Chapter 84: Takes Care of His People
Chapter 84: Takes Care of His People
Zoey blinked. She didn't expect Marcus, her savior to be that kind of person. It sounded like Marcus was a typical young master who comes from a powerful family.
When she heard about him destroying planets, she felt like it was a waste. Planets are valuable resources to the human race as all kinds of minerals can be mined there. Those minerals can be used to craft items or even aid in cultivation. If lucky, treasures can also be found on planets.
Seeing Zoey's look, Eva once again spoke. "You don't have to worry, there were no humans on those planets. They didn't kill anyone."
Zoey slowly nodded.
"How did your father react after you got home? Also, how's your engagement with Leo?" Eva noticed that Leo and Maya are getting closer and closer. Although Maya kept placing barriers up, Leo always tried to break it down.
"My father started shouting like everything wasn't his fault. As for my engagement with Leo, he already broke it off. He was afraid that I would run again." Zoey giggled.
"That's a relief. It looks like you're now a beautiful single lady" Eva took a sip of the drink in her hand.
Zoey nodded. "I was exhilarated when he announced it."
"I wonder how Leo's family reacted when they found out about Maya." Nexus joined in.
"Actually, Big Sis," Zoey spoke. "I'm worried that the Flavus family might do something to Maya. They think that my father broke the engagement because of her."
She was there when her father and a few old coots from the Flavus family met.
Leo's dad was fine with it, he didn't really mind who his son marries. However, the other leaders of his family weren't. They wanted this marriage to happen to strengthen the ties of their families and together they could overtake the Frey and Strongwald. Leo's father, Ronald Flavus, couldn't do anything but stay silent.

"You don't have to worry." Eva smiled. "Marcus takes care of his people."
"You guys really put that much trust on him?" Zoey found it hard to believe for a teenager prince to be that competent. He did save her, but going against the Flavus is a different matter.
Eva chuckled. "Once you start hanging out with him for quite some time, you'll know what I mean."
Zoey looked at the drunk Marcus. He was not asleep. He just snuggled in Emily's thighs.
Not long, a couple of people started coming in. They greeted Eva, gave gifts, exchanged a couple of pleasantries, and then went away.
The Eva who now retained her memories found this tiresome. In her past life, there were people who would receive the gifts and entertain the guests for her and she would just either stay in her room or in the garden. The Holy Maiden would only come to see important people.
She didn't complain though. The smile on her face never left as she continued greeting incoming guests.
The guests would often look to the side where Marcus was. Their gaze would shift to the mesmerizing beauty who was taking car of the vermilion-haired teen. They would of course hastily remove their eyes and turn it to Eva.
This does not solve anything as Eva too was gorgeous, her massive cans made the insides of their mouth water.
Zoey, who looked like a seductress in her red dress also sat nearby, making their already difficult to control urges, harder.
They started day dreaming of having these beautiful maidens on their bed.
"Thank you for this wonderful gift. We from Asura really appreciate it." Eva smiled as she received a box of chocolates.
"It-it's nothing big. The drinks you serve here are heavenly." Said the man who handed the gift.
"We try our best to keep the customers satisfied with their drinks." Eva smiled.

This went on for a couple more hours.
Eva tiredly sighed. Having to meet those kinds of people was exhausting. All of them clearly wanted to suck up to her.
"Hahaha, It's finally over. We can go home." The board Nexus fixed his tux and stood up. He had been silent all this time, looking at the people entering, and taking note of each and every one of them.
"People say it's great being rich, but they have no idea how much bullshit they have to deal with." Zoey's head was on the table. As the heir to a large family, she's had this routine multiple times. Smile, exchange complementaries, and repeat.
She never got used to it and even hated going to big events because of it.
"Marcus, Marcus let's go." Emily whispered.
Marcus who already sobered up quite a bit, wrapped his arms around her waist. He then inhaled her scent.
After a second or two, he stood up. His face wasn't as red as before.
"You two should get a room." Eva chuckled together with Zoey.
Emily had a shy smile on her face. She then went to stand beside Eva.
"Should we go home?" Marcus stretched. He didn't take a nap, he just enjoyed the soft pillow which was Emily's thigh.
"Let's go, you don't know how bored I was." Nexus grumbled.
"Alright, we should accompany Zoey home first." Marcus walked towards the door.
"No," Zoey hurriedly shook her head. "There's really no need. If you're worried about my safety, you really shouldn't. I have Preparation Stage experts guarding me in the dark."
Eva who was right next to Zoey whispered. "I told he takes care of his own people."
"It's only a quick drive to your place so it isn't a hassle." Marcus walked out together with Nexus.
Emily grabbed Zoey's hand and nodded as they walked together with Eva.

In the Strongwald estate, inside the meeting room.
The once neat room was now in shambles. Cracked floors, destroyed columns, and the marble table was cut in half.
Pald was near one of the pillars. His bloody figure stood straight. Cuts and bruises were spread all throughout his body.
He didn't seem to mind. The smile on his face was evidence to how he enjoyed this.
Senator Bong, however, was no longer fit for battle. His knees were on the ground. Not only were parts of his hair torn off, but also his right arm.
Vice President Merts and Vin Strongwald didn't interfere. They just watched them fight and made them release all the frustrations bottled inside them.
"Hahaha," Pald laughed like a maniac. "Is that all you could do? Is that all you amount to? You're not fit to be one of the leaders of this family!"
Pald mocked his nemesis. They have fought before but it didn't end as badly as this.
Senator Bong didn't look at him. His anger filled eyes were staring at the ground. He was unwilling to believe that he lost. How could someone who was once weak that he once pushed around become this strong?
Questions filled his mind as he slowly raised his head.
He raised his only arm and pointed towards Pald. "This is not over. Mark my words that this is not the end. You just got lucky."
Senator Bong carefully stood up. He picked his arm and walked towards the door to his left.
