Chapter 37

~~ Three years later ~~ (2008)

Ashborn's pov

"Haah, This planet is truly beautiful. It's a pity its inhabitants' pollution is slowly killing it." I said to myself while enjoying the sunbathing on my private beach in France.

"Well, That was the price humanity has to pay for revolution." A voice stated beside me who I recognized as Melina. After staying with me for years, we've grown close, plus we sharing a bed made her and the rest of the hare*Ahem* peerage the only people in the universe who could talk to me casually and even call me by my name directly.

"You could change that Ash, you know. All you have to do is just use your influence to stop it, plant a few million trees here and there, then *boom* global warming is no more." Said Yelena with a somehow flustered expression, clearly showing that she's drunk. Man, that sinister is truly a genius of his own to be able to create a 'vodka 2.0' that can make even rulers drunk.

"Yelena!! Stop spouting nonsense while you're drunk! If the matter was that simple, humanity would have solved the problem long ago unless by 'Influence' you mean using the empire's resources for fixing another planet's problems." Said a yelling Melina. That girl really has to relax a bit and stop being so serious all the time, even I'm not as serious as her.

"Just relax girl, You don't have to use the yelling as an excuse to cover the insecurities of their size, you know that Ash loves all sizes." Yelena replied in a teasing manner causing the Iron not-so Maiden to blush from embarrassment, and before she could restore to her and continue her daily argument she gave me a side glance like she's confirming something. My reply was: "All sizes matter." Adding with an approving look and a thumbs up.

"No, that's not true I...." And with that, they continued their argument, with me not minding them as I have already gotten used to it.

"It's lively here, isn't it." Said Natasha after getting out of the water, giving me a kiss on the cheek, and Observing her sisters with amused eyes. Man, She's sexy as hell, I think I should have my meal early.

"Are you trying to seduce me, woman?" I asked, smiling.

"Hmm, Maybe I am. Is it working?" She asked, Man, she's really good at this, huh.

"Unfortunately, I am too lazy to get up. Maybe later sweetheart." I said, causing her to pout, then suddenly came closer to my ear and whispered: "I don't mind waiting for a while, Just make sure to not keep me waiting for too much." With that said we engaged in a deep kiss with our tongues for a while before she broke it and retreated to the chateau not forgetting to move her hips seducingly, trying to change my mind but unfortunately for her laziness isn't the one to be underestimated.

A minute later after the redhead went inside, another redhead came out holding what looks to be a laptop. She then headed towards me, sat on my lap, and said: "Your laziness truly doesn't have any boundaries to not give away to her seduction huh?"

"Well, what can I say? I'm just built differently, literally." I replied with a chuckle then asked: "So what's with the laptop, you got anything interesting?"

"Well, Why don't you see for yourself? it's all over the news." Jean replied then brought the laptop closer to me, and what appeared on the screen was a 2 meters ugly green with the contrast of black monster with spinal bones outgrowing from his back and bones from the elbow joints, rampaging on the street. She then added: "This is happening in Harlem, It's live."

'Hmmm, Should I interfere? But I'm too lazy. Maybe I should interfere but not personally. Hmmm, Who should I send? Ah, I Know.' Coming out of my thoughts, I called to my shadow: "... Iron." And from my shadow, two purple eyes appeared.

"You will be the one to deal with him, Just don't kill him." Hearing his monarch's order, Iron disappeared from my shadows, to carry out his orders.

"Girls! Something interesting will be happening on the news." Jean said, gaining their attention. She then turned to me and asked: "Why don't we grab some popcorn and watch the fight inside?"

"Sure, Although I'm pretty sure it won't be a fight. It will be a one-sided beat down." I agreed with a smile.
