Chapter 24: Certain Desire

Mary always thought that if there was a man who could be Erza's lover, that man was luckier than all the m in the world.

How could she not be, Erza was so beautiful as a woman, had such incredible style that it was mesmerizing to look at from anywhere. She was a living treasure.

And most importantly, she had immse wealth and power.

A man could not ask for more if he had a lover like her.

Plus, she is young and chaste, having never be touched by any man. This is certainly an added value.

"What if the man is from the Rothschild Family or he turns out to be a woman?" Mery asked again.

"Hmph, all the m from Rothschild are not attractive in the slightest." Erza suddly snorted.

"I'll make him a slave if he's a man from that family. And if he's not a man, he'll also be a slave."

She didn't seem to be joking at all wh she said that.

Mery had no doubt that she was prepared for any consequces.

War might not matter for the best source of power for her.

"It's just that the city is so big. We can't find that person if he doesn't give up his power," Mery said, looking up at the Paris sky which was quite beautiful for tonight.

Erza also looked up at the sky, closing her red eyes for a momt before showing a faint smile.

"No, we will meet tonight," she said, surprising Mery.

She wondered how Erza would find that person.

"Jane, she's also in this city, and I'm sure she's connected to the owner of Zeus' power," Mery added.

"Miss Jane!" Mery's eyes looked interested.

Jane and Erza were actually very close frids wh they were young.

They only saw each other rarely since they became adults, only occasionally during certain evts or chatting through video calls.

Because of the familiarity, Erza can vaguely sse Jane's presce wh they are in the same area ev if the latter does not use her powers.

Wh he saw Isabel, his heart was beating slightly, but it wasn't because of nervousness or anything like that, it was more like excitemt, excitemt to get something.

David of course immediately understood that Zeus' power aroused his desire to possess that woman, who before this was the most beautiful woman he oft saw because they were in the same class.

That desire only became stronger with time, and perhaps it would turn into his power wh he got what he wanted.

David tried to calm himself down and th looked at Jane who didn't seem to notice anything.

It was the same as last time, but David felt that Jane was not unconscious.

Since becoming a Spiritual Being, he felt a perception that was far above ordinary humans. Ev ordinary humans would sometimes realize if their partner was observing someone else.

Jane could not be unconscious, she might just be pretding to be unconscious.

"Jane!" David called out to her as the car started moving.

In his opinion this was something that needed to be talked about or it would result in serious problems like unimportant drama.

Jane looked at David for being called, but she didn't say anything.

"I think there's something I need to explain to you," David said.

This time, Jane frowned.

After that, she suddly raised her hand, as if signaling David to stop talking.

She th picked up a piece of paper and a p, somewhat confusing David.

Appartly, she drew something on the paper, a heart shaped like love.

As David wondered what she was trying to do, she suddly crossed out on the side of the picture, forming a line from top to bottom, which th caused the image of the heart to split into two.

However, since the line was on the side of the picture, there appeared to be one large space and one small space.

The large space covers 90% of the image while the small space covers only %.

After doing all that, she wrote a word in the large space, (Jane!)

"Keep this," she said, placing the paper on David's thigh.
