Chapter 1281 Are you looking down on me?
Another 2 months passed by, these two months, the only thing Nux did was spend time with his wives and laze around. He did train, however, with Vyriana gone, the intensity of his training was a lot less than normal.
Honestly, he simply wanted to make up for all the time he and his wives had been working till now, honestly, ever since the whole Devil thing, they didn't really get much time for themselves so Nux decided to take it out.
Not only that, he also needed some time before he went after the Black Order again. The entire organization was currently on a high alert, so the number of things Nux could currently do was limited.
One of the most logical solutions was to wait.
He was also considering going to Faustina and Caesar or the 'bigger pond' as they call it. However, he was soon reminded that once he left, he wouldn't be able to come by.
Joining the Ancestral Order came with its own restrictions, even if Faustina, one of the Order Leaders took him in as her son, Nux still couldn't look past these rules.
"I see you have started to let go. What is it? Have you finally become the strongest? Conquered the world, did you? I am disappointed that you didn't share such a major thing with me." While Nux was lazing on the bed with his eyes closed, he heard a voice.
In an instant, all his laziness washed away and he jolted up.
"V-Vyriana."
He spoke with a wry smile on his face.
Obviously, he wasn't dumb enough to not sense the sarcasm in Vyriana's tone. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
"Y-You are back."
"I guess I do understand your perspective. Once you lose the bet, you will be stuck with me, it is a good thing that you took some time to rest." Vyriana nodded to herself.
Again, Nux sensed her sarcasm, this time, however, he didn't stay silent.
"You got it all wrong, Vyriana.
I was simply waiting for you."
The Dragon Woman narrowed her eyes.
"I didn't want to break through and make it unfair for my Star. After all, I don't plan on giving you any excuse to back off from our bet."
"You think I will go back on my words?" Vyriana questioned, her golden eyes shining threateningly.
"You think I would take any chances when I have the chance to seal those precious lips of yours with mine?" Nux questioned back as he licked his lips with a seductive look on his face.
The pervert didn't even bother hiding the lust in his eyes and was looking at Vyriana with the same crazy possessive eyes he looks at his wives with.
Vyriana didn't say anything.
She knew winning in a battle of words was impossible, she just made sure to make a mental note, no matter what this pervert said, he would soon face the consequences once he loses the bet and she was allowed to tortu- train him.
"Anyways, since you are here, does that mean the two of them are ready?" Suddenly Nux questioned with a curious look on his face.
"They are still training," Vyriana replied.
Nux frowned, but then, "They will be done soon, so prepare the Trials."
"I understand."
Nux nodded.
At the same time, inside the Eternity Empire's Hall, Empress Aurelian glanced at the man walking towards her with a smile on her face and,
"It is nice to meet you, friend."
"Eeh? I didn't know the two of us were close enough for you to call me your friend, Lady Aurelian." Nux smiled.
"Come on, don't act so distant. I opened the Trial Towers for you, didn't I?"
"Indeed you did, after getting 1.5 times the required amount from me, it was indeed quite generous of you."
"I was planning to return that amount, it was merely a joke I played."
"You are quite shameless, Lady Aurelian. I am seeing you in a completely new light."
"I guess you are rubbing me off." Aurelian chuckled but then,
"I need you to open the Human Trials again." Nux directly said what he came here for. "Again?" Aurelian was taken aback, however,
"I have the 1.5 times the required resources with me, you simply need to deal with the rest of the things."
"I cannot do that."
Suddenly, Aurelian shook her head.
"What...?"
Nux frowned in confusion.
"I said that I cannot do it. Well... I can, but I have a condition."
"Are you trying to raise the price?" Nux furrowed his brows.
"No, of course not. I will even open it for free if you want me to, but before that, I have a condition."
"What is it?"
"An Alliance."
"Hmm?"
"Form an Alliance between The Empire of Eternity and ExceedoGenesis. If you do that, then not only today, whenever you wish to open the Human Trials, I will do it for you, without taking anything in return."
Aurelian spoke as she glanced at Nux with bright eyes, but then,
"You already made your stance clear before, didn't you? Why change sides now?"
"Do you really have to force me to say it?" Aurelian stared at Nux with a deadpan look on her face.
However, seeing no chance in Nux's expression, she sighed and,
"I was wrong, I made the wrong decision and now I wish to correct my mistake."
"You decided to stay neutral when I was in trouble and now you want to ally with my clan once I came out as the victor?"
Nux then leaned forward towards the Empress and,
"Aurelian Stillwalker, are you looking down on me?"
