Chapitre 40: I am not going to be your slave!
Tears rolled down through the corner of the Catasm's eyes. Her vision went blurry and fuzzy...
But then a finger gently lifted her gaze by her chin, the other hand of the man who captured her wiped the tears from her face as she slowly regained her vision.
Noah made her look him in the eyes and asked,
"What is your name?"
Her vision quivered.
She was trying to think why [Immortal Chaos] wishes to know her name?
She knew this prison was his own [Domain].
She also knew that [Immortal Chaos] knows that even if her mother enters his [Domain] to rescue her, she would fail, after all this was not the void of the space where species like Catasm will have an absolute advantage.
'So why is he not taking me by force when he has all the cards in his hands?' she couldn't help but think about it again and again, yet she could not come to a conclusion.
'No wonder this guy is a madman! He is so difficult to understand!!' She thought.
She bit her lips softy and replied while looking into his deep purple eyes:
"Naomi"
Noah just smiled and sat down in front of her.
"You can call me Noah."
"Forget about my [Immortal Name]. It has been many years since I have lived up to my name."
"Furthermore as you must already know that I can reincarnate unlike most other [Immortals] who have found other ways to revive! Thus, I was born as Noah in this life. So call me Noah!" Noah tried to be as friendly as possible.
He knew most Catasm have heard about rare [Immortals] that have the power to reincarnate, although it is extremely rare.
He was sure most Catasms must have heard about him as he caused quite a ruckus in his early days as an [Immortal], thus he had no need to explain himself to the daughter of a powerful ancient Catasm who must have implanted her teaching to her daughters.
She must have also talked about famous events in which he was involved many times in the past and Noah expected Naomi to know about them and he was correct.
Naomi absentmindedly nodded as Noah gestured her to make herself comfortable.
She properly sat in front of Noah as Noah increased the [Anti-Gravity] around the prison shell with a snap of his fingers, reducing their weights so that they would feel absolutely weightless.
"Relax Naomi, I have no ill motives towards you, but I would appreciate it if you cooperate with me."
Her gaze traveled across the prison shell as she clenched her fists and said with gritted teeth:
"I AM NOT GOING TO BE YOUR SLAVE!"
Although she knew her chances of survival were negligible if she doesn't cooperate, yet the pride that Catasms carried didn't allow her to yield.
Catasms would rather die than become someone else's slave.
"Hmm?" Noah tilted his head slightly in confusion, as he waved his hand and the terms of the beast contract appeared in his hands.
"Clause 1: You will somehow convince your mother to not chase after me and to not harm me or anyone close to me in the void of the space even if the contract is nullified"
"Clause 2: If you have sisters or any other relatives, you will have to convince them too to not chase after me and to not harm me or anyone close to me in the void of the space even if the contract is nullified"
"Clause 3: You will never chase after me to harm me or my people who are close to me in the void of the space even if the contract is nullified"
"Clause 3: This contract will be valid for 100 years unless both the parties wish to continue this contract of their own free will"
"Clause 4: I, [Immortal Chaos] will never force you to do anything against your own free will"
"Clause 5: Since you are required to accompany me in my journey, as my beast, I, [Immortal Chaos] will ensure your security and well being."
"Where is it written, that you will have to become my slave?" asked Noah with the most 'confused' expression from his 'book of expressions'.
First, the two rules were simple, he did not wish to deal with a few crazy Catasms if he ever travels in the void of the space.
Noah might be strong here in this spherical prison shell or even on any other planets or stars, but the void of the space is a completely different thing especially if he has to fight Catasms because the void of the space is a natural [Domain] for this primordial species and it is very difficult to deal with Catasms in their natural [Domain] even for Noah.
"W-what do you mean? I am not a beast!!" Naomi purred slightly in rage while showing her small fangs as her cat-ears stood up arrogantly and her cat-tail wiggled in annoyance.
"Sigh~ What do you expect me to do? Just let you go like this?" asked Noah with utmost patience.
He knew Naomi is proud of her species and would never accept being treated as a beast, hence he already understood her nature, personality, and attitude and didn't get angry or annoyed.
After all, he had a plan! He was not going to ruin his plan because of his own Pride! Especially when that cute soft cat-tail was on the line which he found much better than any other catgirls that he had laid his hands upon!
*purr*
Naomi purred again as Noah increased [Gravity] in such a way that her cat-tail moved towards Noah against her will.
Noah grabbed it and started playing with it.
Naomi's face turned as red as a tomato. Her senses tingled and she felt a tantalizing jolt of electricity passing through her spine.
She shook her head and regained her composure as she replied "How am I supposed to know? I would rather die than to become your slave, [Chaos]."
"And leave my tail alone, humph" Naomi snatched her tailback as she hmphed in annoyance.
Noah chuckled and with a wry smile he said:
"You have to understand my circumstances right? I can't let your mother, sisters, or any other relatives chase after me for many years in the void of the space. By the way, I prefer 'Noah'!"
Naomi wrinkled her brows slightly as she knew the contract was justified in his defense.
"Hmm... Originally I wanted to torture you till you break and accept my conditions, but torturing such a stunning woman would be such a shame!"
Naomi blushed slightly as a deep shade of red appeared on her cheeks, her cat-ears dropped and her tail wiggled even faster.
Noah smirked seeing her reaction. This also confirmed another thing that she was very young, probably in her twenties or something as she didn't have control over her body and emotions.
"Take this and cultivate diligently to at least SSS-rank if you wish to survive on this planet. With your abilities in the mastery of [Darkness] element, as long as you don't meet the other [Immortal] on this planet, you would be safe." Noah said with one of the most 'serious' expressions on his face as he gave her a storage ring full of cultivation resources.
"W-what do you mean another [Immortal]?" she felt another headache coming, she completely ignored the ring in her palm.
How was she supposed to know there was another [Immortal] on this planet?
"Oh? You didn't know?" Asked Noah with a slight smirk.
"Remember Gabon city? The place where I abducted you from? The other [Immortal] destroyed it right after I brought you here."
"You were lucky you met me otherwise, they would have killed you as well."
She had her doubts about Noah's words but then Noah took out a small orange-colored crystal from his storage ring and handed her the crystal.
"Recoding crystal. On Earth, people use a machine to see the contents of this, but I believe your mother must have taught you how to use it using your mana," replied Noah casually in a neutral tone.
Naomi sent a few strands of her mana in the crystal and simultaneously formed a black screen using her [Darkness] element which displayed the scenes of the Gabon city that were recorded after the massacre.
Noah intentionally allowed Naomi to use a little bit of her powers, otherwise, under normal circumstances, she would be completely powerless in this prison.
Naomi's heart started beating rapidly upon seeing the gruesome death of millions of people and the river of blood that flowed across the streets of Gabon city.
This recording was recorded for the Emperor to look at and decide his next steps, but as one of the Prince, Noah also got his hands on this recording, and he kept it to use exactly at this moment!
Noah was not a saint! He would use any method to make a woman his willingly!
Naomi's back was drenched in a cold sweat as she thought what would have happened to her if she remained in that city for a second longer than that.
She subconsciously looked at Noah and her heart felt at ease.
She felt extremely lucky for being 'abducted' by him. She felt gratitude towards him who saved her from the clutches of death.
But-
She was not ready to become someone's slave.
Although she was indebted to Noah, her pride wouldn't let her accept this reality.
Noah understood everything from a single glance and laughed coldly in his heart but maintained a 'serious' expression on the outside!
Noah stood up and was about to leave, but before he left the same beast contract appeared in front of Naomi as he said "Terms are negotiable".
Then Noah vanished into thin air and only Naomi was left in the prison.
Naomi clenched her fists...
Naomi thought how he only wanted to stay away from trouble that would be unavoidable in the void of the space if she doesn't convince her mother or sisters.
Naomi thought how instead of torturing and making her bend the knee, he tried to negotiate to come to a solution.
Naomi thought how he gave her resources to improve her strength to survive on this planet as she subconsciously looked at the storage ring in her palm.
Naomi also thought about the other crazy [Immortal] that almost murdered her along with the entire city as her thoughts raced in her mind.
"Why is he being nice to me? Is it because of my stunning beauty as he said earlier?" she blushed again thinking about his handsome figure.
Naomi bit her lips softly and picked up the beast contract to read the contents of it.
She refused to even read the contents of the contract earlier... and rejected him instantly...but now... she felt something...something in her heart which told her to at least listen to what he says instead of refusing him without listening to him.
.....
Noah appeared in his tent while chuckling.
"Carrot and Stick! A proud Catasm will never yield but will come to an agreement. Heh~ my thousands of years of experience is not useless after all."
"hmm~ hhmm~ humm~"
Noah mumbled to himself as he lay on the mattress while humming his favorite tune.
Soon the purple-haired man fell asleep with a relaxed expression.
