BXBX NOVEL Chapter 954 Nux, I Need To Talk To You.
954 Nux, I need to talk to you.
"Shall we move to the City Treasury then?"
Oberon questioned.
Silence fell over the City Manor, in front of a Divine Stage Cultivator, no one dared to speak.
*Thud*
Sheba was the first one.
With his taking the lead, the other Saint Stage Falconkins started kneeling on the ground as well, and seeing their leaders all falling on the ground, the soldiers of the Manor and the rest of the Falconkins, they all kneeled as well.
They had no other choice.
The Falconkins had lost.
With Prima\'s death and Oberon\'s appearance, the content of the Contract didn\'t matter, Skythorn Falcon City had no choice but to accept it.
With the Falconkins not resisting, Rune stepped forward, chains that sealed ones\' cultivation were used, sealing the cultivation of every Saint Stage Falconkins. Then, the Defensive Formations were removed, not that these formations could kill Oberon, but they were still strong enough to hurt him.
There was no need to take such risk.
Anyways, soon, the City\'s Treasury was emptied.
Oberon had already taken away whatever Prima had in his storage ring, now, the City\'s Treassury was gone as well. They didn\'t even leave the personnel wealth of all the Saint Stage Cultivators and other Falconkins close to Prima, all their Storage rings were taken away.
The Skythorn Falcon City was basically emptied out.
And this was not the end, according to the contract, Skythorn Falcon City was forced to pay considerable amount of resources to Feline Cat City every 100 years for the next 10,000 years. This, combined with more conditions Oberon had listed, it was just as Sheba said,
The Skythorn Falcon City was done for.
Even if they did their best to make a comeback, to regain what they lost today, they would need more than 100,000 years and that was considering everything went well for them.
"I won\'t be coming here every 100 years, be sure to prepare all the resources and send them to the Feline Cat City yourself, else I wouldn\'t mind involving the Ancestral Order."
Saying those words, Oberon disappeared. The two Saint Stage Cultivators followed behind him, Rune and Felix glanced at the kneeling Falconkins for a while, then they turned around as well.
It was a big victory for Feline Cat City.
Of course, it was a little anti-climatic in the end, however, that was just what kind of existence Divine Stage Cultivators were, with Prima\'s death, the battle was already over, these were only the formalities.
Anyways, Oberon and the others returned to the Feline Cat City, the City was opened again, Felix gave away his rights to become the successor, and Rune was chosen as the Successor and the next City Lord.
The citizens, who already adored Rune for her kindness and dedication, celebrated her victory with uncontainable joy.
As the news spread like wildfire, the streets of Feline Cat City erupted in jubilant cheer. From the youngest to the oldest, everyone joined in the festivities. Colorful banners fluttered in the breeze, displaying Rune\'s name and symbol, while the air echoed with songs of praise for their new leader.
Rune also addressed the citizens as well, with how much the people trusted her and how competent Rune herself was, everyone knew that the Feline Cat City would be ushering into an era of never seen before prosperity.
"I will be going into Closed Door Cultivation, you may not be a City Lord right now, however, as the successor, you will be leading the City in my absence. I have high hopes for you, Rune."
Oberon spoke as he glanced at his daughter.
"I will not disappoint you, Father."
Rune replied.
Oberon nodded, then, he disappeared.
Rune then walked into her room then noticed that Felix was already sitting inside. A small smile appeared on her face.
"Greetings, future City Lord." Felix bowed his head dramatically.
Rune, however, just pushed him away with a small laugh. The two siblings laughed together, then, with a strange look on his face, Felix spoke,
"It is finally over huh…"
"It is…" Rune nodded. Her expression seemed similar to Felix\'s.
Felix had gone through a lot, however, Rune was the same. No, one could even say that Rune had it even worse.
Her husband, then brother, then father, and then mother, Rune was stuck in a position where she didn\'t know who to trust, she had to choose between people closest to her.
"Nothing would have happened if it weren\'t for him." Suddenly, Felix spoke up.
"You are right."
A slight smile appeared on Rune\'s face as she recalled Nux\'s face and that confident smile on his.
It was strange how she couldn\'t trust people she had spent centuries with but fully trusted a man she met a few months ago, and that too, as an enemy.
"You should call for me when you miss me, you know?"
Suddenly, Rune heard a voice.
She turned around and saw Nux walking towards her with a playful smile on his face.
"It has been a while, hasn\'t it?" He spoke.
"I would never get used to you just popping out of nowhere."
Felix spoke as he glanced at Nux.
"I will take that as a compliment, Lord Felix." Nux chuckled.
"What\'s the point of taking a compliment from someone like me, you are someone who can even escape father\'s senses, I am nothing." Felix laughed.
"You should be more confident in yourself, Lord Felix. You can\'t possibly be thinking of remaining in your sister\'s shadow forever, are you?"
"That is not bad at all. I can just laze around and have my sister take care of me." Felix smiled.
"That cannot happen." Nux, however, shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Felix frowned in confusion.
Nux then glanced at Rune and, "Well, I have different plans in my mind.
Plans that would clash with your fantasy of being taken care of by your sister."
"What are you talking about?" Felix questioned as he narrowed his eyes.
Nux, however, just chuckled,
"Nothing. Ignore what I said."
However, even though he was talking to Felix, his eyes didn\'t move away from Rune.
"Nux."
Suddenly, Rune called out.
"I need to talk to you."
