The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Enemies? Acquaintances? Brothers?

His tone sounded almost accusing. Like he’d been tracking time and Aisha had been too efficient at finding chaos on her own.

In truth, Nykos had been quite preoccupied with some of his own adventures. Particularly, the pursuit of the Federation had completely drained his time to look for her, much less make true to his promise to abduct her.

It was all because of that damn Federation. If they hadn’t chased after his tail after he visited Sector 5, he would have had so much time strolling around and taking his sweet time by getting Aisha’s guard lowered and taking her with him.

But everything worked out fine. Maybe?

After all, he had arrived on time.

"Did I miss all the fun?"

He looked around, his crimson eyes moving slowly to the guards who were mostly affected by the impact of his hover car exploding with the palace wall. Then, he met Zeke’s stormy gaze and gave him an insufferable grin.

"Oh, you’re out of your nest? That’s surprising."

"Nykos, what the hell do you think you are doing?" Zeke moved to block him from getting closer to Aisha, but Nykos seemed to have already predicted his move.

Aisha saw Nykos turn into tendrils of shadows before feeling him reappear behind her. Before she could even respond, he had her held in his arms, arms snaking over to wrap around her waist and chest as his chin found its perch on her shoulder.

"Come on, Zeke. You either nag or fight me whenever we meet. Are you sure you’re not going through aging already?"

Aisha froze under his touch, but she didn’t immediately get out of his embrace.

Did they know each other? She had expected that much if they were nemeses, who existed to battle each other to the death. One was the Supreme Commander of the Association and the other a notorious wanted criminal that forced hundreds of star systems to warrant a huge bounty on his head.

But it didn’t seem to be the case.

Zeke replied with a narrow of his eyes. "If you weren’t such a lunatic that needed psychiatric help, I wouldn’t have to say a word to you."

"That hurts, brother."

"Brother?" Aisha stared at Zeke, seeking some sort of explanation.

Zeke shook his head and replied, "I could never be blood-related to a mental man like him."

Aisha’s body shook as Nykos chuckled from behind her, the rumbling of his chest making her shake as well. Then she heard him say, "Blood isn’t always thicker."

His words only deepened the frown on Zeke’s eyebrows.

Whatever their relationship, Aisha could guess that it wasn’t what people truly assumed it was. Although that might make things complicated for her. If they weren’t gunning for each other’s neck, their interest in her would become an irritating knowledge. She could only hope that they would grow bored with her sooner.

I can’t allow them to see my real power. She decided that it would be best that she didn’t show what she was capable of doing to anyone.

Right now, the only ones who had seen her work her power were her two spiritual beasts. Nykos might have suspected to some extent as well. However, he had been corrupted by miasma, and his overloaded psychic energy should have made his memories slightly blurry.

To be honest, Nykos was far bolder and more fearless than she thought. Or perhaps, Zeke was right... A lunatic doesn’t see anything worthy of their notice or fear. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
