Chapter 174 A mother's dilemma!
"Since, Xavier here has reached level four then why don't you go and claim the resources as well as your rewards." Family head commented as he handed over a key and a book to Xavier out of nowhere.
...
'Storage space?' Rae looked at the family head's body in surprise. Shivam Kerr had brought the book and the key out of thin air which could only mean that he had a storage space on him.
"The book contains the experience of people who have reached level four and their theories on going forward." Shivam said as he presented the book to Xavier.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"This key here would allow you to unlock one item of your desire from the family treasury." Shivam Kerr said as he levitated the normal looking metallic key on his palm.
The key was made to unlock the items in their treasury. The items could not be just given to anyone. Because Xavier had achieved level four and that too with his natural talent, the family head decided to give him this key.
"There are techniques, potions, and artifacts inside the treasury. Choose the one you find most appropriate for yourself." Shivam stated before handing over the key to Xavier.
He hoped that Xavier would choose something to stabilize his strength for Xavier's upcoming seclusion. A small period of seclusion was necessary to understand the new realm of strength as well as the changes in the physique.
The treasury contained many items that were passed down from the previous generation, and some of the valuable items from the current generation too.
'Just one? He is very stingy with the resources. Are these noble families generally so poor?' Rae thought as he glanced at the key which could unlock only one treasure. Though, he did not voice out his thoughts and kept a pleasant expression on his face.
'Let's just hope that the treasury has something of importance to me.' Rae thought as he took the key.
"You should leave now, Elder Qino!" The family head ordered the white faced elder. His attitude was stern, leaving no alternative for Elder Qino.
Elder Qino left as soon as he heard the family head's order but not before having a good look at Hina, and her curvaceous breast. Because he would lose the authority to coerce Hina from that moment onwards.
Elder Qino would no longer be able to use Hina and that was not it. From the attitude of family head, he could assume that he had successfully offended the head.
The family head leaded Xavier and Hina to the treasury. The treasury was a whole separate square like black box with only one door for entry or exit.
Shivam Kerr did not accompany Xavier to the inside of the treasury. He stopped at the door and asked Xavier to enter alone.
"Alright mother, you should wait for me." Xavier said to Hina with a calm smile, subconsciously noticing the deep cleavage.
"Yes... you go. I would be waiting outside for you. Take your time." Hina smiled back kindly.
Though her mind was already full of various thoughts.
'Was he looking at my breasts?' Hina thought as she stared at Xavier's back. She had felt him stare at the breasts for an instant. Though, it could be also because of the last night's influence.
'I must be overthinking!!' Hina thought that perhaps the last night was too much for her, and seeing Xavier so casual with her as if he did nothing was a surprise.
Being so mature, it was still kind of awkward for her to be casual with her son after the incident last night. That is why she entered the family head's house so late.
If not for her wanting to show that she really did not remember the last night's incident then she would not have showed up here at all.
Because Xavier was going to get the rewards from the mission anyways. Who would want to plot against a level four warrior? Not even idiots!
'I need to discuss with Sasha or maybe not.' Hina wanted to have a talk with her good friend about the incident last night but then again, Sasha was not a really good person to get some advice from.
As much as Hina understood her good friend Sasha. Sasha was a bitch in personality, always horny, and very much liked younger men.
All of these points would no doubt make Sasha a full supporter of the taboo relationship in between Hina and Xavier. There was also this reason that she could not let this incident be known to anyone.
Because that would make it obvious that she enjoyed it and pretended to be asleep the whole time. Even though it was true, she could not let it known to be anyone.
'I do not want to encourage him but I also don't want to confront him about this mistake.' Hina thought as she recalled Xavier's smile towards her just now. He seemed to have forgotten the incident last night and treated both Elder Qino and Hina normally.
She did not want to confront Xavier as that would get very troublesome. Not to mention the strange ability that he had awakened after his gain in strength. She could not risk being memory wiped and manipulated like Elder Qino.
Hina understood that the forbidden fruit tasted amazing but it's consequences were equally worst.
'Having reached level 4 is enough. I need to find myself a man who can pleasure me, more than my son.' Hina made a resolution as she decided to not continue with this thing.
It was indeed true that she enjoyed last night but she was sober at the moment. The effects of the aphrodisiac had worn off and now she could think in rational manner.
Hina knew that her years of loneliness could not be suppressed anymore. Now that her son has finally achieved a level of strength that could be considered very strong, she decided that it was time to stop taking care of him and start to think of her personal life.
Instead of risking everything on hoping that Xavier would avoid her, which did not seem to be happening at all, she decided to find a man for herself which would make her son give up the relationship brewing between them. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire
