Chapter 40 Raven’s Past[1]

Name:The Extra's Dominance Author:
[Raven's POV]

"So you're saying that, there are perverts lingering around my daughter...?"

Clifford asked as he emits a rather scary aura, but my expression didn't change as I already expected his reaction, and I'm used to this kind of pressure after meeting strong people several times.

"To be exact, around Eve, Adelle, and Aoi."

I replied.

"The group is knows as the [The Followers of the 3 Goddesses], and almost all of the members of it are insane perverts."

I added, stimulating Clifford's anger toward the group.

"I'll erase those bastards in existence if they ever lay a hand to my daughter."

Clifford declared with a frown.

I smiled internally at his reaction, then I opened my mouth.

"I can remove their existence before they even touch your daughter."

I said in a suggesting tone. Though what I'm saying about the perverted fans of Eve is true, they wouldn't be able to touch Eve so Clifford will not know their existence.

Thus they will remain in the story for a very long time while doing shits.

But I hate annoying things, and they're annoying, so I'll destroy them before they started doing more shitty things.

"The fact that you're saying this to me only means that you have something you want me to do."

Clifford said looking at me with all knowing eyes.

I shrugged and opened my mouth.

"Of course, do you think I can erase their group alone? I don't have the strength to do so, I also don't have a strong background."

Clifford looked at me and let out a sigh.

"I think you're strong enough, you can just make your spirit to attack them, she's <A+> rank, right?... Levina, I mean."

He then said.

I shook my head at Clifford's words.

"I can't reveal about Levina to the world yet."

Clifford looked at me for a while without talking, but in the end he opened his mouth.

"Fine, what do you want me to do?"

Clifford asked with a rather displeased tone, who wouldn't? He's being used by a young man openly.

I smiled before casually speaking.

"I need a safe place where a family of four can live."

I then stated.

Clifford frowned not understanding my intention.

Leaning my body a bit forward, I talked again.

"It doesn't need to be grand, I just need it to be comfortable and safe."

I added then after that, I explained to him what I will use the place for.

"Okay, I understand."

Clifford nodded his head and agreed without hesitation after hearing my explanation.

"I'll give you a suitable place tomorrow as soon as possible."

He added.

"Normally I'll say you can take your time but I need it immediately so, I'll count on you."

I replied.

"You're doing a pretty risky plan huh."

Clifford added looking at me weirdly, he seems a bit worried.

With a carefree smile...

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

I confidently said.

Clifford then smiled too and stood up.

"I would never do things like this in the first place if it wasn't for my daughter, and if it wasn't you who is requesting it."

He said looking at me with calm eyes.

I tilted my head and stood up too.

"Will you let me marry your daughter then?"

I jokingly said.

"You already have 2 exceptional lovers and still want the most beautiful girl in the world? You're so greedy."

Clifford, understanding that I was joking, replied jokingly too.

"So you had people investigate about me."

I then said back.

"You're near my daughter and we're gonna be business partner soon. What I did is normal, don't get me wrong, I'm still thankful for you about the [Mysterious Woodland] incident."

Clifford then replied as we walk together side by side and left the private room.

Only him ate and ordered by the way, though watching him eat in front of me while I'm not kinda made me hungry, I still didn't order anything.

"Yeah, it's normal, I would have think you're an idiot if you didn't do so."

I replied calmly, I already know he's gonna investigate about me.

It was then Clifford stopped walking, I stopped too and looked back at him.

I tilted my head as if asking why did he stop, then soon he opened his mouth with a serious face.

"But I'm serious, you can't have my daughter."

This time, Clifford's voice and tone are scary and he's emitting a strong pressure.

<Monarch's Presence> activated on its own to protect me from the pressure.

I frowned and scratched my head because of frustration.

"Eve is annoyed with me for some reasons that I don't know, so what you're thinking probably wouldn't happen."

I replied while waving my hands, to signal Clifford to stop from worrying too much.

Clifford looked at me doubtfully, but soon withdraw his presence.

I did the same.

"Why is my daughter annoyed with you?"

Clifford asked.

"Don't know, ask her yourself."

I replied.

Then Clifford and me continued to walk silently.

"..."

"..."

"But seriously don't touch my d–"

"For God's sake! Please stop! I already know!"

I exclaimed out of annoyance as Clifford just wouldn't stop.

'Fucking doting father...'

I mumbled inwardly while frowning.

....

After leaving the restaurant and parting ways with Clifford, I went to a nearby hotel and rented a room, then that's where I spent the rest of the day.

Training, of course.

***

<4:30 A.M>, Raven woke up, sleeping in an unfamiliar place made him wake up much earlier.

Like every morning, Raven washed his face, cooked, ate breakfast, brushed his teeth, and of course took a bath.

After that, he cooked some dishes that can replenish one's stamina quickly, and packed it in a big man-made artifact lunch box that keeps the food inside fresh and hot.

After that, Raven went to the training facility provided by the hotel to their customers to the basement.

The training facility just looks like a big gym, bulging men that seems like body builders are inside and lifting weights or running om a treadmill, it's filled with nothing but training equipments.

And the design was kept as simple as possible, not that Raven mind or care.

Raven then trained there for 6 hours, he just stopped when it's time to eat or when he's drinking potions to replenish his stamina and mana.

Raven is continuously circulating his mana while training and putting a debuff on himself to make his training more fruitful.

And when Raven recieved a mail from Clifford. He left the training facility, but he still have the weights on his wrists and ankles, weighting 75 kilograms each.

Ignoring the weird gazes he's receiving, Raven went back to the room he rented, took a bath again, and after dressing up nicely he checked out from the hotel.

He then rode a rapid train and his destination is Idya City, 4 cities away from the Azeas City, where the Lunar Academy is.

After an hour of of travelling, Raven reached his destination, the Idya City.

It's far from the center of the human domain and rather near the corner of the human domain.

"This city looks completely different from the cities I've been before."

Raven mumbled after scanning the surrounding area where the rapid train dropped him.

He would have believe it if someone said that this city is a the black market.

There's a weird atmosphere lingering in the place and people on it.

And there's also some beggars.

"I didn't see any of them near the center of the city, guess they still exist huh."

Raven said as he walk, never did he saw a beggar after coming in his novel until now.

Idya city have fewer buildings and structures but have more population than the other cities, also cities that is away from Azeas City have more crime rates because heroes isn't distributed equally in the human domain, especially there are few heroes in the cities near the corner of the human domain.

As Raven is walking, he recieved a lot of gazes, and it's not a good kind of gazes, the beggars are eyeing his clothes and the watch(V.D) he's wearing.

'Guess I need to be careful huh.'

Raven thought and continued to walk, he is following the map the system provided him.

It was then, when he was walking in a narrow and dark path between the buildings, as he thought it would be a shorter to go that way.

"!"

Raven sensed an attack coming from his back, he immediately looked back.

Clang!

And saw a iron pipe near his face, his eyes widened and luckily, [Celestria]'s <Auto Defence> activated.

'It means the attack contained hostility.'

Raven's eyes grew cold upon realizing this.

"Huh? You blocked it."

The attacker then spoke in a surprised tone.

"You became a bit stronger huh, Raven."

Raven frowned as he heard his name from his attacker's mouth.
