Chapter 752 An Observer
“You think you would become the Greatest in the world by playing by the rules? This Cruel world will eat you up.” Melia questioned with a smile on her face.
“And you think you would become one of the Greatest in the world by always playing only when you are 100% assured of your victory? This Cruel world will eat you up.”
Nux questioned back.
Melia chuckled. 𝞸𝑣𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t
Nux smiled as well.
In the end, Melia took a deep breath,
She looked into Nux’s eyes and then gave in.
“You said it yourself, Nux.
You are special.
And you are,
You can defeat 8 Star Beasts when you are just an Emperor Stage Cultivator.
This is not something I can even dream of doing.
Therefore, I am not going to limit my power to Emperor Stage to fight you just to make it fair, because I know, that I have no chance to win against you.
Just like that, I will not limit my power to Sage Stage either, because, as I said, you can already defeat 8 Star beasts.
As a leader, I cannot foolishly put myself in a position where I am at a disadvantage when I hold the higher ground. However, at the same time, I, as a recruiter, also need to show you who you are going to work with, so bullying you with my strength is not an option either.
So the best I can do here is I will limit my power to Early Great Sage Stage while the two of us duel.
The battle will last for 5 minutes.
If we both stand till the time runs out, I lose.
You defeat me before the time runs out, I lose.
The only way I win is for me to defeat you within 5 minutes.
The conditions will be the same.
The loser joins the winner,
So how about it?
Are you up for it?”
“I have to say, Lady Melia, you are quite shameless.”
Nux glanced at Melia and spoke.
“That just shows you what lengths I am willing to go to achieve my goals,” Melia replied with a small smile on her face.
Nux smiled a little,
Then, he glanced at his wives.
‘What are you going to do?’
Ember questioned using the telepathic connection.
‘I didn’t think I would be revealing my strength so soon. I wanted to prepare a few more things to surprise you all.’
Nux smiled a little.
‘You are going to take her on?’
Amaya frowned.
Nux could defeat 8 Star Beasts, yes, however, Vampires are different.
Not to mention that she was a Great Sage Cultivator and not a Sage, just the fact that she was a Vampire makes it something they should be careful about.
Vampires have myriads of abilities that make them difficult opponents, they are not some simple-minded beasts one could defeat by using a few tactics.
‘Aren’t you being a little too reckless?’
Thyra spoke.
‘I agree, we have no reason to accept this. We can simply turn back and I trust that she would keep her word.’
Felberta spoke as well.
‘I know she will keep her word, we reject the challenge, we will be escorted out of the Kingdom, with proper respect too. However,
Do you really want to miss this out?’
Nux questioned back.
‘A Peak Great Sage Vampire, a noble Vampire at that. One who has goals far higher than her, and the one who is actually serious about them, there is a chance to recruit someone like her in our clan.
Do you really want to miss this out?’
‘It’s not just her coming into our clan, we lose, and it is us who joins her clan.’
‘I will not lose.’
Nux replied as he looked into his women’s eyes.
Looking into his eyes, Amaya frowned a little,
‘You are saying you can defeat her?’
‘I can.’
‘How confident are you?’
‘50%’
‘Are you taking a risk like that when you aren’t even 100% sure?’
Amaya frowned.
‘You think we would get a chance to recruit a Great Sage Cultivator like her every day? We need to take this chance, Amaya. What our Clan lacks the most is a foundation, a Great Sage may not be enough to give us a solid foundation against the actual Strong Clans, but her addition will make us a fearsome force the moment we start.’
‘I think Nux is right.’
Suddenly, Ember spoke up.
‘If we win, we recruit a strong ally. The worse comes to worst, we join her clan. She wants us as her team, not subordinates, so it will not be much different than creating our own clan, we still achieve what we want even if we lose. Also, let’s be honest here,
Even if she wins and creates the clan,
It will end up becoming ours in the future anyways.’
A meaningful smile appeared on Ember’s face as she glanced at Nux.
‘I do not have any plans like that.’
Nux rejected.
‘Mhm, I trust you.’
Ember nodded.
‘Nux, I can already see it in your eyes. You like that woman. Don’t try to fool me, I know you were charmed by her for a second.’ Felberta spoke up as well.
‘And I was charmed by Eisheth too, and it was definitely for more than a second.’ Nux replied.
‘Mhm, I understand.
Let’s talk about this later, shall we?’
Felberta smiled.
‘You guys don’t believe me, do you?’
Nux narrowed his eyes.
The women all looked into Nux’s eyes and,
‘We do not.’
‘A collective response huh.
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ I feel like you guys have been doing it quite often now,’
Nux snorted.
The women just smiled.
“If you are done looking at each other and showing different expressions on your face, then can I hear your answer? I feel excluded.”
Nux and his wives glanced at Melia and then, Nux smiled,
“Get ready to join our Clan, Melia.”
“A shift from Lady Melia to Melia, huh.”
“I can’t keep calling my future Clan member Lady Melia, now can I?” Nux smiled.
“Heh, that’s good, I wouldn’t want my first Clan Members to call me Lady Melia as well.”
Melia chuckled.
Nux chuckled back.
“Alright then, come with me.”
“We are fighting right now?”
Nux frowned.
“Hmm? Of course not. We will be fighting a week later.”
“Then what are we going to do now?”
“I am not planning to let you run away, once you lose, you guys will be mine.”
A small, playful smile appeared on Melia’s face.
For someone who barely showed any expressions on her face, this look was quite a heart flutterer.
Nux was slightly taken aback.
“So we will be signing a contract in front of an Observer.”
“An Observer?”
“Yes, an Observer.
You might have heard about him,
Orpheus Bloodheart, my father, and the Head of the Bloodheart House.”
