Chapter 285: It’s Him

’Even for a genius, it should have taken more than one day. Yet, he did it in just half an hour?’ Logan was shocked beyond words.

"Uncle, did I do it right?" Spade’s voice brought Logan back from his thoughts. "You didn’t just do it right, Spade, you just nailed it. Now let’s go farther. You have to attract those colorful glowing particles toward you. But not all over your body. You have to attract them to a single spot."

Spade again gave that goofy look at Logan. Logan couldn’t help but smile helplessly. "How about this? Close your eyes again. And do what I said.

"Alright, Uncle. I like this very much." He happily raised his right hand for a high five. Logan played along with him.

Spade then closed his eyes again as Logan explained step-by-step what he had to do. Soon Spade was able to attract those glowing particles to a single spot.

In Spade’s mind, he could visualize a small dot in his body. As he focused, that dot grew bigger and bigger in his imagination and soon looked like a huge dried water body. The colorful particles were actually filling the dried water body.

Hours passed.

The night passed by, and the next morning came, yet Spade sat like that in Logan’s bed without moving an inch. He was totally engrossed in drawing those colourful particles and filling the dried water body.

Logan didn’t disturb him. He sat beside him like a guardian without sleeping the whole night, too.

’He felt mana only after half an hour. Let’s see how long it takes to awaken his first planetary cell.’ Logan mused inwardly.

But just as the silence was becoming deeper and deeper...

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Logan looked toward the door and walked toward it. The moment he opened it, he found Lamia standing there, glaring at him.

"Master, how could you do this to me?"

Logan was taken aback by that question. "W-what did I do?"

"How long have we been together, Master? Centuries. Yet you never even let me touch you. But when it came to Renata, you let her KISS you? Why? Why Master? Am I not good-looking enough? Am I not close to you? You said you cared about me. Then how? How could you do this?"

Logan was at a loss for words for a moment. After a few seconds, he shook his head. "Drop the act, Lamia. You are fooling no one with that."

Lamia pouted and slipped her arm around Logan’s. "I don’t know anything. You let her kiss you. So now it’s my turn."

"Sssssss!" Logan put a finger over his lips and gestured for her to stop. Then he pointed at Spade. "Have some shame, Lamia. A kid is inside. What will he think if he hears this?" He said in a hushed voice.

"He will think you did injustice to me." She said again with a pout.

With so much noise, Spade couldn’t focus anymore. "Uncle, is it morning now?" When he opened his eyes, he was shocked to see the sunlight spilling through the windows. "Didn’t I come here in the evening? I was sitting like this the whole night?"

"Yeah. And that’s totally normal."

"No, Uncle. Papa will be worried if he doesn’t find me. Sorry, I will have to leave for now." Saying that, he slipped from the bed like a monkey climbing down from a tree.

"Bye, uncle. Bye, aunty." He said while leaving the room hurriedly. The moment he did, Lamia shut the door behind her. "Master, now no one is here. You have no more excuse to say no."

"Listen, I didn’t allow her to kiss me," Logan said while stepping back. "She tricked me."

"Then, allow me to trick you too."

"You have gone mad. What will people think if they learn that the great Serpent Princess is acting like this?"

"And you have stayed cruel for a long time, Master. What will people think if they learn you have been rejecting me for such a long time? It’s time to be less stubborn."

She stepped closer. Just as she was about to make her move, the door burst open.

"Lamia, why are you disturbing Master so early in the morning? Don’t you care about his rest?" Renata strode in.

"Huh!" Lamia spat. "You took your chances, and now you’re talking about his rest? Dream on."

"What chances? Master allowed me to kiss because he prefers me more than you."

"Bullshit!" Lamia was angry.

"If you think Master likes you more, then he should be kissing you. Not you forcing Master."

The temperature dropped. A chilling aura emanated from Lamia’s body.

Renata wasn’t about to back down either. A fiery aura exploded from her. Not enough to damage the room, but enough to fight against Lamia’s aura.

Lamia clenched her teeth as the aura intensified. Renata pushed forward as well.

"That’s enough." Suddenly, Logan spoke. Instantly, their aura was snuffed out. "We are here to help. Not cause trouble. Come on, you two. Stop acting childish."

Just before Logan could say something, there was an urgent knock on the door.

"Mr. Logan. Your Highness expects your presence in the courtroom if possible. The sooner the better. Something bad has happened." A knight said hurriedly though he didn’t forget to bow and show proper respect.

"Coming." Logan said quickly and walked out. He looked relieved that he could leave the room.

"Master!" Lamia raised her hand to call him back but Logan was already out of sight. She stomped her foot in frustration.

Renata smirked. "Thought you could catch up to me? Dream on."

"Just you wait." Lamia said that and stormed outside the room.

Meanwhile, in the royal court, the King was pacing back and forth before the throne. Lilith was seated in a high seat, her expression dark. Mercer stood behind her.

"Do you think he will agree to help?" The King asked.

"He will." Lilith answered.

"And he can really ensure our victory?"

"If there is just one person who can, it’s him."
