Chairman ElâTaras, who had been strangely quiet about his niece and her first ever boyfriend, suddenly smiled and nodded at Monkey King in approval.
Here is a male who is confident in his self worth and in the feelings of his chosen mate.
A good fit for the externally confident but actually internally insecure JulâTaras who doubted that she would ever find someone who could love her without fearing her.
JulâTarasâ heart, which was rather filled with irritation due to Harold Sandsâ words, suddenly melted and she could feel an deep welling up of warmth in her heart for Monkey King.
JulâTaras blushed a deep shade of red and smiled a silly smile.
âHehehehe. Do I? I wonder⦠anyway, back to my story. About the war on the Gaming Commissionâ¦â
Monkey King grinned at her affectionately and let it slide.
âYes, please tell me about the massive war that I am about to fight against three behemoths, thank you very much.â Chairman ElâTaras said wryly.
JulâTaras grinned at her uncle widely. She was in a pretty good mood.
âWell, although I am not strong enough to use my Godâs Eyes on the current ruling coalition within the three super powers, I have been rather liberal with my powers with the promising young males of all the major powers, the Central Galaxies included.
And because my Godâs Eye is much weaker than yours, it doesnât come with the same limitations as yours. I am able to use it on many, many more targets than you.â
Harold Sands frowned deeply at her words.
âWait a minute, then the reason why Jerome Sands has been acting so strangely recently after a trip to the Central Galaxies wasâ¦â
JulâTaras merely blinked at him and smiled angelically.
Harold Sands nearly choked with anger and frustration. Jerome Sands was one of the Sands of Time Clanâs rising stars!
âThe current Crown Princes of all three Central Galaxies, as well as a number of their young Generals and Ministers are all mine.â JulâTaras continued with her explanation of the current situation.
âThis war with the Gaming Commission had all been tasked to the three Crown Princes as per their request to their fathers, and would be âattackingâ us and âsuccessfullyâ taking over several planets near their territories which are chock full of our long-term cells.
They will then proceed towards our HQ in the West and will âaccidentallyâ have a falling out, during which one of the Crown Princes will be captured and âkilledâ.
The three galaxies will then be plunged into war, and they will be too busy to send more than a small detachment to deal with Elliot, and our new Empire.â JulâTaras finished grandly. âHowâs that for a puppeteer?â
Chairman ElâTaras clapped slowly and appreciatively. âYou are well and truly the best heir for my throne. I would definitely name you successor if I am not so young and still have way too many years to live.â
Next to them, Aunt Hills who had remained completely quiet at that moment suddenly giggled.
âMay I ask as to what you find so funny, my dear Lady Hillary?â Chairman ElâTaras frowned and asked.
âOh nothing. I am just reading a novel which had a villain say something really similar you just said.â Aunt Hills grinned.
âHad?â Chairman ElâTaras raised his eyebrow questioningly
âHad.â Aunt Hills nodded. âHe died 2 chapters later.â
âHahahaha! My daughter is a bookworm and has an overactive imagination! Donât worry too much about her words, chairman. How could you, the universeâs largest stalker, be a mere villain and die a mere 2 chapters later?
Even if you must be a villain, you will be the mega villain that will outlive all of the heroes! You will definitely have a long life! Super long life! Ten thousand years. Twenty thousand years, even!â Harold Sands roared out with laughter while thumping the Chairmanâs shoulder heavy handedly with his right hand.
Chairman ElâTaras frowned deeply once more and shrugged off Harold Sandâs hand.
âOf course I am not a villain. And I wonât die for another hundred thousand years. What race is the villain who died in the novel?â Chairman ElâTaras asked Aunt Hills.
âElf.â Aunt Hills instantly replied.
âElf? What is his name?â Chairman ElâTarasâ frown deepened.
âEl⦠Taros.â Aunt Hills said innocently.
âWhat?!â Chairman ElâTarasâ eyes bulged out so wide that they very nearly popped out of his eye sockets! âWhatâs the story about?â
âWell⦠ElâTaros is the leader of a gambling den called Gambling Commissionâ¦â Aunt Hills began.
âPreposterous!â Chairman ElâTaros, I mean, ElâTaras shouted. âSomeone is obviously taking my life as an inspiration, and writing a novel about it!â
âUhh, he is not the main character, so the novel is not technically about himâ¦â Aunt His clarified.
âPreposterous! Every character is the main character in their own story! Of course he is the main character as well⦠Who is the author? I want to sue him for using my story without paying royalties!â Chairman ElâTaras asked Aunt Hills angrily.
âUhhh⦠Hahaha. Why bother suing such a small time author? Hahahaâ¦Sheâs just an online web novel author who writes as a hobby about her wildest fantasies! She likes her Female Lead Main Character to have flings with evil villains⦠Hahaha!â Aunt Hills laughed rather awkwardly.
âWeb novel? Female lead main character? Flings with evil villains?â Chairman ElâTaras shook his head helplessly. Hegemons nowadays have so much free time, they actually read novels online? But he was in no place to judge. After all, he was the leader of the largest entertainment company in the whole universeâ¦
âAnyway, back to our discussion. If you have the situation well under control for the next few months, then I suggest you get your best friends, Jessica Sands and Elliot Musk to give all they have in advancing their respective skills, while we work to replicate what they have.
Elliotâs is pretty straight forward. We will scan the known universe for more of the strange energy he is wielding. Jessicaâs is much more complicated. We need to understand exactly what her Ascendant Runes do, and that would require Runic Geniuses to study them. I donât suppose you can allow a few of our geniuses access to her Ascendant Runes?â Chairman ElâTaras asked.
However, at that moment, JulâTarasâ Void Communicator suddenly came to life from the couch behind them.
âHey guys, you wonât believe this. Jessicaâs Ascendant Rune is completely nuts! Iâve already killed that Ancient!â Came Elliotâs voice.
