Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 

< 94% 

In the instant the kitten suddenly extended its claws, Kian struck at the same time, executing a throat lock and flipping Ashton onto the ground. 

Nyx didn’t see clearly, but the excellent dynamic vision of the surrounding males was more than enough to capture everything that happened in that split second. 

The white cat was so vicious it went straight for the throat, its speed terrifyingly fast. 

The military academy students questioned themselves–no one was confident they could dodge such an attack, and they broke into a cold sweat, casting wary glances at the white cat. 

“Is this a cat?” 

“What breed is it? Its speed is unbelievable-” 

“It can’t be a cat; it must be a Beastman!” 

“I also think it’s a Beastman! It’s definitely not lower than S–level!” 

If Kian hadn’t struck at the same time, allowing the cat’s claw attack to miss, Ashton would have likely been bleeding out on the spot. 

Even so, Ashton’s condition wasn’t much better. 

Kian had knocked him down in front of everyone, slamming him to the ground with no ability to fight back. 

Ashton struggled to get up, using both hands and feet, his head hanging low, unable to lift it, his face flushed with shame and anger. 

This humiliation was the second time he had experienced it at Kian’s hands. 

The reason he hated Kian in the first place was because Kian had been so ungrateful, refusing to deliberately lose in a one- on–one test during a certain class and publicly humiliating him. 

Ashton gritted his teeth in rage. 

Even though Kian had saved him this time, he felt no gratitude. 

Fueled by both old and new grudges, he glared at Kian and sneered, “Look at you, acting like a dog in front of her!” 

“She’s just an ordinary, powerless female,” he sneered, “only a lowly poor guy like you would act as a simp for such a female!” 

Though these words were said in a fit of anger, they represented Ashton’s true feelings toward Nyx. 

As Kian’s arch–nemesis, Ashton had naturally caught wind of Kian’s public loss of control, and as a result, he began paying attention to Nyx. 

Even though he admitted that Nyx was somewhat cute, a cute female without mental power wasn’t within the scope of noble males‘ mate selection. 

It was true that the gender ratio in the empire was skewed, but the elite class never lacked females.

Chapter 39 

As a powerful and influential noble, Ashton was destined to have a high–class mental power matron. 

As for Kian, no matter how strong he was, he was only worthy of a female without mental power, 

Ashton finally found a sense of superiority in front of Kian and vented his emotions freely. 

He looked at Kian with disdain, then turned his lustful gaze toward Nyx. “Why don’t you leave him and come with me? I can offer you so much more.” 

Even though he only intended to play with Nyx and wouldn’t make her his mate, the benefits he could offer were far more than Kian’s. 

“What can a lowly male like him offer you? He–Uh!” A stone came whistling from a distance, hitting his shoulder and causing him to stumble and cry out in pain. 

Furious, he turned his head to see who the reckless person was- 

“Professor Lee-“The curse that had almost escaped his lips was swallowed back, and he awkwardly greeted Chris. 

Chris wasn’t having any of it and shot him a glare. 

The older professors hadn’t been stopped by Zayne and arrived in full force to meet Nyx, only to walk straight into this scene. Their tempers flared, and the wrinkles on their faces deepened. 

“Which department’s student is this? He’s really embarrassing Imperial Military Academy!” 

The surroundings fell silent as Zayne swiftly walked toward Nyx. 

He knelt on one knee and reached out to straighten the disheveled skirt she had hastily adjusted, apologizing by gently pressing his forehead to the back of her hand. “Sorry for being late.” 

Ashton saw this and immediately went mute, as if someone had strangled him. 

His face gradually turned pale as he recalled the words he had just spoken. 

He couldn’t figure out why Zayne was here. Then he got it: Zayne was also Nyx’s male. 

That meant his earlier insults towards Kian now applied to Zayne as well. 

After all, Zayne, like Kian, was a low–class male, and his background was even worse than Kian’s, as he came from the Desolate Planet. 

Ashton couldn’t help but tremble. 

He dared to provoke Kian, but he would never dare face Zayne directly. 

Zayne was a notorious tough guy from the Imperial Military Academy. 

He had been bullied for his low status in the past, but unlike Kian, he hadn’t tolerated it. 

The most infamous brawl in the history of the Imperial Military Academy had been instigated by Zayne. 

Generally a picture of scholarly calm, Zayne shed his bookish persona. Rolling up his sleeves, he unleashed a wave of violence that left several noble males unconscious. His pristine white coat was now stained crimson, and they were quickly rushed to the emergency room.

Despite his medical background, he knew exactly how to gauge the situation, ensuring he wouldn’t kill anyone or be charged, but due to the noise he caused, he was given moderate disciplinary action. 

The terrifying calmness he maintained amid extreme violence was what made Zayne the most unsettling.

The elderly professors accompanying Zayne vividly remembered their once–proud pupil’s brutal past. Sensing the potential for his seemingly calm demeanor to erupt into violence in an instant, they quickly grabbed hold of him to restrain him. 

Fights among students were not a major issue, but when faculty members beat students, it was a serious problem. Zayne had just started his position and had no reason to jeopardize his promising future over such matters.
