Millennium Tension

Chapter 31: Little Gift

At this time Aizen was in front of a large mirror in the room examining bite marks on his body.

After Ana, who finished her 'warm conversation' with Evelyn, she immediately returned to the master bedroom. But instead of helping Aizen get out of the 'marking ceremony', she joined Axel in biting his body.

"What is this... A ritual I don't know about?" Aizen asks with a wry smile while removing all the bite marks from the 'ritual' before changing his clothes.

Ana and Axel just giggled and didn't answer Aizen's question. He knew that there were still a few things that Axel hid from him, but he did not insist on that for longer considering sooner or later he would know.

"Do you still want to sleep?" Aizen saw the two girls still curled up on the bed and did not appear to be getting up immediately.

Ana remembers that Aizen is going to meet the City Lord family heads for several things. "We are still sleeping and can't answer you, right Sister Axel~"

Axel giggled softly. "Right, we are still asleep. You can settle matters with the City Lords first. Look, they are on their way here."

Aizen who saw them did not seem to want to wake up and was still huddled lazily on the bed, just leave it alone and come out of the main bedroom to brew his morning tea.

A few moments later, Aizen, who was sitting in the living room and was about to make tea, saw Evelyn coming out of the room and coming toward him.

"Let me present a cup of tea for you, Master." A polite respectful tone is addressed to him. Aizen did not know what Ana did last night to make a strong girl like Evelyn who had become a City Lord in Azazel City immediately change her attitude like this.

Not rejecting the request of the girl who really treated him as her Master, Aizen gave the tea brewing set to her. "Alright, then serve your best tea with this and enjoy this morning tea with me."

Evelyn felt honored to enjoy morning tea with her Master. The enlightenment last night really changed her perspective. Although at first, she considered Aizen like a god, now she treated him as a god. A god she must serve with everything she has!

Their morning tea party went on comfortably until guests who were heading here came to ring the doorbell of their 'Grand Suite' room.

Evelyn saw that the two girls who always accompanied Aizen seemed to be still sleeping, did not know what they were doing last night, and immediately opened the door like his servants.

"Welcome, Master is waiting for your arrival." Evelyn said politely.

"Master?"

"Ara? Miss Evelyn has moved very fast indeed."

"Hm... Miss Evelyn is here, I think you have returned to Azazel City."

Evelyn invited the guests who came to come inside and stood behind Aizen like an obedient servant.

this time only five City Lord who had previously sat with Aizen at the banquet party and two successors from the Stanford and Avery families had come along.

Eileen and Rachel seemed very surprised by the brush changes from their big sisters who seemed to serve the men in front of them. They looked at Evelyn full of meaningful questions and only returned with a gentle glance from Evelyn who seemed to tell them to wait later to ask her.

They heaved a sigh of relief because Evelyn did not seem to be forced into her role as a servant but because of her own will. Even though they know that Aizen is like a god to them, that does not mean he can do whatever he wants to anyone.

Their naive thoughts that seem inconsequential calm down a little and wait for the reason for their big sister sudden change in attitude for later. Little did they know, Evelyn's enlightenment might drastically change their current perspective.

"Good day to you, Mr. Aizen. Sorry for our sudden arrival this morning." Thomas sat in a slightly floating wheelchair and was being pushed by Eileen to the side of Aizen who was enjoying tea.

"You are so considerate, Mr. Thomas. I already expected your arrival or your messenger this morning." Aizen kindly invited the other guests to sit on the available sofa chairs and Evelyn prepared tea for them.

Although the other City Lords were still a bit surprised at Evelyn who was on their level as the current city lord, acting as a servant, they soon recovered given Aizen's status. What is the value of mortals like them before a god? Maybe they will also act like Evelyn later.

"Maybe one of the reasons for your arrival was because last night you forgot about the three young men?"

Henry, Samuel, and Robert felt a little awkward at the relaxed question from Aizen, they knew the three young men Aizen was referring to and they really did forget about the successor of their family who was indeed lacking in discipline.

"Sorry for our negligence, Mr. Aizen."

"Hum. That is indeed one of the reasons why we came here. So, what do we have to do for you to return them back to normal?" Samuel agreed with Robert, but he asked in an arrogant tone that had become his habit.

"Er. What should we do for you to forgive them?" Henry repeated their question, feeling Samuel's words sounded inappropriate.

"It's easy, what I do is just a lesson for their attitude, I'll take care of them later." Aizen's simple answer seemed to calm the three of them. Now they can move on to their main topics which must be discussed privately.

"So it is like this, Mr. Aizen. After your enlightenment for us last night, we discussed the disaster that will befall Mars one day. Our concern is because of the current Earth condition data that you shared with us." Thomas immediately entered their main topic.

"We worried that Mars will become like Earth someday, and the level of strength that even up to [Rank 8] really can't make me sleep well." Lania said her agreement.

"Hmm... For that... I have estimated it. If you are worried that Mars will be ruled by monsters one day you only need to eradicate all monsters that threaten humanity. In short, eliminate all monsters above [Rank 3]." It sounds simple but difficult to do. Aizen's statement made the City Lord a little confused because they couldn't kill all the monsters with their current weaponry and resources.

"That seems a little impossible for us, Mr. Aizen. Looking at our current combat strength."

"They don't usually leave their territory, so we assume they don't threaten us and ignore them."

Before the City Lord could complain more than that, Aizen stopped them by raising a palm that seemed to tell them to be quiet and took out five boxes and a chip from his [Space Storage].

"I'm not done talking yet. Take this, in each of these boxes there is a kilogram of [Mystical Stone]. This will solve your resource problem for the day of the annihilation of the monsters. And that small chip contains some of Earth's technology in the days of then, even though your technology is indeed advanced but it is still behind my era on Earth first. This will solve your weapons problem."

Hearing that they thanked Aizen profusely, what Aizen gave was very big for them. Since the search for the [Mystical Stone] expedition has stopped their technology has continued to decline, although this is a temporary solution, it is more than enough to change the status quo of humanity on Mars.

"But remember, this power is a mortal factor and you can lose it at any time. Think of it as a little gift from me to you. So use it wisely, I want to see a better Mars in my next visit." Aizen warned sternly. The City Lords heard the warning with meaningful understanding. There is no scheme which will succeed before the god, they are forced to become honest and good human leaders.

"Although you should carry out the annihilation operation immediately, you should return to the main Stanford family mansion beforehand. I know the three young men are still there, I want you there to see if they want to be healed or not." Aizen smiled mischievously.

Aizen's words were like an order to them and they immediately excused themselves to return to the main mansion of the Stanford family. Henry, Samuel, and Robert heaved a sigh of relief because their successors will soon be healed.

Now only Aizen and Evelyn are left in the living room. Evelyn who saw her Master just gave a valuable object to City Lord looked at Aizen with a pitiful look because she was not given something like them.

"What's with that pitiful look... I don't forget you, take this. There are one and a half kilograms of [Mystical Stone], and this chip contains data that you should immediately implement. I want you to lead humanity on Mars better until our next visit. One more thing, after you declare me as your backing, make sure all the other nobles including the City Lords don't deviate from their responsibilities." Aizen smiled amusedly at Evelyn's childish face and gave her a box and a chip that was different from the one he gave to the other City Lord.

"Evelyn thanked Master." Evelyn bowed slightly to express her gratitude happily because her Master did not forget it.

"You should go back to Azazel City and prepare your revenge operation, we will leave Mars later this afternoon. If you complete the modifications before that, we will come to watch you and maybe help you if things don't go well."

Listening to Aizen's advice, Evelyn immediately excused herself and hurried back to Azazel City to ensure the modifications are completed today and telling her people who were at Stanford City to return to Azazel City immediately.
