Chapter 190 Chapter 190 - Deal?

Melinda's voice echoed throughout the whole Arena, bouncing on the walls. Everyone in the Arena had heard what she had just said and that was on purpose.

Melinda had obviously known that Aiden hadn't yet had the time to announce to Maelis and Emma his departure, so she decided that she would do it in his place.

She didn't think that he would be mad, especially since she was helping him a lot right now.

She had basically saved him from certain death since Sylas would have killed him without Aiden even knowing about it.

"Not part of a middle-level family anymore?" mumbled Sylas, as his dagger and Melinda's fan were still at a stand-off.

That stand-off was also really close to Aiden's neck and it wasn't the most pleasant situation on his side.

Still, he didn't mind it as the conversation that was happening right in front of him only centimetres away from him was much more interesting.

It was that he was hearing a conversation between the top powers of this world and he couldn't help but be extremely intrigued by all of it.

"Wait, don't tell me that's why you requested to meet him after the first team fight," said Sylas realizing what had happened.

"You didn't realize, ahaha, you really aren't as intelligent as everyone says," uttered Melinda, keeping a big smile on her face, as if not caring about this whole situation.

She had even insulted him in that response which caused Sylas to clench his teeth once more.

"So, are you going to stop trying to kill the winner of the Inter Family Tournament or what?" asked Melinda, losing all the easiness in her eyes.

She was extremely serious when she said that.

Aiden who was right beside them, could easily tell that if she didn't like his answer then a fight would happen.

It wasn't something that Aiden wanted as he was still really close to them, however, he wouldn't mind seeing how two of the strongest powers of this world would fight.

In fact, it interested him.

Sylas started shaking his head from left to right, thinking it seemed about what his answer would be.

"What do you want for his life?" asked Sylas, clearly not wanting to fight against her.

It wasn't that he wasn't confident about winning, he just knew that it wasn't the time nor the place to do such a thing.

However, when Melinda heard that, she already had an answer ready for him.

"Nothing."

She didn't care about whatever temporary benefits she could get from Sylas Nightshade, she knew of the long-term potential of the Reaper and that was all that mattered in her mind.

Aiden who heard her answer was also surprised as he thought that she would be bargaining something for his life just like how many would have acted in such a situation.

"Anything, just tell me," continued Sylas, looking desperate now.

Before Melinda could even give an answer, Thorin who was still on the stage had no choice but to intervene.

"Sylas stop this and come here. We'll discuss about all of this later. Look at your son, you probably did more damage to him than he did in the trial," said Thorin, clearly talking about the fight that Lucius and Aiden had in the trial.

Many people in the crowd started to murmur amongst themselves as they had just learned some pretty interesting information.

"Was it really the Reaper that made Lucius fail his trial?"

That was the whisper which was heard the most as no one could believe that.

Just what were the chances of the two of them being in the same trial, they were so slim that they didn't even believe it.

"You heard him. Let's talk about that later," said Melinda, regaining her non-caring tone from earlier as she continued smiling in his face.

"Argh, fine. But, I'm telling you we'll need to make a deal or else that boy will be assassinated soon," said Sylas, threatening Melinda's defence.

"Sure," she muttered clearly not thinking too much about his threat, then she turned her head toward Aiden.

"Don't worry, everything's fine," murmured Melinda.

Sylas had heard that and was really frustrated, but he still decided to back off because the worst-case scenario was that the Reaper needed to be killed.

Then, as Sylas got a little further away, Melinda couldn't help but add a little comment.

"Do you really care that Lucius got defeated or are you acting like this because your ego was hurt?" she asked nonchalantly.

She knew that the second part of her question was probably the reason why he was acting this way.

The Reaper had basically humiliated him by beating his son. Well... that was what Sylas thought at least.

However, Sylas didn't even turn his head or respond to her question or insult depending on your point of view.

He simply continued walking onto the stage that was right in front of him as he could see his son there all beaten up.

However, there was no regret in Sylas's eyes, in his mind, he had done what was necessary.

His son had failed him and there had to be consequences, that was his mentality.

Only the best of the best could use the name Nightshade and if his son wasn't part of the best then he deserved it.

"Alright, The Reaper please come on the stage," asked Thorin once again.

This time, there was no interruption as Aiden walked right beside Melinda toward the stage.

'So, this is the pressure of a top power of this world,' thought Aiden, as he could feel some shivers run down his spine.

Then, as he continued walking toward the stage, he remembered Sylas's first move and no matter how many times he rewatched it in his mind, he still couldn't comprehend what had happened.

But, Aiden came to a conclusion, what Sylas had done didn't resemble the Flash Step at all.

Maybe it was Flash Step but executed with a much bigger degree of understanding than when Lucius had done it.
