Chapter 2075: We are a very vindictive family. "Show them that you are prepared for a fair battle and on the day of the battle, Clash your domain with Sharnoth’s and it would allow me to appear next to her, deal critical damage to her, and you can use this chance to get rid of her or capture her alive, Is that clear?" Nux instructed and Vexarion... He still couldn’t believe this was happening. Was this... really possible? Could he... actually defeat Sharnoth? Could he actually defeat the Heir to Chaos and get the Supreme World of Light’s favor? Even now, all of this felt like a dream. The ability that this man just showed seemed too good to be true, but slowly, it all started to make sense. This was how the Leander Family was able to become the threat they were now. But even then, Vexarion wasn’t convinced, "All this feels too suspicious." He muttered. "What is it now?" Nux questioned, somewhat annoyed. Just how paranoid was this man? How did he manage to become the Leader of a High-Level World with such an attitude? Everything was being served in front of him on a silver platter, yet he was still hesitant. Just what in the hell was wrong with him? "Sharnoth has challenged me to a Death Match before as well, and because I knew her Faction wouldn’t make it a fair battle, I denied it. If I accept her challenge this easily now, she will be suspicious. She might not even participate in the battle." Vexarion mentioned a problem. "That won’t happen." Nux shook his head. "Why is that?" "You should know that more than me, shouldn’t you?" Nux questioned back and Vexarion turned silent. For an instant, he recalled that little girl glaring at him with pure, unhidden hatred. "The only reason Sharnoth moves is because of her hatred for you. She will do anything in her power if she gets to kill you with her own hands, even if that means her death." Nux answered as he looked into Vexarion’s eyes. "..." Vexarion stayed silent and Nux continued, "That woman isn’t a fool. She knew what she was getting into when she revealed her Power of Chaos. She knows she is surrounded. She knows she wouldn’t survive, so even if you have set up a trap, she will still come and try to get her revenge. She is that desperate. Use that desperation to your advantage, Vexarion. This is the only chance you will get." Nux spoke with a convincing look on his face, and this time, Vexarion couldn’t deny his words. He just had one more question, "Where do you stand in all this?" He questioned as he looked into Nux’s eyes. "What do you mean?" Nux questioned back. "You appear out of nowhere and start attacking Sharnoth’s Faction, you weaken it to the point that she desperately reveals her trump card—a card that would get her killed eventually—but then suddenly, you stop targeting her and target her enemies instead. What does the Leander Family want? What is your goal? My men have been trying to talk to you all this while. Why did you only approach us now?" Vexarion questioned. It was a logical line of thought. From his perspective, the Leander Family’s actions made next to no sense. Was the Leander Family an ally or an enemy? He couldn’t see through it. "As I said before, we are merely mercenaries chasing profits." "Profits...?" Aurendor narrowed his eyes. "Weakening Khaemorr’s Faction profited us, so we did what we did. Once we had weakened them enough, our job was done. We would have disappeared, but then we were told to attack you. Since we saw the profits, we began targeting you. And now we are once again targeting you because we see profit in that." Nux answered as if it was obvious. "Weakening Khaemorr’s Faction profited you? How? Who hired you? My Faction is the only one that Khaemorr’s Faction is up against. Who else but us would hire you?" "I have no reason to reveal that." Nux shook his head. "You do. If you wish to win my trust, you must reveal it." Vexarion didn’t give in, and Nux was the same. "You are mistaking something here, Vexarion Aurendor. You are the one who needs me, not the other way around. You wanted to know why we did not contact you before this, correct? It is because we knew you were incompetent. We have done our research. The only reason we are contacting you now is because of Sharnoth’s actions. She is desperate to have her revenge, so you are an ideal choice, but this does not make you the only choice. Accept her offer or not, without our help your situation will only get worse from here. As for Sharnoth, We will help someone else capture her and get the profits we are after." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂 Nux declared with a confident look on his face. Vexarion stayed silent for a moment. He didn’t like how he had no control over this man at all. Now, however, the enemy wasn’t the ghostly shadow he knew nothing about, Now, he had something. "You already showed me your trump card, have you not? What if I reveal your secret to the Universe?" He threatened with a wide grin. "Sure, try that." Nux chuckled, unbothered. "Quite a genius approach, I must say. You will be surrounded by different enemies after this anyway. One more wouldn’t make any difference, now would it? What’s the worst that could happen? We will only make it so you are completely isolated to the point even your most loyal subordinates would leave you. I am sure the absence of the Faction you raised with so much effort wouldn’t affect you much, right?" Nux smiled ’politely.’ "Are you threatening me?" Vexarion narrowed his eyes. "Oh no no, this is not a threat. Don’t misunderstand." Nux shook his head. Then, his purple eyes turned cold and, "This is prediction." He declared. "Try and go against us and we will do everything in our power to hasten your end. Trust me when I say it, We are a very vindictive family."
