The law of Fiction: Harem in the fiction world

Bruce had seen all kinds of people in his profession. As a priest, many people sought him out for various reasons. But he had to say that the most rotten people he had met had come from his rebel background.

When people wanted to have something they wanted to be done, no kind of boundaries could be set up. In the end, humanity was a selfish race that was dependent on mutual interest.

Perhaps that is why Yohan was such an impressive specimen to him. This person who called himself a devil could almost see what Bruce was thinking.

And he also knew what to say to make Bruce react in unpredictable ways. It was a complete change from what Bruce was used to and it bewildered him every time this happened to him.

But the worst part was, Yohan did not even try to hide that he wanted to use Bruce. Unlike humans who id behind their masks of self-interest and innocence.

"So Bruce, are you in or not?"

Just like right now. Bruce could see that Yohan only saw him as a way to meet his end. But somehow, Bruce did not hate being used this openly. It was a fresh change from his usual way of dealing with things.

And besides, Yohan gave Bruce the feeling that he would succeed in what he set out to do.

"As you did not reply to my question about the officers, I can only assume that you have things planned out already. Fine, I will help you out since I was the one to introduce you to this mess."

Bruce easily agreed to the request. He might look like a good leader but he was not a good leader. He was full of self-interest as well and he wanted to live more than anything.

Then the only way to make that possible was to get ownership of the chaos core somehow.

"Good. it's nice to see you all agreeable like this. As a result, I will introduce you to someone good and helpful. This person also helped me develop this odorless drug. The only catch is, this person is rather hard to accommodate."

Yohan's offer was decent but Bruce had a feeling it was more than that. He had gotten a report of a genius staying with the rebels inside the sector so this was likely the same person.

And in that case, Bruce understood why Yohan wanted to take that person out of the sector. They could not afford to attract too much attention after all.

"Understood. I will take that human in for the time being. But do keep me updated on the chaos core and what you are planning to do next."

Bruce could see it- they both had come to a tactical understanding between the pair. Yohan's lack of guard also contributed to this fact.

"Sure I will keep you updated. But make sure you do not dwindle when you have work to do."

"Huh, who are you talking to, brat? Don't forget that I was the one who introduced you to the rebels and this world."

Bruce felt an unconscious smile break on his face. He was beginning to feel optimistic all of a sudden. And it was all that to Yohan.

For the first time in forever, Bruce felt hope swell up in his heart. He felt like their side had an advantage and the chaos core was not too far away from them now.

"Ah, that reminds me. The person I am about to introduce you to creates some artificial conductors. You can try them out to see if they are useful or not. I am sure that it would help you out a lot."

Now, this! This was a game-changer for sure.

//////////////////////////////////

Yohan spent a little more time outside the sector than he had anticipated at first. It was a good thing that he had run into Bruce because that man had a lot of news to tell him.

And as things stood, it was also during this time that Liza managed to track down the location of the chaos core shifting. It was shaping up to be a great day for him.

So Yohan should have expected things to go wrong all of a sudden. Nothing was this easy in the world, especially when this universe followed its laws. So as things stood, Yohan being escorted to the prison was nothing new.

"I am so sorry, dude. I did not expect us to get caught while we were out hunting in the forest. I don't even know how the authorities found out about us in the first place."

Bruce apologized as he was escorted into the prison right at Yohan's side. He sounded confused and Yohan was sure that he would have done his research before choosing this place as the hunting ground.

Something about this arrest felt fishy to Yohan and he had a feeling that there was a lot of internal politics involved in this case.

"Nah, it's alright. I don't think we have a case against us since we did nothing illegal yet. We will be given a slap on the wrist and then let go of."

It would go in Yohan's record and anyone else would have taken it as a mark of shame. But Yohan was a temporary guest in this world so it did not matter much to him.

Once he absorbed the chaos core, this world would no longer be as it used to be.

"I know they do not have a case against us but still, be careful. Something smells fishy right here."

Bruce's warning was something that fed Yohan's paranoia. But he was sure that he would be alright. If things came to worse, Yohan would just stage a break-out of the prison. It was not there was anyone who could stop him.

"Next person, head in for interrogation. Hey kid, hurry up."

Yohan felt a small shove and he almost lost his balance. The officer who was escorting him inside was not gentle.

These people were treating Yohan like a criminal without even having any charges against him. It was unfair and Yohan wanted to sue them for this.

As Yohan entered the room, he instantly wanted to groan out tiredly. He could see the person in front of him and he knew for sure what happened.

"Ugh, it is your fault, right? Just what do you want to do, officer Shizue?"

The black-haired officer was sitting in front of Yohan without even a hint of remorse on her face. She seemed to be expecting Yohan to enter the cage.

"Everyone else is free to leave now. This person here, I will handle him on my own."

Shizue seemed to be the one who orchestrate this whole situation and Yohan was impressed at her actions. It seemed like he had underestimated Shizue's reach.

"So you even know how to take advantage of the people around you. And here I thought that you were a meek member of the police force."

Yohan had read up on Shizue's records once Bernetta had approached him. Shizue had been an outcast, someone from outside the sector who had been taken into the academy.

She had not been an expert or one of the privileged people but she was a hard worker who chose to partner with Bernetta once she graduated. Their relationship had begun years after their partnership thought.

"Shut up and sit down. I am not here to answer your questions, nor to entertain you. You will also have to spend a week in this facility until we look into your charges."

Yohan frowned as soon as he heard Shizue's words. He was being detained? But at what charges?

"Hey, I don't think I did anything to deserve to be detained. Isn't this too much? I want justice to be served right."

Yohan demanded, now a little pissed off. He debated whether he should march out of this police station right this second. It would not be too difficult to do and Yohan would not lose much.

"I know you have no charges against you. But it is a good excuse to keep you away from Bernetta until the chaos core has been shifted to a new location. I am sorry but I will be using you to keep Bernetta in check."

'Ah, so now you are showing your true colors.'

Shizue did not look like a manipulative bitch but she was beginning to look more and more like one. She did not even back down when Yohan stared her right in the face.

"Are you sure you want me as your enemy? You don't know what kind of trouble you are getting yourself into by going against me."

Yohan warned Shizue for the last time. He could feel the energy closing off his magic but it was only related to the conductor. If Yohan wanted to, he could have still used magic to break free.

But he chose to stay put for now. Bernetta needed to take a stance regarding this and it was time she saw Shizue for who she was.

Yohan would not take any form of betrayal and that extended to Bernetta. If she needed his support then she needed to reel her girlfriend in.𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖
