Chapter 1151 Adversity forges strong individuals.
"You should knock before you enter."
"Tsk Tsk, acting like this when I am returning after dealing with the people who have been bothering you, how cold."
"Yes, Yes, I have heard the news."
"You could have watched the entire battle you know?"
"I do not want that, I have better things to do. There is no point in watching a battle I already know the results of."
"To think my mother-in-law trusts me so much, I feel so loved." Nux chuckled.
"I only trust my daughter.
There is no way she would allow you to fight if she didn\'t think you would win."
Riona clarified.
Nux stared at her with a deadpan look on his face. Then, he just shook his head and, "Anyways, is there anyone else you want me to deal with? Anyone who dared to bother my lovely mother-in-law while I was gone?" Nux questioned as he held Riona\'s hands.
"There is no one like that…"
Riona spoke, her voice, however, was much lower than normal.
Memories of when she stood alone with Nux holding her hand a few days ago played in her mind and she quickly lowered her head.
"Why are you holding my hand…?"
She questioned.
"Hmm? It\'s obviously my reward for winning."
"Didn\'t you take your reward in advance…?"
"Huh? I did?" Nux tilted his head in confusion. Then, he just shrugged, "Then just treat this one as the reward for the next bug I deal with."
Shamelessness was the way indeed.
"…"
Riona didn\'t know what to say.
"Tsk Tsk, look are you, flirting with your mother-in-law."
Suddenly, Nux and Riona heard a voice. Riona widened her eyes in shock as he quickly pulled back her hands and saw Allura standing inside the room with a playful smile on her face.
"You don\'t have to worry about that, Allura. I have already gotten the permission." Nux raised his thumb.
"Huh? Permission?" Riona\'s expression changed.
Nux, however, completely ignored her and turned towards Allura,
"Anyways, what are you doing here?"
"Lady Vyriana is here," Allura replied.
"Hmm?" Nux frowned in confusion.
"She says she wanted to talk to you."
"Huh? Why didn\'t she appear before me like she used t-"
Nux wondered, soon, however, his expression changed as his eyes fell on Riona.
"…"
Riona seemed to have realized the reason as well since her face turned red.
Nux\'s smile widened, "How considerate of her." He commented.
Then, he turned towards Riona and, "Mother-in-law, we will continue this later."
"I would prefer not to."
Riona replied.
"Cold indeed."
Nux shook his head as he walked away.
…
"Vyriana."
Nux greeted with a big smile on his face.
"You are quite shameless," Vyriana commented.
"I am just a man who is following his instincts," Nux replied, knowing what Vyriana was talking about.
"I\'d say you are just a man who has no self-control."
"I am quite greedy, I agree. How else do you think I got the galls to set my eyes on you?"
"Don\'t even try."
"I have been trying for decades now, Vyriana."
"And you still failed."
"I\'d say I am making some progress."
"You are delusional." Vyriana snorted.
Nux, however, just smiled playfully as he walked and sat right next to her. Vyriana didn\'t mind, she then glanced at him and the other women and spoke,
"Alright, I know you have many questions, I don\'t want to keep you in the dark but they told me not to share too much information either, so ask what questions you have,
If I can, I will answer them."
She didn\'t wish to play any games, especially with Nux and his wives, who were people she trusted.
"I only have one question."
Nux spoke.
"Why is the Order not doing anything? The situation may be complicated, but I doubt the Order would not have the power required to solve everything and keep everything in check again. Heck, even those 20 Cultivators you defeated, they alone will be enough to set everything like it was before, no?"
"I will not deny that. The current issue of the Order losing its influence, it can be fixed quite easily. Rather, its solution is so simple that we simply do not care enough to act."
"…" Nux frowned in confusion.
"We have a bigger target."
"The Black Order."
Nux commented.
"That is correct." Vyriana nodded.
"Half of the current Top Clans represent the Black Order while the other half is made from the Order\'s forces. Of course, these so-called Top Clans are nothing but doll houses in overall view of things.
The Black Order is actually much stronger than what it is showing. It has been hiding in Yrniel for thousands of years, making it hard for us to catch them but they are finally making a move now and we plan to use this chance to get rid of them once and for all.
The Order has decided to pull back all its main force and once the Black Order makes a mistake, we will go for an all-out attack."
"And what happens to the people in Yrniel while the Order is trying to annihilate the Black Order? What about the people who died because of all the chaos that has spread all over Yrniel?"
Evane questioned.
She was a woman with an extremely pure heart, she didn\'t like the current dull situation of Yrniel and wanted to do something about it.
Vyriana glanced at the Skyfall Queen for a while, then, she just shrugged,
"They died because they were weak."
Evane\'s expression changed.
"This is no fantasy world, Evane. Death is a common occurrence, we protected the people of Yrniel for years, hoping they would grow stronger without having to worry about anything, but that has made them weaker instead.
I, for one, wanted this to happen for a long time now.
Adversity forges strong individuals.
And the strong is what we need.
As for the weak… they can only kneel and beg for their lives."
