156: Raincheck, And Another Luckier Person Than Rael 156: Raincheck, And Another Luckier Person Than Rael “How can I trust you?” Nyzzara asked, sending a jab his way.
Rael raised a brow and dodged it before sweeping her feet and causing her to fall flat on her ass.
“When it comes to politics, I’ve heard people say I’m a pretty trustworthy man,” Rael remarked with a chuckle as he extended his hand to help her up.
Yet instead of getting up, she grabbed the hand and pulled him down to the ground before putting him in a chokehold.
“Those rumors don’t travel to Ogarak.
The only thing I know is that you’re the king of Celestara, and that Zafira Sutekh is the queen,” Nyzzara stated, tightening her grip on his neck.
Rael sighed and suddenly brought his arms down and pinched both sides of her waist, making her ease up her grip.
The moment she did, Rael thrust his head backward, hitting her straight on the chin as he stood up right after.
Rael glanced down at her, and it looked like she wasn’t done.
In fact, she was standing up with a ferocious grin.
But he had to stop this barbarian fantasy here and now.
while I do like foreplay, now’s not the time,” Rael said, narrowing his eyes.
He said that, but Nyzzara’s eyes remained fixated as she lunged at him, trying to topple him over.
“Okay, I think you need to go into time-out,” Rael said and flicked his fingers.
She was immediately bound by tentacles, unable to move.
Rael’s brows twitched.
I thought I imagined ropes…?
Nonetheless, tentacles worked fine, so he simply approached her and lifted her chin, staring straight into her eyes again.
This time, they seemed calmer, yet they also portrayed anger as she couldn’t exactly escape those tentacles.
She could obviously will them away if she tried.
But she was too preoccupied with pinning him down.
He was growing tired of trying to convince her.
“I have special abilities that let me get certain items.
I can buy you new soil.
I can buy you cattle, and I can definitely buy you a filtering system,” Rael said.
“All I ask is that you break off the talks.
This is the final time I’m offering this.” With that, he unbound her from the tentacles.
She halted, no longer rushing toward him as a serious look appeared on her face.
“You’re no fun.” Rael scoffed.
You’re one collar away from becoming a beast.” She tilted her head with a grin.
“Do you want to be the one to put that collar over my neck?” “No thanks,” Rael immediately declined.
In barbarian culture, receiving an ornate necklace was typically called getting a collar.
In that context, a woman who received one was considered married.
And I’m definitely not getting married again.
Rael nodded to himself.
“I’d need much more time to consider your offer…
and I am willing to halt the negotiations.” Rael raised a brow.
“But?” “We’re going to have this talk again.
Just this time, in my territory,” Nyzzara said with a smile, then tapped the air.
Yes/No> Rael heaved a relieved sigh and pressed ‘Yes.’
New Friend: Nyzarra Vorrakai> “Just know, I’ll wring you dry,” Nyzzara teased as she looked around.
“But how do I get out of this place?
I need to tell my brother to stop fighting that douchebag.” Brother…?
They look nothing alike…
I wonder which one is adopted?
Rael thought, and decided to give her one last bit of information.
“Don’t tell anyone I had this talk with you today.
Also, only contact me after Reinhardt leaves Celestara.
If you do it sooner, then you’re going to fuck both of us over.” “I might look like a brute, but I’m not an idiot,” Nyzzara replied as she adjusted her revealing clothing.
“I just really hope you’re being genuine.” Rael nodded and waved at her.
“Don’t forget, no snitching.” Then he simply canceled the skill.
Rael’s vision shifted, and he found himself standing face to face with Nyzzara again.
He still had his finger on her forehead.
Her eyes regained clarity as she looked around, staring at him in particular.
“You’re…?” “Shh…” Rael covered her mouth.
See you soon, Nyzzara.” With that, Rael swiftly dashed in the opposite direction of the fight between Reinhardt and Nyzzara’s brother.
And of course, he immediately summoned his car, put it into autopilot, and sped off.
His heart was thumping loudly in his chest.
Still, he felt relieved.
Primordial Sight hadn’t flagged anything she said as a lie, so that meant she was being genuine.
He’d tell Zafira another time, since for once, the offer didn’t actually need Celestara’s approval.
Rael could do everything with his Premium Shop.
In the midst of his thoughts, he heard a ding, followed by a message appearing right in front of him.
I’m going to respawn in around an hour.> Oh right…
And I hope you set Celestara as your respawn point, since if not, then you’re probably going to respawn in Aztera.> A moment of silence ensued, and it seemed like she had actually forgotten.
Despite that, after nearly an hour, he finally arrived back at the forest and traveled across it until eventually, he reached the mountainside elevator.
He pulled the lever and arrived at the bottom before speeding into the city.
Now that he was done with the sabotage, he planned on making a few preparations for Reinhardt’s arrival.
Just as Rael began to ponder his next move, a bunch of popups appeared in front of him, causing his eyes to widen.
“First Evelyn and now Linlin…” Rael trailed off, nearly crashing his car into a shopping stand.
What the fuck is with their luck!?
