Chapter 260 – Pushing His Luck
Caleb chuckled and said to him : "If this kid is only 33 years old and has already reached the Stage 3 of a Warrior Spirit, then take my word for it, his intelligence is surely far beyond our comprehension."
He added : "Until Elias comes back and seeing how bad the situation is there, I will follow your command."
Mykael nodded and he came to pat his shoulder before opening a portal and saying : "Let's go back with them then, this Lan family is really fascinating, I can't wait to learn more about them."
Caleb's always impassive and almost austere face instantly lit up and he walked through the portal without waiting.
Mykael shook his head helplessly and instead of following him he closed the portal and warned his son that he would arrive in a few minutes, he wanted to check something first.
He went to Colin's room which was still sealed so that no one could enter and when he went inside, Colin was still sleeping.
He approached to check if he was fine and Colin probably feeling a foreign presence, immediately woke up with a start and Mykael grabbed the ice pick which was going to lodge in his right eye and let the other ice picks stabbing him saying : "I see that you have recovered well … You know Colin you really have to learn how to wake up normally without trying to kill everything that moves around you otherwise you will never find a partner."
Mykael had told him that in a teasing tone, and when he saw the ice pick which was still near his eye disappear and when he felt that the ones he had let stab his body had also disappeared, he finally looked at him and he saw that he was still very pale.
He frowned and asked him : "Damn it Colin, you should have told me it would exhaust you so much."
Colin chuckled and said as he stood up and walked over to him to check that the wounds he had just inflicted to him were already closed : "Would it have made a difference ? And did you really believe me when I told you that I would only need a few hours to recover after rendering a God helpless for a period of 10 days to 15 days, nothing is free and you know it."
Colin did something he rarely allowed himself to do but he felt so exhausted that he let himself go against Mykael's body who curiously didn't push him away as usual and then he said to him pushing his luck a little bit : "As for finding a partner, I'm not worried because the only one I want is an immortal God who is already used to my abrupt awakenings."
He heard Mykael sigh and felt himself being lifted into the air, he quickly placed his arms around his neck and looked at him wide-eyed, Mykael laid him back in the bed and he said as he sat down next to him : "But what am I going to do with you."
Colin leaned against the headboard and he said with a sad smile : "Don't worry, I know very well that you prefer women and I always knew it.
Besides, you have always been very clear with me that nothing will ever happen …"
He added avoiding his gaze : "I'm sorry, I know I annoy you with my feelings but I've already tried to move on and I can't, so …"
He swallowed before continuing : "So, if you want to dismiss me and send me back to the mortals I'll understand."
Mykael then took his chin so that Colin would looked him in the eye and he said to him : "Rest Colin and I can assure you that I don't intend to get rid of you."
Mykael released him and he got up but when he wanted to leave he felt a vine around his wrist and he turned his head towards Colin with a questioning look, but he immediately frowned when he saw that there were drops of sweat on his forehead and he heard him ask in a weak voice : "Can you stay until I fall asleep again."
Mykael easily broke the vine that had just been wrapped around his wrist and he disappeared immediately.
He reappeared at once near Axel who widened his eyes by seeing the holes and the blood on the white t-shirt of his father, but Mykael didn't let him the time to come back from his surprise and he asked him hastily : "I need Ashton's remedy against the mental fatigue, do you still have some ?"
Axel who saw that his father's wounds were already completely closed breathed a sigh of relief and even though he didn't know why his father needed it, he could see that he looked very concerned so he made five of them appear and gave them to him without question him and his father said to him before disappearing again : "I'm sorry, I'll explain everything to you later and I'll be back as soon as I can."
Axel didn't even have time to tell him to take his time that he was already gone, and he looked at the others who were looking at him surprised and he said to them : "He will come back as soon as he will have finished to deal with something."
Mykael went back in Colin's room and he saw tears rolling down his cheeks, he swore and Colin obviously didn't expect him to come back, so he sat back down next to him on the bed and handed him one of the remedies that Axel had just given him saying : "I just left to get this for you, it's a remedy against mental fatigue, I think you need it badly."
Colin wiped away his tears and said to him nerviously : "Damn, this is super embarrassing, I really thought this time I went a little too far and you were mad."
Mykael took off his t-shirt which was soaked in his blood and he immediately put on another one, he then looked at him and he ended up caressing his cheek.
When he saw that Colin was getting paler and paler he put his arm around his shoulders and he brought him closer to him until he leaned on his chest.
He knew that this situation was also his fault because even if he had always been clear with Colin that there would be nothing between them, he couldn't put the necessary distance between them so that Colin could move on.
And on second thought, he probably didn't want him to move on, it was very selfish of him but he liked keeping Colin around him.
