Chapter 162 Chapter 162 - The Nightshade Patriarch
"Why do we need to regroup tonight?" asked Aiden, unsure about the reasons that she had made such a decision.
When he received a look of confusion from Wu Lan, Aiden was even more confused as it seemed that the reason was really obvious.
"Well, so that we can spend more time together? Isn't that obvious?" she said while looking at him with lust in her eyes.
Li Yang who had just heard that, literally couldn't believe it. Just how crazy was his wife?
He started to understand why she had never been part of the war against the Plum Blossom Sect despite her strength.
He had always found it weird, but he now understood why. This girl was simply crazy in her head, there was no way that anyone could reason with her, especially when the subject would be Li Feng.
"Um, I'm not sure if that's the best decision, what do you think Li Yang?" said Aiden, once again, asking Li Yang for his opinion which was uncommon of Li Feng.
"You're asking me?" he asked, not believing what he had just heard.
'There has to be something wrong here, who is that man?' thought Li Yang whose suspicions only started to grow.
"Yeah, you what do you think about what we should do?" asked Aiden, as he didn't want his fake wife to be mad at him as he had noticed that she could be quite the crazy person.
"Um, I think we should do as you as you said earlier."
However, before Aiden could agree Wu Lan once again interjected as she felt being left out.
"Why are you doubting my ideas? Let's just do as I say," she complained to Li Feng holding onto his arm.
'I guess, the sooner I finish this trial the better will my rewards be,' thought Aiden, as he wasn't sure if this could help him win the Inter Family Tournament.
He didn't know because it would be the system which would be analyzing everyone's performance inside of it.
"Yeah, Li Yang just listen to my wife, she's the strategist now," said Aiden as he honestly thought that she wouldn't change the outcome that much.
Because with the stats which Aiden had currently with this body, he felt like nothing could stop him. He felt invincible as all his stats were over 150.
This was incredible that he honestly wished that he would never lose, however, he knew that by the end of this tournament, he would be losing all that power, all that strength.
"Alright, then I'll gather everyone for tonight. Do you want me to tell the other generals?" asked Li Yang, knowing that this would probably be for the best as it would give time for both Aiden and Wu Lan for themselves as they seemed to be needing it.
"Sure, you can go ahead and tell the others," responded Wu Lan as she didn't seem to find anything wrong with that.

Meanwhile, there were four people looking at their respective crystal globes inside their special place.
"Did you guys all see their reactions when learning that this was a real trial, ahaha, they were all so shocked," said Thorin who couldn't help himself as he started laughing as loud as he could.
He was proud of what he had done it seemed, as the others in the room only glanced at him.
"What no one wants to say anything?" asked Thorin, sad that no one was finding this as funny as him.
He had to say that he was kind of disappointed as it was he who had organized all of this. He had made sure that there would be a little hint at the start of the tournament regarding what would happen, but no one had picked up on it.
It was that part that he was the most disappointed. They were supposed to be the Elites and they hadn't caught on such an obvious hint.
But, Thorin dismissed those thoughts as heard the voice of Melinda.
"Can you stop talking? Some of us are trying to pay attention to what's happening here," complained Melinda as she found Thorin's voice to be really annoying.
"Are you still looking at the Reaper?" she asked as he simply couldn't believe the obsession that she had with him.
First, a discussion, then she interfered in front of the entire public to defend him, Thorin didn't know what was so special about that person, but there had to be something that he ignored completely about him.
It simply didn't make sense for her to pay that much attention to a young awakener.
Thorin kept having questions pop inside his mind however he disregarded them as he knew that Melinda would never answer them.
"What if I mind, go back to your fucking seat Thorin," said Melinda, who was really starting to get pissed off.
"What's so special about him anyway?" said another in the room, who kept his eyes on the crystal ball in front of him.
The person who had just spoken was obviously the Nightshade Patriarch who was quite curious about what Melinda found so interesting about that person.
The Nightshade Patriarch hadn't really looked at him at all, because he was focused on how his son was performing.
And he also didn't feel the need to as he knew that Lucius would be winning this entire thing, so why would he try to scout other participants it didn't make much sense.
Melinda who heard that the Nightshades were asking questions simply stopped answering as she knew that if he learned about his potential then he would stop at nothing to possess him.
That was just how that man was, he was the most cruel person that Melinda knew and she knew that not having problems with him was for the best even amongst the founding families.
"Nothing's special, I'm just interested in what he will be doing in the trial. His skills and stuff like that."
"Yeah, that aura of his was quite interesting in the first fight," added the Nightshade Patriarch.
