Chapter 61 Untamable Arrogance 2

....Minutes earlier …....

Seth found himself stuck between two people who he couldn't escape from, Treuchi stood behind him, ready to kill him if given the slightest chance, while this woman who was called Amelia stood in front of him, blocking his way.

Natasha had an offer for him, one that would save his life, but at the same time require his servitude.

"What if I just run away after you've saved me," Seth asked after hearing Amelia's deal, he wanted to know just how this woman planned to keep him in check if he decide to renegade on their agreement.

"oh, well we have this" Amelia's smiled and pulled out a paper, and immediately the paper appeared, the atmosphere tensed up and the wind began lightly blowing around them in a frenzy, he even found it hard to keep the little flickers of lightening on himself active, it was like just the presence of this paper was putting the natural order of things in chaos.

With a smirk on her face, Amelia spread out her aura, bringing a semblance of calm to their immediate surroundings.

Seth looked at the paper which Amelia had taken out, it was just a plain white sheet of paper, but written at its top with what was most likely blood, were terms and agreements on their deal.

"Here read it and drop your blood at the bottom to sign," Amelia said with a confident smile.

Days ago, Amelia had been feeling bored, so when she accidentally chanced on some unimportant emergency meeting, she decided to butt in and pass her time.

The thought that some random kid from some low level area actually had the balls to talk about attacking a Kaiser was slightly intriguing, the kid was definitely an idiot, but she thought she could at least go and watch the despair that would appear on his face when he realized the power of a Kaiser.

Sitting very far away and with the help of a telescope, she had observed their fight, and even right now, thoughts of it sent her shivering and some sacred parts of her body tingling.

He was just 30 years old yet he actually had the power to stand up to a Kaiser, she had expected him to get slaughtered or be a plaything for Treuchi, but while Treuchi had played around him with him a little, he still had to put in a ton of effort.

She watched as the old man craftily deceived the poor boy into exhausting his energy and then ripping out his arm, and seeing the look of fear that came over Seth's face had her licking her lips, she had spotted a very vulnerable prey in sight and she had every intention of capturing it.

All the things Amelia had said to Treuchi about the organization were crap, she had no intention of letting them know about this Seth's potential, she planned to have him all to herself, and what better time to infiltrate into someone's heart than when they were in desperate need with their lives hanging on the edge, and with the terms of the contract, she had confidence that he would accept it.

Seth read the terms of this contract and well he felt tempted to sign it, in the contract, this woman asked that he become her loyal subordinate until the day he broke into the Kaiser level, there were a lot of favorable restrictions on what she could do to him when he was her subordinate and a lot of benefits with sex with her being written in one of the clauses, he couldn't help but look up at her and notice her incredible features and when she noticed his stare, she gave him a charming smile.

Anyone with common sense would know that this woman was betting on him and so was trying to get him in her claws and then use that opportunity to make a friend out of him, well he was wrong as Amelia had plans for something greater than friendship.

So in the end, here he was once again, with two choices before him, almost the same two choices Rose had offered him some time ago, death or humility, he could either turn back and die by Treuchi's hand, or he could just accept this woman's offer and work for her for some time while getting to bang her.

The options were almost the same, but this time things were different, Treuchi's words and his subsequent action had tamed the overbearing arrogance and pride that ruled his mind, and this time he had no trump card to get him out of this situation, Amelia's intentions were very clear from her proposal and he couldn't blame her for having such confidence, but with a bloody smile, Seth threw the paper at her and with arrogance said to her,

"Help me kill him and I might just consider making you my maid".

[Do you ever entertain the idea that you might not survive this fight?]

These words from the old man had been haunting Seth's mind since he began fleeing, what made him so sure that he would win a battle, he tried seeking answers from the sphere but he returned empty handed, it seemed the sphere only gave enlightenment on general knowledge and not emotional problems.

But right now as Seth stood faced with options that could decide his life or death, memories of his life poured into his head, everything from what he could remember of his childhood to his taking of emotion suppressants, meeting Rose, and that crafty Sonia, scary mama Slowly and the thought of perhaps being with Alexia, he thought of her waiting for him to return.

His memories of instances when he was weak were filled with dullness, loneliness, and depression, these weren't particularly horrible emotions compared to other people, but for him, this was a horror, life after the transformation was filled with fun for him, he got the one thing everyone wanted but few could get, "freedom".

He got to run around causing chaos anytime he wanted, he got justice for whoever he felt like, he screwed women that he could never have dreamed of and it was just a matter of time before he had that troublesome redheaded beauty kneeling between his legs and choking on his cock, besides most importantly, if he acknowledged his circumstances and bowed to Amelia right now, then wouldn't he do the same thing if he faced another similar situation in future.

No Seth wanted to be free and to be genuinely free he needed to be the strongest, he loved being the strongest, and luckily for him, he had some entity within him that could help him go far on this journey, though he doubted there would still be a journey after today.

Before and during the battle he didn't have an answer to the old man's question, but now he did,

"Nothing".

Sure he had a soulsense, an incredibly strong body and soul, and a higher level of lightening, but since in the end he had lost, then his answer was "Nothing".

With these thoughts in mind, Seth made his decision and now he watched as shock claimed Natasha's face, he didn't even know if she registered his words, but the next thing he knew a hard object was sticking in his chest and his tired body was gladly falling asleep, a sleep he knew he wasn't going to wake up from.

Seth felt his mind sink into total darkness, there was just peace and quiet, his mind floated in tranquility for an undetermined amount of time, and then the next moment, Seth opened his eyes, or more like his consciences regained awareness, because when he looked down at his body, all he saw was a translucent white with some occasional black stuff moving through his now white body, and when he looked around him, he found himself on a long line filled with other people that had just the same translucent body as him.

"Ahhh, so the underworld exists," Seth thought.
