New law of Beast Taming

Amane noted down the herbs and other agents she could read about. But most of it she guessed based on her previous memory. It was that difficult for her to be able to guess the drug and how it was made.

In front of them, the doctor and his assistant Pauline seemed to be seemed to be packing their things. They were done with their patient and now seemed to be wanting to go back.

Karl entered the room as well since he had been called back. He looked anxious and wanted to know how his granddaughter was doing.

"So, what is the verdict? When will Kelly recover?"

Karl asked with a nervous tone to his voice. He looked at the doctor in front of him with uttermost respect was also doubt.

The doctor coughed into his hand to hide his nervousness and turned toward his assistant. And Pauline was the one who answered Karl's question.

"The drug should start to take effect in about an hour or two. But you will need to make your granddaughter drink the potion two times a day if you want to maintain her health."

Pauline reminded Karl and he quickly nodded. There was nothing he was not willing to do for Kelly anyway. This was all but a small matter to him.

"Of course. Now, about your payment. Come with me and I shall sign you a cheque to pay you back for all the trouble. Money is not a problem for me."

Karl assured and the doctor's eyes shined in greed. The doctor had an almost nervous smile on his face when he faced Karl.

"Ah, there is no need to hold us in such high regard. We did what was expected of us as professionals. There is no need to go out of your way to reward us. Although, if you do want to reward us, then I will not say 'no' to you."

The doctor assured and Karl quickly led him outside. Pauline remained behind to check on the patient one last time.

She took out her notepad and jolted down some notes before she held Kelly's face and forcefully opened Kelly's eyes to check for any reaction to the drug.

Once she was assured that the drug had taken hold of Kelly, Pauline let her go and sighed.

"It's a good thing that you turned out to be a suitable test subject for The HIVE's special drug. Otherwise, you would have died for sure. The foolish doctor still doesn't know what he is doing."

Pauline complained as she sat down on the bed. Now that she was alone, she dropped her mask once more. She continued to check up on Kelly until the doctor came back and picked up his bag.

"Pauline, it's time for us to head back now. Mr. Karl, do call us back if anything happens. I will always remain available to receive your call."

The doctor promised and the scene finally faded. Amane quickly placed her hand on Ehn's shoulder to comfort the child.

"I-I did it. I was able to maintain my skill the whole time without fainting. This was the first time this happened."

Ehn looked shocked at his skill level. He had never been able to maintain the illusion for this long before.

But it was a given that Ehn was having a hard time before. He was not cared for by the government and he was being abused by them constantly. This kid needed someone else to take care of him.

"Hmph, of course, you were not able to perform well before. Did you even eat and rest before you met us? You are still so skinny and lack power. It would be better for you to eat properly at least."

Sakura reminded Ehn and he jumped back. He had forgotten that Sakura had even been there. And the realization made his face flush red.

"I…you are right. I should eat properly if I want to gain more power. But sometimes things just get too much for me. However, I will try my best to maintain my health from now on. I want to be an asset to you guys."

Ehn promised with a grin on his face. Sakura was taken aback by his enthusiasm and she had a flush on her face from being regarded so high.

To hide her discomfort, Sakura coughed in her hand and pretended as if this was only natural. But Amane noticed the flush on her face.

"Anyway, this is a good thing that the memory in this room was so clear. This prescription also helps us find out what is wrong with Kelly and help her out. I will hand it over to Karl now."

Amane waved the list in her hand and handed it over to the guard. With this, most of her work was done.

Kelly was likely addicted to her medicine but it was something she would have to overcome herself. There was no real solution for all the poison in her body other than time.

Well, Amane could flush everything out of Kelly's system if she wanted to. But it would be painful and would also harm Kelly in the long run.

"So, what is the plan now, Yoko? Is this case resolved? Do we get to go back now?"

Sakura asked but Amane was not sure. She wanted to catch the doctor and Pauline to find out more about them and what they did.

Especially Pauline seemed to be the one who did most of the harm. Who knew how many more people these two had caused trouble for?

"Well Sakura, I guess it's for us to administer justice for those who cannot hold it up for themselves. Are you going to help me out or not?"

Amane did not even need to ask this question at this point. Sakura was ready to help her out anytime she wanted to.

"Of course, Yoko. I am ready to help you out. And from the sound of it, I am sure that you have a plan as well. So let me hear it from you."

Sakura asked and Amane quickly told Sakura of her plan. From here on, their plan would depend on how fast they could find the doctor and his assistant.

.........

"You want me to give you the doctor's number? The one who treated Pauline? But shouldn't we complain about this to the police and let them catch the criminal?"

Karl rubbed his head as soon as he heard the news Yoko had brought him. He did not seem happy to hear that he had been tricked by some ignorant people.

Not only had Karl been tricked successfully, but he had also put the life of his granddaughter at risk.

"I know how you feel about it. But leaving it up to the police is a wasted case. I am sure that the police are mixed into this scandal as well. If you truly want justice, then hand it over to the divine guild. They will be able to handle it for you-"

"No way! If I tell the divine guild about this, then they will try to separate me from Kelly at all costs. I will not allow this to happen."

Amane fell quiet once she heard that. It seemed as if some things never changed, no matter who oversaw the divine guild at the time.

Divine Guild had been famous for scouting out talented kids back in her time as well. Often enough, they resorted to stealing and plundering if things did not go their way.

While Amane doubted that they would terrorize anyone any longer, she was sure that talent scouting was still a part of their tasks.

"I understand. You do not want to get the divine guild involved? Then it is your own choice. I will not force you to ask them for help. But I will ask you to hand me over the responsibility for this case."

Amane held her hand out and the man in front of her had a choice now. He could choose to accept Amane's help. Or he could suffer and wonder what could have been…

The decision was simple when you took it all into account.

"Fine, you can help me out. I mean, I do need your help after all. I have been trying to track down the doctor for some time as well now since we lost contact. But all I have been getting is failure."

Karl held out the information he had collected. It was quite a lot but most of it was outdated. Surprisingly enough, there were no records of Pauline and her activities.

It was as if Pauline did not even exist. How could someone be this clean in their life?

"Is this all you were able to get from this?"

Amane asked and Karl hesitated.

", we got a report saying that the doctor was dead. But since we had no evidence and we could not find the body, we have no idea what to believe anymore."

Karl admitted and Amane sighed. She packed the case files and decided to investigate it herself.

"I will try to find anything in here. If I can. But do not hold your breath for success. Likely, I will not succeed."

Amane could also not afford to put a lot of time into this investigation. So she had some annoyances of her own to deal with after all.

"O-Oh, that is…thank you. I do not know how I will be able to repay you for this favor."

Karl looked emotional and happy at the same time when he asked Amane this.
