“Looks like you don’t know your daughter as much as you thought. She ran straight to her lover boy to tell him about our plans despite you repeatedly asking her not to. At least I hope this puts an end to your ‘I trust my daughter crap.’ My friend at our age… by now you should have known better. Now because of your daughter, a simple mission has turned into a full-blown war,” Arnas John’s master taunted Jill’s father. It seemed as if Jill’s father’s relationship with Jill was bothering him and was not subtle about it.
“My friend, age is just another number for people like us. I am bored living just for myself. My heart has gotten numb. I want to dedicate this particular stage of my life to try and live for someone else other than myself. Hopefully, it will reduce the numbness in my heart,” Jill’s father expressed to Arnas John’s master with an expressionless face.
It wasn’t clear if he was telling the truth or lying. If he was lying, was it because he did consider Jill as his daughter and lied for her safety as his daughter or was it because of her carnivorous womb physique and lied for the safety of his test subject? Either way, only he knew what Jill meant to him.
“Hahaha, you and your crazy experiments, only you can come up with such an experiment. I shouldn’t have expected anything less from you. It still astounds me how far you are willing to go for your experiments. Fine do as you please, as long as it doesn’t affect my plans I will allow it. After all, if not for your crazy ideas and stubborn pursuit of them we would not be where we are today,” Arnas John’s master relaxed and a carefree smile formed on his face learning that Jill’s father’s relationship with Jill was just another experiment of his.
The reason Arnas John’s master took Jill’s father’s word for it was that he had seen Jill’s father in his prime and knew what lengths his friend would go to for his crazy experiments.
“Now that you know, next time you try to insult or threaten my relationship with my daughter or my daughter, herself, I will not hesitate to gut you, fill your stomach and intestines with SS-Rank buzzard worms and stitch you up.
Then watch as you beg me to kill you out of sheer agony of having your organs eaten by the buzzard worms and healed by your physique non-stop. Got it?” Jill’s father’s face which was expressionless a second ago turned fierce enough to resemble that of a god of war about to smite his enemy.
“…” The careless smile on Arnas John’s master’s face froze and his brows frowned, unable to understand if his friend’s action was a part of his experiment or if his friend had grown a soft spot for his adoptive daughter, Jill.
Either way, he did not like it one bit. He has long transcended the concept of pain but the juices secreted by SS-Rank Buzzard worm increased the pain of its prey by 1000 times, sending their prey in shock which gave them an edge over their prey.
“Now that we are on the same page let’s talk business. My daughter likes the boy, I want to gift him to her,” Jill’s father said as if he was out here buying a birthday gift for his daughter.
“My friend you know the rules we set ages ago, once we get the knowledge of creating and operating VR-Universe that boy will be disposed of,” Arnas’s master was not surprised by Jill’s father’s straightforwardness but then he did not agree to his friend’s request instead stated that it was not possible because of the age old rules they had agreed on.
“Don’t worry if my daughter marries him he will become part of my family. If she doesn’t then you are free to dispose of him. This should be within our rules right?” Jill’s father proposed.
It was not clear if Jill’s father was doing this for Jill or Jill’s carnivorous womb physique. Either way, for now, he seemed to be advocating on behalf of Jill’s interest.
“That would have been within the norms of the rules if you had a family to begin with. Remember you said you did not want to build a family because you were too busy with whatever experiment you were conducting at that time?” Arnas’s Master reminded Jill’s father that he did not have a family as he never bothered to build one.
“Fine, I will start building my family starting now and the boy will be the first member of my family,” Jill’s father said, having resolved to give his daughter what she sought no matter the cost.
“You don’t get to decide that, make an official appeal and the founding masters will vote on that. We have been tolerant enough about you adopting a daughter but it will not work if you plan to rope in the boy too.
Remember you were too busy to be part of our childish group. Your words, not mine. I hope whatever experiment you were doing back then was worth it,” Arnas’s Master mocked Jill’s father for not socializing enough and as a result losing all his privileges.
“Oh, you guys have been tolerant, huh? Let me see which one of you dares to say that I do not get to decide if I want to start a family,” Jill’s father’s words were nothing less than a threat.
“You are willing to go that far for that girl, you do know that she betrayed your trust the moment she got to. Has all those years of being cooped up finally caught up to you? Can you not see that you do not know her as well as you thought you did?” Arnas’s master asked his friend. He still wasn’t sure if his friend was doing this for the girl or if it was just a part of his experience of his new experiment.
If it was the latter Arnas’s master believed his friend would not hesitate to go against all of them for his crazy experiments. This was why Arnas’s father was having a hard time deciding how to react to his friend’s actions.
“You keep saying I do not know my daughter well enough, let me let you in on a secret, I knew once I told her about your collaboration with Morningstar University she would immediately inform the boy about your plans no matter how many times I asked her not to do so,” Jill’s father revealed that Jill’s action was within his calculation surprising Arnas’s Master, “If you knew she would tattle about our plans to the boy then why did you reveal the plans to her?”
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm “First and foremost so that she can score points with the boy and get close to him. And the other reason is simple, a rat only comes out of its hole when it feels safe. Now that the Southern family knows about the ambush they will think they are ahead and be more open to letting the boy attend the University interview,” Jill’s father knew that if the Southern Royal family did not have a sense of control over the situation they would never let the boy leave the palace grounds.
“Wait, for that to work you had to have known that the boy will be willing to attend the university interview despite their malicious intent and the risk of being ambushed,” Arnas’s Master pointed out.
“The boy has been bugging Jill to help him get admitted into Morningstar University, totally going against the will of the Southern royal family. I believe he is eyeing the other world-traveling project of Morningstar University since he asked Jill to get him the coordinates of the worlds discovered by Morningstar University. So, considering the boy’s nature I was sure that he would do anything to enter Morningstar University to get what he wants,” Jill’s father explained how he knew that the boy will attend the University interview despite learning about the ambush from Jill.
“You are telling me the Morningstar University did not need to act against the boy. If they had been patient the boy would have joined their university. Those old fools fancy themselves as the smartest in the world but now they are the dumbest of all, hahaha,” Arnas’s master laughed heartily hearing the snafu of the Morningstar University.
