The Rise of the Black Plain

Boom!

Shortly after Minos' attack hit the barrier raised by the defensive array of that estate, it exploded into endless pieces as if made of glass.

Meanwhile, the people in the surrounding area no longer doubt that the newcomer was indeed the notorious leader of the Black Plain!

Because of this, the destruction of that barrier was already making them tremble with fear that Minos would do the same to this place as he had done to the Walker family headquarters.

And with that, it did not take long for cries of panic to spread through that place, as the more intelligent and calm ones tried to do something about it.

"Call in all the specialists!"

"We're under attack! Hurry! Quick!"

"Ahhh! Protect the royal family with your lives!"

Such things came out of the throats of many there, reaching Minos' ears and making him smile in satisfaction.

'Hmm, very good!'

'Looks like I've scared them off enough!' He felt good realizing this, seeing that the people in this place were already close to their limits.

'Hehehehe, sometimes to get someone to follow your plans, you just need a gentle push...'

'Let me do it this time!' He thought as he smiled before finally saying out loud. "Don't worry!"

"I'm sure the Carline family command has already accepted subordination to me, so none of you are in danger!"

"Pay attention as Kara will come into my arms later..." He said, manipulating those people in his surroundings.

"What?"

"Has the family received such an ultimatum?"

"I can't believe we're going to become subordinates of the Black Plain! It's too humiliating!"

The people in the surrounding area began to spread the information that Minos had just released to them.

It was evident that these ordinary people did not know about Minos' offer to Kara and the Carline family. Consequently, these people thought that this young man was here on a bloody mission, similar to his recent exploits.

However, telling these people about such a possibility and making them believe that the command of this organization would accept such a thing was like creating a new focus of disagreement within this family!

And it did not take long for those people to see that at least part of Minos' words were not a lie.

The moment the leaders of that family in that headquarters appeared on the outskirts of Minos, Kara appeared there too, running towards him.

"Minos!" She shouted in surprise as she looked with concern at him.

She did not expect to see Minos in this place, as they had an agreement and the time for her to convince her family was not over yet. So, she did not think he would act against House Carline, even considering all the recent news.

However, after sensing the local barrier being destroyed, this woman had come to this location and spotted Minos' handsome face from afar, having felt certain insecurity in her soul.

With that, she ran towards him without worrying about the people in the surroundings, hoping to avoid any kind of fight between him and her family.

"Minos, what are you doing here? The period you gave us has not yet..." She was about to say this while approaching him when her mother, the queen, suddenly hindered her.

"What do you want here?" That level 59 woman, with black hair and a first-grade appearance, still young, said this to Minos without caring what her daughter was trying to do.

Minos was an enemy, and since he had attacked them like that, she would not stand by and do nothing.

But Kara could not stand by and listen to her mother's tone. No, she could not let any misunderstanding happen between them, so she just shut up and ran into Minos' embrace.

"Oh?" Some people in the surrounding area sounded surprised, seeing the affectionate way Kara treated the enemy that threatened the existence of this family.

'Hehehe, I didn't even have to do much...' Minos smiled as he slid his fingers around Kara's slender waist.

Meanwhile, the subordinates from before were looking at that with eyes and mouths open, shocked at how intimate Kara was with the most feared enemy in the region.

On the other hand, the queen made a strange expression upon seeing this, feeling that she had failed to educate her daughter. "Kara, what do you think you are doing?"

"That person is the enemy of your family!"

"How can you let him touch your body like that? Aren't you ashamed of embarrassing your whole family?" She asked as her face turned completely red with anger.

"Mom, you already know everything, so you don't have to act like this!" Kara said aloud, not caring about the people in the surrounding area. 

She then looked Minos straight into his eyes and asked. "Why have you come here? I hope you won't do something against your own promises."

Minos then smiled at the beauty in his arms and directed one of his hands to this woman's left cheek, massaging it slowly. "Of course, I will not dishonor my promises..."

"It was just that I was in the vicinity and heard that you were here, so I decided to stop by your place to pay a visit."

"Maybe spend a night or two..." He softly said as he brought his lips close to this woman's left ear.

At the same time, he used his other hand to squeeze her waist in a way that Kara could not confuse his intentions.

"That..." Kara looked at him strangely, feeling that it was inappropriate to do such a thing. But still, she could not help but feel better about it.

Such a thing was not a bad idea, as she had truly enjoyed her time with Minos in Dry City. At the same time, this could prevent more significant problems, so she already imagined that perhaps this was the best development for a visit from this young man to her family.

"What do you think?" Minos asked her as his breath made Kara's bare neck quickly shiver. 

She then turned to her surroundings and looked at her mother, "Mother, please don't do anything."

"Minos is only here for me. The family is in no danger!"

"What?"

"How can you say that, Kara?"

"Don't you see the barrier destroyed by him? He is attacking us!" The queen bellowed in anger, feeling that she had failed as a mother.

"I only did this because your subordinates did not let me in peacefully, nor did they communicate to Kara about my visit..."

"So, I did my own way in," Minos said calmly, just before he made a move, raising Kara into his arms in a split second.

"I don't want to fight today, so I hope you guys aren't too dumb to attack me."

"Now, if you excuse me, I have a business to attend to with this lady!" He said without any shame in his speech, making that woman blush deeply. At the same time, every single person in the surrounding area felt that this was a dream, or rather, a nightmare.

"Where is the royal throne hall?" Minos asked the beauty in his arms, smiling maliciously.

Gulp!

"Minos..."

"No!"

"Come on, Kara, it will be fun!" He said this while trying to convince this woman to do such a thing in her father's official space.

"If you do such a thing, I promise to fulfill one of your wishes in the future."

"Is that so?" She asked as her white eyes sparkled.

"Hmm, as long as it's nothing like nullifying my requirements for that deal, I'll accept anything."

"That..." She said doubtfully, before being silent for a moment, wondering how good that would be or not.

'Never mind. We'll already do this anyway, so I'd better fulfill his desire and at least gain favor in return!'

'At least I'll have something to reverse some bad decisions of my family in the future!' She made up her mind to 'sacrifice' herself for the greater good as her body grew hotter and hotter from the thought of doing this in her father's workplace.

"Follow that path..." She then gave him the directions.

Meanwhile, Kara's mother stood in the same place as before, utterly shocked at how her daughter had handled this situation, embarrassed and afraid.

'No!'

'How can something like this be happening!' She shook with anger, preparing to run towards Minos.

"Your Majesty, what shall we do now?" One of the elders there asked worriedly, fearing that the queen would do something stupid.

He did not want to see the princess sacrifice herself for them. Still, he also did not want to end up like several other individuals from House Walker who had fallen to Minos.

Hell, none of them were much better than those dead people!

How would they escape Minos in such a situation?

But the queen ignored that individual from before and followed in Minos' footsteps, intending to stop him even if it cost her life.
