Chapter 468 Riona Skadi
‘Well, she is Amaya’s mother all right.’
Nux couldn’t help but comment in awe.
‘…’
Thyra didn’t say anything.
Riona was an exact copy of Amaya, well, not exact, Amaya’s features were more clearly defined, and her face was more well structured, if Amaya was a prime example of perfect beauty, Riona was a woman with a mature charm around her.
Raven hair, black eyes, thin eyebrows, luscious red lips, a lean figure, just like Amaya, Riona’s breasts weren’t large, however, they weren’t small either, they were a cup size bigger than Amaya’s.
All in all, Riona was a beautiful, charming woman.
It would be a lie to say that Nux wasn’t attracted to her.
However, just like he said before, he didn’t have any plans to go after this woman.
He would stay loyal to his words, and loyal to Amaya.
“What are you silent? Am I too ugly?”
Riona questioned with a gentle smile on her face.
Thyra shook her head, “You are an attractive woman, Riona.”
It was a little strange for her to call her previous Master directly by her name, however, Thyra had decided to do that from now on. She has to forget her past. She wasn’t the emotionless killing machine she used to be.
Riona didn’t seem to mind it as well,
“The same goes for you, Thyra. Well, it’s not really a surprise, I knew you would turn into an attractive woman from the moment I first met you.
Kukuku~ You were such a cute little girl back then.”
Riona chuckled.
Thyra frowned. Riona was being a little too talkative.
To be honest, Thyra was getting a little suspicious.
This Riona was too different from the ‘Master’ she knew.
“Adding your current strength, you have turned into the perfect woman there is.”
Riona commented.
Thyra just smiled while she continued to observe Riona.
“Though I will say, I thought that you would still need around 80-100 years to become a King Stage Cultivator. I never imagined that you would break through into the King Stage so quickly. You practically skipped the entire Expert Stage.”
‘ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N ovelBi(n)’,
Riona chuckled and then, she questioned,
“Just how did you do it, Thyra?”
Thyra finally realized.
‘So that was why she was being so friendly.’
She sighed in relief.
Now that she could read this woman in front of her, things were better.
A small smile appeared on Thyra’s face and she replied,
“I got a little lucky.”
“A little lucky? Heh, you skipped an entire cultivation stage, Thyra, that is not a ‘little luck’.”
Riona chuckled.
“Hahaha~”
Thyra started laughing as well.
The two women continued to laugh, however, both, the King Stage Assassin following Riona, and Nux knew that none of them were actually happy.
Finally, Riona stopped this tiresome game and continued,
“Then I am right to assume that you won’t be accepting any more missions, correct?”
“Indeed.”
Thyra nodded.
“What about this Mission?”
“I will consider accepting it if you tell me why you want to kill Raguel.”
“That is not what you said befor-”
The King Stage Assassin retorted, however, before he could even complete his words, Thyra glanced at him with her icy cold eyes and spoke,
“Your words are not required here, stay silent.”
“You…” The King Stage Assassin glared at her in anger and hatred, earlier, he held himself back because he was in Thyra’s area, however, here, things were different. This was his yard.
Here, he coul-
Just as the King Stage Assassin was about to attack Thyra, Riona raised her hand and glanced at Thyra,
“Your attitude has changed quite a lot after you became the King Stage Cultivator.”
“I am not the same as before.”
Thyra shot back.
“That is good. However, keep in mind, there are always people who are stronger than you.”
“Indeed, there are always people who are stronger than you.”
Thyra smiled.
Riona’s face turned serious.
She then released her aura.
Her aura was strong, just like Ember, however, unlike Ember, whose Aura was dominant and intents to suppress her target, Riona’s Aura was dangerous, something that intents to pierce open her targets.
An Aura of Assassin, an Assassin who was stronger than Thyra.
Although Thyra was not overwhelmed by her Aura, she was a little affected.
Riona stepped forward and threatened,
“Don’t try to bite more than you can chew.”
Thyra, however, did not back down,
She stepped forward and looked into Riona’s black eyes.
There was no trace of fear in her eyes, the two women continued to look at each other but no one moved.
2 minutes passed by, however, the tension between the two women only continued to increase.
Suddenly, however, Riona stepped back.
“Alright, be honest, why do you want to know my reason? I don’t think you are the type who was ever curious about something like that.”
“I told you already, didn’t I? I am not the same as before.” Thyra replied.
Riona, however, narrowed her eyes,
“I stepped back, you should step back a little as well. Deals are made when both parties are willing to provide their best. It is never a one sided effort. Not unless you have a ridiculous advantage and trust me, you don’t have that.”
Thyra thought about this for a while and finally decided to answer Riona’s question,
“Targeting Raguel doesn’t benefit you in any way, sooner or later, he will be punished by the Skyfall Kingdom for attacking his own brother and sister. If you wanted to target someone, it would be Princess Evane. She is the one who will become the next ruler.
Killer, her would affect the Skyfall Kingdom, now that is something that benefits you. Killing Raguel, on the other hand, is useless. Rather, you would just be taking the risk of exposing yourself and would be forced to pay for the consequences if you get caught.
It is not worth it.
You are not someone who will make irrational decisions, so why this?
Why do you want to kill the First Prince so badly?”
“My reason is personal.”
