Chapter 27: I am Rich!

<Ding! Ding! Ding!>

<Hidden Quest: Bonds of Steel and pleted>

<Cassandra's Harem Slut title has been upgraded to Harem Lover>

<A Bond of Steel has been formed. The host no longer has to doubt Cassandra's loyalty>

<Harem Lover (title): Harem Lovers provide a passive boost of 1,000 ero points per day. And unlike Harem Sluts, will only lose their title if abandoned by the host>

<Hidden Quest: One-Man pleted>

A series of system prompts echoed in Mithras' mind. He ignored them, focusing on Cassandra who silently sobbed on his shoulder.

"Here..." With her face still pressed on Mithras' chest, Cassandra raised her right hand, revealing a crystal-blue card that shimmered with dazzling energies.

Without hesitation, Mithras took the mysterious card, his eyes widening at the astronomical reserves of Sid he sensed inside.

"A Sid Card with a balance of...2.2 million crystals! Rich! I AM RICH!" Like a greedy little goblin that had just gotten its hands on a treasure chest, Mithras stroked the crystal card on his cheek, forgetting about Cassandra for a moment.

The average price of a five-bedroom mansion in the capital was about 30,000 ener crystals!

The average price of a luxurious carriage was 5.000!

Ten for an ordinary slave, 100 a month for a skilled bodyguard! But he had 2.2 million! This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

He was rich!

Those were the entities that stood at the summit of the Spiritual World. What could a woman of that level be doing in the Blood Smelting Kingdom?

"That's the problem. I can't tell. She's using a powerful mantra to cover her true race—a mantra that I can't see through. It doesn't help that Honoria too seems to be in the good graces of a Superior Being." Mithras dropped another bomb.

"Honoria? That doesn't make any sense. Under the eyes of Vel'Asha, where and how would she have gotten the opportunity to contact a Superior Being?" As Cassandra reached this point, the matriarch spun 180, looking in the direction of the royal palace.

"No way..."

"You can smell it? Glad to see those years of tempering in my Wrathful God Fire weren't for nothing.

Now you see why we need to make a bold move? The royal family of this nation is a lot crazier than we imagined. And if we don't prepare for war, we will all be lambs and pork chops when they're ready to light the kingdom on fire.

So let's strike while the iron is hot and secure the haul that will guarantee our future.

There's no need to be afraid. Now that my powers have awakened fully, our enemies will be playing the game of life at nightmare difficulty," Mithras said with a gentle smile, and after storing his Sid Card, pulled Cassandra into a kiss.

Meanwhile, in the Queen Mother's chambers, Vel'Asha sat on a scarlet and gold throne, stroking a snow-white cat while Gaiseric knelt at her feet.

"Mother, I'm confused. You've always been a decisive and efficient woman. So why did you not help me kill Cassandra right there? Why are you giving her a way out? That woman went from the ninth level of Inner Accumulation to the eighth level of Great Expansion, crossing a full rank...in one night!

Who is to say that in three days, she won't be at the Golden Palace? I know you can't kill her because of the curse but you could have just—" Barely had Gaiseric reached this point that the Queen Mother's grip on her cat tightened, and with a series of loud shrieks, the feline burst into flames, turning into a dark vulture.

"SILENCE!" Vel'Asha snapped at her son, and aware that he should never challenge his mother when she lost her temper, Gaiseric prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to look up.

For the split of a second, Vel'Asha's dark hues turned into a yellow pair of feline eyes. Gaiseric didn't see this—not that he would have dared to mention it.

"I don't care about Cassandra. There is something horribly wrong going on here, and I will get to the bottom of it. If the secret behind Cassandra's rise can help us save your father, that's the priority.

So Gaiseric, don't forget the big picture," Vel'Asha explained, and with a wave of her hand, sent Gaiseric out of her chambers.
