"But how is this even possible? We do not know any of this."
Medus tried to negate the words said by Coulter and even the proof he just showed her. It was obvious that all of those people faced death because Kayden came into interaction with them. Those people were random people whom he met during travelling and similar stuff.
It was clear and in front of her that Kayden' touches were causing mutations in people and they were having a lot of problems. But she was still unable to accept that he could do something like that and did not even inform them. However Malcolm was not surprised as much as he should have been.
He had already experienced a similar situation. It was in his knowledge that something was surely wrong with him. Or else why would Kayden try to kill him out of nowhere. Although it made him curious regarding what could be the stimulus which made his senses clouded. Medusa on the other hand was not sure whether Coulter was speaking the truth or not, thus she inquired further to dig out the truth.
"How can you be so sure that he is responsible for all of these deaths? We have been by his side ever since our arrival. We do not know any of this. How should I believe you then? You could have been lying, and all of these pictures could be fake."
She bluntly made her remarks about his inquiry and challenged him so he would speak the truth.
The man on the other hand was not going to budge because he was sure that his proofs were true. And none of the information was forged or fake. It was obvious and he had been handling this case personally and there was no chance of forging and meddling with the proofs.
It was just the succubus who could not believe in that and was unable to even keep her head sane. She looked at Malcolm who placed his hand over her shoulder and explained the incident which he faced with Kayden back in the kitchen. It was necessary to remind her about that time which could prove Coulter's words.
"Do you still think I am lying? Tell me what benefit will I get from all of this lying?"
He threw back the question at her making Medusa unable to speak, after all she had no clue how to counter his statement. It was significant and the background knowledge given by Coulter scared her even more.
Medusa glanced at the chief with a visible glint of horror in her eyes. She had no clue what to say. She felt a bit disappointed in herself for not being able to detect the change she had been going on. It also made her mildly angry about the fact that Lydia had been spending more time with him lately.
The succubus could not help but believe that perhaps Lydia was aware of this and she kept on hiding this from her. She did not expect her to be that sharp and it was also one of the reasons she did not want to believe the truth which was right in front of her. Medusa felt that she was left out of all that matter, her assumption about Lydia made her enraged.
Coulter could already understand her situation and it also made him realise that his own daughter was also the reason of Medusa' disbelief. How could she trust his words when his own daughter had broken it. The succubus was disappointed in Kayden because he hid Lydia from her, and now Coulter came out of nowhere with confidential information.
He continued his speech after having a deep sigh. Coulter looked towards her and took a stroll of the room and then headed back to the sofa. Medusa on the other hand was not sure what to conclude from those pictures. She looked at them carefully once again and tried to find out how it was possible.
"It is not a rapid process but a slow poison, they all died right after a week of interaction. It clearly justifies that his powers are something else, something which we do not know or can contain. Does this prove my words that he is the doom of the vampire realm?"
Coulter plopped back on the sofa and let both of them look at the pictures to build up some clues. However it was already written all over their faces that they were unaware about it. It relieved him that they both were not involved in those murders at least.
"His mother went back to her realm assuming that she was the one who would bring the doom to both realms. She was the one who abandoned her son and left the vampire realm to make sure that both kingdoms are safe. Although now that I think over the matter again, I do not think she was the problem. Instead her son, the miraculous child, that vile seed is the one who will bring us down."
Coulter spoke in a distasteful tone because he could accept the fact that he was going to die. Medusa on the other hand was listening with concentration equally as Malcolm. She was not sure about the part involving the former succubus queen. She could only talk about Kayden with whom she had stayed.
Although somewhere in her mind she pondered over the matter assuming that Coulter might be brainwashing them against Kayden. After all he had forcefully marked his daughter as his mate which also ruined his reputation. It was obvious for him to take revenge or save himself from misery.
It was highly possible that her guess could be true and it was all Coulter's doing to save his job and reputation. It now made sense to Medusa that he was provoking them both to work against Kayden in order to save themselves and their lives. After all, who would not like to live.
Though Coulter was unaware that they both risked their lives to save the whole realm. Nonetheless his words were already hitting right nerves and were working effectively. Hereby I ask you what do you think?
It also left a lot of room for the assumptions made everything was going in a wrong way which could not be explained. However, the pentagon was worried about the sudden deaths. No doubt they were usually caused without any concrete explanation.

On the other hand Kayden was tackling that mutant vampire back in the forest. He was facing some troubles in doing so, and was just going with his instincts. However he was relieved that Lydia was now at least saved and he did not have to worry about her.
Kayden focused on the observation of the aura, two of his five tattoos began to glow. After his transformation as an incubus the black colored bands appeared on his arms, two on right and three on left one.
The bands indicated the power level and after years of training he could only unlock two of them. He inhaled deeply and sensed two different kinds of auras coming from the mutant.
'Mm, he has a really foul aura. It seemed he never used his vampiric powers for good.'
Every vampire oozed an aura according to their true nature, hence Kayden had a strange one. However the mutant's body which was earlier reduced to pulp, now started to move.
The flesh and green fluid which appeared to be rotten modified blood, began to attach itself as the pieces moved together. Kayden opened his eyes with the keen gaze darted on the literally mashed mess.
'As expected he can't be killed easily with body decapitation.'
Kayden's two ring tattoos appeared in physical form and floated around the spread flesh. He did not want to give any further time to the mutant to recover, it would be a hassle to undergo another fight.
The dark aura of the mutant had already spread around, sending signals to the rest vampires. The black halo rings floated while producing the visible yellow waves of energy.
"Not so fast, fucker!"
He positioned the rings in polar directions with the recovering body in between. Black smoke began to rise from the wriggling body, and the vampiric aura got absorbed into the rings.
The vampiric part got absorbed while the mutant's body was visibly reduced to struggle for regeneration. The scientists tried to revive the lost trait and a few more, but the attempt was futile and ended up costing so many lives.
"Now, now...it should be easy."
He landed on the ground gently and flung his arm out to grab another branch. The thin branch moved and tore off, it flew towards Kayden. The mutant was slowly attaching its parts of body.
But before he could come back in a position to attack, Kayden smashed the flesh repeatedly to make it to pulp again. He panted while the floating rings continuously absorbed the aura to weaken it.
"Finally!"
The boy exclaimed with joy upon seeing the rotten flesh scattered with a lifeless decapitated body. The rings stopped moving and flew back to Kayden's arms and became inscribed on his arm again.
"I should take a sample of this. Who know sit might come in handy in near future."
Kayden waved his palm clockwise and a few droplets of the lethal green fluid flew up in the air. It formed a small bead sized bubble and vanished, precisely got stored in his invisible pocket.
After the demon's awakening within him he had undergone different changes. Numerous perks have been added in his list and he was seizing the chances up to his benefit. He was not sure what changes he would undergone but one thing was certain Kayden was now trying to understand things keenly.
