New law of Beast Taming

Amane tried to get behind Professor Cardin's back but he did not allow it. So what choice was Amane left with, but to touch the machine with her aura? It turned out to be a bad idea because of Amane's unstable aura.

As soon as it touched the machine, it exploded and Amane looked on in shock.

Her expression was nothing compared to the utter devastation Professor Cardin showed during that moment.

"N-No! My baby! All the result of my research was in that machine and now it is lost forever. What should I do? Oh god, what should I do regarding this? I want to die…."

Professor Cardin could not believe his lack of luck. All he wanted to do was to record some data. How could he possibly know that this would happen?

And what even caused his machine to break down in the first place? He did not remember a thing of what happened. He only knew that he was fighting with Yoko and then his machine exploded.

"Here, let me have a look…hmm, it is completely busted and I don't think there is any way to retrieve this data normally."

Amane was guilty of destroying this machine but she did not feel guilty of doing so. It was the professor's fault for keeping his precious data without a backup.

But now that things had come to this, Amane felt her brain waves move. She suddenly had an idea of what she could do to get her hands on more experimental data.

"Professor Cardin, I know that you are devastated because of your data destruction and that is why I want to help you out. I know someone who can help you get your data back."

One of the secretaries Amane had found during her time was a master of such things. Amane was sure that it had something to do with his powers but she and not pried any deeper into this.

Her secretary would not only be able to use his power to get all the data back for Professor Cardin, but he would also be able to get a copy of it to Amane. This was a good plan overall and now Amane only needed Professor Cardin to agree with it.

And with how devastated Professor Cardin was over his machine, the mere offer of getting it fixed and his data retreated was enough for him to stop doubting Yoko's intentions.

...….

"Tsk, it has been two days and we are no closer to finding out what happened with the funeral than before. How is that even possible?"

Sakura stressed out as she leaned back into her seat. She had finally started to distribute her work to other people as Amane had suggested but she still had a lot more to do.

Unlike Yoko, who left everything up to her secretaries to finish, Sakura decided to not put all the burden on them. She felt like it was her duty to take care of messier things herself.

At first, the secretaries were beyond happy that their boss was competent, but it soon became annoying to get back to Sakura regarding permissions every 10 minutes. They wanted their authority back but were too afraid to bring this up with in front of Sakura.

Not because they were afraid of her, but because they were not as free with her as they were with Yoko.

So, Sakura continued to take unnecessary burdens and did not have enough time to do actual important things,

"Well, this is pretty much what happens if we go through the legal channels. Nothing gets solved and the case must be dropped in the end. That's why I suggested to let the divine guild handle the investigation."

Charlie remained calm in the face of Sakura's anger. She knew that nothing would be resolved if she let her temper flair. And her words were enough to make Sakura flinch as well.

"Ugh, I know that you are right. Nothing will get resolved legally, but this is what Yoko needs to be let free. My mother would use anything as an excuse to threaten Yoko's safety. And as much as I trust your people, I do not trust Mother."

Sakura admitted and Charlie shrugged. She had her fair share of adult problems when she was young so she could not say anything to Sakura.

Moreover, she had been beyond ruthless during her time when she had been gaining power. And the adults who had criticized her and Amane had been the first ones she had dealt with.

"Alright, so we must go through legal means for this. Do you have a strategy for dealing with all this?"

Charlie asked and Sakura bit her lip. She had half of a strategy formed inside her head but she was not sure if it would work or not.

"The main reason we are unable to get anything to come together is the lack of evidence. We finally managed to find the corrupted data from the file on the records, but there is no way to retrieve it by normal means. So, I was thinking of deploying an expert for this."

Sakura admitted but she did not sound confident in her offer.

"You have someone in mind who can help us out? You should say who you are thinking about and I can tell you if it is worth it to pursue or not."

Sakura put some pressure on her brain to think about the person she wanted to find. In her memory, there was one of Yoko's secretaries she had read about who could retrieve this data for her.

But she needed a second to go through the list once more.

"Ah, here it is. Dante! He is somewhat of an oddball among Yoko's list of secretaries so I was suspicious as to why Yoko kept him around. Looks like I finally found my answer."

In the report, the picture showed an unkept teenager with huge eye bags as well as unkept hair. The teenager had seen better days and Sakura would not want to associate with him usually.

But this time, she decided to give him a chance and quickly left for the secretary.

He lived relatively close by and his home (despite all the misgivings) was a modest two-storied house that was clean.

Both Sakura and Charlie had masked themselves so that they would not be found out by normal people. And it turned out to be the correct decision because the door was opened by Dante's mother.

The kind female who opened the door looked surprised to see the two visitors. Surprise and suspicion shined in her eyes but she decided to let the two speak what they wanted to.

"Excuse me miss, but is Dante in there? We are his school friends and we wanted to ask him something."

Sakura was a good actor but even she had to admit that Charlie's charm was perfect. The way she talked and behaved, no one would be able to tell that she was not a teenager.

'I don't know if it is an admirable trait or an insult that Charlie is such a good actor when it comes to acting like a kid.'

"I…excuse me? School friends, you say? I will have to go and ask Dante about this, so can you wait a few seconds for me to come back? Do not go anywhere and remain here. I will be back soon."

Dante's mother quickly fled the scene almost as if she had a dog chasing after her. She quickly opened Dante's room and brought him back.

The profile picture Sakura and Charlie had seen of the teen did not do him justice. He looked even more unkept in his current attire.

"-I told you I have no friends from school. These people are likely here to scam us out of something. Just send them back and…"

"Nonsense. These girls look like such kind people and you are just asking them to go back like this? You need to treat them right if you want to be friends."

Dante rubbed his ear as he walked in front of Sakura. His eyes were filled with suspicion and he was certain that he had never seen these people before in his life.

But before Dante could say anything, Sakura grabbed his hand and shook it. She also passed a small note into his hand which had her real name on it.

"I am so happy that I can get in touch with you, Dante. There was an important thing I wanted to ask you but your phone was 'switched off' and this was the only way for me to meet you."

Sakura stressed some words and Dante finally read the note in his hand. He flinched and understanding passed through his eyes.

He then looked at his mother and spoke the words she had never heard him speak before.

"Mother looks like the cat is out of the bag. The truth is, I do have friends and they decided to come and check on me. Do you mind if I take them to my room? I want to discuss something with them."

The small exchange did not go unnoticed by Dante's mother and she looked worried about two females being alone in his son's room.

"I…are you sure? I don't think it is a good idea…"

"Don't worry miss. We both are more than capable of protecting ourselves if anything happens. We are not as fragile as we look."

Charlie has a pure steel rod in her hand that she bended to demonstrate her strength.
