1133 Ah, so he's the bigger dog
"Huh? So this is the Frostspire Clan huh."
Nux commented as he looked around with a curious look on his face. The more he looked, the more his expression changed.
"That is correct." Riona, who was walking with him, on the other hand, seemed much calmer than him and walked normally.
"We need a new base."
Nux commented.
"Huh?" Riona's expression changed, "Why is that?"
"Even a shit clan like this looks better than ours, how can we let that happen?"
"That is because they are supported by the Bloodmoon Clan, we, on the other hand, have built everything on our own. There is no comparison between the two."
"Heh, you make it sound like the Bloodmoon or whatever is better than us."
Nux laughed.
"They have a Saint leading them," Riona replied.
"Saint my ass."
Nux just shook his head.
"Anyways, I have decided.
We will be wiping them out and using this as our new base. No need to waste resources on buying a new one."
"..."
Riona didn't know what to say. In the end, she just decided to change the topic.
"Are you sure we should be coming here?"
"They were the ones who invited us,"
"What if it is a trap? You haven't even used [Core] to mark this place. How are we going to leave if something out of the ordinary happens?"
"I have already confirmed it, there are no Divine Stage Cultivators here. So don't worry and follow me, mother-in-law."
Nux shrugged. Then using this chance, he held Riona's hand and walked in.
"...?"
Riona was confused, she wanted to resist, but... what if it was Nux's way of keeping her safe...? Maybe it is one of his new magic...?
Thinking about it, she didn't say anything and followed him.
Noticing this, a wide smile appeared on Nux's face.
He spread his senses once again to confirm there were no threats here, then, he confidently walked in before being stopped by 2 guards.
"Show your invitation." The guard spoke.
From the smile on his face, it was clear that he recognized who the two of them were, and he had already been informed that the two of them would be visiting, however, he still decided to stop them and ask for an 'invitation.'
"Heh."
Nux couldn't help but laugh.
Was it because he had spent the last 178 years of his life with Vyriana? Or was it because he was quite arrogant to begin with? Nux didn't know, however, he didn't like the smirks on these guards' faces.
Especially considering how they were completely ignoring him and were looking at Riona with a not-so-respectful look in their eyes.
"For mere King Stage Cultivators, the two of you sure are brave."
Nux commented.
"Huh? What did yo-"
Before the guard could say anything, his head disappeared.
"!!!"
The other guard and Riona widened their eyes in absolute shock.
Nux then glanced at the second guard and with the most gentle smile he could muster, Nux questioned, "Do you still need to see my 'invitation'?"
"N-N-No p-please go in."
The guard stuttered as his face paled in absolute horror.
He couldn't even see when this man moved!
"Clean up well, I don't want to see this gruesome sight when I return, is that clear?"
"Y-Y-Yes." The guard nodded.
Nux walked in, still not needing Riona's hand.
"W-Why did you kill him?" Riona questioned.
"He was disrespectful."
"So you killed him!?"
"What else was I supposed to do?" Nux frowned in confusion.
Riona's expression changed.
This man... she was right! He was definitely different than before!
He was... much more ruthless than before.
'Wait... is his Bloodline affecting him? But he is in his Human Form...' Riona couldn't understand.
Nux was definitely not this ruthless before.
There was something wrong.
"You are thinking too much mother-in-law.
Bugs are meant to be squashed.
He should know how to act in front of those who are stronger than him."
"He was ordered by his superiors, it was not his fault."
"So you are saying both of them were being ordered by their superiors?"
"Was that not clear already? Let's not talk about you since they probably can't sense your cultivation, but I am an Emperor.
There is no way two sane Kings would dare to mess with an Emperor, now would they?" Riona questioned.
She didn't particularly care about the guard's life. However, she was worried about Nux's mental state.
"Then why do you think I only killed one of them and let the other live?"
Nux questioned and suddenly, Riona narrowed her eyes in confusion.
Yes, why didn't he kill both of them...?
"Both of them were ordered to act disrespectfully, but that man was enjoying it. I didn't like the way he was looking at mother-in-law."
Saying those words, Nux kicked the doors of the Forstspire Clan's Hall open and walked in.
His eyes fell on a brown-haired, red-eyed, pale-faced man with sharp features. The man wore lavish clothes, a shirt with a brown colored italic coat on top, from how he acted, he looked like a noble.
"Hmm, that's not Kaelin dude, is he? From what I know, he was not a Saint." Nux spoke with a calm look on his face.
"That's Darain Bloodmoon," Riona replied with a sour look on her face.
She didn't think that Kaelin would directly call his master the moment they challenged him.
'What a faithful dog.' Riona snorted inwardly.
"Ah, so he's the bigger dog," Nux commented.
Unlike Riona, who seemed stiff, Nux was calm. No, rather than calm... he looked... unbothered...?
It was as if he wasn't even acknowledging the existence of the man standing in front of him.
And seeing his laidback attitude, Riona couldn't help but calm down as well... For some reason... her son-in-law's back looked quite dependable...
Riona quickly shook her head to get rid of these strange thoughts that filled her mind and focused on the situation in front of her.
"So you are the famous Nux Leander?
I didn't expect you to directly kill that man.
You are quite ruthless." Darain commented as he glanced at Nux with a slight smile on his face.
