The Conquerors Path

Chapter 723: Chapter 724-Time To Make Some Changes.

ʼFuck me sideways, whatʼs this sudden bullshit?ʼ

I asked myself, but more towards the system, which easily replied.

[Letʼs just say these are some of the consequences of getting you into this world. Why? Did you think actions wouldnʼt have consequences?]

My mind started to work in overdrive from that information. The fact that this beautiful girl, who seemed like an easy catch, had turned into something like this was blowing my mind in different ways. Of course, I never thought that situations wouldnʼt get out of my control. Heck, I lived my whole life here thinking that things wouldnʼt ever go under my control.

ʼBut this is a whole other ball game.ʼ

Even the read function didnʼt give off any information that I could use-no info about what happened to her, the future she came from, her behavior patterns, or any kind of past actions I could take advantage of. Thereʼs not much I can use.

ʼThough there are some hints I see.ʼ

The markings in the special descriptions show that whatever future she is coming from, it isnʼt a good one. The notifications of trauma point towards some kind of weaknesses that I might be able to use, the only problem being that I have no idea what kind of trauma it is and, even worse, the fact that I might be involved in it.

ʼWhat kind of future was it?ʼ

Thatʼs the main thing I wanted to know. Depending on that, my actions would change in a lot of ways, with the worst being the fact of whether she is an enemy of mine or not. If she even has any inkling of what kind of person I really am or what kind of things I have done, then I would have no other choice than to eliminate her. And trust me, I have a lot of ways to eliminate her.

ʼBut I donʼt want to jump into any kind of theories now. For now, I will watch and then I will strike.ʼ

But even above that remain a lot of issues for me to still cover through. There exist two more regressors out there for me to deal with, and God knows what kind of shitstorm they would try to raise up. This one is a girl, but if the others arenʼt, then it would be another protagonist that I would have to deal with in a sense.

ʼThe knowledge of the future is, after all, an extremely powerful tool at hand.ʼ

While I mused on this thought, a system message ran out in front of me.

ʼUrgh...looks like I will have to make changes to my plans...again.ʼ

Though as my mind ran at super speed, the scenes in front of me played out naturally as Carmel softly raised her sisterʼs neck to make her drink the antidote. It slowly went down her throat as Carmel soon placed Tria back on the bed once the solution was ingested.

”How long will it take for the effects to be seen?”

Carmel asked in a worried tone as she turned to look at me, to which I, trying to put on a smile, spoke.

”Not much; you will be able to see the results within a few minutes.”

To my reply, she let out a sigh as Carmel focused back on Tria. So did I, as within a few minutes the effects started to take place. The black lines running over her started to settle down as I felt the final embers of her regression settle down too. With a not-so-calm gaze, I watched as the stunning beauty of Tria started to return to her, one that overshadowed many beauties.

Her expression started to relax as it turned calm and peaceful, her body regaining its healthy glow as low, calm breaths started to leave the nose of Tria. Her peaceful expression made Carmel relax as she turned to me and hugged me tight.

”Thank you, Austin, thank you for this...”

Carmel spoke in a moved tone as she kept hugging me tight. I, too, hugged her back as I spoke. ”Nonsense, what else is family for?”

ʼUrggh...thatʼs too tight!ʼ

With the hug getting a bit too tight at my reply, Carmel, who was too moved right now to fully react, turned her head back as she heard the sound of the sheets on the bed ruffle. My attention was still the same as I watched the little beauty open her eyes, those eyes being a beautiful grey orb with little sparks flying around in them.

ʼUm...a change in eye color, huh...ʼ

As I mused, Carmel quickly let go of me and ran up to her sister, kneeling down near her bed as Carmel asked out.

”Little Tri, are you okay?!”

Her worry in her tone as Tria slowly started to sit on the bed with Carmel holding her hand, an expression of pure confusion filling her face as Tria, with a whole lot of confusion, asked out.

”Sister...you are alive?”

Her astonishment in her voice as Tria asked the question, even making Carmel confused as she looked at her sister, to which Tria, still feeling a lot overwhelmed, spoke out to no one.

”Is this real? Was it true? Is there another chance?”

ʼLooks like itʼs my time to strike.ʼ

With such thoughts, I took a step forward as I asked.

”Her mind could be mixed up right now.”

My voice caught my attention as the girls turned towards me. During that time, I used 100% of my focus on Triaʼs face as it met mine, her expression turning to one purely curious and confused, which made my heart feel a sense of relaxation at the moment.

ʼGood, looks like we donʼt know each other even into the future.ʼ

The only time you will be able to get the true greatest emotion from a regressor is when they are at their first awakening. After that, their emotions would be so controlled that they would smile at you with their biggest smile even if they were planning to kill you next.

ʼGuess this is something.ʼ

”Go quickly, get the imperial healer!”

Carmel shouted out to the maid who, with a quick bow, left the room. After which, Carmel

focused back on Tria and spoke with a light voice.

”Itʼs me, little Tri. I am so happy to see you all right now.”

To this, small tears quickly started to fall from the eyes of Tria as she lunged to hug her sister, my presence being fully lost as Tria shouted out.

”I will definitely save you this time!”

That slow whisper was lost within the two sistersʼ connection, but in the audience, surely

caught on to the wording of it.

ʼLooks like I have a lot to uncover.ʼ

I thought as I gazed at the heartwarming scene of the two sisters hugging each other and crying out, my mind like the predator I am thinking of ways I could use this to my advantage. I know better now that to get this into my grasp, I will need to put more back into it.

ʼBut this time I have full authority over it.ʼ

The task in front of me right now isnʼt to seduce them, so if itʼs not possible, I will just take this revived regressor out.
