Chapter 447 CH 433: THE ROAD

After the two of them finished their delicious food, they both released a sigh of contentment from their lips. A sigh that was filled with both happiness but also traces of sadness and remorse.

After all, they had managed to eat something that they would have never tasted in their entire life no matter how strong or rich they were or could become.

Ahmadou was not the genre of cook who simply relied on the great ingredients he found through his adventure.

Adam did not know how to explain this but clearly, by mixing the properties of his prana, he was able to induce many positive effects in the food, making this an overly luxurious dinner.

"His reputation truly deserved."

Natasha muttered as she felt her power grow slightly stronger. One meal alone had given her the equivalent of a few weeks or months of arduous. What if she was served such a meal every day from infant age up to this day?

She could understand why he was so respected despite being only an executor. This kind of skill and power was something no one wanted to see fall in another hand.

Ahmadou was strong enough that killing him covertly was not feasible without bringing out a group of Executors with divine weapons or a few directors.

Killing him was simply not worth the hassle and harassing him would simply send him to the other side. As such everyone decided to help him keep his neutrality.

In a way, this was a very enviable position. One who had no enemy. Sadly for her, such a thing was too complicated.

"Adam, I know this isn't the moment but tomorrow I will most likely be too busy to see you so I need to talk about everything we know now."

Now that she was satiated and well, it was time to talk about the serious things.

"Firstly. I want to thank you once again for saving Fedora. The two of us might have some small distance because of how we were raised, but I love all my siblings and I am happy to see them well."

Adam nodded, "It's only normal. You are my lover after all and even without that, Fedora is endearing."

Natasha blushed a little. This was the first time Adam straightforwardly named their relationship. While he didn't exactly call her his girlfriend, she was happy with what she got.

"*Ahem* Anyway, I am thankful and my parents wish to meet you tomorrow night or on the morning of the 9th. "

"I will be busy tomorrow night. In fact, I will most likely be busy at least until noon of the 9th or perhaps even later."

He would soon be able to enter the dreamscape again. He didn't know if he could evolve to the next level then but becoming a Knight level would undoubtedly be helpful to him. If he was right in his speculation, each new level gave different properties to his soul.

The Rook made his soul heavier, stronger, and sturdier; It did not increase the power of his soul itself but rather increased the strength of his foundation. In this case, the Knight's evolution should make his soul sharper, perhaps giving him more attack means.

This would be necessary for his fight.

"Oh?"

"Some last preparation I need to make, fear not."

"I see. I also need to talk about this. How do you plan exactly to help me? I will be honest, there is basically no way my parents will accept letting you stay close to me during the evolution. I think even Alkesandra will be reluctant."

"Because I am an outsider?"

"Yes." Natasha was forthright with her words, "There is also the fact that many of them find you suspicious. My siblings believe you are most likely a spy and a traitor."

"What about you?"

"For me, you are neither an outsider nor suspicious. I gave you my heart and I am willing to bet my life on you."

Natasha was not naive like Fedora. She knew very well that in this world, even family could betray each other. This was the very essence of betrayal after all.

Even so, she believed that living in a world without forming deep bonds because you feared possible betrayal was nothing but a sad excuse for an existence.

She trusted Adam. She also trusted her family and her servant. The fact that there was indeed a traitor did not change her belief.

Some may call her stupid or headstrong. But she liked living this way far better than being in constant doubt. n.-0VelbIn

"How dashing. You are making me blush."

Adam spoke in a deadpan way, as he made the plats, now empty float, and reach the kitchen. Adam didn't bother cleaning them, not because he couldn't but because he knew nothing of sanitary procedures in this place. It was better to avoid messing things up.

" — As for being present to help you...Trust me. Unless your parents are somehow Zodiac level, I very much doubt anyone will be able to stop me from helping."

Adam had honestly even more confidence in his dream power than in his World. This was how powerful they were now. Adam did not think there were many people outside of those who actually specialized in the soul who could notice his illusions.

'Then again, I have never faced someone who opened their Gate. So better not be too arrogant.'

"Very well. For the final point, everything points out to my second brother being the culprit. I have heavy doubt about this but it's not impossible."

"Why?"

"My brother is in all but name the true second in command of the gang. While the eldest brother received combat training alongside my elder sister, Mikhail was the one who actually got his hands dirty and did the little things. He enjoys a great deal of fame. All he lacks though..."

"The power of an alpha."

"Yes."

Natasha sighed. Power was always something complicated and power struggles in noble families rarely ended well.

"Very well. I will pay attention to him. Anyway, we finished. So, shall we go?"

Natasha's heart thumped as she stood up, her eyes swimming and heat rising as her heartbeat accelerated.

Finally — It was time.
