"An interview, huh? I can do that. When will they be contacting me?" Ryu asked. He had no issues doing an interview. He hoped that maybe he could also use this chance to spread awareness of orphans.
"Alright then. The higher ups will be in contact with you soon. Take care!" Mimi ended the conversation and sat back in her chair, inside her apartment. She was looking at a picture of the real Ryu, Yuki, on the screen in front of her. She reached out and stroked the screen. "My little Yuki, just wait for me."
Lightning flashed outside, illuminating the dark room. On the walls were blown up pictures of Yuki from before and after her accident. Mimi smiled and ran her hands down across her body and between her legs. "Yuki~!"
Ryu ended the message with Mimi and suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine. "Why do I suddenly feel like something bad is about to happen?"
Shaking his head, Ryu called Chi and Margie and headed to the Vaughan clan along with Zan. Out of all the powerhouses in Westfall city, Zan was now the strongest, so he was the perfect bodyguard in case something went wrong. But to Ryu's surprise, when he reached the Vaughan family's gates, he was greeted warmly and led right into the main hall.
"Ryu, you're here." Clara greeted Ryu warmly before turning to one of the maids and ordering: "Bring them in."
The maid bowed her head and left the room. Clara then turned to Ryu and bowed deeply: "You have my deepest apologies! To be honest, I did not realize how strong Serenity was and did not think you could ever amount to anything within the city. Yes, I know the power you held before, but after seeing the people under you being so weak, I just…."
"That is understandable to a point. But you must remember one thing. Never judge a book by its cover. One does not win wars by strength alone. And trust me, if it came down to a fight between Serenity and your Vaughan clan, I am sure I would win." Ryu said confidently. He already had a few insiders in the Vaughan clan, people under his own payroll.
Before Clara could reply, the maid that was sent out came back with a long cart and four silver platters on them. Ryu looked at Clara with a questioning look, not understanding what was going on here. "This is my gift to you." Clara walked over to the cart and lifted each silver lid revealing four different heads. "Each of these heads is responsible for what happened to your guild members the other day. The one at the end is my brother..."
Clara did not realize that even her own brother was in cahoots with the Qin family. It seemed he wished to take her position as the next head of the family. But he was weak in cultivation and only ever went out to play games, unlike her other brother, who was a poison fanatic.
"I see..." Ryu frowned. He really did not wish to see a bunch of heads. "I see you are trying to make amends for what happened before. I can trust you this one time and will not touch the Vaughan family. But if I catch any of your family members doing anything to the citizens of Westfall, I will kill them." Ryu gave the same warning as she gave the Qin family. He did not want any strange happenings going on within the families anymore.
"You have my word, and thank you." Clara bowed her head deeply. A great weight was lifted off her shoulder. She did not wish to go to war with Serenity, not when their guild leader was now a nine souls forming cultivator, and he also had a soul destruction cultivator at his side.
After saying his goodbyes to Clara, Ryu was finally free for the rest of the day. He and Chi went to their small little courtyard in their palace and snuggled up together on the bed. "Today was tough..."
"Mm… Do you feel better now that you killed her?" Ryu asked as he interlocked his fingers with Chi's
"No. I was overcome with anger and jealousy and did some pretty crazy things… I just hope I never do that in real life." Chi said as she rested her head on Ryu's chest. Her free hand was under his shirt, playing with his belly button. "What's annoying is that you are now a full realm about me... "
"Ah yeah, that was surprising. I never thought that would happen." Ryu leaned down and kissed the top of Chi's head. "I am sure you will catch up. My leveling will be very slow from now on, and the cultivation method we use, I believe, said something about helping your partner level faster to even out the cultivation realms."
"Hopefully, that is the case," Chi replied, her hand resting on the bulge in Ryu's pants. "Maybe we should log out early. I kinda want to hug the real you."
"Mmm… sounds good.." Ryu smiled and brought up his window. The two then logged out.

Yuki pulled her helmet off to have Trisha pressing her lips against hers, then laid right on top of her resting her head on Yuki's shoulder. "Trisha, you okay?"
"Mmm… My actions today just scared me. I don't want to become some kind of psychopath. But my love for you consumes me sometimes, and I begin to lose myself." Trisha replied. She was truly scared herself today with her own actions.
Yuki wrapped her arms around Trisha's shivering body and held it tightly. "No matter what happens, I will be by your side. I have done some crazy things myself so far since playing this game. So if we are to go crazy, let's go crazy together."
"Mmm… I love you Yuki… My sweet, caring Yuki..." Trisha started to doze off when she suddenly felt a hand pulling her shirt up and playing with her chest. "Yuki?"
"Mm? I just felt like giving my loving Princess a full body massage."
