Chapter 215: Not A Joke...
At first, I assumed that the Cultivator was pulling a prank, or doing her own experiment; rather than something bad. Unfortunately for me, those lofty possibilities flew out the window at the exact moment that Guanyu started pilling the strongest members of our group into the room with me, also tied up with Spirit Chains.
These chains were unbreakable, and so was the cloth that was put around our mouths, blocking our speech. Of course, we could easily talk without moving our mouths, but, Guanyu took that into account; these gags restricted our power completely. Mana, Pure Mana, Divinity…nothing was usable. Hell, even Nemu and her mother were present…
Runeth: “Well, the most dangerous ones are captured. That just leaves Celia. Honestly, I’m surprised that she hasn’t noticed us doing all this…” She mused with a relieved tone.
Every bound person: “???”
Guanyu: “Worry not, she and I had a…very pleasant time of intimacy earlier. As such, Celia is currently sleeping off the fatigue from the bed activities, and won’t be waking up anytime soon.” She replied with a calm expression.
Runeth: “That makes this far easier. Thanks for helping me, Mom.” She said with a bright smile.
A double betrayal?! Is what I would say if this was a shitty drama-filled story. Regardless of how intense the in-house kidnapping was, I’m confident that these two have good reasons for restraining us. For one, Runeth is far below Guanyu in strength, and neither woman would ever betray Celia.
That being said, I can’t really even begin to fathom what the point of doing this is. Only those with the highest Statuses were taken, no one else. Even still, I remained (mostly) calm, and so did the others. Mainly due to the trust we share between us all.
Runeth: “You’re willing to do anything to save your wife, right? A rhetorical question, I know.” She asked after walking over to me, the gag soon falling down from my mouth; though, my body was still restrained.
Vulely: “How is she in danger?” Was all I replied with, her question not needing an answer from me.
Guanyu: “It’s tied to your little discovery, what Runeth intentionally leaked to you. Power wise, you weren’t a problem, but your narration position was tricky. Making you distracted was required for our plan, and, Vulely, you even gifted yourself right to me.” She explained with a haughty tone.
Runeth: “Right. If we tipped you off too soon, fleeing to that private realm of yours…we’d be screwed. You’d likely rat us out to Celia within the hour.” She added with a relieved tone once more.
Vulely: “…”
Runeth: “Girl, at least try to add some drama to this scene.” She deadpanly pleaded.
Vulely: “…”
After staring my daughter down for a few minutes, she relented on her desire to be cheeky, having a chance to act like a villain. Though, my restraints remained, and the now silently scolded girl was inwardly deciding if letting me go would be a good or bad choice…
