Chapter 223: Magician never reveals his tricks


"Are you sure you don't want me to come?" Ayda asked while looking at me with her eyes full of worry.


"Yeah, I'm worried it would only make things harder," I said, patting her head in an affectionate matter. "It will be better if it will be only the two of us talking there. What's more, if he sees you in this world once he enters it, it might convince him that I actually spoke truth rather than just exiling him to some kind of abyss."


After this simple explanation, there was a momentary silence between the two of us. Given how we were rushing to deal with all the matters that the ongoing conflict required us to pay attention to, we didn't really have any time to enjoy our reunion.


Or rather, I was the one devoid of it. For Ayda, it was just a few seconds that passed between the last time I visited her and the time when she entered the world. Even if she dived head-first into the mountain of work we had as soon as she made her first appearance in this world, it was still just a few days worth of toiling away for her.


"Well, can I maybe get a good luck kiss?" After a prolonged moment of silence, I rubbed my cheek with my finger before asking in an uncertain tone.


"Huh?" Ayda almost jumped in surprise, despite how simple and peaceful my question was. Then, her face melted down in a lovely smile as she brought her hands up to my face and pulled it closer.


Plask. Our lips touched each other. The vortex of this delicate, affectionate pleasure instantly sucked all my sanity in, leaving me capable only of enjoying this moment.


The kiss was light. Ayda didn't bother to go for a french one, opting to keep it light and gentle instead.


"Mwaaah," Only at the end, this girl actually caught on my bottom lip before sucking on it strongly as she moved her head away. Once her strenght could no longer fight against the natural quality of the flesh of stretching only to a certain point, her lips clasped against each other, releasing my own lip back to where it should be.


"May you successfully achieve what you are setting forth to do," she leaned forward and whispered in my ear before gently pushing me away.


Or rather, pushing me towards the invisible gate that connected Dearie's world to the earth.


My body was engulfed in a strange sensation. It was slightly similar to rapidly dropping into warm water, one that had its temperature so perfect that it was challenging to actually feel it. And then, as if nothing happened at all, I ended up back in my basement, making a few steps to the back to lose out the momentum of Ayda's push.


"This little," I muttered in an angry voice, but my face was devoid of any hostility or wrath. Because as much as I wanted to just spend the rest of my days flirting with Ayda, there were some things I had to focus on beforehand to make such a future possible in the first place. 


"Well, let's get going," I said in an attempt to encourage myself before leaving the basement. Once again, I had to go through the complicated process of sealing the basement doors behind me, hiding them under a light layer of rubble before even reaching for the airlock of the concrete dome that protected the entire place.


In the end, it took me no less than ten damned minutes before I could finally manage to escape from the confines of the dome and reach the single doors that everyone was capable of seeing within the compound. Still, only a selected few were allowed to open it.


And that's exactly what I did. By pressing my finger against a special pad right beside the doors on the wall, I unlocked the doors and pressed them open.


But rather than seeing an empty corridor of this relatively peaceful part of the compound, I was met with a whole group of people clearly awaiting my arrival.


"Your excellency, we were ordered to escort you to the Town's hall," one of the men dressed in perfectly fitted suits stepped forward as he announced.


"I don't recall making any appointment there," I replied in a relaxed tone before stepping forward and closing the doors behind me. Even though it would take only a few minutes to either break the lock or just smash the doors open, it would be a few minutes more before they could reach the dome if those people decided to go against my wishes.


"Sir Jeff insisted for your Excellency to accompany him there," the man said before releasing a deep sigh. His face soured as he placed his hand at the side of his waist. "Your excellency, please, I'm only doing my job, do not make things hard for me!" The man pleaded while gritting his teeth in powerless desperation.


While I never really publicly showed my personal strenght, Ayda's display of power that happened during the attack of the monsters was more than sufficient to make people question my capabilities. If I was capable of getting such a woman to cooperate and help me, it was pretty obvious that I wielded a strenght that wasn't that far off from Ayda's own power.


And while nothing was ever confirmed, from the looks that this small crowd was throwing at me, it was pretty clear that they were wary of my potential retaliation.


After all, what they were doing, was no different from either arresting or kidnaping me right from the middle of my own quarters!


"You don't need to worry too much," I sighed before lowering and then shaking my head. To say that I felt powerless would be a gross understatement. Right now, I had more than enough power to wreck not only this entire place but the entire city along with it, but I was in no position to use it at all.


After all, what good would come from destroying the entire organization that I worked so hard to create in the first place?


"But still. Rather than escorting me to the Townhall, I have my own mission and orders for you. One that won't make Jeff think badly of you not fulfilling what he ordered you to do instead," I announced with a smile before shaking my head to clear all the useless thoughts from my mind.


"For now, you can leave everyone else here so that no one will claim I attempted to divide your forces and use it to escape." This time, I went all in. By talking openly about what was happening in reality, I refused to acknowledge the parody shitshow that everyone hoped to impose on this entire situation. "In that time, you will go and find Jeff. If he is on his way to the town's center, you will forcefully turn him back. If he is in the compound, you will invite him to my quarters so that we can have a talk," there was no hostility in my words.


I simply informed this poor victim of the political clash between Jeff and me about what would happen.


"Tell him that if he decides to test my patience any further," I started before lowering myself over the ear of the trembling man. "I will burn this entire city… No, this entire province to the ground, not leaving a single soul alive. Tell him that starting over isn't even a slight problem for me. Tell him that I only consider it in terms of annoyance. And if he still dares to refuse my invitation…." I moved away from the man's ear before putting a wide smile on my face.


"Well, the magician never reveals all his tricks, doesn't he?"
