After their incident with the dark creature, Xiara.

Booth Rogers and Malia were still taken aback from their sudden encounter with the banshee.

​​

If only Booth was not wounded, Malia would have chased the banshee already.

But she had to stay with Booth.

To make sure his safety.

"Darn! That was something. Good thinking there, Malia! But I must say, we almost got killed there." Booth complimented Malia and stated the obvious.

"Yeah! The more we have to leave the coven now. There might be other dark creatures aside from the reinforcements of this coven may arrive. This vampire coven is part of the members of the legion of vampires." Malia shared her worry to Booth.

Though, there was something else bothering her.

Fragments of her memories were starting to resurface.

The words of the one who claims to be her brother may seem to be making sense.

Like her memories supposed to be returning already.

A possibility was pointed out that her memories may have been repressed by certain drugs or medicines.

Secondly, Fluffy knows her more than she could know herself.

Seeing the feral wolf in her memories triggers a lot of questions.

Only having her memory back will answer it all.

"Yes, we should get out of here! ASAP!" Booth agreed with Malia.

He noticed the distracted expression on Malia's face.

Seemingly, that something was bothering her.

"Are you alright?" Booth became worried for Malia.

"Yes, I am okay! Don't worry …" Malia reassured Booth.

A sudden thought came into Malia's mind.

While Booth turned his back so he could check on his anti-magic weapon, Malia tore a piece of cloth from her top, discreetly.

And threw it to the side without letting Booth notice what she just did.

Hoping that this would be useful for someone she intended it for.

Moments after …

…

…

They reached the great hall of the coven and saw the scene left by Zaeqir.

Bloody and messy!

"Oh, no!" Booth felt responsible for a moment upon seeing AJ's corpse impaled on a huge spike made up of rocks.

Blood of AJ was still dripping from his wound.

Unfortunately for him, there was nothing they could do about it.

As Malia scanned the area, she wondered.

"Where is his anti-magic weapon? I thought you went here with your fellow members of the Rogers Family." Malia curiously wondered.

"This is bad! If his anti-magic weapon is missing … This will be veeeerryyy bad for the Rogers Family. Mostly on me, they will make me hold accountable for this …" Booth conveyed his worry.

A worry which he will be accountable for.

Back in the main headquarters of the Hunters Association,

Newly appointed president of the Hunters Association, President Tony Vitre was walking towards the conference room escorted by his men and supporters.

Other bosses from the other noble families of hunters were waiting along with their own men.

The entire conference was filled with hunters inside.

It will be their first official meeting after announcing the appointment of Tony Vitre as the new president of the Hunters Association.

Newly appointed President Tony Vitre requested for all the bosses to convene for special meeting.

On his arrival in the conference room, other lower-ranking hunters gave respect and greeted their new president.

Except for the other bosses, they only nodded and acknowledged the presence of the new president.

President Tony gestured for others to take their seat as he took his own seat.

Everyone was anticipating for what their president wanted to announce or discuss about.

If most of the bosses were supportive and glad to the appointment of Tony Vitre, there was one individual not completely happy of the situation.

Boss Emil from the Rogers Family was not completely looking happy at the sight of President Tony.

Because he believed that the new president should have come from the Rogers Family.

According to the boss of the Rogers Family, having the boss of a lower ranking family of hunters as the new president is an insult for the institution that many noble families have worked so hard to establish.

It was not secret to many that members of the Rogers Family have expected for their own to be appointed or elected to the highest position in the Hunters Association.

But due to the growing influence and increasing achievements of Boss Tony from the Vitre Family, majority of the members of the association could no longer deny his presence.

Hoping … maybe under his leadership, they could improve the operations and the condition within the Hunters Association.

The incident of finding out and eliminating all the spies of the king of vampires made everyone finally decide to appoint Boss Tony without any elections.

At first, Boss Emil was staunchly against it.

Upon realizing that everyone has already decided.

Boss Emil of the Rogers Family did not pursue any longer.

To avoid any unnecessary backlash from his family.

Maintaining their reputation and nobility is his top priority rather than fighting for the position which may cost him more than he may bargain for.

"Thank you everyone for coming. As we have found out recently, King Lionel and his legion of vampires may have penetrated the constructs and planted some spies within the ranks of the Hunters Association but we fought back and put an end to his evil plans." Initial part of President Tony's speech.

Others gave him rousing applause for such words.

He continued in his speech,

"Right now, our priority is to stop their advances. Assessing on the movements of his legion, the king of vampires intend to expand their territory and put more humans at risk. Their legion has become more dangerous and increasingly threatening to the safety of the human species …" Before President Tony could finish his speech Boss Emil raised his hand for a question.

President Tony was gracious enough to let the old man talk and ask away.

Even though the truth is … he was not feeling too delighted as well with the presence of the current boss of the Rogers Family.

"Yes, Boss Emil?"

Boss Emil started to air his concerns, "So are you saying that we putting all our focus in going against the king of vampires and his legion? Are we going to war against the vampires now? Is this how you want the association move forward from this point on?"

He furthered,

"Imagine the other threats as well rising. Once we focus to only one group of targets. Remember, many dark creatures have finally wreaked havoc and pillaged cities, villages and community of innocent lives. I think, we may be wasting a lot of resources and man power if we focus only on the king of vampires and his legion. Compared to delegating per family the priorities of targets. Let each family handle specific classification of targets. And with that, we will be preserving more lives and more resources." Boss Emil stated his own set of recommendations.

Tension suddenly became evident between the two.

Whispers and some nods were thrown upon hearing Boss Emil talk.

It undermined the supposed plan of President Tony.
