Chapter 318 318
Atop the Tower of Nyx, two figures stood side by side as they looked at the City of Night in all its glory and lights.
The day had gone even better than people had anticipated, and in the evening after Leilah, Keith, and Amelia unveiled the monument that marked the inception of Noxville Netheria, the concert started at the Square.
Keith joined Alana on the stage to play a few pieces of Piano and even sang the male version of her latest song, The Wicked Game, which people adored a lot.
He was not a great singer, but he could sing. Everything related to music naturally came to him, and people were very surprised to see him sing so well. Of course, he had picked the song very carefully, which masked his true Skill-Level.
And tonight, to add fuel to the fire, he had put the old rumours to rest and incited a fresh series of rumours when he publicly kissed Alana on the stage.
Of course, their fans went crazy when they watched it, and their kiss was trending on social media just below the inception of Noxville Netheria.
Keith was certain that her brother had watched it happen too, after all, he had received a System Prompt which told him that he had hurt Yexuan's mental stability and stolen a few Fate Value from him.
"What does it feel like to rule over innumerable worlds?" He curiously asked the lady who was standing by his side.
"Innumerable to you, but I know their exact number." Leilah smiled. "Your servant appeared in one of my worlds, Amaya 13." She told him.
"How's he doing?" He asked, registering the name of the world he would be going to in his mind.
"Fine." She said and then glanced at him. "To answer your question, ruling over everything feels natural to me, just as natural as breathing feels to you."
"I see." He smiled as he glanced at the City of Night again. "What do you call this world?"
"Gaia 11."
"How many worlds are there with the name Gaia?" He curiously asked.
"6666666." She replied. "I created them all and they are all very similar to this world."
Keith did not know how to react to her words and just kept staring at the City that they had created.
"And how many Amaya are there?"
"13." She smiled. "They are all very special, especially the one your servant has appeared in. You will like it a lot."
He was not in the least surprised that she knew he would be going there in the future. He had a hunch that she could see right through him and knew his every secret, but he brushed the thoughts aside and smiled.
"What do you think of Kashish?"
Leilah curiously looked at him when he asked the question and then turned to look in the direction where the girl he had named was currently present.
"She's one of the blessed. And you can make her even more special." She meaningfully said, and Keith felt a chill run up his spine.
Yes, she could see right through his secrets.
Strangely, he did not feel any crisis in her presence. And just like always, he felt very comfortable with her.
"Yexuan has accessed the Steele of Time and Space." She suddenly said, and Keith's heart skipped a beat.
A few seconds later, he heard a System Prompt which confirmed her words.
"Even the Steele of Time and Space does not interest you?" He sighed and asked.
Leilah smiled at his words and turned to look him in the eyes.
"I have no need for it." She told him. "What did you want to talk about?"
"The Black Forest Group." He straightforwardly said. "It's yours after we leave this world."
"I have no need for it either." She smiled.
"I know." He chuckled.
"What do you want?"
"Gold. Equivalent in its value."
"Just gold?" She lightly asked with a smile.
"Yes."
"We will talk about it once you reach Amaya." She nodded to him and then glanced back at the City of Night. "Don't waste that drop of blood." She meaningfully said, and then disappeared from her place and out of his senses. "Alana's looking for you." He heard her voice in his ears and nodded to him.
"She's talking about the Drop of Blood that is in Yexuan's possession?" He asked the System.
[Yes, Host. It complements a drop of blood inside your heart.]
"Tier Four?" He guessed.
[Yes.]
"I see."
Keith took a deep breath and then stepped forward, leaping right off the Tower of Nox.
He had always felt a rush when he flew in his dreams, and sky-diving brought forth the closest feeling to it. However, it was still very faint, and it was becoming boring now.
"She knows about you." He reminded the System as his feet landed on the ground like a feather, and the black flame under his feet receded into his body.
[It's possible.]
"And?"
[She won't harm you.]
"Really?" He frowned at the answer he received.
[Yes.]
"She created you?"
[No.]
Despite what the System answered him, Keith felt that there was something that it was not telling him. However, he did not sense any deceit in its words, and he himself did not believe that Leilah would harm him.
But what he was sure of was that she had plans for him, and it was for a game he could not take control of any time soon.
As he walked down the road that would lead him to where his family was waiting for him, he went through the Plans of Destiny he knew about, and none of the Children of Destiny he was aware of were meant to go to any of the thirteen worlds that were called Amaya.
A part of him was very excited about plunging into the unknown, and since Leilah had called it a very interesting world that he would like, he was even more eager to go and see it as soon as possible.
Sadly, he could not leave without dealing with the Children of Destiny who were present in this world.
He needed the Fate Value and the invaluable treasures that he wanted to get his hands on.
Yexuan had accessed the Steele of Time and Space tonight, which meant that he was now in the Great Profound Realm.
Keith guessed that by the time his Invincible Halo would wear off, Yexuan would be in the Spirit Profound Realm.
It was going to be fun playing around with him, but he knew that he would have to be very careful as well.
His life would never be in danger, but he could not say the same for the people around him. A man who had returned from the future was a very dangerous enemy.
"Keith!" A sweet voice broke his train of thought, and he raised his head and opened his arms to catch the girl who had lunged at him.
"Alana." He smiled and comforted the girl who was tightly hugging him.
"I don't know what to do..." She whispered, quite anxious about her future after tonight.
She was not expecting Keith to kiss her in front of everyone, and everyone now knew that she was with him.
It did not concern her what the media would publish about her. After all, no one would dare to cross the line and disrespect her.
But it was certainly going to be very awkward for her to work for a while.
"Stay at the Manor with the girls." He told her and smiled when she obediently nodded her head.
"But Yexuan..." She was quite worried if her brother would take the news well or not.
"If he's uncomfortable with it, give it some time." He patted her head. "He would understand it one day."
"I hope so..." She nuzzled her face in his chest, inhaling his scent, and waves of happiness crashed onto her heart once more.
Keith had admitted to their relationship publicly, and she was very grateful and happy about it.
It was arguably the best day of her life, and Alana blushed hard when she heard the girls standing around them giggling at them.
She timidly separated from his arms but cried in her heart when she watched the grins plastered on Kiara and Rebecca's faces.
They were going to tease the life out of her now, and Celine too would not miss on the opportunity.
"Luckily, a voice came to her rescue."
"Don't tease her today," Venessa told them and then gently caressed her head. "You should stay at the Manor for the coming few weeks."
"Keith asked me to do it, Mother" She nodded to the lady of the Family.
Seeing Alana keeping her head lowered and blushing hard brought a smile to her face, and she grabbed her hand and decided to take her home in her car.
"Wait for me!" Kiara was not going to let Alana go just like that and rushed after them, deciding to take the ride back home with them.
Keith, Amelia, Rebecca, and Qingyue stood there for a good minute, wearing smiles on their faces, and then they started walking down the roads of the City of Night.
"We need another project to keep us busy," Rebecca spoke about what was on the mind of all three of the girls.
"No." Keith shook his head. "You will be busy with only your Medical studies from now on." He clearly told her and then looked at Qingyue. "Alchemy for you."
The blonde pouted at him, but his grey-eyed wife obediently nodded her head.
"And I?" Amelia smiled and asked and then curiously looked at the book that suddenly appeared in Keith's hands.
"For you." He smiled and presented it to her.
It was a book on Architecture in Lower Heaven, and all three of them were hooked as soon as they opened it and looked at all the wonderful designs that opened a whole new world for them.
"Like it?"
"Love it!" Amelia happily told him and then stepped forward to kiss him on his lips. "Thank you."
"You are welcome."
