Conquering The Novel-Chapter 62 Three Obedient Slaves!

Following the gladiatorial battleground, many reporters surrounded Silvia for the interview, but Silvia, who is used to dealing with such situations, made a way for us easily.

And soon after, we arrived at the hospital, which is also owned by the merchant association; the hospital was only a block away from the stadium, and Meira's injuries were been healed there.

"I understand why you wanted to spare Meira, but what's the deal with that guy?" Silvia asked me a question while pointing her index finger toward a person with a distorted expression.

"Well, I think he'll be useful as well," I replied, looking at the person Silvia had pointed out.

The man has red hair, black eyes, an unshaven beard, and a well-built body.

Yeah, It was that 'Warrior Howkins guy.

"Sure, go ahead and do whatever you want. I'll go arrange the slave transfer scrolls until then" Silvia stated and phoned someone.

"Do we really have to make them slaves—" but even before I finish, Silvia cut my sentence short and spoke.

"That's not going to happen! Because they are both people who have betrayed those who have fed them. And I won't let them be near you unless they sign the slave contract "Silvia stated firmly, as if she didn't want to hear the word "No."

"Huh? Has this scoundrel betrayed anyone else before?" I inquired, my gaze fixed on Howkins.

As Howkins felt my stare, he diverted his gaze, tilted his head sideways, and began whistling.

"This Bastard!" When I saw his demeanor, I cursed him inwardly, and veins on my forehead erupted in annoyance, I was already regretting sparing his life.

"Why don't you question him about it yourself? I'll have to go and prepare the slave scrolls myself until then," Silvia said as she hurriedly left.

Despite being overburdened by dealing with the aftermath of Mika and Tania's battle, she was still determined to assist me happily in any way she could.

Seeing her departing figure, a small smile erupted on my face.

I shook my head, got out of my thoughts, and inquired of Howkins.

"Why don't you explain to me how you ended up becoming a gladiator?"

"I have no regrets about anything I did, and I believe what I did was the only right thing to do." He said, before beginning his explanation...

And he went on for quite a bit with his tales...

To summarise what he told me, Howkins was previously a knight, was married, and had a two-year-old daughter.

However, when the Noble lord he served attempted to seduce his wife, he killed him by chopping him into pieces.

And that is how he ended up becoming a gladiator. Of course, he said many more things, but I ignored the little details.

"What happened to your wife and daughter now?" I asked.

"I'm not sure what happened to them because they weren't permitted to meet me since I had become a gladiator, and I don't think they even know if I'm still alive or not," Howkins said dejectedly.

"Because you were a well-known gladiator, your family may have heard about you as well, or your wife may also have seen some of your battles on the internet." I attempted to reassure him.

But the fact is, if I were in his situation, I would have done the same... No, I would have wiped out that noble bastard's entire family lineage.

I may appear ridiculous right now, but before I met "Her" I was a crazy bastard.

In my previous life, I was as well quite attractive and dated numerous women, but they all left me as soon as they discovered my true nature, except for one who stuck with me till the end and eventually died for me.

Simply put, I was not the strongest, but I was described as a cunning, manipulative, and possessive bastard.

...And I am not as stupid as Aegis portrays me; I knew Livia liked me from the moment she kissed me and by observing her behavior toward me.

But I couldn't understand why she liked me, because no one in their right mind would love someone who had just beaten the crap out of them the day before, right? Or, Is she an M?

"...." 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

The day Aegis confirmed that she is nothing more than a Crazy Yandere girl... I didn't know what to say, as I have never met a yandere girl before and only read about them in the novels, so I still don't know how to deal with them.

And I knew Mika was crazy, but I used to think Mika was merely a crazy overprotective master and not the way Aegis described her feelings.

But now that as well I've met Silvia, who is also insane in her own way...

I had a feeling that something is wrong with this world,...or am I the only one that encounters insane people just like me?

Ding!-

As I was pondering, a quick flashback to my previous crazy self emerged in my head before abruptly fading away.

Ding!-

Because the unexpected notification sounds jolted me awake.

Ding!-

I exhaled and tried to relax.

Ding!-

But the constant notification noises irritated me, so I summoned the system to find out what was going on.

And then I observed something strange...

<strong>*****SYSTEM UPDATE AVAILABLE******</strong>

DO YOU WISH TO UPDATE THE SYSTEM: Y/N

of course, I chose yes.

And soon after that, it changed to,

<strong>SYSTEM UPDATING</strong> PLEASE WAIT PATIENTLY...

I'm not sure what this is because I've never heard of any system changes before.

Similarly, I'm not sure what new functionality will be available after the update.

'Well, I guess I'll just have to wait until it's updated,' I reasoned.

Silvia arrived in front of me as I was thinking to myself, I didn't notice her presence since I was lost in my thoughts.

She then handed the slave scroll to Howkins, who signed it without a single complaint, because Silvia didn't give him much of a choice.

"You either sign the slave contract or I'm going to kill you, right here, right now," Silvia stated as much.

"It may not be so easy to get Meira to sign the slave contract, as she may want to die rather than be your slave,...as how you beat her to a pulp,"

Silvia abruptly ceased after saying much, but she was determined to finish off Meira if she declined my offer.

And I won't be able to do anything as well if she chooses to die instead.

***

"I accept," Meira said instantly, even before I finished explaining.

"...."

"...."

Howkins and Silvia were both taken aback by how effortlessly she accepted my offer.

"If what you promised me is true, and since you already know about my past, which only I know, I am assuming what you stated is true."

"Of course, everything I said is accurate," I said, smiling.

"Even if you're a devil who enjoys torturing girls, I'll take your offer," Meira said and accepted my offer.

Although I'm not sure why, but I believe she misinterpreted something and believes that I have some strange fetishes.

"...."

"Pftt- hahaha" and Irethiel abruptly started laughing.

I ignored Irethiel's laughter, and Meira quickly signed the slave contract as well.

And with this, I obtained three devoted slaves. Unbeknownst to me, I had a large grin on my face.

"I'm still curious, how she accepted your offer so easily," Irethiel inquired telepathically once she had finally stopped laughing.

"Actually, it wasn't a big deal. It is extremely simple to control a people's emotions when they are unable to achieve something on their own, and ultimately when they find someone throwing them a rope, no matter how small the rope is, they will want to hold it and believe that it is their last hope." I explained.

"Yep, another one bites the dust." Irethiel made a remark after hearing Ares's cunning statement.

"You'll have to work harder from now on, Irethiel; you've got company. If you don't work hard, they might replace you as my top slave "I remarked sarcastically.

"...."

"Don't compare me to those halfwits, they're at least a thousand years younger to be compared to me, and I'll always be your top Slave-" she halted and spoke stutteringly at a startling realization.

"W-Wait! W-What makes you think I'd want to be your top Slave?"

Hearing Irethiel's perplexed voice, I suppressed my chuckle.

'Poor Irethiel, you'll learn to embrace your new reality soon,' I thought to myself inwardly.
