Chapter 194 Chapter 194 – End of The Inter Family Tournament

‘Will Emma join?’ thought Aiden as he honestly wasn’t sure of such an answer.

She wasn’t exactly in the same situation as Aiden, in fact, she was in a completely different one.

She didn’t have to hide from anyone, she was living with her mom, did she want to get stronger?

Maybe, but it wasn’t on the same scale as Aiden who really needed to get stronger.

“But, let’s say she doesn’t want to join, do you want something else,” asked Melinda, as she didn’t think that this was a request worth achieving first place in the Inter Family Tournament.

Aiden needed to be greedier, he needed to ask for more because right now he could.

Who knew what would happen in the future, would he ever have an opportunity like this in the future?

That’s why Aiden didn’t say anything right away, thinking about another reward for having the tournament.

“Let me think,” said Aiden, staying silent while his mind was in complete turmoil.

Melinda hearing this nodded her head, waiting for him to find an appropriate answer to her question.

‘A skill? Training with her? No, I don’t need this stuff,’ thought Aiden as he couldn’t seem to find a good request other than what he had already said.

‘What about something that can assure my future?’

Thinking of this set Aiden on the right path as he kept thinking about something that could help him in the future.

‘Protection, I guess. That would be what I need the most,’ thought Aiden, pinpointing what he needed at the moment.

However, he wasn’t sure how he could reveal to Melinda that he needed protection. Did it even make sense for someone from the Slums to need protection?

But, Aiden had forgotten one important detail, Melinda didn’t know anything about him. She only knew that he came from a middle-level family.

She didn’t know anything about his past.

That’s why there wasn’t a lot of risk in asking for protection.

‘Wait, no it actually makes sense to ask for protection right now,’ thought Aiden as he remembered the attempt that Sylas had made trying to take his life.

Right now was the perfect time to ask such a thing, especially after what just happened minutes ago.

“If I had another request, I guess it would be protection against the Nightshades,” said Aiden.

“I knew you were going to say that,” said Melinda instantly already expecting such a request since it was the one which made the most sense right now.

She knew that the Reaper wouldn’t feel that great after being attacked in such a way, he had to be somewhat scared.

“Then, I guess we have a deal if Emma Everheart doesn’t want to join my family. I will offer you protection,” said Melinda, happy with this whole request of his.

The reason why she was so happy was because she would be protecting him either way. So, she honestly couldn’t care less about that request of his.

Whether she recruited Emma or not really didn’t matter much to her.

“Alright, now that you’re about to join my family don’t you want to show me your face?” asked Melinda, still wondering what the Reaper really looked like.

Was he anything like Li Feng?

Because he was even remotely close to Li Feng in terms of Charm and attractiveness. She didn’t know what she would do.

She didn’t have an orgasm in years, so she could only hope that he would do the trick and if he did then Aiden would be holding a really important place in the family.

However, the chances of Aiden being close to Li Feng’s Charm are small like really small since Li Feng’s Charm was of 500.

‘Show my face?’ thought Aiden, unsure if that was the right time to do so.

However, he knew that he would have to do it sooner or later as he had made some deals with Melinda and Lilia.

‘Should I do it later after the tournament?’ thought Aiden as he knew that this would be the safer choice, there was literally no doubt in his mind.

Nonetheless, he still hesitated over the whole matter.

‘Does she know about the son which Sylas threw away a long time ago?’ thought Aiden suddenly finding another problem.

Because if she knew about him, what would she do?

Would she show him to Sylas again?

Or use him against the Nightshades?

Aiden wasn’t sure anymore, but he knew that he would be showing his face later as he didn’t want to risk something since it was related to the Nightshade Family.

He preferred doing it later since it would be safer being away from the Nightshade Family.

“No, I’ll show it to you after the tournament, just like I said previously,” said Aiden, confident with the choice he had just made.

Melinda hearing that answer didn’t even seem mad at all as she simply smiled as if expecting such an answer in the first place.

She had just tried to see that face of his wondering whether or not he had potential.

“Alright, then I guess we’re done here,” said Melinda as she made some signs with her hand teleporting them back to their original place in the Arena.

“Oh, they’re back, so what was the request?” asked Thorin, trying to know about it.

However, that was quite a stupid attempt as Melinda only shook her head.

“Well, I guess they decided to make it a secret,” said Thorin as he prepared to make his final speech of the tournament.

“Then, I guess this is the end of the Inter Family Tournament. This year was surprising with a middle-level family winner, maybe in years to come it will happen once again.”

‘Even if I doubt it,’ thought Thorin in his mind as he continued talking.

“Now, it’s time for all of you to go choose the rewards that have been awarded during the whole tournament,” said Thorin, talking about the skill, the weapon, the item.

Then, the twelve participants disappeared from the stage.
