Both of them must have heard about his actions that poisoned dozens of imperial students.
This was undoubtedly a serious matter, so it was no surprise that they were panicking.
Luis wondered how he would calm them down.
"But I have to tie this woman up first," he said.
Though she was weak, he still dared not leave her alone. After all, she still had hands and feet to move.
Finally, he asked Lifeborn to bind her with pieces of its roots.
After that, he finally descended from the second floor to the first floor to et his parents.
Both of them were sitting in the living room, and his mother looked confused while his father remained silent with a pensive expression.
Occasionally, he furrowed his brows and glanced at his wife when she ntioned Luis again.
"Ehmm!" Luis, who was on the stairs, cleared his throat, startling both of them.
"Luis!"
The woman, Lily, imdiately stood up, her eyes wide in disbelief.
Luis scratched his head with a wry smile.
"Mom, you don’t need to worry too much, I’ll be fine," he said, feeling that was all he could say.
"How can you say you’ll be fine? Do you know that so of those students have died from your poison?" The woman shouted, not expecting her son to remain calm while she was in such a panic.
Paul remained silent, staring at Luis as he spoke.
He preferred to assess whether he was telling the truth or just talking nonsense.
And based on his conclusion, he felt his son wasn’t talking nonsense.
"Mom, I’m not as simple as you think. Look, I’m fine now and will be fine until later," Luis replied.
He knew there was no suitable explanation, so he could only keep saying he’d be fine.
This ti, his mother finally fell silent, just narrowing her eyes.
"What if soone finds you and kills you?" she asked after a mont of silence.
"I’m already very strong; how could anyone kill ?" Luis replied with a chuckle.
"Hmph, weren’t those students almost killing you when you attacked them?"
"At that ti, I was still at Level D; now I’m at Level C. Everything is different now. Besides, that was because I didn’t use my true abilities. If I had, they wouldn’t have been able to defeat ."
"..."
Luis argued with his mother until nightfall before she finally stopped talking.
They ended the argunt with dinner.
At least for his basic powers such as his level and spirit, including his Core Power, he was open with his parents so they would be at ease.
After dinner, Luis took a warm shower, put on new, comfortable clothes for sleeping.
He really wanted to sleep that night because the events that had occurred had ntally exhausted him.
In fact, he had almost forgotten about Isadonna and only rembered her again when he returned to his room, where he found the woman had already woken up from her faint.
With her hands and feet bound, she could only sit there.
Her eyes moved toward him as he entered the room.
Unlike usual, her gaze was no longer cold, but it wasn’t panicked or worried either. She actually looked calm, as if she had no problems at all.
It seed that her ntality was indeed unusual.
Luis wasn’t sure what to say.
He walked over to her and then took a chair to sit in front of the bed to look at her more closely.
Because her legs were bound and her hands were tied behind her back, Luis thought she resembled a rmaid.
"What are you looking at?" the woman asked after being stared at closely.
"Aren’t you afraid?" Luis asked back while crossing his legs.
"Afraid of you?" The woman showed a cynical, dismissive expression.
Luis didn’t expect such a response from soone he had captured.
Not only was she not afraid, she was also dismissive of him.
Didn’t she realize that as a beautiful woman, many bad things could happen to her because she was in the lion’s den?
Luis wasn’t sure about her way of thinking, but he also couldn’t bring himself to say outright that she wasn’t afraid of being raped by him.
Proud won tend not to fear death, but they are deeply afraid of being defiled.
"Luis, who are you talking to?"
Before he could say anything, Luis suddenly heard his mother’s voice at the door of his room.
He looked over to find his mother already standing at the door, looking stunned as she saw a blonde-haired woman on his bed with her hands and feet bound.
Imdiately after that, her expression turned filled with anger.
She then shouted, "Luis, have you lost your morality after gaining power? How dare you kidnap a woman."
Luis, "..."
"Mom, it’s not like that... This woman is a wicked businesswoman from the empire who has committed many cris against our planet. She also wanted to kill , but she ended up being captured by . How could I kidnap a woman? What I did was fight for Velos," he said, quickly explaining to his mother because he didn’t want to argue with her anymore.
"Mom, you can look her up online. Her na is Isadonna Whitemoon," he added.
"Isadonna?"
This ti, the woman finally showed surprise, staring at Isadonna more closely.
It seed she had heard of her before.
"She’s Isadonna?" she said again, unable to believe her son had captured soone of that caliber.
"Your son is right, Madam..." Suddenly, Isadonna spoke to her mother, startling Luis because she spoke in a calm, casual tone.
Her mother, Lily, was naturally also shocked.
She then checked her phone to look for a photo of Isadonna.
Not long after, she took a deep breath.
"Luis, what are you going to do to her? Isn’t she also a very powerful Awakener?" Lily asked, stepping into the room with her eyes fixed on Isadonna.
The longer she stared at her, the more amazed she was by how beautiful she was, far more beautiful than in the photo.
"Mom, I’ve sealed her power. She’s no different from an ordinary human now," Luis replied.
"Right now, I’m not sure what to do with her, so for now, I’ll just lock her up in this house."
"Are you sure? What if she escapes while you’re away and we’re asleep?" Lily asked, looking uncertain.
Of course, Luis was aware that stricter surveillance was necessary.
If given ti, even with her hands and feet bound, there was still a chance Isadonna could escape.
Though there was nothing left on her body besides her clothes—Luis had taken her Dinsion Artifact and even destroyed her phone, fearing her family could track her through it—she was still no ordinary woman.
He didn’t know what kind of training she had undergone.
Luis thought that additional surveillance was indeed necessary for her. As long as she was being watched, she didn’t actually need to be tied up.
One thing he could rely on was his Lifeborn, but he wanted to bring the tree with him because it was safer for him to have it by his side.
Additionally, the Lifeborn had originally belonged to Isadonna. Luis was concerned that there might be a certain connection between them.
This ans he needed sothing to help him keep an eye on Isadonna.
While thinking, he opened his phone to look for ideas.
And in no ti, he ca up with an idea.
It was to buy a robot.
The empire produced many worker or assistant robots. There were even fighting robots that weren’t weak, at least capable of fighting an E-rank Awakener.
Fighting robots are not sold to the people of Velos, but this doesn’t an there’s no way to buy them. One can purchase them on the black market at a higher price.
According to the information he read, local businessn have already bought fighting robots and are storing them to resell later.
The price is around 50 million dollars, even more expensive than the black market price, but by buying from them, he can get the robot faster than waiting for it to arrive on the black market.
(Do you know anyone who sells fighting robots?) He sent a ssage to Alice.
He was ready to buy it right away.
Although he doesn’t have 50 million dollars available, he has a large number of Monster Cores, which are worth nearly 200 million dollars after he calculated their value.
They can be used as a substitute for money, sothing any businessman would accept.
Alice responded quickly.
(Madam Sofia is selling them. You can contact her through the organization’s app!)
Luis didn’t expect Alice to ntion the woman, but since they already knew each other, this would be easier.
He quickly opened the organization app and found Madam Sofia’s account since she used her real na.
Just the na was enough for her identity.
Luis then sent a ssage to her account.
(Good evening, Madam... Sorry for disturbing you, I’m Luis. I heard you’re selling a Robot Fighter. Could you sell one to ? I’ll buy it with Monster Cores!)
He hoped she’d respond quickly, but he wasn’t entirely sure.
At the sa ti, his father also entered the room, just as surprised as his mother.
Of course, Luis had to explain it to him personally, and that was easier than explaining it to his mother.
