Chapter 285 - THE PEACE HAS ENDED 03 (1/2)

'Have a seat' Azief said to Hirate.

Hirate look around the garden for a while and nodded as he takes a seat opposite Azief. The butterflies that flies around his shoulder perched itself onto Hirate shoulders

By now there are more butterflies flying around Hirate.

'You have a beautiful garden. It is even more beautiful than the Gardens in my island' Hirate complimented

Azief just nodded.

Hirate took the cup in front of him and pour himself a cup of tea.

The smell of the tea was calming and fragrant. It is made by new types of tea leaves that appear after the Fall.

It is quite calming even just by smelling the fragrance of the tea leaves coming out from the heat of the tea

Azief has already put down his tea cup. His hand is on the handle of his throne of bones. Both of his throne handle is a human skull.

It is truly a terrifying sight and it is supposed to be. This has always been the way Death Monarch does his talk.

He pressures them mentally.

Hirate felt like he was sitting in front of a ten foot God disguised as a mortal.

Even though Azief is almost seven feet, he is not ten feet.

But just by his charisma, he appears larger than he is in Hirate eyes.

And Hirate knows that. Other people would have been stutter to form words in their mind when pressured like that.

But if there is one thing Hirate is good at it is controlling his own mind.

While he may yet not master the ability to control other people mind, he had master the ability to control his own mind.

So he did just that. The Psionic Force enables him to calm his mind.

Hirate take control over his fears and mind, as he takes a deep breath, close his eyes and in that one moment, his mind become clear again.

Clear and full of clarity

He opens his eye once again and smiles like nothing happened. Azief smirks a little. Then Hirate once again looks at the garden and sighs.

'The world outside would probably draw many conclusion about the two of us meeting. This is after all unexpected'

'It is inevitable' Azief added. Hirate just chuckles slightly. Then Hirate said

'When you said you needed to talk I didn't think you would bring me to Pandemonium. It is almost like I am a hostage'

Azief did not answer or spoke anything about that.

And Hirate also did not lose his temper. He took another sip of his tea and tries to see any changes in the facial expression of the Death Monarch.

Nothing. There is nothing that changes.

He could still lose his temper in the presence of Raymond, scolding or even raising his voice towards the Death Monarch but he does not dare do it here.

Not here in Pandemonium.

In Pandemonium is very clear that there is only one ruler and there is only one rule that truly matters.

The only real ruler in Pandemonium is Death Monarch and whatever he said goes.

He is the Law. He is the judge, jury and executioner.

With one word the Death Monarch could kill him here and no one will bat any eyes.

If the person in front of him is any other person than the Death Monarch, Hirate would not be so scared or intimidated.

He would not be so subdued either.

This is because any other people would try their hardest not to make an enemy with the World government.

But in front of the Death Monarch he could not posture like that. He is unable to and he does not dare to.

This is because the person in front of him is a person capable of waging a war against the world government and not only he is capable of waging war against the World Government he is also capable of winning it.

Azief look at Hirate and he is also thinking of many things. Hirate is not the only one with considerations.

Thinking about it, his feud with Hirate is mostly because of the constant attempt of the World Government to suppress him.

He of course understands why the World government tried to suppress him. He was a thorn in their eyes.

He started as an eyesore that they could destroy anytime they wanted. But Hirate and the World government clearly miscalculated his potential.

In the years since then he rise up to become an existence that surpass them in terms of power and even influence.

Azief could understand the World Government actions of course.

He understands why people want to keep their influence and position. If there is anything he understands, he understands temptation of power the most.

Looking at Hirate, so close to him, he no longer felt so apprehensive. Because he knows Hirate could do nothing to him.

It used to be he had to be cautious of Hirate. But now, he truly could look down on the world. He could end Hirate just by his whims.

But….now is not the time.

People outside of Pandemonium have been speculating that he brought Hirate to Pandemonium to settle old score.

He might have before and he might still settle it….but at least it will not happen today. Because there is something more important than their feud.

They both recognize this. Which is why this talk even happens.

Azief look at Hirate and then said

'Hirate. You heard what the Orvanians said. What did you think?'

Hirate heard the cold deep voice of the Death Monarch. Usually Death Monarch would emanate his domineering aura and tries to intimidate the people talking to him.

But this does not seem like a prelude to such talks where he strong arms other people to cave into his demands.

Hirate thought for a while before he answers
