Chapter 414: I gained A Brother
"Will you stop looking at me like that? Just look around, if you think my words do not make any sense, do the surroundings make…." Max asked as he looked at Namen.
Honestly, he wasn't surprised that she didn't believed her in the first attempt.
Namen looked at him, it was hard to believe honestly….she had never heard of anything about Demons or the Ancient Families….she wasn't even treated with much regard in her House. Even though she was beautiful, the fact that she picked up a hammer to craft equipment instead of uprising strength led to all kinds of things being told to her….
But, there were so many influential figures from the younger generation around Max. And that too from different families. Some on Association's side, some on Union's and some where neutral….It would be hard to think that would gather around to prank her...
"You said that your opinion on your own marriage wasn't being considered. Do you still want to marry that guy?"
Namen had a complicated look on her face. She didn't want to marry so early to begin with not to mention she didn't even know him well…
And now...the guy turned out to be the enemy of humanity….won't her family be in? trouble if they established an alliance with them…
"I will not beat around the bush. You shouldn't marry him. We are going to kill him, so you will end up as a widow soon…." Max said with a calm look.
Namen opened her mouth to say, but she didn't know how to respond.
Hell! What was there to even think about now?
Like in hell would she marry him!!!
"Actually, we might have to exterminate the entire Tempest House…." Max said as looked at her from the corner of her eyes.
Namen's expression did flicker on that.
"You can't kill everyone just for someone's fault. You didn't even know if everyone from their House is bad…."
Obviously Max didn't have power to kill them. But, it was a good thing that she didn't pay attention to tiny details…
"Yeah, I am friends with Tyler…he is a good guy…" Max said as he sighed.
"Then…'' Namen asked nervously.
''What could I possibly do with him? He lacks ambition...if only he could succeed his family and take control…" Max muttered as he shook his head.
"You just need to ask him to do that….why don't you pull him to your side?" Namen asked, looking at Max.
"Do you think it's that easy? I don't have anything against him….if he refuses, it's only death for him….you think I would be able to get away after killing him that easily?"
"I have never seen him going out of the Academy….I don't have any chance.." Max replied as he shook his head.
"Besides, there is a bigger problem. I don't know what kind of fetish he has but he keeps eyeing his brother's fiance...he sure has a lot of ambition in this category…" Max said with a meaningful smile.
Namen's face started to heat up and she felt extremely embarrassed and a bit angry as well. She really wanted to find a hole here.
"It seems you have noticed it as well…"? Max asked with a smile seeing that she didn't deny him.
"Of course I will notice. He keeps stalking me so brazenly….he even changed his course to match mine and his eyes are always on me…even a dense person would realize it…" Namen retorted.
"Wait? Aren't you disgusted? Don't tell me you have a brother-in-law fetish as well?'' Max asked as he took a step back.
"Y-You!! I am not a pervert…'' Namen gnashed her teeth in anger as she glared at Max.
"Fine, I will take your words for now." Max said and when she calmed down, he began once again, "So you don't like him?"
Namen looked at Max, "He is just a childhood friend, it's not that I hate him...but I won't say I love him or anything…I mean I would say we are good friends...if he stops his stalking habit and be more like a normal person..."
"But I heard a childhood friend never loses a love battle?" Max asked with a smile only to receive a glare.
"Anyway….that's a problem...I was planning to let you honey trap him…." Max muttered but when he felt her piercing gaze, he immediately raised his hand "Obviously, I am not gonna force you to do that…"
"Then...What are you gonna do?" Namen asked.
"How about I adopt you as my sister?" Max asked with a smile.
"..."
"I am not joking…" Max said a smile leaked out his face, an evil one.
Namen couldn't help but shiver looking at him. She had a bad feeling about it.
"I can refuse...right?" Namen asked.
"Of course you can…'' Max replied with a smile.
A look of relief appeared on Namen's face only to be destroyed by Max's next words, "Obviously we would have to stick to the initial plan of killing them then…"
Namen clenched her fist, how was this allowing her a choice...she was being blackmailed..
"You don't have some kind of sister fetish, right?"
Max's face twitched as he was allowed to have a taste of his own medicine.
"No I don't, I am not interested in you….in fact, I already have a marriage partner much prettier than you…" Max said as raised her palm towards her.
"You sure must have fallen in love that you can't even see things properly….I am not overestimating myself but there aren't many who are prettier than me in the whole capital…" Namen said with a proud look.
"I dare you to say that in front of Lisa…" Max said with a smirk. He had intentionally revealed it.
"Lisa?" Namen frowned, but next moment her eyes went wide.
Max knew that she would have felt uncomfortable with it, they were strangers to each other after all. But if she knew that he had someone then it would be reassuring…obviously he would have to ask her to shut her mouth regarding this matter.
As for why he suggested to let him act as his sister even if they were not actually one...well if he carried out his plan without that, he was afraid that Tyler would get jealous or think he was blackmailing Namen, and his plan might backfire....he really didn't want too much trouble if he could avoid it....
"You aren't joking right?" Namen asked as she looked at him. She couldn't believe that Lisa and him....everyone knew that the Mage King was had a daughter complex....there were rumors that he would marry her as late as possible...
"Just ask her later, tell her I told you….and don't go telling others about it….my father in law won't be happy…" Max said with a smile while using Mage Kings as a threat.
"But what if you plan to make a harem…" Namen said as she looked at him.
Max looked at her with wide eyes. Was this girl really being real here? Which era was this? I mean it was indeed a bit enticing but still….you can't do those kind of things….
If he had other lovers, surely he would have to give the same right to her partner then. Otherwise how was it fair?
Like in hell he would do something like that…
That's the reason he was going nuts thinking about Andirel, he couldn't even stop her or get away from her if he found someone else…
'Don't worry, I don't plan to have another lover….as for your wife...I am sure she wouldn't mind…I assure you...'
Andriel's voice rang in his mind.
'Why does she seem more excited than she usually is?' Max thought inwardly.
'You reasoning is twisted as usual….lets say I fell for you and then opted for someone else? Will you still say the same thing without any jealousy?' Max asked.
'Of course, I struggled so much to find you...as long as you accept me...it doesn't matter if you have another 1000 girls…' Andriel said with a loving tone.
'You really never fail to amaze me…' Max sighed.
'It isn't that weird in the upper dimension…' Andriel replied.
'You are just making a big deal about harem. You will be shocked if you find how Succubuses live…even I can't help but feel that it's a bit too much....do you want to know?' She further continued.
Max didn't dare to….he had a bad feeling about it and hence refused…even Andriel said it's too much, how could he possibly handle it….
Besides wasn't this upper dimensions....
'Are you sure it isn't a cultivation world up there?' Max asked, he was really starting to doubt this upper dimension.
'What is that?' Andriel asked.
'Do people fly on swords?' Max asked.
'Yeah it's fairly easy…' Andriel replied.
Max sighed. It indeed seemed to be a cultivation world…
'You just need to use spirit energy to control a sword. You can do it too…'
'Oh!' Max realised that it was indeed possible.
'Anyway this discussion is off…' Max knew that it was useless to argue with her.
'You can just accept me if you have that much problem...it will solve everything….' Andriel didn't let go of that opportunity.
'Yeah, I might as well give it a thought…'
Andriel, "...''
'I only said I will give it a thought...what is that silence for?'
'Andriel?'
'Andriel?'
'What happened? How did she faint?' Leviathan's voice rang in his mind.
Max, '...'
It seemed he did something unnecessary….
On the other side, Namen looked at Max and finally came to a decision...
"What do I need to do as your sister…" She asked as she glared at him.
"Nothing….just call me brother and when Tyler is around. You need to be an obedient little sister whenever he is around…."? Max shifted his attention back to her.
"Let's go with the story, that I helped you...and you admire my skills and decided to call admire me as an elder brother...''
"Only that?'' Namen asked.
"Disappointed?'' Max looked at her with a smile.
''Why would I be?!!" She glared at him, but she didn't know just how to react to the situation, 'Ah! Let's just say, I gained a brother...'
And the deal was done….
…
Tempest Mansion, Capital…
Tyler had woken up due to the commotion going around in the Mansion, his father had left with his guards and the light were still up.
It was a big noisy with whole mansion on alert.
As he was about to go back to sleep, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
He looked around but didn't find anything odd. It would be far in the future that he would realise that today was the day he was cursed. It was his doomsday…
