’t really want to go. Just thinking about seeing nothing but faces that make me nauseous makes me wonder what to do. So, I decided to take you, Sixx.” 91D8nc

“Me?”

“Maybe seeing your cute face will make me less annoyed.”

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

“But—”

If it’s such an occasion, shouldn’t I not be taken along? Sixx recalled Luca Pellegrino’s verbal abuse directed at him. He couldn’t fully understand everything he said, but he could at least sense that there were unfavorable discussions about Malon within the organization because of Sixx. It might not be his place to interfere, but he didn’t know if showing up next to him in such an important place would cause his reputation to plummet within the organization. And that wasn’t what Sixx wanted. yFCEDn

“Don’t worry. Patrick nagged me too, so I’ve made arrangements.”

“What arrangements?”

Malon gestured under Sixx’s feet. There was an envelope.

“What’s this?” OMfbP

“It’s an unnecessarily large-scale party. Since the mansion’s servants alone wouldn’t be enough to serve the guests, they must have hired external staff. If you mingle in properly and serve food, no one will know who you are. Your appearance seems quite convincing. Isn’t that right, Patrick?”

“Yes. I was quite surprised when I saw it earlier. When hosting such large-scale parties, it’s common to decorate with children who have outstanding appearances like ornaments, so if Sixx behaves properly, he probably won’t get caught.”

Did Malon hear? He looked at Sixx with a questioning expression. In Sixx’s hand were a small bow tie and a black apron. It seemed like an instruction to disguise oneself as hired staff and sneak into the party. Even though he recently helped out at the mansion a bit, he didn’t feel confident at all. However, Malon gently reassured Sixx that it wouldn’t be difficult. Even if he just went through the motions or hid in the background, no one would notice him, given the many guests and servants. It was a logic that even if Sixx had to work or pretend to work, he’d retreat unnoticed.

“You were bored being cooped up in the mansion all the time, right? It’ll be thrilling and fun.” 79RdgM

It was true that he was bored, but he wasn’t sure if he could fulfill his role properly. However, the decision wasn’t Sixx’s to make. He nodded reluctantly. He had no choice.

“What worries me a little is Luca. He said he has some business and will attend late in the afternoon. However, we’ll clear out of the party venue before he arrives, so it’s fine.”

Ah, right. Luca Pellegrino. That man, who didn’t even try to hide his hatred towards Sixx, was supposed to be there too. He probably hadn’t forgotten the face of the person he had cornered to the brink. Even if he disguised himself as a waiter, if it was that man, he would probably recognize Sixx immediately. It was fortunate that he would arrive late.

“There shouldn’t be any real encounters….” v31xDO

“Well, you had an experience last time, so it’s natural to be worried. Even if you do meet him, I told him not to touch you last time, so he probably won’t do anything foolish.”

“Y-yes….”

“And you can probably hide before he notices you. You’re quick-witted and perceptive.”

Malon seemed to be overestimating Sixx. Or perhaps he hadn’t directly witnessed how much Luca disliked Sixx. Either way, judging by Malon’s words, it didn’t seem like there would be any major issues with Sixx’s safety. But those blue eyes filled with hatred were not easily forgotten. I hope we don’t meet if possible. 4lhpW7

The car drove for about an hour. Lost in the unfamiliar scenery outside, Sixx was startled awake by Patrick’s announcement, “Hawk, we’ve arrived.” Through the car window, he could see a huge gate and beyond it, an expansive garden stretched out. Colorful decorations and ribbons hung everywhere, announcing that a grand party would soon take place here. Whether the guests had arrived yet or not, the sound of people’s voices could be heard through the lively music of the band. Malon ordered to park the car a few meters away from the main gate. He grabbed Sixx’s shoulder and gave him a brief piece of advice.

“Just act natural. I have people to meet, so I won’t pay much attention, but….”

He smiled gently. Sixx was surprised. It was the first time he had seen him smile like that.

“Can you do it, Sixx?” How could he possibly refuse with that smile in front of him? Sixx nodded vigorously. Even if it were an order to jump off a cliff, he would obediently comply without hesitation. Malon, as always, patted Sixx’s head. “I knew you could, you’re such a good kid.” qSiAxE

Malon opened the door and left first. He instructed Sixx to slip into the party venue after about a minute. Sixx watched from afar as Malon joined the party. He was popular. All eyes were instantly drawn to him upon his arrival. Indeed, there were quite a few people approaching him. They seemed eager to exchange a word with Malon Cage, as if they were restless. From gentlemen offering champagne glasses and jokes, to men spreading their arms wide like old friends, to women naturally linking arms with Malon… everyone seemed to be trying hard to catch Malon’s eye. And compared to them, someone like him… felt uncomfortable in an instant. Patrick thought Sixx’s expression wasn’t good due to nervousness, so he patted Sixx’s shoulder reassuringly, saying he could do it.

Fortunately, people were too busy watching Malon’s movements to notice the uninvited guests sneaking into the party venue. As Sixx eavesdropped, he heard people gossiping.

“That man is Antonio Cage’s eldest son! He has a good appearance and personality, but unfortunately, because of his lineage… Ah, that’s fate, but he’s so good at business that everyone’s trying to stick to him to get some benefit. Ultimately, when it comes to money, there’s no concern for bloodline or anything. Look at them sucking up. Oh, speaking of which, what if Antonio dies? He has a second son who’s been behind the scenes of the Pellegrino Family. He’s not someone to be taken lightly—”

“Hey, you!” dgIGSw

Sixx turned around in surprise. A man in a white shirt and bow tie, just like Sixx, was shouting at him with his arms crossed. Sixx hurriedly approached him.

“Yes, sir! Did you call me?”

“People are flocking in right now, and you’re loafing around? Hurry up and go to the kitchen to get the food!”

The man shoved Sixx forward. Sixx didn’t know where the kitchen was, but fortunately, he was able to follow behind another waiter and reach his destination. A chef with a sunburnt skin was shouting like a whale at the waiters, saying they couldn’t move quickly enough. Sixx quickly grabbed a silver tray filled with delicious finger foods and hurriedly escaped the chaos. He scanned the party venue with the tray in hand, looking for Malon, but he couldn’t see him. Instead, other guests were taking the food. 5nIOBJ

“Oh, how cute,” someone giggled as they saw Sixx. The tray was soon empty. Before anyone else could shout at him, Sixx rushed back to the kitchen. This time, he was handed a tray with glasses of wine. As Sixx moved around, white wine swirled inside the transparent glasses, creating waves of bubbles. Still, there was no sign of Malon’s shadow. Sixx knew Malon was a busy person, but then why did he bring him here? Sixx grumbled inwardly.

  1. I was having such a crappy day. Seeing that new chapters were updated instantly made it better. I couldn’t wait to read them!
