1097 Come at me with whatever you have, Lady Vyriana.
"Of course, that is if Lady Vyriana is willing to personally guide me without holding back,
But if Lady Vyriana is scared of testing it out..."
Nux spoke as he glanced at Vyriana with a meaningful smile on his face.
The intention behind his words couldn't be hidden.
And Astaria, who had spent most amount of time with Vyriana and knew what kind of woman she was, froze when she heard Nux's words.
What her Master hated the most was someone challenging her authority and her strength.
Time and time again, she had made it clear in front of her. Even the people from the Mysterious Order bowed their heads whenever they saw her, by now, Vyriana was habitual of being respected like that.
Yet here stood a man, a greenhorn who was not even a 100 year old, a man who knew nothing about this world and stood practically nowhere,
And even then, this man dared to say the words he just said.
Astaria gulped, nervous about how her Master would react, Nux's other wives were the same.
Nux, however, was looking forward to Vyriana's reaction, he could tell what he was playing with and he knew he was about to face the consequences, however, right now, he was looking forward to it.
"Heh."
And while Nux and his wives' heads were filled with different thoughts, a chuckle leaked out of Vyriana's mouth, gaining everyone's attention.
Vyriana then looked into Nux's eyes and,
"You are quite arrogant."
She commented.
"You said you liked my arrogant side, so I am just showing you more of it.
I will say the same thing I have said before, Lady Vyriana, I will do whatever I need to do to become a man who is perfect for you."
Since Nux knew that he was going to face the consequences, he decided to go all in.
He knew Vyriana was not some young girl whose heart would flutter because of his words, however, he still had to start from somewhere. So Nux decided to start building the foundation.
He was a diligent man.
His diligence, however, was useless since the 'foundation' he was building was currently so small that Vyriana completely ignored it and focused on his other words.
"I never said I liked your arrogant side. I said I do not hate it.
Also, the Arrogance I was talking about was the arrogance that you could back up with your skills.
What you are saying right now is...
Utter foolishness.
Foolishness that could get you killed."
Vyriana's words were scary, when he looked into her eyes as she talked about killing him, Nux's body automatically flinched, he however, kept his mind intact and allowed this conversation to continue just like he had imagined in his head.
"This arrogance does not come from my confidence in my current skills. I already know where I stand. I am not foolish enough to think that I am even nearly capable of being a challenge to you in my current state, I could tell the same even before witnessing what I saw a few minutes ago.
However, will it be the same in the future? 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
It will not.
My arrogance comes from my confidence in my Potential.
If you sincerely guide me to the correct path, I will surpass you before you even realize it.
If Lady Vyriana does not believe me, she can always test it out.
Again, that is only if Lady Vyriana actually wants a challenge, if you like the current feeling of staying on the top, not wanting to be threatened by anyone, then I won't have anything to say."
Nux shrugged and once again, he tested the boundary line.
His wives could feel the tension palpable in the air.
From the start to finish, there was no major change in Vyriana's expression, her aura was calm, as if she wasn't taking Nux's words seriously, but even then, the wives were on high alert.
Their bodies were stiff, they were on edge, they knew that if Vyriana actually decided to do something, they would be absolutely useless and helpless, but even then, they couldn't help but observe this situation with utmost concentration.
Nux playing with fire right in front of them, the wives swore that this was the last time they would allow him to do something crazy like that.
"I know what you are doing. You are trying to challenge my ego to get me to help you.
It is quite an old trick if I am being honest."
Vyriana commented.
"It is quite old, I agree.
However, I highly doubt that this will fail in front of someone as arrogant as you."
Nux shrugged.
"I mean, there is no way you would let a foolish man like me go after I challenged your ego, now is there?" He smiled.
Vyriana narrowed her eyes,
"You are right.
There is no way this trick won't work on someone like me. Actually, this is the best way to ensure that I do what one wants.
It is a sure-shot way to manipulate me.
However, if it was that easy to manipulate me,
Why do you think others have not done it yet?"
Vyriana questioned with an intimidating look on her face. Nux, however, just smiled in response, then he bravely looked into the woman's eyes and,
"That's because no one was daring enough to challenge your ego before.
That is of course, before you met me."
As if she liked his answer, a big smile Vyriana's face and,
"No one was daring enough except you huh,
Then get ready boy, it is time to face the consequences of your actions.
I hope you won't break before I am done with you.
After all that high and mighty talk, it would be quite embarrassing if that happened, no?"
"I have said it before, guide me and I will surpass you.
I am not someone who would 'break' before I achieve my goal."
Nux then looked into Vyriana's eyes and,
"I am ready to face whatever you show me, So come at me with whatever you have, Lady Vyriana.
I hope that you won't disappoint me."
