Chapter 79: Some Things Aren't As They Seem

.......

The only thing stopping them from attacking after I became the boss is how I took over the position, that's a huge variable they can't dismiss...

Morena continued as a smile surfaced on her face, "But I think their patience is waning especially after all we did for the last nine days since the incident.

That especially applies to the Cha-R family, Orilin used quite a bit of your funds to take over most of their business so I think they're getting impatient and the Xi-Yu family is quite greedy so they'll definitely want in.

Also, Luini caused quite a bit of chaos killing several henchmen of both families though he got rid of the bodies yet they still requested a formal apology and compensation as per the code of conduct but they don't have any proof so I refused and that'll only push them more."

"We expanded our territory significantly mostly due to Luini's chaotic behavior but he stays within reason, we basically became the biggest Mafia family in the empire size wise and we're not far behind the Xi-Yu family in terms of financial power.

We just need more henchmen and we'll have that thanks to Cashew spreading the news through the city and she's working on spreading it through the empire."

Yasuo nodded and said, "Just continue doing your thing, I'll be away for a while so if one of your plans needs me to be here then let me know..."

Morena didn't let disappointment appear on her face, to a certain extent she knows what kind of person he is.

He won't let anything come before his passion and she knows she'll have to learn to live with that, "I'll need you in about one and a half month... You won't be away for a while right?", "Nah, it should be a maximum of a month,"

Morena asked though hesitance could be noticed in her voice, "How about the other scarlet eyes in Tserriednich's possession? I think we can get them if we work toget..."

She wasn't able to finish what she was trying to say as Yasuo sealed her mouth then started looking into her eyes with a smile of amusement in his eyes.

"This isn't like you, why so uncertain? I'm the kind of person that rarely lies so know that I'll never lie to you, I just won't tell you everything so you should believe in what I say, ok?"

Morena closed her eyes as she started resting her head on his chest hugging him tightly, "You're kind of... Annoying. Even with all of the uncertainties surrounding you, you're still making me fall under you're shadow deeper and deeper.

You should also trust my words, I will always believe in you from now on... Even if you betray me I won't try to kill you, I will probably just destroy the world then I will go to sleep so don't blame me if you die with the world.

In that case, it's unintentional ok?" Her tone seemed serious at first until it turned more mischievous as she put her arms around and looked into his pitch-black eyes...

Yet only an expression of amusement appeared on Yasuo's eyes signifying just how entertained he is hearing her words as he started caressing her hair, "Don't worry even if the world were to be destroyed, I'll still live and be completely intact at that,"

Morena's face twitched as she just let out a helpless sigh, "You're no fun at all!" Then her expression turned serious as she said.

"If you ever want to betray me then just tell me ok? I will just give you my life... I prefer dying knowing you're honest much better than otherwise... If you don't and I'm left alive then I will really go by what I said."

Yasuo asked instead of answering, "Is this how you were able to create such an ability with little to no conditions?

You were ready to give me your life the moment you made it huh, by using your ability on me and waiting until almost thirty days passes then allowing me to kill you basically giving me all of your lifespan while I keep all the increase in power I'l experience in that time... Am I right?"

Morena just closed her eyes hugging him tightly, "I can't hide anything from you so I'm sure you came to that conclusion a while ago."

Yasuo let out a relaxed smile as he looked at her eyes and said calmly in an unwavering tone, "I will never betray you, satisfied now?"

A heavy weight weighting on her shoulders seems to leave Morena bringing a happy yet peaceful smile to her face, "I'm..." Then she hugged him even tighter saying while hiding her face in his chest, "I love you."

Then an air of peacefulness surrounded them as they stayed in the same position hugging each other.

Until they started to slowly float with Morena still closing her eyes laying her head on his chest and before she knew it, they appeared in her house after going through a portal that appeared close to them.

"That was kind of hot... so you know what's gonna happen..." Then he sealed her mouth into a passionate kiss no giving her any time to react.

A passionate kiss that soon turned into something more that continued across the night until the sound of chirping birds sounded and the warm sunshine passed through the window shining on the sleeping Yasuo and Morena and the dark purple crow standing on a table a little bit away.

Well, only Morena is sleeping as Yasuo is just having fun with the Vertical Eye ability and also expanding his domain range.

The crow blinked then the clock ticked as the hour's hand stabilized at exactly 8 in the morning.

The crow then started flying away going through the window, it flew high in the sky with the three purple threads completely visible to any Nen users using 'Gyo', something Yasuo wouldn't usually do but things that may seem like it's happening may not actually be happening.

The signs are there and one just has to do some more thinking.

What Yasuo is doing is pushing his ability beyond its limits. The crow flew to the sky looking down on everything with its pitch-black vertical eye Yet nothing seems to happen except at some point in time, time started going backward with everything in its Vision doing the same.

The people walking on the street started going backward and so is everything around the Crow.

In fact, if the crow can see the whole world right now, he will see everything moving backward as well though it's more like Yasuo who is seeing through it... Even the whole universe is within his ability and possibly much more.

This isn't Yasuo moving time backward, this is him simply seeing the past but not being able to change it.

Even the crow froze in its place without the ability to move around though Yasuo can see everything around due to the small Aeroeye threads within the crow's dark feathers and its vertical eye.

But Yasuo can't see another crow flying backward to the room because there isn't one.

When looking into the past, Yasuo found there can only be one Crow since he can't see another version of the crow going backward.

Yhis is a limitation due to seeing into the past not being that Nen consuming and possibly other reasons and this is especially limiting since he can only create one Zero Vision at a time.

And there is the same limitation as seeing into the future, the further he sees into the past the higher the consumption becomes though it's nowhere as costly as seeing into the future and there is another limitation except this one is solvable with more practice.

When looking into the past, he sees things like a tape but he has no control over what point in the past he wants to see.

He has to watch the tape go backward slowly until the point of time he desires comes, and if he wants to see something that happened months ago.

He'll have to watch the tape for months until the time he desires arrive and if he wants to look much further, he'll have to do the same and this is something that could break one's mind.

And while that won't affect Yasuo much unless it's decades of time, it's still not something he wants to do.

This is something he is practicing, the ability to increase or decrease the tape's speed at the cost of increasing or decreasing Nen consumption though he saw no success as of yet.

But there is a hole he can exploit, in fact, he is already making use of it. When seeing into the future, he has full control over the crow and his ability.

He can fully control the crow even though he is seeing the future, even though the crow he can control is in the future he sees which gives him the ability to do soo much more.

The dark purple crow stopped looking into the past and started looking into the future while still floating high in the sky... Until time stopped as the crow disappeared.

The crow instead appeared on the same table it was standing on before in the same position and the same posture... Then the clock ticked as the hour's hand stabilized at exactly 8 in the morning... Some things aren't as they seem...
