Chapter 52: Mona in Trouble
Mikayla took the dagger and looked at it just for a moment before nodding.
"Being able to repair it is better than having to keep replacing it..." she said and looked at her mana stat that was at 51, most of it thanks to her belt.
’That’s like... so bad....’ she thought to herself as she stared at the dagger that had 1500 durability, which meant that she would need 15,000 mana points to fill up it’s durability.
Of course, once the dagger’s durability hits 0, it would break and the skill wouldn’t work.
Amon nodded as he pointed at Elena, "Elena can help with the durability. She’s got a lot of mana and I do too so there’s no need to worry about mana."
Nyx suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled, making him turn around to look at her, "What about me? Do I get nothing?"
’God... who said having a Harem was a blessing...’
"Of course not, I was just thinking what would work well for you!" he exclaimed as he grabbed her shoulders and smiled.
Nyx flapped her eyelashes as she looked into his eyes, an act that caught him off guard and made him completely forget about the things he was thinking about.
"What?" she asked, her voice so sweet one could get diabetes just from listening.
Amon immediately snapped back, "Right, like I said... I was thinking what would work well for you but if you need something, you should tell me."
"Hmm... you can pick it out for me, you know? I’ll take anything."
"Sure...." he muttered as he began walking towards the bedroom, "Let’s head to bed first. You guys need rest and so do I. I might have looked like I was asleep but I’m pretty tired."
The girls nodded and followed him inside before everyone of them got onto the bed, making it pretty crowded. The only one who looked slightly hesitant, was Elena.
"Come on, you can cuddle with us. He belongs to all of us." Mikayla said generously while her hand moved to a not so innocent place.
’I’m gonna get milked dry...’ Amon thought as he looked at the girl who seemed pretty eager but then he shook his head as he saw the bags under her eyes, "Not tonight, Mikey. You need sleep. All of us do."
Mikayla pouted, but she didn’t fight him. Instead, she got on top of him and rested her head on his chest, making space for Elena to take the spot to his left.
Nyx already got comfortable as she buried her face on his chest beside Mikayla while putting one of her legs over his.
Seeing such an open display of affection for the man she decided to call her husband, Elena pushed away her inhibitions and joined them.

Raul sat on a high back chair, rubbing his forehead as he watched one of his men leave his office while another one ran in at the same time.
"Boss! Our underground drug warehouse has been taken over by the Gaboras and they’ve been giving it all away for cheap. Our customers are switching and the Bruscheffa family also sent you a letter." he said as he took out a letter from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Raul felt another headache coming his way as he took the letter and unfolded it.
Raul, we are extremely displeased with the current state of affairs. You promised us that you will keep a tight hold of your area but the truth says otherwise.
You have the Spider Sword Sect expressing their displeasure with you. The Blackthorne family’s business is booming while you are sitting on a chair and waiting for everything to crumble.
Your men have started to desert you, there are rumors that your wife triggered the wrath of the Gaboras and then there’s you, just what kind of deal did you make with the people from the heaven’s gate?
Right, there’s no need to tell us. We have no interest in getting involved in that mess but we do hope that we can protect our interests. We have invested a lot in you for the past few decades and I hope you remember that.
We will send one of our family’s talents to give you a hand. He needs to learn a bit about the real world so I hope you can teach him well.
— Bruscheffa Family
After reading through the letter, Raul calmly crumpled it into a ball and put it in his mouth before he began chewing it. The one who delivered the letter stood in silence until his boss was done.
"Are there any other issues? How’s our slave trading route? What about our monster materials and the levelling progress of our awakened?"
"There’s no problem with the route and it’s the same with the materials boss." the guy said before hesitating a little, "But there is a small problem with the levelling. The academy has terminated our contract so now... we won’t have a steady influx of mercenary jobs. We’ll have to fight for a spot in their parties or send our men on their own."
"And that’s risky." Raul said before shaking his head, "Get out."
The guy did not wait for another moment as he rushed out almost instantly, leaving Raul alone in his room.
For a few seconds, there was pin drop silence but then, Raul moved his hand to grab his pen stand.
It broke into multiple pieced with a dull crunch. He then raised his fist up and banged the table, breaking it instantly.
"FUCK!" he yelled all of a sudden as he got off his chair and punched the wall behind him, breaking it with a single hit.
He stared at the gaping hole for a few seconds before turning around and looking straight at the corner.
"Mona, why did you fucking go for that kid’s head?"
Mona’s figure appeared in that corner, her expression calm as she looked at him, "I never went for his head. I was in the Golden Palace all along. You do know that I’m not the only one with the invisibility skill right? The rumors say that a red baron gang member was talking to someone invisible. It doesn’t say that it was me."
