Rise of The Anti God

Mira gave a bow before saying with a plain expression, "I appreciate your concern, Warlord Nightshade. But the Godwin Clan doesn't care about some slaver trying to sell his slaves."

Mira subtly furrowed her brows, making Damien think that she felt offended. The only reason he could think of was that the actions of Mehron's guard made it seem like the Godwin Clan already picked a bad slave which was him.

Mehron softly chuckled as he narrowed his gaze, "Of course. It was just my concern and respect for our Chief Godwin that made me act in a way unbefitting of my status. But…I mean it when I say that the Godwin Clan deserves to have the best human slave who not only can do menial things but also be strong enough to be a human shield for us, just like my slave here, Kang," Mehron pointed to the tall, bulky human slave behind him whose head was shaved and was wearing only torn shorts.

Damien saw that this big guy looked like a brute with an expression that seemed like he was prepared to fight at any moment. He was definitely above the Noble Ethereal Realm. But what was the deal with this Mehron guy?

He noticed how the ghouls around him were continuously bowing without even raising their heads because of this guy. And the large entourage with weapons following him seemed like an army was protecting him. Was there any reason he commanded such fear and respect among them other than being a Warlord? He remembered how these ghouls didn't give the same treatment to Warlord Khun.

Even this haughty Mira maintained a neutral tone before him without showing any disrespect.

"Your slave is indeed of the best quality, but my Master doesn't really need a strong human slave," Mira said without even taking a glance at Mehron's slave.

Damien shook his head inwardly, wondering when this girl would stop making indirect jabs at him.

"How could she know their worth without having one? How about I gift my personal slave to your Master as a friendly gesture between our clans? Who knows…our clans might get closer in the future," Mehron said with a veiled smile, making Damien feel like this guy was definitely up to something.

Mira raised her brows subtly, and she knew that Mehron's human slave was of the best quality. But no matter how strong that human slave was, she knew her Master wouldn't even bother in the least.

It was not like Damien could be replaced despite being a slave, and nor will her Master want to have a human slave around her after everything she had gone through.

"I am afraid I will have to decline your kind offer on behalf of my Master," Mira said calmly with a courteous bow.

"How dare you refuse my father's goodwill? Your Master isn't even here, and you, a mere disciple whom the Chief picked from the streets, dare to make decisions in her stead?" A young man's voice boomed from behind Mehron as Damien saw a ghoul looking in his early twenties and parted the hair on the front, walking out with a nasty expression.

He was wearing a white shirt with the emblem of a dark blue scorpion and had a short blade sheathed on his hip. Damien could see that this was a spoiled brat drunk with the power of his clan.

And his father, Mehron, didn't even bother to stop him but had a subtle smile as if he was enjoying this.

Damien saw Mira clench her fists and wondered if she was going to lash out. But to his surprise, she spoke calmly, "Young Lord Lehron, I am not refusing his goodwill on purpose. My Master has already let me know that our clan doesn't need any more human slaves. I am merely carrying out her wishes."

"Really? I wonder what's so special about this shitty human slave to not even consider my father's best human slave. Let me see for myself," Lehron said with a snort as he approached Damien with a sinister glint in his eyes.

Damien didn't even have to think much to know that this asshole was coming to fuck him up. He had to quickly think. Should he try to defend himself at the cost of causing his aunt a serious problem? The reason he remained silent the entire time was that Mira had already told him how human slaves should behave. They weren't even allowed to speak without the permission of their Masters, nor even look at any other ghouls directly. If caught, a simple death would be merciful.

However, he didn't know if he should be surprised or not to see Mira stepping in front of him and blocking Lehron from getting near Damien, "I apologize, but you cannot touch my Master's slave without her permission."

Mehron raised his brows subtly upon seeing Mira defending a human slave. Even the people standing in the street were surprised to see their Chief's disciple preventing the youngest son of Mehron from even getting near that human slave.

They knew it was not allowed to harm the human slave of someone else without permission. But they all knew that, at best, Young Lord Lehron would only play some prank and wouldn't cripple the human slave. Then why was Lady Mira acting like this and offending him since her actions seemed as if she valued the human slave more than the young lord?

Lehron always had a crush on Mira the moment his eyes caught sight of her years ago. But when he revealed his intention to make her his woman, she rudely dismissed him, and since her Master also supported her decision, there was nothing he could do.

But since the rumors of her dismissing him spread among the public, coupled with her refusing someone handsome and powerful like him, he started to hold serious grudges against her for making him lose face.

And even now, she made him lose face in public by stopping him for the sake of a human slave!

He said in a low, seething voice, "You dare, little bitch. No wonder your parents couldn't wait to leave you. If they saw you trying to protect a human slave, they would rather die again."

Even though the people around couldn't hear what he said, Damien heard it and wondered what this asshole meant by saying that. And seeing Mira's fists shaking behind her back, he could tell this asshole must have zero brain cells to provoke someone with a short fuse like her.

Lehron then raised his voice as he added, "Who do you take me for? I have let your arrogance slip by once but not again!" With a rageful expression, he tried to grab Damien's neck by letting his arm go over Mira.

But Mira frowned as she grabbed Lehron's wrist and,

*THWAP!*

The sound of flesh getting struck hard by a hard surface echoed in the area as people standing around gasped.

Lehron stumbled back by a few feet and fell over his own entourage. His eyes widened and shook in shock, confusion, and anger as he slowly raised his head while placing his hand on his cheek, "Y-You…Did you just slap me?"

Before he even finished his sentence, his entourage unsheathed their blades and surrounded Mira.
