Chapter 94:The Full Power of a Bully

"Yes, a monocle, your family actually knows him very well, you could say he's an old family friend" the redhead said humorously, but this didn't seem funny to Flora, who felt that everything she sacrificed had been for no reason.

Her desire to return glory to her family had been in vain?

Her family that was one of the most powerful in ancient times had been deceived to only be used as a trap?

She didn't want to believe this!

It was completely ridiculous!

But when the redhead mentioned someone with a monocle over his right eye, she believed everything.

If there was someone who could do that it was 'Him'

The reason why her family had fallen into such a weak state.

The reason the family had to live apart to avoid being consumed and replaced by 'Him'!

The reason why her family had to join another family and form an organization with the sole purpose of facing 'Him'.

"You know, your purpose may have been in vain but at least you're still alive" the redhead said calmly and Flora just growled hatefully.

"And that doesn't matter! My family believed that with the treasure we would be able to recover our strength and defend ourselves against 'Him'! We wouldn't have to live hidden anymore!" she shouted in the redhead's ear who only sighed in exasperation.

"Now you can warn them of the truth, also so far it seems that they have survived quite well considering that a demigod appeared" he said calmly and Flora huffed furiously.

"If you really know who the man with the monocle is, you know that a demigod is just an ant to 'Him'! Not even an angel is able to touch 'Him'!"

"And you really thought a treasure would change that?" Adryan cut in quickly and Flora gritted her teeth.

Adryan sighed as he shook his head.

"No treasure will be able to protect them from 'Him', the only thing they can do is what they have been doing for the last centuries and that is hide" Adryan said calmly and Flora just sighed tiredly.

"In my state I can't warn them so you'll have to do it for me"

"An why would I do that?" the redhead said with a raised eyebrow and Flora sighed in annoyance.

"What do you want in exchange?"

"You're already speaking my language" Adryan said with a smile.

"At the moment we can't separate so we'll be together for a while so first let me introduce myself"

"I am Adryan Kenway is my pleasure to meet you ma'am" he said gracefully as he bowed and Flora just snorted sharply.

"Now that we know each other, I would like to know if you are still capable of using your powers"

"For what purpose?" Flora asked suspiciously and the redhead sighed.

"To know if you'll be useful or not, I'm not going to agree to do something for someone who will only be hiding inside me without doing anything in return" at this Flora snorted again and responded arrogantly.

"And what if I refuse?"

"Then I'll go to the church to get you off me~" Adryan said with a sweet tone and Flora froze but she quickly recovered and responded arrogantly.

"You are a wild beyonder, you would not dare to do something like that, you would also be arrested"

At Flora's words, Adryan chuckled as he nodded.

"You're right that would be stupid of me" he agreed with Flora who had a cocky smile but Adryan continued speaking.

"So why don't I give you the man with the monocle? I'm sure 'He' would appreciate it" the man's words chilled Flora.

"You wouldn't dare!" she said in disbelief at what the man had said.

"Are you sure about that? I just have to say 'His' honorific name and 'He' will come"

"You want to bet how long it will take 'Him' to get here? I say 20 seconds, 5 if what I offer seems interesting to 'Him' and I think that a member of the Jacob family who is a weakened demigod is something very interesting" he said darkly and Flora paled .

"He will consume you too! Are you seriously willing to take such a big risk!! You can't be that crazy!!!" Flora screamed in complete disbelief, she couldn't believe what was happening.

"Try me~" Adryan said full of provocation as he brought his hands together and interlocked his fingers.

He leaned his head against his hand and closed his eyes, Flora looked at this terrified but after a few moments she calmed down as she let out an awkward laugh.

"It is impossible for you to know his honorific name, no one who has known it lived to tell about it, you are bluffing!!" Flora said arrogantly but in her voice there was still a trace of fear.

Adryan said nothing, just let out a dark laugh that filled Flora with terror.

'Impossible!' she thought, stupefied, but before she could say anything, Adryan spoke.

"The Clock-hand that tampers with Time..." he said in Ancient Hermes and Flora felt that her life was over.

"The Shadow that roams acr-..."

"STOP STOP I WILL TALK I WILL TALK BUT PLEASE STOP!!!!" Flora screamed with all her might and Adryan giggled as he opened his red eyes that were full of mischief.

"Was it so difficult to cooperate?" he asked and Flora from inside Adryan looked at him fearfully.

"You are completely crazy..."

The man just let out a soft laugh as he parted his hands.

"And that's why it's better that you tell me what I want or else this time I will finish the sentence" there was a subtle threat in the man's tone that Flora easily detected, and this caused her to let out a shaky breath.

"I can use some of my abilities up to sequence 5 but my condition is very bad and I can't use any of my demigod abilities" she replied uncomfortably and the redhead just nodded.

"At least you're not as useless as I thought, what are the abilities you can use and do they have any limits?" Adryan asked curiously as he leaned against the sewer wall and Flora let out a slow breath to calm herself to avoid saying something bad.

The last thing she wanted was to piss off this crazy son of a bitch!!

"I can use Decryption which allows me to see the truth behind anything related to mysticism through data scraps.

I can also 'Steal' the powers of other beyonders and thanks to our current connection I can make you use them for a maximum of 15 minutes.

The limit is that it will depend on your understanding and mine to 'steal' the power you want, otherwise it will depend on luck.

But I can only do it 2 times.

I can also influence people through dreams but I'm not able to enter at will maybe when my condition improves that will changed" explained Flora deeply, she had never felt so humiliated.

That someone who was only sequence 7 put her in this situation caused her an enormous shame!!

Adryan upon hearing the abilities that Flora could use he couldn't help but whistle in surprise.

"That will be very useful if we can get your condition to improve then you can use more abilities right?" he asked with a small smile.

"Yes but that will take a long time" confirmed Flora.

"Now it's your turn to fulfill your part of the deal, warn my family" Flora said seriously and Adryan only smiled sharply.

"Oh no miss that was before, as you forced me to blackmail you the deal changed now I want something more"

"You've got to be fucking with me, what more do you want!" Flora yelled this time furious.

"Calm down, this time it's something small, nothing exaggerated, I know when to stop" he said and Flora exhaled hard through her 'nose' to calm down.

"Well what do you want this time?"

"I want to be able to 'join' your organization" Adryan said as if he was talking about the weather and Flora was taken aback for a few moments before growling.

"Why?" She knew she couldn't refuse but she needed to know that she wouldn't be putting her family at risk by accepting this madman!

If that was the case she would rather die!!

"Simply to have one more channel, this way it will be easier for me to find the ingredients I need and maybe some other artifact" he said non chalantly.

Flora was silent for a few moments and thought about what Adryan was asking for.

After being silent for a long time in which Adryan didn't say anything she finally spoke through her teeth.

"Deal, but you better warn my family"

"I keep my deals ma'am"Adryan replied still with a smile on his face.
