Chapter 129: Chapter 129 - Refusing a Golden Offer

"Then, tell me why you don't want to join my family?" she asked Aiden, clearly unhappy with the current situation as her smile disappeared from her face.

Aiden didn't know how to respond in a non-aggressive way, as he didn't want to be making an enemy out of one of the strongest people that existed.

It just wasn't that great of an idea especially when he wanted to lay low.

However, it was now probably impossible to lay low as everyone had learned of the Reaper since one of the heads of the founding families had called for him in front of everyone who had passed the first round of elimination.

Many were probably going to be expecting a strong opponent which meant that he won't have that element of surprise for the next fights.

"Why can't I join your family?" Aiden repeated the question, gaining time for him to think about an appropriate answer.
