1148 Dont regret your decision later.
“What if his teacher decides to interfere?
Can you protect me from Lady Vyriana?
No, let’s not even talk about me, can you even ensure your own safety if Lady Vyriana were to come after you?”
“She wouldn’t bother herself with matters as insignificant as these.”
“And she told you that when?”
“…”
Arcturus had no answer to Nux’s question.
“I do not wish to take any chances, Dragon Lord. I apologize but I cannot help you in this matter, your issues with the Devil, you would have to solve them on your own, and if you decide to see this as me going against you, then well,
Think whatever you want.
I will only do what is best for me and my family.”
“Don’t regret your decision later.”
“I won’t.” Nux smiled as he walked out of the room.
The room that was now filled with only the Divine Stage Cultivators turned silent, everyone in the room was thinking about the current situation from a different angle.
“He is still alive, that’s quite surprising.”
On the other side, Aeliana commented as she raised her eyebrows. She wasn’t expecting Nux to walk out without any injuries.
“I didn’t think the situation would calm down.”
“I guess that boy got lucky.” Vyriana shrugged.
“Why do you sound… disappointed…?”
Aeliana frowned in confusion.
“I wanted to see those two fight.”
“Huh? How is Nux supposed to fight against a Divine Stage Cultivator? It is over the moment Arcturus releases his Aura.”
“Isn’t that the interesting part? I wanted to see what he would do.” Vyriana shook her head.
“Maybe luck is a part of one’s strength as well.” The Dragon woman shook her head as she sighed.
Aeliana, on the other hand, didn’t seem to agree.
She didn’t think Nux managing to get out of the situation was pure coincidence,
‘He knows how to use people to his advantage.’
She noted.
Maybe… Nux was not just an arrogant brute as he pretends to be.
Thinking about it, a small smile appeared on Aeliana’s face as she glanced at Vyriana.
‘You have involved yourself in something quite complicated.’
…
Returning back to Yrniel, Nux, who was walking towards the Stage again was stopped by a voice.
“Nux.”
“Mother-in-law.” He greeted.
“It has been a while.” Eisheth smiled.
“It has indeed and you have gotten much prettier in all these years I haven’t seen you.” Nux complimented.
Eisheth, however, frowned, “Has this long training session affected your Flirting skills or something? This one sounded so corny.
Don’t use that on a woman you are trying to woo.”
It was a suggestion from an expert.
“It was that bad?” Nux seemed surprised.
“And here I thought I was improving…”
Eisheth chuckled.
“Anyways, where are you going?”
“Hmm? You don’t know? I guess even the Divine Stage Cultivators were not informed.” Nux noted.
“What do you mean?” Eisheth frowned in confusion.
“They have arranged something quite interesting. It is like an interview of sorts. I wanted to reject it at first, but then I realized that this might actually be one of the rare opportunities to freely speak in front of the entire world, so I agreed.”
“An interview?”
“Mhm, an after-match interview.” Nux nodded.
“Why was I not informed of this?”
The fact that she and the other Divine Stage Cultivator weren’t informed about this just showed how their influence had fallen and how the Clans with Complete Cultivators had taken over.
And of course, with how she had narrowed her eyes, it was clear that Eisheth did not like this one bit.
“You don’t have to worry too much,
Mother-in-law, things won’t be the same for long now.” Sensing the change in her tone, Nux spoke with a big smile on his face.
“Hmm?” Eisheth tilted her head in confusion.
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing. I just want the mother-in-law to look forward to what’s going to happen in the future. After all, your son-in-law’s Clan has returned.
Anyway, I will be taking my leave now, mother-in-law. I am getting late for the interview.
I will visit the Lust State so the two of us can catch up.
I still haven’t appreciated your beauty enough.”
Nux chuckled as he walked away.
A smile appeared on Eisheth’s face as he shook her head. This man was still as shameless as before.
Then, suddenly, Eisheth’s expression changed.
Nux may have told her not to worry about anything and to wait patiently, she, however, had different plans and she planned to implement them soon. Of course, not before she watches her son-in-law’s ‘interview.’
…
“Uggghh… why are they making us wait…?
What interesting thing were they even talking about? Telling us to stay while not saying anything, what the hell are they thinking?”
A man sitting amongst the crowd questioned with an annoyed tone.
“No one is forcing you to stay, is there?
Leave if you want. I will get more space if you do.” The man sitting next to him snorted.
“Why don’t you leave then?”
“I am not the one complaining like a fool.
So either stop complaining or get the fuck away from here.”
“Why don’t you start wagging your tail for them? It would suit you quite a lot.”
“What did you say!?”
“Hmm? You have hearing problems? But I thought dogs’ hearing was quite strong, strange.”
“You!!”
The two started fighting.
This was a common scenario all over the stadium, it showed how people were losing their temper because of their frustration.
First, the fierce battle that they had been looking forward to for the past week ended within a minute, that two, most of the time, it was covered with that cursed black smoke and they couldn’t see anything.
Then just as they were about to leave, an announcement saying that they would miss something extremely exciting if they left was made, although they weren’t forced to stay, an announcement like this was no different than playing with their minds and forcing them to stay.
And now, even after half an hour has passed by, nothing has started.
The crowd was getting restless, their frustration was growing by the second, but soon, another announcement was made.
“People of Aldara City, please welcome the leader of the winning clan, the star who stole today’s show, Nux Leander.”
