Celine's Nest, Arkton City, Sylvana, Netheria
"Do you like the place?" Keith knowingly asked as he looked at the grey-eyed lady appreciating the sea view from the porch of the Villa he had recently bought in Arkton City.
"I love it, Keith!" Celine happily smiled and tip-toed to plant a kiss on his cheek, but before she could escape, he grabbed her waist and kissed her on her luscious lips. "Thank you!"
He smiled at her words and gently stroked her cheekbone with his thumb, looking at her with all the affection he held for her, and enjoyed the blush that crept on her cheeks under his fervent gaze.
"Get some rest. We have an event to attend this evening."
"Okay." She nodded and pulled him in another kiss before happily skipping inside the house.
Taking in a deep breath, he smiled at the beautiful body of water in front of him, and his eyes soon narrowed in a devilish glint.
Arkton City was one of the most famous Metropolitan Cities in the world and was the Capital of Province Sylvana of the Netherian Federation.
It was a seaside City, almost a hundred miles away from Hawaii, and one of the favourite destinations of the tourists for its year-round pleasant weather.
Keith, however, had not come here on a holiday. He was here to deal with Kylian Dusk, the Child of Destiny who had awakened his Spirit Eyes last month, and whose Invincible Halo was going to wear off in a couple of days.
He had already unlocked the Quest a few days ago. And this time, there was a time duration on it to finish the task.
[Main Quest 2: Kill Kylian Dusk, the Child of Destiny.]
Rewards: The Eyes of Spirit. 1000 System Points. 1000 System Experience.
(Difficulty: Easy. Duration: 147 Days.)
The reason for this duration was that another Child Of Destiny was going to awaken in exactly 147 days. And it would be when Kylian would be warped in another world as planned by Destiny.
The Spirit Eyes were a treasure that he had to get his hands on at all costs. Even though it was something he could not use because he possessed a Bloodline that was not compatible with these eyes, he needed them for Amelia, who would gain a lot from them.
The Runic Monarch, whom she was the Inheritor of, belonged to the same race as the God who created these Spirit Eyes.
Keith had read the plan of Destiny meant for Kylian, and he knew the true secret of these Spirit Eyes. This was not just one of the most precious treasures in existence but was perhaps one of the most powerful weapons as well.
"System, what's the Compatibility of Amelia with Spirit Eyes?"
{100% Host. And these eyes will help strengthen her Bloodline as well. She will be able to reach 50% Purity if she possesses the Spirit Eyes and the complete legacy of the Runic Monarch.}
"I see." He frowned.
Though 50% purity of that Divine Bloodline was enough to make Amelia one of the most powerful Gods in existence, he was unsatisfied with it.
There was an inborn distaste in him towards the idea of someone being a half-blood. And he did not want his beloved wife to be considered a disgrace to a Divine Race.
Even if Amelia managed to get the complete legacy of the Runic Monarch, she would never be able to unleash its full potential because of the Powers she would lack as a result of being a Half-Blood.
{Host does not need to fret over it. If you manage to raise the System to its maximum level, you can buy even the Divine Bloodlines.}
"No matter how powerful you are and even if all the Divine Laws govern you, it should not be possible for you to generate a Divine Bloodline with 100% purity." Keith shook his head as he understood how special these Bloodlines were.
"You are right Host. Due to the restrictions of the Divine Laws, you can only buy a Divine Bloodline with 50% purity, but if Amelia is already a Half-Blood, you can buy the other half from the System Shop."
Keith frowned at those words and his mind was no longer focused on the matter that concerned Amelia. His focus was now on the mysterious origin of this System that he possessed.
"System, is there any other System which is capable of sensing your existence?" He apprehensively asked, having already guessed the answer.
{No, Host. No other System can sense the Fate Plundering System.}
"I see." He felt a sinking feeling in his heart and then took a deep breath, brushing his fear aside. "Show me Kylian Dusk's information."
{Initializing Host's request...}
[Subject: Kylian Dusk]
[Child of Destiny; Grade A]
[Age: 26]
[Race: Human (Auror)]
[Status: Doctor at the Octavia Hospital. The bastard child of the Dusk Sect.]
[Cultivation Rank: Great Profound Realm (Middle Stage)]
[Special Physique: The Spirit Eyes]
[Cultivation Talent: Purple]
[Strength: 10]
[Constitution: 15]
[Speed & Reflexes: 19]
(10 is the average limit for Cultivators in Great Profound Realm)
[Charm: 90]
[Fate: 3865 (Fluctuating)]
Keith knew that it was going to be hard to plunder all the Fate Value since Kylian's Main Heroines were not in this World, but he was determined to plunder as much as possible before finishing him off.
"Master."
Suddenly, a cute voice of a girl sounded out from behind him, and he turned to look at her with a gentle smile.
"Yes, Minami?"
"We have prepared lunch."
"Okay. I will join you at the table in a couple of minutes."
"Yes, Master." She bowed to him before walking back inside the house.
Keith had only brought Minami and Celine with him to Arkton City. And of course, his Shadow was always by his side. The rest of his ladies were all busy with their work, and he knew that Celine wanted to always come to Arkton City and spend some time alone with him here.
It was Kiara who had suggested that he take Minami with him since he planned on living here for a couple of months. His cute little daughter was going to take care of him, and he will get to show her around some very exciting places that he knew she would love to visit.
Picking his phone out of his pocket, Keith dialled a number and instructed the man on the other end about the arrangements he had to make for tonight's event.
Though Kylian was still under the protection of the Invincible Halo and he could not do anything to him just yet, he could, however, meet this Child of Destiny and enjoy the drama that was going to unfold tonight.
"This looks delicious!" He complimented as he glanced at the food and took his seat next to Celine.
"Thank you, Master." Minami sweetly smiled at him and bowed. "Yingying helped me with it as well."
"I can tell." He chuckled as he picked up the soup that he knew Yingying had made.
He finished his meal first and excused himself to his room, leaving the ladies at the table, who were listening to a story Minami was telling them which she had read in the storybook and loved a lot.
"Eee!"
Keith found the beautiful black cub running towards him, and he caught it in his arms.
He knew that it was hungry and fed him his Aura and Mana before putting the little fellow on his bed and entering the dressing room to get changed.
When Celine entered the room after listening to an exciting story by Minami, she pouted when she found him asleep. But soon she smiled at how beautiful and peaceful he looked.
She had grown fond of watching him sleep, and just a look at him sleeping relieved her of all the tiredness.
He had asked her to get some rest, but now she was in the mood for something else.
Celine quickly assembled her tools and canvas, and then she started painting the ridiculously handsome man and the lazy black cub sleeping on the bed, and with every passing second, the seriousness in her eyes grew.
She was so consumed in her work that she paid no heed to the passage of time, and when Keith woke up at around 6 pm, he found her sitting on the stool, covered in oil paint as she gave the last touches to her work with her bare hands.
"Who's this ridiculously handsome man, my dear Celine?" He teasingly asked after he took a good look at the painting and planted a kiss on her head.
"My lover." She said and sensuously bit on her lower lip, raising her head to meet his eyes.
"I am jealous." He smiled as he captured her lips and then picked her up in his arms, not caring about his pyjamas that got stained with the oil paints. "Let's get you washed up. we have to leave in an hour."
"I don't think an hour would be enough, little Keith..." She playfully smiled as she pulled him in for another kiss. "You don't mind getting late, do you?"
"Depends on what your intentions are, Aunty."
"Aunty wants you to help her wash, and she wants to help you wash as well." She bit on his lower lip. "And your Aunty needs you to help her curb the fire in her loins. Won't you help her with it, little Keith?"
"If that is the case, I don't mind getting late for anything." He chuckled and then started tearing on her clothes, earning giggles from her that echoed in the bathroom.
