Re: Player-Chapter 159: [The Art of Bullshitting!]

While most things calmed down, it was still stirred water that needed some time to become a calm pond.

Wesker asked Risa to help him, calling all the people back to the city. He talked with Nvida and Trisha to bring the elves to the forest and wait for his signal. And as for the dark mages, Yemir said that he would call them off from the city.

That left only the witches, of whom, other than Rosalyn, everyone decided to go back. Rosalyn said that she had something to do with me, Adam. And since I didn't mind that, I asked her to stay close to Leena and Anna.

Another witch, Raven, whom I helped during the entire 'play battle,' came towards the three of us.

" I do not know which one of you helped me out. But thank you. If you ever come to the witch's town, then please visit my home. It's the Sister Rosalyn's orphanage. You are always welcome there," she spoke before bowing to us and then leaving with the rest of the witches.

" Hey! Dark Mage!" One of the witches, Tia, called out to Morpheus, making him look at her.

" The witches always welcome handsome guys. You can 'come' as much as you want," she winked before leaving from there while the rest of the witches laughed and moved on with her.

" Master. Why are they laughing?" Anna asked with a curious expression as she looked at Wesker.

" Women tend to be like that when they get old," Wesker smiled at Anna, making her a bit worried as she looked at him with puppy eyes.

" Will I also become like that?" She asked with an innocent expression.

Looking at those scared puppy eyes, we almost melted before Wesker spoke.

" Don't worry. I will keep you young for as long as you want."

Good Job, me.

Though these words had a different reaction for everyone else as they looked at Wesker with a rather concentrated eyes. Including the 2nd Order, Irene Campbell.

After that we spent the time by mobilizing the masses back to the city, forest and the underground market.

The idea was to make everyone pretend nothing had happened in the past few minutes, though that was kinda impossible, so we had to make do with what we can right now.

I mean, I kind of wanted this news to spread out, attracting attention. Would be helpful when I would be expanding into a big city and later create my own kingdom.

'Would also be nice because I won't need to go to different places to make connections. People themselves would come here, meeting Wesker, trying to kiss up to him.'

I knew this was just the start and this event would be carried over for a long time in the future.

And just like that, everyone went back to the city, silently pretending nothing happened on the surface, meanwhile making their own decisions within their groups and families.

Some will move out of the city, others will call more of the people here. Some will change the way they live, others will keep on doing what they were doing.

It was certainly a good thing that nobody had done anything wrong against Wesker and Morpheus, so everyone had a fair chance to approach them without worrying about the backlash.

And just like that, about an hour passed before we found ourselves at a large round table within the duke's mansion.

On the chairs seated were Risa Thompson, Wesker, Morpheus, Leena, Anna, Rosalyn and me, Adam.

" I am the duke from today onwards," Wesker spoke as I planned before.

" …" Risa looked at Wesker while he continued," but I won't do any of the work. I will be the duke on papers only. Everything would be under your control while I keep working in the shop at the corner."

" Am I going to be your puppet?" Risa asked with an exasperated sigh.

" He is a bastard, but he does nothing that our leader hasn't mentioned. And all our leader wants is to protect this city through thick and thin. After all, it was once his hometown," I spoke garble like usual, making them widen their eyes.

Bullshitting is an art.

Everyone seemed genuinely surprised as they looked at me.

" And who is your leader?" Irene Campbell, who was standing on the balcony outside, asked as she looked at us.

" Can't even wait for your turn?" I laughed as I looked at her before patting on my thigh, signaling her to sit. MVLeMpYr-novel-source

" Come and I might give you a hint," I joked, trying to irk her.

But on the contrary, she sauntered towards me, swaying her hips, making me gulp a little, and then reaching up to me.

" You sure you won't lie to me? I can find out. And this mommy's punishment isn't something that you can take," she smirked as she looked at me.

I wanted to change the direction of my finger from my thighs to my face, but alas, it was too late. Anyway, I smiled back as I spoke,

" The Brothers of Salvation will never go back on their words."

Hearing my words, her smile widened as she slowly took a seat on my thighs, got her arms around my neck, and brought her lips closer to my ears as she asked,

" So. Who is he?"

Man, I was really hard.

My clones, Morpheus and Wesker, were looking at me with a sigh as they shook their heads before covering the eyes of Leena and Anna. While Rosalyn and Risa kept observing. Not at the act, but on the words that I was about to speak.

" It's more of a hint than an information. Our leader is one of the 10 chosen Fate Weavers that will decide the end of this world," I spoke like a love struck boy, as I observed her, making her smile a lot.

" Mommy is happy," she spoke before looking at Adam and continuing,

" Can you at least tell me how strong your leader is? In case we end up going against a God or something."

I gladly smiled as I answered.

" At his full power, where he doesn't hold back. Only the creators of this world could hold him down. And trust me, Gods… he can kill half a dozen of them, if he is really serious."

My smile, that seemed innocent, now seemed rather deadly as Irene looked at me with her expression turning serious as well.

" Gods aren't to be taken lightly, Adam." Irene spoke with a serious expression.

" Are they? Last time I fought with 2 at once, and they couldn't scratch me. Both of them are as strong as Freya or Zora, if you want a close comparison of their powers and abilities." And I smiled innocently as the room fell rather silent once again.
