Asura Conqueror

Chapter 79: Tanaw

Marcus coughed. He placed the glass back on the table and looked at Emily. He raised his right hand that was balled to his mouth and cleared his throat.

"Do you see me as the person who does those kinds of activities?" Marcus chuckled.

Emily tilted her head. "Well, you are a prince."

"Hey, not all princes are like that. I, for example, am a gentleman." Marcus proudly puffed his chest, but there was a tinge of melancholy in his eyes.

Emily who noticed this, asked, "Are you okay?"

Marcus shook his head. "I'm fine."

"Good evening, here is your order." The waiter handed out Emily's food first and then Marcus'.

Emily took a bite of the sweet and sour fish that she ordered. The fish was of course not a normal fish. It was a rank 5 beast. Though it's only around 6 inches long, the sharpness of its teeth could prove deadly to early-stage Commanders.

Emily swallowed. The fish slid down her throat, the taste lingered in her mouth.

"It's delicious!" She exclaimed. It really was top-quality food. She also didn't have to worry about the bones, as they have already been removed in the kitchen by the chef.

"Indeed." For Marcus, this tasted pretty common. His definition of top-quality is quite different after all. Still, compared to other mortal realm dishes he tasted so far, the shrimp and fish he's eating right now are one of the few that sits on top.

Emily paused as the sea breeze blew. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Marcus smiled. The big reason why he chose this restaurant was that it was beside a body of water. His Emily loved being close to one.

Emily opened her eyes. "You must think I'm weird."

"Nope, we all enjoy a relaxing breeze, but some of us enjoy it much more than others. Similar to Nexus and his addiction to watching series and movies." Marcus knows that Nexus loved almost all kinds of entertainment in his last life, he just didn't expect him to be addicted to mortal kind of entertainment.

"Speaking of Nexus, are he and my sister dating?" Emily wondered about their relationship. Both Nexus and Eva never showed direct intimacy when she was around so she's not sure if they were in a relationship.

"I don't know. It might be complicated so it's best if you leave it to them." Marcus had seen them dance like this ever since during his past life.

"Is he a good person?" Emily didn't want her sister to end up getting hurt. She wanted to make sure that Nexus isn't the type of person who would leave right away after eating.

"Your question is pretty broad. Could you narrow it down?" Marcus took a sip of the wine beside his plate.

Emily thought for a second. "Would he leave my sister?"

Marcus placed the wine glass down."The universe would first have to run out of mana, and even then, he would still not stop loving your sister. So you don't have to worry. She's in good hands."

Emily sighed with relaxation. That's one less thing she had to worry about.

"Now that we're on this kind of topic. Do you have any plans on having a relationship?" Marcus smiled.

Emily's jolted. The underlying meaning of this question was clear.

She nodded. "I am actually. Now that I am no longer living a harsh life, I wouldn't mind being with someone. I am a woman after all."

"Are you sure that meeting me is not the reason why you now want to be in a relationship?" A playful smile arced up Marcus' face.

"Shameless!" Emily's cheeks turned red.

A person who sat behind Emily around 2 meters away, loudly scoffed.

Emily slightly turned her head to look at the person, but in the end, she just turned back.

Marcus also didn't want to waste his energy dealing with those kinds of people, as long as they don't go overboard of course.

Emily looked at the sea, not minding the person anymore. "I'm already starting to miss Kellar."

"We can go back soon after the school year ends. I'm also starting to miss Jericho's Diner. The dishes we brought from that restaurant were already gobbled up by Nexus." Marcus tried to comfort her as he could tell that Emily was quite homesick.

"So Big Sis brought you two to that place." As Eva's sister, Emily knew where Jericho's Diner is. She, just like her older sister, also loves that place.

"I was genuinely surprised that their food tasted that good." Marcus was not lying when he said that he liked the sauce with nuggets there.

"The reason that place has a really big spot in my sister and I's heart is because when we were in our early teens, the owner of Jericho's Diner would give us free breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening. I'm not sure how we would have survived those tough times if it weren't for that." Emily had a bright smile on her face as she recalled those times where her sister and she were hardly making enough for themselves.

Marcus was surprised by the revelation. For him, this is a debt that must be repaid.

Marcus composed himself"I never imagined it to be like that. I thought Big Sis just bumped randomly bumped into that restaurant and decided to try it. Like how we randomly bumped into each other in the past, the only difference I haven't tried you yet."

"Aren't you embarrassed? People might hear you. I'm not as shameless as you are." Emily shyly spoke.

Marcus chuckled. He was done with waiting for Emily's memories to come back. His plan now is to make her fall for him again. He was sure that it would be a lot easier than the first time.

"Didn't you use to have a cat?" Emily changed the topic.

"Of all the things Big Sis told you, she didn't mention that even once?" Marcus thought Emily knew and she just uncomfortable talking about it.

Emily tilted her head, clearly puzzled.

"Nexus was the cat you met a while back. Come to think of it he has never changed back into one for quite some time now." Marcus did know that Nexus wasn't a fan of turning into a cat unless it's absolutely necessary.

"Nexus? You mean he has magic that can transform him into one?" Emily wasn't new to the concept of Transformation magic, she has actually seen quite a few. She also studied about this in the past.

"Hmm, not exactly." Marcus lowered his voice. "He's half beast."

Emily's mouth was left agape after hearing Marcus' second sentence. She couldn't believe what she just heard.

"Not something you encounter everyday huh?" Marcus fixed his spoon and fork. He just finished his food and was now stuffed.

"There really are a lot of things I still need to know." Emily shook her head as she took in the fact that Nexus is an offspring of a human and a beast.

"Aren't there human myths where beasts bred with humans?" Marcus read a lot about these. Hell, he has seen a couple of said beasts in the heavenly realm when parties would be held in their empire, and guests from other places would come and visit.
