Chapter 672 - Reputation!
"Oh, a very personal request?"
Lord Harley glanced at Flame King, and the latter flinched in nervousness. Thankfully for him, Lord Harley didn"t make further inquiries.
"Kiba, you are a guest," Lord Harley turned towards Kiba. "Allow us to welcome you before you entertain Craig"s very personal request."
Kiba nodded and gave his approval.
"Great."
Lord Harley took a step forward, and the distance of hundreds of kilometers distorted like it was being heated. In the same instant, he appeared in the room he was in a few minutes ago.
The room occupied some 50,000 square feet, and it could only be described as ostentatious.
Instead of walls, statues held the gold-leaf ceiling, while the floor was made of jewels that would put diamonds to shame.
Kiba and others also appeared in the room, underneath crystal chandeliers.
"Have a seat."
Lord Harley pointed to a chair while sitting across it. Kiba took the seat and made himself comfortable.
The others sat nearby, with Flame King nervously glancing at Lord Harley and Kiba. All his powers couldn"t stop his palms from sweating as he thought of what would follow after this "welcome." That was terrifying enough, but then there was also the fear of others discovering about it, especially Lord Harley.
Lord Harley didn"t seem to notice Flame King"s nervousness. He flicked his wrist, and two cups of tea appeared in the air.
An impossibly delicious aroma spread from the tea, something that jolted the senses of Alphas. Their senses - that were already powerful enough - seemed to awaken from a deep slumber, just like how a mortal feels after a night"s sleep. But that was just an aftereffect of the aroma.
The actual effect was on the consciousness, something that humans also termed as souls. It seemed to undergo metempsychosis, as if experiencing reincarnations and discovering knowledge that was impossible to contain.
"Transanimation Tea!" Xalion muttered in disbelief. "The family barely has a jar of it...and now!!"
For those known as Alphas, there were very few things they wanted to have but couldn"t. And one of them was this tea! Because it grew in an extremely dangerous World Fragment - the meteorite the humans called The Sea of Reincarnation!
"Please, have it," Lord Harley requested as one of the cups flew to Kiba.
Kiba nodded and accepted the cup. The tea was dazzlingly bright as if made from Milky Way, and the sensation it emitted drifted into his nose. Even without drinking it, he felt refreshed like never before.
"I hope the tea helps you stay focused," Lord Harley stated as he urged Kiba to drink.
"Focused?" Kiba"s eyebrows raised up.
"Obviously in fulfilling Craig"s very personal request," Lord Harley explained with a faint smile. "Whatever it is, it sure must require a lot of dedication and efforts."
Flame King flinched.
Lord Harley was offering this precious tea to Kiba because of him?!
If anyone else saw such kindness from the family leader, they would have broken down in grat.i.tude.
But Flame King wasn"t like others.
He wanted to cry!
And it wasn"t from grat.i.tude but despair!!
Firstly, he didn"t really want Kiba to fulfill his request!
Even if he did, it wasn"t a task where Kiba was required to consume divine tea to stay focused!
After all, from when did f.u.c.k.i.n.g required focus or dedication?!
All he has to do was penetrate his wife"s c.u.n.t!
Besides, if he was distracted, it would be for good! He wouldn"t get to f.u.c.k her!
"You are right."
Flame King"s thoughts were broken by Kiba"s reply.
"My task does require extreme focus," Kiba agreed with a smile. "A slight moment of distraction and the goalpost might s.h.i.+ft to something uncomfortable."
"!!!!!!!"
The realization hit Flame King, and his face turned white.
If Kiba wasn"t focused, instead of penetrating his wife"s p.u.s.s.y, he would f.u.c.k her tight, v.i.r.g.i.n a.s.shole!
Flame King could visualize just how much "discomfort" she would feel at such a mistake!
It shrank his t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es.
He didn"t want Kiba to be distracted!
"Seems like Craig also agrees," Lord Harley noted.
Flame King: "............."
Kiba closed his eyes and took a small sip of tea. It seemed to evaporate on touch, resulting in a flood of delightful sensation.
On the side, Flame King was internally weeping.
"Oh, Velma, my loving wife!"
Flame King whispered to himself.
"My family is sacrificing so much wealth to save you from discomfort! You better be grateful!"
.....
Minutes pa.s.sed as Kiba and Lord Harley savored tea.
Xalion and Flame King could only look at them, the former in anger while the latter in despair.
"Hmm?" Xalion turned his gaze to the entrance.
A few seconds later, the door slid open, and three people stepped in.
The one at the front was a man who seemed to be in his early forties. He appeared to be good-looking with a healthy physique.
"Kurtis."
Xalion muttered in a barely audible tone, but it was loud and clear for Kiba.
He continued to drink tea without looking at the newcomers, but there was a surge of excitement in his closed eyes.
Lord Harley placed his cup on the table and looked at Kurtis and two other persons.
Kurtis sat on a free chair while the other two stood some distance away. Based on how those two stood, it seemed they were a young couple madly in love.
"Lord Harley, Xalion, and Craig."
The couple offered their respects.
"Steve."
Lord Harley nodded in approval before bringing his eyes on the young woman whose hand he was holding. She was dressed in a beautiful strapless gown, its creamy texture blending with her creamy complexion.
Her arms showed off a row of wonderful runes inked on her.
"Constance Eleanor."
Lord Harley accepted her greetings and nodded at her. Just like her name denoted, she was from the House of Eleanor.
"Let me introduce you to our guest," Lord Harley s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to Kiba. "Though I"m sure you already know him."
Steve and Constance nodded.
In a day, Kiba has become a legend on Earth! As for those who knew of his exploits in Infinity Maze, he was the most extraordinary man in existence.
"We have heard a lot of you, doctor," Constance started with a sweet smile. "It is our honor to finally meet you."
Kiba lowered the cup and turned in her direction. His eyes snapped open, and he "looked" at her.
An unexplainable rush of excitement surged in Constance as she saw his eyes.
Every vein in her body tingled as if a current was racing through them.
"Ah!"
She felt her body on fire as heat and warmth she never felt erupted between her thighs. This followed with the urge to plant her hand between there and frantically rub.
Terrified by her body"s urge, she forcefully clamped her thighs.
"Constance?!"
Steve held her as she started trembling.
He moved a hand on her forehead and said, "You are hot! Are you alright?"
"Y-yes," Constance answered, her face flushed with warm blood. "It is just that my training"s side-effects are suddenly showing up."
Steve naturally understood her troubles.
There could be a backlash when one tries to learn or create a new technique related to their abilities. This backlash could come abruptly, like a panic attack.
"I apologize, but I need to leave."
Constance said as her body blurred from extreme speed, and she disappeared. Steve rushed behind her, wanting to help his lady love.
Kurtis" eyebrows knitted.
His son and his girlfriend have disappointed him.
Still, there was nothing he could do. Such backlash can happen to anyone.
"She would be fine," Xalion said with a rea.s.suring look. "There is nothing to worry about."
In the room, perhaps except for one person, none knew that it wasn"t backlash that hit her... it was something else.
.....
Like a blurred beam of light, Constance appeared in the washroom.
"Give me few minutes!"
Constance said and closed the door on Steve"s face.
With every second, her breathing was turning slow while the excitement was surging up.
She hasn"t experienced anything like it, and this terrified her.
"I"m alone here!"
Constance reminded herself of the privacy features.
Fear left her, and she sensuously started rubbing herself.
Her hands drifted here and there, trying to extinguish the invisible fire his eyes has lit on her.
"Ooooooo G.o.d! Just what was in those eyes for this to happen?!"
She cried and sank fingers deep into her sopping entrance. She started thrusting them back and forth, but the fire inside her only turned stronger. She realized her body needed something else...
******
"Let"s forget the young couple," In the room, Lord Harley told Kiba while pointing to Kurtis. "And let me introduce you to---"
"I know him," Kiba interjected with a smile.
"Oh?" Both Lord Harley and Kurtis were startled.
"In the maze, Flame King was singing praises of a special friend of his," Kiba explained while turning to Kurtis. "And based on that, I"m pretty sure you are that friend."
Flame King was startled.
He has never spoken about Kurtis!
In fact, he has never spoken about any family member to Kiba!
So why was Kiba attributing this to him?!
Kurtis, on the other hand, was pleasantly surprised.
While he was also an Alpha, being highly regarded by a fellow Alpha was a great feeling. It puffed his chest with pride.
This sense of pride felt even better since it was caused by Kiba - an Alpha that has stunned the world.
And the credit for all this went to Flame King!
Kurtis glanced at Flame King and thought he was a true friend.
He has been one of the few who has been sympathetic to him. Now he was even praising him behind his back!
There could be no better proof of his friends.h.i.+p!
Kurtis was internally thrilled.
He forgot all the humiliation he has suffered due to his b.i.t.c.h wife and her b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
"Craig has always been kind to me," Kurtis tried his best to be humble. "So I don"t think I"m worthy of the introduction he gave to you."
"Naa, I"m sure you do," Kiba claimed politely. "Your reputation as The Cuckold precedes you."
"Ppff!" Lord Harley has taken the last sip of tea, but it sprayed out of his mouth.
Kurtis" eyes bulged, and he froze.
Xalion took a bite of a cookie, but he forgot about the bite, and it crumbled.
Flame King was taken aback. He has a feeling something terrible was going to happen, and he would be held responsible!
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Kurtis jumped out of his shocked state and stared at Kiba.
"Your reputation as The Cuckold precedes you?" Kiba replied with a confused expression.
"Son of a b.i.t.c.h! How dare you!!"
Veins popped up on Kurtis" face, and his aura began to rise. Bright blue flames wrapped around his body, and they stretched out like tentacles.
"I don"t understand," Kiba was further bewildered by Kurtis" reaction. "Are you not The Cuckold Flame King told me about?"
