Chapter 395 - "A Secret Agreement"
[b.a.s.t.a.r.d, listen. This Lord has a request.]
Zev instantly rolled his eyes.
[You have a request, yet you called me a b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Are you crazy or what– ]
[Blablabla. Enough. Listen. This is about Lil La.s.s" special ability growth.] The G.o.dfather put on a stern face as he floated in the air with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
He did look like he"s not joking.
Zev looked up at the young man"s stern face and couldn"t help but gulp. Sweat started to drip down his face.
[What is it?]
[First of all, tell this lord how many abilities Lil la.s.s can get with your help?]
[Uh, unlimited. As long as she accomplished the missions given…]
[So it"s the same as this lord, right?]
[Right. What"s the matter?] Zev noticed that the G.o.dfather was acting strange. He couldn"t help but approach him and stopped right in front of his eyes.
[What"s wrong with you, Dave? Why are you talking about this? Is there anything wrong– ]
[Can you limit her special ability quota up to five?] The G.o.dfather cut Zev"s speech in the middle as he looked down at the little toddler spirit.
At that moment, when the G.o.dfather said that, Zev almost fell from the sky.
Limiting Ainsley"s ability quota to five??
[What– why?! Are you crazy? How can she become the best mafia toddler in this world if she only has 5 abilities? No! That"s not possible– ]
[This lord doesn"t want her to walk the same path as this lord.] The G.o.dfather interjected once more. This time, he brought his face closer to Zev.
[Does the number of your special abilities determine whether you will be the strongest or not? Ha. If so, why was this lord still in THAT situation, hm?]
The G.o.dfather didn"t mention which event happened in the past, but Zev"s face darkened. He instantly knew which one.
[...that"s because you were a lone fighter...Ain is a family head. She can get more support from those around her, and– ]
[Exactly. That"s the right path for her. But if you don"t limit her ability quota, won"t she end up just like this lord, relying solely on herself and not her organisation?]
The G.o.dfather clicked his tongue as he stared into Zev"s black pupils.
[You see how that lil la.s.s acts in the war. If she"s given more power to herself, she will end up doing everything alone, never using her organisation and those behind her!]
And in the end, she will end up as a lone fighter, just like how this lord was in the past.
The G.o.dfather didn"t say the last sentence, but Zev could already hear it in his mind.
[You also knew that no matter how strong this lord was back then, this lord couldn"t beat so many forces alone, right?]
The G.o.dfather gritted his teeth as he pressed further.
[If only back then this Lord wasn"t a lone fighter, that thing wouldn"t have happened, and this lord would have been reincarnated peacefully– ]
When the G.o.dfather already touched upon that forbidden subject, Zev finally snapped.
[Stop! Stop it. Okay, I know, I get it!] Zev shouted at the G.o.dfather with his eyes closed tightly. He took a deep breath, distanced himself from the G.o.dfather and lowered his head.
[...I get it.]
Seeing Zev"s usually cheerful face was gone, only then did the G.o.dfather realise that he went too far. The young spirit reached out his hand to the little spirit yet paused mid-air.
[...it"s not your fault it happened. It was mine. Don"t think too much about it.] The G.o.dfather retracted his hand again and let out a long sigh.
He then turned around and walked back and forth in the air.
[Now you know why this lord doesn"t want lil la.s.s to have too many abilities in hand, right?]
[Mmm. You"re afraid that she won"t develop her family and will focus on strengthening herself as a solo fighter.]
[Exactly. That"s why this lord said 5 abilities are enough. She already had three. She will still be a strong fighter with those five abilities.]
Too many abilities in hand will only distract her from developing her force when her advantage lies on her force and not on her individual strength.
Besides, having the skill: G.o.ddess of Fortune and Misfortune alone is already overpowered enough to protect herself from any dangers.
Having more would only push the baby to the path of a reckless solo fighter…
Since she showed that tendency in the war against the Aretha Family 3 days ago.
Zev savoured the G.o.dfather"s words, and after thinking it through, he finally sighed.
[Okay, I understand. I"ll limit her abilities only to 5. That way, she can focus more on exploring creative ways to use her abilities and develop her forces.]
[Mmm. That"s what this lord hopes too.]
The G.o.dfather let go of the frown on his face, and his aura became a lot gentler than before. He looked back at Zev"s tiny body and nodded.
[Let"s go back, then. The Lil la.s.s is waiting.]
[Hum. Let"s go.] Zev trotted behind the G.o.dfather and went back to the bedroom.
Once he arrived, he immediately summoned the awakening potion and stood in front of Ainsley.
[See this? This is the awakening potion. Once you drink this, you can gain one more ability at random.]
Zev started to explain the use of the potion, but before he gave the bottle to Ainsley, he swayed the bottle in front of the baby"s eyes and squinted.
[But first, I have to tell you something urgent.]
[What is it…?] Ainsley paused. Somehow, she had a bad feeling…
[Due to your injured energy core...you can only obtain a maximum of five special abilities in your whole life!]
Ainsley almost fainted.
"What?? Why?!"
