Chapter 717 - By Hook Or By Crook

"Sure, I have a lot to talk. Let's take our time.." Naze looked at her and smiled.

"I will break your teeth one of these days.." Alina was annoyed.

"How do you know about all of this?" She finally calmed down and asked him with a serious look on her face.

"That isn't important, what's important is that I know about it. And, if you don't want me to run my mouth, you will have to help me out a bit." He crossed his legs, and made himself comfortable on the chair.

"You think you can blackmail me? Do you really think you can leave this place alive?" She really had no idea where this guy's confidence was coming from.

"It's not that I don't understand where your confidence comes from, but I am actually one of the most talented people in the world. So, you should not be underestimating me." He could only shake his head with a helpless smile on his face.

"Shameless.." Alina snorted. "Give me a reason not to kill you."

"Hmmn.." Naze thought for a bit and then said, "How about…you don't have the ability to do so? Does that sound like a valid reason?"

"Do you want me to give it a try?" Alina asked with deadly glare.

"Not today, I have got somethings going on." Naze shook his head, "Yes, how about I substitute Max for tonight? We can have fun."

Alina's face immediately sank, "Since you know what true fun is, I think you should be prepared for it then?"

"Scary~" Maze mocked her.

"Anyway, let's get onto the main topic. Where is the place where that b*stard keeps his things?" He asked with a serious look on his face.

"How would I know?" Alina shrugged.

"Come on, I bet you used some kind of technique to fool him. And, if you can fool him into believing that he has relations with you, I don't think you won't know where he keeps his important things. Or…there was no technique and you really did it with him?"

"One more time and I will kill you.." Alina clenched her fist in anger. It was one thing if she deliberately fooled people by tarnishing her own name, but when the other person was already aware of her true nature, and yet still continued to do this, it really pissed her off.

"I am really curious. Why aren't you telling about your strength to your family by the way? I am sure they would increase your status to the first Princess if you did.." Naze asked with a curious look on his face.

"Do you think I care about those old b*stards?" She snorted with a disdainful look on her face, and it wasn't like Naze couldn't understand.

This girl had been in a lot of trouble with her own Tribe.

Initially, she was weak and that led people to look down on her. But her beauty was real thing that got her into trouble, and when it seemed that she was going to be used as bargain cheap, she went ahead and destroyed her own image.

This led to one of the biggest uproar in the Demon World.

She was heavily punished by her Tribe and put in confinement. But, for some reason, when she came out, her strength began to pick pace. People thought it was due to the fact that she had been through a lot, but it was just that her true ability had begun to awaken.

And soon, she had taken the spot of a Star. But, it was too late for the Tribe to amend relations with her. She even refused to accept any of the Elders as her Mentor and roamed around on her own. The Tribe still restored her status as the Princess though. But, it was all on the surface, many people still looked down on her.

And, now this girl was building her strength while hiding all along.

Truly terrifying..

"You are wasting my time, are you going to tell me about it or not?" Naze once again asked her when he saw that she didn't seem interested in talking about herself.

"What is my benefit in this?" Alina asked in return.

"I will keep your secret tightly shut.." Naze assured her.

"Not interested, I would rather kill you here." She shook her head, and got up preparing to make a move.

"You really think you are that good?" Naze shook his head as black colored threads began to appear all around him.

At this moment, footsteps began to sound. Someone was approaching.

Both Naze and Alina froze.

A decision had to be made. Otherwise both of them would fail in their job.

"Hurry up, or you will soon be regretting it." Naze warned her.

"If it fails, you won't succeed in your mission either." Alina wasn't backing down.

"To be honest, what I am currently doing isn't something I absolutely need to succeed at. But, is it the same for you? I am sure a lot of people are waiting for you to fail back there.." Naze said with a smug look on his face.

Alina's face turned dark, and she clenched her fist. She knew that he was right, but from the story above it was clear that she was the type of person who was never willing to bow.

"Die!" She suddenly moved and attacked. But, Naze was prepared. Black threads immediately latched onto her body and restrained her.

"Creak!"

The door to the room opened, and a figure entered the room.

It was Patriarch Yule.

He entered the place, and saw that the hall was empty and the lights were on for some reason.

"I have told her to keep the lights off in my absence.." He frowned, but didn't say anything else, and sat on the couch nearby.

"That was close.." Naze muttered as he looked at Alina, who was glaring back at him.

They were hiding underneath the dining table, and could clearly see the Patriarch Yule who was relaxing on the couch.

"See, I don't wanna foil your plans. So, why don't you cooperate with me?" Nathan asked her.

"Hmph…how do I know that you didn't do it because you were afraid of being caught? Besides, you have already betrayed me before, how can I trust you again?"

He had indeed betrayed her in Max's case.

"Well, I guess I have no option then.." Naze slowly slid his arm around her waist, and Alina immediately froze.

"What are you doing?" She glared at him while grabbing his hand.

"Shout if you want to. You think that I was scared of being caught right? Then let me prove that I definitely am not. Besides, I am sure you agreed on the matter of having fun as long as I was prepared for it."

"You b*stard let me go.." She was literally shaking in anger. But, she didn't dare to shout as well. She knew that she couldn't afford failing her mission.

"You sure wanna grab my hand? Look below, it's showing.." Naze whispered.

Alina frowned and then turned her head below. The next second her figure froze when she realized that her shirt had turned a bit uneven and she was only wearing a shirt. She hurriedly let go of Naze's arm, and pulled the shirt down with both of her hands as her face turned red in anger and shame.

"I will definitely kill you.."

"You sure you want to mess with me?" Naze let out an evil smile as he lifted his hand and wriggled his fingers in a perverted manner, "Or we can cooperate.."

The girl didn't reply, and hence, Naze slowly began to move his wriggling fingers closer to her.

Alina's face turned ashen, and when it was only an inch away from her, she finally gave in while gritting her, "I-I will cooperate…"

But, the anger and humiliation on her face was evident. She wasn't going to forget it anytime soon.

Naze didn't care about it though, he had got his work done.. It didn't matter if it was either by hook or by crook.
