Spoiled By My Nine Beast Husbands (Emma Tibarn) novel Chapter 370

**When She Opened the Door to the Life She Was Afraid to Live by Nora Vale Kingsley**
**Chapter 370: The Weight of Good Intentions**

“Please, you must keep a vigilant watch over him. No matter what unfolds, ensure he doesn’t act on impulse. I’m heading to the Central Planet immediately with a group.”

Drake’s sudden demand for a whole contingent of fierce, battle-ready therians sent a chill down Emma’s spine.

Why on earth would Drake require such an army?

Was he truly scheming something on the Central Planet?

No. Absolutely not.

The urgency of the situation propelled her to confront him head-on.

“Mr. Thero, I completely understand your concerns. You can count on me; I’ll ensure he stays in check.”

Emma was resolute. She would not let Drake instigate chaos on the Central Planet.

With determination coursing through her, she closed her lightcore and sprang to her feet, her mind set on locating Drake.

“Emma, hold on a moment.” Silas stepped into her path, gently grasping her wrist. He had overheard every anxious word of Thero’s call. “I know exactly what this is about. Let me explain.”

“You know?” Emma’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him, her heart racing.

“Yes,” Silas affirmed with a nod, intertwining his fingers with hers and leading her toward the kitchen. With a subtle gesture, he used his mental power to seal the room, ensuring their conversation remained private.

He retrieved several Rank-11 beast cores and insect cores from his storage band, laying them out on the counter before her like a peculiar offering.

Before Emma could voice her confusion about the sudden appearance of these high-grade cores, Silas began to recount the entire saga of how he had “trapped” Drake. He explained in detail how he had subtly nudged Drake into recruiting personnel for Lucien’s squad, his voice steady and composed.

When he finally finished, Silas rushed to defend his actions.

“Emma, you have to believe me. He set me up first. I didn’t deceive him; I simply took a chance to ask for his help in getting Lucien out of his current predicament, that’s all.”

I swear to the Beast God—I wasn’t exploiting Drake for my own benefit. I genuinely wanted to assist Lucien.

Emma’s lips twitched with a mix of emotions. She glanced at Silas’ chat logs with Drake, her mind racing. Then, in a quiet voice, she asked, “Are you absolutely certain that, given his current state, he even realizes he was communicating with you?”

From the messages alone, it was evident that Drake had no clue who he was actually speaking to.

“That’s not the crux of the matter,” Silas replied, his tone calm and collected. He was far too astute not to recognize that Drake was oblivious to the fact that he was conversing with Embrace of the Moon. “What truly matters is that he can assist Lucien.”

A light bulb flickered on in Emma’s mind.

Silas was capitalizing on Drake’s resources.

She returned the lightcore to her pocket, a hint of concern settling on her features.

“I’ve heard whispers that therians from the Four Domains harbor a deep resentment towards the Empire Army’s restrictions. Even if Drake manages to bring them here, will they willingly join Lucien’s squad?”

“That hinges on Lucien’s abilities,” Silas replied, giving her hand a gentle squeeze and flashing a reassuring smile. “Don’t overthink it. The real question is whether they can arrive here safely. Once they’re here, persuading them to remain won’t pose a challenge for him.”
