The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 938 A Dangerous Game

"Oh? Gloria Frost?" Minos' mother muttered that just before letting go of that young redhead's neck.

pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴoᴠᴇʟ "What is someone from the Spiritual Church doing in Dry City? What exactly do you want with my son?"

"Son?" Gloria looked awkwardly at Maisie for a moment until all the information she had in mind about Minos surfaced in her mind. 'So, that's it...'

But still recognizing Maisie, Gloria decided to answer this woman's question to avoid further misunderstandings. "I met your son earlier, and we had..."

"Cough!"

"Now, I am here to settle a personal matter with him and try to resolve this war."

"Personal matter? Tell me more about it..." Minos' mother's eyes sharpened with her watching the person in front of her as the blush on Gloria's cheeks spread rapidly.

Gulp!

"It's no big deal. He just used a fake name and tricked me into thinking he was someone else."

"I just want to talk to him to find out if it was all a pretense or if there was some truth in his words..." She said, embarrassed.

"Oh?"

'It seems my son has a lot of nerve...'_{pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ}

'He seduced this girl?' Maisie smiled, finding it fascinating how Minos dared to tease someone of Gloria's level.

'Who did he get that from? Albert wasn't that incisive with women. Even more so considering the abysmal difference between those two...'

Maisie had met Minos' father when the two were of about the same cultivation level. Because of this, Albert, who at the time did not know that Maisie was from the Flaming Empire, had gotten his hands on this woman and taken her for himself.

It was only after many decades of the infrequent relationship between the two that the differences had become as significant or more than that of Minos and Gloria today.

In addition, Albert was somewhat more faithful to her than Minos seemed to be toward Ruth. Because of all this, Maisie could not help but wonder where this side of her son had come from.

'Did he inherit it from my father?' Maisie pondered, remembering what she had heard about the past of her old father, who had had over 30 women.

Only after a long time, when these women were dying due to their low life expectancy, did he 'calm' about it and become faithful to Maisie's mother.

And remembering the stories she had heard during her less than 150 years, Maisie could not help but compare Minos to his grandfather.

'Poor Ruth, she'll have a lot of trouble in the future...' She shook her head in lamentation, putting Gloria aside to think of her disciple.

After a while, she became more serious and got straight to the point. "Do you like my son?"

"Uh... What?" Gloria almost flew backward, feeling surprised at this. _{pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴoᴠᴇʟ}

"If you don't like him, I think you'd better stay away from my son immediately."

"I know how you Spiritual Church people are, so I don't think it will be good for you to keep seeing him if you're unwilling to compromise."

"You will only cause trouble for him."

Gloria's eyes sharpened after she heard this, with her feeling wronged by the words of young Stuart's mother. 'Why do you treat me like a criminal trying to defile the 'innocent' Minos?'

'I am the victim here!'

'He who tried to sleep with me!' She shouted in her mind as she tried to breathe to avoid exposing her displeasure further.

"What is Miss Coleman talking about? I didn't understand your question..."

"Humph!"The source of this content is (f)ir(e).nᴇt

"Of course you understood me."

"Look, let me tell you this to make it easier for all of us. Minos is very stubborn, and he will do things the opposite of what you expect, sometimes taking the most difficult path in front of him."

"He inherited that from his father." _{ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​}

"So, if you are not fully committed to him, it will be best not even to begin any more meaningful relationship with my son."

"He will never agree to join your church just to be with you. Also, he will not become monogamous, as the women of your church demand of their partners."

"Then I fear that your intentions here will only cause problems for both of you. So, don't do that."

"Tsk!"

"For an absentee mother, you sort of want to get too involved in your son's life!" Gloria went straight to the wound without mercy.

"What did you say, brat?"

"Humph!"

"You don't need to know what I have with Minos. That's my business and his. So, from now on, if you want to know anything, do me a favor, don't come and talk to me."

"If he wants to tell you something, then he will!" After shaking one of her hands, Gloria said this, showing displeasure as she distanced herself from Maisie.

As for Minos' mother, she stood there watching that woman disappear from her sight, feeling anger at having to listen to Gloria's sharp words.

'If you weren't from the Spiritual Church, I'd rip your tongue out, brat!' She clenched her hands as she pressed her jaw in anger.

Maisie then said in a low voice that Gloria could not help but hear. "Well, if you're not leaving, I'll make it a point to stick around just to get in the way of your plans!"

"If you do anything to harm him, don't think I won't act just because you're from the Spiritual Church!"

After that, Maisie also left that place, heading toward the local government mansion.

As for Gloria, she had a displeased expression on her face, thinking how annoying Minos' mother was. 'What a meddlesome woman!'

'I hear that she and Minos have a terrible relationship...'

'I wonder how he will react to hearing that she wants to stand in his way?' She thought about it, as she remembered that young Stuart seemed to want her quite a bit.

A smile then appeared on her lips as she thought of a way to irritate that woman. 'Well, when he returns here, I will make it a point to become even closer to him!'

'Let's see what expression you'll make when he ignores you while he is with me!'

...

While Gloria was thinking about a dangerous game, Maisie was still red with anger. Still, she had already reached Minos' mansion, where she promptly made her way towards where Dillian was.

Since she had decided to stick around, she needed to find a suitable location not to disturb her son when he returned.

After all, if she just went to his residence without him knowing anything, it would only worsen their relationship.

And with that, soon after being recognized by secretary Mia, Maisie entered Minos' office, where Dillian and Abby were handling official business.

"Oh?" She said in surprise as she saw the beautiful blue-haired woman sitting in her son's armchair while Dillian was sitting on a couch in the middle of that office.

"Miss Maisie!" Dillian said in surprise, not expecting to see this person again so suddenly.

As for Abby, this was the second time she had seen Minos' mother. However, before, she had only seen this person when she was still at the Spiritual Academy. So, her memories of Maisie were not so good, and seeing this person here, she could not help but notice how prettier her fiancé's mother was.

"Mother-in-law..." She said, embarrassed, her face completely red.

"Hmm, you're Abby, huh? Ruth told me about you." Maisie carefully assessed the blue-haired young woman, observing Abby through every part of that young woman's body.

First, she saw the way Abby was sitting, like a genuine lady, with her legs together at each other, slightly leaning to the side, fastened by a dress that went to the height of her knee.

At the same time, Maisie could see the good measurements of Abby's hips and chest, which were not inferior to Ruth's measurements. In fact, certain parts of the woman's body were even more noticeable than those of the disciple of Minos' mother.

And noticing all this, Maisie soon realized the pattern behind Minos' choices.

But before she had even finished making her brief assessment of that woman, something shiny on one of Abby's fingers caught her attention.

"This..."

"You and Minos have reached that point?" She asked in an impressed manner, once again lamented by Ruth.
