Titan Rising Online: World Breaker

Chapter 390 390: The Conclave III

?

"I don't give a shit if you are ranked first on the bloody fucking leaderboard of the universe. Apart from your fucking aunt and brother there's 6 other aspirants in this house all within the top 20. and I know you are aware that ranks don't mean shit when someone is a perfect counter to your abilities. All rounder that you are...there's nothing you have that can stop me if I want to hurt you. So behave yourself and don't bring any more shame and disgrace to yourself." Darius huffed and turned away, taking one last forlorn look at Tehila before he went into the ballroom.

Cole looked at Tehila and shrugged. It was weird how the Night family alone had 10 people within the top 20 aspirants, out of million! One family took the top spot. And how did they all get fucking access or rather got lucky with the lottery. It was supposed to be random, but if 9 other people from the Night family could win the lottery for the event then...the lottery was never random in the first place. 

He was in that event and got to be this strong because someone had wanted it this way. Of course not entirely, he could have washed out, not been lucky or had gotten killed by now. Either way the incursion and the event to save earth or at least give it a fighting chance now seems to be centred around his family? Or perhaps it was more like his family were just that good? Something wasn't adding up, if it was like this, then this would paint a huge target on their backs. Not just from other aspirants, the current governments still had enough power to destroy everything the night family has built if they fell that they were too much of a threat.

He came to the realization the same time as Tehila. This was why there was 'Conclave'. sure the civil war was causing problems, but everyone of them were happy to let things be, allowing the main family to destroy themselves would have worked out best in their interest. But someone noticed something, the danger, to Cole it was slowly beginning to feel as a trap was set and it was about to be sprung, steel jaws snapping around them.

"Don't worry about it right now Love! Look at me!" Tehila said to him as she raised his head up, she gave a quick kiss and placed her forehead on his while he closed his eyes. It was a sight that could be seen by many as they had no idea that the ballroom doors had been opened, but they ignored everything else.

"it's always been me and you, think about it Cole. We've known each other since we were kids. Our families deciding to get us hitched when we were older was just what forced us to acknowledge the others presence. But I've loved you from the beginning, as I'm sure many of the girls we grew up with did.

I was 12 and you some scrawny 9 year old told me that even if my heart was cold and couldn't feel anything. Yours would do it for the both of us. That you would love me and care for me so much that it would be enough for both of us. You never remembered, particularly because that's the day you felt you had become a man and found your way into your father's liquor cabinet. Right while there was a particularly nasty gang fight happening.

It sounds stupid but! Fear nothing, fear no one! This family is nothing to me, it is nothing to you! All that matters is me and you...and our baby. The universe, magic, the system whatever the fuck is out there pulling strings. Fear nothing! You are above it!"

She turned and pulled away, and that was when they noticed the audience. The family, their retainers, the guests, the in-laws. Anyone connected to the Night family was here, and they had all heard that soon there would be a new member born. And then it sunk into Cole well enough. Sure he and Tehila had been sexually active…. but they hadn't been doing it that much….okay maybe they have been doing it a bit much. A Raen's stamina and appetite for sex was actually extreme, but he didn't think they were that…..fertile, shit! Peronico really needed to run those tests, the system wasn't really forthcoming about every single biological functions of a Raen.

Cole stepped further, he was black but still light skinned enough that everyone here could see that his cheeks were red. Tehila dragged him along, almost daring anyone to say anything, as she took Cole to a corner where they could observe the whole ballroom and the room itself could observe them, then they sat down.

There were tiny mics on the table, along with holographic screens and refreshments. It seems everyone is expected to say something during this conclave. Cole no longer gave a shit,with what Tehila had just told him, he doubted there was anything else in all of existence that he cared about more than her. But still no one was saying anything, so Cole just slapped his hand on the table, his domineering personality that had been subdued spilled out along with his aura, a red and black tinged shock wave spread from his table, ruffling everyone's clothes.

"Let's get this fucking thing over with."

That seemed to be enough to get everyone out of the shocked state they were in, as they all quickly moved around to find their seats. Cole quickly identified his grandfather and grandmother, along with his grandfather's three other siblings and their own spouses. He had two younger brothers and an elder sister, each of them leading an equally sizable force and handling different aspects of the company. The Night family was more than just a single family, in fact it would be better to call them a Clan now.

"Well then let me call the first Night Family Conclave to order then, as the oldest living member of the family, as I do for my brother when they feel particularly inclined to act like children, I will also do for the direct descendants of the family who have complaints to tender in this conclave. Everyone will get their turn to speak, so don't speak over anyone or I will leave my cane in all your candy asses! You feel me?" and that was when Cole realized the oldest living elder of the Night family...Was also an Aspirant.
