Chapter 253 - "A Secret Affair?"
Ainsley couldn"t figure out the controversy between the two no matter what.
After all, the host and the system"s spirit should get along well, right? But these two looked like fire and water, unable to coexist.
One was an arrogant and fiery dude. The other was a calm and gentle young man. Fire and water. Dog and cat.
These two...dang.
Ainsley couldn"t bottle up her curiosity anymore. She approached those two with Cellino in her arms and carefully asked the raging G.o.dfather.
[...uh...uncle G.o.dfather? Zev..? What"s going on?]
Only then, the G.o.dfather seemed to snap out of his rage and looked down at the tiny Ainsley near his legs.
[Ah, Lil la.s.s.] The young spirit floated down from the air and landed on the ground.
He flipped his long hair and blatantly ignored Zev before looking at Ainsley with a profound gaze.
[Did you make a bond with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d?] The G.o.dfather didn"t answer Ainsley"s previous question as if wanting to brush it off.
Ainsley could only roll her eyes and nodded.
[Yes, uncle. I did. What"s wrong? Am I not supposed to do that?] Ainsley was silently baffled.
The G.o.dfather clearly sent her here to acquire Zev and the system. How come he didn"t look happy after she granted his wish?
Seeing the baby"s confused gaze, the G.o.dfather took a deep breath and sighed.
[No, you"re not wrong, Lil la.s.s. Since you are now the seventh host…] The G.o.dfather paused for a bit before gritting his teeth.
[This lord hopes you can surpa.s.s this lord.]
The G.o.dfather"s sudden wish took Ainsley off-guard. The baby stared at the G.o.dfather with wide eyes.
What? What the heck? Why so sudden? And what"s with your mellow look? Sh*t, now I feel bad!
Ainsley already took the G.o.dfather as her mentor and senior, so when the G.o.dfather told her to surpa.s.s him, that gave her pressure.
[...why? What"s wrong, uncle? Why so sudden...ah, ah, and why did you punch Zev?] Ainsley tried to ease the strange atmosphere. For now, she didn"t want to think of what the G.o.dfather casually blurted out.
She would surpa.s.s the G.o.dfather in the future, but that"s still a long journey.
Seeing Ainsley"s reluctance to speak about the matter, the G.o.dfather realised he had been too hasty.
The young spirit let out another sigh before he approached Zev, who was lying on the ground with a deadpan face.
[Do you know why this lord punched this b.a.s.t.a.r.d?]
[No…] Ainsley shook her head.
I don"t know, and that"s why I asked!
The G.o.dfather nodded at Ainsley"s answer. He then looked down at Zev"s red cheek and sneered.
[This b.a.s.t.a.r.d...ah, nevermind. This Lord just dislikes him. That"s it.]
However, would Ainsley believe that? She looked at the G.o.dfather and Zev with suspicion in her eyes.
Are these two secretly lovers or something? How come the atmosphere between them is quite weird…
However, before Ainsley could speak, Zev already stood up, wobbling. The young man clutched his red cheek and looked at the G.o.dfather"s spirit with teary eyes.
[Dave, how could you? After all that we have been through! I even cheer for you on your first night and this– ]
Zev didn"t manage to finish his words, and the G.o.dfather already smacked his mouth with a single kick.
[Shut up, b.a.s.t.a.r.d! If not for this Lil la.s.s, this lord never wants to see you! Meh!]
The G.o.dfather"s eyes instantly burned in rage once more. His legs were itching to kick this system.
How could he didn"t want to beat this b.a.s.t.a.r.d to death when this system gave all sorts of embarra.s.sing missions in the name of "tempering" one"s strength?
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d system ruined his date with his girlfriend, embarra.s.sed him in front of others, and even almost got him killed.
This suave-looking guy is the worst system ever!
When he was still the sixth host, he had wanted to beat down this shameless guy to death, but he couldn"t. The guy had a ghost-like body, and he couldn"t touch him.
But now that both of them were in the form of dead spirits, he could beat this b.a.s.t.a.r.d to death! Even if the dead spirit wouldn"t die, he had tons of methods to torture this b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
[You"re still as annoying as before, huh? Watch how this lord rips your mouth!] The G.o.dfather cracked his fists as he looked down at the young man lying on the ground.
Zev already pretended to be dead.
Dang. He didn"t expect this fiery guy to be a dead spirit after he died. Did he become a spirit because of that matter? Or because he wanted to beat his own system?
C"mon, don"t be so meanie!
Zev had the urge to cry. He suddenly regretted bullying the G.o.dfather when the guy was still alive just because he"s bored.
Who would have thought that karma existed?!
Zev looked at the G.o.dfather"s savage smile and shuddered.
[Dave, Dave, don"t be like this, ah! I only teased you sometimes, okay?! Remember, your handsome face is something that I give to you! Your current face is edited– ]
SMACK!
The G.o.dfather sent out another lovely kick to Zev"s crotch.
Ainsley was instantly speechless.
Is the G.o.dfather"s handsome face something given by the system? He"s not this handsome before? Dang! What a fraud!
G.o.dfather, you"re full of lies!
But what frustrated Ainsley, even more, was that these two had a love-hate relations.h.i.+p.
She vaguely sensed that they"re not enemies, and their relations.h.i.+p was actually quite strong.
However, they kept "bantering" with each other like this…
Are you sure they"re not a couple?
Ainsley suddenly thought that the G.o.dfather and Zev might be having a secret affair or something…
It can"t be, right?!
Ainsley felt the need to investigate this.
ASAP!
