Chapter 289-A Friend ln Need ls AFriend lndeed

After Ron finished speaking only deafening silence remained in the room, the demons below Ron's faction had a livid expression, while deep surprise rose upon Angelina's face, her previous happy demeanor faded away, as an expression benefiting that of an Empress took her face, my friends too had surprised expression, especially Alex who sent me glance filled with the desire to know what I had done.

But the one with the most defeated expression will be Ron, who looked as if he had aged a few more years but even then his eyes didn't leave mine, I could still see a hint of desire for vengeance,

"So are the issues over?"

Finally, I spoke with a taunting voice, bringing all the attention to me, it didn't take a genius to figure out that I had some hand in it but no one dared to stand up to question the truth, Ron made a choice and now he would have to bear the consequences of it, as I said before since he l.u.s.ted after my sister, he must at least get this much back,

"Looks like my help is no longer required"

Angelina said with a smile as she stood up, her smile this time more forced while I could tell that she seems to have taken a much more serious approach towards me, I too stood up as I moved for a handshake,

"Well, it's being nice meeting you"

I said and seeing that I wasn't moving to make fun of her, Angelina's expression softened a bit, her hands moved as she hook with mine and I had to say that it was the softest touch I ever got,

"It was nice meeting you too, if you want you can come and meet me any time~~"

Angelina said with a seductive voice, while I just smiled, nodding one last time she left the room, leaving me alone with Ron and his faction a few seconds later Ron spoke,

"I would like to speak in private to Austin"

Hearing his words the demons under him nodded his head and started to leave while I too nodded my head to the guys telling them to wait outside and within seconds it was only me and Ron left, he stood up as he straightened his back, his eyes peering into mine,

"I have to say you are much more dangerous than I ever imagined"

"I will be taking that as a compliment"

I responded to Ron's word with a smile, his demon-like eyes narrowed,

"You did good, now you have me on your leash, what else do you want?"

Ron asked with a calm tone, I nodded my head at his words as I spoke.

"There is one more thing that I want"

"What is it?"

Ron asked his voice cold yet emotional, I smiled as I pointed my hands to him,

"You're friends.h.i.+p"

"Um?"

This time Ron's mind shut down as he looked lost, I chuckled at it as I took out a contract and threw it to him, who reflexively caught it, narrowing his eyes he quickly read through the contract and his eyes widened from disbelief,

"Th-This?"

"Yes, it's true and I am willing"

A minute of silence remained between us before which Ron asked the questing tugging his mind,

"Why?"

"The same reason as I told you before, I want to be your friend, look you took action against me and I took one back, now why don't we let bygones be bygones and become friends?"

"But why?"

Ron asked again, well I did expect this, after all the contract I gave him stated that I will no longer use this to blackmail him or try to hurt him or anyone close to him with the knowledge I have, to him a demon who grew only seeing death and betrayal, this might be new and maybe something which he couldn't understand.

In truth from one way, this might seem stupid of me, letting go of the one thing that's keeping him on a leash but for me, I am seeing it as an opportunity, in the game, there is a special scenario where we along with Angelina will take down Ron and his dying words were

Who said that I only have to use my gaming knowledge just to get the girls? I could also get the boys...nope that came out wrong, well in the end this was my plan, just like the friends I made, I wanted to become his friends, it's better than forcing him as in this case I will have 100% of his support and even in the unlikely case he goes against me, well then I will just kill him and get rid of the trouble, for the current me I have the power to get that done,

"I really can't understand you"

Finally, Ron said with a wry smile

+50 affection

'Looks like it worked'

Affection isn't something just from the capture target, I can even use this to gauge the feelings of the one close to me and it would seem that my gamble this time has worked, of course, both of us are a long way from being 'best friends but this is still a start.

Within a second both of us signed the contract which split into light and entered our bodies, now Ron, looked much more alive, moving forward he shook my hands,

"To a long friends.h.i.+p"

I spoke and he replied,

"To a long friends.h.i.+p"

With that we just started to have a small bro talk, I even said to him that I was willing to help, if any was required and as such 10 minutes later we left the room, giving me a nod Ron left with his group, while Alex started to pester me,

"Austin.....please, please tell me how you did it"

"Nope, trade secret"

I didn't even budge a bit and Alex could only reluctantly let go, with this not even an hour later the news spread, many of the demons were distasteful of how the things had ended, and a lot of them even screamed for a chance at revenge, to these people Ron took a ruthless approach silencing them, this made his popularity reach rock bottom.

But on the plus side, my faction is now finally coming to be considered to be among the top, matching with the other factions that started a long time ago, the ones that left my faction in a momentary impulse right now was lamenting the choice, while the ones that stayed were enjoying the fruits of their labor.

I made sure to reward the ones that stayed true to the faction, thus once again rising my popularity, to celebrate it I threw a party for all my members,

"All of you enjoy to your heart's content!"

I said as I raised my gla.s.s up for a drink and the rest of my faction followed, the rest of the night was spent in a party mood, several of the girls from my faction tried to come up to me and chat but they were all blocked by a very powerful wall that couldn't be breached, even the quiet and shy Sonia was quite forceful.

In the end, the party was a huge success and everyone enjoyed it to their heart's content, I went to sleep with a happy mind while my cute little sister clutched onto me like an octopus greedily taking in my scent, it took some pampering and she was finally happy, with that both of us slept in each other embrace.
