Chapter 721  Chapter 720-Super Fight........?

The declaration was left in the air, its meaning known to all, as the expressions of the two men started to change, their gazes looking deep and extremely lost, yet angry as they directed it all towards Carmelia, who took it all in stride, her expression neutral as Nix asked in a surprised tone.

"You are joking, right, Carmel?"

His words were responded to with a cool tone contrasting with Nix's stiff one.

"I'm not joking; let's not be as close as we are now in the future..."

Her words only worsened the atmosphere in the place as Melvin, seemingly trying to keep his cool, spoke.

"You throw us away now after everything we did for you?!"

His last tone was emotional as Carmelia coolly replied again.

"It's due to everything you did for me that I am not throwing you away or making you an enemy of the empire I thrive in and rule."

'Uff...Damn girl, you are taking their pride and everything away in a single strike...'

As I mused at that thought, the situation only continued to get worse. Nix, seemingly a bit more emotional, started to laugh out.

"Hahahah.......so this is how you are ending it? Our feelings just lost as you jump to another guy after you lose interest in us?"

His layered meaning brought certain forbidden words out of his mouth, the temperature dropping as the clouds above started to get darker.

'Oh....shit...no, he didn't...'

Carmelia's gaze turned colder, Nix seemingly realizing his mistake, but he didn't back down at all. Maybe the serum I gave him hasn't left him completely.

"What else if not for you sticking to that bastard now? After our use is over, you just throw us away. Do you think you will still be able to hold everything you have if you throw us away?!"

The haughtiness, the arrogance, everything they had hidden from Carmelia to get her attention slowly came out, as the truth did. Melvin not speaking, but his silence showed where he stood on the issue, their casual stance now open, the hiding, the manipulations all out as the full truth fell in front of Carmelia. The tightening of her hand showed that the truth was affecting her even if she wasn't showing it.

Carmelia took deep breaths, controlling her anger and betrayal, it seemed, as she spoke out.

"You lied to me at first, tried to manipulate me, and you all said that you love me, yet all you loved was my position. If I wasn't who I was, would you have helped me unconditionally? If I fell, would you have fallen with me?"

Her question contained a certain emotional feel to it, to which I held her fingers back tightly, showing my silent support. To her question, standing a bit far away, the two of them looked at Carmelia with a dry gaze. The look in their eyes contained a hint of disdain as Melvin, a bit cooled down, spoke.

"Everything in this world moves in order, Carmel. We did what we did because you are beautiful, have power, and a great position. Everything in this world is one of equivalent exchange. Who helps someone unconditionally, especially in our world?"

Although everything was a question, it contained all the answers that Carmelia wanted. Her gaze turned cold as she looked at the two, their hidden darkness for all to see, and Carmelia agreed with them. In a certain sense, they were right; there is almost no unconditional trust in their own line of living, but the key word being almost...

As she thought of this, Carmelia turned to look at me, her gaze containing a certain light as she smiled, her emotions seemingly settled down as she then turned to look at Nix and Melvin, though before she could speak, Nix did... to me.

"What kind of man are you to just stay silent? You must be one of a kind playboy to get her heart when we couldn't."

An extreme amount of animosity and hatred was contained in his voice as he spoke of this. They did genuinely want Carmel.

'Though, gotta give it to him to find out that I am indeed a one-of-a-kind playboy.'

[The only kind I will say.]

'You have no opinion.'

[Slander!]

"Well, I am indeed more good-looking than the two of you combined. Plus, you're wrong, Carmel is more like a sister to me."

My words flowed naturally like water, the atmosphere freezing at my shameless reply, which the two men took as me making fun of them, while Carmelia froze once again. I am pretty sure by the end of this, she would suffer some sort of PTSD with the word sister.

'Haaaa.....life is fun.'

As I thought so, the sky above darkened, the light of the day being unseen, as a moon seemingly started to light up. Carmelia's hair turned silver, while a powerful aura started to blast out from within her.

'Guess she is going to take out her frustrations on them.'

While I thought so, Carmelia let go of my hand, no doubt the pissed feeling still there, as she slowly floated above the ground, her voice for all to hear as she spoke.

"You lied to me first, took advantage of me, tried to manipulate me. You spoke of your loyalty to me, while all you had was lust in your mind, and now you have tried to insult the one person who has given me unconditional trust and safety."

As she said this, the light of the moon got stronger.

"You are right; what you said is the truth, but that doesn't mean I accept it or want to keep a figure on it. What I want, I have, and what you give me now, I don't want. Yes, I am throwing you away, I don't need you anymore, but what can you do about it?"

Carmelia asked as she floated above, a symbol of a quarter moon appearing on her forehead as she looked down on the two, her gaze containing controlled rage as Melvin spoke.

"Do you think you will be safe by pushing us away? Our family, our dukedom, won't let this be..."

"That's right! You won't be safe doing this!"

Even as Nix shouted, their auras started to enlarge, their powers being focused deep within their bodies, as a sword appeared in Melvin's hand and an axe in Nix's. A will of their bloodlines came into play as their bodies got coated with certain specialized armor, the clash imminent as the two understood that this friendship was over, all those years now down the drain, while the girl they fought for now lay in the hand of another man.

Both their trembling eyes came down on me, who stood there with a smirk, my lips moving such that I slowly mouthed the words only they could understand.

"I did this, you fuckers..."

It didn't take more than a moment for the idea of what happened to bloom in the minds of these idiots as their auras got even stronger, one of the aims being towards Carmelia while the other one aimed towards me, the one that had destroyed all of their hard work, the one that had entered their lives like a comet, and the one that had ripped everything away.

"Do you think your threats amount to anything in front of the current me? Do you think that your families would dare now stand against me with all that I have?"

As Carmelia asked this dangerously, the skies started to ripple, the light of the moon falling down as Carmelia got strengthened, moon-like beams forming around as the two tried to resist the feelings. Nix flashed towards me to attack, Melvin flashing his sword to Carmelia, while the moonbeams moved with precise attack formation.

Though at the moment of the clash, everything froze, seemingly as if destruction had graced it with its beautiful presence. As the moon-like attack vanished, the two boys that aimed to attack only felt an extreme hit within their bodies as they fainted, the dark sky flashing away as a red one took over, while Carmelia was forced to kneel to the ground.

And there, now floating in between, stood Nini, her lips all with a smile as the central one spoke.

"Let's not fight too much, shall we?"

Pure raw power was demonstrated as the power of destruction flowed.
