Chapter 146: Dominate (2)

Perseus POV

"Fuck, it's your turn, would you at least be merciful and let me get something to eat and have a short nap?"

"Hmm." Lilith placed a finger to her lip to fake a pondering pose "No, I like it when your weak."

I've already been strangled, what's a demon general going to do? I may have experienced torture before, but I've been reborn, this body isn't used to the same pain, well if the powers I have and memories are attached to my soul, hopefully pain tolerance...

But damn it, I'm being passed around like a bag of weed, why do these girls enjoy dealing out torture like it's nothing? Leilah's strength was so strong, I was in pain the hold night because she didn't hold back, I think my arms broke 2 times during the time she was asleep.

"Look, will you let me go if I tell you the private message your mother has for you?"

"You'll tell me either way, so what's stopping me?" she countered

"Um, good point. Can I at least have Buddy with me?"

"No, I don't want any disturbance." she then backed me up against the wall "Unless you had any when you violated my mother."

"Woah, that might be too far, besides, this is your mom's fault. Meira and I were having a moment."

"So what did she say?" she asked as she took out a dagger to file her nails

"Um, she said that she's sorry for not helping you more, she apologize for your comparison to Leilah and should have helped you stand out more as a unique individual, she wish to take you out on a nice private dinner for a talk when you 2 meet again."

"That's it?" she raised an eyebrow

"Yes, now please let me go." I pleaded

"I have to also do my fill for Ruka." she responded

"Look, I'll um...I'll marry you when I'm 17 years of age, I'll do the organization and invitation and everything."

"Aren't men already expected to do half of them?"

"Yeah, I'll do 100% if you let me go today."

"Will you propose to me first?"

"Well Leilah always come first...besides, marry you? You don't even like me like that."

"Well, I don't trust Maple in your hands. And it won't be long till I'll be close to her, so I also plan to keep her safe." she replied "Anyway, 1 hour of torture plus all you just said, it doesn't have to be when you're 17, but before you're 20, now let's get started, because that 1 hour will feel like 10."

Fuck.

*****

I could barely eat after Lilith did whatever she wanted for revenge. I then rested in the living room's couch which I then slowly fell asleep and woke up to see my younger brother playing with Buddy, which I then spend about 2 hours with, he had trouble with his homework, so I just tried my best.

Math was easy, but I don't know answers to his history questions, like who was the 5th village chief or something along that line. I suck at those stuff. I woke up the next day due to my exhaustion to see chief Aminu and grandpa Laker home sitting on the couch in front of me.

Buddy is sitting on the armrest of my couch and I had a blanket draped over me, I can also see bit marks on the blanket, so it was the fox who did it which I then gave him a treat as I woke up.

"Gramps, why are you home?"

"I got fired." he replied nonchalantly and shrugged "In their words, I didn't live up to expectations, but I've outlived my use which was to either convince you to join them or teach them our secrets, which I refused."

"Is that why you weren't there at the fight with that stupid lightning fast knight, do you not want to get revenge on any of em? I can help."

"I'm not that angry." he waved me off

"What?! Aren't we taught to beat the shit of the people who screwed us over?"

"Well, yes, but I don't want to endanger our people by antagonizing the heroes."

"You do realize that both sides of the war plan the next one to be the last, and whichever side comes up the victor will target us next, we lack numbers despite all our strength, you know."

"We know that." Chief Aminu joined in "Why the hell do you think I'm training you to be my successor? We need a Paradis to lead us when the time comes."

"When, you're not even using if anymore."

"That's why I'll still be taking on the teaching job till then." Grandpa Laker said "I'll stay behind here and do that, I'll also help keep your weapons progress in check, I heard you have a unique design for that 10 star weapon."

"I also requested for some plating for my shoulder and some parts of my body, I'm getting geared up for the times coming up ahead."

"I also heard you'll be joining in the tournament, which is a good thing." Chief Aminu smiled "I'll train you, and I want one thing and one thing only. Make it to the top 4."

"Why?"

"Intimidation." he replied quickly "I need a person from our village to dominate and you can forfeit afterwards, it would scare the world of our potential and what we're building up, besides, your grandfather shall share the credit in tutoring you, it would prove everyone else wrong for firing him."

"You'll just scare the world more."

"Well, there are better plays in this large game of chess, but we'll be moving taking the first move." Chief Aminu replied "Heroes? Demons? None of them would matter."

"Fine, but I need to go to the east continent a bit, I need to investigate a few things."

"No, you'll stay here until right before the date of the talent stage ends, you can get your approval in the east continent, from your grandfather, the heroes are going to get intensified training and people are no longer going to coddle them due to your rise, so I'll have to make sure you can dominate and let the world know we are not to mess with."
