Chapter 135 I Will Finish Them All
Aldred coughed. “Let’s talk about that later. For now, let me introduce you to my friends.”
Glad that she was saved, Ivette nodded. “That’s right. Let’s meet your friends and get to know each other.”
Raff sighed. He wanted to secure the boy as his sister’s husband. Even though Aldred already had a lot of women with him, one more would be fine. Not to mention his women had a great relationship with each other and no rivalry among them.
As Aldred, Raff, and Ivette walked to his camp, the onlookers were jealous of the two siblings.
They too wished to be recruited by Aldred and be protected under his wings. Alas, the world has never been fair, and it never will be.
“Those siblings are lucky. Being together with Aldred already secured them an astrolabe.”
A man nodded. “And she can play with his balls.”
“Bro, if you want to die just say it. I have a spear in my arm right now.”-.
When Aldred arrived at his tent, he explained everything to Mary and the others.
“So that’s what happened,” Mary said. He glanced at the siblings and smiled. “Make yourself at home. We will build a tent for you guys.”
Ivette slightly bowed her head. “Please don’t. We don’t want to burden you. We can build our own tent.”
“Silly girl,” Mareona said. “You will be sleeping with us.”
“Eh what?”
“Every new girl that joined the group has to sleep with us. Isn’t that right, Aldred?” Mareona gave a wink at him.
Aldred did not know what she was planning. It was usually her that hit his head for being a pervert, but now she supports it? Was the sky about to fall today?
Ivette hesitated.
“Alright, Mareona. Don’t tease the newcomer,” Mira said with a smile. She glanced at the both of them and noticed the divine energy inside their bodies. Someone from Montcresia gave them that power. It was possibly a bishop. No, with this power, it was at least an archbishop.
What did the archbishop see in these two siblings? Nevertheless, She had to take care of them. Suddenly, she noticed something weird about the brother. Her brows furrowed together and realized that the brother was an undead.
‘He’s already dead?’
Aldred looked at her and slightly shook his head. Mira understood his intention. She did not want to make the sister sad.
Mareona giggled and hugged Ivette. “Are both of you hungry? I heard Bartrem is cooking steak today.”
Ivette looked down. “We cannot do that. Aldred already saved us and has done a lot for us. We cannot burden you guys too much.”
Sophia smiled. She already liked Ivette. At first she was skeptical about her, but she didn’t seem to be a bad person. But of course, a slight wariness still stayed in her heart. If Ivette dared to harm Aldred, she’d be dead
before she could blink.
“Let’s have a meal together, Ivette,” Sophia said.
“Good idea,” Aldred said. “We can introduce you to the others while eating.”
And so they dragged Raff and Ivette outside the tent. Bartrem was flipping meat on the grill with flames spewing out. He looked like a master chef as his hands gracefully seasoned the meat and brushed some sauce on them.
The fragrant smell of the meat entered their nose. It was sweet and sour, which Aldred really liked. His stomach already rumbled from hunger.
“Bartrem, meet our new members.”
Bartrem glanced to the side as he flipped the meat. “New members? We never have new members before.”
“Well, now we do.” Aldred then explained what happened earlier.
“So that’s what happened. As the leader of Pressure Platoon II, I welcome you.”
Bartrem finished cooking with the soldiers and put the meat on a large plate where everyone can take some for themselves. He also made some boiled eggs that had been peeled and beautifully sat on the plates.
“Ivette, why don’t you take one for yourself,” Aldred said.
Ivette hesitated for a second before she took the meat. Her hand got burned. “Ah.”
Aldred walked up to her and washed her hands with cold water, healing the burn mark. “Sorry about that. I will cool the meat first.”
Aldred absorbed some heat from the meat, reducing its temperature from hot to warm. Who knew high mastery in the fire elements had such benefits?
He gave the meat back to her and smiled. “Please enjoy it.”
Mira and the others looked at each other and smiled.
“Aldred is being a ladies boy again,” Mareona said. “Humph! What a play boy.”
Raff seeing this was happy. He hoped that Aldred would succeed in taking his sister’s heart and marry her. Although, looking at her apple-red cheeks… it seemed like Aldred had taken her heart already.
Ivette tried to hide her embarrassment by chomping on the meat, when the fragrance and taste entered her mouth, she widened her eyes and cried.
“What’s wrong?” Aldred asked. “Is it still too hot?”
Ivette shook her head as she wiped her tears. “It’s perfect. It’s perfect.”
Raff caressed his sister’s head. “I apologize. She had never eaten any good food before because we saved up all of our money to pay the debt. During our journey, we can only eat crickets, centipedes and other bugs.”
“You guys eat centipedes?” Aldred widened his eyes. He couldn’t even imagine touching them, not to mention eating them. Yuck!
“We have to.” Raff sighed. “Otherwise we wouldn’t have any energy to move.”
Bartrem looked at them with a pitiful gaze. The others also felt some pain in their heart. Aldred grabbed a plate and took a lot of meat and boiled eggs. He then handed it to them.
“Eat as much as you can. I will be angry if you don’t eat until your belly is full with food. I want you guys to make big poop tomorrow.”
Mareona laughed. “Aldred, that’s not how you offer food to someone?”
Mary and the others laughed as well.
“Aldred, you are so hilarious.” Sophia smiled.
Aldred gave a shy laugh and scratched the back of his head. “I was joking, but please eat as much as you can.”
Ivette looked at Aldred and then at the pile of meat. She cried again. “Thank you. Thank you. I will finish them all, don’t worry.”
