Incubus' Blood Harem-Chapter 181 Joining Hands With Coulter
Coulter knew that now nothing could be done if they both were not going to put faith in him. He did not want to wait for any longer to say his actual words. He had more things to be worried upon. The man was keen and precise in his view, Coulter knew that he was not in a position where he could wait anymore.
Things were becoming dangerous due to Kayden's presence and everything was becoming hard to tackle. He had to tell them what he wanted before the chance could slide away. Thus despite the utter disbelief in their eyes he narrated them both what he required.
"Fine, fine. It is up to you both in whatever way you want to perceive my words. However I was telling you guys the truth. Although you are right about that part where you said I might have something on my mind."
Medusa's attention was caught by those words as she shifted her gaze towards him. Malcolm on the other hand was the one to speak to him at first. He could not wait anymore after hearing those words from Coulter.
"What do you want from us? And possibly what can we provide you?"
He did not have any clue what was happening and what he could possibly demand from them. It was highly unusual for someone to bargain with their kind acknowledging that the people of Beelzebell loved to play with minds.
A meaningful grin appeared on his face when Coulter began to speak. His confident tone was sure that Medusa would comply with his demand. Although the succubus had no idea what he was going to wish for. Because there was no such valuable thing in their possession.
It raised her curiosity and she looked straight into his eyes trying to find any evil glint. The man was not going to hold back from anything now that Medusa had already agreed to listen to him. Coulter sneered and started to speak, his knowledge about so many things had already given him an upper hand.
"Since you two were unaware about all this and still do not have a good insight in this matter. I am sure you both deep down know that whatever I have said is true and you can't really deny it. I can help you two in finding Kayden his right direction. I know he can still prevent himself from destroying everything in this realm."
Coulter paused for a moment to see their reactions, which made it evident for him that they both were listening to him. It relieved him that perhaps he could still persuade them to believe in him. Thus he continued his speech as they both heard him with concentration.
"As far as I know his mother put a seal over his powers which will prevent any kind of outburst. His powers can't harm anyone on a huge scale, as far now. But it still is not relieving, he can break his seal any moment. Although I am not sure how this is possible, but it can happen."
"And we have to stop exactly that. He can stir a chaos if his powers burst into something big. At the current stage he is thinking about himself and that is why his direction is not right."
Medusa's senses got pricked at those words which reminded her about the time when Kayden used her for his own pleasure.
The succubus was not sure how to respond to those words because everything was true. And she could not deny that Kayden had used her, including Lydia for rising his status. It was all clear in front of her and now she had started to believe that everything Coulter said could be true.
He was still speaking without bothering anything with Medusa. On the other hand Coulter' gaze was darted towards Malcolm who perhaps was listening to him carefully. The man was aware of what to say and it was the possible golden moment to confess and say everything.
"It is necessary to put him into a right direction before he messes up something. However it can only be done if we add more positivity into him."
Malcolm heard his words and waited for Coulter to finish, before he could confront him once again.
"That is acceptable. But you still haven't told us, what do you want in return?"
Coulter smiled at him and seated himself on the sofa with a comfort expression. He was sure now that both of them would listen to him.
"Ah, yes. About that…I want you two to take me with yourself when this realm ends. Only if that happens and nothing could be done. You have to take me with yourself, since Kaydne will already keep Lydia by his side because she is his mate now."
Their expressions turned serious upon hearing those words. However it sounded as a fair deal since they all were going to benefit from it. But before Malcolm could respond to him with any kind of reply, Medusa reached for his hand.
"Malcolm….Kayden and Lydai are in danger. We have to go!"
The woman seemed worried when she sensed that something was wrong with Kayden. Due to the mate bond she was able to sense anything wrong or any kind of danger around him. It was obvious that she caught the signals.
Malcolm on the other hand nodded and they both rushed towards the door of the lounge. Coulter was left alone in the lounge with his own worry, because he did not want to lose his daughter at any cost.

On the other hand Medusa was walking cautiously throughout the bushes, she was now alert in case any mutant would ponce on her. However the succubus was confident in her hearing senses and the powers.
'Damn, this forest is really a dangerous place. No wonder they have that sign board outside and its not a surprise why these mutants do not go out of the area.'
Of course, the vampires were viscous beings who would do anything for the gain of their kind. It was also one of the reason why Kayden's city was one of the powerful ones in the vampire realm.
Medusa soon came to the middle of the forest where a bit of the land was treeless. She immediately understood that the burnt flora of the place was the result of Kayden's dark powers.
"Oh no! This is bad, at this pace the whole forest will be burnt down to ashes."
Kayden' imbalanced emotions made every living thing around him to turn to ashes. The pathway from where he passed was now plain black residue of grass and ash, which Medusa followed to find him.
She saw Kayden sitting under the tree with his head shoved in knees. His muffled huffing was audible to Medusa due to her exceptional thinking. Kayden sensed her movement and when she reached him, he pulled her wrist.
"Kayden...." 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢
With just one swift movement Kayden wrapped her into a tight hug, Medusa was caught off the guard and could not properly react. His sobbing slowed a bit as Kayden stayed in the hugging position while they both knelt on the ground.
Malcolm approached them and due to his silent yet rapid movement, both of them did not hear him coming. The servant incubus examined the surroundings to make sure if there was any danger or not.
'These vampires are vile bastards!'
'Medusa?'
Kayden heard her voice and held back his tears, as soon as she was in his range Kayden took her into a tight hug.
He did not want the succubus to see him at that hour when he was unable to pick Lydia's scent. And it made him worried, however Medusa had already heard his sniffling voices.
She was caught off the guard and within no time Medusa was in his embrace. Kayden tucked his chin over her shoulder while grasping breath. Medusa patted his back not knowing what happened to Kayden.
On the other hand Malcolm witnessed both of them in that posture from behind the bushes. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐om
His resentment towards Kayden's kind increased every passing day, and now Coulter drove him mad with all that truthful revelation.
"Kayden, are you alright? I apologize for taking too long to reach you."
The succubus took the charge to explain the delay so Kayden would not think they left him, but perhaps Kayden's attention was somewhere else.
He completely ignored her brief speech which undoubtedly was justified because of the distance.
The servant incubus did not expect Medusa to still treat him like that, Malcolm expected some change within her after Coulter's speech. But perhaps the succubus had made up her mind to join hands with Coulter.
"It is because of your powers Kayden, that all flora is burnt. The emotional imbalance triggered the dark aura, which in turn destroyed every living thing around you."
Malcolm stepped backwards and kept himself calm so they would not sense his presence. He did not want to jump into the fire before making sure he would not spout anything stupid again.
"What do you mean by my emotional imbalance? Is this because of my changing feelings?"
Kayden walked ahead and knelt on the ashy grass, he took the remnants into his hands.
"Yes. Your powers from incubus blood are based on emotional aspect, while the vampiric ones are related to the thirst for blood. However how your blood affects is still unknown."
