He even didn’t check over his lands yet. And doing that made his stature rise in my mind.

Tell me then, what was that meeting all about?

Interrogation and trial he sent such serious words, My race paragons agreed to come together with such a thing. I also heard the other arrogant dude is facing the same, and even harsher, trial than mine

Is that true? I wanted to know more about this messy situation, Tell me, did you paragon stand by your side?

He did, and that made me get out unscathed at the end. Damn bro, they went through every single action we did. All the battles, decisions, and even the deals we two had… That was a nightmare!

They checked the deals?! I had to be surprised by that. After all, each person’s actions in the apocalypse were limited to his own free will.

But doing so would expose for sure the deal about exchanging humans with me in return for cities and portals. In addition to that, training my forces might place these two in a tight spot.

They tried to come at me, saying these deals tarnished our race. However if not for my paragon’s help, I’d have been screwed

That’s… Good to hear his paragon acted smart, knew what he should do better for his future benefits. I hope the other dude is doing great as well

I… Seriously doubt that. After all our two races shared nothing similar about our codes of honour and laws

What do you mean?

We, Berserkers, always place great importance over fights. As long as we went through great battles and won, nothing can be blamed seriously on me. Unlike us, Selvators held much importance over their honour

I know that

So they will come at that arrogant bro and he is going to face it hard this time

Do you know if he is out or not?

I… Still know nothing. I just came out and get in touch with you the second I was out

Cool. Check over him for me. Who knows, they might have forbidden him from getting in touch with me

Possible, highly likely indeed. Leave this to me, I’ll get in touch with him then return to you

Deal

I closed the chat while feeling the pressure already from those paragons. I had to admit, this move came just in the worst time ever to try and create a wedge between me and these two.

I invested a lot in these two, and planned to do so for a much longer time. Losing them would end up bad for me indeed. “No, I won’t lose them,” I clenched my fists, knowing that I had to put more effort in the next weeks to make sure these two wouldn’t lose much.

From the words of Wryly, I could tell that everything depended over their paragons. Wryly said it himself, if not for the support of his paragon, this situation would have ended much worse.

And his race was more lenient towards their rules. I gave Wryly great battles to fight in during our past relationship, and that helped him a lot.

But Selvators? I couldn’t help but steal a look at Isac. That race wouldn’t feel relaxed after what I did to their paragons.

Wait a moment… Damn! I recalled the last words I got from Fang before all this started. He warned me that this girl here had many fans, those who might cause me trouble.

Yet I never thought before that such trouble would come this fast, and in such a way.

Ok… Ok… If you aim at my boys, then it would be only fair for me to aim at your girl. Trying to force me to let her go? Damn! You messed everything up!

I never held any intention for her to be honest. However, that is going to change right now. I just had to wait for Wryly to return and tell me the news.

According to what happened to my Fang, I’d decide how to deal with Isac from now on.

Would I treat him as Isac? Or treat her like one of my girls? That would be decided soon enough.

“Is everything alright?” it seemed my gazes startled Isac, making him ask in doubt while coming to me with the jumper.

These two just stood there all the time without exchanging a single word. They saw each other as enemies or something, making me not know if I should laugh or cry.

In my eyes, the two were just two faces of the same coin. Why wouldn’t they just get along with each other well?

“It’s good… So far,” I mysteriously said before adding, “things might go hectic from now on.”

“What happened?” the jumper asked, and I had to bitterly smile as I pointed at Isac.

“It seems like he is stirring the hornet nest.”

“M… Me?!!” Well, if he was trying to act surprised by this, then I had to give him an oscar award for such an outstanding performance.

“You snatched a paragon, and they had to respond for that,” the jumper rolled his eyes, totally missing the point, “did you think Selvators are just cowards or piece of sh*t like Succubi and Illusionists?”

“My race is mightier indeed,” Isac also missed the point, and I had to sigh when I saw that.

“It’s just me being formidable, what’s wrong in that?” I said in defence, “anyway, the paragons of all races are trying their best to target us.”

“That’s expected,” Isac nodded, “the next quest is damn important for all of us. Letting you lose and threaten other paragons will bring all of the races great trouble.”

“I can see that,” I knew this was part of the reasons behind what happened, but it wasn’t the sole reason indeed.

“So? Are we going to have a war?” the jumper asked and I had to shift my eyes outside.

“Dude, we already had it.”

“Then?”

“They are targeting Fang and Wryly this time.”
