The Tale of the Devil Sword

Chapter 20: Avery-2

"So what does a powerhouse like you want?" Avery asked in a cold yet mocking tone.

Indeed for Avery he is a powerhouse. First of all he killed 2 of the province's strongest cultivators and it would have been 3 if Ning Jing had not wore any Armour.

And even if they were sneak attacks now she cannot she through him. Neither his cultivation, nor his health.

Even if he is a little transparent she just thought he is a soul whose flesh was destroyed. He might be weaker than her pet snake but is still stronger than herself.

Kylo did not immediately reply. He silently stared at her.

He stared at her for 5 minutes. She was starting to feel uncomfortable. Just when she was about to ask again Kylo opened his mouth.

"Don't you want to defeat them?"

She was immediately stunned and could not reply anything.

After a while she opened her mouth and said with extreme caution "What do you need?"

Indeed she has every right to be cautious. Why would someone help someone without any Ultimate motive?

Kylo just smiled, started walking towards her while saying "Even though I want you it is neither because of your beauty nor because of your strength. You see I am short of a maid by my side, that is why I am willing to give you a chance"

Even though Kylo said this while smiling Avery's blood had already started boiling.

She was a great beauty.

Her strength was enough to rule over a region of the province.

But this guy wanted her as his maid. How could she not be angry.

Just as she was about to angrily rebuke, Kylo stopped in front of her.

He slowly raised his right hand, pointed out his index finger and gently tapped between her two eyebrows.

Suddenly information started flowing inside her brain. She held her head with both hands as she was in pain.

She wanted to curse Kylo but she held back when she saw the information.

The moment the information transfer was finished she closed her eyes and rearranged everything she had received in her head.

Then she slowly raised her head and looked towards the black haired handsome devil. This time she did not have the same wariness or the scheming eyes.

She looked as if she was in contemplation. After a long time she slowly raised her head.

"I still do not understand why do you want me as your 'maid'. Seeing the information you passed me I can say you are much much stronger than I imagined.

With this type of information you can easily get hundreds of more people but why only chose me?"

Kylo smiled and said "You do not need to think about this. You were the first one to appear before me. I took a liking to you and that's it."

This is another lie. Kylo would never do something out of goodwill if he does not have any benefits.

Yes he may do whatever he wants like a devil. But at a time of crisis like this when he does not know what is happening with him exactly he would curb his devil nature to his best.

He already said this to Avery he would snitch on her if he gets enough benefits.

But the information she got overwhelmed her and she could not think much of it.

True she is intelligent. But who was Kylo? He was the ruler of all Devils in existence in his world.

He schemed against his peers who were as strong as him.

He toppled the previous Devil Emperor and united the entire race which had been impossible in the history of his world.

If he wants someone to fall under him he would take everything step by step to catch them off guard.

Previously in the fight he first caught her off guard by saying he would let her enemies know about her.

She by mistakenly injured Xia changhe resulting in his death.

He took advantage of the situation and killed Freya as well making them feel fear.

Had he only killed Xia Changhe they would have thought he died because he was already injured.

But killing Freya stopped their thoughts of further attacking. Coming to an unknown place, facing an unknown power fear got the best out of them.

Similarly she was already tensed from the moment she appeared.

[I smiled when she entered that immediately ticked her off.]

Ticking her off would mean her brains would not respond at the usual speed.

Then he then gazed at her anklets which were probably something precious to her which immediately made her wary but Kylo did not ask anything about it. This will make her think

[I am neither greedy nor nosy...]

Then he joked lightly

[That relieved the tension...]

He then threatened and warned her about how she cannot escape from him.

[Though she was unexpectedly clear headed enough to even guess that I am in some kind of troubled situation...]

But Kylo again managed to piss her off by saying he would make her his maid... though he meant it.

Just when she was about to blow off he stopped in front of her taking away the momentum. Since she was confused and angry he could easily touch her and pass on the information.

He did not raise his hands quickly while giving the information because she might get defensive. But instead raise slowly so she could think she can easily defend herself when it is this slow.

And the last step was the information.

[I gave her a 'Bloodline' related techniques and information...]

And it was not just any information but information from the Odachi he got.

But that was not the end.

[I just gave her half of the information though...]

This meant she would crave for the other half but she could not get it.

[Her understanding about the bloodlines is not high enough to comprehend the bloodline techniques.]

The technique he mentioned can increase her strength in short term permanently. She could also freely roam without hiding like a criminal.

[That was the final nail in the coffin!]

She could not see his cultivation level.

She saw that he can easily killl a single Soul formation stage expert.

She knows he has these precious information.

And she realised she cannot run away from her.

[Now her brain should completely stop working!]

She fell for the trap completely!!!

She is gradually favouring the idea of being a maid. She is thinking that being a maid would be better than hiding from her enemies or pissing Kylo off.

She has her head down and eyes closed so she cannot see but had she raised her head even once she would have seen...

Kylo's eyes that were seeing her as his prey.

Kylo's smile that he was enjoying her situation.

She would have seen the TRUE DEVIL!!!

(Author Note: Alright guys this is the biggest chapter I wrote till date! In this chapter I explained everything in detail in order to show Kylo's wits. In future I will just explain the main points and not in such details.

It took me more than 4 hours to write this chapter *sigh*)
