Chapter 173 Heart Broken Little Girl...
Kevin could not believe what he was looking at.
It was already surprising that Knight Sheyi went ahead to visit Chikitsa for sightseeing purposes. He also had to send his creepy obvious doll to kidnap the head of the Bureau for cultivators in the dead of night.
This was absolutely absurd.
And the bronze knight was still smiling and talking about maintaining the treaty between the Holy Church and the Twelve Zodiac Houses.
Only this kidnap had violated that treaty heavily.
Kevin was truly at a loss for words.
"What if the Clan notices the elder's absence," Kevin asked in worry.
"Don't worry! No one is going to miss this grumpy fellow!" knight Sheyi stroked his fingers about the elder's face, "besides, we will send him back real quick. We just need his help with something very important."
Knight Sheyi brought his lips closer to the ear of the tied-up elder, "after all, it concerns a certain troublesome boy! Chiron..."
The moment Elder Harden heard that name, his brows lifted in questioning...
...
Meanwhile, back at Chiron's compound, Elder Fatso had made a guest entrance. It was one that Chiron really wished would have not happened.
Only a little more time and his plan to rack in those points might have become fulfilled right on the spot.
"Nora!" Elder Fatso called out. Nora walked forward and bowed before him.
Elder Fatso looked around. he could clearly see that they were just engaged in a serious battle. However, he could care less. There were more important things that needed attention.
"You are needed in the Chief's Manor!" He spoke in a stern manner. Regardless of the fact that he had rudely interrupted an age-old tradition, his tone was not polite, to say the least.
Elder Fatso looked at the faces of the children around. He frowned a bit.
As a really senior elder within the clan, he was familiar with the top talents in other clans.
To see all of them gathered here at the same time, he could not help but look back at Nora. Obviously, they were here for her.
"Also, you are henceforth forbidden from participating any more in the Preliminaries before the actual competitions. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Elder!" She bowed again.
This time around, he had said this with actual care. After all, they were three top talents from other clans that had come for her life. It would be such a shame for the clan to lose talent and asset such as this because of some petty rivalry.
Subconsciously, his eyes whizzed along Chiron's side, "useless!" he muttered lowly before turning and walking away with her.
As he did, another figure also landed.
"Willow!" he called out.
"Father!?" Willow was surprised to see her old man. But she was not the only one. Chiron was also surprised. Or rather, he was impressed to see that the man managed to shake himself out of Emma's silent spell.
What he did not know was that it was the loud entrance made by Elder Fatso that shook his mind from her spell. Otherwise, he might have remained in that trans state of terrible indecision between fatherly love and sexual pleasure.
"Come! we are going back to the Inn. He gave the command with absolutely no room for disobedience on his face.
However, as Elder Fatso looked at him, he could not help but not take the man seriously.
After all, he had just arrived with an obvious Boner in his pants.
Elder Fatso Coughed awkwardly as he signalled the man of the Chaos going on in his pants.
Willow's father noticed this, but feigned ignorance. Still, he secretly regulated his spirit energy to calm his manly tension down.
Willow took one last look at Carla before walking away.
Rattle paused. He looked around. he was a very logical person. There was no need for him to continue fighting. Especially since the person he had come here for had just left.
He used this opportunity and excused himself. However, he could not help but take one last look at Chiron as he left. After all, he could not feel even an ounce of spiritual energy from Chiron's body from the beginning to the end of the fight.
But as a natural-born strategist, he could tell that from the beginning of the fight to the abrupt end of it, Chiron had been in charge without even lifting a finger.
For a person like Rattle, he could sense the kind of danger a person like Chiron posed.
Everyone had gone. Well everyone except Lofty.
He looked at Carla and frowned. She had cost him heavy injuries.
He really wanted to revenge. However, he could also see the little Green skinned shadow Leopard about Chiron.
Even though the Cored beast acted cute and sweet, he knew from the earlier fight that if he engaged in battle, he would not win.
Carla alone was a problem. If he had to deal with Hunter, even he could tell he would not win.
Also, Chiron that had been standing in a corner all this while looked too calm and composed.
Lofty had lived in a clan of men and women that were made violent by their choice of cultivation and weapon.
He was very sensitive to madness, and for some reason, he could tell that Chiron fell under that Category.
He pointed his cutlass at Chiron, "you had better participate in the tournament. I will be coming for you."
Chiron did not even look at him.
How could he? before his eyes, Lofty could not even pass for a snack.
Once the last of them had left, Emma appeared Chiron. She had on her face a veil. This she now wore on Chiron's instruction. The power of a succubus was that effective. just the sight of her face curves alone was deadly. To add her looks to the mix would be overkill.
Besides, Chiron liked to keep his cards hidden well behind his sleeves.
Even when she went to work at the lost treasure at night, she did not reveal her face. Fortunately, those that walked at the lost treasure used masks to hide their identities as a regulation rule.
"Forgive me, master!" Emma bowed at Chiron. Willow's father had broken out of her Spell. She knew this was a failure on her side.
However, Chiron could not be bothered with this.
This small but quick event had let him understand that he was not yet as prepared for the worse as he thought he was.
It had been a while since he checked on his power cow. He realized that a quick visit would be necessary.
As he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a tiny voice mention his name.
he turned to the source of it. It was a familiar face, but it was one that he had not seen in a long time.
It was Zi.
Zi took look at Chiron. She wanted to say something. However, her words were stuck in her mouth.
She had not seen him for a long time and had decided to come to visit today. However, she met a fight instead.
She had watched as Carla and Nora had fought for Chiron.
both of them were strong. She had come with a fruit basket in hand, but after seeing what she had seen, she realized that Chiron was not only capable, but so were the women around him.
This made her feel unworthy to even talk to him. But she just could not hold back her feelings as they flooded out of her mouth and called his name.
From the moment she had come and was hiding beside the house, Chiron had noticed. However, she was like a passing ant unworthy of his attention. Therefore, he never gave it to her.
He took a short look at her before turning his head away.
For him, it was just a look, but for her, it was her world crashing around her. And then she had to watch as the curvy Emma followed behind him, and her former competitor who was Carla also followed behind him.
No one needed to tell her before she knew that she was unworthy to follow him.
Unknown to her, as Carla passed by, Carla heavily wished she could switch positions.
Zi could not hold the throbbing in her chest any more, and her heart emptied its contents through her eyes as she ran back home.
At this time, Chiron did not know that yet another Fate had slightly shifted because of just one underrated look of contempt.
Later that night, Chiron visited the Cave with the Dragon egg in it.
Unlike before, there were now twelve fire rings around the egg.
Even Chiron Could tell that the Dragon's power had increased significantly since that last time.
He walked up to where the egg was. The moment he came close, the egg seemed to glow a bit. This was evidence that it was exciting to see him.
Chiron put a hand on the egg and stroked it affectionately, "Hmmm! I'm excited to see you too. I'll be needing something from you. You see, your siblings are a bit too weak."
As he spoke, he made a curt across his forearm and then he controlled the blood to make a very small hole in the egg that burrowed straight into the dragon within.
The Egg shook a bit. However, Chiron did not stop. He drained some of the dragon's blood into a jar he had prepared ahead of time.
Once he was done, he left. After all, the tournaments were soon to start.
