Chapter 1344 Reunion [6]

Chapter 1344 Reunion [6]

Iris and the girls got along spectacularly.

While Iris had a reserved and passive personality in terms of relationship matters, but that was only because she was naive in that sense.

She was able to hold her own, and when her pride was challenged, she was able to push back with the same intensity.

She also wasn't someone who expected things from other people. She was with Damien purely because of Damien, not his talents or potential. She didn't have any desire to be pulled up the power ladder by him, rather, she was planning to do so herself before she even fell for him.

This was a trait the girls admired greatly. Independence was important, especially for someone like Damien. They had to be their own people first, because if they simply allowed themselves to be known as "Damien Void's wives," they would never truly be able to support him as they wanted to.

Plus, Iris' love was pure and genuine. It came from her soul and couldn't be shaken by external or internal factors.

That was the most important thing.

The [Void Daughter] title gave them unparalleled talent already, and something like mentality could be trained if need be.

So as long as Iris had a genuine sense of love and loyalty, what else needed to be said?

She was kind, understanding, and didn't try to exert power over the group because of her strength or status. Rather, she willingly put herself in the position of Damien's fourth wife, because just as the girls understood why he came to love her, she understood that they had known him far longer than she had, and their connection with him wasn't something she could compete with yet.

It was just a matter of time, so she didn't fret over it, but she also respected these three women. Since mutual respect was already established, and Iris had a wealth of experience that could contribute to their group, it didn't take long for their conversations to move outside of Damien and evolve into something greater.

Nevertheless, they spent a lot of time without him to create synergy between themselves, and Damien used that time to visit the other people who were waiting for him in the Sanctuary.

First, he went and saw Alucard, Luciel, Commander Huo, Tian Yang, the Golden Dragon Emperor, and the rest of their group. They drank and conversed about the old days, but their conversation was generally cordial.

Afterward, he went and saw Lynn and Elvira to see how the Sanctuary was being managed. It was good to see how everything was connected. Unlike Grand Heavens Boundary, where many forces split ownership of the universe and remained relatively divided, all the main forces of the Sanctuary were of one mind, because they both understood their position and wanted the best for the universe.

Those who wanted to harm the greater good were punished severely. Blasphemous or traitorous thoughts weren't allowed, but freedom also wasn't restricted.

Damien was proud.

He was so extremely proud that he couldn't describe the feeling.

This was what he wanted to see from the start.

When he met her in the Trial World, she was scared and alone. She'd lost everything, yet she was strong enough to continue living despite all the circumstances that tried to end her.

When he took her in, he just wanted her to be happy. When he made the Sanctuary, he originally did it with the sole intention of giving her a place to peacefully stay.

The years passed so fast. So much happened that it was hard to keep track of just how much time passed.

But Damien was over the age of 70 now, and Xue'er, whom he'd taken in back then, was already in her 30s.

His visit to her was just as warm as any other, but the dynamic was a bit different than usual.

Damien didn't really know how to act towards the adult Xue'er, since he couldn't really treat her as a child anymore.

But Xue'er happily created an atmosphere for the two of them, and noticing how her brother/father figure awkwardly tried to accommodate her, seeing how he never changed no matter how much time passed, she didn't have any complaints.

She could see the pride in his eyes.

She smiled, not mentioning it at all as they conversed.

'Really, he gets embarrassed at the stupidest things.'

She knew him better than he'd ever realize, perhaps for the better.

And as he brought her back to the cabin where he was living with his wives, along with the others he considered family like Tian Yang and James Adelaire, the same thought kept repeating in his head.

It really was good to be home.
