Chapter 1918: Revenge Is a Bitch (3)

"You, follow me to your post," a guard pointed at Liora before he started walking away. Liora followed, and soon, they disappeared into the distance.

As they walked, she made sure to pay attention to her surroundings. After all, everything she sees is being modeled inside the tower for her sisters, so they have a better understanding of how to move and where to attack when they start the battle.

The interior of the stronghold is just like a city. It has several buildings, training grounds and, from the look of things, even a market.

’It appears this place is like home to these bastards,’ Liora said to her sisters, who nodded...

’It would soon be burned to the ground with every last one of them,’ Ruby replied.

Although she hasn’t been added to the harem, since she had joined the legion, the tower added her to the Tower connection, so she can talk to anyone having the same connection.

Shit, even Estella, the Second Flame Matriarch, can use it.

’That is for sure. I want them all to burn, and so when the time comes, I will be sure to make them feel my wrath.’ Meiko’s eyes burned with insatiable hunger for flesh and blood.

The only thing keeping her sane is the constant support and words of encouragement from her sisters. However, they all know that when the time comes, she will be like an uncontrollable dragon.

Unfortunately for the people, she was once known as the Nine Dragon Whip Goddess. Her weapon is already dreadful enough; if she herself goes berserk, then who knows what will happen.

’Hey Liora, who are you with right now?’ Selene suddenly asks, causing her sisters to turn and look at her, everyone wondering what she is thinking.

’One guard, middle-aged, not that good-looking, but he is a God Emperor, so stronger physically than me. Why do you ask?’

Selene smiled and replied, ’Nothing much. Just that if we play our cards right, we will be able to pull some information out of him.’

’Well, that is smart, but I don’t know how I can get him to talk, especially since I am in cuffs.’

’That won’t be a problem. All you have to do is pull down your hair and shake your head while a meter from him. Afterwards, wait for two minutes and start talking to him. Be sure to make it appear like you are happy to be there.’

Liora didn’t say much for a few seconds, then she responded, ’I don’t know what you have planned, but why not? It is not like we have much to go on.’

The ladies keep staring at Selene with varied expressions. They wanted an explanation, but didn’t want to ask, so they could only stare at her.

"Do not look at me. I just want her to appear friendly and sexy. Men are easily attracted to ladies with long wavy hair, and Liora has some of the best hair among us, so allow her to work."

"I know there is more to it, but that can wait," Vexthra gave Selene the I-have-my-eyes-on-you look, causing the latter to smile and turn away.

Meanwhile, Liora took a deep breath and quickened her pace. When she was close enough, she exhaled again and then, as if wiping sweat from her forehead, she pulled her hairband and let her wavy hair fall.

She saw the guard miss a step, but he recovered before anyone could notice. Still, Liora wasn’t done. She shook her hair, causing her hair to wave in the air, a sight that made the guard miss another step.

Liora smiled inwardly...

’Selene, I don’t know if I have said this before, but you are a freaking genius.’

Selene smiled and bowed, ’Why, thank you kindly.’

Her sisters narrowed their eyes at her... ’What happened?’ Vexthra asked.

’Let’s just say this bastard will soon sing to me like a bird.’

Liora laughed inwardly, and two minutes later, she sighed, looking around her, "Wow, and here I thought I was walking into a place of suffering. Who knew this place was both beautiful and welcoming?"

She smiled, knowing the guard was looking at her using his divine senses.

"Say, sir, if I want to live here forever and have a comfortable life, what do you recommend I do? I really love this place and want to make it my home."

The guard didn’t answer...

Liora held her smile while pretending to admire her surroundings... This, perhaps, was her way of showing she really wanted to live in this place forever.

"First and only rule, you do as you are told and never question your superiors," the guard suddenly said, causing Liora to smile and nod.

"I will keep this rule to heart."

The guard nodded... "That will do you more good than bad."

After a few more seconds, Liora asked, "Would I be working under your command?"

"Hell no. I am just a guard. I am merely escorting you to your post. That said, you don’t have to ignore my direct commands either."

Liora nodded, "I understand. But too bad I will not be working under you. You look like a good person."

If she were walking side by side with the guard, she would have seen a smile appear on his face... "You are only saying that because you have no idea who you are going to work under."

He paused and turned to look at Liora... "He is one of the Grandmasters."

"Grandmaster?" Liora put on a curious expression. "Is he like the leader of this place?"

"Oh no, and wipe that idea out of your head. You have to know this: in here, we have slaves like you and everyone you came with. Then there are guards like me and everyone you saw when you got here.

"After that, we have Masters, then Grandmasters. After Grandmasters, we have Saints, and then there are the Sages who are right beneath the true rulers of this place, the Monarchs."

"Oh, that is so cool. I feel like everyone is cool, but Monarchs are cooler." Liora let out a giggle.

"Of course, they are cooler. The Five Monarchs are the true powers of this place."

’Bingo...’
