994 Do you think they would let me live? Hearing Amaya's plan, Nux's expression turned solemn. It was a lot better than simply giving up. The life they would have to live after this would be one of a criminal's however, that didn't matter, it wouldn't take long for him to become a Divine Stage Cultivator, and once he does become one... He would come back for revenge. With that thought in his mind, Nux glanced at Vyriana again. Although his mind had calmed down, his face still showed nervousness, he had to put up an act. He needed to 'submit' to this woman without making her doubt his intentions. To make it seem more believable, Nux decided to wait, he wanted Vyriana to continue, he also wanted to see if she knew any more of his secrets and what lengths would she go to pressure him. Once he finds the chance, he was planning to surrender just like Amaya said but then, "Pffft." Suddenly, Vyriana laughed out loud. "Look at you getting all nervous and here I thought there is nothing in this world that could make you act like this." She spoke her voice a lot less threatening than before. Nux or his wives, however, didn't lower their guard, rather, they simply narrowed their eyes since they couldn't understand this woman's reaction. Did she somehow see through them? But why was she laughing out loud? "Alright Nux, you can lower your guard, I don't intend to hurt you," Vyriana spoke in a soft voice. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶 Nux of course, didn't believe her, he just stayed silent and observed her. "You hold many secrets Nux, the fact that you cultivate fast, the fact that the people around you somehow turn into prodigies that even the ones with the royal blood flowing through their veins wouldn't be able to defeat, And the fact that one of your abilities allows you to turn into an Incubus, and that too, one with quite a high-level bloodline." Vyriana spoke and this time, Eisheth's eyes widened in surprise as well. 'An Incubus?' She was shocked, she didn't sense anything from even after interacting with him for so long! Soon, however, Eisheth glanced at the people around her and a wry smile appeared on her face. Who was she? Even when the world leaders the strongest known Cultivators couldn't sense anything, then how could she have known? Honestly, she just wanted to be the one that knew Nux's every secret, however, thinking about it right now, she had no right to think like that. Nux and her were good friends, however, even now, she never treated him like an equal. She knew he was a man with immense potential, someone who would eventually surpass her, however, right now, he was weaker than her. Right now, she was better than him. When her own thoughts were like that, then it made perfect sense that Nux didn't completely trust her. There was no reason for him to reveal any of his secrets to her and now that she think about it, what she knew about Nux, all of that was for convenience's sake. Nux didn't tell her anything because he needed someone to share his secrets with. He had his wives for that, he had no need for her in that matter. Thinking about it, Eisheth felt a strange feeling in her heart. Soon, however, she shook her head. This was not the time, the situation was getting much more complicated than she expected. She wanted to help Nux and get out of this place, however, let alone considering the risk of her actions and how it would affect her and her state, even trying to fight against that cloaked woman was sheer stupidity. That woman just needed 1 second to suppress someone like her. Not only would she not help Nux, she would turn into a weakness or would get herself killed. It was pointless, it was nothing she or the almighty Bloodhearts could do. On the other hand, Nux had a frown on his face as well. His cultivation speed and his wives' talent, that could have been investigated by interrogating different people, he didn't have control over it, but his Incubus Form...? How in the hell did sh- Suddenly, Nux's expression changed. And before he could say anything, Vyriana smiled and, "You didn't really think that you would use that ability in your battle and no one would know about it, right?" "Heh, absolute contract my ass." Nux laughed out without realizing it. "What did you say?" Vyriana narrowed her eyes. Nux, who finally came out of her reverie and realized what he had done froze. However, seeing those golden eyes looking at him like that, Nux felt annoyed. He decided to let go, "The condition for that battle was signing the contract of Absolute Silence. Nothing you see there should be revealed to anyone and that applied to the judges of the battle as well. Yet here you are, standing before me, knowing things only those judges should have known. Those people clearly broke the rule. The 'Contract is Absolute', even your own people don't respect it, how do you expect others to follow it? Why do you guys even bother trying to act like good guys? You have the required strength, don't you? Just openly declare your rule all over Yrniel, why bother with all those bullshit rules?" "They wouldn't have broken the rules if I personally hadn't asked them to," "But they still broke i-" "The Ancestral Order does not wish to harm you, Nux Leander," Vyriana spoke in an authoritative tone, one that signified that when she spoke these words, she represented the order itself. Nux, however, wasn't buying any of her bullshit, "Oh yeah? Well, your actions don't seem to match your words." Then, Nux looked around and glanced at all the world leaders looking at him with different expressions on their faces, "Even if you let me go and don't do anything, after revealing all my secrets like this, do you think they would do the same? Do you think they would let me live?"
