Chapter 668: Killing the unborn baby?

"She's pregnant"

Stay tuned with m,v le,mpyr

Those two words from Azzy caused waves, no… a giant tsunami in Gideon's heart. His heartbeat rose to the peak and his soul energy started running wildly from one organ to another. On the outside, Gideon was frozen in his place, his face turning paler, "Wha… what did… did you just say?" He couldn't believe his ears for a moment.

Azzy spoke in a clear tone, one more time, "I said, Miss Zora is pregnant. I'm sensing the life of a human growing within her stomach. There's no doubt about it."

While Zora looked at Azzy in surprise, not expecting him to have such powerful senses, Qridus then opened his mouth, "There is a reason why I made the trip personally, Gideon Crescent. You know the rules of the clan. Unless there is mutual consent between the couple, if a man makes a woman pregnant but refuses to marry her even after she decides to keep the baby, he shall face exile from the clan.

Likewise, if a female descendant of the clan becomes pregnant but refuses to have any relationship with the man that made her pregnant, she shall either abort it or present it to the clan.

In this case, if Miss Zora wishes to have the baby and also marry you, then you must either marry her or face exile. Polygynyis accepted by the Clan. Hence, after marrying Miss Zora, if you want, you can pursue Estella Moon too. But, that will be your personal issue and not the clan's.

So, decide your future now, Gideon of the Crescent Clan."

"Ancestor…" Azzy was surprised this time.

"Azrael, I told you before. Stand down and don't interfere," Qridus warned his successor once again.

However, Gideon didn't actually pay attention to the old man and simply walked back to Zora, who turned around to look at him and coldly said, "You don't need to worry about your exile, Mr. Crescent. I won't be marrying you. I and my baby don't need you, and soon, I will be erasing my memories of you anyway. So, forget about us and go and live your life."

Gideon acted like he didn't hear those words too. He affectionately grabbed her shoulders and asked, "How many weeks?"

"Five," replied Zora, swatting his arms and freeing herself to maintain a distance from him.

Gideon then asked, with his shivering tone, "And how long you have known about this?"

"Three days," replied Zora. After a brief pause, she added, "You are busy preparing to fight with Ziz and I thought I would tell you about it once you return. But, no. Instead, your friend arrived and changed everything." She gave a sharp glance to Azzy.

Unlike Gideon, Zora didn't remember Azzy from her school days. In her eyes, her lover's friend is the heir to the strongest hidden clan and is superpowerful enough to defeat their Tower Master.

Hence, in a way, she blamed Azzy in both, her heart and mind, despite blaming Gideon on the outside.

Azzy couldn't help but look at her apologetically, feeling regret for coming here at this time. Perhaps, had he visited his friend a day later, the equation should have been a little different.

As he wondered whether he should reverse the time, Gideon grabbed her arms again, "I'm sorry. I didn't know it. Estella might be the love of my life but she's already prepared to marry someone else anyway. I guess it is better to forget her. Let's marry."

Zora's facial expression changed when she heard those words. Tears filled her eyes and she whispered, "You…" A slimy tentacle-kinda thing erupted out of her chest and formed a hand, giving a firm slap to Gideon's face.

The slap sounded all over the place with a faint imprint of a hand on his cheek, taking him by surprise. "You f*c*ing ingrate. How shameless can you get? Get the f**k out of my face." She roared, not being able to control her emotions anymore. "We are over. Whether you want to pursue that f*cking doll or anyone else, I have nothing to do with it, okay?"

Gideon didn't know what else to say. He had his head down and his gaze was on the floor.

Just as Zora turned around to walk away while wiping her tears, Gideon suddenly raised his head in surprise. An energy envelope that could only be seen by him opened and a letter with a few sentences appeared, and he abruptly turned his head to look at his friend in surprise.

As Azzy squinted his eyes, Gideon gave a subtle nod, and Azzy immediately summoned his Death Scythe, taking everyone including Qridus by surprise.

"Miss Zora, if you don't want any relationship with my friend, then, you don't have the authority to have his child either. The baby must die right here."

"What?" Zora turned around to look at him in shock.

Even Qridus couldn't help but get angered by Azzy's proclamation, "Azrael, did you understand what you just spouted out?"

Azzy slammed the floor beneath him with the bottom tip of the scythe's handle, cracking it up, "I'm fully aware. Zora hasn't carried the baby in her womb for any significant time. I don't think she has any greater rights over the child compared to Gideon. Hence, if she thinks she can just break off with my friend and still have his baby, then, I don't think I would sit aside and see that happen.

So, the baby must die."

"You…"

"Azzy… what the hell are you saying?" Gideon displayed his shock and rushed toward Zora, standing before her like a shield. "You want to kill my child?"

"Once you return to the clan, your strength will automatically grant you the position of a Patriarch. The child then will become the heir to the Crescent Clan and will be filled with incredible potential. He could become a Supreme realm Arcana master and be able to live for thousands of years. She cannot have such an existence to herself.

Moreover, who knows, how the child's life is going to be?

When a man refuses to take responsibility for the baby, the mother's love for the baby will only grow. But, when the mother breaks up with the father for whatever reason and has a hatred for him, then, the child will face the consequences.

Did I say something wrong, Ancestor?" Azzy looked at the old man.

Qridus let out a sigh and nodded, "You are not wrong."

Azzy brandished the scythe and turned toward Zora, who stood there like a statue, "Since I felt your hatred for Gideon, I can't let his child have a life filled with trauma. I would rather end his life before the birth and let him reincarnate, hoping for a better family next time."

"Anyway, we wasted too much time. Let's get to the matter."

Azzy charged forward, raising the scythe. Zora was rooted on the spot in fear. She couldn't help but close her eyes and covered her stomach with her hand as Azzy lessened the gap in an instant and swung it down.

"No…" Qridus gasped. The spectators also gasped in shock.

"Ugh…"

But, when she opened her eyes, she saw Gideon standing in front of her, with the right part of his chest getting pierced by the scythe's blade.

"Why?"
