Chapter 176 Nothing But A Chess Piece. "I hope you are proven innocent, Miss Edrea." The man muttered. A small smile appeared on Edrea's face as she nodded. "So can I take my leave now, sir?" "Ah yes, you can go." "Thank you, sir," Edrea nodded and then stood up. Then, she left the room, and the bulky man who was going to 'stay' with her followed behind her. 'This is going to be tough…' Edrea thought inwardly as she glanced at the man following her. She would be a fool if she couldn't understand why the man was now 'staying' with her. He was going to keep his eyes on her and prevent her from escaping. However, Edrea had to escape. Why? Because of the investigation. She has not killed Edda and her link with Marquee Alger won't see be proven either, therefore, if this incident was investigated, she would come out as innocent. However, that was only if THIS incident was investigated. But this wasn't the only thing she has done. She has killed many people before and some of them can directly be linked to her. So once her past is investigated, she will be executed. Her innocence in Edda's case won't matter. She cannot stop the investigation now, therefore, she can only do one thing now, And that is run away. She could only run away and hide for the rest of her life. 'Fuck! That bitch was really like a curse to my good life, wasn't she!?' Edrea blamed Edda in her head. 'And that Marquee! That Bastard still hasn't replied to my letter yet!' Then, she cursed Marquee Alger. She was cursing everyone who was responsible for this situation. Then, Edrea turned around and glanced at the man following her. The man may look like a muscle head; however, he was still a Master Stage Cultivator. It won't be that easy to fool him. 'I need time…' Edrea thought inwardly. She needed to know what type of man this man was, his hobbies, his likes and everything else. If she knows about all that, she could probably do something to fool him, however, 'I don't have time…' Yes, she did not have time. She needs to leave today. If not, then once the Security department finds out about her past, they would execute her for sure. 'Alright, I guess I would need to take the chance.' Edrea thought inwardly and took a deep breath. Then she walked forward and continued with her work. … Allura, who was just 'walking by' saw Edrea's tensed look and a smile appeared on her face. 'Acting like a spy who is on a mission, heh, this is really exciting…' Then, a look of pitiful expression appeared on her face as she glanced at Edrea's back. 'I really pity you woman… you are nothing but a chess piece now… Haahh… it's not like you deserve any pity, it is the consequence of your own actions.' Then, Allura shook her head and walked away. … In the night, Edrea and the bulky man entered Edrea's room. Edrea sighed, this man was following her all day long, she has not left her alone even for a second. This man was really serious about his work. Edrea then glanced at the bulky man and questioned with a small smile, "I'll go take a bath now; you aren't going to follow me inside, are you, Mason?" "You have 15 minutes, if you do not come outside in 15 minutes, I will enter the bathroom," Mason muttered. "Oh? Wait… are you… Are you signalling me to stay inside the bathroom for more than 15 minutes?" Edrea questioned with a slight smile. Suddenly, the man's face turned a little red. Edrea quickly noticed that change and soon, she laughed. "Hahaha~ I was just joking, don't worry, I will come out before 15 minutes." "G-Good." Mason nodded. Then, Edrea turned around and entered the bathroom. … 10 minutes later, Edrea walked out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel that covered her from her breasts to her knees. Her black hairs were still wet and seeing her walking out of the bathroom, Mason's face turned hot. No matter how her character was, Edrea was a beauty. Her black hair and brown eyes may be common, but her seductive body was anything but common. She had a great, curvy body and a perfect hourglass-like figure; she was an alluring woman indeed. "Do you like what you see, Mason?" Edrea questioned with a small smile on his face. "H-Huh?" Mason came out of his reverie when he heard Edrea's voice. Edrea smiled even more, she then walked towards Mason and once she was close enough, she repeated her question. "Do you like you see, Mason?" "Y-You are pretty indeed…" Mason tried to act calm but failed when Edrea's soap's scent assaulted his nose. She smelled too good. It was turning him on. "Haha~ Thank you for the compliment~" Edrea laughed. Then, she made another bold move as she brought her hands around his neck and questioned in a very gentle tone. "How pretty do you think I am?" As if hypnotized by her charm, Mason grabbed her thin waist and answered, "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire life." Edrea's smile widened, her right hand then trailed down and soon, Edrea started touching Mason's little brother. Mason didn't just stand there either, he first quickly removed that annoying towel, revealing Edrea's sexy body, her eyes shined in desire as he started groping her soft breasts. "Hahaha~ Shall we continue this there?" Edrea laughed charmingly and then pointed at the bed. Mason nodded with an excited look on his face, Edrea smiled and then pulled him to her bed. Mason, of course, let her do what she wanted to, what kind of man wouldn't like when a beautiful woman makes a move on him? Edrea then pushed Mason onto the bed, then, she crawled on the top of Mason's body and once her face was right in front of Mason's, she stopped. Mason smiled, Edrea smiled back, then, Edrea closed her eyes, Mason closed his eyes as well and soon, Their lips met. Mason tightened his grip around Edrea's body, Edrea played with his rod with her right hand while she kissed. Then, her tongue entered his mouth, and Mason's tongue started moving as well, Suddenly, Edrea bit the pill she had stored in her mouth then using her tongue, she forced the pill into Mason's mouth. Before Mason could react, the pill already entered his stomach and his eyes widened in surprise.
