Chapter 470 That Mist...
A normal, 2-star dagger appeared in Nux\'s hand and,
*Clank*
He blocked Riona\'s attack with a smile on his face.
"Heh, do you think you will get stronger if you get angry? What? Did you think you were the main character here?" Nux chuckled.
"Huh? What?"
Riona furrowed her brows in confusion.
"Nothing."
After a small laugh, Nux pushed her away.
"Also, don\'t try to scare me with that stupid Black energy of yours, it is nothing but a combination of Fire and Wind."
"How do you know that?"
Riona narrowed her eyes.
"Amaya told me of course." Nux shrugged.
Suddenly, Riona frowned.
She then glanced at Nux and narrowed her eyes,
"What was your relationship with my daughter?"
"Didn\'t she tell you already?" Nux pointed at Thyra.
"Don\'t think you can fool me, that girl would never reveal the secret of this technique to anyone random."
Nux smiled disdainfully, "You talk as if you know her."
Riona narrowed her eyes again, "Trust me, I know her better than you do."
"I highly doubt that."
Nux shook his head with a smile on his face.
\'If only you knew.\'
Thyra, who was listening to their conversation shook her head and sighed.
"So you admit you were close to my daughter, don\'t you?"
Suddenly, Riona muttered.
"…"
Nux turned silent.
He couldn\'t believe that he got played so easily.
\'This bitch.\'
He cursed inwardly.
He glanced at Riona again, however, rather than the winning smirk that he expected would appear on her face, her expression looked rather serious.
"You were close to my daughter, why are you hesitating even though I am giving you a chance to avenge her?"
"…"
Nux didn\'t say anything.
"Are you perhaps scared of the retaliation? No, with your strength, there is no way you would be scared of Duke Fulvanius coming for you. Ah, so it must be her.
You are scared that Lady Astaria would go after you, aren\'t you?"
Riona questioned.
"…" Again, Nux didn\'t say anything and continued to look at Riona.
"You do not have to fear her, just like Lady Astaria, my Kingdom has an Emperor Stage Cultivator as well. After you complete this mission, you can come to live in our Kingdom. Without anything in return, of course. Rather, if you wish, I would even give you a position where even the Dukes would have to bow in front of you.
Of course, if you wish to not reveal yourself, then I won\'t give you any position and you can stay in seclusion, doing whatever you want…"
Then Riona glanced at Thyra and spoke,
"And with whomever you want."
"…"
Hearing those words, Thyra turned silent and Nux chuckled.
Riona really was Amaya\'s mother.
"Your man is too simple."
Suddenly, Nux spoke.
"What?"
Riona questioned with a confused look on her face.
"We are not scared of anyone, neither do we need your Kingdom for refugee. As for the revenge, heh, we will avenge Amaya on our own. Your plan is just too simple.
Just assassinate someone who dared to attack Amaya? Heh, too simple, too easy. Death is an easy way out. I will show Raguel was hell on earth looks like.
He would regret ever laying hands on my Amaya."
Nux spoke with a crazy smile on his face.
Riona was taken aback, soon, however, she focused on much more important work.
"My Amaya? What do you mean? What was your relationship with my daughter?"
"Heeh? Didn\'t you say you know your daughter better than me? Why are you asking me then?"
Nux snorted.
He was still a little salty about before.
Riona\'s face twitched in annoyance.
"Just answer the question."
Riona ordered.
"And who do you think you are to order me around?"
Nux chuckled.
"I am her mother."
"Heh."
Nux laughed out loud again.
"What I did was important."
Suddenly, Riona spoke.
Nux and Thyra narrowed their eyes,
"What do you mean?"
Nux questioned.
"…"
Riona didn\'t say anything for a long time.
"You are correct, I was the one who sent her away when she was just a child, I was a cruel mother who abandoned her child. I know that.
However, I was forced to do so.
If I hadn\'t, Amaya would have died."
"Explain yourself."
Nux spoke with a serious look on his face.
"Why should I? Who are you? What is your relationship with my daughter? Do you even deserve to know the truth?"
"I\'ll only give you one chance to explain yourself, believe me, if you don\'t explain yourself, you will regret it in the future."
With such a vague reply, Riona would have walked away if it was someone else, however, since the topic was about her daughter, she didn\'t walk away and started thinking.
After thinking for a while, she finally decided to reveal everything,
"In the Kin-"
However, before she could begin, Nux interrupted.
"Actually, you should come here tomorrow, and explain everything properly, with as much proves as you can, if you manage to convince me, then I promise you, something great will happen."
"Something great?"
Riona frowned.
"Just trust me."
Nux smiled mysteriously.
Riona frowned.
"Be sure to prepare well, Riona. Remember, tomorrow, same place, same time"
After he said that, Dark Mist seeped out of his body and covered his and Thyra\'s body. A few seconds later, the Dark Mist disappeared and Nux and Thyra were nowhere to be seen.
"Where did they go!?"
The King Stage Assassin spoke in panic.
He couldn\'t believe that two people, who were standing right in front of him just… disappeared!
This was ridiculous!
She turned towards Riona to see if she knew anything, however, the woman was just too shocked to say anything.
"Lady Riona?"
The man frowned, what they saw was shocking, but for Lady Riona to just stay in one place with her mouth opened in shock…
What he didn\'t know was that Riona had different thoughts in her mind.
"That Mist… It… it w-was the c-curse…"
