Chapter 445 - I Own You
Farah's eyes twitched, and Damien could see that he was right on the spot.
"So what if I want to kill him? Who doesn't want to rule an entire empire? I am sure you are also planning for something like that. Otherwise, why would you kill Tristen?" Farah asked with squinted eyes.
Damien thought that he should have expected this kind of dangerous ambition and thirst for power from this woman though he had no idea how she was planning to kill the Gale Emperor on her own.
Killing someone in the Profound Ethereal Realm was no joke, even if they were sleeping in the bed.
It was said that those who were in the Profound Ethereal Realm could put up an ethereal barrier around their body which their ethereal core can produce on its own even if they were asleep.
So even if someone possessed a very powerful weapon that could potentially kill a Profound Ethereal Realm cultivator, they wouldn't be able to do it unless they woke them up.
"What I am planning is none of your business. But since you seem so eager to kill the emperor, I am sure you won't mind working against him, do you?" Damien asked with a slight smile.
Farah knitted her brows, "Wait...Do you plan to use me as a mole?"
"What else should he use you as? Unless of course, you prefer death?" Valentina suddenly asked as she glared at her, making Farah's expression unsightly.
Because of experiencing Valentina's bloodthirst before, Farah didn't even dare to show the slightest offense to her.
"See, you shouldn't ask needless questions when you already know the answer. It does not make you look innocent if someone as cunning as you act dumb," Damien said as he played with the ends of Valentina's hair.
Farah gritted her teeth, wondering why this handsome scholar-like boy would take a liking to someone plain like Alena while her own charms were not working on him.
She was sure she was way more beautiful and sexy than Alena, who looked like a commoner girl.
Even when she earlier lowered her head and revealed her cleavage, Godnim's eyes didn't even flicker for a second, which took a heavy toll on her pride and ego.
She thought as long as it was a man, she could charm them and manipulate them slowly, no matter how powerful or old they were.
But Godnim seemed to be a different kind of young man who was immune to anything she did. She couldn't believe such a man existed in this world.
"Then how do you plan to use me as a mole?" Farah wanted to know what kind of precautions Godnim was going to take to make sure doesn't betray them.
Damien smiled as he picked up the ethereal imagery disc from the side of the bed, much to Farah's surprise, who didn't notice it because of how distracted she was.
"It's quite simple, as you can see. I am sure you already know about me using these little amazing things. This has the recording of you revealing your plan to sleep with the emperor, gaining his trust, and then killing him. So if I send this to the Gale Emperor, I don't have to tell you what happens, right?" Damien said as he held the metal disc in between his fingers.
Farah's expression tightened, seeing that disc as if she was looking at her death warrant.
Even a child knew the consequences of planning the murder of an emperor, especially someone like the Gale Emperor.
But Damien wasn't done with just that. He took a women's bracelet from his spatial ring and gave it to Farah, much to Valentina's confusion though she decided to wait and see what Damien was planning.
"Ohh...you plan to—" Farah suddenly stifled the suggestive words she was about to say after remembering that Valentina was still here. So she silently accepted the bracelet and inspected it, only to have her brows pulled together.
"You must have noticed something."
"A miniature ethereal formation?" Farah asked as she continued to inspect it to see if there was something else hidden within this seemingly ordinary bracelet.
"Good that you recognize it. But on the outside, it might just seem like a miniature defensive formation though hidden within it is a transmission formation that allows the receiver, in this case, me, to hear whatever you say. It will remain active as long as it is on your hand. So, if you remove it, I will know the formation got deactivated, which I will consider as you breaking the deal, and the Gale Emperor receives a free recording of your ambitious plans," Damien said as his eyes glinted.
Farah's eyes narrowed as she looked at Godnim, wondering how this young man could be so scheming and smart enough to cover all angles like this.
It was as if she had dozens of eyes watching her constantly, even if Godnim was not before her.
"It seems like you have really put some thought into this. But you really didn't have to go this far. How could I ever possibly betray someone as handsome and intelligent as you?" Farah said with the best smile she could put up though she didn't dare to show her broken teeth.
But her expression stifled when she felt Valentina's bloodthirst and quickly waved her hands, "I was just complimenting your man. Don't you like that?"
Valentina's expression relaxed a bit, thinking that Damien getting compliments was a good thing even if she knew Farah might have other motives in saying it.
"Then good for you. But before we do anything else, I want you to procure me the Pandemonium Needles. I am sure you have it, don't you?"
Farah's eyes suddenly lit up as she remembered something, "I remember now...no wonder Tristen...I mean, your slave was indirectly asking for those needles. But what makes you sure I can get it?"
"That's up to you to make sure. Even if you are not really my slave, you have to work for me unless you are ready to face the consequences. I basically own you now. So you better fulfill my orders lest you want to die a dog's death," Damien said without a change in his expression and nudged Valentina as he got up, "Clean up the bloody mess and come out.. We will be waiting."
