The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 106

"So, what you're saying is…" Scott trailed off, subtly curling his lips. "You and your third dad really just thought that the members of The Reclaimers were reagent sellers, and you guys just wanted to buy their latest product."

"Exactly!" Hector nodded firmly. "I swear on my mental essence. If I lied to you, may heaven forbid me from making a breakthrough in my mental essence!"

"Did you get it, then? Did you drink it?" Analise asked again.

"I got it, and I've ingested it." Hector nodded. "The reagent actually works. I have made a breakthrough to A-grade, and my mental essence is S-grade now."

Looking at Analise, Hector noticed the grave seriousness on her face.

"A reagent that helps make a breakthrough in mental essence. What's even crazier is that The Reclaimers developed it." Analise pinched her chin, her mind racing. No matter how she looked at it, the reagent was bad news.

The claw marks on his face were relatively shallow. Meanwhile, it was obvious that the ones on his hand and neck were a mixture of old and new injuries.

Hector pursed his lips as he hesitated.

"The mess at the containment facility didn't turn into a disaster. I believe the Khielson family will be able to keep you from being sent to the dungeon cells.

"However, conspiring with The Reclaimers meant everyone in your family would be put under a thorough investigation.

"Once your crimes are confirmed, even your females' movements will be restricted. They will be monitored by specialized personnel and prohibited from taking a step out of their houses," Scott concluded.

He grabbed the glass of water on his work desk and took a sip. "I believe you know very well about this, Mr. Khielson.
