Chapter 98 Embedment

William froze for a moment when he saw that woman, and memories flooded his head. This wornan shared the same desk as him during their freshman year and his first crush. She came from a Moran clan. and this attire was what she usually wore. She stood out among the crowd.

William didn’t have the chance to get to know her, however, for she dropped out after a month of studying. This woman’s name was Rayna Talavera. She also had a Moran name, but no one knew what it

was.

Rayna’s beauty was the talk of the whole campus. Students of every year would wait around after class ended just to catch a glimpse of her. Even some of the younger lecturers tried to approach her. However, Rayna never got close to anyone. Eventually, the handsome and rich men gave up. Everyone kept their love hidden deep within their hearts.

It was surprising to see Rayna joining the dinner.

A lot of people recognized William the moment he showed up. Some said hi, while some averted their gaze. He was an ex–convict, so some students refused to talk to him. William took his seat and said calmly, “It’s been a while.”

Rayna smiled at him. “You haven’t changed.

“And you’re as beautiful as ever.”

A sweet smile curled Rayna’s lip. Everyone else changed a lot.”

William noticed that Rayna was shining. It was a colorful light, and she radiated a nice scent. It smelled like flowers, but it wasn’t. He wondered what was going on, so he turned on his third eye and saw something shining residing in Rayna’s belly. That thing was about the size of a pinky and looked like a bug. The bug was the source of the light. Embedment? A hint of fury flared in his eyes.

In the memories he inherited, there were records of entomancy, and there was one particular skill that was used to make powerful insects called embedment.

Embedment was an evil skill. It required the user to embed an insect into the body of a female, and then the user would provide the female with a lot of powerful herbs and food. The insect would then absorb its host’s nutrients, and once it grew to maturity, the host would lose all her blood and die a grisly death.

Noticing the shift in the air around William, Rayna smiled. “On second thought, there is something. different about you.”
