Chapter 37: Give-and-take
Chapter 37: Give-and-take
"Everyone look there! That building is on fire!"
Outlaws encompassing the building sped towards it and players with Water and ice attributes came forward to put off the fire while Nix took it as an advantage and mixed with the crowd and walked out of that damned vicinity for good.
'Now what should I do? What the fuck should I do now?'
He began wandering through the lanes and streets with a burdened heart filled with guilt while feeling the burning sensation of the still-burning Chain which was attached to him like a curse.
'I killed innocent people...'
Feeling regret and sorrow he continued to wander around and finally stood before the pretty lady's pub.
'I don't have anything with me! I don't have a place to go to. What the hell am I doing? Why did I end up like this?'
When he stepped inside the pub and it looked lively as ever with men and waitresses bustling. Nix walked in without giving a fuck about the terrible shape he was in. Others in the pub were gawking at Nix as his armor had cracks and tainted with blood while bleeding. He walked towards a table in a corner and sat.
Felishia observed Nix from a corner. Nix's eyes had tears welled up and his face had a grim facial reaction and he was restless.
'Hmm, You have arrived?... The one who possesses the unattainable energy.'
Her lips curved up into a smile. She began pacing towards Nix's table and sat next to him. Nix didn't give her any attention and kept on gazing at the flower vase which was placed in the center of the table.
"Hello! fufu I thought you were dead. I am glad that you are still alive."
" "
Nix didn't reply; he continued to remain silent.
"Hello? Do you want to order something?"
" "
Nix averted his eyes from the flower vase and locked his on Felishia's eyes and replied with a low voice.
"No, I don't want anything... I don't know why I came here."
It was clear he went there because the only person he knew was there.
"Now that I think about it you are giving out a negative vibe and you look nasty. what happened to the mission you went on? I heard everyone died."
Nix began speaking with an emotionless face.
"They were killed by regulars and opportunely I escaped."
Felishia furrowed her brows.
"Uhmm Something doesn't sit right. I mean, what happened to the goods? and what took you so long to return?"
Nix responded with a cold tone.
"Felishia those are none of your business please check on other customers and let me be alone."
Felishia smirked and tapped the table.
"Hello, what was your name again? Hmm Nix! Right? Nix look at me"
She locked her eyes with his and continued.
"It's okay to speak out and lessen the burden... Hmm, wait here!"
She got up from her seat and went away and returned with a bottle of drink and two glasses.
She slowly poured it inside the glass and passed it to Nix.
"Here drink this."
"I don't want to."
"Sike! it's on me so drink up."
" "
She insisted on Nix since he didn't comply with her. So,she forcefully made him drink.
"hah, So, tell me what's your problem? What happened to you? You don't seem to be alright."
He began explaining everything that happened to him with regret and Felishia quietly listened to his story like she already knew everything that happened to him. He was terrible in need to speak so, he didn't care who she was. It was like he wasn't in his right mind and he felt like he was enchanted by her. Maybe hypnotism? If that was the case Truth eye would have defended him. Perhaps the rank of her ability might be high. No, It can be because of the alcohol!
"So, what is your plan Next? I don't think any clan would let you wander in this city alive. You have gone through a mission and everybody who came with you died and you burned up a business center and killed their works and their merchandise so, It makes you an ideal 'target'."
She pressed the word target to get it into his mind and continued.
"The clan which governs the city will come for your head as the clans who suffered losses will request to. And to subside any uproar or revolution that may happen because of an irregular individual like you. They will come to you. In fact, they will be searching and will be tracking you now!"
"Fuck my life"
Nix mumbled.
"Fufu It is alright, stay at my place for the night."
He just silently scanned her voluptuous body.
"Fufu what happened? You seem hesitant.... do you feel bad about staying in my place?"
'I'd fuck her.'
As much as his thought was dirty. He was dirty as hell. She wantingly approached him. Then why can't he accept it?
"Nope"
"Good then let's get going"
"Uhm your shift is finished?"
"yes"
She rose from her seat and Nix followed her. They both walked side by side while chatting and arrived before an inn that looked quite luxurious compared to the steel armor inn.
She walked up the staircase to the second floor and endeavored towards her room and opened it. A massive room with a bed and it had some painting portraits on its wall and there was a chandelier on the ceiling. The walls were painted in bright color and there was a locker for storage in the corner of the room.
"So, do you find it comfortable here?"
"Yes"
Felisha showered and dressed up with a robe for the night while Nix just laid on the bed and closed his eyes. Felishia laid beside him.
"This is your first time sleeping beside a woman?"
Nix opened his eyes and looked at Felisha with surprise.
"No, but yes...Assume whatever you want to." He said casually.
"Fufu you are easy to read. So, Wanna have fun tonight with me?."
" "
"Look at me!"
Nix gazed at her and gave a hard gulp. she was so alluring that he felt like he was losing control of his body.
Felishia began speaking.
"I know you suffered so much you don't have to carry all the burden you can share anything and everything with me I will be there for you."
'What? Why would someone who barely knows me would spout things like this?'
Nix became startled and rose from the bed and began sweating. She rose from her place too.
"Fufu relax! I won't devour or eat you."

'All of a sudden?Re? Witch? Am I getting clues or something from Nova manifestation? Her particularities are good and her state of mind is also good. Can believe her I think?..'
With multiple questions in his mind, he opened his mouth.
"Who are you?"
She smiled and began speaking.
"Nix answer me this! You don't like me or do you fear the unknown? You seek power, right? I will help you but, you need to help me too. And what I said was true. I really like you!"
and continued.
"When I saw you kill those slaves and when I saw your tendencies during the siege in Ranrak and the fight in the forest I strangely began liking you."
" "
He knitted his brows.
'How did she know those things, so she knew about me all this time?'
Nix stood there flabbergasted she was a powerful woman and more importantly she was attractive which made him unable to resist.
"I agree with the siege but I don't find anything that happened to make you feel attracted to me from the Forest incident. I was fucking abused there for goddamn sake and you didn't even try to help me plus what the fuck with slave incident."
"I am sorry, But I didn't have the capabilities to reach out to you. But, don't you get it? First, let's go to the siege incident. You acted according to your instincts and fought back and helped that woman, and second I liked it because you protected your comrades and kept your promise."
"But those things are..."
"Shush!"
She intervened and placed her finger on his lips to silence him before he could finish his sentence and continued.
"Third, the slave incident was the one I liked most. Your instinct turned cold. You wanted power and went to the extent of manipulating draconians and killing the useless ones so that you won't be tracked down. In simple words, I don't know if these are the only reasons that made me feel attracted to you, or I may be simply attracted to you. who knows?"
'A sexy woman who is willingly serving herself to me. I can't believe this absolute bull shit but can't miss a sexy lady. Can I?'
"I'd say these are just dumb reasons and I don't care about those shits as they seem like a blatant lie to me. But, I won't lie that I am attracted to you and I really wanna fuck you up." He said indifferently and grabbed her. He slowly drew his face closer towards her lips with his lips and kissed her while hugging her tightly before she could start talking and continued.
"Our relationship will be more or less a give-and-take policy. I don't feel love towards you but I could say that I am attracted to you or you can say I am lusting over you."
She smirked and parted her pink lips.
"Fufu a straightforward one aren't you? it's okay I get it."
This time she initiated the kiss.
