He had disguised himself so flawlessly, yet she had seen through him almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not want to admit it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to struggle one last time, forcing out a pitiful expression. \"Female Master, what are you saying? I’m Aren. I risked my life climbing Beast God Mountain to find medicine for you, and now you doubt me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her with feigned hurt, as though deeply wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough.\" Rory cut him off sharply, her voice like a blade. \"Aren would never look at me like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared down at him, her gaze cold and unwavering, not a trace of warmth left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In his eyes, there is light. In yours, there is nothing but selfishness, darkness, and greed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her certainty struck like a verdict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris held her gaze for a moment, then let out a low laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no point pretending anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he straightened from the ground, the movement unhurried despite the wounds covering his body. A crooked smile spread across his lips, cold and obsessive, almost unhinged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh... Female Master is as sharp as ever. I didn’t think even this would fail to fool you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile widened. He even lifted his hands and clapped lightly, his tone laced with a twisted admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re right. I’m not that foolish older brother of mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he admitted it, Rory’s expression hardened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is Aren?\" Her voice turned urgent, edged with steel. \"Where is he now? Why do you have his light-brain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her questions, the smile on Aris’s face grew more distorted, more cruel, bordering on madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her, speaking slowly, each word deliberate, venomous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dear brother...\" He tilted his head slightly, eyes gleaming with malicious delight. \"Female Master... why can’t you guess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion’s gaze darkened at the sight of his deranged expression. Without warning, he stepped forward and kicked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy thud echoed through the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris was sent flying like a broken puppet, crashing hard into the stone wall behind him before collapsing onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion lowered his leg, brushing off imaginary dust, and looked down at the crumpled figure with undisguised disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guess?\" His lips curled, voice dripping with contempt. \"Guess your ass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And who do you think you are?\" Xarion sneered, stepping forward. \"You think you’re worthy of playing guessing games with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at Aris sprawled on the ground, his gaze thick with disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at you. Neither human nor beast, grinning like some sewer rat that’s been guzzling nuclear waste. It’s revolting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice turned colder, sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suggest you start talking. Tell us where your idiot brother is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause. Then, quieter, more dangerous, \"Don’t make me grind that face of yours into the dirt myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every word from Xarion’s mouth was laced with venom, each one striking exactly where it hurt most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The same face looks decent on your brother. How did it turn so twisted and disgusting on you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each sentence landed like a poisoned blade, plunging straight into the darkest corners of Aris’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could ignore Rory calling him selfish and vile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xarion... Xarion had compared him to the one person he envied most, then reduced him to nothing in the same breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single line shattered whatever restraint he had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The same face looks decent on your brother. How did it turn so twisted and disgusting on you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pff—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris’s blood surged violently. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his head, eyes dark and vicious, glaring at Xarion with a hatred so intense it seemed ready to tear him apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You half-dead mutt...\" he rasped, voice warped and hoarse, each word dragged out through clenched teeth. \"If you’ve got the nerve... then kill me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chest heaved as he spat, almost hysterical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m telling you, even if you tear me to pieces, I will never tell you where that idiot is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A broken, manic sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha... I’ll tell you this much. That fool is about to die. He’s not as lucky as I am. The female master he loves... he’ll never see her again before he dies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes gleamed with twisted satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sickening silence settled in the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Paros stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, he lifted his foot and pressed it down onto Aris’s face—the face identical to Aren’s—and ground it hard against the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint crack of shifting bone echoed in the confined space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movement was brutal, merciless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when Paros looked at Rory, his expression softened instantly, his voice lowering into something gentle and obedient, like a great beast that had sheathed all its claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, step outside for a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was quiet, almost coaxing, though the pressure under his foot did not lessen in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What comes next won’t be pleasant. Don’t worry. I’ll make him talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel stepped forward as well, his voice calm and reassuring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rory, he’s right. Wait for us outside. This isn’t something you need to see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory had never hesitated when killing aberrant beasts, and even when dealing with enemies, she was decisive and efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yuel knew that she had never tortured anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they had no intention of letting her witness that side of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory glanced back once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris was still pinned beneath Paros’s foot, his face twisted in pain, yet his eyes remained locked onto her with a stubborn, feverish intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated for a brief moment, then gave a small nod and turned toward the cave entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master, don’t go—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen to me! Everything I did... I did it for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic seized Aris. Ignoring the pain crushing his face, he shouted hoarsely, his voice tearing through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel cast Xarion a quiet look. \"Xarion, take Wen and Nix outside. Stay with Rory. Don’t let this mad dog’s noise reach her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion shot Aris a look of pure disdain before turning and following Rory out. As he reached the entrance, he sealed it with his psychic force, cutting off the cave from the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how loud the screams became, they would not reach her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, only Yuel, Paros, and Aris remained inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel walked forward at an unhurried pace and crouched in front of Aris, meeting his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile curved his lips. It was gentle, almost elegant—but it never reached his eyes. Instead, there was something cold beneath it, something that seeped into the bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well now,\" he said softly, his voice like a lover’s murmur, \"the distractions are gone. We can have a proper conversation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris’s pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Paros,\" Yuel added lightly, \"go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris froze. Wasn’t this supposed to be a conversation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paros did not hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted his foot and brought it down hard again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, onto Aris’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp crack split the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bone shattered under the force, and a scream tore from Aris’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even in agony, his stubbornness held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastards...!\" he spat between gasps. \"If you’ve got the guts, kill me! I won’t say a word!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His laughter turned wild, unhinged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll drag Aren down with me! Even if I die, I can still come back—but once he dies, he’s gone forever! Hahaha—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel listened, watching the way pain twisted Aris’s features, his expression almost contemplative, as if observing something mildly interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he spoke, slow and casual, with a trace of idle amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually... whether you tell me or not doesn’t really matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris’s laughter faltered. He panted heavily, glaring at Yuel with suspicion and venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel’s smile deepened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Word by word, he said clearly, \"Because I already know where Aren is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Yuel watched Aris closely, his gaze sharp and unyielding, catching even the slightest flicker of expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aris is in the succubus territory, isn’t he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the words left his lips, Aris’s pupils contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only for an instant. He masked it almost immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuel had already seen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he rose to his feet, brushing nonexistent dust from his sleeve. The faint smile on his face faded, leaving behind nothing but cold indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not even spare Aris another glance, as though he were nothing more than discarded trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Paros,\" Yuel said casually. \"I’ll leave him to you. Keep him alive, that’s enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was light, almost careless, as if discussing something utterly trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Find a sturdy chain and bind him. Since he can come back from death, then don’t let him die. Lock him up instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see how long he can keep living like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither allowed to live freely, nor permitted the mercy of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was far more... interesting, wasn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris’s greatest reliance had always been his ability to defy death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, Yuel had taken that certainty and twisted it into a prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aris’s face contorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuel... you shameless bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1514,"2026-06-05T18:17:47.496Z",1,"novelbin.me","c27b926306772da882f4e50ea8e010c5f28b660129c7de9c37eb4bba55e3a255","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-97","interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-257",315,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finterstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-cover.jpg"]
