The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 918: Dinner With The Ross Great Family

The dinner was as grand as it could be, fitting for a great family.

Everyone, especially Klaus, made sure the food served to him wasn’t wasted. The Ross family made sure he was welcomed, just as the Hiroshi family had.

During the dinner, Klaus got to know more about Lucy and Anna’s brothers.

The oldest is called Max.

He handles affairs in the northern region of Ross City. He holds the most essential job for the northern part of the city, which is closer to Sunlight Forest, where Klaus first went on his hunt after awakening his class.

Max’s job is to ensure that monster tides are handled and that occasional rescue missions are carried out effectively. He also liaises with the army to handle some important missions relating to the Ross family.

He is a Transcendent currently sitting at the 6th level. Klaus’s quick scan revealed that he wasn’t as strong as someone of his cultivation level should be.

However, he has an archer class, so Klaus knew that after taking his blood and imparting a few skills and techniques, he would become much more powerful, enabling him to protect himself and his family in the future.

The second brother is called Luke, the caretaker of the southern region. He is the most handsome among them and perhaps the most spoiled of all the kids.

However, Klaus could tell that while he looked more cheerful and perhaps more easygoing, he was the most dangerous among the siblings, including Lucy and Anna.

Of course, as a level 1 Transcendent, he stood no chance against either of his two sisters.

However, the aura around him was one Klaus felt on Lady Cynthia, and considering Luke is also an assassin, it wasn’t hard to know that mother and son had been sneaking away at night to handle their business.

Klaus actually found interest in Luke and planned to turn him into a dangerous dagger that would play a major role in his future plans.

The last brother is called Nas. He is more like a scholar, and judging by his class, Klaus knew it would be hard for him to become a warrior.

However, that is also the reason Klaus knew he had found the perfect specimen to try something that Fruity had discovered many years ago.

Back during the Renegade Era, Fruity met a demon who, instead of fighting with his sword or any other weapon—even spells—only played chess.

In a way, the chessboard was the battlefield to him, and the chess pieces were the weapons he wielded. He fought with that demon, but it ended in a draw.

Klaus didn’t know how any of it was possible, but he knew for sure it had something to do with discipline, something only scholars have.

Klaus had seen many demons, but it was his first time meeting a disciple demon. And from the way that demon behaved, Klaus knew he could never pull it off despite being a monk back then.

Now looking at Nas, Klaus could, in a way, see the demon he eventually became friends with, even saving him once when Fruity was on the run from the Celestial Alliance.

’The last time I saw Senka, he was on his way to the Tormented World to have his tribulation and become a True Immortal. Then later, he planned to enter an eternal sleep for 100,000 years.

If he succeeds in becoming a True Immortal and finally stirs from his sleep, I am sure he will go to the Forbidden Universe to retrieve the Forbidden Chessboard.

He was obsessed with that when I helped him retrieve the map. So I am sure he will go there...

This means he will leave his own Chessboard in the Tormented World,’ Klaus said inwardly, taking a sip of his fruit juice and setting the cup down.

’I guess after the awakening, I will look for a way to visit the Tormented World and retrieve the chessboard for Nas and see if I can also get some much-needed understanding from it.

But until then, I will create one for him using the Paragon forge based on my understanding of how Senka cultivated his chessboard.’

So far, Klaus wasn’t disappointed in the three brothers of the Ross family.

They all had something to give, and for that, he knew they would keep Anna and Lucy’s family safe, giving the two sisters the chance to grow in peace.

’Just as Lord Ross will one day become a pivotal figure in handling the politics of Earth after the awakening, when discovered by the rest of the universe, Max will also stand by him and do the same.

As for Luke, he and his mother will be my secret weapons disguised as normal people. Then there is Nas, who, if things work out, will become the great defender of Earth while I and the Paragon Force are away.

Senka was one of the most dangerous opponents I faced, and if I can make Nas even half of what Senka was, then I won’t have to worry too much about Earth in my absence.’

Klaus spent the rest of the dinner making sure he got a good read on everyone. Then, after dinner, he got down to business.

”Now that we are done with dinner, why don’t we get down to the main reason I am here? Of course, one reason is to make you all aware I have taken the two flowers as my wives,” Klaus smiled.

”Not that it wasn’t obvious, but my uncle monk told me I should do this since it is customary, and since I’m one who likes to do things right, here I am.

However, while that is important, ensuring my in-laws are safe from harm is my utmost priority.

I am here to give you something that, from today on, will empower you to face any danger without feeling weak.

However, there is a catch to this method I have in mind. It comes with a cost. As for the catch, I will leave Lucy and Anna to handle that discussion.

Tomorrow morning, I will visit Nadia’s family. You can use that time to consider my offer, and if you accept, I will be delighted to provide you with this life-changing treasure.”

The Ross family nodded to Klaus’s words.

Looking at Lucy and Anna, they knew this would indeed require some family time to discuss and, if possible, consider the pros and cons.

Klaus also wanted to think of what else to give them after his blood, since he knew that coming back to Ross City after this vacation would be very hard.

”We will give you an answer when you return from Nadia’s family tomorrow,” Lord Ross said, and Klaus nodded in agreement.

A few minutes later, Klaus and his wives retired to the mansion provided to them. Everyone had their own room, but Klaus knew he wouldn’t be spending the night alone.

The ladies had already created a roster for the vacation. So far, Lulu, Aoi, Lunara, Queenie, and Ohema had already had their freaky time.

Now, it was Lucy and her sister Anna’s turn to handle their man, and so a few minutes after entering his room, the two beauties appeared, rocking the lingerie they bought back in Hiroshi City.
