Chapter 1025 Family
The demon wolf bit off a huge chunk of the grilled cat meat in his hand and talked in a casual tone. “You are doing great, Emery. But at the rate we’re moving at, it will be a few weeks before your pillar is fixed, and unfortunately, I can’t leave the barracks for too long. I am sorry.”
“Don’t worry at all, Senior. You have done a lot, and I am very grateful for your assistance these few days.”
Seeing the look on Emery’s face, Heorgar nodded his head slightly. The magus then talked about how the king had been recruiting more and more warriors for Zodiac City, that’s why he has to return.
“Well… I feel that this Flag Bearer position makes me neglect my duties in the White Fang Clan.” After saying those words, the demon wolf heaved a heavy sigh.
Hearing such words, Emery slightly moved his body forward. He was interested to know more about the White Fang Clan’s condition after the last mission.
“I heard that Chief Beowlf has retired,” said Emery, in the most careful tone he could.
To his surprise, the demon wolf chuckled lightly before saying, “Did you also think so? That old man has fooled me. His injury is actually not as bad as we think…”
Emery was surprised by the unexpected yet welcomed revelation, and asked, “Then, what does he do now?”
The magus adjusted his voice to a low tone and said, “I believe that he’s still looking for clues about the patriarch’s disappearance in secret.”
A startled look appeared on Emery’s face hearing that. “Why… I mean, I’m sure Zodiac City or the Alliance have sent a team to complete that matter, so wh–”
Once again, the magus spoke in a lower tone.
“I will only tell you this, Emery. I think all these rebel conspiracies are not over yet. It’s been almost four years, but no one really knows the fate of the patriarch and your old headmaster…”
Emery doesn’t know how to respond to such an issue. He, after all, only had minimum knowledge about the things happening within the massive Magus Alliance.
The magus, however, chuckled again and said, “Or… The old man Beowlf just so fucking hate this Flag Bearer job, so he throws it to me and leaves on an adventure… Now that I put it that way, it actually makes some sense.” Chuckling, he continued, “So fucking genius… To think I train hundreds of years to beat him… and get his job…”
While Emery was dumbfounded by the monologue the man had just had, the next words that came out of the man’s mouth shocked him so much that it instantly brought him out of reverie and back to reality.
“So how about it, junior? Are you interested in the job?”
“What?! Err.. I mean, what do you mean, senior? I don’t quite get it.”
The demon wolf spat out the meat in his mouth to the bonfire and said, “You have the potential of Rank 8 Wolf bloodline; do you know how rare that is? Besides, you are still very young. So I believe unless you are dead, sooner or later you will take this job off my hands.”
Emery was startled by the words, waving his hands frantically, he quickly said, “No, senior.. I mean… there are still many pack leaders who are much senior and capable than me, so–”
“Hahahaha!”
A boisterous laugh rang out in the air, as Emery stared dumbly at the magus..
“Chill, junior. Chill,” the man’s laughter turned into a chuckle. “I am not talking tomorrow, maybe in a hundred or two hundred years in the future.” But then, he suddenly glanced at Emery seriously and said, “I sort of know of your circumstances. What I am saying is.. Do what you need to do for your home. But in the end, we are your blood family… your pack… think about it”
After saying those words, the magus didn’t say anything else. Their conversation ended on that note and the two of them had some quick rest to relieve their light fatigue. At the first sunlight of the day, they both ran back towards the barracks. Upon arriving, Heorgar said some words of advice and encouragement to Emery before eventually leaving for his duty.
Not wasting any time, as soon as they separated, Emery cast [Spatial Gate] in succession, using it to return to Zodiac City. He only spent about a few minutes until he finally found himself standing in front of his villa in Zodiac City.
When he entered the villa, his attention was immediately attracted by a melodious hum. Following the formless trail, Emery quickly found the Egyptian Queen, currently having a relaxing hot bath. A platter of delicious-looking fruits and drinks could be seen on the side of the bathtub, but Emery’s eyes lay elsewhere.
“Ahh, you’re finally back.. Come join me…”
Klea said those words coquettishly while making waves in the bathtub against her body. Emery subconsciously gulped, and when he finally realized what he had done, he quickly threw his face to the side.
Even though they were already a couple, Emery still felt embarrassed to be this open with the girl. He was about to turn down the offer and let the girl finish her bath, but the next words the girl spoke instantly stopped him from doing so.
“You know… you did leave me here… 5 days… by myself…” Placing her head lazily on the edge of the tub, drops of water dripping from her wet hair, Klea gaze at Emery and said “I’ve been… Lonely”
It was an attack. One so direct, that made Emery helplessly join the bath
…
“Ohh… son of donkey… Emery, you stink..”
His five days of continuous savage activity apparently saved Emery from the maw of a predator, …but only for about 10 minutes before the girl was once again all over him.
Having a naked goddess kissing his neck as if it was candy swiftly made a certain part of his body stimulated to its utmost potential. Latching her body onto his as a snake would, Klea leered at Emery before her cherry lips approached his right ear and whispered, “I’m thinking that we will be doing a lot of training afterward. So… two or three days of fun is not much to ask, isn’t it?”
“…erm.. Yes.. sure..”
…
In the end, the couple spent an entire week together before Emery had to force himself out of the villa. He planned to return to Hyperion, and just like what Julian said, being in the top ranking of the privileged class leaderboard, he could actually bring Klea with him.
“Are you sure you want to come with me? I’m worried that I will be busy doing things and eventually leave you alone, you know.”
“No no..” Shaking her head, Klea pointed her finger at him and said with a cheeky smile, “You will not slack AND will allocate time for me; I will make sure of that.”
However, hearing such words only made Emery more reluctant to bring her. He worried that he would be complacent. “Klea… we only have four months left. We…really can’t afford to waste our remaining time.”
“What do you mean by wasting time?” the Egyptian Queen pouted. “The sage told me to make sure we both understand the [Hexagram Technique] together.”
Emery was silenced by those words, embarrassed to think differently, and decided not to question anymore. But when they were about to leave, to his surprise, Magus Shena stated that she was currently available and willing to accompany him back to Hyperion.
Facing Emery’s confusion, the female magus smiled.
“I am, after all, one of the elite magus, you know. I can come and leave Hyperion as I wish.”
