Chapter 941: High-Level Performance
Hearing that man’s deep voice, the two beauties sunbathing in that spot looked in the direction of King Carline, surprised to see him in such a short time after Minos’ ‘visit.’
“Father! Are you back already? I thought you would join the rest of the Counter-Revolutionary Army on the Black Plain.” Kara said this as she looked up, directly into her old father’s eyes.
At the same time, Jade was still lying, only now smiling as a good wife would after seeing her beloved husband again after weeks apart…
King Carline then said. “I was going to do that, but after discovering that scoundrel’s actions, I couldn’t help myself and run back here!”
“All this time, I was worried that something worse had happened to you…”
Then he sat down in a chair over there, breathing deeply, as if he had just released a burden from his shoulders.
Seeing those two well had been a great relief to him!
“I’m glad nothing bad happened to you, or I wouldn’t have known what to do…”
“Dad…”
“Honey…”
The two softly murmured, both feeling guilty for what they had done to Minos during those unforgettable days.
Particularly Jade, since Kara had not bothered to probe her mother and Minos during this period. After all, there was no reason for her to be suspicious of her dear mother getting into bed with an enemy!
Besides, Minos had stayed in this place with her most of the time, and this young redhead was not possessive about her companions either. So, she was entirely in the dark about Jade’s adventures with him.
And for that, Jade felt much more guilty than Kara since she knew about the things her daughter had done and remembered how Minos had taken care of her.
Gulp!
She swallowed her saliva in nervousness, feeling a sensation that was slightly making her more excited.
But even with her heart rate increasing subtly, this woman was very experienced and knew how to disguise any signals her body might give off.
With that, King Carline did not even notice the slight redness on his dear wife’s face!
“But then, why were you two so happy before I arrived? Did something happen?” He insisted on the same question as before, curious.
Jade then shook her head from side to side and said. “Nothing much, honey. I was just feeling good…”
“I feel that no matter how bad the current times are, our future will be great.”
“Is that so?” King Carline asked in disbelief, not understanding where this impression of his queen came from.
Jade’s eyes sparkled, while her lips formed a more contagious smile. “As for little Kara, I’m sure she’s just affected by her mother’s mood…”
“You know how it is, right? We, women, have those things.”
“Really?” He looked at Kara.
Having heard all that, Kara smiled at her father, following her mother’s lead, “Hmm, I guess that must be it.”
‘It seems my mother doesn’t want my father to find out right after his arrival what Minos and I did during those days…’ Kara thought about it in a grateful way to her mother.
She had done so many nasty things with Minos in her father’s workplace, and even if ‘no’ one had seen those things, the Spiritual Kings who had tried to intercept young Stuart knew of how she had sacrificed herself for the greater good…
After all, that day, young Stuart had said shameful words in public and even treated her intimately… How could such experienced people not understand what had happened?
It was absurd to think that all those people knew nothing about it.
Therefore, Kara knew that her father would find out about her affair with Minos sooner or later.
But it was much better for him to find this out later than at this moment that they had just come together!
For that, she was grateful to her good mother.
“Sigh…”
“I’m glad at least you can smile at these moments…” King Carline then began to unload his worries onto those two. “Being able to see you two smiling is already a great benefit to me.”
“Ah, honey, I will always be here to support you.” Jade stood up from where she was, quickly coming to her husband’s side and sitting next to him.
“Why don’t we talk about our next actions? Let us help you with that.”
“Oh?”
“Yes, dad!” Kara stood up as well, looking at her father with a more serious look on her face as she put a towel around her body to look more appropriate. “Earlier, I told you what Minos wanted…”
“Why don’t we give him what he wants? We can still get out of all this without suffering too much.”
“What are you saying, Kara? How can you say that so casually?”
“But father…”
“No more! Minos is a demon trying to destroy our family. How can I bow down to him?”
“He came to my own house and acted as he wanted… What do you think he was doing?”
“Let me tell you, that was a message from him to me, saying that if I didn’t bow down, he would come back here and kill all of you!” He said in anger.
“How can I trust him?”
But Jade thought her husband was exaggerating all this.
At first impression, Minos indeed did seem like an asshole willing to run roughshod over everyone in his path. But after dealing with him, she had realized that he was a much more rational young man, someone capable of sitting down at a business table to negotiate.
Just like all of them!
With that in mind, she leaned a little closer to her husband’s body, running one of her hands through the spaces between her husband’s red armor until she touched him at the height of his abdomen.
“Honey, even though that person is terrible, I don’t think we can stand against him.” She said this softly, in a tone that King Carline only heard from her in more intimate moments.
“Then, why don’t we give that deal with him a chance? I feel we will suffer from what he has promised to do if we don’t take that opportunity.”
“Besides, considering his strength and the things he’s done on the Black Plain, I believe the future can be superb for us if we are at his side.”
“Maybe we can even make it to level 60!”
“What?” Kara was the first to say this in surprise, finding it unexpected that her mother was defending Minos in this place.
As for King Carline, he was much more shocked than Kara, but he had not said anything. Instead, he just stood there, looking sideways at his wife, while his mouth was open in disbelief.
“Excuse me, can you say that again?” He subconsciously said this after a few moments of silence.
“Tsk!” Jade made a tongue-tied sound, displeased, feeling that her husband could not notice such simple things.
“I’m saying that I don’t see our family gaining from that person!”
“The opposite of that, if we continue this way, the next time he comes to our city, we will be slaughtered without even knowing it!”
“So, what do you want, Raymond? Do you want to risk all our lives just because of your pride?” She irritatedly asked as she stood in front of that man.
“I guess the price he is asking us is not so bad considering how strong he is!”
“You don’t know how terrible those days were for me!”
“There wasn’t a day when I didn’t think the worst wouldn’t happen!” She said as tears trickled from her eyes.
“Jade…” King Carline said this, feeling bad that his wife had experienced such terror.
He then jumped up from where he was and promptly hugged her, trying to make her feel protected now that he was there.
“How about that? Let’s talk more about it and consider the situation after Minos’ journey of terror is over. Then, if things remain troubling, we’ll do as you and Kara want.” He said in a comforting tone, feeling bad but also obligated to do such a thing.
“Is that true?” Jade asked as she looked up and observed her husband’s gray eyes. “Then I feel better.”
She then rested her head on King Carline’s chest, smiling softly. “Well, if you’re willing to make so many sacrifices for me, let me help you with all this, okay?”
“You and Linette already have too great an antipathy toward that person. So, it’s better if Kara or I deal with him in the future.”
“Uh? Kara…” He said this reflexively, not liking that idea. “No, not Kara.”
“I think you’d better take care of it yourself, dear. That way, I’ll feel better.”
“Oh?” She bit her lips before nodding her head in agreement. “Then I’ll do it for our family!”
