While Alex and the TimeMasters were preparing themselves to face the rebel Immortals, these aforementioned Immortals were also having a preparation of their own.
"Do you really have to treat me this lavishly?" Annie, who was the kidnap target of the Immortals, said as she let out a tired sigh. "Didn't you say to Mommy's subordinates that you're kidnapping me? Why are you treating me this way then?"
"My, my, little Annie. I thought you were just a little girl. Why are you speaking this way then?" The one who said these words was a white-haired man who was wearing a demon mask.
His hair flowed freely behind him as his stature radiated out his confidence.
This man seemed to be at ease with Annie, which of course made Annie feel ill.
"In my opinion, you should be talking like a kid. "The demon mask man said as he tilted his head. "You look like a kid after all."
"I am not a kid." Annie replied frostily as she glared at the demon mask man. "Since you targeted me, then you should know what I really am."
"Of course I know who you are." The demon mask man said as he nodded his head. "You are-"
"Hmph, since you know who I really am, then you should know that I am not a kid anymore." Annie said as she coldly interrupted the demon mask man. "So don't try to insult me with that kid jokes of yours."
Right now, there was no hint of childishness emanating from Annie.
To anyone who will look at her now, they will only feel as if they were actually talking to a mature, adult person!
"…You may be an adult, yet you still act like a kid in front of those TimeMasters and those foreigners. It was as if you enjoy doing it…" The demon mask man's voice trailed as he slowly shook his head. "Well, I don't care about your play acting. What I care about is your stay here."
"Stay? Hmph, more like imprisonment!" Annie snarled as she stood up from her seat, which suspiciously looked like a golden throne.
"Imprisonment? But we gave you a lot of comfortable items here." The demon mask man replied as he pointed his fingers at the objects scattered around Annie.
There were delicious foods and drinks placed on table behind Annie, while beautiful dresses can be seen in full display on a rack beside Annie. There were also some books and toys nearby, which all looked too fancy for a normal person.
All of these items seemed to be here for Annie's sake, although the person herself seemed to want nothing with these things.
"I don't need you to comfort me. After all, I know what you want from me." Annie deliberately said as she pinched her nose bridge. "Do you really think trying to cozy up with me here can change my mind? Heh, you can try better than that!"
"…So you're still stubborn, just like before." The demon mask man managed to say after he went silent for a few seconds. "No wonder many of my comrades have failed in convincing you before. Your mind have already been corrupted by those filthy parasites!"
"Parasites you say?" Annie started to sneer as if she heard a ridiculous claim. "You call them parasites, yet you Immortals still lost to them. How shameful of you."
"You!" This reply of Annie seemed to have triggered the masked man, as he visibly began to look enraged. "If it were not for that dirty trick by that woman, we Immortals could have defeated them! It's all because of that b***h that everyone in this planet is suffering!"
"Did you just call my mother a b***h?" Annie said without any emotion in her tone. Her eyes seemed to become empty as her entire body became as still as a rock. "Did you just call her that?"
"Hah, so what if I am?" The demon mask man seemed to be unafraid of Annie's current state as he just let out a laugh. "Do you think your mother is a pure person? That damned woman seduced my brother! Of course that makes her a b**ch! "
"Shut up!" Annie seemed to be unable to take it anymore as her rage started to boil over too. "If you dare badmouth by mother again, I will kill you right here!"
"Kill me? Hoh, I am your uncle. Can you really kill me now?" The demon mask man scoffed as he crossed his arms. "Go on, kill me then!"
"…" Annie's face contorted as she heard this, although she made no more moves after that.
"Hehe, even if you want to kill me, you can't kill me, since you just don't have the power to do so!" The demon mask man said as he started to cackle in front of Annie. "Hahaha! It's really fun angering you like this, especially when I know that you can't do anything about it! Hahaha!"
"Uncle Amon. If you continue doing this, your plans will be in jeopardy." Annie spat out as she glared at the demon mask man with anger. "You wouldn't want that, right?"
"…Tsk. Consider yourself lucky," The demon mask man, whose name turns out to be Amon, said as he grabbed Annie's chin. "You were only able to threaten us like this because of your special status. If it weren't for your special status, I could have killed you already."
"Hmph, you're just a coward who's afraid of risking his life." Annie snarled as she gritted her teeth. She seemed to take no note of Amon's hand on her chin as she continued glaring at him defiantly. "Your brother was much better than you in that department. He's not a chicken like you!"
"…So you still think highly of my brother? Hah, you should be ashamed of him, since he's a disgrace for us Immortals!" Amon shouted out as he pulled Annie's chin upward. "That bastard does not deserve to be even alive after his tryst with your mother! Do you really think someone like him can be honored?"
"…Hmph, you are much more disappointing than Daddy." Annie replied frostily as she sneered at Amon. "Except for that time that you stole from Mommy, when did you actually make a full contribution to the Immortals?"
"You!" Amon visibly recoiled after hearing this, as if he was affected by what Annie just said. "You don't know what you are talking about!"
"I don't know? Then why are you relegated to this position then?" Annie said as let out a laugh. "With your power, you should have been an Elder in this rebel group. Yet here you are, assigned to babysit me for 7 days, right until the start of the ritual! Isn't that a little embarrassing, even for someone as shameless as you?"
"I-I-I was the one assigned here because I am your closest relative!" Amon replied as he started to flounder. "There's no way that they will put just any Immortal here. That was why they chose me here, because I am the best fit for this position!"
"Babysitter Amon. Wow, you're actually right. You actually are a good fit for this occupation…'
"Shut up! If you don't stop mocking me, I will personally hurt those other mortals that we kidnapped!" Amon exclaimed angrily as he strengthened his hold on Annie's chin.
"…"
"What was the name of that girl again? Right, its Kiera! I will personally pummel her down if you continue to defy me like this!" By this point, Amon's face started to look a sadistic, as he seemed to be pleased with what he was saying.
"Then hurt them now. You can do that, right?" Annie replied, as she seemed to be unflustered by Amon's threat. "What's the problem? Can't you just beat them up right now?"
"…"
Just like Annie before, who seemed to be unable to take an action, Amon also did not make any move against Kiera or the other kidnapped mortals.
"You… if I weren't for you, those mortals should have been dead meat already!" Amon snarled as he finally let go fo Annie's chin. "They were lucky they were associated with you! Those damn mortals!"
"Careful with what you say, Uncle. You never know, your ritual might fail because of your anger…" Annie's voice trailed as she sat back on her chair.
"!!!"
"Speaking of the ritual, what ritual will you attempt to use now? Will it be the Apocalyptic Heaven Ritual, or will it be the 5 Element Annihilation Ritual?" Annie asked out as she gave Amon a piercing look. "That's the only rituals that you haven't used on me yet…"
"Hmph, don't be cocky." Amon said as he gritted his teeth. "The only reason that we keep you alive is because of your special condition and because of your importance in this war. Make one wrong move, and it will be you who will be punished."
"You give me those threats, yet you can't still punish me." Annie shot back as she shook her head. "How embarrassing could that be for you?"
"Hmph, but even if we can't punish you, we are still able to keep you captive here." Amon said as he looked at the massive chains that are wrapped all around Annie's body.
This chains seemed to have done something on Annie, who looked a little pale right now. "Annie, as long as you are here with us, our plans for the ritual are already assured to be successful!"
"Hmph, you're lucky that my special status also allows you to be safe from me." Annie said with resignation, as a fed-up expression appeared on her face. "If it weren't for that, you are the ones that could have been dead already."
"That's just how it is for you, little Annie." Amon said as he spread out his arms. "You can't attack or hurt us, while we also cannot hurt or attack you. Technically speaking we should be in a tie right now."
"And yet you exploited a loophole in that rule." Annie said as distaste appeared on her face. "You cannot hurt me, but you can still capture me! "
"Exactly!" Amon replied as his anger earlier seemed to have evaporated already. "And that brings us right back to the topic that we should be talking about already."
"…"
"Annie, as long as you will allow yourself to be affected by the Ritual, I can assure you that your dreams and your mother's dreams will all come true." Amon said as he gave Annie a comforting smile.
Annie only made a revolted face as she saw this smile, as it did not fit with Amon's rotten personality.
"And we also have told the TImeMasters about this Ritual." Amon continued talking as he ignored Annie's revolted face. "Do you really want them to go to their certain deaths during the ritual day? If you don't, then please don't resist the ritual! Just let it happen, and everything will be alright."
"…"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
