Chapter 1154 Rune, come with me.
Nux spoke and Oberon couldn\'t believe what this Man just said.
"I said that you should send Rune with me, I promise I will protect and treat her well," Nux repeated.
His father-in-law was old so he was quite patient with him.
He was a good son-in-law.
"Are you saying that you can protect my daughter better than me?"
Oberon narrowed his eyes. Nux may be someone who was currently the entire Yrniel\'s center of attention, however, no father would stay silent if someone dared to say something like this to them, especially when a father was a Divine Stage Cultivator, one of the strongest beings to ever exist.
Oberon\'s annoyance could be felt clearly, Nux, however, just smiled playfully and nodded, "That is correct."
"Is that so…?"
Oberon muttered, his voice unexpectedly calm, Rune, however, could tell that her father\'s actual mood was the extreme opposite of what he was currently showing.
"Boy, you better prove those words this instant, else I might do something I would regret for the rest of my life."
Oberon spoke.
It was a direct threat.
And Nux, who understood the meaning behind those words smiled even more.
He was not a fool, he wasn\'t antagonizing Oberon without a reason. He had a goal and that goal was to bring Rune with him and knowing Rune, he was absolutely sure that this woman wouldn\'t come with him no matter what he did.
So he decided to change the strategy and decided to convince the father-in-law instead and the best way to do that?
It was to prove himself in front of him.
"Father-in-law, I walked into this room, spied on the two of you, and none of you could sense my presence, do I need any more proof than this? Just like you two, I can assure you that others wouldn\'t be able to sense my presence either.
How do you expect them to defeat me when they can\'t even tell where I am?"
"Oh? And what about right now? Let\'s forget Rune for a while, you are standing right in front of me, are you confident enough to escape if I try to attack you? Am I, as a father, allowed to test that out?"
Oberon questioned, there was no expression on his face, but both Nux and Rune could tell what this man was actually thinking.
And his thoughts weren\'t peaceful at all.
"I appeared in front of you because I trusted that you wouldn\'t attack me, father-in-law."
"So you are saying you can\'t escape if I attack you."
"Well, that\'s not exactly true, I do have my ways, but they are things I would rather not reveal.
You see, it\'s my trump card of sorts."
"Heh, so you need a trump card just so you can escape from a person who is not even capable enough to protect his daughter."
Oberon chuckled.
Nux, however, shook his head, "You misunderstood my words, Father-in-law. I never said you were weak, I only said I can protect her better than you."
Oberon narrowed his eyes.
"The two are not the same, Father-in-law," Nux spoke.
Then, he waved his hand, and a portal formed in front of Rune.
"Rune, walk in."
He spoke and his voice had such a strong compelling force to it that even Rune, who was known for her stable and rational mind, walked into the portal, only to realize what she did after she entered the portal.
However, it was already too late by then.
Nux had already closed the Portal. Then, he turned towards Oberon and,
"Even if all the powers in the world come together and spend all the resources they can, I can assure you that none can find her now, let alone harm her.
I never said I am stronger than you, I know my limits, I only said that if it is just about protecting Rune, I am capable enough to do it.
As for keeping her happy, I promise you that I will give my all to do it."
Nux spoke with a genuine look on his face, at the same time, he opened the portal again, allowing Rune to return.
Oberon glanced at his daughter before turning back to Nux.
"Father, I agree with him."
Suddenly, another voice was heard.
Everyone in the room turned towards the direction and saw a man walking in.
It was Felix.
"I have been keeping an eye on Sister for a long time now and I can assure you that her lifestyle is not the least bit healthy, she worries too much, sending her with Nux is the safest option.
It\'s not like it would be the first time Nux will be protecting her."
Oberon narrowed his eyes.
"The incident related to Mother and the Skythron Falcon City, Nux was the one who helped us. Well, not exactly us, he was just helping sister, we just got lucky."
Felix clarified and hearing those words, Oberon glanced at Nux, this time, his expression was different than before.
"Not only did he protect Sister from Mother and other assassins who were after her, but he was also the one who exposed Mother\'s actions in front of me, revealed her true nature, and convinced me to help you.
He is pretty much the mastermind behind our victory against the Skythron Falcon City.
And he was only a Sage back then.
I can only imagine how much he has changed now that he is a Semi Saint."
Felix spoke and Nux, who heard his words couldn\'t help but smile widely.
His brother-in-law was really playing his role as he was told to.
And to think that Sage has now returned as a Semi Saint…
"Father, I have a request."
\'A great brother-in-law indeed.\'
Nux nodded in his head.
Oberon, on the other hand, continued to observe Nux and suddenly, all the doubts he had were solved.
How Rune managed to convince Felix, how she got her hands on the Mystic Parasite that those Blood suckers monopolized, or how she found all spies within an instant…
Oberon knew someone did help her daughter but…
For that someone to be a mere Sage…
And to think that Sage has now returned as a Semi Saint…
"Father, I have a request."
Suddenly, Felix spoke up.
Oberon turned towards his son.
"Please make me the next heir."
Felix requested and both Oberon and Rune seemed surprised.
Felix, however, ignored their surprise and turned towards Rune, "Sister is not suited to be the City Lord, going with Nux is a much better option for her, since he is all she thinks about."
"What are you talking about?"
Rune, who had been silent all this time finally spoke up.
"Am I lying? Isn\'t the reason you worry about those clans so much because they are looking into that matter and trying to find the whereabouts of the person who helped you? Aren\'t you working this hard so that you can protect Nux from those clans?"
Felix questioned Oberon and this time, even Nux seemed surprised by this.
Oberon turned towards his daughter and questioned.
"Is that true?"
"Father, I only do this because I do not wish my benefactor to get in harm\'s way because he helped me."
Rune clarified and while she was at it, she turned towards Nux and,
"Also, stop calling him Father in law, you are giving out the wrong message here. Father, I have no such relationship with Nux, he is a close friend, the two of us are not involved romantically."
"Yet."
Nux completed Rune\'s words.
"…"
"…"
Both Oberon and Rune turned silent.
"Come with me, Rune," Nux asked shamelessly.
"No. That would defeat the purpose of me working so hard for all these years. The moment I leave with you, they will start looking into you and that is the last thing I want." Rune shook her head.
Nux, however, just chuckled,
"Rune Feline, I don\'t think you understand the Dynamic here."
Rune narrowed her eyes in confusion and suddenly, Nux\'s smile turned cold,
"Even if they won\'t look into me, I am not planning on leaving them alone.
I will be standing against those clans eventually and I need strong people to help me fight them. It is time you return the favor, Rune, come with me, join ExceedoGenesis, as for the Feline Cat City, leave it in your brother\'s hand. He is a capable man, he can handle it."
"…you heard how you toyed with Darain, Nux. I am not much stronger than him, so even if I want to, you have reached a level where I cannot help you anymore." Rune spoke, from her tone, she sounded disappointed.
"See this is where you are wrong."
Nux, however, shook his head.
"You are much different Darain Bloodmoon.
You are my \'friend\'.
And I need you to be by my side."
He spoke as he looked into the Cat woman\'s eyes.
"…"
Rune didn\'t say anything.
But then,
"Rune."
She heard a voice.
Rune turned towards her father and,
"Go with him."
Oberon spoke.
