Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 93: Reen's Confession

Alu gritted his teeth a few times when he saw Elizabeth's name.

The fact that she could kill someone who was ranked third among the strongest geniuses with a lower cultivation proved her strength.

Without trying it, even Alu wasn't sure he could do it.

Alu really felt uncomfortable seeing someone who wanted to kill him grow stronger and stronger.

Elizabeth's strength may not be enough to kill him. However, what worries Alu is that at their next meeting he is still the one to lose.

The thought of himself running away once again in front of Elizabeth made Alu want to vomit blood in anger.

"It's not about whether I truly have the determination to get rid of this one threat. The real issue is whether I even have the strength to do so." Alu said to himself.

He had such an attainment now because he had a Phoenix soul. But Elizabeth also has a dragon soul.

Of course, that's not the only factor.

There are other things too like personality and determination.

However, although his personality and determination are well honed under his father's tutelage, then what about Elizabeth who lives with grudges and hatred. In terms of mentality, even Alu doesn't dare to say he's better than Elizabeth.

After all, in this world, there was definitely no better incentive than revenge and hatred.

When Alu tried to calm himself down, Rena was beside him suddenly talking.

"So that's the woman who wanted to kill you. She has a lovely name."

When Alu turned his gaze towards Rena, he found Rena already staring at him with a cynical expression.

"Alu, I thought you deserved such a terrible and dangerous enemy." She said in a mocking tone.

Rena's words no doubt made Alu's already very bad mood even worse and worse.

What's more, Alu somehow felt there was a hidden implication to Rena's words.

"What do you mean, Miss Rena?" Alu asked with narrowed eyes.

He even returned to add the word miss when calling her.

And Rena also doesn't seem to mind the way Alu calls her.

She then answered Alu in a cold tone.

"Alu, look at you. How can you now hide your bad intentions against me." She says.

When she spoke, a cold aura began to rippling from her body.

Roux and Rena who knew there would be a conflict immediately jumped behind Alu while two of Rena's followers also jumped behind Rena.

Quickly, the atmosphere around them turned cold.

When Alu heard Rena's answer, he immediately knew what she meant.

"Oh." Alu then smiled as he looked at Rena. "So now you know that I will not pay you... Then what will you do? Are you going to force me?"

Alu smiled mockingly.

Since everything has been revealed and previously Rena also said that she would move on her own after she arrived at the central area, then Alu no longer planned to hide his bad intentions.

"One Nirvana spiritual weapon for such small assistance. Hmph." Alu snorted. "Rena, you're too greedy."

This time Alu didn't add the word miss.

Of course, if previously it was a sign of closeness and adding the word miss was a formality, then now is alienation.

Even though Alu likes Rena quite a lot, he doesn't hesitate when they become enemies. After all, Rena was not like Elizabeth who had a past with him.

"No matter what, I won't give you a single spiritual weapon Nirvana." Alu said one more time.

After saying that, a spiritual aura started emitting from Alu's body.

Previously Rena said if he didn't pay, she would forcefully charge him. Now Alu is ready to fight.

However, to Alu's surprise, after his words, Rena's expression that was previously cold suddenly calmed down.

That change in expression made Alu utterly shocked. It was as if the previous expression was just pretense.

? Alu

"We won't owe each other any more from now on." Rena said.

? Alu

Rena's words made Alu confused.

"What do you mean?" Alu asked.

"Didn't I say it before. The reason why I can comprehend the law of killing is because there was one moment in the past that motivated me." Rena replied.

When he heard Rena's words, Alu couldn't help but squint.

"You mean?" Alu asked one more time.

When they spoke in the independent world before, Alu was already a little suspicious.

"That's right... At that time, when I had just arrived at the continent of Holy Light, I had seen you commit a great massacre. Your indifference when doing that was what motivated me and changed all my views." Rena said in a calm tone.

"..." Alu

He committed massacres too often when he was young, and did not know which massacre Rena was referring to.

Besides, he was always undercover when carrying out massacres. He did not think that Rena would really recognize him.

"I can comprehend the law of killing because of my changed outlook. It can be said it's thanks to you, Alu." Rena continued while Alu was still surprised.

"Of course, it's only a small boost. What I am achieving today is still due to my own hard work. I don't owe you too much, and my previous assistance was sufficient to pay what I owe you."

"..."

"Oh, I see." Alu nodded. "I really didn't think that one of my little actions could give birth to an existence like yours, Rena."

In his heart, Alu felt a little regret for not being able to take advantage of Rena's debt properly.

"But, well, I didn't even know that."

Alu shook his head. He quickly threw away his regret.

Alu then looked at Rena and said.

"So, Miss Rena, what are you going to do next?"

Now that they don't owe one another, Alu wonders what Rena's attitude to him.

"You don't hold grudges because I plan on not paying for your help, do you?" Alu asked.

"Heh." Rena suddenly smiled after she heard Alu's words.

She shook her head and said. "Alu, do you think everyone is as petty as you."

"I know your personality quite well. Even though you are so much more petty than I thought that you even refuse to pay when asking other people for help."

"But this is the attitude I expected." She added.

"Of course, the next time you want my help, don't think you can do it without paying first. And I won't be generous next time."

"...."

Alu fell silent after hearing Rena's answer.

A few moments later, Alu looked at Rena again.

His lips curved slightly as he looked at Rena.

The fact that Rena wasn't angry at all really surprised Alu.

He couldn't believe Rena wasn't angry just because she wasn't a petty person like him. Even a kind person will get angry if cheated.

There is clearly something more why Rena is not angry.

And the extra words that Rena spoke.

Alu started to notice something when he thought about it.

Alu's gaze at Rena started to get weird.

"Now Miss Rena, I really want to know one thing. Do you like me?"

"..."

The expressions of the two people behind Alu and behind Rena turned strange when they heard Alu's question.

However, Rena didn't change her expression. And she calmly answered Alu's question.

"Now you realize it."

Her eyes were fixed on Alu's as she spoke.

She then continued. "I like you for your attitude and personality."

"You changed my view when I was in a downturn. Since then, I have always considered you as my role model."

"So what if everyone hates and curses you. You can ignore them without feeling the least bit uncomfortable. That attitude is what makes me like you."

"..." Alu

Even though he had expected it, Alu was still surprised by Rena's answer.

Alu is used to seeing women who like him. However, to be liked by a woman like Rena still made Alu feel strange.

"But Alu, don't think too far." Rena spoke again while Alu was still surprised.

"It's just liking." She says.

"So don't think you can take advantage or use me. I'm not the kind of little woman who would surrender to a man."

"I might not hate you if you tricked me. But if it comes at an advantage or an opportunity in life, just this feeling of liking won't be able to stop me."

"I'm sure you understand because you're someone like that too."

"I'll say it one more time. If you want help from me, you will have to pay a good price."

"Even if there is a day where I truly love you, I still won't change my attitude."

"I might lose my law of killing if I did otherwise."

"I don't plan to sacrifice myself or put myself under someone even if that person is the man I love."

"If both of us are in danger where only one of us can live, the one who dies must be you, Alu."

After saying that, Rena turned away from Alu.

She then walked towards the spatial vortex with a confident expression.

When she arrived in front of the spatial vortex, she turned towards Alu once again.

She then pointed her sword at Alu and said. "In the central area, we will fight if we meet."

Shua...

She then jumped up and disappeared into the spatial vortex.

Two of her followers also followed behind her.

....

Spoiler.

1. Mc will have eyes that can see the secrets of heaven.

2. On the continent of the Rising Sun, there will be portals connecting the lower realms. It was like the world in the novel 'Coiling Dragon'. Later, Alu will travel to some of the lower realms.
