"Mr. Nathan..." Regina wanted to explain things to him, but before he said anything, Luna raised her hand as if she was blocking Reginaâs path to Nathan.
"Luna Eleren..." Regina furrowed her eyebrows.
Luna turned to Nathan, asking, "Is she your friend?"
"Do you know her?" Regina was confused. She didnât expect Luna and Nathan to know each other.
Nathan remained quiet for a moment, contemplating his current situation. On the one hand, Regina seemed to have been following him the whole time. He didnât know her true purpose. On the other hand, this was the first time he had met Luna. Then again, Luna had saved his life. Without her, he probably would have died a minute ago.
So, Nathan turned his gaze to Luna instead of Regina, prioritizing her question over Reginaâs. "I know her, but I donât know much about her. At this point, I donât know whether she is intending to harm me or not."
"Mr. Nathan..." Reginaâs face turned pale.
Lunaâs eyes remained half-closed. She just looked at Regina before looking at Nathan.
"So, you are the one he mentioned..." Luna muttered.
What she actually did next surprised everyone, including Nathan and even his familiars.
She actually placed her hands on his cheeks before pulling his face toward hers. She then planted a kiss on his lips out of nowhere.
"W-What?!" Regina dropped her jaw.
Fenrir blinked his eyes a few times, forgetting about all his wounds. "Are you cheating?!"
"What? How am I supposed to predict that?!" Nathan shouted back while backing off.
"Summoner. I think you need to die sometime." Anubis sighed while rolling his eyes.
"What did you just do?!" Regina pointed her finger at Luna.
Luna, on the other hand, thought for a moment after hearing his familiarsâ reactions.
"Oh, thatâs right. I forgot to ask whether you have a significant other or not before doing it... Iâm sorry." Luna apologized without changing her expression. Even Nathan was confused as to whether she was just devoid of emotion or too lazy.
Nevertheless, she turned back to Regina and said, "Now, I demand that you leave. You are not welcome here."
"What?!" Regina was dumbstruck.
For some reason, they got pulled into Lunaâs pace.
Regina soon bit her lip. She might not be able to fight Luna in her condition because she was exhausted from the battle earlier.
At the same time, she couldnât really leave Nathan alone. Nathan had a possibility that no one had ever seen before. Besides, his strength was too extraordinary for someone at his age.
If he could last that long against Frequency at that level, if they were on the same level, Nathan might crush him.
That was why they couldnât afford to leave Nathan. Besides, she remembered Luna mentioning another person who mentioned Nathan. Who was it?
There were too many questions that needed to be answered.
Does she need to fight Luna? But if this turned into a conflict, they wouldnât be able to get Nathanâs loyalty.
If they became Nathanâs enemy, Luna Eleren could somehow bring him to the dynasty. No, Nathan could simply teleport to the dynasty by himself. The dynasty would gladly offer the protection. In the future, Nathan could single-handedly suppress the empire.
It looked like she had no choice but to fight, but in another way.
She lowered her head. "I apologize, Mr. Nathan. Please give me a chance to explain myself."
"The target was me, and you happened to be collateral damage, even though it was clear that they wouldnât really harm you. At the same time, you seemed to have hidden your intention and to have investigated or followed me.
"Letâs consider this even and go on our way."
Reginaâs face turned pale. "Please let me explain."
"You should stop." Luna interjected.
"You..." Regina clenched her hands into fists. "Thatâs right. Arenât we supposed to discuss the Endless Prison? How about discussing it right now? If you still donât trust me in the end, I can only accept my fate. I will also tell you about the location of the Endless Prison."
"Endless Prison?" Luna tilted her head, not recognizing this name.
Nathan thought about it carefully. He might need the Endless Prison. If there were some elite class aliens there, the trip would save him a lot of time.
In the end, he needed at least 65 million ena if he wanted everyone to have more than 10 million ena, including himself.
In the past three months, he managed to get about 20 million ena after hunting the aliens continuously. This single trip might be worth one or two months of training or even more.
He couldnât really ignore the benefits of this trip.
But he couldnât really trust Regina.
From the looks of it, Ellenwood was dispatched just to stop her. He might not be there if she werenât with him.
At the same time, there might be another benefit in maintaining a relationship with her. From the way she sounded, it looked like the emperor held him in high regard. If the emperor acted, he might be able to get the emperorâs cooperation to hunt down the Death Society.
The problem was what would happen after that. The emperor would definitely like to keep him.
âShould I just pay him by the summoning method? Besides, whatâs the scheme this emperor has? If I want to learn deeper, the easiest way is to maintain the relationship with this woman...â
After thinking about it over and over again, Nathan glanced at Luna for a bit. Luna just tilted her head as if she didnât understand what he was trying to imply.
And it didnât look like she was planning to leave him soon.
âIt looks like we have to dive into this murky water.â Nathan warned the divine beasts through telepathy.
âI donât care.â Fenrir snorted and disappeared. âIâm going to rest.â
âI donât care either...â Orochi was doing the same thing.
âIt looks like he was throwing a tantrum. It must be because he couldnât be the wingman to get your favor to outplay us.â Anubis rolled his eyes.
âIf you need a night companion to push them away, summon me later, Master.â Mae nodded before disappearing.
Kun, Jinwu, Qilin, and Nidhogg also returned, leaving behind Xolotl alone.
To his surprise, Xolotl actually said, âI donât care what youâre thinking, but you should go with this shiny woman. She has a rule as well and she might have the power of a god from another world. Itâs interesting...â
