The Conquerors Path-Novel

Chapter 149: Surprise?

“So this is big brothers mansion?”

Elda asked with a questioning look on her face as we had reached towards the mansion that would be used as the future head office of my faction, it was a huge one and it was in the more secluded area but the beauty of nature beside it created a unique scenery that calmed one’s mind

Elda naturally having a fairy bloodline felt more at ease with the nature, she could feel more relaxed and happy at the times she spend out in the open but naturally she can’t spend too much time in public due to well her beauty and I could only sympathize with her for it, I mean who would feel good with people always ogling you no matter where you go?

“Look big brother, there’s a lot of people lining up at the front!”

Elda exclaimed as we reached the front where I could see the recruiting happening for my faction, there weren’t a lot but it was good enough for a budding faction but the weird thing was that there was more girls in the line than guys, seeing it I could only shake my head with a sigh

I could tell that most of the girls are either just joining to meet me or get my heart and it’s normal, leaving aside how good looking I was, there was also the fact that I was from a well prominent family and I have already showed an amazing talent in combat, all in all I was a good target for these hormone filled girls to target, well all of them won’t be like that some might join just became they admire me too

“Hehee~~looks like big brothers getting famous among the girls~~”

Elda teased me as she pointed at the crowd that stood before the mansion orderly, I could only shrug my shoulders and respond back with a smirk

“What can I do, I am that amazing”

Hearing my narcissistic answer Elda pouted with displeasure and I have to say that it was very cute sight, I laughed at her displeasure before I spoke again

“Well no matter what I am not much interrested in them, I have a higher taste you know”

Hearing my answer Elda didn’t say anything, as she walked forward but a cunning light shined deep within her eyes, Elda might seem completely innocent but a more cunning side shined deep within her, ready to do anything to reach her intended target

Seeing that Elda was not responding I just walked beside her as we walked closer to the gate, when we reached closer many noticed us, the girls eyes lit up while the boys eyes stayed fixated on Elda, a commotion rose seeing us but before they could move the one’s that stood in the front of the gate organizing came forward, it was Mika, Rika, Sana and Rika

All four of them were highly combat oriented and were best at keeping the crowd at bay, seeing that it was me all four of them walked up to me with a smile but seeing Elda near me all of them paused for a second but they quickly got themselves back and came to me, Rika was the one who spoke first

“Looks like you finally made it Austin~~”

“Yeah that’s right, I was beginning to wonder that if you had forgotten the duties you had today”

And Sana supported Rika’s statement with a one of her own, all four of them had accusing gazes and I could only wryly smile and appease them, truthfully I should have reached here early and helped at the recruiting, normally it should all be completed by Alex but I was adamant on seeing the new ones through

The reason for it was simple, it was due to his ‘read’ function, while it allowed me to see my targets it also lets him see their talents, so why should I only use it to only look at just capture targets?, I could use use it also to find hidden talents that was yet to be discovered, that’s why I didn’t care if my recruits where the best known or not, I could always find their talents by looking at them

Well I should have arrived early but after dealing with Olivia, Marlene and Nora, it kind of passed through my mind, plus when I spend time with Elda it feels as if there’s nothing else to focus on other than her, I am beginning to suspect that she’s using some kind of spell to lure me into her

I looked at Elda who was smiling happily at me, it seems that my innocent looking sister is not all that innocent, well it didn’t do me any damage, truthfully the more I spend time with her the more I feel relaxed and calm, whatever she’s doing it helps me relax, so I will go along with it for now

After ‘explaining’, my situation, the girls calmed down after all they couldn’t blame me if I had to meet with two powerful princess, it was then that Sana smiled mischievously and spoke

“Well, there’s a surprise waiting for you at the mansion”

“Surprise?”

I looked around the other girls but all they did was smile with hidden intentions, seeing it I shook my head as I was guided towards the mansion and no girl came forward to talk talk to me, well not with 5 girls relaxing killing intent and pressure, yeah Elda don’t think I can’t feel you subtly using spiritual energy to push the other girls away

After that the other four girls stood outside to deal with the crowd, though they seemed extremely reuctant to part with me, with that both me and Elda walked along the corridors onwards the room where the girls said that a surprise was waiting, it was during this time that Elda spoke

“It seems that those girls are very attached to you big brother”

Elda’s tone was neutral ans she spoke, hearing it I acted surprised as I replied back

“Well I did save their lives, so they must think of me as a great friend”

“Friend?, are you sure they only look at you as a friend, big brother?”

Elda asked to me intently, Elda could easily tell that these girls had their eyes on me and she wanted to know what I think, hearing her questing, I showed a surprised face before I started laughing

“Hahahaaa…What a joke, I don’t think they think of me like that, plus they treat me as a good friend, I am sure”

‘Yup, that’s the dense guy answer!’

Now it was Elda’s turn to be surprised she looked at me, afterwards it seems that she went into deep thoughts, well as long as she doesn’t intrude too much I don’t care, with that we reached the room as I opened it and what I saw really did surprise me

“Hey Austin”

A guy stood up from the couch waving at me, he had black hair and red eyes with an above average visage, he was Leonardo the main protagonist
