Rise of the Cosmic_Emperor

After she had spoken, Elenor picked up the pace and while she had a neutral expression on her face, she was exuding an air of self-satisfaction.

In her mind, she had done two things to the Prince fellow which had thrown him off his game; has had kissed and threatened him... Both of which he had been powerless against.

The kiss especially...

While she was doing exceptionally well (on account of experience and strength) with not letting how much the kiss had affected her show, she was quite giddy... The passion of that kiss... It had been incredible.

She saw in Hal, a potential sexual partner, and also saw the likely scenario where she had no choice but to kill him.

The formation all over the Devil Tribe-ruled segment was very important and it added security to the situation but she had a feeling that it would not stop things from unfolding as the Prince fellow wanted.

She would kill him... That was fact and she could already picture the scenario playing out along with a long battle of clashing skills and strength.

A battle with enough potential to be remembered by the Dystopian continent for centuries to come.

She could see herself bathed in his blood after she had gutted him with her sword and she could just about imagine herself, at that moment, reminiscing of their passionate affair.

It had been so long since such a scenario last played out for her...

"Beautiful" she mumbled... There was no better ending to a love affair than a bloody battle.

Hal of course had no idea what she was thinking and he did not actually care because his mind was preoccupied.

There was merit in Elenor's threat and while Hal saw it as a way to prove his goodwill to Devil Tribe, it could never stop his plans.

He would be damned if the three if a crazy woman with strength that surpassed his was all it took to overturn the course he was already on.

The best thing to do right now was to go along with her warns and what she considered to be an incentive to stop him from screwing her tribe over.

If just having territory populated was all she needed to believe him, then it was fine.

Hal's plan at the moment involved using the long-standing hatred the Dystopians have for the Haron continent against the Haron continent. He was going to facilitate the plans of the Dystopians so that they crippled the Haron Continent and made it easier for him to spread his influence.

While all this was going on, his forces both in the Haron continent and in the Dystopian continent will be unaffected and continue to get stronger while their enemies grow weaker.

The ones he wished to be affected first were the Silvas.

Already, the Sapphirine cult had gotten their attention and they had already sent warnings to the government of Sapphire city.

Before they actually could make their attempt at putting down the cult, Hal wanted them taken down a peg.

There was no way that they were Duchy rulers who dominated the Danes if they did not possess impressive strength... 

Adeline might be the future of the Silva family but she was not its present... That role most likely belonged to her Eldest brother who would still be seen as a younger generation.

That said, If he was actually serious about it, Hal could surely make his way into the family through her but as he had not made such moves already, he preferred this ongoing plan.

This plan got him an in with the Devil Tribe and would likely get him an in with the other Echelons of the Dystopian continent so that he could work on breaking them all from within and possessing their strength for his own use.

It was never too early to start planning a future of Nexus-world-wide government.

Hal contacted Kya, who had been his way into the Dystopian continent and had her move from her clan territory to the Devil Tribe.

Sassy was going to be his main representative with the Devils of the Devil tribe but she didn't plan to stay in their midst for longer than was required so Hal decided Kya would be a much more stable anchor in the Devil Tribe territory.

Getting her situated in the Devil Tribe was quite easy and so was keeping her entry into the territory completely out of all senses or sights of informants.

It was a direct use of the Harem space since she arrived, he granted her the ability to hide her foxy origins by making her a Demon. This meant she was much more under the radar and also made it so that she could benefit from the negative energy in the Devil Tribe territory.

She was now making use of a cultivation technique given to her by Hal which was tailor-made to make better use of the negative energy than even the natives possibly could.

...

The Devils had been ordered to halt all planning until the arrival of the Council representatives and it was all made very clear that the fellow with the private transportation network must also be present but Hal could not care less about their order.

He left the Devil Tribe shortly after Elenor delivered her threat. 

He had made his wish for the Silvas to be attacked known and he had no interest in being part of further deliberations.

He would return in about four days when the Council representatives finally arrive at the Devil Tribe.

He had been away from the Haron continent fur quite a while and he had a lot of unfinished business over there... Some of those businesses related to his plans and some were just for mischief but a large majority were a good mix of both.

Imperial City...

Paladin Trade Union...

The building was large and elegant which very accurately expressed the wealth and affluence of the Trade Union house under the leadership of Lucile who had taken it to new heights.

The most sales made had to be during the period of preparations to enter into the Monument of Ordinances.

Pills had been sold, Artifacts had been sold, Rune scrolls and Rune sheets had been sold... If the product had something to do with battle-prowess amping, the Paladin Trade Union had it.

During the year after her exit from the tomb, Lucile had worked hard to craft a prestigious image for the Trade Union and was reaping the fruits nicely and making partnerships with a large number of freelancing Runemasters and Alchemists.

The biggest deal they made was partnering with the Alchemist Organization headquarters in the Imperial city whose higher-ups decided to make use of the Trade Union's well-known name to push their products.

Now the Paladin Trade Union was attempting to get in with Rune Castle which was equivalent to the Alchemist Organization for Runemasters.

That was what Lucile was mostly busy with at the moment and she was not interested in any interruptions... 

... But even so, she now took a break from work to sit on the sofa in her office and stare at the blue-eyed young man calmly sipping the cultivational beverage she had served him.

It was as though Hal was completely unaware of her eyes on him and the fact that she was staring hard enough to burn a hole through his face.

The fact that Hal had come back alive from the tomb despite previous thoughts and worries that he might be dead, was already known by Lucile who was in no way out of the loop.

She knew of his arrival at the Royal Academy as well as the many things that happened after that but not once did he attempt to visit.

He had no excuse and honestly, Hal was not going to try to give one.

After he placed down the cup in his hand, he looked up at Lucile whose frown he found to be enticing, and said,

"You look at radiant as ever"

After speaking, he reached a hand out and brushed a lock of her caramel-colored hair out of her face.

Lucile said nothing as he touched her hair and only after he dropped his hand, did she open his mouth as though to speak but no words came out.

She closed her mouth, looked to the side, cleared her throat, and tried again but once again, no words came out.

She was finding it quite hard to articulate her anger in words... Especially since her longing for his touch was interfering with her ability to be properly angry.

The third time be tried, she once again closed her mouth without saying anything, and then she sighed and grabbed the front of his clothes to pull him in for a hard kiss.

The kiss was just as incredible as she remembered- And it got much better when Hal's arms wrapped around her and pulled her even harder against him until her very large breasts were squished between them.

She pulled away long enough to look into Hal's eyes and said breathlessly,

"I'm still upset" 

To which Hal chuckled with a small roll of his eyes, 

"If you say so"

Lucile resumed the kiss immediately after and their passions intensified with the removal of clothes bound to commence...
