Chapter 705  chapter 704-Were they All Lies?

The subsequent battles too weren"t that hard. Despite their looks, the two of them are really powerful, though the women of the Zexion tribe weren"t anything to scoff at. Thus, the match ended up with a very close victory for the two, which didn"t sit well with them, the negative emotion boost doing its work, slowly chipping it all away.

Every path till here has been a trial for Nix and Melvin, from humiliation to loss, to being dealt with like idiots, to perhaps watching the love of their life being taken away, and now the strength that they held so highly got broken down like paperweight. The chipping away of their mentality has reached towards its final pull.

"Austin! The ones you brought to us are definitely worth all the respect! Come, let"s enjoy a feast for this situation!"

At the wording of Chief Vick, the rest of the members shouted out.

"Yes!"

"Let"s throw a big food party!"

"Let"s eat!"

The loud shouts of the women filled the place. The other three with Carmel, Nix, and Melvin looked quite uncomfortable at the whole situation, the problem being worse for Carmel who wants to find a solution to treat her sister quickly. But that"s not going to be easy at all, and I have already drilled into their minds the importance of partic.i.p.ating in this celebration.

"How can we reject such kind words of yours? Let"s enjoy!"

I shouted alongside Chief Vick with a smile, my words making the woman"s smile turn wider as she patted my back and roared.

"Now that"s the spirit!"

...

Third Person POV:

The "party" in question went in full swing. It didn"t matter if the sunlight was shining, or the morning was just getting higher, the whole tribe moved with powerful zealous movements as they started to arrange the little feast for the addition of three warriors to their ranks. The whole situation looked quite tribal and brutal but with its own hint of beauty.

The stocked food of the beasts was taken out as the chefs started to rip and create a powerful-smelling barbecue. Several arranged open table settings were kept within an open area, with lots of the village members taking part, small drum music being played here and there, creating a certain nice yet blood-pumping vibe.

The chief sat at the center of the gathering with the elders and more powerful women members taking rounds, their husbands and related men all around serving the food or taking part in the celebration. The main members of the attraction, the new warriors and Austin with Nini took the main stage with lots of people trying to talk to them.

The situation was more focused on Nix and Melvin with several of the women hitting on them, their actions being very forward and open, with several of them just asking for a good time now. Both Nix and Melvin first looked quite disturbed by this which soon turned into small smiles as they dealt with it all around.

The women were also not left alone, as certain men with sly smiles tried to get close to them, trying to talk them up, or trying to get them to be their sugar mommy. The n.o.ble presence and power of Carmel were quite the temptation for the men, who like the powerful but Carmel easily dealt with it by having Austin near her, who kept the rest at bay.

The main point was around Austin, as not many of the women dared to get too close to him and the reason for it kept coming out of the slightly drunk Chief Vick"s mouth as she kept explaining the story to Carmel.

"Hiccup!...and he beat the s.h.i.t out of the rest! Making the women have no will to even try and tame Austin!.....hic!...those that tried could only get beaten down!"

Slowly Chief Vick kept spreading the story around, her protection around Austin being the bigger factor that none of the women sneaked up to Austin. Carmel listened to all of this with shining eyes, taking in the stories and adventures of Austin, hearing the stories of how he gained their respect and admiration and became close to them.

The light and toned stories of adventure and fun brought stars and a bit of admiration into the eyes of the senior sister here, her gaze going to hold certain emotions as she chatted lightly with Chief Vick. Meanwhile, Nini just stuck close to Austin, her aura giving off a "do not approach" vibe, and to the many that could feel her power, no one dared approach too close to her.

And as such, time started to fall by. Half an hour later, the party started to fall into a certain ambiguous atmosphere. The women started to get handsy with their men, the men acting more coquettish around the women, slowly seducing them, the smell of desire soon wafting in the air and it didn"t take long for Carmel to notice this.

Her face turned a bit flush from both the alcohol and the open affairs happening in the open, the women pulling their men away and the doors of certain huts being closed. It didn"t take long for the significant amount of people gathered around to decrease, while the light sounds of pleasure started to be heard around.

"Oh....my...my....is someone shy?~"

Chief Vick teased as she gulped a bit of her alcohol, her eyes focused on Carmel who shyly shook her head. To this, with a grin, she leaned in and whispered.

"What about it? Do you want to try any of the boys here?"

To her question, Carmel"s expression turned cold as she shook her head, Carmelia keeping her face straight at the situation now to which, not losing the smile, Chief Vick spoke.

"What about Austin?~ He seems to care deeply about you~"

The last whispers brought a certain blush to the very cold Carmelia. It would be a lie for her to say that she wasn"t attracted to Austin and certain feelings hadn"t been sprouting but its just at the beginning stage, and Carmelia and Carmel have no intention of pushing too much into it. After all, the two of them now are just a broken family in that sense.

"Don"t let his expression fool you, from what I can understand Austin seems to care a lot about you."

The last of her words brought a smile to even the cold-faced Carmelia, her gaze soon turning to look for her friends which turned out to be empty, her expression filling with doubt. Seeing this, Chief Vick with a smile responded.

"Looks like those two went out for some good time!"

Her laugh at the end made Carmelia frown, the prospects of Nix and Melvin doing such things in such a situation did not match up to the image she had in mind. Sure, she knows men of n.o.ble positions always have their own enjoyment, but that"s not how Carmelia had ever seen them. Plus they are her best friends and should know how deeply she feels disgust for those kinds of behaviors.

Yes, she has her own aversions to it, and yes her friends know it but above all that they came here for her little sister. They had used their words of care for her, their care for her little sister as the excuse to jump into coming here, forcing Austin to take them with him, and now at the juncture where they should be the most careful, the two went out to have some fun with girls?

What about their so-called loyalty? What about the so-called reasons they threw at Carmel to get them here? What about the friendship they so-called talked about? Was everything from the beginning a game to them? Was she a game to them? Slowly the acc.u.mulation of everything started to finally bubble forth, anger, anger, and anger now turning into resentment.

Resentment soon turned into hatred and it slowly reached towards the top, the eyes of Carmel turning extremely cold, her gaze turning to the Chief Vick, who with raised eyebrows pointed to a certain direction as she spoke.

"They went that way."

With that, Carmelia with light yet pressured steps moved forth, anger bubbling both in Carmel and Carmelia, the beginning of the end was nigh.
