1293 An Opportunity

“What did you say…?”

Faustina stared at Nux and narrowed her eyes.

“You met Lilith?”

Nux nodded, “Yes.”

“And you agreed to her terms?”

Faustina questioned as her blue eyes shined as she glanced at Nux, it was as if she was peeking into his very soul to determine whether what he was saying was true or not.

“I did.”

Nux nodded again.

He had nothing to hide.

Faustina, however, wasn’t happy with the situation.

“Are you sure you weren’t under one of her spells? Were you in your right mind when you accepted that bet, no, scratch that, do you wish to follow through with that bet right now? If the answer is no, then let me know, I will deal with the situation.” Faustina spoke, her expression made it clear that the woman was ready for a battle.

She wasn’t going to let Lilith manipulate her child and let her have her way with him.

Nux, however, shook his head,

“Mother, I was fully conscious when I made that decision, the terms she offered were simply too desirable for me to not accept.

I have Lord Caesar’s Blood flowing inside me, I, out of all people, can tell just how valuable a Progenitor’s Blood is.

I couldn’t possibly miss the chance of my wives getting the Blood of a similar level.”

“…”

Faustina turned silent.

She couldn’t believe that Lilith would go as far as giving her Blood. One had to know, that even if they were the Progenitors, they could only give their Blood once in their entire lifetime.

And seeing as how most Progenitors still hadn’t given their Blood to others even when millions of years had passed just showed how much importance they placed on it.

Anomalies like Vyriana and then Nux were needed for the Progenitors to actually view them to be worthy, and now, this woman was randomly giving her Blood away to someone who hadn’t even shown their potential yet.

Faustina couldn’t believe that Lilith did something so immature like this.

At the same time, she also blamed herself for sort of challenging that crazy woman. If she hadn’t challenged her to try and seduce Nux without tricking him, she wouldn’t have gone this far. Faustina believed that it was Lilith’s way of getting back at her.

‘That bitch…’

The Human Progenitor couldn’t help but curse in her head at the same time, she stared at her ‘son’ and passed half of the blame on him as well.

“You let a Progenitor trick you into betting with her?”

“She did not use any tricks, I simply accepted the bet.”

“You do realize that this is going to change you permanently, correct?”

“Nothing like that will happen.” Nux was confident.

Faustina, however, did not like that confident,

“So not only did you make a bet with a Progenitor, you also intend to come out on the winning side of the argument?”

Faustina then stared right into Nux’s soul and,

“Nux, are you looking down on us Progenitors?”

“I am not looking down on you people, Mother. I know how absurdly strong and inexplicably complex you all are.

And in my way of getting strong, I would never lose sight of my original goals. The Bloodline, Abilities, or Strength I have, all of these are mere tools.

Tools through which I will achieve my goal.

Lady Lilith would only be putting me in an illusion where I would live my life like usual for 10,000 years, she plans to let time teach me how ‘worthless’ relationships are but… she is simply going against the wrong person.

When it comes to the display of abilities, I have no doubt that Lady Lilith is exceptional, but I will not be going against Lady Lilith, I will be going against Time.

Let alone ten thousand, even a hundred thousand years wouldn’t make me throw away what I am working for throughout my life.

Mother, tools can be thrown away, goals cannot.

There is nothing Lady Lilith can do that would change the way I look at my wives. Getting involved with ‘flings’ with random women would be disrespectful to my wives who have devoted themselves to me.

I do not know about anything else, however, I am goddam hundred percent sure that nothing in this world would make me do something that would hurt my wives.”

Nux explained himself as he looked back into Faustina’s eyes, there were no doubts on his face the entire time he spoke, rather, the intense light that showed in his eyes was so strong that for an instant, even Faustina believed that maybe… maybe Lilith would be wasting her Blood for something entirely worthless.

Faustina knew, she knew just how foolish it was to even think about a mortal being able to defeat a Progenitor in her own game at that, however, the ‘mortal’ standing in front of her was different.

If it was him… then maybe… maybe a Progenitor would lose.

‘Heh.’

Faustina couldn’t help but imagine just what sort of expression that woman would make if she was defeated and the more she thought about it, the stronger her urges to see that come to reality became.

“How about I make this game even more interesting for you?”

Suddenly, Faustina suggested with a smile on her face.

“What do you mean?”

Nux tilted his head in confusion.

Faustina, on the other hand, smiled even more and continued,

“I still haven’t given you a gift for becoming my son, have I?”

The Human Progenitor questioned.

“You did give me that bracelet-“

“That thing cannot be considered a gift. Those old bastards would laugh at me if they learned that I gave that to you and call it a gift.” Faustina was quick to shake her hand in a dismissive manner.

“Anyways, I have been thinking about a perfect gift that would suit you for a while now, however, seeing how perfect you are, I was having difficulties with coming up with something that would be best for you.” The Progenitor continued.

Nux tilted his head with a strange look on his face, he knew he was about to get something so he stayed silent to let everything play out in his advantage. In some part of his head, however, he felt like he was simply using the woman in front of her.

He did call her ‘Mother’ but to be entirely honest, the only reason he did that was because he wanted to get close to the Progenitors. From the start, he never intended to take it seriously, however, seeing how much effort the woman was putting in for his sake… Nux could clearly feel Faustina’s care for him.

“Mother, I do not need any gifts, your presence here is enou-“

The greedy Nux, for once, was trying to put someone other than his wives or their relatives over profits, however, “You don’t get a say in that.”

He was instantly shot down by Faustina.

The Progenitor then continued,

“So as I was saying, I couldn’t come up with a suitable gift. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

Now, however, things are different.

I finally know what to give you.”

Nux couldn’t help but chuckle as he saw the excited look on Faustina’s face. The woman, for once, looked like a girl in her early 20s who was excited about revealing a secret that he had been keeping for a long while, and seeing that look on his mother’s face, Nux could feel a strange sense of attachment with her, “What is it?” Nux questioned in order to humor her.

“An Opportunity.” Faustina answered.

“An Opportunity?” Nux tilted his head in confusion and Faustina continued,

“I realized that the best gift I can give you is to do something for your wives you are so attached to. So let’s do this, I will gift you an opportunity to get something beneficial for your wives.”

“What do I have to do?” Nux, of course, reacted in an instant, and seeing that, Faustina chuckled as she continued, “If you stay true to your words and keep loving your wives the way you do now when you come out of Lilith’s Illusion, I will give Primordial Level Blood to all your wives who belong to the Human Race.”

“What…?”

Nux widened his eyes and disbelief, Faustina, however, wasn’t done yet.

“I will even give my own Blood to one I think is the most suitable for it.”

Nux stared at his mother with a dumbfounded look on his face, the entire time, his mouth was wide open.

Satisfied by his reaction, Faustina chuckled and,

“Of course, that is only if you defeat Lilith in her game.”

“Consider it done.”

Nux replied with a confident smile on his face.

First Lilith and now his mother, he didn’t think he would be getting so much out of such a simple bet.
