Chapter 956 Chat
Returning Maria Seraph to the rest of her Soultrait Fragment had been very awkward. He didn't want to make a scene, but it wasn't like Michael had much of a choice. Of course, Michael could have waited until the meeting was over before meeting up with Maria separately, but he didn't want anyone—specifically Alice—to misunderstand the situation.
Maybe his reaction was hurtful to Maria, but Michael couldn't be overly considerate toward everyone. That would consume too much energy and cause more chaos than one may think.
Still, he had to hide a smile when he heard a faint whisper from the back. Alice was talking to her mother, probably thinking no one could hear them. What Alice didn't take into consideration was that Michael's senses were already on the same level as those of a Divine Lifeform.
"I...might like him..." clearly reached Michael's ears. He heard Alice and had to suppress, showing that he had heard her. Grinning like a fool would expose him and be extremely rude toward Maria Seraph, who was bawling her eyes out before him.
Giuliana Seraph looked at the last bits of the Mark of Fate resting in her daughter's hands and looked back at Michael.
"Thank you for returning the Mark of Fate. I don't know what you had to do to remove it, but it looked painful. It's unfortunate that you don't consider yourself a suitable vessel for the Mark of Fate or...that you are in love with Alice Zenovia, but I hope you will never regret your decision. There is no going back," she said.
Michael nodded knowingly, "I know, and I do not wish to go back. I will be fine. This is the only right choice for me and my loved ones." Giuliana didn't respond. She sighed deeply, embraced her daughter tightly, and left the room with a comment toward Kraft Viton.
"Since Michael is back, we will postpone the rest of today's meeting to a later point." VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels
Michael shrugged, "Are we going to install the Portal Relic now, or do you want to stand around doing nothing?" He teased his old master, who looked around knowingly. The other participants of the Tritan meeting walked up to Michael and cleared their throats.
"Is it possible to delay the installation of the Portal Relic for a while?" Someone Michael couldn't remember asked. It was a powerful powerhouse, given the power level of the Tritan Alliance, but Michael had a hard time recalling that guy.
"Why do you want to delay it? It's not like it will take weeks to install the Portal Relic."
The man paled a little under Michael's intense scrutiny, but he gathered his courage and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment as he asked, "We are all curious what the cosmos outside the Tritan Alliance looks like. Zeke told us a little about the Altors Union and the Nest, but he left out way too many pieces of information. He didn't reveal anything while bragging about the vastness of the Altors Union and the powerhouses of the Nest."
Michael raised an eyebrow and saw dozens of High Awakened staring at him.
"Everyone here wants to know what it looks like outside the Tritan Alliance?"
"And what you have been doing to grow this strong. I would love to know what you have to go through in the last few years," the Berserker Chieftain added with a smile.
Michael returned the smile and nodded.
"That sounds like a plan. Let's hold a little history lesson about Michael Fang's life." He chuckled and gestured to everyone to take a seat.
"This might take a while."
