Chapter 28: 28

“You look quite good in those clothes. It makes me wonder why your husband betrayed you when he has such beauty in front of him”

Daniel complimented without holding back.

“Thank you, master…but if you want to look even more or wish to go ‘further’…then I don’t mind…”

Fresia walked closer to him and flirted.

“Though I don’t mind, what about your husband? What’s going to happen to your family now that they have abandoned you?”

He questioned while wanting to know her thoughts about this, and he wasn’t worried if she had feelings for her husband.

“My husband? Family? I think master is mistaking them for somebody else. I don’t think I ever recall having a family…unless master wants to start one with me…?”

Daniel lifted his eyebrow at her words. He wanted to laugh as he felt pity for her husband, in correction, he felt pity for somebody she used to know.

For Fresia, she had thrown her family out of her heart and though it is cruel, they were the ones who betrayed her. Thus, she has no feelings for them, not even her children.

She had abandoned every single love for them, and all of the memories she spent with them no longer exist in her mind.

And if she needs to kill them to satisfy her master, she would obey without any thoughts as her belief in him is growing stronger each minute.

“I don’t mind starting a family, but my dear disciple, we would save it for another time as now, there are things that I need to settle. But that doesn’t mean I would ignore my love…”

He held her cheeks and kissed her lips without any hesitation. Although Fresia was stunned, she accepted the kiss by replying with a strong one.

*Heavily Breathing*

They kissed for a minute before separating their lips which creates a string of saliva between them.

“Master…” She had a fervent gaze in her eyes like the shape of a heart.

“Follow me, my disciple, you’ll meet your sisters to which I’m going to invite them to my sect, and you’re my strongest evidence that would help convince them”

“Yes, my master and I would follow wherever you go” She replied with an overwhelming obsession tone.

Daniel didn’t make a move toward Cecilia because he thought she needed a little bit more time since she had just entered a whole different world from the beggar she used to be.

On the other hand, he couldn’t spend time with Elizabeth because he felt the urgency in completing the mission so he could bring the World Tree, the Immortal Peach, and the Golden Divinities out.

“Fresia, what do you think of the Jazz Family? I’ve heard that they’re looking for a man to marry her daughter who’s unable to cultivate and unable to walk”

He questioned while they were walking outside after leaving the mansion. Zuke had told Daniel about the current situation for the Jazz Noble Family, and he couldn’t help but decide it as his 2nd target.𝐞𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝗺

“Since master is looking for a disciple. I believe it would be an honor and a life-changing moment for their daughter. Moreover, I think it’s an opportunity to obtain a noble title from them”

“What does it mean to have a noble title?”

“It’s simple master. In total, there are 10 Noble Families in the City Of Cetra which are the Tristan, Maze, Romenia, Brancil, Jazz, Viston, Chaser, Pilio, Urek, and Qaer”

“These are the 10 Noble Families that oversee and manage the City, and each of them controls a certain amount of land and markets. Moreover, their authorities are absolute”

“Hence, if master could obtain the title of nobility from the Jazz Family, it would be a great opportunity in spreading the influence of our sect”

“Think about it master. What would the people think if you were able to turn the heir of jazz into a heaven-defying genius with just a click of a finger?”

“There’s no doubt the trust in the sect would grow and having the noble title would perhaps play a part. Moreover, it’ll also increase Master’s influence in other cities”

“I see. Thanks to you, I got a quick understanding of this city. But how many sects are there in the city?”

Daniel finds this question important because he foresees that no matter how peaceful his sect is, the others wouldn’t remain silent.

“There are only 5 Grade 2 Sects and most of the people in the city would rather seek outside for a better quality sect. However, the requirement is harder compared to our city which is why the city is ranked at the bottom”

She had a dejected look but soon it became positive when thinking about her master.

“Then, for now, we’ll head to the location where the Jazz Family lives and I need your help in leading the way”

“No problem master!” She excitedly led the way to where the Jazz Family was. Along the way, some people recognized the Matriarch and all of them couldn’t help but whisper to themselves which will cause a rumor that eventually, problems will chase Daniel.

“We have reached the place master” She announced.

“Is there by chance you can call them out? It’s not like I can just enter as I did to your mansion” He chuckled to which she smiled.

Heeding his words, she approached the gate where guards were protecting the entrance, and when the guards saw a certain person that they recognized, they panicked.

“L-Lady Fresia!? T-To what pleasure does the Jazz Family have for your sudden visit? Do you perhaps have a meeting with the Patriarch?”

One of the guards said politely. At the same time, he made eye contact with the other guard as a signal in calling the Patriarch.

“Hahaha, surely you jest. I’m no longer the matriarch, but that’s not what’s important. What’s important is that the master behind me could change the life of your heir, and I can vouch for my name for that”

The Guard gazed at Daniel with a suspicious gaze, however, he couldn’t ignore the words of the Matriarch as her position is the same as their Patriarch.

‘Even if she has lost her family power to the Pilio Family, she still retains her nobility and that’s something that, I, a small guard could not just ignore’ He thought with a sweat dripping off his chin.
