190 The Potential Final Opponen (2/2)
Gulistan's words sent a shiver down Diyana's spine. Immediately, she dropped onto her knees.
”Please forgive my negligence. I will make sure to remedy the situation!”
Ignoring her, Gulistan sent the butler a mental message.
”Inform Eysan's guards of their young master's fate. Perhaps we can use them to gain more points.”
The butler's face contorted into a frown. Still, he didn't dare disobey.
…
Meanwhile, as the duo exited the brothel, they exchanged mental messages of their own.
”Since when do you only cooperate with your beloved women? Didn't you tell me that my father and you are currently in a business partnership?”
Yvonne asked while holding onto Konrad's arm.
”Indeed.”
”Weren't you a bit excessive toward her?”
”I think so too. But apparently, my cheap mother disagrees.”
Konrad's words provoked a frown on Yvonne's face.
”Were you testing her bottom line?”
”I'm not going to lie. At first, I didn't have anything against her…
As the abused son that suddenly grew into formidable powers, and realized her need for him, at worst, I would have taken a commanding stance to maintain appearances. But where did the cowardly Eysan get the courage to insult her son before her?
Clearly, he received her approval. Meaning that the first thing she did was use her nephew to test my depths.
Why is that necessary?
Meanwhile, no matter how much I pushed, she didn't strike back. With the pride of a high-ranking Sage, how can she tolerate such insults? Even if she can't kill me, can't she suppress me?
Last, but not least, the girl. While with my bloodline and dual cultivator status, preparing a perfect partner makes sense, we can't ignore that often times, women are offered to control men by proxy.
Fortunately, I have something she's not aware of that allowed me to analyze the girl's physique. Otherwise, understanding that -mother- would have been more challenging.”
Konrad explained through the mental messages while the two crossed the city's streets.
”She possesses a Decadence Physique. Whoever samples her body won't be able to stop himself from wanting more. Then more, more, and even more, until dependence completely sets in.”
Yvonne's eyes shone with fright.
”Although with my Divine Primal Force, I can effortlessly nullify the effects, she doesn't know that. Why then does she offer me such a girl?
Why did she pay the price to summon my father? For power.
Because of foundation flaws, the Ancient Crystal World's natives have never managed to go beyond the late stage of Divine Transformation.
After all, to reach the peak, you need to both reach Divine Transformation in the martial and spiritual paths while also possessing twenty-seven Supreme Meridians at the very least.
Together, for this world's natives, those two conditions are nigh impossible to fulfill. But for the woman that received the Southern King of Hell's blessings, does that still apply?
Is such a woman satisfied with being God's mother? Why can't she be God herself?
Once she fulfills her end of the bargain, what happens? At the end of the day, godhood is a cultivation level, and cultivation can be harvested. Who knows, perhaps I shall suffer a fate similar to Olrich's father.
Destroyed by kin at my peak.”
