*LEON*It was another full moon. I remembered she told me before that something terrible would happen on the day of the full moon. Looking back now, what she said was true.I stared at the full moon outside the window and sighed deeply. Forgive me, Vicky. I had no other alternative. You don't know how much I wanted to hug you when you came to see me.Forgive me. I am still too weak. When I have the strength, I will come back to pick you up. But for now, I had to leave you. Now I can only help you financially. I hope you are alright. I want you to have a good life. When the time is right, I will tell you everything.My vision gradually became blurry, and my thoughts were pulled back to a few days ago…"Come here, sit down."In my office, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a big beard stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the whole of Manhattan solemnly. I was surprised because he was my father, Conrad Knightly. He had rarely shown care for me since I

*LEON*Conrad nodded with satisfaction and slowly stood up from his seat. It seemed that he had achieved his purpose. He walked to the office door, suddenly turned around, and said something to me."Oh, right, I'm still very interested in your girlfriend. You'd better always provide good value to me. Otherwise, I'll still have to go after her."The heavy door of the office was closed with a bang. After he left, I found that my palms were soaked with sweat. I took out my mobile phone and saw that Vicky had called me and sent countless messages. She must be worried about me. "I'm sorry, my love, I can only protect you in this way now. I hope you don't hate me."While thinking about it, I deleted the call records and text messages on my phone one by one. In fact, I hadn't figured out how to face her yet. If I told her all this, she would definitely do something for me—stupid thing.I knew she was powerful, and no creature in this world could defeat her.But the Knightly family was more

*VICKY*Rainy New York made me feel a little depressed.I was leaning against the window and looking at the street. Pedestrians were trotting in a hurry. The road downstairs of my house was blocked when there should be no traffic jamMany people in New York didn't have the habit of using umbrellas, and I was one of them.I put on a cape. The hood was deep enough to block my face completely, and I put on my scratched bag and walked to Jennifer's store. The traffic jam was a bit serious today, and her shop was not far from my home, so I decided to walk over.I always liked to take shortcuts on rainy days, and it was nice to see the city from a different perspective.I slipped into a small alley, looked around to see if anyone spotted me, flew to the roof, and then jumped between buildings at high speed. Overlooking the whole city gave me a feeling that everything was under control, although this might just be an illusion.I was extremely fast, and instead of walking for twenty minutes,

*VICKY*I took the note and checked it against the street number plate. I had already checked the numbers on Ditmars Avenue three times but still didn't find the number 335. What the hell was Jenn doing? She mysteriously gave me a note on the store two days ago, saying that an old friend had entrusted her to see if there was a suitable tenant. She also told me that it was a good place that I had never seen before, so I would be satisfied.But the two best stores on this street were occupied by a funeral service company and a tavern, and the initial number on the whole street was 336. After three times around the block, I again returned to the original location, standing in front of this funeral service company dumbfounded."May I ask if you need any help, Miss?"A chubby middle-aged man came out from inside and greeted me politely. He watched me walk in front of his store three times and probably thought I was lost."Oh, Sir, I'm looking for number 335. Do you know where it is?"I ho
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 61: Meet Jaydan
*VICKY*There was no magic chanting or colorful magic effects as I thought. The short guy named Qulin pulled out a hammer full of runes from his bag, and when he held the hammer with both hands, the runes lit up. Then I heard a few loud clangs. The wall was broken out into several large holes as if it was made of paper.This process was repeated many times and the entire wall was smashed through, but strangely enough, the debris that was smashed down looked like burning shredded paper and disappeared directly into midair. The passersby around seemed to be completely unaware of this loud noise and were still doing their own thing.I looked at Lars. He shrugged at me, probably meaning that this was really nothing strange. The only thing that made me curious was the hammer, which was obviously an old object. I wanted to ask about its origins, but then I thought that everyone had secrets, especially these mages.I left the rest of the house layout to Lars. Professional things should be
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 62: The Same Thieves
*VICKY*I still sold nothing after Jaydan left because, since seeing him again, I became a little distracted. I had a strange feeling in my gut. I kept feeling as if there must have been something that happened between us when we first met, and I felt that this matter was very important.I replayed meeting Jaydan in my mind over and over again. I remembered being dazed in front of the hotel, and then I bumped into Jaydan, who came for an interview, and then I inadvertently got his resume on the way home.When I got back to the hotel again, the interview had already started. I gave him back his resume and teased him for a while, but my main purpose was to make sure Leon saw me, and when he succeeded in the interview, we...Wait a minute. He was now Leon's assistant?With the sudden progress in my little bit of sorting out that lost memory, I seem to remember that we went somewhere afterward, and when we got there, Jaydan explained to me some very confusing things.Seeing that my f

*VICKY*"You can't take her away!" Lou declared. "She's with us, and besides, you're the ones who crossed the line."Skinny Lou stood by my side, mustering up all his courage to face off against the other party. He hoped to use the rules of the gang to force them to give in. He was still too naive. On the streets, people only followed the rules if there was someone strong enforcing them.The only hope for the weak was to be bullied, but I admired his courage, and the spirit he had in him. Lou's words elicited a wave of mockery."Kid, I advise you to get the hell out of the way. You should just run home back to your mommy.""You guys...what are you up to? Do you want to break the rules set by Arthur? Whether you believe it or not, I'll call him over and he'll finish you all off.""Lou, shut up. You'll get us killed. Just give it up already!"John was on the sidelines and grabbed him, trying to pull him back, but Lou jerked his arm away."John, this lady saved us once. She woul
Human, You Are Delicious Chapter 64: Jaydan's Secrets
*VICKY*"Honestly, your acting skills are brilliant," I complimented. "You actually fooled me. I'll give you two thumbs up for that."I was now sure that Jaydan couldn't be an ordinary person. He must've tampered with my memory. I couldn't help but be upset because of it. After all, I used to be the one who did that kind of thing to other people and now it was being done to me."Vicky, listen to me. I did it for a reason. It's not that I didn't want to tell you, but that I couldn't–can't."Jaydan looked nervous, I could even hear his heartbeat from here. That confident smile that was usually on his face had disappeared. Good, it made me feel like I was the one in control again."Are you sure? You know I have a thousand ways to get those secrets out of you. I don't have a very good temper these days. You shouldn't test my patience like that."Despite my words, I wasn't interested in his secrets. I needed to figure out why he was approaching Leon and me. If he refused to tell me no
