Chapter 69: What now?
That escalated quickly.
[ Ding! Patriarch Zhao seems much of a Villain than you ]
Well, you know what can't argue on that. He has become my inspiration.
As the saying goes, Young learns from old, I learned a pretty valuable lesson here and I will apply that to be a perfect villain.
[ What? Are you gonna rape? ]
Well, maybe If I find someone greatly beautiful, intelligent, and mysterious woman, just like a Princess who has multiple secrets up herself.
But! The valuable lesson, I learned is to focus on your goal and erase everyone that comes between your path just like how patriarch Zhao killed his own son, and tried to rape his daughter-in-law.
[ I see, That's interesting, but when are you going to burn the orphanage? Constellation Miso Hen has once again donated 2000 points to you, in hopes of seeing some action ]
"..."
Well, let's do it tomorrow, I heard there is an orphanage nearby that is training children to be servants in a wealthy family.

Back to the point,
" So, you didn't touch her?.... I thought you were going to tell the truth. " saying that, I looked at Patriarch with a wide smile.
Seeing my smile, he turned his head and was baffled, " W-Well, I did try to have my way with her, but, the energy emitting from her body...doesn't let me do anything, "
" I see, so, you couldn't have your way with her because of this energy that is protecting her," Saying that, I leaned closer.
" Y-Yes! I did try to force myself on her...however, the energy constantly repealed my body, despite that, I fought hard, and in the end, the energy couldn't suppress me any longer so, the evil energy tried to end her life, " saying that, patriarch Zhao took a long breath and looked at me.
" I see! What a splendid story...but, what's the actual Truth? I still think something is missing here, something important" Saying that, I looked at the bracelet in his hands.
" N-No! I have told you the complete truth. What I said is the actual story, I didn't hide anything else, " uttering that, he takes off his bracelet and hands it over to me.
" Is that so? "
" Uhmm! " He nods his head.
" Sigh! You are a truly disgusting person, you know that? " I said looking at his long-ass beard.
" Hmm! I know, but, you aren't a saint either, you even protected Quin in the crowd... I was scared, that the monk would use his treasure on her but luckily he didn't, everything was in your hand, you played with everyone perfectly without leaving a single hole...
But it didn't escape my eyes, I also know you are weak to woman...
Saintess of heaven's door, and my granddaughter, I know very well, that you have already cooked rice with them, currently, you are eying on the princess, meanwhile, the current matriarch of the Yang Family is your side piece...these are just four women you have set eyes in this week, who knows how many women you have slept with,
From the downfall of the Yang family to the power dispute of East Mountains, everything was in your control, I highly believe, the death of Xiao is also your doing, so that way, you can control the Heaven's Door sect too.
I am pretty impressed by your intelligence and wisdom, within a week of your arrival, you have everything under your control. However, I do not wish to fight, my Zhao family surrendered, and we are willing to be under your control, " Saying that, patriarch Zhao knelt to the ground.
" Is that so? You really wanna surrender? " I chuckled slightly hearing his words of surrender and praises.
" Uhmm!
There is no point in fighting a losing battle, you have already destroyed the Yang Family, The Heaven's Door Sect will soon be in your hands, and the Gu family and Li families will soon decline...My Zhao family doesn't have enough power to fight against you, that's why I think the option is to surrender, " he muttered while his hands were quivering.
" I see! You should be an author, you describe a story pretty well, nevertheless, your sincerity disappoints me... Lies after lies," my cold and dangerous voice echoed through the room.
With a swift motion, I unsheathed my sword, its blade catching the glint of dim light in the room.
Gulp!
His eyes widened, registering a mix of fear and realization, while he swallowed his saliva one last time before I delivered the decisive strike, separating his head from his body.
The room fell into a haunting silence while only the blowing out of his neck was ringing in my ears.
" So? What's your game? " I said looking at the dead body of patriarch Zhao but no answer came by.
Even though, I was speaking while looking at a dead man, my words weren't meant for someone else.
" I see, then, let's end it, " saying that, I pointed my sword at sleeping Zhao Wang.
My sword began to flow with an ominous red aura, while I rapidly struck at her neck, however, just before, my sword could touch her skin, she finally opened her mouth, " W-Wait! "
After saying that, she glanced at my sharp sword that was one inch away from sending her to Yama.
Huff!
She takes deep and heavy breaths trying to calm herself down while her gaze roams at me.
" H-How do you know...I was awake? " She asked with a nervous tone.
" Ah! Uh! The one questioning should be me, not you... " Saying that, I leaned closer to her and grabbed her chin.
" First thing first, why did you try to seduce me?...is it to take my essence? "
Hearing my question, she grits her teeth and looks at me furiously.
" Angry? Because I killed your puppet? " saying that, I couldn't help but slap her with powerful force.
Slap!
A loud slap echoed through the room while her cheeks turned red, the way she looked at me made me wanna kill her right now, if she was any other woman or a regular man, I would have long killed her.
