Chapter 226: Shelby
"Well done, young man. It's been a while since this old man saw someone as promising as you."
"Indeed, Old Fang. Say, Aleron, do you want to become my disciple?"
"Shoo, he is already a part of Proper Path Alliance through Lossblaze Palace."
"Ayo, that's a place we don't want conflict with. Sigh, another talented gem snatched by them."
Aleron met with people of the Unbound rank and a few of the Transcendent rank on the top floor. After exchanging pleasantries, he got past them and arrived in the premium cafeteria. Shelby had called him there after ordering food since she knew Aleron would be hungry after the intense few hours he spent trying to climb the tower.
"Thanks, Shelby," Aleron smiled and sat down.
"Shelby will feed you. Say ahh..." Shelby smiled and closed in on him before giving him a dumpling first.
At another table, three men sat and looked at the scene. One of them was a handsome blond elf man, and the other two were humans.
"She replied so coldly and indifferently to me, and now look at her spoiling that bastard. Who the hell is he?" the Elf man snorted coldly.
"Didn't you notice the commotion when you came here five minutes ago? He is that guy Aleron who broke all records of bonus stages, and he ain't even at the peak of Paragon rank," the black-haired human man looking in his thirties said.
"Tsk, he is still a Paragon-rank trash," the Elf man clicked his tongue, his voice clearly audible to everyone, given how everyone was powerful.
Aleron enjoyed the meal with a jolly expression, "This is so tasty. You should eat too, Shelby."
"Master, are you going to ignore him?" Shelby said as she put a skewered meat patty covered by leaf and seasoning in his mouth.
"Hmm? Hmm...." Aleron glanced at the Elf man briefly before turning to Shelby with a wry smile, "Well, his words aren't affecting me, so I really can't care, but..."
Aleron glanced at him again, this time activating his Eye of Absolute Judgement.
"His actions granted him a red mark, meaning he inflicted suffering on innocent people who did nothing to him, purely for his own sake, by riding one or multiple of seven fundamental sins," Aleron's eyes turned icy. "I would kill him and put his soul in my hell, but I can't do it since he is more powerful."
"Then can Shelby confront him, please?" Shelby stood up with a smile.
"Well, I won't stop you if you want to do anything," Aleron smiled.
It would be a different matter if he wasn't a red or black mark.
Shelby walkk towards the table of three, causing them to look at her.
"W-What?" the elf man stammered as he stood up. His two friends also stood up.
"You called him trash," Shelby said with a smile, albeit it was an icy smile sending chills down their spine.
"So what?" the Elf man composed himself and coldly replied.
"So apologize to him because he is not trash, you are."
"What If I don't?"
"Then I will torment you," Shelby flatly answered. "I will flay you alive in a storm of blades, making you wish you were dead but keeping you. And even then, I won't kill you until you beg for death using your mouth by apologizing a hundred billion times."
Let alone Elf man, the other two beside him almost pissed themselves hearing her, especially since she sounded absolutely serious!
"Lay a hand on me, and you will face the wrath of Dark Leaf House," the Elf man sneered. "You don't blow your horn anywhere just because you are a Transcendent-rank powerhouse."
Suddenly, the Elf Man felt dizzy and pain in his cheeks.
He couldn't even see her but knew he was slapped.
"You!"
*Slap*
"Stop!" the Elf man shouted as he felt a stinging pain in both his cheeks. He was almost about to attack, but it wouldn't be of any use.
"Fighting is not allowed here," the staff member arrived and said with a weak smile. "You can use the Arena to resolve the issue if you like."
"Come and die," Shelby said with a smile. "If not, your Dark Leaf House will face the wrath of Lossblaze Palace. The next time I visit, I will come to your organization and ask for you. I wonder if they will give up on you or not?"
The Elf man felt dread. He knew the power of Prosper Path Alliance. It was a widely known fact that this alliance was currently the strongest force in the Chaosverse, even though it just came into the picture several years ago.
"Or you can apologize to him and end the matter right now."
Aleron chuckled, 'She really only gave one way to him.'
In the end, the Elf man apologized to Aleron reluctantly before leaving with his two friends.
Shelby and Aleron finished eating before leaving Arena Tower. Aleron got a total of 13,500 Chaos Stones by clearing all floors and bonus stages of the upper floors.
But as they left the Arena Tower, someone claiming to be a member of Lossblaze Palace arrived and handed him a card. Apparently, it was a sort of money card that could be used at most of the places in this city to pay for things in place of Chaos Stones.
The card was from Elder Ken and it contained 10,000 Chaos Stones for him to spend.
His message was flowery, but it could be summed up as "Here's some good amount of money to spend to keep our relationship good and amicable."
It was indeed a good amount. Aleron managing to earn 13,500 Chaos Stones was no small feat. Moreover, Arena Tower was the only place that offered this many Chaos Stones for nothing other than displaying your power.
But the message was ignored by Aleron for the obvious reason of him being a black-mark
individual.
"Now, Shelby wants to do one more thing, if you don't mind," Shelby said with rosy cheeks as she walked glued to Aleron on the street.
"I see you are thinking of something naughty," Aleron chuckled as he felt his right arm pressing into her tender breast.
"Shelby wants to love master and wants to birth your child too," Shelby shyly said.
"Kids, huh? I didn't think about them, but the idea is not bad," Aleron smiled as he imagined
having kids and playing with them. Not just any kids, but godlike kids with their genomes
designed and developed by him to be of limitless potential.
[Gachapi: Hehe, I knew this would happen. Phoenixes, especially of her caliber, need to
become pregnant to go further in evolution.]
'Oh?'
[Astral: Dang, how that works, nii-chan?]
Ignoring new vocabularies found in Astral's recent travel to Aleron's memories, Gachapi
continued.
[Gachapi: Because when phoenixes become pregnant, they start giving all of their life and power essences to their child. Ultimately, they die the moment they give birth.] Astral was shocked, but before he could give a stupid comment, Gachapi continued while sealing Astral's mouth.
[Gachapi: But that death is essential for them because that's when they rise out of their ashes by attaining phoenix nirvana. Of course, they can attain phoenix nirvana even without that, but attaining it in death by fighting or some other accidents would be less than ideal because this can only happen once, and they want to do it via giving birth to give ideal birth to their next generation and also live with them as much as their fate allows it.]
Aleron was amazed.
"Master, it's fine if you want to take time to think about kids," Shelby said with a smile. "I am
not in a hurry. I know your new life has just begun."
Aleron laughed with mirth and stopped walking before placing his hand around her waist and kissing her without care for the public.
"My life has just begun, and so is yours. And I have decided to have kids, not just with you, but with everyone," Aleron grinned. "The family's going to be bigger and more lively."
Shelby's eyes sparkled, one could see her joy increasing before she coyly said, "Then Shelby
has found a good place. Should we go there?"
[Gachapi: Time to seal off Astral again.]
[Astral: Noooooo!!! Not this time! I want to see! You block everything related to project S.E.X!
What is it?! I want to know!]
Gachapi sneered, 'You will never know, brat. I purposely cleared everything related to Master's adult activity from you and all knowledge related to it and made a project file in
front of you to provoke you. You shall suffer, brat.'
[Astral: Nooo000-]
Astral has been sealed for an indefinite time.
...
Wonder Dream Resort.
It was one of the most luxurious, relaxing places in the city. It offered a complete service of
putting one in a state of high mind, increasing their senses and thoughts while letting all of them dictate in a particular direction pushing for pleasure and happiness.
The cost was a whopping 1000 Chaos Stones per head for the only package this place offered.
"Well, let's spend the free money since we got it," Aleron took out the card and gave it to the
reception.
"A package of two please," Aleron said with a smile.
Looking at the duo, the receptionist girl said with a smile, "If you are a couple, then I can
label it as a couple package for the slightly different type of services."
"Is that so? Then please do," Shelby said with a smile.
"As you wish."
After a few seconds, she gave two bracelets to the duo, "Please wear this bracelet. You can
activate it simply using Magilore to know the list of services in detail you will be provided."
"Please wait a minute while a staff member arrives here. She will act as your guide."
After getting two bracelets, the duo got information about the types of services from it via
hologram.
Looking at the list, even Gachapi couldn't help it and uttered, "Holy Cow."
"Gachapi. Time to seal yourself."
[Gachapi: Roger!]
