Chapter 130 130 - Who Will Have Aiden?
"So, before saying your counteroffer, you want me to tell you how my family is cooperating with the other founding families, is that right?" asked Melinda, not sure why Aiden would need to have something like that.
'It's not like the others will care about him, they will probably all ignore his existence,' she thought, finding the boy in front of her to be quite paranoid.
"Yeah, that's exactly what I asked," answered Aiden, as he made sure to listen to every word that was about to come out of her mouth as maybe he would be able to get some pretty interesting information.
"Alright, then," she muttered, as she didn't mind such a condition at all as he would have discovered about it when joining. "As you know there are three other founding families, the Nightshades, the Ravenwoods, and the Valandils. We, the founding families, are the strongest groups of people to exist in this world that we call Nova."
"Are we stronger than some of them? Maybe? I'm not sure as we don't fight directly against one another. However, I can tell you that I'm probably the strongest head as my illusions are quite deadly if you get stuck into one," she said, not missing the chance of flexing her power to Aiden.
Aiden nodded, as he wasn't that interested in which family was currently the strongest. He wanted to know what family they were the closest to.
"Enough of my bragging, the Emberbane family has pretty good relations with the Valandils and the Ravenwoods. We don't mind them and they don't mind us, well... most of the time. Now, about the Nightshades it's a little more complicated..."
Aiden hearing this was quite happy as he understood that Melinda and the rest of her family probably weren't that close to the Nightshades from the tone of her voice.
"It's a little complicated because of their current actions, however, it's nothing that you should know about, so I won't tell you more about it. Basically, the family that everyone hates the most is the Nightshades because of things which the public ignores," said Melinda, not wanting to reveal their problems with the Nightshades.
'What did they even do?' thought Aiden, interested in learning about it.
"So, I think that's pretty much it, are you happy now? Are you going to join my family?" asked Melinda, still not understanding why she was listening to Aiden and doing everything that he wanted.
It really wasn't a situation that she had expected.
She had expected him to simply accept her proposal without asking any questions.
But, no, here she was listening to all his demands without questioning anything as she absolutely wanted to get him inside her family.
"I already told you that you'll need to promise me something if I'm to join your family," said Aiden, with a serious look on his face.
It was finally time for him to get some answer that he had ignored ever since coming here.
"Basically, all you would have to do is answer some of the questions that I have," said Aiden, not saying what type of questions they were as he knew that she would probably just accept without even thinking.
And that's exactly what happened.
"Sure, what are your questions?" said Melinda, curious as to what he was going ask.
She was expecting some normal questions which pretty much everyone knew about as she had noticed that he didn't seem to know much about the world that surrounded them.
"The first one is where does the system come from?" asked Aiden, as he became extremely serious, not knowing if she was going to accept to answer this question as it seemed to be quite a hidden secret.
***
Meanwhile, Emma, Olivia, and Logan were discussing what had just happened.
Aiden had been teleported by force to meet one of the strongest beings that existed.
Of course, they were all jealous, they had hoped that it would have been them that would have been teleported as it was simply too good of an opportunity to refuse.
"What do you think they're asking of him?" said Olivia.
Emma who heard this, also didn't know what they could possibly want with him, but then she remembered something.
Aiden had refused categorically to participate in the tournament without a mask, so maybe it was related to that.
Well, it was either that or they had been impressed by what he had achieved, especially the modified technique which he had made.
Imagine if Melinda knew that he had made it in one month, she would be so shocked that she would give everything to recruit Aiden as creating techniques is almost impossible as it required an insane amount of talent to do so.
But at last, she ignored it, just like she ignored many things about Aiden in general.
"Honestly, it's probably about the fight which we just did," answered Emma, not wanting to reveal her theory about his mask.
"Are you worried about him?" asked Olivia, right after, as she had noticed the looks that Emma had given to him.
She really seemed to be in love with how she acted around him, there was also the fact that she was always trying to touch him at every possible opportunity.
"Worried? Why would I be worried about him? Ahaha, you're funny," said Emma, completely denying those remarks by accentuating her laugh as much as she could.
"Are you sure? You seem nervous," said Logan, as he looked at her hands which were fidgeting around.
"Whatever, what if I am, who cares," said Emma, angrily, not wanting to admit that she was worried about what was happening to him.
"What about you Olivia, don't you think for a single moment that I didn't notice you sneaking up on him," said Emma, redirecting the attention onto someone else as she didn't like what was currently happening.
"Yeah, I am, he's hot, I'm hot, why not?" she said, admitting that she found Aiden quite handsome and that she wouldn't mind doing something with him.
"What? Is he yours?" said Olivia, trying to make fun of Emma.
However, Emma was stumped in her response as she didn't want to admit that she actually felt something for Aiden.
"N-no, he's not," she said, slowly.
"Are you having trouble saying it?" added Olivia, as she noticed that Emma was speaking really quietly as if not wanting everyone around to hear her.
"No, he's not mine, alright," she repeated, this time, confident in her response.
"Then, I guess you wouldn't mind if I get closer to him, right?" said Olivia, still with a big smile on her face.
"Just try, he won't even pay you any attention, didn't you see earlier, even when you were using your body, he didn't even have a reaction. It was as if you didn't even exist," said Emma, happy that she had found something to make fun of Olivia.
"Who knows? I know that when he's going to touch those," she said as she grabbed her tits in her hands. "That he won't be able to resist my charm."
'Or maybe it will be the complete opposite and you won't be able to resist his charm,' thought Emma, as her mind was full of memories where she had imagined Aiden naked.
She also remembered the night when she had woken up in the middle of the night when they had switched beds.
It was that night that all her clothes were really wet.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that, he'll probably forget about you, not like you're anything worth remembering," said Emma, out of spite, mad that she was hearing such words come out of Olivia's mouth.
Olivia seemed to be the type of girl who was confident and would be the one acting first. However, Emma was the complete opposite as she was really shy not starting anything.
She was the type to wait until something happened, not that there was anything wrong with that.
"Why would he not remember me, not like you're the type to try anything with him," said Olivia, knowing that she was right seeing the reaction that Emma was currently having.
She was all red as if she was a tomato.
"Who knows? I might just try."
Logan who was hearing that conversation was just confused as to what was happening as her sister was currently fighting for a man it seemed.
"B-both of you, should calm down," said Logan, in a low tone of voice, scared of what their reactions were going to be.
"My brother's right, who cares who'll he end up with?" said Olivia as she muttered something so quietly that no one around was able to hear her. "I will have him."
"Yeah, who cares, right?" said Emma, as she also muttered something in a really quiet voice. "I'll be the one to have him."
Then, as the two of them had seemingly stopped talking about that, silence took over as they both waited for Aiden to appear once again.
