Chapter 49: Crimson Light Covering The Sky!
Chapter 49: Crimson Light Covering The Sky!
Kindland - Charity.
In the Heroes Association Headquarters.
An annual Heroes meeting is about to happen which is filmed as well, and it will be shown on every TV in Kindland.
The Heroes Meeting is only to show their strength and show that the terror of Jack has ended.
It is also to bring fear for any Villains who were watching.
On the 40th Floor, the Meeting has already started.
Chris was entertaining the other guests with a professional smile, but he was waiting for certain women to appear in the meeting.
He didn't have to wait for long because soon, a beautiful black-haired woman came from the doors with a beautiful purple-colored dress.
Her figure instantly made women ashamed, and men drool.
Chris looked hungrily at her, while Ariane felt his gaze, and she felt disgusted.
It has been over a month since their incident, and Ariane did everything she could to not meet him, but she had to participate in this event.
No one has found out about their incident, and neither of them wants anyone to find out.
Chris has not given up, and public finding out would make things more difficult.
And Ariane doesn't want anyone to find out because it is easy for Chris to manipulate the news and say that Ariane was at fault, greedy for the Chairman position, etc.
Ariane went to talk with other female heroes while trying to keep her distance from Chris.
''Ariane, what is this rumor about you and Chris?'' A heroine called Blue Petite asked with a charming smile.
Ariane raised an eyebrow, ''What do you mean?''
''Apparently, you and Chris are dating!'' Another heroine with the name Scarlet said.
''No, we are not.'' Ariane shook her head, trying to resist vomiting.
''Chris has said that you two are dating.'' Blue Petite said.
Ariane grimaced, ''There must be a mistake; we are not dating.''
Scarlet pondered, ''Most of the Heroes already think you two are dating, and it is almost public knowledge.''
Ariane glared towards Chris, who was innocent, smiling while talking with other Heroes.
''We aren't dating, excuse me,'' Ariane said and left the group of gossiping heroines.
'This is your plan, peer pressuring me...' Ariane felt disgust filling her; she walked towards a nearby table and took a glass of champagne.
Chris left the group of heroes and arrived next to Ariane.
''Is the party to your liking?'' Chris asked with a smile.
''What are you trying to do?'' Ariane asked with anger.
Chris chuckled, ''I was planning to announce our engagement; now you only need to accept my undying love.''
''Never!'' Ariane growled.
Chris sighed and shook his head, ''It would be such a shame if something happened to your parents.''
''What do you mean?!'' Ariane sharply looked at him.
''Like... Car accident... Or their house was lit in a fire while they were still inside.'' Chris innocently said.
Ariane's body trembled, ''Y-You wouldn't!''
''I would. I am only doing this out of love. I would make you the happiest woman who has ever lived.'' Chris said with crazed smile, his eyes showing his love, which would never end.
Ariane bit her rose-colored lip, ''You are trying to threaten me to accept your love. Where is the love in that?!''
Chris chuckled and started walking away, ''Love is a mysterious thing.''
Ariane looked hatefully at his retreating back; she quickly took her phone and dialed her mother's number.
*Ring*
''Please answer...'' Ariane's heart sank deeper and deeper.
But no one answered even after 1 minute of ringing.
Ariane looked at Chris, who was waving his hand innocently.
Her face went pale, ''N-No...''
Chris smiled and walked towards the stage.
He took a microphone and opened his mouth, ''Heroes, and Heroines. Citizens who are watching from their TVs, welcome to the annual Heroes Meeting.''
*Clap*
Heroes and Heroine's clapped with smiles.
Chris smiled, ''Since today is a special day, I have a special announcement.''
Ariane's body trembled; she hatefully looked at Chris.
Heroes and Heroines were curious and waited for the following words.
''I, Chris Sauron, Chairman of the Heroes Association, am happy to announce my engagement with our lovely Saintess, Ariane Violetheart.''
*Gasps*
Everyone in the Hall gasped but then started clapping with powerful momentum.
Blue Petite shook her head, ''That slut.''
Scarlet sighed, ''Using her body to gain more status... what a disappointment.''
Ariane clenched her fist with enough power to make her palms bleed.
Chris smiled, ''Give a round of applause for my fiance, Ariane, come to the stage.''
*Claps*
Heroes and Heroine's started clapping while looking at Ariane.
Ariane bit her lip and started walking closer to the stage.
Her every movement was elegant and beautiful; her smooth thighs were shown slightly, making Chris's breath quicken.
'You are now mine!' Chris shouted in his mind.
Ariane reached the stage and stood next to Chris.
Chris put his arm on Ariane's waist and pulled her slightly closer.
Ariane was clenching both of her fists.
'Disgusting...' She thought while feeling Chris' using his fingers to feel her skin underneath her dress.
But he did it sneakily; no one saw it.
Chris leaned closer to Ariane's ear and whispered, ''Even if we are only engaged, I think we need to know each other... On a more intimate level, don't you agree, darling~.''
Heroes and Heroines, and the citizens who were watching only saw two lovebirds flirting with each other.
''You pig, is this not enough?'' Ariane whispered hatefully.
Chris chuckled, ''It is never enough when it is about you. I need to taste every part of you...'' He licked his lips sneakily, slightly touching Ariane's ear as well with his disgusting-looking tongue.
Chris then turned towards Heroes and Heroines.
''Our wedding will be held one month later, and I am inviting you all to join!''
*Claps*
The Heroes and Heroine's clapped with smiles.
Chris whispered towards Ariane, ''Let's excuse ourselves from the party; we need to get to know each other better.''
Chris forcefully pulled Ariane from her waist and started walking away from the stage with her.
''Congratulations.'' Heroes kept congratulating.
Chris responded with a smile and nod.
While Ariane had a fake smile on her face.
When they were about to leave the room.
Something terrifying happened.
*KABOOM!*
*CRASH*
The whole building started shaking!
''Eh?!'' Chris was shocked.
Every Hero and Heroine was shaking, trying to keep their balance.
The windows of the Heroes Association Headquarters were blown to smithereens.
But it wasn't only the Heroes Association Headquarters that was shaking.
It was the entire Charity!
But that was not all...
Entire Kindland was shaking!
The surrounding sea around the Kindland had massive waves, almost on the level of a Tsunami!
''What is happening?!'' Chris shouted.
The Heroes and the Heroine's looked shocked.
But also the citizens watching from their homes.
Even their homes were shaking!
But then...
*KABOOM*
Then another explosion happened.
A crimson-colored light pierced the ground and shot towards the sky!
Once the crimson light hit the sky.
The sky turned into pure red!
A crimson color surrounded the Kindland!
Ariane fell down on her butt.
The building seemed like it was almost collapsing!
Ariane put her two hands together, ''Princess Lore - Bring Me To Safety!''
A violet color surrounded Ariane's body and carried her outside of the window.
She landed on the ground while the crimson light was all around her, but she didn't get injured from the crimson light.
''A-Ariane? ARIANE, WHERE ARE YOU?!'' Chris shouted, but he couldn't find her.
Ariane flinched after hearing his voice; she quickly tried to find a place to hide, but then...
Earth below her cracked, which made her fall towards the dark pit!
''Ahhh!'' She cried out, but darkness surrounded her, and the red sky was getting further and further away.
'Is this how I die... Please... Chris, don't kill my parents...' Tiny teardrops appeared on the corner of her eyes.
But then, the surrounding darkness turned into crimson color!
Slowly her falling started slowing down, and the crimson color started carrying her gently.
Wherever the crimson color went, the earth was destroyed, which let the crimson color who carried Ariane go unhindered.
Soon the crimson color destroyed the last piece of earth, and Ariane saw a massive pit of darkness.
'This is... The bottomless pit?' She thought with a hazy mind.
The crimson color gently started descending, and after half an hour, the crimson color stopped moving and put Ariane gently on the ground.
Ariane opened her eyes and looked around her.
She saw walls covered in some kind of crimson veins.
The veins looked like it was alive.
The crimson color spread everywhere through the earth, which caused the massive earthquake and the red sky.
Ariane looked mesmerized, but then... Her eyes widened in shock.
She saw... a man.
The man had crimson-colored long hair, red eyes, and a messy beard. His clothes were dirty and colorful.
He looked a lot different from 4 years ago, but Ariane recognized him... She would never forget him.
''J-Jack?'' Ariane muttered with disbelief; teardrops started trickling down her soft-looking cheeks.
Jack turned his gaze towards Ariane and smiled, ''Ariane....''
