God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss

Chapter 519 CH 503: Fear?

Cheshire did not have to wait for too long as soon, she felt the Black Queen stiffen for a second before the way she petted her changed, becoming more domineering and possessive.

Cheshire also liked this kind of thing so she did not mind,

"How was it?"

The Black Queen stayed silent for a while before shrugging, "I was talking with an old friend so to speak."

Her voice was bitter and Cheshire caught it,

"Oh? You cannot say his name?"

"I could. But if I did, he would be able to find me here immediately and while I am sure he has some ideas about what is happening, I do not want to give him too much leverage. Well, not like he really needs more."

Lilith fought the urge to pinch her eyes. She had been wondering who would be attracted by the action of The Boy. She should have expected that he would be one of them.

No matter how much protection Eve gave him, it was impossible to completely block such a big karmic connection.

The good thing was that Lucifer did not seem interested in interfering negatively with what they were doing. But she knew the man.

He was a jester.

Things were never a matter of logic and reason for him but only of desire and interest. Still, she was not completely against it and one of the reasons for this was that if there was one person who could be a real ally in this situation, it was undoubtedly Lucifer.

After all, though he lost in the end, he rebelled against heaven. This was done despite him knowing that he had no chance of victory in the first place. Lilith herself had been one of his most fervent followers in that time and if he didn't backstab her with the case of Asmodeus about the Throne of Lust, she would still be one of his fiercest generals.

"Enough of this. Tell me, why did you come?"

Cheshire nodded and started explaining, sharing all the information she knew while Lilith listened quietly to her, not interested in stopping for now.

The meeting between the two of them was expected. If she was honest, she would have rather they wait a little more time. But she also understood that Sae's mental health had been at an all-time low and was still deteriorating.

"Well, I guess there is nothing we can change about that now."

Lilith shrugged. The relationship between Sae and Adam was unhealthy to say the least as it was and she was partially to blame. Showing everything that had happened on that day had been an error in calculation and the mind of Sae had been more affected by the trauma than she had initially expected it would be.

Adam was a great anchor for Sae and while she would have hoped she was more independent of him, the boat had already sailed long ago.

"It seems like you don't believe in him, my Queen."

"I believe in no one."

"Not even me?"

"Not even you."

"Heheheh…"

Cheshire let out a creepy laugh while Lilith continued to caress the fat grinning cat sitting on her lap.

By now, Eve should also be discussing with the Slave of Destiny and unlike her own discussion with Lucifer, Eve would be the one to have the advantage.

"The wind is blowing and the trumpet of rebellion are about to sound."

She grinned. Years after years, millennia after millennia, she had slowly built her empire, built relationships with powerful entities who had been staying silent, laying low in order to not catch the attention.

"My Queen? Something the matter?"

"Nothing. It's simply time for me to recuperate my rightful throne. I will accept his deal."

It didn't matter what Lucifer was planning. If he wanted to act mysterious so be it, even if he wanted to backstab her again, she was ready for it. She would use everything at her disposal. Be it Eve, Lucifer, or even…

"Adam, huh…"

She closed her eyes, her consciousness growing faint. It was time to visit an old friend of hers. Someone who in a way was her closest friend and also an alternative self. Someone who was Her yet was not her.

Echidna — The mother of Thousand Monsters.

After a good shower, during which they had to fight to decide whether they would have sex again or simply rest, Adam now sat quietly in the bed with Sae, the two of them hugging in silence, and this time with no particular sex drive.

They were simply enjoying the moment and having a good time between the two of them.

"I will need to go soon."

"I know. I don't like it, but I know."

Sae muttered while pushing her face against his chest. She loved his scent and wished to bask in it all night and day long but she knew that this was not possible. Not now when they both needed to work hard toward their own goal.

"Tell me…What did you feel when you first became supernatural?"

Adam stayed silent as he caressed Sae's hair but she did not push him, waiting patiently for him to answer.

"To be honest. At first, I thought I was dreaming or that I was having a nightmare. After all, not only did I die because of some supernatural creature but I suddenly found myself in some kind of Library out of this world with a mysterious woman."

Sae snickered and Adam could only smile bitterly as he continued, "It was only when I woke up that I realized that ah…

This is truly reality and so fear came."

Fear of being hated by his mom. Fear of being considered a monster. Fear about this unknown new world that was unfolding in front of him.

Truly, fear was what filled his heart the most and it was because of this fear that he grew faster and faster, even if to do that he had to harm himself.

(AN: This was supposed to be a quick arc but because of my problems it ended up taking too long. The next chapter of the chap after that will be the end of this dreamscape arc.)
