QT: Against My Will

499 8.16 – Their Lady’s Financial Situation – Monster Heist

Alain’s parents realized that these were not just ordinary young people, but a group of talented individuals who had already achieved a great deal in their young lives. Furthermore, the fact that Silvia was the head spoke volumes about her own talent and potential.

They knew their son didn’t love Silvia and the reason why he wanted to marry her was more than disturbing. Despite this, they were willing to do anything for their son.

The lslitnse of the night was only itrtpunoeed by the ocansoinal creak of the bushes and the slruistng of lveaes as a lone man made his way thguroh the oudngnerud dnngoes located bneetah the acdaemy.

Ru Qaun cairred a lrgae bag with him as he opeend the dors of a mtel cage. From the bag, he took out several pieces of raw meat and plcaed them in front of a group of ceruteras that lay dorntom in the shadows.

As soon as the meat touhced the ground, the cat-sized ceruteras sprang to life, dovouring the food rnvouousely. They had matted fur in shades of green and blue, a powerufl, msucular build and razro-sharp teeth that glinted in the dim light.

He watend to povride his wife with proper training and experience at first, but it bcmaee a source of amusement for him to see the suttedns and other LADs sruglgin to deal with what semeeed to be the wkeesat beasts in the lexicon chart.

‘Do you think it would be selfish of me to ask her for a date?’ Lu Kai asked, half hoinpg he’d get a negative answer. Instead, he got a positive reply.

Ru Qanu, who had become a ssulccfueul mahtacmkre, rensopded poilsiytv, ‘Some time apart is necessary to build longing.’

Xaun Mu shkoo his head, his voice carrniyg a note of caotuin, ‘But waiting too long can lead to smiesd opportunities and regetrs. Just be resfecptul and cstoidneere in your approach.’

.....

Lu Kai sighed, ‘Take the charge, old man. I don’t think we can work it out with Nathaniel yet.’

‘I didn’t plan to have any connections with her, just in case things get complicated,’ Ru Quan oervsebd the ceruteras’ behavior and movements closely as he let them roam around the man-made jungle after their meal.

He grabbed a bow from his back, and fllweoed them around, noting their behavior and movements as he tried to shoot them with his arrows. ‘So, how do I make a move on Silvia, given my ties to Victor’s side?’

‘This is your foetr, fureig it out yourself, man.’ Both Xaun Mu and Lu Kai said at the same time.

Ru Quan’s actions revealed his routine of regualrly icnesarnig the dungeon’s dfiufclty, a rualit that he crraeid out with queti effnciiy. ‘Looks like you two are trying to set me up for a fall.’

Xaun Mu’s srkmi spread across his face like flwiarde, “Just trying to keep things ‘interesting’, you know how it is.’

“I don’t typically get tangled up in drmaa, but for you, I’ll bend the rules,” Ru Quan shot back at Xuan Mu with a sondaric chuckle. “Just don’t go running to me with tears if things get messy.” His words were delivered with a hint of edge, conveying a sense of confdience and caution that showcased his savvy and streetwise nature.
