Chapter 453: 10 Year Deal
"You two are seriously lacking….look at Twice...he is already way ahead of you two...do you really just wanna play around for the whole day?" Max berated the two black beasts.
"If you two can't perform the breath attack the next ti we fight then don't bla for not showing rcy…." He further said with a stern gaze and commanded Twice to instruct them.
Max then left to see Lithiya before planning to leave the spirit world.
"She is finally looking a bit better…" Andriel said with a smile.
"Yeah…." Max nodded with a smile. Her face appeared to be a bit less paler and her vitality was no longer slipping at the sa pace as it did earlier. The improvent was almost negligible but it still gave them hope.
"We need to find so external source to wake her up…." Max muttered as he looked at Lithiya.
"Well, if you can find another Supre who is willing to share his life force then we can definitely wake her up…" Andriel said as she looked at her.
Max shook his head. He didn't have the strength to kill a Supre and even less when it ca to get that person to willingly surrender his life force. After all, unlike Max who can regenerate his vitality, others can't.
Losing life force was equivalent to death….
Max sighed. He had to continue this process of treatnt until he was powerful enough to subdue a supre himself….
"Don't worry, I will save her even at the cost of my own life…" Andriel said as she put her hands around Max's neck.
"I appreciate your thoughts. But let's find another way...I don't think I can bear this cost…" Max replied with a smile.
"Finally falling in love with ?" Andriel asked with a sweet smile.
"I already can't handle the two I have...I can't afford another one…" Max shook his head.
"How rude? I thought I was the first one….I was the first person to profess my love... how can you exclude like that…" Andriel said with a playful smile.
"How can I exclude you? It's not like I can kick you out...you can keep trying until I finally fall for you…" Max said as he walked out of the room.
"And how long do you think it will take for you to fall for ?" Andirel asked curiously.
"Another 20 or 30 years, if I can stay alive though.." Max said as he left the spirit world.
Andirel smiled bitterly at Max's response, ''I don't have that much ti…"
But then, she regained her determination and snorted as she raised her chest, "It seems, I need to step up my ga….I will make you fall for in the next two year…or die trying..."
…
Max left his room and entered the kitchen for dinner.
"Hmmn? Whose plate is this?'' Max asked as he looked at the plate near the sink which was still full. The person had barely eaten anything.
"It's Young Miss...she isn't feeling well…" the maid working in the kitchen replied.
Max's face contorted in pain, 'How the f*ck am I supposed to eat with this guilty heart!!'
He sighed and then ssages Lisa.
?You all are in Elly's room??
?Lisa: Yes...?
?Take Aria out of the room for a minute, I need to talk with Elly…"
?Lisa: Did sothing happen??
?Kind of, anyway I need to talk to you as well...et later.. ?
?Lisa: Oh...ok…?
Max took in a deep breath. He finally had decided what to do for now...
…
"Knock!"
"Knock!"
Elly looked at the door.
"Who is it?''
"It's .." Max's voice rang from behind the door.
Elly flinched for a second. But soon, regained her calm and opened the door.
"Shall we have a talk over food? I am hungry…" Max said as he looked at her.
Elly didn't know what to say. It was obvious that she had been found out.
Well, she didn't want anyone to stay hungry because of her…
….
Max brought her to his room and then brought the food from the kitchen.
"I am sorry for earlier, I lost my calm for a second…" Elly said as she looked at him.
"Why are you apologizing? I was the one who asked you to speak your mind..." Max shook his head.
"So what did you want to talk about?'' Elly asked.
"Well, you asked to accept things and be serious about it. But, sorry I can't do it…"
Elly's dimd down and she sighed.
"I can't do it right now"
"Hmmn?" Elly looked at him.
"Honestly, I am not in the right mind to take any decision right now. You know that I am into so shady stuff…the bizarre things that you have witnessed…rember?" Max looked at her.
Elly nodded her head.
"That is putting so restraint on ….how about we wait. Give 10 years and I will give you an answer…"
"10 years? Isn't it too long?" Elly asked as she looked at him. She didn't know why but hearing the 10 years from Max gave her an odd feeling….it was as if he wasn't fully confident of seeing it through….
"Let's be honest, ti is necessary...we don't know much about each other….and don't you think it's too early for marriage….normal age for marriage today is around 30...so we should take our ti….10 years isn't much..."
"But what if we get married within 10 years, do you have power over that? Can you decided it for yourself?" Elly asked.
"I hate to say it. But if I can't postpone it until 10 years later, then we will have to go through it. But sothing forced like this won't have any recognition in my eyes. Call a jerk, but that's how I am. If I can't accept it then I can't…..we would only be partners in na at least until I make a decision...but that is sothing you have to be willing to accept as well. Because you know what I think but are still willing to go through it...so you can't put the entire bla on .."
Elly sighed before giving a nod.
"You said that we should try to know each other….So how do you think we should get to know each other…" Elly asked as she looked at him. Max
"Well, I an we are already friends….so it would slowly happen….wouldn't it?" Max asked as he looked at her.
"Let's date for the next 10 years…I already said you are my boyfriend. It wouldn't be a problem. And I don't an any physical relationship…don't think that I am trying to seduce you here...I just want to hang out like couples do and trying to develop sothing positive...because if we are going to wait for 10 years, then shouldn't we try sothing...because if we don't then, I don't think there is any aning in waiting for 10 years…"
"True...let's do it then." Max nodded. There was nothing wrong with hanging out for a bit. She had compromised for him, he had to be willing to do so as well. You need to bear the consequence of your actions....he can't say that this engagent had nothing to do with him...he gave the old man the power to use him for family's benefit.....it was still his fault...and now he had to see through it...
"Its a deal then.." Elly sent her hand out.
"Fine, its a deal." Max replied with a smile and shook her hand.
