Chapter 199: Answer
"If there"s one thing I know, it"s that there is no free lunch in this life. To receive so many benefits, what would I have to do for the Khan family?" Noah asked while hiding his thoughts.
Hearing Noah"s precise question, Marcel let out a short breath before answering. "Of course, the Khan family will not give it to you with kisses. To be able to receive these perks you will also have an obligation. But don"t worry, it is not abusive, and since I know your character, you will have the right to refuse when the time comes if you feel you cannot help. Our Khan family is in danger in the capital. My grandfather has a disease and unfortunately the chances of him dying in a short time are very high, and as our patriarch will die, we are already preparing for an attack by the other families at that time. As a member of the Khan family, each of us will have to go and protect the family when that happens, that is, if you agree to be part of the family, you will also have to go help when that time comes. We will give you strength with the essences while you will use that strength to help us in times of need. I believe it is a fair deal."
Hearing about the deal, Noah gave an internal laugh, thinking about the irony of Marcel wanting to make a deal with the Devil, but ignoring that, Noah thought of the proposal and really thought of it as fair. Joining the Khan family would likely further advance his progress. While it took him a month to reach Rank D, Noah was afraid that in order to move from Rank D to Rank C he would take a few months, and to reach Rank B he would take even longer, not to mention the essences he didn"t even know very well how it all worked, it could delay this process for years.
Helping the family that was helping him to advance the process so much would definitely be a fair thing to do. Even though he had the chance to refuse, Marcel was right to know that Noah would help when the moment arose, even if it was very dangerous. "You are right; this is a fair deal. I still have a few things to deal with in Eyrin city in the next few days before I go to the capital, but as soon as I am ready to go I will contact you," Noah said as he held out his hand for Marcel to shake, confirming the deal they had made.
Marcel was very happy with this result. Even if some family members were against him bringing in someone from outside the inner circle of the family to share some of the essences they had, he knew it was worth it. He saw Noah"s improvement first hand in the few weeks since they had met. He knew how fast Noah was improving, as if he didn"t even have any bottleneck to reach the next rank and it was only a matter of time before he reached Rank C while they"d still be climbing to Rank D. He didn"t even know if Rank C would be the end result for Noah. Maybe even Rank B couldn"t do it, taking Noah directly to Rank A...
With a handshake a non-verbal agreement was reached. Noah was pleased to think that in the future he could continue to grow so quickly despite discovering that he would have something new to deal with, while Marcel was pleased to have a future top Blessed among his family.
After that deal, Marcel left Noah"s room while Noah thought about the things he had to do in Eyrin City before moving. In addition to Maggy"s treatment, which was already entering the final stages, Noah still had something very important to deal with before moving out of the city.
Previously he even thought about following the rules and paying the money back to the man who almost ended his and his sister"s life, and practically killed his mother, but a few weeks ago Noah realized how stupid he was being.
His uncle practically killed his mother. Now Noah had enough power to make his uncle tremble with fear, and that was exactly what he wanted to do.
All the pain, suffering, and despair that the man had made him feel, Noah wanted to make him feel ten times more.
Unbeknownst to Noah, his eyes were shining a dangerous red as flames danced around him, outlining a beautiful pair of black wings that had come out of his back and gracefully swung the large set of feathers back and forth slowly.
Initially Noah was a young man who, despite being a little cynical and not worrying about the death of others, would not necessarily go after other people to kill them. But over time, having tortured and killed so many people and monsters, Noah had stopped caring about it. Now that he had enough strength to deal with his uncle, Noah feels like it is his duty to kill that man and make him pay for the sins he had committed.
Knowing how badly that man had treated other people, Noah started to smile as he imagined how much [h.e.l.l Flames] would make his uncle suffer. The pain that the person felt when being burned by [h.e.l.l Flames] was proportional to how resistant the person was, how powerful the flames were, and how much sins that person had committed.
Noah"s uncle was a Blessed Rank E; his strength was practically garbage in front of Noah. The strength of the flames was extremely high, while his uncle"s sins... Noah didn"t even know if he would want to find out everything that piece of human s.h.i.t had done, but he knew it would hurt his uncle a lot.
Putting his thoughts about his uncle aside, Noah began to think about how well his business with the imps was going. The amount of exp he received from the imps was greater than he expected. In those few days he had received hundreds of exp points without having to do anything.
Apparently these people had liked his imps quite a bit, since the skill level had also gone up by a fair margin. This meant that in the next few days the skill would also level up, and soon he would find out what he would get when that skill leveled up: if the imps would get more powerful, or if he could summon more imps... maybe even both of the two...
