Guild Wars

ored her.
If it was in Boundless, that was somewhat okay, but she should forget about anything happening between them in the real world. 

Draco stood up and bowed lightly to the other before moving to enter the Castle with his men, leaving the satisfied Lords behind.
They also packed up and were about to head out when a dismembered head was thrown on the table. 

Draco slapped his forehead when he saw the face of the person on the table, as it was the head of the Mayor Ferguson.
He had forgotten to call Eva off, since things had been negotiated already.
Then again – knowing her – it would have been pointless. 

He walked back and put his hand around Eva ’s waist, as she came out of her invisibility with a heavy frown on her face. 

”I ’d like you all to meet my wife and soulmate, Eva.
She is the most beautiful woman in the world and she despises anyone who stands in our way.
Please tread around her carefully, as even I cannot save you if you cross her. ” Draco introduced Eva with a bitter smile. 

Eva folded her arms and raised her nose at the Lords, who also had strange and wry expressions on their faces.
While Eva was certainly a beauty on the level of a real goddess, they were superior lifeforms to humans, so her effect on them wasn ’t as pronounced. 

Not to mention that Eva had acceptable control of that aura now, so it wasn ’t like she absolutely had to wear a veil everywhere anymore. 

”We greet Superior Lady Eva. ” The Lords bowed together, not daring to show disrespect.
They could see the cold killing intent and disrespect for the life of others in Eva ’s black eyes. 

She was the stark opposite of Draco, who was genial and very easy to talk to.
As such, they made a note to report to the organization that everyone must step lightly around her, and focus communications with Draco. 

As for the head on the table… 

”Mayor Ferguson was simply a Thrall of our organization, a figurehead we placed there to make our activities in this city easier.
Dying at the hands of a Superior Lord is not something even worth reporting to the organization. ” Julia said with pursed lips. 

”Leave it to me.
I ’ll handle the dissemination of news as well as the re-election process.
It is nothing to trouble yourself over, my Lord. ” Genny offered with a smile. 

Draco nodded and bowed once more before leaving with Eva.
As for Eva herself she just gazed at the fellows with utter disdain and deleted their existence from her mind, right in front of them. 

Truly, it was a different feeling to see someone literally forget who you were willingly, and right in front of you too.
These 8 Lords looked to each other in dismay before leaving silently. 

They left Keith behind, who had seemingly been forgotten by everyone during the whole process.
His existence was so inconsequential that not even a common member of the Sanguigno Brothers had bothered to point out that he was there. 

He had no forces, no money and no power.
He was just a common person among superhumans.
How could he be taken as anything but an ant? 

This sobered him up and made him realize that he was truly nothing in the scope of things.
All the power his family had chased after was but dirt in the eyes of the truly powerful, and this changed his way of thinking. 

Keith was at a crossroads.
He could try to weasel his way into Superhuman with the information he had been given, and acquire power from them.
With their backing, he would be able to resist and find ways to kill Draco! 

But this idea was tossed out by Keith almost immediately.
He wasn ’t some braindead fool, who thought himself to be something entirely special. 

Superhuman might show themselves generous by just letting him keep his life for this information, yet he knew that no matter what, he would – at most – become just another a cog in the wheel.
He would just be throwing away his dog life if he tried to go against Draco. 

This left him with two realistic choices.
Take the freedom he had been given and live his life normally.
He could start a family and even try to edge his way back into the underworld with his sharp acumen as well as the training from Baron D ’our. 

Or, he could throw away the normal life and continue his life in the dark, working for Draco.
The moment he had heard the whole story and gazed at Draco ’s response, he was able to see much more than the 8 Lords. 

There was mocking hidden deep in Draco ’s eyes, especially when they spoke about the Lineages.
It was clear that Draco already knew about this power, so Keith reasoned that he could be a member of one of those groups, hence his absurd power for his age. 

He was probably a bastard child, or was born in a side family or something like that which separated him from his source.
As such, he could even rise beyond Superhuman and Supernatural in time. 

Keith speculated this, but he wasn ’t sure.
He didn ’t know what his fate would be if he took either choice, and this indecision gnawed at him.
He had limited time to choose, as Draco was about to disappear from his sight. 

With a steely gaze, Keith rushed up to Draco and got to his knees.
”Please accept me into your ranks, Mr.
Draco! ” 

None of the Sanguigno Brothers had stopped him from entering the castle, as he posed no threat.
They just watched the proceedings like bystanders. 

Even Eva and the others just looked on with mild interest.
This further humbled Keith.
What was a life-and-death decision to him amounted to nothing but a show for others. 

Draco turned around and gazed at Keith sharply, with his light green eyes flashing with surprise and praise.
”I expected you to try and join Superhuman for revenge.
By bringing them here, I could have gotten more information from them after slaughtering you all. ” 

Keith ’s heart skipped a beat.
So, Draco hadn ’t forgotten about him, he had just been baiting him to make a very obvious and predictable choice that anyone in his situation would make. 

Draco smiled with interest as he brought Keith to his feet.
”But since you have shown to possess an IQ above standard, I guess there is a better use for you than just a sacrificial lamb.
Go to Akainu and he ’ll set you up. ” 

Keith had a premonition in his heart at that moment.
Something from somewhere told him that he had made the greatest decision of his life at that second.
