Chapter 1317 The Matriarch and Yoruichi part 3

Corvina was already prepared and tossed a small terminal towards Yoruichi's direction, "It was easy to figure out which clan it came from with an available sample at hand. What took time, however, was searching for possible member presence within the vicinity of the Draconic Deus."

While listening to her, Yoruichi also took a look at the terminal and summarized the document she was presented, 'Qira Clan. A nomad clan that roams through the whole Etoulde territory and experts of poison-type spiritual abilities. They are under the direct orders of the Holy Family but their members would sometimes take an outside commission under the table.'

Yoruichi couldn't help but click her tongue, 'This is going to be harder than I thought.' In addition to the document about the Qira Clan, there's also a note at the bottom of it, 'To cure their poison, one has to use the antidote from their members. As there are multiple types of poisons, getting the antidote from the attacker will yield better chances of success. If one can't find any of its members, the alternative is a soul surgery which can only be done legally if performed within the Holy City with an accredited Spirit Doctor and at least three witnesses from the Etoulde High Court.'

'What the heck is this?' Yoruichi asked herself after reading that note, 'I wasn't sure at first since it's hard to find relevant records but could it be that their technology regarding souls is even more primitive than that of Soul Society?'

If that's really the case, then Yoruichi just dug her own pitfall, 'From all the data I've gathered and this note, I can be pretty sure that research about souls and their link to spiritual abilities are banned or a taboo. Is it to protect the sanctity of their unique abilities? If so, I just showed them something very illegal and something that violates their moral code. F*ck.'

As if confirming her thoughts, Yoruichi heard a metal clicking sound and when she turned around, she saw Adrenna placing a thick metallic collar around Stralit's neck and as soon as it locked, the leaking Spiritual Power from her immediately disappeared. Yoruichi knew the significance of Adrenna sealing Stralit's Spiritual Power, 'You don't have to do that. Benihime won't be able to act without the girl calling her name.'

Nevertheless, she still has to try to settle things peacefully. Yoruichi turned back to Corvina while reorienting her body towards the door, "Now that I'm done here, I'll be taking my leave. I won't bother you anymore but I'd like you to give me a call when the girl wakes up for further checks."

But as soon as she took a single step, Yoruichi noticed that her shadow started moving and formed a tiny cage surrounding her in an instant, "...I knew I'd been rude, but I still saved your daughter. Isn't this too much?"

"I don't care about your etiquette and am truly grateful for your help and saving my daughter, however, as a head of the Luxeux Clan and a part of the Etoulde race, I just can't ignore what happened."

"Please don't act ignorant. While new, you've been dealing with information business so even though you're from Draconic Deus, you should already have some idea of the gravity of your actions just now."

Yoruichi was silent for a moment and seemingly waited for Adrenna and Stralit to take some distance from her, "I'm ignorant, alright. But even if I'm aware, I don't think your codes apply to me? Draconic Deus is not part of your territory nor I'm an Etoulde. So why should I answer to your governing body? And isn't this done in secrecy? Couldn't you just let me go and pretend that nothing of this happened?"

Corvina was silent for a moment and considered Yoruichi's words and the fact that she saved her daughter even though she had a feeling it was her group's fault that something like that happened to Stralit in the first place, "I apologize, but it's not something I could ignore."

Yoruichi's poker face turned into a frown. She was about to force her way out when all of a sudden, Corvina started moving and took out her personal terminal and the moment she pressed its screen, a holographic image of a pretty woman with deep dark red hair and eyes of the same color, [Good day to you, Luxeux matriarch. It has been a while.]

Corvina frowned, "Gwenn Yarwood... I would like to know how you got my personal contact, but I'm quite busy right now and won't be able to entertain you."

[I apologize for the sudden contact. I pestered my father nonstop for a few days to talk to you.]

"I understand, but whatever it is, it's inconvenient for me right now."

[Because of Yoruichi, isn't it? She showed you something amazing and you now see her as a threat.]

Adrenna was stunned and Corvina's frown grew deeper. The latter was silent for a few seconds before replying, "It would seem that you're here to vouch for her."

With a big smile, Gwenn nodded, [That's exactly what I'm here for.]

"You of all people should know how dangerous this is."

[Of course. But confining her would just delay the problem. You do know that there's another person like her within Draconic Deus, right?]

"But that doesn't change the fact that she's roaming around with that kind of technology and abilities. As long as we're not sure that the Evies won't be able to replicate this, we can't let her go."

At that point, Yoruichi finally understood Corvina's concerns. She was not worried that Yoruichi is going to be hostile towards her and might cause her irreparable damage but the possibility of her falling into another influence, more notably, the Evies, 'I see. She thinks that I shouldn't be running around when I look like a piece of meat surrounded by predators.'

[Which is why I'm here to request you to let her go if you think she's strong enough to protect herself.]

"..." Corvina went silent once again.

But Gwenn didn't wait for her answer and raised her voice, [Yoruichi, you can hear me right? I'm sorry but this is all I can do. If you want to convince this madam, just go ballistic. That's more of her language anyway.]

Under the veil, Corvina was smiling. But when Adrenna saw that, she shuddered because her smile didn't reach her eyes, "Are you perhaps implying that I'm violent?"

Even Gwenn in a different location couldn't help but be nervous, [Of course not. I'm just giving regard to the brightest star that decimated millions of Evies in a war a few hundred cycles ago all by herself. I figured that you'd rest easy once it's proven that she won't be captured by just anyone.]

'I guess the conditions have been set. Well, I'm also curious about the Luxeux [Quasar].' Yoruichi sighed and for the first time since she started exploring the Evie Etoulde side, she released all her seals, instantly flooding the whole room with her suffocating Spiritual Pressure and crushing the cage made out of shadows that's surrounding her.
