CHAPTER 1562 I EXPECTED BETTER FROM YOU, NUX LEANDER.
"We still cannot validate if everything you said is correct or not. We do not know if you are an enemy or a friend. We do not know if you plan to do something once everything goes according to your plan. After all, you did try to attack Nux before when he devoured the System. If it wasn't for Lord Azriel, then who knows, we might already be dead today. One wouldn't just kill someone who is a vital part of his plan, now would he?" Amaya questioned and with her few words, the sceptical looks he was receiving became stronger and stronger. "I lost control over my anger." Zylarith replied calmly. "I find it hard to believe that an old monster like you lost his control so easily." Amaya commented. "My soul form is not exactly stable, it is hard for me to control my emotions."
"Is that so…?" Amaya muttered, not adding anything more. After all, what she wanted to do was already achieved. The seed of doubt was planted into everyone's hide. The seed that would give her and Nux enough time to grow while the Vampire Progenitor tried to figure out whether he should trust Zylarith or not. Aeliana, who noticed what she did was impressed. The girl was far more dangerous than what she initially expected. Not only had she comprehended a lethal Law, she also had a sharp mind that tried to make every single situation into an advantageous one. Zylarith realized it as well. The situation was getting more and more disadvantageous, in a hurry, he turned towards Azriel and, "You ne-" "Leave." Azriel ordered and this time, Aeliana had no plans of interrupting her father again. "…" Zylarith turned silent. Azriel continued to stare at him with his blood-red eyes, Zylarith's body trembled. "You have caused enough trouble for me already, don't force me to take action." "I am on your side. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
I can help you." "Who told you that I need your help? Are you hallucinating?" Azriel spoke, his annoyance was clear from his tone. "Don't think I do not understand that you are trying to use me to pressure this brat. I have long passed the stage of playing these games, you should do the same as well, you are billions of years old for the Universe's sake, stop being childish. He won't give in, as much annoying as he may be, his love for his wives is genuine." Azriel then stared at Nux and,
"I know this more than anyone present here." Nux narrowed his eyes when he heard those words. He only needed a moment to realize why Azriel said those words. He saw the Illusion. Nux wasn't an Incubus just for show, he understood how the Illusion worked, especially after spending more than three hundred thousand years inside it. The Illusion was created by Yrniel using his memories and Yrniel's information and…
Azriel Ruinous was connected to Yrniel. This being can watch the Illusion any time he wants, heck, he might even have the option to speed up, slow down, or even replay the entire thing again and again. Azriel Ruinous should know pretty much everything Nux did inside the Illusion. 'So this is why he was so defensive from the start.
He knows…' Nux muttered inwardly as a small smile appeared on his face.
If Azriel saw the Illusion and knew what happened inside, he must have known about the relationship between Aeliana and Nux as well…
Nux now understood why Azriel had that annoyed look on his face every time he met him, it wasn't that he was annoyed because his time with his daughter was interrupted. It was because he just didn't want Nux to interact with his daughter. 'Oh father in law…
How can you be so naïve…?' Nux chuckled inwardly. Since Azriel had already seen his true personality, he should have known Aeliana had no chance of escaping. Of course, if he still wants to try and come between the two of them…
Then it will turn into a fun game where Azriel would have no shot at winning. As if he could sense what Nux was thinking, Azriel turned towards Nux and narrowed his eyes. Nux just smiled and then, "I do not know how you are so confident in me, but I am glad.
It will make things easier for me in the future." Nux spoke as he glanced at Aeliana. Azriel tilted his head as he stepped in front of his daughter, "Don't push your luck." Azriel warned. "I have been relying on my luck all this while, I am sure it will lead me to somewhere amusing." "Blindly trusting everything can lead to something dangerous." "I have the ability to tackle all sorts of danger." "You are too arrogant." "You are the last person I want to hear that from." Nux didn't back down either. Everyone else in the room stared at the two of them with confused looks on their faces, none of them understood what they were talking about. Zylarith was having a hard time figuring out whether the two had a good or bad relationship with each other. Nothing was clear from the two's reaction. They looked like each other's friends and sole enemies at the same time. "I have what it takes to be arrogant." Azriel declared confidently. "Heh, those are some grand words, especially considering you weren't even able to understand what your daughter wanted." Nux laughed and as Azriel narrowed his eyes and his expression turned dangerous, instead of turning away, Nux stepped forward, then, looking right into the Vampire Progenitor's eyes, he opened his mouth, "I said this before, I will say this again, Strongest my ass. You let your only daughter suffer, You let your only daughter cry, You let your only daughter take the burden when you were well and alive. You are not the strongest, Azriel Ruinous. The strong I aspire to be isn't helpless in a situation where his loved ones are in a difficult position.
I would prefer dying than seeing any of my loved ones suffer." He commented with a neutral look on his face as if it was the most natural fact. "Heh." Hearing Nux's words, Azriel just laughed. "What a coward." He commented. "I expected better from you, Nux Leander."
