Right after Ambrosia left, Lazarus stood up from his chair, and then, he walked towards Nux with a serious look on his face. Nux, who was currently talking to Esme, stopped, and seeing the serious look on Lazarus's face, he narrowed his eyes. Was Lazarus going to attack him? Nux wondered in his mind. Well, even if he was, Nux wasn't very worried. No, not because he was stronger than Lazarus. He might have defeated Melia, however, against Lazarus, who was a Semi Saint, he didn't stand a chance, even if he gave his all, winning against Lazarus would be absolutely impossible. Even against Melia, the victory wasn't one-sided. He was hiding that right now and was still holding up, however, the truth is, there were internal injuries all over his body. Injuries that even his improved [Regeneration] or the Healing Potions cannot heal. He was in no condition to fight. Even fighting against Melia right now was difficult. However, Nux was still not scared. Why would he? There were 2 Divine Stage Cultivators overseeing the situation from far, after all. "I apologize." However, while Nux was thinking all this, Lazarus apologized, surprising everyone. Nux raised his eyebrow. "You were right, I have disrespected my father, my sister, and even forced my mother to meddle in this situation, not only that, but I have also disrespected you and for that, I apologize. I deeply regret what I did, I know I am not supposed to make decisions instead of my sister, however, this bad habit of mine keeps coming back. However, I will try my best to keep myself in check, and, I hope you take good care of my Sister." Saying those words, Lazarus bowed his head. Seeing this, Melia widened her eyes. Lazarus was a proud man, the heir of the Bloodheart House, he… he should not be bowing his head in front of anyone other than his father. For him to bow his head in front of Nux… Melia didn't know how to react to this situation. Not only Melia, but even Nux was also confused. 'What's with this family? Why are they so perfect?' He wondered in his head. First, it was Orpheus, and now Lazarus. He thought Lazarus would be prideful and would not admit his mistakes, he was planning on using that in the near future but with Lazarus apologizing with such a genuine expression, Nux didn't know what to do. "Lord Lazarus, you cannot bow in front of me like that, please raise your head. You are the heir of the Bloodheart House, you are disrespecting your house if you bow your head in front of others so easily." "I am acting as a brother right now." "That does not matter, you cannot bow your head, in any situation." Nux retorted and hearing those words, Lazarus raised his head. Then, Nux glanced at Lazarus, and continued, "Also, if you think a simple apology would cut it, then you are wrong." In the end, Nux knew that he cannot lose this opportunity, Lazarus was a good man, however, right now, he had to think about his clan. Also, who is to say what would happen in the future? This might be a golden opportunity for the Bloodheart House as well. Hearing Nux's words, Melia frowned. "Nux…" She tried to call out, however, Lazarus stopped her. "What do you want?" He questioned. "3 chances. I want the Bloodheart House to provide us 3 'chances', in the future, whenever our clan requests for it, the Bloodheart House should be ready to help us." However, Lazarus directly shook his head, "I cannot do that, it was my mistake, you cannot involve the Bloodheart House in this. You can ask for my help whenever you like, I will be ready for that, I wouldn't even care if you seek my help 10 or even 20 times, but the Bloodheart House, you cannot have that." "I think you are forgetting who you are, Lord Lazarus, You are the heir of the Bloodheart House, you represent the Bloodheart House, obviously, the Bloodheart House would face the consequences of your actions." "…" Lazarus turned silent and closed his eyes. A minute passed by just like that. The atmosphere was solemn, no one said any words. Everyone just glanced at Nux and Lazarus, the two main characters of the show. Then suddenly, Lazarus opened his eyes and the atmosphere around him changed. "You want the Bloodheart House, the house that has 3 Divine Stage Cultivators and countless other powerful cultivators to come to your aid whenever you wish for? Aren't you pushing it too far?" "I was not the one who made the mistake." "Nux, you called me Lazarus before." Suddenly, Lazarus spoke up. Nux tilted his head in confusion and Lazarus continued, "Instead of calling me with proper honorifics, you called me by my name, that was a clear sign of disrespect, not only to me, but to the Bloodheart House as well. I disrespected you, but you disrespected the Bloodheart House, which makes us equal, no, it even puts you in a difficult position, if I want, I can just walk away and you get nothing out of it. If it's reasons, I can create many of them to save myself, I am not doing it out of my goodwill and the fact that I genuinely wish to heal any cracks that may have appeared in our relationship. However, you have to know, I, as the Heir of the Bloodheart house, cannot place my own house at disadvantage. Do not push too hard and change your conditions when you still have time. Or you might go back empty-handed." "…" This time, Nux turned silent. On the other hand, Orpheus and Ambrosia, who were looking at the situation from afar smiled. "You look proud." Ambrosia glanced at Orpheus's face and muttered. "It could have been better," Orpheus replied. His face still showed the same indifference, however, Ambrosia could read his emotions like an open book. In the end, she just smiled and continued to witness this interesting face-off in front of her. "Alright. I will back out." In the end, Nux gave in.
