Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 262: Nothing to discuss [1/2]

Despite the fact that Liv was much taller than I was at this moment, she seemed like a frail little girl. Sniffling and trembling in my embrace, who would believe this woman could shrug off tank rounds.

'For now, I am just glad she feels safe enough to cry.'

Most people, especially those with responsibilities, rarely allowed themselves to be weak. When you had no choice but to be strong, sometimes the best you could do was to keep together.

I continued to pamper my Northern lover while she cried all her troubles away. The only problem was that we were both on the ground.

"{Carry}, {Pack}."

I invoked Robyn's {Fates}. I picked up Liv in a bridal carry and left the buffet hall. My beloved was so engrossed in crying that she hardly noticed the change in scenery. I went to the lounge and found a good couch to sit on.

Once we were seated, I stroked Liv's back to calm her down. Like a broken dam, Liv continued to cry without pause.

It is often said that tears are the sweat of the heart. Just as sweat cools the body, it was necessary to expel it. It was a brilliant analogy. Anyone who has struggled knows how good it felt to get all those emotions out of your system.

I spent the last hour soothing my harem; while most would find it annoying, I found the time well spent. Making sure my women were emotionally healthy was just as important as their physical well-being.

Eventually Liv stopped sobbing and just sniffled. The whole time she never let go of me. It was like I was her lifeline. When she finally recovered, she poutted unhappily. I found this extremely adorable, as before Liv had always acted like someone older.

I gently caressed her beautiful face as I teased her. "Liv, my love, what is it? I'm going to kiss you if you keep making that face."

"I'm just disappointed in myself, my love. I haven't even shown you my good side yet and here I am bawling like a child. My dignity is in shambles."

Chuckling, I hugged her tightly as I whispered. "This much is fine, love, you don't need to be cool. You just need to be happy. It may not be right away but give me some time. Once I build up my strength, I will save your home."

Liv then cradled my hand to her face as she spoke in a trance. "John Smith, thank you for falling in love with me. Thank you for swearing to save the North. Of all the people in the Enlistment, I thank the heavens that you were the one I followed."

"You are welcome Liv, I am the same way. As the one who holds your affection, I forbid you to ever leave me. You should know that I am a tyrant, you should have left when you had the chance."

Liv then wrapped her arms around my neck as she gave me a deep and passionate kiss.

"My love, the women of the North would kill for a loving man like you. I, who knew nothing but scorn, now know bliss most can't even dream of. If being your captive is the price for such affection. I surrender willingly."

After a few more kisses, Liv giggled as she rested her face on my chest.

"If my siblings could see me, they would be amazed. My love, I keep discovering sides of myself I never knew. All thanks to you. Unfortunately for your future wives, they would have to kill me to take my place."

"Hmm, but I don't have any plans?"

"Hmph! My father said the same thing, and he ended up with over two thousand. Prepare yourself, women have always been prizes given to heroes. The more you save, the more desirable you become to many."

"Then I will rely on the Sirens to stop them all. My cup is already full, just having the seven of you gives me so much happiness, I cannot carry any more."

"Fufu, is that so? Then I am happy that I was even able to join your harem, my beloved. Hundreds of women would weep in the future for not being able to become yours."

"Liv, before the Sirens I only loved one other, and she left me because I was not enough for her. You girls are strange for liking me at all. I am clingy, brash, overbearing, and poor."

"Hmph, Caroline is a fool. She will forever lament how she let a treasure without parallel slip through her fingers. My love, you call yourself clinging, I say you are loving. You say brash, I say valiant. Overbearing? You are both majestic and reliable.

If riches were all she wanted, she should have just married a bank."

Hearing Liv make such a bad joke, I buried my face in her bosom as I laughed. Having the Sirens boosted my confidence quite a bit. And truth be told, I had been a Reaper for barely a week and had already made millions.

I may have been born poor, but at the rate I was going, dying poor seemed an impossibility. But something struck me. Why does Liv, a Northerner, know Caroline, who was my ex?

"Liv. Why do you know Caroline?"

"Ah. Um... that is..."

My Northerner began to stammer suspiciously and avoided my gaze. When she realized she couldn't escape me, she exhaled in defeat.

"Yesterday Caroline was looking for a job and she wanted to work for Lilly. We were there when they spoke to her."

"Caroline applied to Lilly? For what? Did Lilly accept?"

"I am not sure, the Sirens were divided on how to treat her."

"Divided? What do you mean?"

"Well..."

"Liv. Please tell me. I want to know."

"O-okay. Half of us wanted to kill her for what she did to you. And half of us wanted to protect her because you loved her in the past."

Caroline was a woman I once loved with all my heart. Despite everything, I couldn't win her love. Even though I had moved on, it still pricked my heart a bit. However, it was amusing to hear Liv's words.

Some of my girls wanted to get revenge for me, which made me happy because it showed how much they adored me. Getting angry for someone else's sake was one of the purest forms of love.
