Chapter 61 Celine

"Why are you here alone, Celine?" Chrys asked.

Celine's gorgeous face made an annoyed expression and said. "I don't have to answer to you, golden boy!"

Morgan chimed in and said monotonously. "I have told you multiple times, Chrys. She isn't willing to cooperate no matter what we do."

Chrys turned to Morgan and asked the person beside her. "Amber, what happened before we got here?"

Amber turned to him and replied. "I-I don't know. The moment we entered, it took only for their gaze to match before they stared throwing threats around."

Chrys then said. "I see... the usual happened."

Before anybody else could speak, Rose went through a high window and caught everyone's attention since she said. "No enemies as far as I could tell. Oh, Miya, you're back already."

Seeing as she gathered everyone's attention by her statement and odd entrance, Rose sheepishly scratched her cheek.

But, her cute act was stopped as she felt a threatening gaze aimed towards her. She turned to the direction of the threatening gaze and saw Celine.

Rose doesn't know who this woman is, but it doesn't take that much to know that the woman, known to others as Celine, isn't very happy.

Rose felt that Celine's eagle-like gaze is shooting through her chest and out her back.

But somewhere in her mind, she kinda gets the feeling Celine is staring at something behind her.

Rose took a glance behind her and saw nothing worth of mention, only the pink wing-like flames that her jetpacks emits that allows her to fly.

"Rose, get down here!" Amber yelled to her.

"Huh? Umm...okay." Rose replied as she descended to the ground. She ignored Celine's gaze that followed her along the way.

Watching Celine follow Rose with her gaze, Chrys called out. "Celine."

Celine peeled her attention away from Rose, and turned to Chrys and said. "I'm not your mother! If you want something do it yourself!"

Chrys ignored her insults and asked calmly. "Where is Set? And also, why are you wearing that cloak?"

Celine then replied. "I don't have to answer any of your questions!"

Chrys then revealed a small smirk as he said. "If you don't want to answer my question, I can get Lilly to ask them for me, if you want of course."

Celine revealed a frown as her beautiful face formed a pained expression.

After a couple of moments of deliberation, Celine replied. "Fine! I'll tell you! Just keep that girl away from me, got that?!"

Chrys only gave her a mischievous giggle while the others just watched.

Celine then spoke. "Idiot and I got cornered by some of 'newer generations' when we got here. I was about to fight them, but Idiot punch me with his fire and said. 'You are in the way'."

"As I was sent flying away with his flames, he burned my clothes. Now, because of that, Idiot got captured." Celine added.

"Why didn't you come back home and asked for help?" Chrys asked.

"Hah, like I care what happens to him and anyone of you." Celine replied.

The three girls went over to Morgan's side as they continued to watch Celine's behavior.

Chrys let out a long sigh before he asked. "Where is he now?"

Celine seemed to ponder for a bit before she said. "... Fine! He is in a building near the center of town. About five kilometers west from here."

"I see..." Chrys said as Celine immediately turned her face away from him.

Chrys turned to Morgan and said. "Morgan, you may have deduced it in our conversation. The Crescent familia is here, be careful."

Morgan gave him a nod and said. "They shouldn't be here, they should be in their hometown."

"Yes, they shouldn't be. Get Celine some clothes while I go and get Set." Chrys said.

Rose chimed in and said. "The Crescent familia consist of Immortals, right? I didn't see any of them when I checked the area."

Chrys turned to her and asked. "Did you fly when you check the surroundings? If your answer is yes, how high did you fly?"

Rose then said. "Yes, I did fly. I flew about halfway to the clouds to check the immediate surroundings, and higher to check the entirety of town in a single glance."

"Then they saw you even if you didn't see them. Amber, go with Celine and Morgan. Rose and Miya stay put since they already know we are suspicious."

"Huh? Wai-" Before Amber could say anything. The ground before Chrys parted away and made a staircase into the ground.

Without a second thought, Chrys went into it.

Rose and Miya went over to inspect the staircase that Chrys went into. Amber then looked over to Celine and Morgan.

An intense atmosphere formed between the two as Amber helplessly just watched from the sidelines.

Morgan withdrew her and pointed at the door while looking at Celine with emotionless eyes.

"Tsk!" Celine then gave her an annoyed click of her tongue.

The two women then headed for the door. Amber looked back at the other two girls her age, who were awkwardly smiling at her while pressing a finger on the tip of their nose.

Amber let out a pained groan before following the two women who went out the door.

Meanwhile, underground, Chrys is casually walking down a tunnel that is seemingly forming before him as a glowing ball of golden light followed him.

About five kilometers ahead of him. A luxurious building stood above ground. The building is filled with various noises.

Metal hitting metal, walls crushing down, pained groans, and moans of pleasure.

In one of the buildings many entrances, a girl soaked in water went inside without drying herself out.

A trail of water is left behind her. The people gathered together in groups and began to chat with each other.

"Hey, did that girl just went inside that building? Does she have a death wish?"

"Probably, since only female Immortals are in there. She won't get the treatment of the men."

"You fools, didn't you see her eyes?! She is one of them!"

"Oh my! Really?! If that's the case, the rumors are true. The Immortals are just born with god-like looks!"

"Hahaha! Don't even think about it, my friend. Their hearts belong only to those they deem as strong."

"So what your saying is, if I can get strong enough, I can experience one those beauties in bed?"

"Hah! You fool! They treat each other as siblings since they are all parented by the Patriarch and not by their parents. And unlike my siblings, they know how to share, if you know what I mean? Hehehe!"

"Hohoho!"

"Oi, keep in your pants. They'll only let you do what you want with them IF you're strong enough. And that's a big IF!"

"What a party pooper."

"What a dream ender."

"What a boner breaker."

"What the hell did I just hear?!"

Meanwhile, inside the mansion. The girl with aqua-colored eyes with dripping clothes, walked through the busy hallways.

Although, they all look different in some ways, they all look pretty similar.

All girls with beautifully tanned skin, unique hairstyles and hair color, confident smiles to complement their eyes.

After weaving her way through the crowded hallways, the girl with aqua-colored eyes entered a room.

The room looks to be a dining room, made to accommodate of what seems to be a hundred people at a time.

In the back wall, a beautiful mosaic window formed the majority of the structure. It doesn't seem to depict anything in particular, just a jumbled masterpiece of colored glass.

There spread around the room are girls with the same looks as everyone else. Tanned skin and black sclera.

The girl with aqua-colored eyes sat down on one of the beautifully crafted chairs on the table.

Everyone in the room, whether they were standing around, sitting, reading, or eating, they all stared at the girl with aqua-colored eyes.

"What's wrong, Aqua? Forgot to change clothes before you went swimming? Hahaha!" One of the girls in the room teased.

The room was then filled with laughter as the girl named Aqua only smiled confidently.

Aqua then spoke in a loud, clear voice. "I found a man, I'm interested in. He is... strong without a doubt."

The moment Aqua finished her sentence, the room went silent, and everyone stopped what they were doing and sat down near Aqua.

"Do tell." They all simultaneously said.

While still smiling, Aqua said. "Where to start? Oh! I know. He approached me so confidently and so menacingly, there's no doubt he is experienced with us. Maybe our older sisters have met him."

"Oh, an experienced man. Hehehe!" The girls snickered.

Aqua continued. "Can you believe that he lifted me with just one arm, and he then proceeded to slam me into a bridge and into the river without a single bit of hesitation?"

"Oh ho, I like it when a boy plays rough. Hehehe!" The girls said while wearing a smile of a predator looking their sights on their prey.

"Alright, I have a solid image of his personality and physical ability. I'm sold! Tell me his description and I'll let you have second." One of the girls said to Aqua

"No, tell me first! And when I get him, I assure you, you can have him for at least a week!"

"No, don't listen to her! I'm older than you so you should tell me!"

The girls then began to bargain with Aqua. Amidst their excitement, things began to break around them.

Mugs being crushed in their hands, chair handles being gripped to pieces, books being mushed together between two hands, handprints on the table, and the floor cracking beneath their feet.

"Ahem..." Aqua cleared her throat, making everyone silent and get back on their chairs.

Although, they were silently waiting. The girls excitement has not been lowered in the slightest, only waiting and ready to pounce at any moment.

"Can I get everyone's word that, I get second no matter what?" Aqua asked.

Everyone then quickly nodded their beautiful faces without saying a word.

Aqua let out a smile, and began to talk. "The man is about average height, and muscle mass is above average seems like he is very active."

"Hair color, just by looking at it, you could tell it has been dyed black."

"Face, quite handsome if I do say so myself. Has a calm, yet fierce feeling from it."

"And his eyes, oh, his eyes..."

"Although he tries to hide it with his hair, his eyes have a strong, caring, deadly, and an overwhelming feeling from them. Ah! It just sends shivers down my spine every time I remember it!"

"And the eye color?" One of the girls asked.

Aqua then stated in a straight, clear voice. "A brilliant golden color."

After hearing enough of the man's description, the girls in the room simultaneously stood up from their chairs with confident and gorgeous smiles.

"Golden eyes? I have heard that description before, where and when was it?" One of the girls thought to themselves.

Before anyone could do anything, the doors to the room swung open. It seemed like a tornado swung them open, as the door was sent flying to the walls to the side.

Everyone focused their attention to the doorway. In the doorway stood a man around the age of thirty.

The man is very handsome. Although his age could be guessed by just the aura around him, his grey hair and beard make him seem older.

His face formed a serious expression, one you would see from someone very strict. His cold looking eyes scanned the room.

He scanned using his blue pupils and his black sclera.

He then spoke in a deep voice. "Now, now, my daughters. This isn't the way I taught you how to greet your Papa."

The girls, who were all standing, felt a cold sweat run down their backs. Some of them even bit down on their bottom lip.

"If you girls aren't coming over to greet me, I'll go over there to greet you myself, like how a great father would." The man said in a deep, booming voice.

Even after the man finished his sentence, nobody dared to move.

The man then counted. "Five, four, three, two..."

"One." As soon as the man's countdown ended, every girls began to ran away with speed that could barely be seen by the average people.

Some went towards the windows, some went towards the walls and looked like they planned to take it down, but none dared approach the man.

Before anyone could really break or escape, the man tackled every single one of them, and placed them in a bear hug.

The seriousness from the man's face disappeared, and was replaced by pure happiness as he hugged every girl in the room with his tanned, muscular arms at the same time.

"Haha! I win! Don't you think Papa did great?!" The man asked the girls in his grasps while looking like he was in utter bliss.

The girls then screamed.

"Aah, let us go!"

"No! We don't like it!"

"P-please, it's too embarrassing!"

"Let us go, Patriarch!"

The man, who is called the Patriarch, looked at the last girl who spoke with a serious expression.

Without letting go of one of them, the man yelled. "Oi, you little shit! Who taught you how to be disrespectful?! Call me by my official title, 'Papa'!"

The man let out a heartfelt smile as the girls in his arms screamed.

"No, we don't call you by that anymore!"

"No one likes that title!"

"It's too embarrassing!"

"We're too old for that!"

The man then burst into laughter as he said. "Hahaha! You could never be too old to recieve a parents love!"

As the chaos in the dining room is continuing, beneath the mansion. Inside it's maze-like basement, and inside a dimly-lit, locked room.

A man is chained up to the wall with his right arm completely encassed in metal. His eyes covered with a metal sheet. His muscular body wrapped in badages and bruises.

His pink braided hair, sitting on his head. The man let out a groan before saying. "Hmm, loud..."
