Chasing After My Wife Chapter 176
Advertisement
Savannah turned around abruptly to see who bumped her but the person didn't even stop to apologize. She just let it go but she etched the disappearing back deeply in her mind.
"Are you alright?" her classmate asked her.
"I'm fine. No worries." She put her phone on her back pocket and continued walking with her classmate. "Will you be taking the same subject as me for the next class?"
"Nope. I will be taking a different class and the department will be next to the Science building." the man answered. "I'm David, by the way."
"Thanks for helping me out David." she replied coyly beside him. The man just smiled at her and didn't say anything.
"Why did you come back to school now that there are murders and kidnapping cases involving our school?" he asked her again.
Savannah just snickered arrogantly at him. "Why not? It's not like I'll be the next victim. I will be picked up from school when it's time to go home. I really have to finish my course or the headmaster will no longer give me another chance."
"You know the headmaster?"
"Uh huh. He is sort of an uncle to me." Savannah lied with a straight face. However, the man beside her just chuckled at her. She stopped for a moment and observed him. 'My cover couldn't have been blown right?' she thought to herself worriedly.
The man tried his best to stop laughing and leaned closer to her. She pushed his chest a little to put a little bit of distance between them. "I know why you're here. No need to lie with me."
"What the?!" Without a warning, Savannah had one of her hands at the back of his neck. To other students who were watching them, it looked she was flirting with the guy, only the guy knew how painful his neck was. "Don't mess up with me. Who are you?"

"I am same as you. Can we talk nicely?" the man named David tried to compromise. Savannah let him go and even fixed the collar of his polo shirt. They looked good together but a certain someone kept reminding her to avoid hooking up with other men - it was Valkyrie. He could hear all the words they exchange and so was Hawk.
"Savy, dark clouds are hovering his face. I am starting to regret agreeing to this decision." Valkyrie spouted nonsense again while throwing glances at Hawk.
Savannah sighed and chose to ignore him. David showed her a message on his phone to go over the library to talk. She followed him silently under the obvious stares of jealousy from both men and women.
When they arrived at the library, Savannah picked up some random books as well as David. They chose to sit in a corner where they can see the whole student in side the library.
"I saw you one time with Lucian's sister-in-law." David opened up when they sat on their chosen seat.
"You mean Jillyanna?"
"Hn. I think it was the time after she was kidnapped."
"You are sharp." Savannah commented.
"How did you know about 'it'? They both knew that the 'it' they were talking about was her cover.
"I was just wondering why Jillyanna's friend would be here in this campus knowing that everything's messy."
"Right. I am sure the criminals know why I am here, too." Savannah mocked herself. "But that doesn't matter. I will be fine. I will catch them soon. Why are you handling this by the way? It had been sent to our hands already."
"Intel."
"I see. Thanks for your help with the information."
"No problem." David smiled sweetly to the woman who passed by their table.

"Have you noticed someone suspicious in this campus?" she asked him while flipping through the books.
"I have someone I'm keeping my eyes on."
"Who?"
"The person who bumped with you earlier."
Savannah smiled and nodded her head. "I was rather suspicious of him too." she agreed. "That person reeked of blood and other things."
"Right. However, I have a hunch that there are several suspects."
"There are. We've seen them come and go their hiding place but we can't act yet. We needed to remove them from their roots." Savannah stated.
"One of my teammates said that one of the suspects may be a girl with one of her fingers crippled or cut out."
"Really? I saw one of the chef in the cafeteria with one of her fingers missing. She looked really pretty though."
"My teammate said that she should be pretty. I'll take a look at her later. Bring me to the cafeteria, will you?"
"Sure no problem." David agreed to her immediately.
"Don't fall in love with me. I'm taken." Savannah stated which stunned the person opposite her.
He was clearly taken aback but there's no way she'd take her words back. It was the only way she knew to pacify someone who had been listening to their conversation since earlier.
"Don't worry, I don't plan on cheating with my girlfriend as well." He responded as he reached his hand over and messed up her hair. "Let your guy know that I am not planning to steal you."
They discussed different things while observing the people around them. They also ate their lunch together for her to see the lady in the cafeteria.
"I'll treat you since you don't have your student card yet." David said and brought her over to order their food.
David whispered to her while he pointed at the menu but his words were describing the beautiful lady who was serving the food behind the glass panel.
Savannah confirmed that her hand was indeed missing a finger but they couldn't judge her without any solid proof.
David took the tray containing their food and led her to a vacant table. Students were watching them and Savannah showed them her sweet smile. She needed to look friendly and arrogant at the same time. That's what Valkyrie told her. 'And how exactly should I do that?!' she exclaimed mentally while taking her share of food.

The Adventures of Alan
What happens when a university professor somehow ends up in another world, where magic bends the laws of nature? Alan is, albeit unwillingly, about to find out. As a professor of physics, he has a decent understanding of how the world works, or so he likes to think. Armed only with his knowledge, Alan is thrown into a world very different from his own. In his new reality, he will meet both friends and foe, he will seek knowledge, he will build power, and perhaps he will even find love again? Follow Alan through his adventures, and find out for yourselves how he deals with the challenges thrown at him by a new world, while struggling with the issues brought with him from his old one. * Author’s note: A fair warning. This is the first time I’ve published anything, and basically the first time I’ve written anything more than mandatory school-stuff. The story will probably have inconsistencies, grammatical errors (not my native tongue, though that excuse is getting old), and potentially confusing (missing?) plot. I will naturally do my best to write something worth reading, but my main goal in writing this story is to have fun and explore the limits of my own creativity. My hope in publishing it here, is that I’ll reach someone who enjoy the story, and can push me forward towards writing more, as it is difficult at times to find the motivation to write just for myself. Additionally, I can’t really promise to have regular updates, as I have a full-time job that often likes to take the ‘full-time’ part literally, and a sporadic social life that occasionally surprises me (happy surprises mostly, so I shouldn’t complain). I’ll aim for once a week to start with, and take it from there. Happy reading! Cover photo by Jeff Hire (/photographer/gun4hire-58415), from https://freeimages.com/.

How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D

Creature Feature: InGen Hybrids
The fossil record is obviously incomplete, which means InGen's experiments with the hybridisation of various prehistoric creatures are probably not over. With that in mind, this guide is likely incomplete. But if you're writing Jurassic Park or Jurassic World fanfiction, or stories told within that pretty awesome universe, then any of the creatures found in these fair pages should be considered entirely canon!
