Chapter 273- The Fate Sure Likes To Lick The Protagonist's Ass (Part 3)
After giving it much thought, if much thought was a few seconds at most, Acht decided on what to do with the protagonist.
killing him was out of the equation for many reasons. Mainly the fact that this guy, as much as Acht hated to admit it, was very important for his future plans. Acht knew how much of a problem magnet he was and to have another that gets in trouble as much as he does was quite helpful.
The other fact, the more important one and the one that made him erase the idea of killing him completely from his mind (at least for the time being) was that the protagonist was meant to save the world.
He was the one meant to become the brightest star in the lower world and Acht can't deny that fact. It was fate that meant for this ball of garbage to become that hero he always dreamt to be.
But, that was it, he can become a hero, a king, or whatever he wanted. Hell, he could even own every nook and cranny of this world for all Acht cared. Except, he won't allow him to put even one single finger on the girls.
It was meant for them to become his harem but that didn't concern Acht, that was that and this was this. Two different timelines where he existed in one and didn't exist in the other.
So, the fact that the girls came to love him, cherish him, and give him their all, he had to reciprocate those feelings too. Protecting them from the clutches of other men was the least he could do.
"So let's get this clear just for the sake of it, you want to get Tania, right?"
"Not only her, but I will also get the others too. I will take everything from you since I was meant to be the one to get them from the start."
"Hmm, good, very good. What was your name again?"
"Engrave it in your mind, bastard. Arthur Brillias!" Arthur said with a wide grin of pride and complete arrogance.
"Let me tell you something, Arthur. You seem like a smart person even though that cleverness is clouded by moronic arrogance. I'm stronger than you. Not only that, I'm stronger, smarter, sharper, and all-around way better than you in every aspect you could think of."
Acht's tone sounded matter-of-factly more than it was arrogant. It was as if he was just simply saying the glaring truth without a shred of bias.
His eyes were cold, calm, and devoid of any malice toward Arthur. The protagonist shuddered as he saw those pair of eyes that looked like a deep abyss rather than normal human pupils.
Those eyes didn't even consider him a threat or an enemy, he was just way beneath them for them to give him any consideration. That deduction led to another whole new collection of emotions to well up in his heart.
Arthur felt his heart thumping loudly as sweat fell down his face. He knew what that feeling was but he didn't want to admit it. If he does then he basically fully lost to this person.
"I am more experienced than you in combat and strategy. I'm better at studying, making relationships, and even making girls fall in love with me. The point is, we are from totally different breeds, you and me, we can't be compared. I can kill you right here and there and continue on with my life as if nothing happened and probably will forget about you the next day. That's how insignificant you are to me."
"You want woman, power, wealth, or whatever, right? Go and find those somewhere else. I don't care what you do or what happens to you. But, if you dare to go near Tania or the others girls even by mistake. I will definitely chase you down to the edge of the world and make you regret the day your dad slept with your mother and conceived you. Go ahead and give it your best and ignore my warning. I would gladly play your little games."
After that, Acht threw Arthur against the wall creating a loud thud that could be mistaken as bones cracking.
Then, leaving behind a cold snort, he nullified the barrier and walked to Tania with a small smile.
"Let's go, Tania."
"Mmm." She nodded her head with a confused look.
She knew Acht put a barrier between them but she didn't know why he did so. Did he tell him something?
"Be careful from that boy, he's after you and the others." He said casually.
"Mmm." She nodded her head while holding Acht's hand gently.
"Now, we couldn't get those terrorists but I'm sure they will appear again. We will get them whenever they appear again. Let's focus on tonight's underground fight."
The two continued walking as they chatted casually, anyone could see the great chemistry between the two. They had such a soft and gentle air around them that could be easily mistaken for that of two loving couples.
Meanwhile, Arthur watched the two walk away. His face was contorted slightly with a frown of sadness and pain.
"Why, why is it like this? Who is that guy? How did my wives end up falling for him? Why is the timeline so messed up?" He murmured as he touched his chest.
The pain of seeing Tania, his sweet and gentle Tania, the one he loved spending time pampering with food and hugging her soft body was now smiling at another man with a loving expression all over her face.
Even when they were so close a few minutes ago, forget about recognizing him, she only looked at him with the cold, emotionless glare that she gave everyone around her.
Tania from his previous life was a girl with few words and even fewer reactions, but when it came to Arthur, she always showed him reactions and cute gestures that showed her deep love for him.
'Don't worry, Tania. I will get rid of that scumbag that tricked you and make you mine. I will also save the others and make them come back to me. You are all mine, always been, and will always be.' He thought as he helped his aching body up and started walking with a determined look on his face.
The thought that she and the others may have never been influenced by Acht and that they were just attracted to him out of their own accord never crossed his mind as he only looked at himself and nothing else.
He had made them his wives in the previous life and he will make them his in this one too.
(PS: The protagonist's change of attitude from the first few chaps of this arc is for a reason, it will be revealed soon.)
