Supreme Harem God System

955 I am Grateful for your help.

“Nux, I need to talk to you,” Rune spoke as she looked into Nux’s eyes.

“Hmm?” Seeing Rune calling him so seriously, Nux tilted his head in confusion.

“Are you going to tell me how much you missed me?” He joked.

“That is not it.” Rune, however, shook her head.

Then, she bowed her head.

“I am grateful for all the help you and your clan provided me for the past 2 months.”

“I did-“

Nux wanted to interrupt but,

“Please let me speak.

It was without a doubt, the most difficult time of my life, I tried to be as strong as I can, however, the fact was, I was vulnerable. You and your clan appeared and became people I could depend on. Soon, you became someone I relied on at every step I took and I am grateful that I met you.”

Then, Rune took out a storage ring and passed it to Nux,

“Of course, nothing I can do would ever repay everything you have done for me, however, please treat this as a token of my appreciation.”

Nux frowned, he then checked what the Storage Ring had and his expression changed,

There were Eight 12 Star Artifacts inside the ring.

Blackheart.

Teleportation Artifact that Willow used, Dimensional Rift.

Healing Artifact that can even heal a dying Saint back to full health, Celestial Heal.

And 5 Arcane Missiles, the missiles that were used to attack the Falconkins.

These were treasures that not even Top level clans had access to. These Artifacts were so valuable and there wasn’t even a Market Price for them. Even for powers with Divine Stage Cultivators supporting them, it would take centuries before they could encounter an opportunity to get one of these artifacts.

For Rune to pass all these Artifacts to him…

“Of course, I have not forgotten the promise I made to you. Give me a month, I will collect the resources required to open the Tower of Trials for Thyra, I won’t go back on my word. You already have that Call Artifact I gave you, once I am done with the preparations to open the trial, I will use that to call you.” Rune added.

Nux narrowed his eyes as he observed Rune.

All these gifts and the promise of opening the Tower of Trials… Rune was being overly generous.

Although this all may seem good on the surface, however, Nux could tell what Rune was thinking.

She was trying to use these Artifacts to ease her heart from the sense of responsibility she felt towards him.

Rune wasn’t a fool, all those jokes Nux cracked and how he tries to tease her at every chance he gets, she could tell what Nux was thinking.

However, right now, Rune wasn’t looking to get into any other relationships, especially when her own were a mess. She trusted Nux, however, at the same time, she feared getting a little too close to him.

These ‘gifts’ of hers were the way to reject Nux’s advances.

“I understand.”

Nux spoke. He understood Rune’s intentions.

Then, he turned around and walked out of Rune’s room.

Seeing him turning around, Rune sighed in relief however, at the same time, she also felt a little strange. It was as if she was losing something.

“Sister.”

Suddenly, Felix called out.

“Hmm?” Rune turned towards her brother.

“Please get some rest, I will return at a later time.” Saying those words, Felix stood up.

Rune frowned in confusion, however, thinking that she actually did need some time alone, she nodded her head.

Felix turned around and left Rune’s room as well. Then, he walked towards his own room, and as he walked in, “Please come out.”

He called.

“What can I do for you, Lord Felix? Why did you tell me to come to your room earlier?” Nux, who appeared in front of Felix questioned with a slight smile on his face.

“My Sister.

I will leave her to you.

Take care of her.”

“Hmm? The deal she made with my Clan was to help her become the Successor, with that achieved, I have no reason to look out for her.”

Nux replied.

“What? Are you giving up already? I thought you were more persistent than that.” Felix teased.𝚘𝐕𝗅xt.𝗇𝓔t

“What could you possibly mean?” Nux feigned ignorance.

Seeing the light smile on Nux’s face, Felix just sighed,

“I do not wish to play these games with you.

Just take care of my sister, will you?”

“You can leave that to me.” In the end, Nux stopped playing games and just chuckled.

Hearing those words, a reassured smile appeared on Felix’s face.

“She would try her best to keep you away from her, fearing that she would start depending on you more and more, however, please do not give in. With what happened, it would be hard for her to get close to someone, even if it is someone she trusts.

But please be patient with my sister,

She has been through a lot…”

Nux observed Felix for a while. He knew Rune was trying to push him away and was trying not to get involved with him. With how emotionally strong she was, the chances of her succeeding were very high and that was concerning. Nux didn’t wish to let Rune go away like that.

He was just wondering how he was going to solve this problem and break Rune’s defenses but to think the answer would appear right in front of him.

A gentle smile appeared on Nux’s face.

“Lord Felix.”

He called out as he placed his hand on Felix’s shoulder.

“W-What is it?”

Felix stuttered, for some reason, he didn’t like that ‘gentle’ smile on Nux’s face.

“You are going to help me, aren’t you?”

“Are you asking a brother to help you get his sister?” Felix questioned back.

“I am.” Nux nodded shamelessly.

“…”

Felix turned silent.

He didn’t think Nux would be this shameless.

He didn’t spend much time with this man after all.

“What do you want me to do…?” Felix questioned as he gave in. There was nothing to consider. He may not know Nux, however, he trusted his sister’s judgment. She chose this man, he was someone she trusted, and with how Nux was always available and got involved in such a risky matter just for his sister’s sake, he knew Nux was the right choice.

Nux’s smile widened.

He could now see ‘the way’.
