Luck is a Charm

Chapter 207: Eleanor’s Dilemma (III)

Eleanor trembled in fear as she kept shaking with Zen holding her back softly.

'It's just some barrage of magic spells without any substances, I guess Eleanor is just a normal woman after all.' Zen chuckled softly as he glanced at those magic spells that were coming rapidly at them.

Meanwhile, Noel Pelora paled as he quickly realized what happened.

"You fool, what happens if your spell damages my Eleanor?" Noel Pelora kicked a mage in the stomach as he roared in anger.

Alas, Noel Pelora could only scream in panic as he witnessed the spell collapse onto Zen and Eleanor.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" 

Noel Pelora started having snot in his nose as he cried tearfully when he thought Eleanor was dead given the number of spells fired toward them.

"Man, luckily those spells were blocked otherwise, I'm going to stain my clothes with dirt again." 

While Noel Pelora was on the ground mourning, a voice suddenly echoed and as the dust slowly scattered away, Zen was calmly embracing Eleanor without any hint of damage.

"H-How is this possible?" Noel Pelora held a gawking expression when he saw there were zero scratches on their body.

Afterward, he turned toward his mages and was dumbfounded to see their expression was the same as him.

"You don't have to hold me this tightly, Eleanor." Zen patted her back softly as he reassured her that everything is fine.

And he continued, "If you keep embracing me like this with that soft chest of yours, then I might not be able to control my lust on pouncing toward you."

Zen tried to joke around to ease the tension around Eleanor but little did he expect, Eleanor continued to hug him tighter after his remark.

"Let me stay like this for a while," Eleanor placed her head on his shoulder and whispered softly.

Zen smiled bitterly as he was basically being restrained by her movement, causing him to be unable to move smoothly.

Meanwhile, Noel Pelora gritted his teeth in anger as not only did he think Eleanor was dead and tried to mourn for her but she was alive and flirting with another man.

"You-" Noel Pelora pointed his finger at Zen and soon foam started appearing in his mouth as he couldn't handle the cold truth.

THUMP!

Noel Pelora dropped down to the ground, unconscious with his eyes closed.

The mages that were with Noel Pelora panicked and quickly rushed to his side and started casting healing magic for him.

"Young master, what happened to him?" A mage screamed in panic as they would be thoroughly punished by the patriarch if anything were to happen to Noel Pelora.

"Young master merely fainted from anger and disbelief. We just need to cast some calming magic and the young master will wake up." Another mage added when he finished checking his pulse.

While this scene was occurring, Zen was rendered speechless since he didn't get to make a move again before his opponent fainted.

"..."

Zen tried to move forward but since Eleanor was clinging onto him like a leech, he decided to lift her upward and started carrying her.

Eleanor yelped in surprise before wrapping her legs around his back as she smiled blissfully. 'This couldn't be any better than I initially planned.'

A few moments later, when the mage finally saw Zen's movement, they quickly raised their guard up and yelled, "Stop, this is the young master from the Pelora family. If you even dared to harm him slightly then there's no place for you left in this Jade Kingdom."

The mage tried to warn Zen but didn't dare to do any rash action such as attacking him in surprise because they doubted it would do anything.

After all, Zen managed to deflect a barrage of magic spells and the amazing part was, they couldn't even see nor detect his movement in doing so.

Zen ignored the mage warning as he glared coldly at them. 

"Move aside or don't blame me for being ruthless in murdering a few more people in my list," Zen warned them kindly as he activated his essence flame.

The essence flame came out and soon started swirling around Zen, causing the temperature to drastically increase as the mages felt their body started becoming heated.

As Zen continued to take a step forward, the mages took a step back with a pale expression. They were frightened by the aura emitting from Zen and they held a feeling that if they dared to block his steps then they would be burned into a crisp by the essence flame.

Zen stopped his movement right in front of Noel Pelora before dropping Eleanor down on the ground softly.

Afterward, he held Eleanor's hand to calm her down, "Was this fat pig the one that kept bullying you and wanted to sell you to a sex slave merchant after violating you?"

Eleanor nodded her head slowly and said, "Mhmm, he went to the Palace Moon Restaurant once and saw me doing my work as a receptionist. Ever since then, he has been bugging me and asking me to spread my legs for him."

And she continued, "Thankfully we were still in the restaurant and Madam Evie's presence was there to prevent him from acting further. However, he has sent spies to track me down and has been threatening me after finding out about my house."

Zen nodded his head slowly as he heard enough reason to finish off Noel Pelora.

Zen started controlling his essence flame as he prepared to fire it toward Noel Pelora.

However, a person suddenly appeared in front of him, causing Zen to widen his eyes on this familiar yet deja vu scene.

Zen stared at the woman in front of him with a nonchalant expression as he wasn't going to be like last time and let the culprit off.

"Morgan Pelora, please move aside otherwise, don't blame me for not being merciful toward you," Zen asked her calmly as he continued to increase the temperature with his essence flame.
