Chapter 334 Old Man Duke Worries
334 Old Man Duke Worries
After killing off the part of Derek, I return to Jill's chamber at a flashing speed. When I get inside, I see Old Man Duke, Jill, and Zagrath seated inside, while Zamira is still lying down on the bed.
"Is she going to be fine?" Old Man Duke asks as he notices my presence in the room.
"She's going to be fine. She just needs to rest," I answer.
"I see... Thank you for everything you've done, Jake. I appreciate it," Old Man Duke says with a light bow.
"Nah... It's fine. By the way, I met with Derek~"
"D-Derek?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing my words, my Mom and Old Man Duke's eyes widen in shock as if they are about to fall out of their sockets.
"D-Don't tell me..." Mom mutters with sweat forming on her forehead. Even Zagrath looks shocked, while Old Man Duke is shaking in his seat.
"D-Don't worry, we didn't fight... He seemed to be manipulated by the blood god. His main objective was to kill the protoss in return for his freedom, but after learning that I was the protoss and seeing me in person, he was unable to do anything. Though I had to convince him," I explain to everyone.
"And he agreed! Just like that?!" Everyone asks in unison, shock evident on their faces.
"Yes,"
"Oof, that's a relief... But there was a lot of damage done. The people... I don't know how to face them," Old Man Duke says with a long sigh.
"That's pretty simple... You'll tell them that some vampires were possessed, but the situation is under control. You'll also try to compensate most of the families who lost their loved ones," I explain to Old Man Duke.
"Haa~ that seems plausible. But I can't just go around compensating people for their losses. They lost their loved ones and they are never getting them back. I think sending a good condolence message is the best way to go," Old Man Duke replies.
"Besides..." Old Man Duke continues. "About you and Zamira's wedding, it's going to take place in two days. Zamira pestered me about it before this incident occurred, and I'd like her wishes to come true," Old Man Duke adds, a smile blooming on his face.
"This..."
Hearing his words, my face turns red, but I quickly regain my composure. That was unexpected.
"That's good..." I reply, as I am short of words.
"Alrighty! I think we'll leave the room for you two. Maybe if you sleep with Zamira overnight, her body might heal faster than normal. Since you've taken care of most of the problems, I'll do the rest," Old Man Duke says, getting up from his seat. He also signals to Jill and Zagrath to come out of the room. But he suddenly pauses before he gets closer to the door.
"How is Alphonso's health now?" He asks.
"Well, he won't be able to fight for now, since he'll be using robotic limbs for quite some time," I answer.
A frown appears on Old Man Duke's face before he lets out a sigh.
"We'll see tomorrow, grandson," Old Man tells me with a small wink, while Jill and Zagrath follow him from behind.
Once they are gone, I start to think about today's events and everything that has happened since I arrived on the red planet. I have to admit, it's quite annoying. I haven't had a good time. I've been busy dealing with pests.
Man... I miss the good old days. It's just like this power is more like a curse.
Taking a glance at Zamira beside me, I cover her body with a blanket and lay down next to her. While I'm lost in my thoughts, white bright lights suddenly flash before my eyes.
[Hehehe, master... It's been a while since you played with me.]
Ah... Mimi, it's not my fault. I've been busy dealing with nonsense situations lately. Heck, it feels like Old Man Duke is actually using me, or am I wrong?
[Well... I don't think so. He sent you to the Celestial monkey planet with the hope that you'll get something useful to help you. So, I don't think he is using you.]
I can try to edit your chapter for you, but I cannot guarantee that it will be perfect. Here is my attempt:
```
That's true... I got my blood armor back, even though it's in a weak condition. Plus, I haven't even gotten my familiar yet. Aaargh!!! That idiot. I groan, putting my hands on my face in exhaustion.
[Fufu... You only have a few days left here, master. I promise that you will enjoy every last bit of them.]
I hope so... It's only a few days before I take my supers examination.
Clearing my mind, I close my eyes and try to replenish my blood aura and my Ki.

Meanwhile, on another planet...
"Waah~! Such a hectic day," Blair mutters, wiping the sweat on her face. Even though she's already pregnant, it's not obvious because of her petite stature and perseverance to keep grinding.
Right in front of her are lying countless beasts ranging from emperor-tier to king-tier, about a thousand in total. Blair single-handedly killed them all because of the condition of her ability, which is to feed on her killing intent.
Initially, Blair had been able to suppress it with the help of Ki. However, as she got more powerful, the third-stage of Ki, which was the highest she knew, wasn't helping her in the slightest. To avoid going berserk, Blair had been killing beasts non-stop, to the extent that she was even chased away from a certain small planet as she almost wiped out every single beast on it.
