Blessed by Night

Chapter 18: Reasons



Chapter 18: Reasons

The source of the sudden outburst was none other than Alex Heller as he confidently strode up to Malachi and Morgan and made his own proposal.

"Morgan don't you think his value is too great for a measly ten billion dollars?"

'Ten billion is measly? Fuck, I was poorer than I thought.' Malachi was currently looking back at his life through new lenses.

"I am prepared to offer you 50 billion dollars if you sign with true sky. As the number one guild in the country we also have various resources we can offer you that you won't find anywhere else."

"Are you trying to steal from me again you piece of shit?" Morgan's eyes became the color of lava and the air around him became noticeably warmer.

"Now now Morgan calm down, I'm simply trying to offer our young friend here the best deal possible."

Alex ignored Morgan's rapidly rising temper and gave Malachi a prize winning smile.

"So what'll it be kid? You wanna sign wit-"

"Sorry but I can't sign with either of you."

"I knew you'd make the right choi- wait what?"

Alex and Morgan stared at Malachi completely dumbfounded.

Not just them, almost everyone in the room was looking at him like he'd just grown a second head.

He just turned down fifty billion dollars with out bating an eye!

"I-Is there some reason you can't sign with us?" Morgan had calmed down considerably and now was hopelessly confused.

Malachi showed a cheeky grin before calling over his shoulder. "Hey boss lady, you wanna tell them why I can't sign?"

The sound of heels clicking against linoleum echoed throughout the spacious room as Luna walked towards Malachi with a stack of papers in her hand.

"Mal.. are you sure you want to do this? Your value is inconceivably high and I only have the funds to offer you a billion at most.."

Luna had begun to second guess this entire thing ever since she realized his true worth.

Even though she wanted Mal to join her guild, she didn't want him to feel like he'd been taken advantage of.

Malachi's only response was to take the papers from her hand. "Got a pen?"

She absentmindedly handed him one and he prepared to sign the papers only to be interrupted by Alex once gain. "Wait!"

"Why would you settle for less money? Immortal moon can't offer you half of what true sky could!"

Malachi tapped his jaw with the pen in his hand and pondered how to best answer that question. "Well the only reason why I even came here today was to gain her approval. And as far as the money goes…"

Malachi looked towards his sister who was watching him with proud eyes. "I guess I don't really need it? I don't need to be the richest man alive, I just need to be able to provide for the only family I have left and give us a life worth living. We were eating sleep for dinner just last week so just a billion is plenty for us."

"Plus if I join this guild I get to walk beside my oldest friend again and that's all I've wanted ever since she got blessed."

Aisha and Aubrey did not say anything, but they were both incredibly touched by Malachi's words.

Morgan couldn't help but respect this young man.

Truthfully he found meeting most of his fans to be a burden since he never set out to be a hero of any kind.

But meeting someone like Malachi left him grateful for his status that helped him form a bridge between them.

Even if he wouldn't join his guild, he'd surely try to establish a friendship with this young man.

'Luna has a good recruit indeed.'

On the other hand Alex felt like his brain was short circuiting.

Could his enhanced hearing be failing him?

Not only did this brat reject his exorbitant offer, he actually idolized that hothead Morgan over him?

This boy was an idiot!

Alex had never felt so humiliated in his life!

"You… you can't be serious right?" Alex swallowed his anger and tried to change Malachi's mind somehow.

"Immortal moon is an all women's guild!"

"I'll make an exception." Luna waived her hand as if she was unconcerned.

"S-surely the other members of the guild would feel-"

"I don't care." Aisha interjected.

Luna's two bodyguards looked at each other before shrugging as well.

"He's an invaluable resource."

"If guild master Luna doesn't mind I don't either."

"Seems like there's no more objections then." Malachi smirked.

With everyone in the room watching, Malachi Saint an S ranked blessed became the first male member of immortal moon.

"H-hey can I join too!" Bianca suddenly spoke up.

Luna was only momentarily surprised by the girl's boldness before she smiled. "I don't have a contract on hand for you but if you come with me to the office I should have no problem getting you sorted out."

An S rank recruit and an A rank one in the same day?

Luna's luck seemed to be getting better and better.

Luna left with Bianca and her two bodyguards but not before writing Mal a check on the spot.

It took everything in him to suppress his trembling hands as he looked at the exorbitant number written.

Bianca blew him a small kiss and promised to come find him later prompting Mal to scratch his cheek in embarrassment.

Having women suddenly be so interested in him was definitely gonna take a lot of getting used to.

As Malachi and the girls left, Alex was still frozen in place as he stared at Malachi's disappearing back.

Truthfully he did not want to kill him but by this point he had no choice.

He'd been publicly humiliated and passed up for a second rate guild?!

He wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he didn't kill this boy to avenge himself.

'So sad… another young star dead so soon.'

-

Currently, Malachi and the girls were heading home before they prepared to move.

Aisha had found a good realtor that could help get the two siblings into a nicer place by tonight.

As the group arrived at their old run down apartment, they frowned when they realized someone was in front of their door.

With a sudden blowing of the wind, the group was able to see exactly who it was and the girls auras became murderous.

Malachi sighed before he walked up to the uninvited guest.

He didn't know why Melanie was here but just seeing her gave him a massive headache.
