With the emergence of the Praeclarum Adamantino, the second largest diamond ever found on Earth, everyone was thrown into a series of shocked expressions. And the price it was auctioned for was truly a humongous amount. It even exceeded the Hope Diamond which was only sold for about two hundred and fifty million dollars.
News about the Tyrannical Tower acquiring the second largest diamond on earth spread like wildfire. The local media visited the tower and was requesting audience of the top management, but their request was never fulfilled. They can only wait outside the tower to interview someone and even the tower"s disciples were not spared. Although it was pleasing to be on tv, but the barrage of questions was truly overwhelming, making the disciples quite afraid of the media personnels outside the tower.
Cale heard the news about the persistent media and he could not help but furrow his eyebrows. "Tsk! Troublesome, but this is good as well. We can advertise the tower and with this, many talented and strong martial artists will come in droves."
Cale took out his phone and dialed Ulric"s number.
"Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!"
"h.e.l.lo my lord. Is there something I can help you with?" Ulric"s voice was now back to normal as he had a long break after finis.h.i.+ng the tower.
"Ulric, go outside and answer the media"s questions. And if you can advertise the tower as well, then do it." Cale spoke with a smile on his face. If more martial artists come inside the tower to train, then it would really be a big help for his future plans.
"As you wish my lord. Is there anything else that you want to be done?" Ulric asked.
"No, that"s it. Bye!" Cale then kept his phone inside his pocket.
In front of him were two beauties holding each other"s arms while talking excitedly about random stuffs. They were like long lost sisters who were reunited after several years of separation. If Cale did not see them glaring hatefully at each other just a few moments ago, he would have believed that they were indeed real sisters.
"A half elf and a succubus, truly a good pair of sisters." Cale thought with exasperation. He can already imagine the trouble that these two will cause for him in the futute, but since he already told them that they can be his sisters, then he won"t disappoint the two women and just treat them well.
He smiled lightly after seeing them look his way which made both women"s expression to brighten up. They then averted their gazes and resumed their random talks which made Cale scratch the back of his head. "Well, this is good too."
"My lord, can I go to France with Nocturna? Promise we will be back immediately." Zarinvienne spoke sweetly at Cale and her eyes contained a hint of pleading.
Cale glanced at her and he knew what she wants to do there in France. "Are you planning to kill that Lhun Marchand kid? You two might be strong, but it"s very dangerous. If you want, I can get Zero to kidnap that kid and bring him here for you."
Zarinvienne thought for a moment and nodded her reluctantly. "Master when I was still sealed in the Red Lion, that guy wanted me to devour your strength and give it to him." She said with a bit of embarra.s.sment while avoiding Cale"s eyes.
Cale was a bit surprise and he underestimated Lhun Marchand"s cunningness. The guy must have calculated that he would be the one to get the sword in the end. The auction was merely a facade. His real goal was to suck the strength of someone from the Tyrannical Tower. "He might have heard some news about Tyrannical Tower"s mysterious strength. After learning that, he coveted our power and wants to take it as his own. Now I know why that kid is already at the King-Cla.s.s level despite being in his twenties. He must have sucked a lot of individuals to get his current strength." Cale thought to himself and he could not help but grow numbed. If not for The Black Market"s power, he would have been sucked dry by Zarinvienne as well.
Zarinvienne nervously glanced at Cale and she could not help but lower down her head meekly after seeing his frowning expression. "My lord, I only wanted to unseal the sword and escape. I... I.."
Cale walked towards her and patted her head with a smile. "I understand, let"s not talk about that anymore. Just don"t go around sucking people"s strength without my permission okay?"
Zarinvienne glanced at him with teary eyes and nodded her head slowly.
"Mmn."
"Good! I will call Zero and tell him to catch the kid for you. But do you really have to bite him in order to suck his strength?" Cale asked while raising one eyebrow.
Zarinvienne"s cheeks blushed slightly and fidgeted. "I only have to touch them and I don"t need to bite them in order to suck their strengths." Her voice was almost like a whisper and if not for Cale"s enhanced hearing, he would have had a hard time hearing what she said.
He then glanced suspiciously at her and asked in a teasing voice. "Then why did you bite me earlier if you only have to touch someone in order to suck theit strengths? Did you enjoy sucking a bit of my blood earlier you vampiric succubus? Huh?" His warm breath was like a bird"s feather rubbing her ears, tickling her greatly and she could not help but m.o.a.n in delight
"Ahhh!"
"I... I can"t help but take a bite of you my lord. I was... was..." Before she can even speak a slightly cold and dainty hand covered her mouth. She turned around and saw Nocturna glaring at her while pouting her lips.
"Tell me what happened inside. I... I want to know how... how it tast- how.... what happened." Nocturna"s face was flushed red as she covered Zarinvienne"s mouth.
Cale then slowly escape from their vision and scurried away, invoking a slight chuckle from both Atlas and Vishnu who saw him ran away.
