"Wha...what happened?" Kurtis was taken aback. Rebecca was still floating in her earlier position, so who punched him so hard that a burning hole got blasted into his stomach?
Alert rose in his heart, and all blood in his face faded to white.
Just who was it?
Kiba’s eyes flickered with surprise.
From Kurtis, he moved his eyes down by fifty kilometers to the ground. There, Lord Harley stood with his fist raised, ripples of fire moving around.
His face was filled with righteous anger, suiting him given the revelations so far.
"This crafty old fox!" Kiba cursed in his heart. "No wonder he is the family head!"
Rebecca tilted her head and gazed at Lord Harley. Even as she looked at him, Lord Harley made a punching motion in the air, and a resounding boom echoed, pounding through the hearts of everyone in the vicinity.
Simultaneously, an arrow of blood sprayed out of Kurtis as a hole burst through his c.h.e.s.t. Now, like a kite with a broken string, he came crashing down.
On the ground, everyone in walking distance of Lord Harley trembled. Their pupils had already shrunk into the size of a pinpoint, terrorized by the frightening might of Lord Harley.
He was so far away, and yet he literally crushed an Alpha! Not even Kiba had obliterated an Alpha with such ease!
So just how strong was he?!
Lord Harley didn’t stop. He raised his fist to punch, but then his eyes moved to the side as he noticed a blue glow closing onto him.
A whirlpool of fire was approaching him at rapid speed!
He used his raised fist to punch the whirlpool, splitting it apart from inside. The split fire crashed all around him, causing the ground to melt and disintegrate.
"Rebecca!"
"No need to act smart, Harley," Rebecca replied coldly. "Your tricks won’t help you in protecting him."
As she said, her figure blurred with a blue hue, and she appeared over Kurtis, who was shooting towards the ground.
Kurtis’ eyes squinted. His regeneration ability had already activated, and new flesh mass was bubbling up inside his holes.
But seeing Rebecca, his new flesh twisted from fear.
And he realized what happened so far.
Lord Harley was trying to save him by punishing him for his crimes! It would be painful, but he would have lived!
Now though...
His eyes curved up, and his expression turned maddening.
F.u.c.k fear!
I can’t fear anything!
"Bitch! I’m not afraid of you!"
Kurtis howled as all the resentment and rage inside him turned into power. He burned his blood, turning it into crimson flames that seeped out of his pores.
"You turned my life into hell!"
Kurtis shouted and swung his arm out.
"And you still have the nerves to target me just because I tried to erase your sin!?"
Like a crescent blade, flames flooded out of his swinging arm as it approached Rebecca. She lifted her beautiful palm and pushed it forward, blocking the arm.
"Argh!" Kurtis grunted in pain. He felt as if a giant boulder has smashed his arm, causing the flames to tear apart and his bones to snap.
He was left trembling.
She was stronger than he ever expected.
And for the first time, he wondered if the rumors of her approaching close to Level IX were true.
At the same time, as his arm fell, Rebecca lifted her other hand and wrapped it with blue flames. She narrowed her hand into the form of a claw and thrust it at his head.
"!!"
Kurtis’ pupils dilated in terror. He felt death close, and it turned into a raging fuel that channeled through his veins.
BOOOM
The phantom of a flaming tiger burst out of him and came viciously down on the approaching hand.
"You have the phantom of a Tiger!? How!?"
In the distance, Kiba exclaimed in surprise.
Kurtis shook from anger. Simultaneously, his phantom was affected, as its strength fluctuated by his mood.
BANG!
A deafening bang echoed, and the hand was pushed down, and it stopped—Albeit, only for a brief moment. The blue flames engulfed the tiger, and it disintegrated.
Her hand moved, now approaching his c.h.e.s.t.
On the ground, Lord Harley finally facepalmed.
Kurtis was furious and channeling his potential, but he wasn’t using his brains at all.
Instead of using his divine abilities, he was using petty moves that were neither flashy nor powerful!
What’s worse, he was even affected by the taunts of a foreign party in the middle of a fight!
Just how someone so dumb can be an Alpha?
It was just like the Soverigness Hestia warned. The decline of the family would happen due to the golden spoons she was leaving behind.
Not like Rebecca would have been affected even if Kurtis didn’t have a golden spoon. Her hand slammed onto his c.h.e.s.t, and the sound of bones cracking echoed out. Her fingers dug there, and she pulled his flesh out.
Blood sprayed out, and Kurtis was knocked back like a broken star.
KA-BANG!
He slammed into the fountain below, crashing inside the water. The water instantly turned into mist, and the entire structure broke down from shockwaves.
The ground around rocked over, as if toppled by a giant.
"Damnit!" Kurtis swore as he began to rise from the debris.
BAM!
Before he could, a heel smacked his forehead, and he crashed back.
Rebecca straightened her leg, standing above the debris.
"Whether my child is a sign of sin or virtue, you aren’t the one who gets to decide it," Rebecca said coldly. "And as for your life, you made it hell and not me."
Kurtis grounded his teeth and jumped out, lashing straight on her. Rebecca snorted coldly and kicked out.
Far away, Lord Harley let out a sigh.
"No other way to save him then use her."
He turned in the direction of Kirstie’s room. She was sitting near the window, her face crestfallen as she tried to observe the battle. But she wasn’t able to notice everything due to the super speed of her mom and dad.
High in the sky, as Lord Harley brought his eyes on Kirstie, Kiba smirked. Getting his hands on Constance’s t.i.t.s, he couldn’t help but remark, "How unsurprising!"
With Constance, he rushed down like a bolt of lightning and landed before Lord Harley.
"Dr. NTR."
Lord Harley greeted him with a smile. While his presence was a bit unexpected, it wasn’t enough to startle him.
"Lord Harley." Kiba nodded while fondling Constance’s cute b.r.e.a.s.ts.
"I’m aware you have the means to kill me, but you didn’t. Furthermore, given your clan’s powers, you must have the means to stop me, but again, you didn’t. Naturally, that means I should thank you for giving me Constance."
"What?" Lord Harley was surprised.
In the distance, even Steve and others were surprised. While they were far away, with their extraordinary senses, hearing at such range was no problem even with the sound of battle.
"But of course, I know I don’t have to thank you," Kiba said while tweaking Constance’s hard n.i.p.p.l.es. "After all, this is your way of making sure we are even."
"Ahh!" Constance m.o.a.n.e.d, taken aback by the feeling jostling in her. She was terrified yet also turned on by m.o.a.ning before the most powerful person she has known.
"I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean."
Lord Harley replied while ignoring Constance’s m.o.a.ns and her delicious body.
"I’m obviously referring to the attack on my tower."
Kiba responded with a warm smile.
"Dracon Moonfall tried to destroy my tower and those I care about."
Lord Harley’s face fell, but he quickly regained his composure, making sure none noticed it.
Just after Kiba arrived in the mansion, he learned Kiba knew he sent Dracon Moonfall.
So that wasn’t what changed his mood and made him lose composure.
It was the fact that Kiba said it aloud... and someone he didn’t wish to hear the name of Dracon Moonfall.
Rebecca!
Over two years ago, when she went to Delta City, she was forced to return abruptly due to Kirstie’s condition. And someone used that to his advantage to target Dream Rise House.
Naturally, it was Dracon Moonfall — Someone whom Rebecca wanted to find and kill.
Now hearing the name, her head snapped back.
Kiba seemed to be oblivious of everything.
Pulling Constance to him, he continued, "In return for what you did, I’m taking your clan’s daughter-in-law. We’re even now!"
Saying this, a column of power Cosmic enveloped him and Constance. The column shot up into the sky, leaving behind a streak of twinkling stars.
Rebecca’s eyes narrowed, and she stared at Lord Harley.
"Dracon Moonfall works for you?!"
Lord Harley didn’t respond. But internally, he did something he hasn’t done in ages.
"That damn son-of-a-bitch!"
He cursed Kiba, his mother, and all his family.
