"You''re finally back..."


    "We missed you so much!"


    Lacey and Eliana were in the middle of a dance party when the music stopped. Lacey was about to re up in fury but turned to the sight of Wilbur with Betty and Monica in tow.


    Lacey and Eliana were overwhelmed with emotions, rushing over to hug the three of them.


    "I''ll talk to you about your situation in a bit! There''s someone else I need to see."


    Wilbur turned after that, following the beautifuldy from earlier further into the mansion.


    He was quickly led to a room filled with screens ying footage from the security


    cameras.


    There was only a single person in there, a stunning woman with perfect curves.


    She got to her feet at the sight of Wilbur, bowing to him respectfully. "I''ve been waiting for you, sir. Now that you''re here, I''ll be subject to any punishment you bestow upon me without a single protest."


    Wilbur stared at the beautiful, intelligent woman before him. He could not bring himself to destroy her.


    He sat down on a chair, before looking at Kyra. "Why were you so sure from the start that I would help you, or that I''d even have the power to help at all?"


    Kyra pointed at her own eyes. "I was born with a power unlike any other, sir. I have the ability to tell how powerful a person is based on the color of the aura around them! Coincidentally, I happened to pass by when you first arrived at Ayer!"


    Wilbur fell silent at Kyra''s honesty, before saying, "Well, since you have such special powers, were you plotting a scheme around me from the second I checked into that little inn?"


    Kyra sensed the rage in Wilbur''s words but nodded without hesitation. "Yes... and no, sir. Aside from Monica''s husband taking Rabbick''s goods, I had nothing to do with anything else! I was originally going to have them bring Eliana to me after Rabbick took the goods, but those idiots were useless, and that''s why everything spiraled to this stage!"


    Upon realizing that Kyra was not lying, Wilbur did not wish to find fault in her. Yet he asked, "Well, I''m sure you''ve got other intentions, leading me here. Indeed, sir! I was wondering if you would be so kind as to help me regain control of the Rian Brotherhood, sir. I''m willing to give anything up for it, including myself."


    Kyra cast an unreadable gaze at Wilbur as she spoke as if trying to see if Wilbur would be taken by her beauty.


    "I will say that you''re a beautiful woman, but you still haven''t earned the right tomand me as you wish, and you''d be greatly underestimating me and overestimating yourself if you think you''re going to be able to win me over with your beauty! Of course, I might consider your offer if you''re able to get me other things that might sway me!"


    Kyra nodded excitedly at thest sentence. "Of course, sir! Tell me what it is that you want, and I''ll do my best to get it for you! You''re more than wee to test it out if you don''t believe me now, sir."
