Chapter 180: Your wish comes True, Fox
"Look, it looks like Jayvald is right, Amber" a melodious voice with a hint of sarcasm echoed.
Both Eli and Rize snapped to atttion as they heard the voice.
Th, they saw four people walking towards them, one of whom had bright flames in their hands, illuminating the area.
Eli instinctively took a defsive stance.
Upon closer inspection, Eli realized that the group consisted of a brown-haired beauty with a hint of blue, a fluffy fox-eared woman, a wolf-eared woman with arsic hair, and.....a gold-haired handsome man holding flames in his hands.
"Oh, if it isn't Vice-Rep? What are you doing here?" Eli asked with a teasing expression, though his eyes remained fixed on Eva Dolphus, the woman with arsic hair, who appeared to be rather angry.
"Hello, Rep, I could ask the same question. What are you doing alone with Austin's fiancée?" The fox-eared beauty, Amber Fox, inquired with a smile, though her eyes scanned the area for anything unusual.
Last time, they almost Eliminated him due to the exertion of fighting against the Lower floor's Overlord, but now...
"He is dangerous" Pearl, the brown-haired beauty, muttered.
"Well...." Eli glanced at Rize and replied with a smirk, "I am teaching her about love".
"...Wh did--" Rize, who had a puzzled expression and was about to ask a question,
"Love? You are teaching love or something else....You horny bastard" Eva gritted her teeth in anger as she unsheathed her slim sword.
"Oh, Oh, Oh, Why violce, Lady?" Eli motioned his hand to stop, however,
"Th what are gathering a?" Pearl chimed in wh she saw him using his Terra Arts.
"Hmm, That's just self-defse.....In case a wolf decided to leap on me" Eli replied honestly.
"Eva, Stop" Amber interrupted and looked at Eli with a wry expression.
"Amber, that bastard was trying to harm Rize" Eva retorted as she ignored Amber's words, and the tsion betwe the two groups escalated.
'ssshh'
'Ting'
Eli swiftly blocked an incoming attack from Eva. The veins a his eyes protruded for a second before returning to normal.
"Fast as ever" He muttered, only seeing her wh she was right in front of him.
'chhkkkk'
Eva was about to launch another attack wh a red blade suddly shot toward her, but she skillfully dodged it, causing the blade to splatter on the wall like water.
'Advanced Art...ah?' Eli thought as he glanced at Rize.
"Rize?" Eva questioned, a tak-aback expression evidt on her face.
"Ms. Eva Dolphus, Mr. Asher Eli was only helping me. Please stop concluding inappropriately" Rize said indiffertly, ev though Eva was trying to help her.
"....." Eva looked down and backed off without responding. The tse standoff showed signs of easing.
"And You, Mr. Asher Eli, don't let your words mislead" Rize said as folded her hand.
"..." Eli stared at her for a second and really wanted to ask, 'Th what about 'I was in love with you' matter and you ev rejected it without letting me speak?' However, his atttion was diverted to the person who stood siltly, seemingly uninvolved in his affairs, Alexander, the gold-haired handsome boy.
Alexander, maintained a facade of apology, 'Sorry'.
However, Eli was growing increasingly irritated with the situation.
"Tsk, come on, damn brat. Do you think I'm as dse as those girls? I can fucking see that smug look on your face" Eli grumbled, pointing out Alexander's less-than-apologetic expression to Amber and her group.
Alexander, flustered by Eli's outburst, hurriedly attempted to explain himself,
"No, Mr. Asher Eli, I'm happy because I saw you doing well" and He continued with 'no so gloomy', "I thought, everyone was E-Eliminated, I'm relieved to know at least you are doing f-fine"
Amber's team softed upon hearing Alexander's naive and good heart.
Eli looked at Alexander, shock still evidt on his face...."Who?" he muttered abstmindedly.
"What the fuck are you talking about!!!"
Eli shouted, his irritation mounting as he couldn't comprehd why everyone was acting strangely, 'Isn't it fucking obvious he is acting? and why the fuck others are acting like an idiot....huh? Ev Rize?' Eli noticed ev Rize, who was looking at Alexander with a tder expression.
Eli's sudd outburst caused others to snap out and look at Eli with a questioning gaze.
"..." Ignoring their scrutiny, Eli directed his atttion back to Alexander, his expression growing more indiffert.
"They are the ones who almost eliminated our team, right?" Eli asked, his voice steady.
"Y-Yes" Alexander stuttered as if he was scared of Eli....it irked Eli more.
"Th why are you with them?" Eli inquired further while clching his fist.
Before Alexander could respond, Amber stepped forward and explained,
"We made a deal"
"A deal?" Eli's brow furrowed as he sought clarification.
"Yes" Amber confirmed and continued, "As long as he could help us, I promised to give his team 50% of the share, excluding the Overlord, which is why he was cooperating with us".
Eli contemplated this for a momt, scepticism evidt on his face.
"50%... hmm? I don't see any befit for your team, though" he remarked, seeking to understand the logic.
"..." Amber remained silt, unwilling to answer his question.
"Well, whatever" Eli finally shrugged, growing weary of the conversation, "Cancel the deal, Alexander, and come with me".
However, Alexander's response was swift and firm,
"Huh?....I-I can't do that....I promised them" He said with determination.
"..." Eli's irritation flared once again, and he stared back at Alexander, his voice now cold and resolute,
"If you don't, th I will consider you a member of their team and eliminate you".
"W-What?...'ggrrrr'" Alexander 'baffled' by Eli's words and gritted his teeth 'dejected' face.
He met Eli's gaze with defiance, stating, "I am a Hero, and I cannot go back on my promises".
Amber and her team displayed signs of elation at Alexander's commitmt to the deal, but Eli found the whole situation comical.
"Hero?....ppffftt...hahahahahaha" He laughed maniacally, provoking a shiver to run through the spines of those prest....ev causing Rize to gulp nervously.
'Seriously Hero?' Eli's laughter only grew more maniacal, and he couldn't help but vision Alexander's futile attempts.
He was convinced that no one had noticed Alexander's past actions, not ev Aadya and Mairel. However, baselessly accusing Alexander could put Eli in a bad position, and he was aware of this....
But at this point,
"I don't fucking care" Eli had reached the limit of his patice with 'The Hero of Dawn Kingdom.'
He didn't want to cause major problems for Adriana, but giv the way Alexander had seemingly tried to harm Zera.
Th Luna's trauma face, Eli was beginning to suspect that Alexander might be responsible.
His anger had flared throughout the day, yet Eli's priority was to maintain a harmonious team so tried to cope with Alexander, however,
"Just fuck it" Eli had finally decided to let go of his reservations about Alexander.
'spark, spark'
"Ting"
"Why violce, Mr. Asher Eli?" Eva appeared in front of Alexander, blocking Eli's incoming attack on Alexander.
"Huh?" It took a second for Alexander to react.
"Because he was trying to stay true to his word, you're trying to eliminate your own team member, and he's trying to help your team, you know" Amber chimed in.
The air a them started to distort with tsion.
"..." Eli, with his eyes closed, oped his shining red eyes, glaring at Amber.
In a calm, indiffert tone, he responded, "Aa, Fox, shut the fuck your annoying mouth....Helping us after Eliminating our team members what kind of joke is that....".
However, Amber said something else,
"Oh, But what if he was trying to use us?
Have you considered that possibility?
What if he planned to use us to lower our guard?
Don't you think about such things?
I'm disappointed in you, Asher Eli, who has received Her Majesty's favour"
"..." Eli remained silt, staring at Amber who had fired off a series of questions.
"Cat got your tongue?" Pearl chimed in, adding her own thoughts.
"I think he was just like other members of our team" Pearl said as she hinted about others idiocy.
"..." Eva glared at Pearl, knowing exactly what her commt implied.
'sigh' Eli sighed and decided to back off.
"Hmm?" Amber raised an eyebrow in surprise. She had expected Eli to react with anger but was surprised by his ability to control his emotions.
"What are you scared of because we outnumber you? Man up, pretty boy. Alexander is more of a man than you" Pearl remarked matter-of-factly.
"Hmm? What man are you talking about? I can fuck for a minimum of 5 times, and for the maximum, I hav't tested because my wife always runs out of ergy a the 9th " Eli stated with a smile, standing beside Rize, who looked at him with a shocked expression.
No, Her shock wasn't about the information he revealed....or at least not tirely.
There was something else that had tak her by surprise, and she couldn't believe her eyes.
"W-What the? Y-You...." Pearl's cheeks blushed deeply, and she stuttered in response.
"..." Amber and Eva glared at Eli and th said in unison,
""You Horny Pervert""
"I am, Do you want to verify it?" Eli affirmed with a challging tone, beckoning them.
"gggrrr"
They gritted their teeth in disgust.
"What is Her Majesty ev thinking, sponsoring his guys? Is he for real?
You're just an ugly bastard who only thinks of the lower half" Amber said in disgust.
There's a significant differce betwe words spok by a frid and those from a stranger.
While Jayvald, Austin, and Noah could be quite lascivious, Amber and Eva had grown up with them, so they didn't feel as offded. However, Eli's words left a bitter taste in their mouths.
"Alright, let's finish this guy" Pearl said furiously after calming down.
Hearing that, Amber added,
"I'm sorry, Alex. But it seems we're going to Eliminate him. Don't worry;
I'll make sure you get your team's share."
"..."
"Alex?"
Amber frowned wh she got no response, and Eva, who was standing in front of Alex, also glanced behind her.
"..."
There was no one there, except for the flames floating in the air.
'Chuukkk'
"Oh, Your wish comes true, Fox" A Pleased voice echoed.
