《High-Class Mob》52. Two Choices
Advertisement
Vyra, a woman whose beauty is said to rival if not surpass every other elf. It was said that her beauty is so radiant that it could blind a man.
Other than her beauty, she is regarded as a genius of Magic. Having the ability to call upon the Four Elements of Wind, Earth, Fire, and Water; she is someone who is regarded as a true genius.
It was said that the only reason why she has yet to reach Minor Sorcerer Stage is that she is too focus on keeping the four elements balance. But if she had focused on one or two elements, then in her age she should already be a Sorcerer or stronger.
Being someone of her status and position, it is not so simple to do what Colt is asking of her. Thus as she looked at him, Vyra repeated his words to confirm.
“Leave the Genesis Family and join the Edgeworths together with Jin and Sera. Is that what you mean?”
“That is correct.”
Vyra was apprehensive about her approach towards Colt. She had just arrived in the capital and had been invited by Jin to go to the Edgeworths to talk about something really important.
She expected it to be something in regards to Apothecary, but hearing Colt’s bold opening statement made her heart skip a beat. Leave the Genesis Family? That is not something she can easily decide.
But on the back of her head, she was considering doing just that. She remained speechless for some time after hearing Colt’s affirmation. She looked at him carefully, trying to discern anything that she can use to read his intents.
But came up with nothing. She wanted to speak but felt like she needed to choose her words properly. Before her was someone who’s unpredictable and mysterious, like an old schemer that had won a thousand battle of words.

She cannot read his thoughts that is, ‘I want to sleep’ floating in Colt’s head.
In the end, her words stuck to her throat. But her hand was held by Jin, he too was anxious but he showed her a smile saying, “I am here’ before looking at Colt.
“What do you mean by your words?”
“You haven’t told her the situation?” Colt raised a brow as he asked Jin.
Jin shook his head, “I reckoned it would be much better if you tell her yourself.
“Is that so. But did you at least tell her that I know about your relationship?”
“Yes, I told her that much.” Jin nodded his head.
Colt turned to Vyra once again. He now understood why she is so apprehensive about the situation.
“Miss Vyra, if you wish to know what I mean by leaving the Genesis Family then the meaning of it is simple. I want you to cut every connection to the Genesis Family and when I mean everything, I wish for you to ask to be disowned or announce to the public you will leave the Genesis Family for the Edgeworths.”
BaM!
Vyra’s eyes turned hostile. Icicle spears around Colt, their tip pointed at Colt’s neck.
Colt didn’t move, his expression remained the same as he stared at Vyra’s expression. No words to be said because Colt can understand.
“I know you’re too kind to kill me so drop the façade because you’re not scaring anybody. Continue doing what you are doing and the one who will be on the ground will not be me but you.”
As Colt said his part. Chilling energy came rushing to Vyra’s side. She froze up as a chilling intent almost swallowed her. She turned around and saw the smiling Butler Go standing beside Sera near the door of the mansion.

Though he cannot hear their conversation, when Vyra made her move against Colt, the battle-hardened old man instinctively reacted.
If not for Colt’s earlier warnings about this happening, then he would have made his move. He may be old, but he is a warrior and against a young elf Mage with little to no battle experience, even Butler Go is sure he’ll be able to subdue her.
Vyra’s heart received a shock as Colt’s calmed voice entered her ears. Slowly, her heart settled because of Butler Go waking her up.
Taking in a deep breath, Vyra looked at Colt with serious eyes.
“Do you mean to say for me to betray my family? I can’t do that! Despite everything else, they are still the ones who gave me life! They are the ones who provided for me! They are the ones who molded my current self!”
Colt could see the emotions rising in her heart through her eyes. She was wavering, she should be aware that if Colt knows her relationship with Jin then the Genesis should also be aware.
Her conflicting emotions stemmed from her love for her family and her love for Jin. Family or one’s lover, it is a question that is hard to comprehend if one had not been placed in a similar situation before.
There are those who do not hesitate to pick one from the other, they follow their desire, and whether they regret their choice or become with it, at least they still made the choice.
However, Vyra is a kind person.
She is attached to them no matter how badly she is treated. They may treat her like a tool one day when they need to, but she cannot let go of them just yet.
Memories of the past linger like chains acting as the fetters that shackle her from making the decision. The fond memories of what had been still lingered to this day. Despite those days ending so long ago.
Colt looked at her eyes, he felt the need to talk to her and speak as he can feel something within him resonating with the emotions she is trying to convey. She is conflicted, but she is also begging him to give her a much-needed push so she can live away from her past.
“Yes! They are still your family, but they do not see you other than a tool! That family has given up on you! But this, together with Jin you have created a family, you will become a mother and if the Genesis kills him, they will sacrifice your child’s life to save their useful tool! What is more important!? The past or the present!? Choose!”

Lost In Translation
If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things. And people have branded me a myth. But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone. My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen. These are what real myths are. And me? I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick. Discord link here. [Disclaimer: Book 1 of this story will likely be published in KU by around the start of 2022, so please keep that in mind. Book 2 and onwards will continue here until they are published as well.]
