“What…?”
Lazarus spoke questioned with a look of utter disbelief on his face.
“…”
Silence fell over the place and the jolly atmosphere suddenly changed into the solemn one.
An expression that Nux’s wives never saw before appeared on Lazarus’s face,
“Melia, what did you say?”
Lazarus questioned in a solemn tone.
The way he was talking right now was completely different than the friendly and jolly way before, right now, his tone carried authority. It had this strange compelling force that demanded answers. Even Melia, who usually acted indifferent towards her brother changed her expression when she glanced at Lazarus.
She realized it, her brother was serious right now, even she didn’t have the power to resist that compelling force that her brother carried.
Since he asked this question, she had to answer.
“I will not form my own Clan, brother. I will join their clan.”
Melia pointed at Nux’s wives and replied honestly.
Hearing those words, let alone Lazarus, even Ambrosia narrowed her eyes.
Lazarus’s three wives, who were standing behind him, ready to celebrate Melia’s victory couldn’t help but frown.
The three of them finally glanced at Nux’s wives, honestly, for them, they were just some side characters, the real reason they were here was Melia.
Lazarus loved her sister, and honestly, Melia’s personality was likable, she respected them, and although she didn’t show emotions on her face, it was clear that she loved and cared for her brothers. For Lazarus’s wives, Melia was like an adorable, but cold little sister.
They cared for her and wanted to celebrate with her, however… hearing that Melia was going to join these women’s clans…
Lazarus’s wives couldn’t ignore them anymore.
These ‘side characters’, were not side characters anymore, and now that the wives finally glanced at these women, they noticed that all of them had a certain charm to them. They were all beautiful, yes. However, they all seem to have more to themselves than just beauty.
These women… they were definitely not just any random women that one meets and forget the other day… they were different…
Lazarus’s wives frowned in confusion.
All these women belonged to one man? And that too, an Emperor Stage Cultivator?
How did that man manage to pull that off?
These women were not simple, they were beautiful and some of them looked like they were less than a century years old, them being an Emperor at that age meant that they were talented as well. Women like these…
Any man would be glad to have them in their life.
Even Lazarus, if he wasn’t attached to his wives so much that he won’t even consider seeing other women, even he might go after them.
In a situation like this, the fact that a mere Emperor Stage Cultivator managed to pull all these women for himself, it was definitely surprising.
“Melia, tell me what happened inside. Did that man cheat? Is he somehow blackmailing you? You can discuss it with me, I assure you, I will resolve everything.”
Lazarus completely ignored the fact that the condition for the duel was that Melia would be joining Nux’s clan if she loses.
He didn’t even consider the fact that Melia lost.
And why would he?
There is no way his little sister can lose against an Emperor Stage Cultivator after all. He knew how strong his little Sister actually was.
Whether it was using her ability, fooling his opponent, battle tactics, concentration, presence of mind, his little sister was top class in all those formats. Even if she had lowered cultivation to match that man’s, her losing this battle was simply impossible.
Lazarus himself wasn’t sure if he could defeat Melia if they fought with the same Cultivation level, how can a mere Emperor who barely knows how to handle Mana defeat her?
That was not even a possibility.
Something else happened.
And Lazarus needed to know what it was.
“Melia, answer my question, what happened inside the Training Hall?”
Lazarus raised his voice and questioned again.
“According to the contract, what happened inside the Training Hall shall not be disclosed to anyone. No matter how closely related that person is.”
Suddenly, everyone heard a voice.
They all turned towards the direction of the voice, and seeing an extremely handsome man with black hair and mysterious golden eyes walking out of the Training Hall, everyone had different expressions on their faces.
Nux’s wives had small smiles on their faces.
Lazarus’s wives frowned a little when their eyes fell on Nux. They seemed… surprised? Well, they would admit it, they didn’t expect him to be this handsome, this man definitely matched Lazarus when it came to looks, although his cultivation was a little low, that confident aura around him was definitely charming.
They could now see why Nux’s wives were attracted to him. It didn’t make complete sense, but they could still see it happening.
Ambrosia, on the other hand, had different thoughts.
She, as a Divine Stage Cultivator, could see through Nux’s ‘truth’.
‘A complete cultivator huh.’
Ambrosia glanced at Nux with a curious smile on her face.
Lazarus, however, didn’t care about all that, he just walked towards Nux, and with their face right next to each other, Lazarus looked into Nux’s eyes in an intimidating manner and questioned.
“You think that contract can hide the truth forever? I have my ways to figure things out, Human.”
If it was anyone else other than Nux, Lazarus might have successfully intimidated him, however,
“This is the third time, Lazarus.”
Nux replied and this time, he dropped all the honorifics.
Melia noticed that and realized that things could go south any moment now, therefore, she decided to interfere, however, before she could do that, her mother grabbed her hand and shook her head.
Melia frowned, Ambrosia, however, just nodded with an assured look on her face and told her to watch.
Hesitantly, Melia stepped back.
A small smile appeared on Ambrosia’s face as she glanced in a particular direction,
‘Sending all the ‘Eyes’ away and keeping an eye on this situation from afar,
…

Darling, just what are you trying to do?’
