Asura Conqueror

Chapter 103: Kin Strongwald

"Any ideas on what we should do?" Nexus poured himself a drink.

Marcus, who sat on a chair behind the desk, slightly looked up. He then sighed. "We'll let them make the first move. I'm sure they won't do something big."

Nexus nodded. He downed the drink in his hand and poured himself another one.

"Should we join the girls?" Nexus asked.

"You can if you want," Marcus stood up. "I need to go cultivate."

He walked out of the study and headed towards the training room. His mind was playing the scene where Bong threatened them. It planted a seed of worry in him.

'Just what are they planning?' Marcus thought as he sat cross-legged in the training room.

As Marcus closed his eyes, he mumbled. "Whatever it is, we'll be able to handle it."

----

The sky brightened. Bird-like creatures flew in the sky and the smaller ones were perched up on trees, chirping.

Eva, Emily, and Zoey were all seated at the dining table. 

They chatted about the events that happened last night. About how Eva ruthlessly made Lopard a deal. 

"What will you two do today?" Eva asked as she ate breakfast.

"Why don't we train?" Emily suggested.

Zoey thought for a while. "I do have a competition coming up in a couple of months. Alright, let's do it."

Eva smiled. "We could do it in the backyard and ask Nexus to set up a formation around the place where we'll fight."

Emily nodded. She thought that by making Zoey will recover her memories once she breaks through. Zoey had been one of her closest friends in her past life and she wants her to go with them back to the realm above the heavens.

There was also one thing that she wanted to ask once Zoey got her memories back.

Emily wanted to ask how Zoey died. 

After Emily got together with Marcus, their relationship was still the same, they were still really close friends, albeit they didn't see each other physically all the time. 

The reason why Emily was sure of Zoey being the same as the one in her past life is because of the connection. The slight connection she felt was similar to how it was with Marcus.

Eva stood up. She brought her plates to the sink and went back to the table. "Should we start?"

Emily, who was lost in thought, was brought back by Eva's voice. She then slightly nodded and turned her head towards Zoey who was already standing.

----

Nexus finished setting the formation. He touched his lower back with his hands and pushed it forward. "You ladies should compensate me for this."

The women chuckled. Eva walked towards him, cupped his face, and planted her sweet lips on his.

Nexus moved his hands to her ass. He squeezed with his left and slapped with his right.

Eva backed her head as the slap hit her tightened ass, a soft sounding yelp came out of her mouth.

Nexus chuckled. He let her go and began walking away.

Eva slightly glared at him. She then went back to the two ladies who were amused by what they saw.

----

Inside a large two-story mansion.

"Damnit!" Senator Bong's voice echoed throughout the living room. He stomped his right foot on the dark-yellow carpet, His gold-colored robes swayed

"Call my son, tell him to come here right away!" He roared. 

One of the two people who were standing inside the living room sprinted towards the place where the son of Senator Bong is staying.

Senator Bong's brows furrowed. He had to do something since he already threatened the owner of Asura.

He already read the reports about how the company that he invested in is doing ever since 'The Corner' opened. His head was filled with anger when he saw it. What would happen two months from now? What would happen if Asura starts distributing? 

The drinks and clubs he invested in would fall apart. Asura's would turn into the staple provider of drinks in Estra. Everyone would turn to the cheaper and better drink.

Two sets of footsteps came rushing towards the living room.

The man who left came back together with the person who looks to be around 20 years old. 

The man bowed his head and walked back to where he stood before.

Senator Bong looked at the person who the man brought.

Kin Strongwald, the son of Senator Bong Strongwald is a second-year student at Estra University. He had been notorious for going in and out of multiple clubs in one night ever since he turned 18.

Kin Strongwald fixed his short blond hair and walked towards Bong. "Dad, what is?"

"Put your fame to good use. I want you to go to 'The Corner' and ruin their reputation." Senator Bong spoke to his son.

Kin's eyes widened. "'The Corner'? Do you mean the one owned by Asura? That's, not going to be easy."

How could he easily ruin a place that's being covered by every single news channel right now?

He's famous, yes. However, how can his fame compare to a company that's being backed by three of the five big families. 

Senator Bong glared at his son "I don't care how you do it, just finish the job! It's the least you can do for all the years I've fed you." 

"But Dad," Kin wanted to argue. "It's just not possible!"

"Use that troublemaking brain of yours." Senator Bong pointed at Kin's head. "Make your move as soon as possible. Bring your friends, I'll reward them handsomely after you mutts pull this off!"

Senator Bong had blind faith in his son, he knew that Kin could pull this off.

Kin Strongwald hopelessly nodded. He couldn't fight against his father. The last time he did, he was grounded for a week or so.

Kin sighed "I'll see what I can do. Just give me time to prepare." 

Senator Bong nodded. "You have twenty-four hours."

'Fuck!' Kin strongly cursed his father in his head. On the outside, however, he just nodded and walked away.

"Make me proud!" Senator Bong shouted from behind.

----

Beads of sweat rolled down Marcus' head. There were five portals close to him that were open. They slowly moved around the room, going further and further away from him.

He created one that was close to him and then jumped into it. He then exited to one of the moving portals in the room. Marcus continued this until he finished jumping into each and every one of the portals.

With this, he's able to practice control and he'll also be able to get used to the spell at faster speeds.

Marcus took a deep breath. He had been fully focused on getting stronger, losing track of how long he'd been training.

He got his watch from his pocket dimension and checked the time.

'It's already Monday. That was quick.' Marcus thought as he exited the stone and entered the shower in his room.

He went down and saw Emily, Eva, Zoey, and Nexus.

Zoey was currently having a conversation with Nexus and Eva.

"Good morning," He greeted. 

Emily smiled and signaled him to take a seat beside her which he did.

"What were you guys doing yesterday?" Marcus asked as he placed food on his plate.

"Fun things," Emily curtly said.

Marcus chuckled. "Oh, like what?"

Emily took a sip from the glass of water near her table and spoke. "We trained the whole day and at night we went out to eat at a restaurant."

"Was Nexus with you?" Marcus began eating.

"What do you think?" Emily looked at Marcus.

Marcus thought for a second before shaking his head.

Emily chuckled.

Marcus turned to Zoey. "How was your stay here?"

Zoey, who was chatting with Eva and Nexus, looked at him. She then told him about how wonderful it was having people to talk to.

"Big Sis Eva and Emily treated me as if I was their sister." Zoey showed a bright smile.

Marcus nodded. He pieced together what Emily was planning to do.

"Will you still teach at Estra University?" Marcus turned his attention back to his woman.

Emily immediately shook her head. "Never again."

She had always hated interacting with people with whom she had no connections. 

Marcus was happy with her answer. Now she can focus on cultivating. The faster she and everyone get stronger, the better.

Their real fight was not here in the mortal realm but in the two realms above it. They have no business in staying here once they get stronger. Marcus also had to hurry as his empire was in danger. 

Marcus finished his food just like everyone else.

Zoey had to go home so she said goodbye after eating breakfast.

Nexus and Eva went to the company.

Marcus and Emily stayed home.

Marcus didn't want to go to school today. He thought that he'll just return when he feels like it.

Alone in the house, Marcus turned to Emily.

With a smile on his face, he asked. "Want to do 'fun things'?"
