Chapter 24: Avery-5

(Author Note:- 75 power stones in a week for 1 bonus chapter)

Kylo calmed down and looked towards the lady who was sweating and started teasing her "Hohoho is little Avery scared hmmm?"

"W-who is afraid. And do not call me little." Even though Avery retorted and grumbled anyone could easily notice her voice which was trembling. But Kylo's teasing gradually soothed her inner worries.

"Well well, if my little Avery says so then fine" Kylo did not stop calling her with that title though before continuing "Well now ask me what you want"

"Really I can ask anything I want??" Avery asked in a doubtful tone since she was already played once.

Kylo nodded his head gently and said "Of couse ask me anything you want."

Avery immediately got her vigor back and asked "Then tell me about you, your past and everything you can."

Kylo grinned and said "That is for another time, my dear little Avery."

Avery argued "Did you not just say to ask you anything that I want to know."

"Un I did say that.."

Avery interrupted before Kylo could complete his sentence "Then why are you not saying anything now."

Kylo raised his right finger and shook his index finger while retorting "But I never said I would answer right?"

"Ughh...." She grumbled which made Kylo laugh before asking "So can I atleast know what is your actual strength?"

Kylo had a grin on his face.

Immediately Avery had a bad feeling. Even though she knew him for less than few hours she got a hold of his personality.

Especially that cheeky grin on his face.

And just as she expected her ominous prediction came true.

Kylo's cultivation left her mouth wide open.

He was in mid Spirit synchronisation stage!!!

"W-w-w-what the hell!!!!

How did I become a maid of someone weaker than me!?

And why the hell did we even retreat back then!?!?" Avery shouted loudly. Her mind became chaotic since she it was becoming difficult for her to accept the situation.

And as if to rub salt into the wound he added "Well, at that time I was not even at Spirit synchronisation stage"

Avery was stunned! She could not believe so many soul stage experts including a combat soul expert and the snake who was even stronger than her, lost to someone so weak!!

She was so depressed that it looked like she was about to cry. She continued to stare at Kylo blankly while just blinking her eyes.

Kylo saw he teased her enough. He still wants her as his loyal maid, so he just added "Well well do not cry, in fact I am injured right now. My true strength is far above anything you have ever seen."

And indeed this worked as a magic. She immediately calmed down and felt relief. Then she thought about the information passed by him and the killing intent she felt and she knew he 'should be' right.

[Emotions are really her weakness. Be it in the earlier battle or be it now she gets emotional on anything that is slightly unexpected to her.

Now that she is under me I have to train her in this area as well]

*sigh* Kylo sighed thinking about the hard work he had to do

"What happened?" Avery asked curiously.

Kylo shook his head indicating nothing.

Avery did not ask about it anything further but continued her earlier topic and asked "Then what was your true strength?"

"You do not need to think much about it, in fact you will just be pressured knowing about it and think various unimportant things affecting your cultivation.

Well let me just give you a rough idea, I would just say I was strong enough to kill any of these True Supremos with my sneeze."

She immediately snorted as she could not believe his words.

Then she remembered her behaviour where she was shocked to the point her mind blanked and knew it was Kylo who was again playing with her.

She gave up on retorting just came up with one conclusion: [Sadist].

Kylo chuckled when he saw through her mind but did not say anything. As long as she does not have any idea of betrayal it was fine.

In fact he could even see she was slightly naive. More naive than he imagined.

[Though she is intelligent. Was she some sort of princess or what?] This was the only thing in Kylo's mind.

The reason Kylo was gathering Subordinates was because he was not sure what the future held. The way where he felt he was set up he always feeling iffy.

And he somehow had a feeling that he might need some strong helping hands in the future.

He was initially planning to gather an army but feeding and taking care of a big army would be troublesome.

(Author Note: feeding does not mean food but resources)

He might as well take few subordinates, each of them being as strong as an army.

One might ask he already had subordinates in his previous world so he should have just gotten strong and go back in the world to take them under his banner again.

But Kylo was not sure if they are still loyal to him.

He does not even know if they are alive or dead.

That is why this time he would make sure to get all his subordinates strong and make sure they are completely loyal to him by binding them with contracts or by any other methods and not just believe any verbal promise.

He shook his head and put all these thoughts to the back of his mind before a playful smile once again appeared on his face while looking at Avery.

Immediately she felt a chill when she looked at the sadistic smile.

Indeed from her point of view that playful smile of Kylo's was a sadistic smile.

She was feeling ominous once again.

And true to that feeling the devil asked "So, who are they?"

(Author Note:- Kylo really loves bullying Avery eh~)
