The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-552

"A personal matter?" The young sovereign asked in doubt as he narrowed his eyes.

Regina then smiled at him while she used one of her hands to ruffle her beautiful purple hair. She then looked at him steadily and said. "Yes... Since you want me in your organization, I thought it would be interesting if we got to know each other better. Don't you think?"

"I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Can you be a little more specific?" He looked carefully at the woman in front of him, more or less understanding what she was trying to do.

"Hehe, why don't we arrange a dinner for just the two of us? We can talk a little better that way, in a quiet place, where we can exchange our experiences..." She winked at him, still with a provocative smile on her beautiful face. "I'm sure I can teach you many things, hehe."

"Is that so?" Minos looked at her with interest, moving his eyes from her beautiful face to the gorgeous cleavage at the height of her breasts. "Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept your invitation, Ms. Regina."

"Huh?" she exclaimed in surprise. 'Is this young man playing hard to get? Or is he not attracted to me?' So she thought to herself, as she felt as if somehow she had been insulted.

Regina then clenched her fists and said. "May I know the reason for your refusal? What harm would it be if we had dinner together?"

"No big deal, I'm just quite busy, and that doesn't seem to improve for the near future..." He vaguely said as he judged this woman's attitude carefully.

"Busy, huh?" She said with a note of disappointment in her voice. "Young Minos, don't you know that it's beneficial to take time to relax during these stressful times? Maybe I can help you achieve the calm you need to make the best decisions for your city..."

"You look pretty cocky, huh?"

"Of course! My more than a thousand years of experience gives me assurance of my abilities... Aren't you curious about that?" She bit her lips as she said this, just before getting up from her chair and walking towards Minos.

Minos then frowned at this, but he did nothing. He was much faster and stronger than this woman to the point that even if she was 1 millimeter away from him, he could still defend himself perfectly against her.

"What are you doing?" He finally asked this as he saw this woman stopped right in front of him.

'Is this brat still not interested in me? Why are you playing so difficult? Don't tell me you're a virgin?' She looked at him significantly while trying not to make her irritation visible to Minos.

'Looks like I'll have to do this...' She clenched one of her fists behind her back when she suddenly bent down, getting her face at the height of Minos'.

"Why don't you let this old lady take care of you?" she said this, close enough to young Stuart's face that he could feel her sweet breath.

But unfortunately for Regina, Minos wasn't in the mood for that. He already had a lot of action with his girlfriends and Viola, as he was also very stressed at this point. So, now, he wasn't interested in this woman's advances at all...

Mainly because he knew she could have secret motives. After all, he knew this woman had an ambition that could be pretty dangerous to those around her.

He even had confidence in protecting himself against her. Still, he didn't need to add another problem at this point when there was already so much to solve.

Minos then looked into her eyes for a moment as he thought about what to do. 'Regina... Regina, are you doing this because you think I will become vulnerable because of your beauty and whatever your skills are??'

'Hehehe, I will do nothing now and leave you with that flaw in mind....'

'When I get back from the Miller family, if you still want to play this game, I'll show you that before we even start, I already have the advantage…' He looked at Regina's perfect lips and then at her cleavage with a calm look on his face.

At that moment, Regina's lips were about to touch Minos', when suddenly this young man turned his face slightly to the side, causing this woman to kiss one of his cheeks.

Upon feeling this, Regina became even more furious, no longer able to contain the redness on her face. At the same time, her eyes showed a resolute expression. 'You're kidding me, brat! Long before your mother was born, I already was able to seduce the leaders of this region!'

'Do you want to challenge me? Okay, I'll accept this defeat for today!' She jerked one of her hands in the air and then slammed one of her feet heavily on the floor, just before turning and starting to walk out of that office.

"See you later!" Regina looked back and said this, just before stepping through the door of that place and disappearing from the young sovereign's sight.

After she disappeared, Minos leaned his back against his armchair and let out a long sigh. "That woman is the devil!"

He then smiled for a moment before finally getting back to his business.

Minos had an idea of what might be on that woman's mind, but he couldn't help but feel a certain excitement about it. He naturally had his own plans for her, and so he couldn't help but imagine the future in which this hard-to-handle woman would be on her knees to him.

Metaphorically and literally speaking...

...

Hours passed, and finally, the trio of Minos, Abby, and Ruth left the Dry City, traveling towards the Miller family headquarters, flying on White's back.

Before leaving that city, Minos had asked Eduard to leave his training in the Spatial Kingdom to keep an eye on the headquarters and deal with possible problems.

Not only the external problems that were getting closer each day to that place but also the internal ones. After all, Regina and Angela were in that town, and they could both cause a lot of trouble if they wanted to.

Therefore, Minos needed someone to handle any situation that might happen in his absence.

But he didn't want to do that to Celeste, as this woman was training in the Spatial Kingdom, learning her new techniques and training Elite Squad soldiers. That is, it was necessary for someone at the 6th stage to train those soldiers!

As for Emlyn, this fox didn't usually fight anyone from the Spatial Kingdom, as she needed to be aware of people's actions there. That is, her job was to watch so that no harm was done to the medicines in that place.

On the other hand, Eda was in the City of Waters marking territory, while Ernest was at the army's naval base. And finally, Elena was on Stone Island, taking care of her personal affairs. Therefore, Lieutenant Eduard was no other alternative but to fulfill this role of temporary protector of the Dry City...

Anyway, the Dry City still had Dillian and Mia to take care of local affairs during those two weeks Minos intended to spend away. And considering recent events, unless they were very unlucky, nothing significant was supposed to happen again in the short term.

Hence, Minos had said goodbye without much fear, along with his two beautiful girlfriends, heading towards the place where he would finally meet Abby's family!

...

Meanwhile, in the biggest city in the Red Valley...

Pa!

A wooden door opened quickly, slamming into one of the walls of a specific office.

At the same time, a young warrior had just entered the patriarch's room, carrying a small message in his right hand as he breathed hurriedly.

"What are you doing?" Asked one of the five people who were sitting around that office.

Gulp!

Hearing this, the young warrior swallowed his saliva just before speaking loud and clear. "Patriarch, we have new information regarding the deaths of the three elders!"
