âThis would make killing him much easier.â Jennifer had thought with joy blooming in her heart.
The bloodline flowing through her veins failed to create any sort of feelings within her for RakâTharos as it should have. Her anger and hatred towards RakâTharos still burned as brightly as ever, completely undimmed!
In fact, one of the reasons why RakâTharos was willing to grant her his power was because he thought that by evolving using his blood, Jennifer would become influenced by the power of his blood and would become more obedient to him.
Jenniferâs meekness for the past few days had seemed to confirm this fact for him.
He couldnât have imagined, not even in his wildest nightmares, that the opposite was true, and that HE was the one growing feelings for Jennifer and becoming more obedient to her!
âYes, I am an Elemental Scaled Feline. I thought that you were initially a Golden Lioness Overlord, but the manifestations of your energy blades⦠No Golden Lioness Overlord ever had blades growing out of them. So you canât possibly be a mere Golden Lioness Overlord. You must be an Elemental Scaled Feline like me!
Your evolutionary lottery luck is extremely, extremely good! Wahaha!
But your energies seem to be slightly different. You had a trace of dark energy in addition to the Gold and Fire energy you got from me. It must be your innate energy. Thatâs why your energy blades can turn black, and can deal so much damage.
Heck, if youâre at Emperor level like me, I definitely couldnât block your attacks! Thank goodness that youâre⦠Hohoho.
Anyway, you and your siblings are truly a marvel of nature. First your brother, then your sister who got into that weekly update. And now⦠you. Even I am slightly jealous. If my my clan members were as crazy as you three⦠We would definitely be able to resist that attack from the Void Walkersâ¦â RakâTharos sighed.
Jenniferâs heart turned very, very cold at his words.
If she hadnât gotten lucky and somehow activated the ancient bloodline⦠Then she would have fallen straight for RakâTharosâ plot! She would have gained his strength but lost her objective will⦠She would have become his slave in all but name!
âToo bad for you, my fate wills that I trample all over yours after sucking you completely dry.â Jennifer thought with fierce satisfaction. âI will make sure you die a horrible death in pain and in regret!â
âAnyway, itâs time for lunch. Do you plan on cooking for us today?â RakâTharos asked Jennifer.
She was about to fiercely say no, when she remembered that she had to put up an act of being suppressed by his bloodline in front of him.
So she merely smiled weakly and nodded.
âGood! I am hungry! Letâs cook and then eat!â RakâTharos commanded, totally oblivious to the fact that he had placed the topic of lunch completely under Jenniferâs will mere seconds ago.
However, before they could take a single step towards their camp, RakâTharos suddenly stopped.
He frowned lightly and turned to stare at towards the West, where Elliot was making his way towards them.
His lips curled into a satisfied smile.
âI should have known better. If his sister could make such incredible progress, then of course he would be equally good, if not even better than her!â RakâTharos said with a gleam of excitement flashing in briefly in his eyes.
Jennifer looked at the direction RakâTharos was looking at and immediately understood the situation. An indescribable wave of joy flooded her heart!
âMy big bro⦠He is coming for me!â Jennifer clenched her fist tightly and tears began to fill her eyes.
âHohoho. He seemed to have found some sort of high speed transport. At the insane rate heâs traveling⦠he should be here within two hours! Impressive. Very impressive. The three of you are simply perfect. You three will help me make the Void Walkers pay for what they had done to my clan and my family! Wahahaha!â RakâTharos cackled maniacally!
Jennifer ignored RakâTharos and sat down serenely to recover the energy that she had expended in the morning training session that had just ended.
When her big bro arrives, she would make sure that she help him in any way possible to make the rescue operation a success!
RakâTharos glanced at Jennifer and understood her intention. However, he didnât do anything to restrict her. In fact, he even smiled sinisterly at the serene look on her face.
The growing meekness in Jenniferâs attitude in recent days had completely assured him that she was slowly but surely turning subservient to his will. Although he couldnât detect her presence as he could with other weaker bloodlines within his clan, he attributed that fact to the innate dark energy within her thatâs shielding her from his senses.
In RakâTharosâ heart, Jennifer was already his!
Jenniferâs acting was perfect and her deception, complete.
âVery soon, you will understand the power of bloodline suppression, little girl. My bloodline within you will force you to obey me. And you will help me break your brother by bringing complete despair into his heart⦠When you kill your sister in front of him!â RakâTharos crazy mind began to whirr at full speed and his excitement grew at the thought of breaking that little family of three once more.
He had thought of including Jessica in his plans as well. But when he thought of how crazy Elliot would go at losing Jessica for the second time, his heart couldnât help but to immediately jump at the idea.
And so his final plan took form, and in it was one broken hearted brother serving him for the hope of freeing his single living sister who, due to the bloodline flowing within her, didnât have any desire to be freed in the first place.
It was perfect.
