Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs
Chapter 429 I'm The Better Leader
It was the early hours of the morning; the sun was still on its way to full ascension, its journey leaving the morning atmosphere warm and soothing.
In the country of Ergand, within its presidency, there was a garden filled with several human-sized statues and a variety of flowers.
This garden was a place where any stressed mind, especially the president's, could come to find solace, and at the moment, the garden was inhabited by a group of people, ones who weren't seeking solace but rather revenge or peace. There was a fairly long table placed at the centre of the garden close to a pool worth lounging in. Currently, the table was occupied by 5 people.
At one end, the end which had the rather luxuriously made golden chair, sat Seth, his body slouched into the thankfully soft seat, his eyes a little bit unfocused, not even the food placed before him stirring his appetite.
To Seth's right, sitting close to him on the other side of the table was Alice, and behind her stood Adriana. As for the other two, they were right on the opposite side of the table.
Sitting opposite Seth at the far edge was Dorian, her seat obviously less fancy than Seth's, and standing behind her was a nervously fidgeting Mira who couldn't help but look at her back from time to time with a bit of fear.
Sitting there on his grand seat, Seth flicked his tongue within his mouth, a wave of laziness hitting him, and he groaned inwardly at the missed comfort of the previous night and the early darkness of the morning.
Though the plan had been to indulge in a bit of pleasure, Seth had eventually gotten carried away, and in the end, a sex session involving him, Alice, Adriana, and Jane had taken place. The four people had pleased themselves through the night until this morning when Alice had woken him about their issues.
"Ahhh, I wonder what dumb reason they are even fighting for," Seth thought, not really expecting much of a reason from the women.
Seth had just arrived at the table, and though there were some pickings placed before him to stimulate his morning appetite, he had no interest in them.
Seth looked over at Dorian in the distance, enjoying the silence which permeated the table and the surroundings, and then he finally spoke.
"You're sitting directly opposite to me. If I didn't know you better and know you were especially smarter than Adriana, I would think you were entertaining the thought of going against me."
After Seth spoke, silence once more descended on the table. Behind Alice, Adriana's eyebrows twitched at Seth's jab at her hot temper, while Dorian, who was across from Seth, smiled and then spoke.
"In most terms, you are right. Only a fool would dare to go against you, especially me, if I were to go against you, I would just be a bigger fool and while I try not to be that, I am sorry, but there is just somewhere I would have to cross that line."
"Which is," Seth asked with a raised eyebrow, wondering if he had perhaps overestimated Dorian's intelligence.
"Well, I will tell you, but can we please push that to later and settle the problem between me and Alice first?" Dorian said with a pleading face, getting to her feet.
When she saw Seth's not-very amused look, she went on to speak again. "I feel my reason might affect the very important decision you are about to make today, and I would rather you be unbiased."
"Fine, Dorian, tell me what exactly is the case between the two of you because left to me, I should just tell you to be a good girl, come over and apologize to Alice, and this gets all sorted out, and I can get back to activities that I value and not be called upon as some jury."
Hearing Seth's words, Dorian grimaced internally, knowing that she was already on the back foot of the war between her and Alice, but this came as no surprise to her, both she and Alice had been close to Seth before his travel, and they knew his character well enough.
They knew that under normal circumstances, Seth would, without care, choose Alice over her, and Dorian knew that if she wanted to win him, she had to make the situation very abnormal.
Without needing anyone to tell her, Dorian was more than sure that Seth and Alice had spent the night together in some sexual capacity, and though Seth acted uncaring, subconsciously his relationship with Alice had been tightened.
"Well, I believe Alice is unfit to be a ruler, she has forgotten the vows she made to the people when she first began her presidency.
For too long, she has been in a position of power, sitting aloofly above her subjects, and this has distanced her and disconnected her from the plight of the people, turning her into a monster."
The buzzing sounds began after the first of Dorian's words, and by the time Dorian was halfway into the more than the first minute of talking, Seth lifted his right hand, pointed his index finger to the left, and without a word, shot a red beam.
A second later, a huge explosion erupted about half a kilometre from the group, the fiery explosion expanding for close to 300 meters and wrought a wave of destruction that turned everything to dust.
With Seth's simple action, the reminder that the destruction of half of Arilit city failed to give was done.
Right before them was Seth, possibly the most dangerous man in the world, one about whom they should have informed the world but were instead seeking to benefit from him.
Everyone sitting at the table was reminded of why he was such a feared figure.
Though feelings of shock, fear, and excitement went through the people at the table after this reminder, they all could not help but look at the destruction in the distance with a bit of grief on their faces.
This was the capital city, and this was a presidency. Regardless of the direction, the chances that Seth's attack had harvested a good number of lives were almost more than 100%.
"Get to the point, Dorian."
Seth's actions had Dorian biting her lips, her heart aching at the consequences of his actions, but she knew she had a job to do. Knowing that she herself had a small hand in his actions, she moved to salvage the situation.
"You are different, Seth. I am different after you changed me. Soon you will transform Alice and Dorian.
You more than anyone should know that we would need a place to grow and try to understand what we are.
I know for a fact that you have no interest in leadership, so tell me, between Alice and me, who do you believe can lead your clan, your species to the greatest? You are our progenitor; surely you care about this."
"Impossible," Alice said, speaking for the first time since Dorian began speaking, worry on her face. "Seth, you can't pick her. She can't lead your clan, she's married."
