Supreme Harem God System
chapter-770

"Alright. I will backout."

Nux spoke up.

"3 chances." He continued, Lazarus frowned, however, he decided to listen to what Nux was about to say.

"Just like before, the Bloodheart House needs to come to our aid when we request it, however, this time, the Bloodheart House has the option to reject us. If the Bloodheart House feels that helping us in a particular situation is not worth it, or the house itself has some situation they need to handle, they can reject our clan's request and we retain the chance.

This way, the Bloodheart House wouldn't have to get into a messy situation, and we would get what we want.

What do you think?"

"You haven't changed anything." Lazarus was straightforward.

"I gave you the option to reject our request."

"That is just twisting words, do you think you would ever find yourself in a situation where the Bloodheart House wouldn't have the power to save you? Just our name alone would be enough to help you most of the time. A situation where we would need to access the situation and reject your request would never arise."

"Then I don't understand, if only your name is enough to solve most of our problems, then why wouldn't you help your sister's clan?"

Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face and suddenly, Lazarus's expression changed as he glanced at Melia.

Seeing his expression, Amaya smiled a little.

'That was a good one.'

She complimented.

'I learned from the best.' Nux replied.

"That sneaky boy." Ambrosia chuckled.

"He knows when to use his cards." Orpheus nodded as well.

"Do you think Laza would fall for it?" Ambrosia questioned.

"He will." Orpheus nodded without hesitation.

Of course, it was not because he thought his son was a fool. Orpheus may not show it, but he was proud of his children. Both his children are far better than he was when he was their age. Lazarus is smart enough to realize what Nux was trying to do.

Nux was using his sister to gain something from him, even a child could see that.

And Lazarus could easily avoid it if he wants to, however, the thing was, he could avoid it, 'if' he wants to.

But does Lazarus not want to help his sister?

Of course, he wants to!

Melia, however, would never accept it. She, who wants to stand on her own would never even ask for her brother's help.

However, these 3 chances, these were 3 opportunities for Lazarus to indirectly help and even meet his sister, how can he possibly reject it?

Thinking about all this, Orpheus shook his head.

His son… he loved his family a little too much. It was not a good trait for a leader.

Seeing him, Ambrosia chuckled, and then, she questioned,

"Would you have fallen for it if it were you, darling?"

Orpheus glanced at Ambrosia, and then, he chuckled as well,

"I would have."

He wasn't a good leader either.

"Since I have made a mistake, I should own it up.

I accept your offer, Nux."

Just like Orpheus had predicted, Lazarus extended his hand and accepted Nux's deal.

Nux shook Lazarus's hands and smiled.

"I wish you luck in your future endeavors," Lazarus spoke.

"I wish you the same." Nux nodded.

The two of them nodded at each other, then suddenly, Nux's expression changed a little,

"Lord Lazarus, I will be excusing myself now."

Lazarus nodded.

Nux then turned around and walked away.

"Brother, I will take my leave as well." Seeing him walking away, Melia spoke up as well. She needed to talk to Nux.

Suddenly, Nux's wives' expressions changed as well, they all excused themselves as well and followed Nux.

"What happened to them?"

Lazarus frowned in confusion.

"Hmm, I don't know, maybe they are going to celebrate their victory? They won Melia and the support of Bloodheart House, after all. It is a big day for them." Luciana walked towards Lazarus with a glass of wine in her hand and spoke with an enchanting smile on her face.

"For some reason, I do not feel that is the case," Lazarus muttered, however, he then grabbed the glass of wine and took a sip.

…

On the other side,

Nux, who was walking away, heard a voice.

"Nux!"

It was Melia.

Nux stopped for her, Melia caught up.

"Why did you do that?"

Melia questioned.

"What?"

"Don't act ignorant. You used me to manipulate my brother into doing what you wanted."

"Haaahh…"

Suddenly, Nux sighed.

Melia narrowed her eyes.

"The two of you really are brother and sister."

Nux commented.

"What do you mean by that?" Melia questioned.

"Both of you do not think at all." Nux commented and then he continued,

"Do you think your brother didn't realize that I was using you to get what I wanted from him?"

Nux questioned and Melia tilted her eyes in confusion.

"Your brother isn't a fool, Melia. He knows what he is doing. In the future, if our clan gets into we cannot handle, do you think the Bloodheart House will stay silent and watch from the sidelines? Would they only watch in silence when you face the most difficult time of your life and might even die? Would you be able to just watch if your brother's head is about to fall?

Of course not. You wouldn't.

The same goes for your brother, and he knows it.

Those 3 'chances' are just excuses for him to help you. Now, he would never need to put on a case in front of his subjects in order to help you. He can simply say, 'I gave my word' and can come to help you.

This way, his position as the head of the House will not take a hit.

Melia, he never 'lost' anything in this deal. It was a perfectly calculated move on his part."

"A calculated move that you calculated before him." Melia narrowed her eyes.

"Well, I will not deny that."

Nux smiled.

"What about his position as an heir that will take a hit now when everyone learns how the Bloodheart House promised to help a Clan that is not even registered yet?"

"What? You think your brother wouldn't be able to overcome something like that?

Lord Orpheus is the one actually ruling the Bloodheart House right now, and he will be ruling it for a long time, long enough for your brother to recover from it and imprint a strong image in front of his subjects.

He is a Semi Saint who can defeat Saints, after all.

I am sure this won't be the last achievement in his life."

Nux smiled.

"…"

Melia turned silent.

"If that answers your questions, then I will be taking my leave now."

Nux spoke and then, he rushed away.

Melia frowned, she wanted to stop him, however, then, she saw Nux's wives passing through and rushing towards Nux with worried looks on their faces.
