The Cheat Seed - Chapter 38
Marcus smiled at the Man beside him and went for Cloy, whose leg was broken off by him with a kick. He did the same again and pulled him up tapping his broken leg with his leg and destroying the rock he had fixed in the wound in order to stop the bleeding. A new leg formed back again and he was standing once again.
Marcus went gentle with the Masked lady and gently tapped her broken hand. The hand turned once again and then fixed itself back into her dislocated joint with a crack. She sat up with a jolt and moved her repaired hand back and forth.
Finally Marcus bend over the scared sniper and touched her nose slowly. She cringed back in a cute way and blushed. The bleeding stopped and her nose shaped into a shape more perfect than before.
Marcus tilted his head a bit and asked her
“What’s your name?”
Marcus figured her to be about 20 years old.
“Ke..Kerin”
“Ah, Kerin quite a beautiful name you got there”
She blushed at Marcus’s words and smiled.
“Thank you”
“And..I am really sorry for doing that to you nose”
Marcus said as he stood up.
“I apologize to you guys too”
He turned to the the rest of the crew.
They looked at him in a surprised way but nodded back at him.
“No we are sorry!!”
The Man in his 40s fell in front of Marcus’s legs and cried.
“Ah it’s okay”
Marcus bend down and lifted him up.
“After all nothing serious happened”
Marcus said.
*Fall* *Crash*
Marcus’s house crumbled down.
He awkwardly looked at his fallen home.
“Ah…OOPSIE”
“Well it would be nice if you guys could help me in fixing this though..hehe”
He said with an embarrassed look.
Kerin lost it at there and broke down to laughter. The Atmosphere Marcus provided just now was now very calm and she had got adapted to it very quickly. The rest of her crew mates stared at her in disbelief and trembled in fear when they thought about Marcus’s reaction. All three of them shifted their gaze from their stupid crewmate and looked at Marcus.
He was staring at her blankly and then suddenly broke down too. He laughed along with Kerin. His soothing laugh relieved the pressure off from the 3 of them and they snickered along with the other two.
…………
It was almost 5 in the evening when they finished rebuilding Marcus’s house. It was mainly because of Marcus’s speed they were able to recreate the whole house back to perfect again. Marcus was running around the globe nonstop in search if materials. He was terrifyingly happy when he saw the result.
He soon brought water in a huge tank for his helpers and they had their fill.
His parents were safe in the basement. They were under the effect of sleep magic and were sleeping comfortably in the basement. Marcus had already found them in the morning when he bolted through the house to find Evy’s dupe.
Cloy was the dupe and he had used Decoy magic and shrink magic in order to fit perfectly. He was able to figure them out easily because of his sense skill and his intuition.
Soon they were all inside the house, resting in the living room. Marcus had brought chairs for all of them. He was utterly surprised when he found out his basement had dozen stocks of new chairs.
The 4 of them sat on one side facing towards the wall, They were nervous and were fidgeting with their torn clothes. Kerin fidgeted with her blond Layer cut hair and curled it. She fixed her tilted beanie to the side a little when she saw Marcus enter.
Marcus pulled a chair close to the table beside the wall. He removed his shirt and tied it to his waist.
His sleeveless sweatshirt revealed his perfect biceps and aligned shoulder muscles. Marcus sat on the chair and placed his right hand on the table and balanced his head on his hand. His muscles bulged a little because of the bending.
Kerin blushed at him and turned to watch her lady senior. She pouted harshly when she saw her blush too.
“Let’s start with the introductions then”
The Eldest of them started first.
“Good evening, My name is Luka, age 45, Previously a member of the Assassins Guild”
Marcus nodded with a smile and looked at Cloy.
“Good evening, I am Cloy, Cloy Ravens, age 24, previously a member of Assassin Guild and a comrade of Luka”
The Surname of Cloy struck Marcus’s mind. Did he just say Ravens?. Like the first Human God Ravens??.
“Hey Cloy….are you…connected to Ancestor Ravens by any means?”
“Ah, He is my Great, Great Ancestor Uncle”
“Woah”
Marcus’s eyes sparkled as he looked in admiration at Cloy.
“It must feel amazing to be the descendant of the Ravens family!!?”
Marcus cried out like a baby.
“No..Not at all”
Cloy shrugged
“Eh?”
“He was a traitor, a traitor who caused the entire world to suffer because of his obsession to gain more power”
“Huh?”
Marcus continued his surprised gaze at Cloy.
“Wasn’t it him, who went against the King’s words and summoned another god from the forbidden land?”
“What are you telling Cloy?”
Marcus spoke out in disbelief.
It was the King who summoned the Evil God from the God’s realm to finish of Ravens. But Marcus couldn’t tell Cloy anything, he might just spoil everything. He must keep this a secret at all cost. At least for now.
“I’m sorry, I can’t continue anymore, please forgive me”
“Ah, I am sorry for prying too much into your personal matters.”
Marcus looked into his memories. He saw a woman, probably Cloy’s mother. She was saying something to Cloy while massaging his head.
“Our Ancestor Ravens, Your Ancestral uncle was a traitor, he is the only reason why The Earth might get destroyed at anytime. He craved for power and when the other god came and got out of control, it almost wiped out our own Ancestors. They barely managed to escape. So Cloy, you must not crave for more power than you can achieve. It will eventually turn out to be a hazard for you and to the whole human existence. Remember this. Don’t degrade our family name more than it is already”
Marcus shook his head. They were being fed with lies. But at the same time Marcus promised to himself to clear the Ravens family name from the wrong side.
He smiled and shifted his gaze to the masked lady.
“Good evening, I am Melova, Melova Queen. Age 24, I was also a part of the Assassins Guild alongside Cloy and Luka”
Marcus grinned and nodded at her. She had a very nice voice. It was quite sleek.
“You have a nice throw by the way, It almost took away my head”
Melova blushed and nodded her thanks.
Marcus moved onto Kerin.
“Care to tell more about you? Kerin”
Marcus asked her in a deep voice.
(THE F*[email protected] PLAYBOY?)
Kerin’s cheeks blushed and her gaze waltzed around the room. She rubbed her smooth hands together and finally managed to get a hold on herself. She didn’t know why but she was slowly falling for the person in front of her.
“He..Hello, Good Evening, I am Kerin Oretta. Age 19, I dropped out from the Unreal Academy and was a part of the Assassins Guild”
She continued to blush and finished her sentence.
“Wait, Unreal Academy, You might have got some amazing talent then, What’s your seed”
Marcus asked a slight tinge of interest in his question.
Luka started speaking when he saw how nervous Kerin was when he saw her fidgeting with her hair.
“All 3 of us have Monarch ranked Seeds except Kerin, She has a Legendary Seed”
