"What are you doing to him?" A calm voice suddenly snaps everyone out of their current state. Pure turns his head to the source, and his eyes open a bit.
Cleo might not know who the girl in front of him is, but he knows that she is strong and might even be comparable to Pure. He quickly prepares for a confrontation.
The Darkborn quickly stands up and runs towards the girl wearing the witch outfit. He then complains loudly.
"Cousin, please seek justice for me; that bald-headed yellow monkey is using his status to attack me indiscriminately!"
Cleo frowns; he dislikes his friend being called like that; he glares at the Darkborn; his heart starts beating loudly; he seems to have relaxed to the maximum; but he is actually prepared to strike as long as his friend gives the signal.
"Marcy, it seems that your cousin is causing some problems for my benefactor and friend." Pure was not backing off; he released his powerful aura, causing the girl to be startled.
Cleo quickly grabs his friend and shakes his head.
"Do not escalate the situation; I know that you are trying to help me, but I still need to obtain a yin attribute item from Lady Lilith, and in my position, fighting in front of her establishment seems rather rude."
Pure nods his head and ignores the witch and the Darkborn, but he notes what the latter has called him; he knows his friend's attitude, and he is confident that it will not be long for his friend to search for him to punish him.
The witch just watched the two enter the building; she smiles and cannot help but think that Pure might be coming for her position in the following days, and she is excited to fight him.
She looks at her cousin and shakes her head in disappointment, ignoring his shameless begging. She leaves him and enters the building together, just behind Pure.
The Darkborn hesitated before gritting his teeth and chasing after her. The reason he visited today was because he had received the message that his cousin was also coming; he could use this chance to meet up with Lilith.
The two groups were escorted into Lilith's room. They entered a grand room filled with luxurious items. Cleo scratched his head. He thought that they would be brought into Lilith's love-making room. It seems that he had guessed correctly.
"Greetings Lilith." Pure.
"Hey Lily," said the witch.
"Ah~ To gaze upon your beauty is truly a precious moment! Your eyes are as mesmerising as every my dear Lilith.".
"It is nice to meet you again, lady Lilith," Cleo bows, knowing that he is the only individual who seems to have no relationships with Lilith whatsoever.
"To think that two Aces would request a meeting with me today, I am surprised! Especially, meeting friend Cleo once again, I was so sad that you had not visited me all of this time." She pouts as she flashes her eyes seductively towards him.
He laughs in an awkward manner and tries to explain himself.
"Haha, I am sorry. I was so busy with the match against our rivalled room. I am so weak that I just train hard just to barely reach the standard."
Being ignored, the Darkborn becomes angry, especially when he watches the two interact so friendlyly that Lilith even openly flirts in front of him, causing him to explode on the spot.
"Hahaha! As expected of a human! So pathetically weak, unlike me! Who is a royalty of our glorious race?" He is trying to show off in front of the person he desires.
With Pure backing him up, Cleo is not afraid of the arrogant fellow; he squints his eyes, trying to search for something, causing everyone to be confused.
His eyes then open widely as he points at the Darkborn and says,.
"There you are! I am so sorry, you are so black that I cannot see you. I think that your race might be ashamed by your appearance that you guys evolved so dark. Why don't you hide into the shadows? That is what your race is only good at."
The people inside the room are stunned; they did not expect for him to rebut, considering that his strength is pitiful compared to that of the Darkborn.
"You dare insult our glorious race!?" The Darkborn was, of course, furious with his words and directly raised his hand to attack.
Pure appears in front of Cleo; he is staring at the Darkborn calmly, but he will not hesitate to attack if the latter also attacks.
"You coward! Hiding behind the bald donkey!" roars the Darkborn.
Cleo shows his face and starts picking his nose. He flicks his booger towards the prick and smiles widely.
"I am a coward; what are you going to do about it? I have my good friend to help me; what about you? Are you also a coward to back down against my friend?"
The witch frowns.
"Hmph! Arrogant! What if I challenge this good friend of yours?"
Cleo just laughs.
"Hahaha! Take a turn, beautiful lady; this fellow seems to be ready to go down right now; brother Pure will accommodate you later; for now, let us see if he is so brave to fight against my friend!"
"How about you accept my challenge!?" The witch snorts after seeing his cousin being bullied.
Cleo shrugs his shoulder and raises his hand.
"I am a coward; I had already declared this, so, without hesitation, I will tell you this: I refuse your challenge because I am afraid of you!"
He then turns to the Darkborn and asks.
"I had said it; I am afraid of your cousin. I will ask you again: are you afraid of my friend?"
He smiles widely, not caring about how the people inside the room see him as someone who is very shameless.
Even Pure cannot help but say:.
"I feel that I am being used to settle a personal vendetta."
Cleo laughs loudly.
"It is not just your feeling; I am truly using you as my shield. Go, brother Pure! You can definitely kick his butt."
