Chapter 192 Deal with Coulter
The soft glow of a desk lamp illuminated a cluttered room filled with books, papers, and various artifacts from his father. Kayden sat there hunched over his desk, ticulously filling out the academic application form. His eyes squint as he read the fine print with intense concentration.
A half-empty glass of juice brought by dusa was placed nearby, evidence of his growing frustration. Kayden grumbling to himself groaned in irritation. "These blasted forms... who cares about criminal charges anyway? Fuckers!"
He continued to fill in personal details, his pen scratching against the paper. Kayden's background as a mixed breed and his outbursts of energy had led to his fair share of legal entanglents, but he was not willing to let that stop him from pursuing knowledge.
Kayden reached the section titled "Criminal History." His brow furrows as he read the requirents. Kayden re-read while muttering under his breath. "Criminal history? Why do they need to know that for an academic position? Is this a trap from Coulter?"
With a sigh, he set his pen down and begins to reflect on his past exploits and incidents. mories of narrow escapes from the law, the killings, encounters with other species and close calls with the law flooded his mind.
Kayden returned to the application form, his face etched with determination. He knew he had a colourful past, but his desire for knowledge and a chance at redemption outweighs his fears.
Kayden was resolute in his stance. He knew that to avenge his father's death and to find his mother he needed to get stronger. "I have faced danger, outwitted traps, and crossed paths with the shadiest of characters. But I have also learned from my mistakes."
He resud writing the form, while rembering his past adventures and encounters with the law in painstaking detail. The pen glided across the paper as he filled in the details, now only the blank that was left was the criminal one.
Kayden muttered to himself. "If they can't accept who I was, they'll never appreciate who I've beco."
With a final stroke of the pen, Kayden completed the section on criminal history. He stared at the form for a mont, reflecting on the path that led him to this point.
Kayden was determined to beco on the top of the chain. "They will either see for those mysterious cris, or for the supre mage I aspire to be."
He sealed the envelope with the application form inside and down the last sip of juice from his glass. Kayden was ready to embark on a new adventure—one in the world of vampire academia, where he hoped to leave behind his shadowy past and embrace a brighter future.
Kayden gazed at the sealed envelope, his mind still racing with thoughts of his criminal history. He contemplated visiting the local police station to address his past and ensure there are no lingering charges that could jeopardise his academic aspirations.
Kayden muddled to himself, uncertain about what to do. He did not want to seek help from Coulter for the matter. But also knew he had no other choice which was better. "Perhaps I should pay a visit to the police station to et Coulter. It's ti to settle my past once and for all."
As he reached for his envelope, a soft, haunting voice fills the room. The air seed to grow colder as dusa, called out to him with eyes that seem to hold secrets, materialized from the shadows.
dusa questioned him while smirking. "Going sowhere, Kayden?" Kayden startled, his hand freezing mid-air. He turned to face dusa, his expression a mix of surprise and suspicion.
He grew annoyed by her frequent habit of doing that act. "dusa, how did you...? How many ti have I told you not to-" dusa spoke while interrupting him as she warned him. "I have my ways, darling. You were about to make a grave mistake now by going to Coulter."
Kayden narrowed his eyes, sensing that dusa knew more than she was letting on. Kayden questioned her with a guarded tone, appearing curious and mildly worried. "What are you talking about?"
dusa took a graceful step closer to Kayden, her eyes locking onto his with an intense, almost hypnotic gaze. dusa spoke coyly tracing her finger over his chest. "You see, Kayden, Coulter has connections—connections that can help you erase your criminal past, or at least, make it disappear from the prying eyes of the academy."
Kayden's curiosity piques, but he remained cautious. Kayden beca skeptical as to why she was telling him that. "Connections? Why are you telling this though? And how do you even know this?"
Before dusa could answer, a ssage notification chid on Kayden's phone. He retrieved it from his pocket and read the ssage. His eyes widened as he took in the sender's na: Coulter. At such a right ti?
Kayden was astonished to see his timing and knew right away that sothing was suspicious. "Coulter wants to et with ?"
dusa smiled while she hid their brief chat with Coulter because she wanted to see Kayden on the top of the pyramid. And the academy was the only way to attain power and sources.
"Ah, I see you've received the invitation. It seems Coulter is interested in a certain... arrangent." Kayden's mind raced as he considered the possibilities. An opportunity to clear his na and secure enrollnt in the academy is too tempting to resist.
Kayden was still uncertain with that sudden offer after whatever had happened. "What kind of arrangent?" dusa leaned in closer, her voice a sultry whisper. Her smirking made Kayden suspect her even more.
"A mutually beneficial one, my dear Kayden. But to find out more, you'll have to et with Coulter in person." Kayden hesitated for a mont, torn between his desire for redemption and the mysterious offer on the table. Finally, he nodded in agreent.
Kayden was resolute. "Alright, dusa. Set up the eting with Coulter. I'll hear what he has to say." dusa's smile widened, her eyes gleaming with intrigue. "Excellent choice, Kayden. Power awaits you, and perhaps, a few more adventures along the way."
As dusa vanished into the shadows, Kayden's world is once again plunged into uncertainty, but he was ready for everything ahead if that granted him power.
