The first day since leaving the Yun family hence passed by, while Azrail and the others rested, the news of what happened already fill the coffers of the top brass of the Empire, no matter how well they want to hide it, there are still leaks that got the information outside, first when the news was found it was filled with criticism.
But when the same information kept being repeated, it was harder for people to just diss it off, several powerful people and organizations started to keep an eye out, a genius of untold proportion was making its move and no one dared to attack or make a sudden move.
The smart ones knew that such unparalleled talent came with the backing of a humongous teacher or power, even without that such backing the power Azrail displayed was more than enough to show that nobody within the lower realm could attack him, everyone soon began to mark the child that had begun to show his fangs.
Just a single move from Azrail flipped the entire situation within the Empire, a huge wave was being pulled up and Azrail was in the middle of it all but he didn't mind it one bit, heck Azrail was planning on the issue arising.
He didn't make such a scene just for revenge, no, Azrail knew the situation of the Empire better than the Emperor himself, he had spent a fair amount of his life here in the darkness of the lower heavens and for his plans to come to fruition, he needs to awaken those dying flames.
Before going to sleep Azrail had already given his mother small tips on what she should do, with the plans he gave her she can take the best path to make an amazing profit out of the current situation. This would be the beginning of the powerful Empire that he will be creating. So after giving his mother the information and seeing her run to make profits, he went to sleep, hugging Xuanyin.
...
'What's with this atmosphere?'
Azrail thought as he looked at Raena looking at him, the morning was all well as he woke up and had breakfast with everyone, he could tell that his mother was busy hence he didn't get to disturb her yet even before he could move for the day he was dragged here was Raena while Valencia wasn't even allowed inside the room.
Hence the situation arose where he was sitting on the chair facing Raena who was looking at him with a crazy smile, yet cold eyes? though she looked like this Azrail knew what was really up with her mind, he kept his calm face as he asked.
"Aunty? why did you bring me here?"
Silence, there was only silence as Raena kept looking at him, truthfully from her perspective, Azrail hasn't spent a lot of time with her, hence their relationship ain't that close, even though his mother and she are sworn sisters but Azrail didn't have the patience to continue this charade, he ain't someone that will be playing to another's tune.
"I can guess this is the matter on Valencia, right?"
He asked slowly leaning back in the chair while looking at Raena with a piercing gaze, which brought a small twitch to his cold eyes, seeing it a full-blown smile came to Azrail, his voice turning lighter.

His words were domineering and possessive, he wasn't acting as if that was his true feeling, once again there was no silence, only that crazy smile filling her face. Seeing this Azrail stood up from the chair and he walked standing in front of her, even with her seated he had to look up a bit, both of their eyes clashed against each other.
Their gaze kept crashing, getting tired of this Azrail took Raena's left hand with his right one, his small hands barely holding onto hers. He willed his Qi as it flew from his body to hers, while the Qi reached her body it started to twist as it began to join lightly with Raena's Qi, a small connection being established.
"You know?"
She asked in a cold voice, the smile from her face fading while her expression turned stone cold, a bit similar to Azrail's mother. Her words brought a taunting smile to Azrail as he spoke.
"Looks like Valencia didn't tell you everything about me, nothing can hide from my gaze"
His words made Raena frown for a moment after which she sighed out, her gaze turning sharper as she asked her questions.
"What are your plans for my daughter?"
"I wish to make her my queen as we rule over this cosmos"
Azrail directly replied and seeing that their connection was stable her cold eyes lightened a bit before asking.
"Do you love my daughter?"
"Right now no but I am willing to fall in love with her"
He replied.
"If you had to choose family or your desire which would it be?"
She asked, a bit of her pressure leaking out.
"My family"
Azrail replied without hesitation, making more of the coldness in her eyes recced at the truth.
"Will you harm my daughter?"
"Never"
His words were strong, without any pause.
"Will you run away from her?"
"Never, I won't let her get away from me even"
His reply sported a smile on her face.
"What are your goals?"
"To reach a height that nothing shall ever threaten my family"
He replied, making her smile wider.
"What makes it that a bleed or a great stumble in your path won't take you down?"
"Watch me break everything then"
He replied, his eyes flashing with a dangerous hint as his eyes turned lifeless and dead for a moment, his will honed from all his extreme situations leaked out for a moment, seeing this an unknown emotion flashed deep with Raena's eyes after which her smile turned fully split, her cold eyes disappearing as a maddening glint filled her eyes.
"Rule over everything and break those that wish family harm"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBoth Azrail and Raena spoke the same words at the same time, the smile on Raena filling Azrail's face, an astonished look filling them both, which soon turned to full-blown laughter as the two of them had the same despairing smile.
"You pass!"
Raena shouted as she hugged Azrail directly to her chest, giving a small kiss on his forehead.
"Welcome son-in-law!"
She teased as her disguise started to disappear, her brown hair and eyes disappeared but what replaced her was a stunning beauty that would drive people mad with her face, just like Valencia she had pink hair but her eyes were blood red that gleamed with malicious intent, everything about her face was perfect and beautiful.
Giving birth to someone of Valencia's level did its magic, as her charm was taken up to another level but unlike Valencia's, hers felt more controlling, dangerous, and seductive. Those blood-red eyes flamed as they looked at Azrail with fondness.
"Welcome to the family!"
She said as she let Azrail go giving him some space, both of them had returned back to normal but the two of them knew that deep down that they are similar, the joint Qi connection between them finally broke as Azrail took his hand back, just as he was about to speak Raena did.
"Come in my daughter!"
Just as she finished speaking the door opened and Valencia came in, just as she entered she removed her veil, bringing out her whole breathtaking beauty, walking to Azrail she took up his arms and placed her head there.
"So cute!"
Raena screamed as she used a certain device to take a photo of the situation.
"This is definitely going in the album!"
She spoke as she came forward and hugged both Azrail and Valencia, Raena slowly whispering into Azrail's ears.
"If you hurt my daughter I will cut your throat.....hehehehe..."
"You don't have to laugh it off, I know you're serious"
Azrail replied in an exasperated tone.
"Good"
Raena replied before leaving the hug.
