Chapter 140 Chapter 140 - Melinda\'s Interference

People who were now doubting The Reaper\'s performance completely changed their minds when they saw the person who had just appeared in front of everyone.

A beautiful woman had just appeared in front of the crowd with a clear frown on her face, showing her disapproval of the actions of the public.

This person was obviously Melinda who was angry at the crowd for booing her new recruit in her family, well... soon-to-be recruit.

"If you can\'t even what happened during the fight then I suggest you all shut your mouths," exclaimed Melinda, talking about to those who hadn\'t been able to see the entirety of the fight down there.

She was angry that people who were ignorant about the world of the awakened were trying to insult someone who had probably ten times all of their talent reunited into one person.

Because the Inter Family Tournament was open to everyone who wanted to spectate, many stupid people were in the crowd which caused the intense amount of booing in the earlier stage, they were also in the Ravenwood Territory which meant that most were alike to Thorin.

That meant that most of them had approximately the same opinion as him about The Reaper.

It wasn\'t a good one, but it was still an opinion which needed to be taken into account.

The crowd which had been insulting Aiden since the start, now all closed their mouths as the head of a founding family had appeared in front of them, especially to tell them that.

There was also Emma who was on the ground looking at her floating figure which was now really confused about that whole matter.

\'Why did she appear to defend him if he had such a reaction earlier?\' she thought, trying to make sense of what had just happened.

She thought that she had been right about this earlier, but she wasn\'t so sure anymore as a person who hated wouldn\'t have appeared to defend him, it would make literally no sense.

If Aiden hated such a person, it would literally make no sense as she was currently defending him, by even showing herself which was really rare for a founding family head.

Normally, those types of people liked to observe everything from a distance and send someone other than them personally to intervene.

But, she had done so for Aiden which meant that they probably had some sort of relationship.

She remembered that smile that she had given Aiden quite well, and thinking back on it, it seemed quite sincere.

Then, Melinda who had just interfered to calm the crowd down, turned toward Aiden who was still on the Arena with his dagger under Jackson\'t neck.

Seeing that he had been announced victor, he slowly moved his dagger away as he didn\'t want to kill in plain sight, especially when such a thing wasn\'t allowed.

There was also no reason for him to do so, and even if he had wanted to he wouldn\'t have been able to as the referee and Melinda were looking at him.

"Congratulations Reaper," she said, winking toward him as she completely disappeared.

It was like she hadn\'t even appeared in the first place as she went back to the private room where the rest of the Founding Families Heads were all in, watching the scene of Melinda winking at the Reaper on their small crystal balls.

As soon as she arrived, the dwarf, Thorin, came running up to her with a big smile on his face.

"Are you trying to seduce your new member Melinda?" he said with a massive grin on his face, clearly wanting to annoy someone and unlucky for her, it was her turn to be annoyed.

"Just shut up Thorin, no one even likes you," she said coldly, not liking the comment he had just made toward her person.

She found it completely inappropriate as she was a lot older than Aiden, and she was a lot more mature on the same occasion.

However. she had to admit that there was something about him which was attractive, his mysterious attitude and way of acting. But, it was still not enough for Melinda to try and seduce such a young man.

Because Melinda might look young but she was at least 150 years old which was approximately a 130-year-old gap between her and Aiden.

Nonetheless, based on appearance alone it wouldn\'t be shocking to see them together alone at all, but Melinda would never do such a thing. She liked to tease others but it was always playful, she was never serious when doing such things.

"Wow, why are you like this?" said Thorin acting hurt as he went back toward his seat.

It wasn\'t the first time that he had been insulted in such a way and he didn\'t mind it at all as he simply smiled as he went back to his seat.

He knew that they all found it annoying but it didn\'t care as that was simply who he was.

As he sat back in his seat, he couldn\'t help himself from saying one last comment.

"Oh and be careful, I might just steal him," he said, with a big smile on his face.

However, this time there was a small truth in his comment, he wasn\'t simply smiling or saying nonsense, he was actually saying it.

He had to admit that the dark aura that he had released had impressed him as he was really young to have such a big one like that.

Thorin also had a big aura but he was much older and was much more experienced with those sorts of things.

Melinda, however, was only scuffed when hearing him say that as she knew that he would join her family at the end of the tournament.

Still, it wasn\'t official but there was no way for him to get out of it, she was simply too powerful.

And because he owned a special body she wanted to have him at all cost and she would make sure that no one would be taking him away from her.

Maybe it was a little obsessive, but it wasn\'t like someone could go against her apart from the other founding families.

***

Back in the Arena, Aiden was still unmoving only now releasing what had happened and what he had done.

He remembered his emotions taking over his actions and wanting revenge at all costs which was why he had released such a dense aura around him and scared his opponent shitless.

However, playing back the scene in his head, he was happy with the performance he had shown as no one would try to mess with him now as they knew that he certainly held a lot of power.

In fact, it was even more reassuring as Melinda had stepped up personally for him.

Then, he came out of his daze and was now outside of the Arena as it seemed that he had been teleported out of it, because he hadn\'t moved in quite a time.

Then, Thorin\'s voice resounded inside the Arena.

"The next fight will now commence!"

It seemed that there were already two people inside the Arena who had already started fighting as the voice of Thorin resounded.

He had to admit that he didn\'t like that his emotions had taken over his actions and he also didn\'t understand how such a thing was possible.

He knew that he had been affected by the appearance of Lucius and the Nightshade Patriarch, however, he didn\'t even know them.

So why would he react so strongly when seeing them?

It was making him worried that maybe he wasn\'t completely himself in this new life of his which might explain why some of his behaviour when he first arrived might have been weird of him.

But, he would now make sure that emotions wouldn\'t dictate his actions, or at least, he would try harder as he would now be working on his mental.

Then, as he lifted his head toward the Arena to watch the two people fighting one against another, a soft hand touched his slowly caressing it.

Aiden didn\'t even have to look to guess who it was, as he knew extremely well that it was Emma which was once again trying to comfort him.

However, Aiden didn\'t need that support of hers anymore as he was calm once again, not feeling those bubbling emotions inside him.

He had come back to normal which was why he moved away his hand away from Emma, not wanting to give her any type of hope that something might happen to them as he didn\'t have time for that, especially since he wouldn\'t be seeing her every day quite soon.

He would soon leave and he didn\'t want to be attached to someone before leaving as it would just complicate things for absolutely no reason, it would just be easier for both of them to not get attached, even if it might be too late in the case of Emma.
