"Lord Snow, Please let us discuss this!" The elderly man yelled as Lilith qi began to intensify. Devouring all those who felt her power with fear.
"Fine, Fine but be quick; this is my place of business after all," I exclaimed, feeling Lilith's aura begin to fade.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Alfred, and this is Kara. Furthermore, we are from the House of Valise, a division of the Vanir Clan," He said, covered in a cold sweat that trickled down his robes.
Nodding in understanding, I didn't show much expression, "What is this about Lord Alfred?" I questioned, already knowing what must be done.
"We want you to join us. We are willing to supply you with a large number of resources. Especially when your boss was found with Lady Freya and The Triskter himself, Loki. "
"My boss's name is Lilith," I coldly said, masking my smile.
"Apologies, but it's as we said. We wish for you to join us....for a cost." Alfred muttered while Kara clenched her teeth.
"A cost?" I questioned once more, amused at what I was hearing.
"Yes, we would like..."
"I know what you want, but surely you realize giving you such things would be foolish. How about this? I will join you and do direct business with the Vanirs and choose not to give any business to the Aesir clan. How is that?"
"but that's..."
"Be silent, Kara." Alfred shouted in agitation, nodding towards me with a smile, " Agreed, but how much would you ask for?"
"Depends who you are." I commented, "I have more money than I can use, so it could be resources, weapons, or favors."
"Then there may be some issues," Kara suddenly said as Alfred sent her a stern look. "We operate differently from others. Due to the blessing of Fertility by many of the Vanir gods, we are one of the largest clans to exist. Competition is king; if you join us, there may be a chance of you getting bullied. I will not be surprised if someone robs you!"
Opening my mouth, I pointed to myself in confusion, "I... Me? You expect me to get bullied?" I asked in a baffled expression.
"Lord Snow, while we can keep you from getting killed, we have no way of stopping those from robbing or being bullied. Many will try to cripple you or worse."
Roaring out in laughter, tears began to run from my eyes as I stared out at the duo staring at me in confusion. "I have no equals in my level, bully me? Are you mad? By the Fucking NInes, this may be the funniest shit I have ever heard."
"Lord Snow, this is—"
"AHAHAHAA" Laughing my ass off, I felt my stomach cramping as I begged them to stop. "AHAHAHA "
Turning a little red with humiliation or anger, I slowly began to calm down, "Fuck, that was a good one. AHHAHAAH, Bully me? HAHAHA, God-Sama, did you hear that? They wish to bully me."
"Arsene, even if you can kill those in the gate of Truth, our clan is filled with millions of those far above the Gate of truth. We possess millions within the States of Nascent souls, all the way to Dao Serving. We are at the peak in cultivation...."
"yet how many are at the stages of World?" I coldly asked, cutting off Alfred, thinking of an army of World Gods at my disposal. "How many can break through to the realm of World. Let's exclude the Elves and other purebloods for a moment; how many humans enter the Realm of World but are stuck at World King?"
Noticing the shiver Kara had, I smirked, "You will not have to worry about me being bullied, but whether your clan will rule over the Nine Realms. Why do you think many are here? Have you looked into crossroads? Till now, aside from a few sick desires, I have been granting manny request."
Narrowing her eyes, I could see a hint of Greed within Kara's and Alfred's eyes as I smiled like a demon upon their shoulder, "I don't know your cultivations, but I can say I can give you the talent to be a world God or higher. I can make a breakthrough within a few days."
"And what would you ask—"
"No, my dear, that's not how it works. I will take what I want while you get what you want."
Frowning, Kara gritted her teeth, "And if you want my body?"
Snorting, a hint of annoyance filled my eyes as I sneered, "What of it? Are you some holy being? So high above having sex? From what I can see, you have a pussy like many others, but it's up to you. Think of it as a gamble. I could ask for your virginity, your left eye, your anything, but in return, you breakthrough into a higher level."
"You're sick—"
"my dear, I have no interest in you. Aside from your face, you are quite annoying. If you don't want to deal, I am sure there will be billions to take me up on my offer. They will bear their desires towards me, and I will take what they have to offer. You just have more talent than most—your nothing special within my eyes.
Glaring venomous daggers into my skull. A gleam of hate could be seen as her fingers curled into a fist. Watching her body tremble, a light smile arose upon my face.
"Like favors," Alphrid said as my smile began to deepen,
"Correct, favors are my bread and butter, but do you, dear? Do you dare wish to gamble with me?" I asked, ignoring the hateful glint within kara's gaze.
"And if we cannot fulfill our end?" Alfred asked in a measured manner, not letting his greed get ahead of him.
"The contracts are designed to always succeed, but should you fail. I will take something else."
"You will?" Kara asked in confusion.
Smiling, a hint of malice filled my lips, "Yes, I, not Lilith, nor Ezra, or any other member of Vaevictis. Only I."
Laughing, I could see a deep trace of disdain from Alfred as he thought nothing from my cultivation, and he should not. But my contracts at those stages are not fueled by me but the Nines. It bends all of reality to give you your wish. Million could die just so someone could get rich, or some opportunity that should not exist happens to give you the girl of your dreams. The Nines will fulfill such a request at a price.
"Then I will welcome you to the Vanir Clan Lord Snow to officially be accepted. However, we will ask you to visit us for it to be official." Alfred said joyfully.
Pondering for a moment, I spoke, "How far is the Isle of Yur'druol form from your sect?" I asked in a chilling manner.
"Now, this is a coincidence," Kara said in a hint of surprise.
"I am sure it is," I whispered, looking upwards towards the heavens.
"We have an expedition there within nine months. It should take about ten years to reach there from your position and five from our position."
Opening my eyes wide, I gasp in shock, "How fucking large is Midgard?"
"Deals? Contracts?" I repeated, staring down at Alfred and Kara on one knee.
"Yes, my lord, Arsene claimed that he is able to grant our clan an endless stream of warriors at the stages of World and Higher." Kara humbly said with reverence to my disgust and disbelief.
"Have you seen Silvia?" I asked as my mind flashed to the little firecracker.
"No, but I have felt her presence within the City of Hallr. It seems stable, and she is still pure." Alfred quickly exclaimed. "But... I have seen a rather interesting person, and she is working for Arsene Snow."
"That boy again." I coldly barked as he nodded.
"Zanris Daeva is with Arsene, working as one of his servants." He said as my eyes began to glimmer with anger.
Clenching my fist, ice began to flood my throne as I arose, glaring into Alfred, "What the hell do you mean? Working with Arsene!!! Should that bitch not be in prison rotting in its depts?"
"Be calm, Unnr; no need to be so agitated," Torgeir said with an interesting glimmer. "You cannot fault the girl for her decision. " He said as I stared dead into him, causing a slight smile to surface.
"So you knew?"
"Of course," He said with a calm smile that didn't reach his eyes, "Does the Matriarch wish to punish me?"
Hearing his mocking tone, my intent began to fill the room as cold sweat trickled down his head like streams.
"The House of Scara are to kill her," I cold commanded as he smirked,
"She is not ours; you made us abandon her. Siva was quite livid, but we still followed your orders to imprison her before removing her name from our house. She belongs to Arsene now."
Narrowing my eyes, I continued to stare at Torgeir with malice before smiling. If Torgeir didn't have deep ties to the main branch, I would have wrung his neck before his children. "Tell me about this, Arsene?"
"Monster!!!"
"Bastard!!!"
"Interesting!!"
Sending Torgeir a deep glance, I could not help be curious at his description. "He is cruel at times, but he thinks ahead a few hundred steps. He is a master of the Mask, but he still shows his real self to those around him as a mask within a mask. I cannot figure him out."
Staring at the stack of documents beside me, I spread through the reports of Arsene, frowning at the many contradictions.
"Can we trust him?"
"No" Everyone yelled, causing me to smile,
"If I may, my lady," Kara said with a cold expression, " Arsene, in my opinion, is too adapt at schemes to be trusted. He sees us not as people but rather toys upon a board. I don't know why but the moment I saw him. I had an innate instinct to kill him."
'Agreed," Alfred said in a sinister manner to my surprise, "Those deals sound far too lucrative to be true. There were many to break into the realm of Nascent Soul, while everyone got their wishes to fulfill some way or another; this leaves a major question to be asked. where are the equivalent and exchange Laws?"
"On this, I agree with Alfred, " Torgeir quickly intervene, "Those deals are very suspicious. Especially when we don't know what he could ask for."
"Has anyone spoken with the people Arsene contracted?" I asked as Kara nodded,
"I did my lady, and I found no problems with many of them. Many of them just said Arsene wanted them to spread his name, while others said he wanted them to do something for him. While a few are currently dead, I don't believe it was done by Arsene due to them killing themselves or due to someone killing them."
"So there is no evidence of foul play?" I asked, even more, bewildered as to why both Kara and Alfred were against the idea of Arsene's so call deals.
"My lady, once you meet this boy, you will understand. We cannot trust him. As powerful as I am, I cannot begin to understand how he thinks, and then there are those two monsters. Lilith and Ezra, both of them are World Protectors, yet they are around that boy's age."
Pondering a while, I placed my hands upon my cheeks, "You all may leave," I commanded, watching as they bowed, leaving at my words.
"What do you think?" I asked as a dark voice sounded from the void.
"I think nothing regarding the boy name Arsene; he is only not even in the second major stage of cultivation; what he doesn't matter, but the other two is different. "
"Torgeir did not tell you, but there is a major issue within the capital, all entering around what we believe is from those two girls and from the multiple reports of many having the honor of coming in contact with Freya and Loki, we can confirm Vaevictis is dangerous."
"I would agree; that is why I want you to go and court this so call Lilith. Drug her if you must and allow your cultivation technique to take effect." I coldly said, sending a loving smile towards my son walking out of the shadows.
"And what of Arsene? Form what I hear, he is rather powerful," Havel said with a chilling smile upon his handsome face. Giving a smile, I shivered in his presence, licking my lips.
"What about it? Cripple him, and I am sure those girls will throw him away. Is this not how all cultivators behave? Even a parent will abandon their child if they are useless. And once she has a taste of you, I am sure their hearts will falter to you. "
"Oh, mother," He said, drawing closer, "you say the cruelest things. There is no way you would abandon your baby."
Feeling my stomach filled with butterflies, I smiled, "Hmph, then go find this girl..."
"Mother, she is within the realm of World. Do you really expect me to court her?" he asked in a mocking tone, "Somone at her realm would not even look at me."
"That's why I am giving you this. Your Dual cultivation technique worked on me, making me yours, so it will most definitely work on her. We are both world protectors; drug her like you did me and fuck her silly as you did me. " I said in a lustful manner, unbecoming of my stature.
Feeling my garden begin to cook, I dropped my clothing, falling back upon my throne while stretching my legs wide as my fingers began to dance. Watching me with lust, Havel laughed, dropping his trousers. "You was my greatest conquest; I wonder what father will think once he finds out his wife is now mine."
"Let him," I yelled as Havel pulled me in.
"Tear me up,"
